"Of course, the purpose of our alliance is for this!"
said George loudly.
"I've already negotiated with the other people in the carriage, asking them to give up the space for the carriage. From now on, we members of the Plantagenet Alliance will sit in the nearest carriages! This is also allowed by the black robe!"
"Also, we noble gentlemen will form a guard team to protect the safety of these carriages in turn! Of course, this is under the premise of assisting the black-robed knights. As for the beautiful ladies, you need to worry about logistics and cleaning. Already!"
"As for weapons, don't worry, I've already made preparations and got a crossbow!"
George announced his intentions aloud.
After discussing for a while, the teenagers and girls all expressed their support for this.
"Okay! We agree!"
As for the position of the leader of the guards, it was a matter of course to let George take it. George immediately struck while the iron was hot and assigned several tasks.
Afterwards, it was announced that the banquet would continue, but it was obvious that everyone's interest was gone.
"I originally planned to find another cross sword for you, but now it seems that I don't need it!"
Holding the wine glass, George walked up to Leylin, and pointed to the hilt of the sword on Leylin's waist.
"Every time a convoy of wizards passes through the prairie, there are deaths. Is it true?" Leylin asked.
"Of course, if it's good, it's only one or two. At most, a dozen or so died at one time!" George shrugged. "Otherwise, why would I go to such lengths to form an alliance that will disband when it reaches the coast?"
"After the seeds are planted, there will always be harvests!" Leylin said with a smile.
In any case, grouping together can indeed increase the survival rate, and these surviving apprentices will have goodwill towards George and the family behind him. As long as one of these apprentices can be promoted to a wizard, it will be very rewarding.
Even if you don't, it's not a loss, is it
"In addition to swordsmanship, I am also amazed by your wisdom!" George's eyes lit up. "These are still my father's orders."
"So! Would you like to help me?" George held out his hand.
"As you wish!" Leylin smiled, clasping his hands together.
…
Leylin's agreement to George's request was naturally not impulsive, but after careful consideration.
He didn't know much about the dangers of the grassland. In this case, joining a group and cooperating to clear the customs was also a good way.
Hoo hoo...
Gusts of cold wind came, hitting the face like a knife cut, Leylin sniffed, and smelled the fragrance of green grass.
"It's been fifteen days since we entered the Death Prairie!"
Leylin looked back at the carriages and saw the traces on several carriages, his face was a bit gloomy.
These traces are all connected in three lines, and they look like the claw marks of some kind of creature.
"The dangers on the Death Prairie are beyond what ordinary people like us or even reserve knights can resist!"
Since entering the grassland, although the adults in black and white robes stepped up their patrols, and the apprentices huddled together, there were still casualties.
The traces on the carriage were made by a group of prairie scavenging wolves. It was a siege that the convoy suffered when they first entered the grassland.
Although no casualties were caused, the pack of wolves once charged to the edge of the carriage and even caused damage to the carriage, leaving a deep impression on Leylin.
"Since then, apprentices can't camp under the car, they all sleep on the carriage! Even so, there are still casualties."
Leylin's face was gloomy.
Although they are protected by black-robed knights on the carriage, the teenagers always have to go out to rest and meet their physical needs, and this means danger in this crisis-ridden prairie.
A teenager was bitten by a poisonous insect and died when he got out of the car.
"Basic chip analysis shows that the toxins of poisonous insects can erode the nerves of the brain within 13 seconds, and there is no time for treatment. Even a few white-robed wizards can only watch the young poisonous hair..."
From then on, the apprentices never got out of the carriage unless it was absolutely necessary, and the space inside the carriage was not only small, but with so many people staying together, the smell was naturally not very good.
At the price of driving the carriage for the black robe, Leylin got the chance to go out.
Although it may be dangerous to sit outside the carriage, it is actually safer with the black robed knight next to him.
As for the technique of driving a carriage? Leylin just followed the black robe for a while, and the chip recorded it completely.
"It's getting dark! Everyone form a circle around the carriage and rest on the carriage!"
A voice sounded from the front, and the entire convoy stopped immediately.
Traveling at night is not only dangerous, but the horses will not be able to rest and are prone to death, which will be even more troublesome.
"You are good at driving a carriage!" The black-robed knight on the side opened his slightly narrowed eyes, and his voice was low.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Leylin nodded.
After returning to the carriage, a strong smell came over his face, causing Leylin to frown. Seeing the blank faces of the apprentices, Leylin sighed secretly again.
