The Truth of Magic

73 The enemy in the forest

as one of caesar’s subordinates, luck also participated in the transportation of the merchant group.

He was the leader of Zhao Xu and the other players, so he brought them to meet up with Noah, who was in charge of the smuggling operation. Then, he told them to follow the 13th carriage.

There were almost twenty carriages in the entire caravan, and there were dozens of people escorting them. Basically, each carriage was assigned a few people.

The atmosphere of the entire group was very solemn, as if they were not escorting goods but prisoners.

when the sun was a little brighter, luck walked over and said to the warrior maple leaf, “from now on, the eighth carriage will be under the charge of the four of you. i don’t care what the reason is, unless leader noah gives the order to give up, i’ll confiscate the security deposit if you lose this cart of goods. there’s no need to even talk about those who are following us to the southern capital.”

“what about the spell caster? he doesn’t count?” Hearing that luck only mentioned the four of them, the Rogue rainbow cried out.

“he’s different from you guys. he’s just going with you and taking care of each other. when necessary, he’ll also provide support with spells. you’ve received a reward, how can you be the same?” Luck couldn’t help but raise his tone.

zhao xu looked closely at the four of them. if they dared to take this kind of item, they would be digging their own grave. he just didn’t know if the four lifestones were worth the reward.

it was actually common for players like them to hitch a ride. they didn’t even need to freeload on the most basic food and lodging. if they had something to do, they would work and split the loot. if they had nothing to do, they would safely reach the destination.

also, you must report to me clearly the so-called log-in and log-off time of you players at night. You must also follow leader Noah’s request. Once the time is up and we don’t see you after half a quarter of an hour, our team will continue to move forward. You guys do as you see fit.

luck repeatedly reminded him about this, and the captain, maple leaf, repeatedly agreed.

and you, Mr. Zhongxia. Although we won’t force you to keep watch, I hope you’d better sleep near the caravan, in case you project yourself again and find out that we’ve already left.

zhao xu didn’t have any objections and nodded in agreement.

arthur’s players could sleep in the game, but the risk was that if they were attacked at night, they would be very passive and would have to get up before they could even put on their armor.

therefore, many solo players would choose to go offline in the wild after leaving the battle. basically, the time before they went online was equivalent to teleporting back to earth, so there was no risk.

however, this caravan needed someone to keep watch at night. if they were attacked, they would have to move at any time. if they went offline, they would be in a passive position. that was why lake asked maple leaf and the others to set up a tent and sleep in arthur at night.

after lacko returned to the front, fengye began to assign the night watch arrangements to his team members.

After a while, the entire smuggling caravan officially set off.

Hurricane city was destroyed by the aftermath of a legendary spell, and the center of the spell was outside the city.

after nearly a hundred years of natural evolution, this place had slowly recovered its hilly terrain.

zhao xu roughly checked the map and used his knowledge (geography) skill to help him make some judgments. he estimated that during the night, they would have to travel through this forest that wasn’t very dense.

compared to normal caravans, which could pass through the post roads set up by the merchant union, this smuggling caravan could only open up a path by themselves.

“youyou, why don’t you sit here?” Captain Maple Leaf pointed to a corner of the carriage. There was still half a seat there. Adult men like them definitely couldn’t sit there, but Youyou could.

no need, brother Fengye. I have enough Constitution. after walking a few steps, he said slowly with sweat on his forehead.

the carriages of this caravan were basically fully loaded. the tire marks were very deep, and the last few had to cover up the traces left behind at intervals.

under these circumstances, zhao xu and the others naturally didn’t have a spare carriage for them to use.

But if Zhao Xu was a level 5 wizard and promised to provide protection, then leader Noah would definitely be willing to do so.

Zhao Xu’s 14 points of Constitution also ensured that he would be in a good mental state during this journey.

Basically, the higher one’s physique was, the stronger their endurance would be.

back on earth, zhao xu might have felt tired even after running 1000 meters, but with his 14-point physique, even 3000 meters was a piece of cake for him.

“Youyou, did you know that when I was training as a mage, a fun teacher told me that after he reached level five, he had never tried to touch the ground with his feet when he was adventuring in the wild.” The poet, the Antarctic frog, teased the girl.

“Why?”

“hehe, about that.” just as the poet was about to answer, he suddenly saw zhao xu looking around at his surroundings, so he asked, ” “Mr. Zhongxia, Did you know?”

zhao xu was still thinking about the best escape route when he heard this. he couldn’t help but answer, ” “level 1 spells include summoning a mount, and level 3 spells include phantom foal. If your spellcasting level is high enough, it can cover a day’s journey.”

“That’s right.” the poet, the antarctic frog, said lightly, but did not continue.

zhao xu almost wanted to turn around and look at her expression, but he held himself back.

zhao xu mumbled to himself. could it be that he was trying to test if he was really a spell caster?

were players that cautious now?

Summoning a Mount was an arcane spell, not a divine spell, and only Zhao Xu was able to cast it.

The poet did have a list of Level 3 arcane spells, but he would have to wait until level 8 to cast them. He just didn’t know if this poet could last until level 8.

if zhao xu were to cast the summon mount spell right now, with the aid of his ain stone and his delayed spell talent, eight hours would be more than enough.

but the reason why zhao xu was now walking instead of riding a horse was because he hadn’t learned this spell yet.

The level 1 arcane spell scrolls that Antonya had given him were still lying quietly in his backpack.

suddenly, the entire caravan began to slow down.

the leader of the caravan was noah, and only the few of them were qualified to ride horses. the speed of the caravan was also controlled by them.

Zhao Xu looked at the forest in front of him, which was much denser and more exuberant than before. Then, he turned around and looked at the things that were being pulled on the carriage.

he hurriedly activated his ” literacy ” check and the knowledge (nature) check to ask questions.

This time, Zhao Xu’s luck was still pretty good. He passed the check and got the answer he wanted.

Zhao Xu looked at his information panel and could only sigh. Luckily, this was a reasonable trouble.

“do you know noah?” zhao xu asked, but he was looking at wanderer rainbow.

the other three all shook their heads, and after thinking for a while, rogue rainbow said in a low voice, ” ” the boss who was in charge of this is dead. he came from another gang to take over the territory and only recently took over. ”

At this time, the entire team had completely stopped, and the four people knew that something was wrong no matter how stunned they were.

Zhao Xu could only hope that before Noah started doing this kind of business, he would understand the situation at the various ports.

He didn’t want to face the anger of a group of Druids.
