The fog in the morning has just dispersed, and there is still some cold in the air last night. There is already the shadow of the caravan on the Lord Avenue in the south of Shanghe town.


    These caravans, even smaller ones, including mercenaries in charge of security, have 20 or 30 people, while some large caravans have as many as 30 or 40 people.


    They drove carts full of goods, covered with black cloth for dust and rain, pulled out black teams in the wilderness, and drove slowly on the rutted Lord''s Avenue.


    These caravans set out at dawn. Half of them rushed to Shanghe town from all parts of the Kingdom, and half left Shanghe town and returned to all parts of the kingdom.


    In this vast caravan, one team is particularly eye-catching.


    More than twenty of them rode on four hoofed horses and wore gray linen cloaks. Except for three of them, the rest were covered with silver shining armor.


    All the mercenaries in the caravan who met this team kept laughing, holding swords around their waist and casting vigilant eyes. They would gradually relax until both sides were far away, and then curse in their mouth - a group of damn bastards, obviously a knight team, but did not raise any family flag. It was not intended to cause trouble for people!


    The mercenaries along the way were wrong about this.


    This is a team of knights. Yes, but they don''t belong to any nobles, and for some special reasons, they don''t want to be too ostentatious, so they don''t put up any flags.


    They are the God of light who went to Shanghe town one day in advance.


    Looking at another caravan passing by and on his horse, the young priest finally couldn''t help being curious. He turned to bishop robus and asked, "Sir, how can so many caravans go to Shanghe town? I heard it''s a very dilapidated town. Is it because of an iron mine? The caravans that can go are also full of goods."


    The young priest''s name is Cruz. He has short black hair and looks ordinary. His clean face still has a trace of juvenile childishness.


    "I hear, when did you hear that?" asked bishop robus with a relaxed look, holding the reins in both hands.


    "About ten years ago, or more, in short, when I was young." Cruz recalled, "everyone says that the river collar in the north is not a place for people. Warcraft will appear in winter, and humans are not their opponents at all. Lord robus, are there really Warcraft in the river collar? Are they really as powerful as legends?"


    "You have to ask Reverend Giovanni about this question, and he will be able to answer your question," said bishop robus.


    Hearing this, Cruz immediately looked up at the middle-aged priest on the other side of the bishop and asked, "Lord Giovanni, is there really a Warcraft on the river?"


    Priest Giovanni was thin, bald for most of his forehead, and his face was a little old.


    Hearing the boy''s problem, he smiled and said, "why, have you been troubled by this problem?"


    "It''s not, just curious. Is there really a Warcraft?"


    "If we had arrived in Donghe town two months earlier, you might have seen those guys with your own eyes."


    "So it''s true!" Cruz raised his voice and asked, "what do they look like? Are they particularly ferocious, fast-moving and like to eat human children?"


    "Is that what you heard?" asked bishop robus.


    "Yes, my Lord, that''s what people around me say."


    Priest Giovanni said, "I don''t know what they like to eat, but they must not be picky about food, as long as they can fill their stomachs, whether human children or animal cubs. As for appearance, have you ever seen ugly dogs?"


    "Yes, I ate their meat when I was a child!" Cruz said. Stray dog, that''s the animal he hates most.


    Priest Giovanni smiled and said, "if the dog you ate when you were a child was as big as the horse under your crotch and ten times more ferocious, maybe you weren''t responsible for eating meat."


    "The horse is so big!" Cruz looked down at the gentle horse under his crotch with a cold shiver in his heart.


    "No, maybe!" he said. "If that dog was so big, it must be me who was eaten."


    "Lord Giovanni." Cruz then asked, "what kind of place is Shanghe town? Why do I think it''s different from what is said. With so many caravans, it should be very prosperous?"


    The answer was bishop robus: "they all came for the iron mine, which makes them profitable, and they are naturally very positive. Cruz, you should remember that businessmen are the most untrustworthy people in the world. As long as they have enough interests, their positions and morality can change at will. They are brave enough to ignore any taboos and sell everything."


    "My Lord, that''s because they lack faith," Cruz said positively. "As long as they follow the steps of light and follow the guidance of the God of light, I believe even mercenary businessmen can reform and do generous deeds."


    Cruz''s words satisfied bishop robbs.


    "Yes, that''s it," said bishop robus, "People without faith are just beasts in human skin. All their life, they just linger between sin and desire. They don''t know what they really want, nor what kind of road they are walking on. They just follow desire and commit countless sins all the way. As servants of God, we should lead them to the right path and let them go They recognize their sins and help them clean their souls. "


    The young Cruz priest, with a serious and firm look, nodded and said piously, "the bright road is narrow, but the dark road is open. We should drive the sheep like a shepherd dog to keep them from going astray."


    "That''s right, Cruz, you answered very well!" bishop robus praised with satisfaction. "The count of Lingfeng castle is the same age as you. You should try to be his friend. He is now being led astray by the scholars. We should be his guide and lead him to the bright road, which is not only to save him, but also to save the suffering people on the river."


    "Bishop, I will!" Cruz said firmly, "Even if Warcraft comes, I won''t be afraid. As long as I have the protection of the God of light, the ferocious Warcraft will fade. I will go to the river to light up, build a temple here, light a fire, let people sit together in winter, eat hot food and sing the hymn of the God of light. Everyone is close as brothers."
