"You mean that carriage?"
The leader of the caravan was startled by the sudden appearance of Loren, swallowed his saliva and stared at him: "no, nothing, just some broken promises and spices, nothing special. What''s the problem?"
"Nothing, just ask casually." he shrugged his shoulders slightly, and the black haired wizard didn''t continue to study further: "you don''t have to tell me everything, sir."
It''s just a few dead bighorn deer. It''s impossible to attract hundreds of ghouls and even attack humans for food - there must be something else in the camp that attracts these monsters.
And there should be nothing else that can attract their attention except the things in these carriages. Now that the caravan has left the Principality of lottel, it can still be attacked by ghouls, which proves that these monsters are following up all the way, rather than having their nest somewhere nearby.
But there was no point in asking. Lauren glanced at the caravan leader, who was still staring at him warily - even if he asked, I''m afraid he wouldn''t speak.
Obviously, this caravan is different from what I imagined. It seems to hide a lot of secrets. The dark haired wizard sighed gently. Since a long time ago, his long-distance journey has not been smooth.
Is Asriel actually some kind of evil god of bad luck, or a strange goblin that will suck away other people''s luck?
"Dear Loren, how can you slander me like that?" the boy''s unhappy voice sounded in his mind.
"Can you hear what I''m thinking?"
"No, you probably never noticed. Every time you want to complain about me, it''s all an expression."
“……”
"What do you think we should do now?" the leader of the caravan looked at Loren with hope, and the caravan guards around gathered one after another. After a few words of entanglement with a teenager, Loren quickly said:
"Ghouls are social creatures, so there must be their temporary nests nearby. If we can find them, we can eliminate them all at once.
Of course, it will be more dangerous - the sky is about to darken. This monster has a very powerful night vision. If we are not careful, we will be caught and eaten by them one by one. After all, there are hundreds of them, several times our number.
Another way is that we hurry all night and leave here as soon as possible. These monsters don''t adapt to the environment outside the Principality of lottel. If we catch up for a while, they won''t continue. "
Speaking of this, Loren, who looked at the caravan leader intentionally or unintentionally, deliberately raised his voice: "what''s more, since they have found the reason for chasing us, just throw away the bodies of these bighorn deer."
"Yes, just throw away these bodies." the leader of the caravan nodded again and again. It was a pity to look at the dead bighorn deer and bite his teeth: "break off their horns and throw away the remaining rotten meat. It''s not worth a lot of money anyway!"
The caravan guards around breathed a sigh of relief and congratulated themselves that they didn''t have to fight these damn Monsters - even if they knew that they were afraid of fire, it didn''t mean that these monsters were not terrible.
As for Loren, he can directly blow up these ghouls and their nests with the "Turin fire", but since the other party doesn''t ask, he is also happy to be free. After defeating mazka, it''s a little hard for him to use this high-level magic spell.
Moreover, since even Asriel felt a certain danger, a certain degree of vigilance was also necessary. If you hide some strength when you don''t need it, you may be able to save your life at the critical moment.
At the suggestion of the dark haired wizard, the determined caravan leader finally chose to go all night. The surrounding men and servants immediately began to pack up, and the caravan guards who had just finished the battle quickly put away their tents, put on their luggage and prepared to go.
Although all the work of a busy afternoon is wasted, this sweat is nothing compared with fighting with a group of cannibal monsters. After cleaning the camp, the caravan set off again against the moon that had been hanging in the sky.
As the night deepened, the caravan guards on horses lit their torches around the sides of the truck, and the exquisite four-wheel carriage led the way in the front.
This made Lauren somewhat surprised. Generally speaking, the carts of the caravan owners were close to the middle? If you walk in front, what should you do if you accidentally encounter a pit or something?
Before he could ask, the decorations of the four suspected oil lamps on the roof of the carriage suddenly burst into dazzling white light, and the originally dark road immediately seemed like day.
"Firefly curse"?!
"You probably haven''t seen it. It''s called a fluorite lamp, a new thing that appeared more than a year ago." it can be seen that Loren''s stunned caravan leader leaned up on an old horse with a proud smile on his face: "it is now an important commodity of the corona family, and many nobles from abroad have placed orders for our workshop."
"Even the Archduke Fred of lottel, we came here this time to deliver goods to him, including a whole twenty fluorite lamps!"
Looking at each other''s proud look, Loren''s attention was completely attracted by the fluorite lamps - locking the low-level magic spell on the items, even in a new way, which was like opening a new mode!
Although Loren knows nothing about alchemy, it is certain that the maker of this thing twisted the lamp completely by the force of emptiness in some way, and even formed an established "spell", which can be used as long as some simple trigger conditions.
In a sense, their own "bright silver" is the same principle, but there are great differences in the form of application.
"What a masterpiece!"
"When you get to eboden, you can see more strange things. Who knows what the Wizards have created in recent months?" the leader of the caravan waved his hand excitedly: "Oh, I really have a bad memory. You must go to eboden for that thing now?"
"For... Something like that?" Lauren pretended to be puzzled.
"Don''t be coy, Lord Loren Turin. This is not new in eboden for a long time - until the next full moon, that is, before the Midsummer Festival, the talented alchemist Alto of the Bellini family will hold a banquet in front of the great library tower. At that time, countless wizards will come to see the handsome face of the genius!"
"Really?"
"Well... In fact, he came to curse him, which is similar to the one who demolished the stage. After all, he beat down half of eboden''s wizards alone, and the rest had already fallen into the soil, ha ha..." the kind-looking chubby middle-aged man laughed loudly.
"However, it is not for academic exchange that Alto Bellini wants to hold this banquet, but to take the opportunity to show off and sell his potion." the leader of the caravan suddenly sighed:
"With this kind of good thing that can cure all diseases, the Bellini family will certainly make a lot of money. Maybe they can get in touch with the church royal family. I''m afraid we have to try to please them at that time. Alas... Who can have such a talented heir and get this medicine by luck!"
The dark haired wizard couldn''t deny smiling, echoed the chubby middle-aged man, and then turned to another topic: "excuse me, how many days are we from eboden?"
"Eboden? In fact, it''s not far." in the dark night under the silver moonlight, the leader of the caravan pointed to a tall tower towering across the road in the distance, on which a faint flame could be seen.
"Do you see the lighthouse - when we get there, we will enter eboden. The road will be much easier. We can go all the way to the city along the paved road!"
As he spoke, the excited middle-aged man looked at Lauren: "are you so worried because a friend is waiting for you?"
"Yes, there is a friend waiting for me." Lauren smiled as if he remembered something
"You can''t let him wait."
