Looking up, at the end of the road at the foot of Weizard is a towering cliff overlooking the sea, on which sits a faintly visible tower, which is the destination of this trip—Candleburg.
As the saying goes: Wangshan runs to death!
Although the'Candle Castle' at the end of the'Lion Road' has entered Weizard's field of vision, it will take at least a day or two to walk if he really walks.
'Wow...'
Riding on the horse, Weizard heard the sound of running water not far in front, and he gently knocked the horse's stomach with his heels, speeding up.
The stream is clear, the stream is gentle, and the depths are blue. You can see many scattered pebbles and big round stones between the streams. When exposed to the sun, they are dry and white.
Coming to the edge of the creek, Weizard paused for a while, letting the two war horses drink and rest.
"I'm finally getting there."
Looking at the tower on the cliff in the distance, Weizard thought with emotion: "The traffic is too backward! I really miss the trains and planes in the real world..."
At this moment, from the woods on the other side of the stream, there were bursts of shouts of killing and the howling of wild beasts.
"Um?"
Weizard increased his vigilance. He sorted out the things the horse was carrying and checked the equipment on his body again. After confirming that he could enter the battle in good condition, he turned on his horse and rushed in the direction of the sound. past.
…
A small Amn caravan consisting of eight double-top carriages is walking on the winding "Lion Road" between the hills. A dozen caravan guards armed with bows and swords Riding horses on the front and back of the caravan, they are always on alert for possible dangers.
"Adams, why did you say that my father kept urging me to get to the'Candle Hold' as soon as possible?"
In a large carriage in the center of the caravan, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl in gorgeous clothes was asking the elderly housekeeper who was sitting opposite her: "He knows that I will finish my studies at Brehowway College soon. , Why can't you wait any longer?"
"Miss Laura, you are too immersed in your studies..."
The old man, known as Adams, explained slowly: "A period of time ago, a large force composed of goblins, hobgoblins, ogres and hill giants was assembled by two powerful ogre wizards. Attack on Mulan, the second largest port city in the south of Amn!"
"... This group of evil creatures not only looted the large amount of gold transported from Maztec on ships in the harbor, but it is also very likely to imprison a member of the'Six Regiment Council' (the ruling class of Amn). Leader..."
Having said this, the old butler Adams sighed: "Hey! The South of Amn has been completely turbulent..."
"For your safety, my lord, he will strictly order you to take you to the Oghma Temple in'Candle Hold' as soon as possible."
"Yes... But why are we going to'Candleburg'? I'm not familiar with the place!"
Seeing the girl’s confused expression, the old man smiled helplessly: "Miss, this is because the bishop of the temple, Adela Harris, is an old friend of the adults. I want to come to the'Candle Castle' to ensure your absolute safety... and , Haven’t you been looking forward to going to the "Candleburg" library for further study?"
"Yes! Adams, I almost forgot what you didn't say!"
The girl blinked her big bright eyes, looking yearning: "For me, all kinds of wonderful knowledge are the best partners!"
"Miss Laura, you..."
Just as the two were talking, the bumpy carriage under them stopped.
Adams frowned. He opened the car window and asked in a deep voice to the outside: "What's the matter? Why should I stop?"
"Master Adams, we still don't know the specific situation."
A burly soldier replied respectfully: "However, the guard in front of the convoy is coming to us..."
"Take the necessary precautions! Everything is based on the safety of the young lady!!"
"Yes! Your lord!"
After ten breaths or so, there was a crisp sound of horseshoes from far to near.
A caravan guard with a hooked nose whispered from the window of the carriage: "Master Adams, our scouts are missing..."
"Um?"
Adams's eyes condensed, and he asked in a deep voice, "Has the second batch of people been dispatched?"
"It has been sent out... If there is still no reply after a quarter of an hour, I think we are in trouble!"
Adams thought for a while, and then issued a series of orders: "Order the caravan to shrink the formation and be more vigilant! Also, you immediately send two good players to carry the family badge to the guard of the "Candleburg". Rescue… "
"Yes! Your lord!"
Soon, the caravan receiving the order stopped at the top of a gentle hill, and the eight chariots formed a circular defensive array in an orderly manner.
The caravan guards deployed defenses in the gaps between the vehicles, and some archers arranged their arrows behind the baffles of the vehicles... Within a short quarter of an hour, the Amn caravan became a solid Simple "fortress".
"Miss Laura, we may be in trouble!"
Adams said with some worry: "Until everything is figured out, the caravan can't move on for the time being, and everything is about safety."
Laura nodded, expressing understanding.
"Adams, have you encountered something similar before?"
"Encountered..."
Adams said with relief: "Miss, don't worry! I have made the guards fully prepared, maybe this'trouble' will be solved soon..."
Unlike the inexperienced Laura, Adams has already sensed a little bit of danger. He secretly calculated in his heart that if he really encounters something that the caravan guard can't handle... Will he be able to do it
"Perhaps, the identity of the arcane spellcaster can no longer be concealed..."
Adams has prepared for the worst: "Perhaps, I have to move and leave the Rodney family that has served for decades."
"Wow..."
A long howl came from far away, and Adams's face changed suddenly.
"Damn it! These are ferocious wolves..."
The atmosphere in the caravan suddenly became depressed. Under the scolding of the guards, the horses pulling the vehicle were all concentrated in the center of the convoy, and they were firmly tied together by the forearm thick hemp rope.
"Use black cloth to blindfold the eyes of these animals!"
Adams commanded loudly: "Don't let them be frightened... Otherwise, the car array will be rushed away from the inside!!!"