Since the casualties, the faces of the boys and girls have lost a lot of smiles, and the atmosphere is very gloomy and miserable. He doesn't like to stay in the car, and there are also reasons for this.
"Leylin, you're back!" A young man with freckles forced a smile on his face and greeted him next to him.
"En!" Leylin sat down, looked around slightly, took out a few pieces of bread and started to eat them.
The dry bread was chewed in his mouth, as if he was chewing sand. It tasted very bad, but Leylin still resisted, swallowed the bread, and there was another stinging pain as it passed down his throat. Leylin quickly opened the kettle, drank a few big gulps, and then let out a hard breath.
Since entering the grassland, even supplies have become a problem. Although the apprentices have gold coins, in the absence of shops and merchants, gold coins are not much better than stones.
"Ley...Leylin, how's the situation? We still have a few days before we can get out of this damn grassland?"
The freckled boy waited until Leylin had finished eating before asking.
His words clearly attracted the attention of the people in the carriage, and several eyes focused on Leylin.
"When I was driving, I talked with the black robe. We have already traveled half the distance. If the rest of the journey goes well, we will reach the coastline in half a month."
"Oh! My God! There's still half a month left! I can't bear even a single day of this hell!"
The freckled boy gripped his hair in frustration and complained.
"Hey! Look out, Casa, as long as you persist for another fifteen days, we can reach the coastline. Delicious fruit pulp, fluffy white bread, a comfortable big bed, and a warm bathroom are waiting for you !"
A teenager on the side was cheering up Kasa, and he didn't know whether he was speaking to Kasa or himself.
Boom! !
There was a regular knock on the door, and the carriage door opened. George was wearing soft armor and a long sword at his waist, looking like a handsome knight, "Hi! Gentlemen! Ladies! It's time for a break! Want to go out If you want to relax, please come out, if you don’t need it, please stay in the carriage, after all, it’s dangerous outside…”
There was a commotion in the carriage, several blushing girls glanced at each other, got up and got out of the carriage.
Leylin shrugged and grabbed the cross sword, "Let's go!"
As a guard, he also needs to get out of the car to protect these Miss Jiao, although at most he can only sound an alarm and call for the black-robed knight to come to rescue.
"I... I won't go!" Kasa on the side twisted uneasily.
"Okay!" Leylin spread his hands and got out of the carriage.
Stepping on the soft grass, Leylin couldn't help stretching. The endless grassland looked very beautiful at this moment. If there weren't so many dangers, Leylin would probably like the scenery here.
"It's beautiful!" George said, looking at the sunset slowly setting in the distance.
"It's beautiful, but also dangerous!" Leylin murmured.
"There is danger everywhere, my friend! Disease, famine, war, this world is full of life-and-death crises. Although it is a life-threatening danger for us, for the white-robed wizards, it is like being in their own back garden. It's the same as spreading!" George clenched the standard long sword in his hand.
"Are you trying to say that as long as you have strength, you can gain security and freedom?"
"That's right! Just like Kasa, he has lost his courage. On the road of pursuing power, he lacks the spirit of adventure. Even if he arrives at the Wizarding Academy safely, he may not be able to become a wizard. After all, the process of learning witchcraft is more difficult than the death of the prairie." It's a hundred times more dangerous!"
George threw away a stone in his hand, "It's time to protect our beautiful babies!"
Looking at George's back, Leylin had a smile on his face: "Courage? But for me who pursue the truth, caution is equally important!"
"Chip! Start scanning!" Leylin thought silently.
Following the command, a three-dimensional image was formed in front of Leylin, showing the surrounding terrain.
On the light blue geographical image, there are dots of white dots, these represent apprentices, which means they can't harm Leylin.
And the knights in black robes are just shining red dots. These are the existences that are believed to threaten the subject's life after the chip analysis.
There are a few white-robed wizards living in the carriages in the middle. Leylin doesn't even dare to use the chip to scan them. He is afraid that the other party will find out that they are fluctuating, and it will end badly.
Through continuous scanning, the dangerous situations around him appeared in Leylin's mind one by one.
"Even if there were poisonous bugs that time, they couldn't escape the chip scan. Now it seems that this place is still safe!"
This was the guarantee that Leylin dared to come out.
Although he agreed to be a member of the guards, he still wouldn't do stupid things that put himself in danger.
Through the chip, he can grasp all the situation in a radius of twenty miles, which can also ensure his safety to the greatest extent.
