Ryan's Sword

Chapter 19 No.18 Departure
On this day, Keir got up very early.

After enjoying the chef's elaborate breakfast in the room, Keir, accompanied by his deputy Victor, inspected the preparations of the caravan.

The caravan with a total of more than 200 people was operating in an orderly manner under the supervision of Keyle. The men loaded the goods into the carriage, and the captain of the guard woke up the sleeping adventurer guards one by one. Victor worked with the owner of the stone beetle inn. A clearing.After working until dawn, all members of the Golden Oak Leaf Firm finally assembled, and they set off in the smiling farewell of the innkeeper, all the way to the east gate of Robe Town.

Carriages loaded with goods lined up one after another on the main road leading to the east gate of Robe Town. The neighing of "Xilulu"'s horses attracted the townspeople and passers-by who got up early to stop and watch.The members of the Golden Oak Leaf Caravan and the temporary guards stood in their positions one by one according to Victor's prior arrangement.Although the entire caravan was spread out quite a lot, it didn't look bloated.In addition to being attributed to the command ability of the arranger, this orderly scene is also a quality level that can only be achieved by Ryan's few large firms.

However, even so, this huge caravan rarely seen in the southern region still frightened the guards at the east gate—especially in the past two days, the nobles of this town have just been assassinated, and it is they who belong to the consul The moment when the guard's nerves are most tense.

The mayor has almost ordered martial law in the whole town. With so many people in your caravan, are you going to leave at this time?

The night guards who were facing the enemy immediately notified the city guards of the situation.As a result, the deputy commander in charge of patrol affairs of the military at this time glanced at the number of people in the Golden Oak Leaf caravan, and also did not dare to decide to let the caravan travel without permission.The two sides struggled for a long time and failed to reach a consensus. Even Victor, who was always good-tempered, argued with the uncompromising deputy commander until his face turned red and his neck was thick!

After all, the east gate of Rob Township is the main traffic artery of the town. The farce at the east gate has attracted more and more attention. The temporarily recruited adventurer guards are not too troublesome, and the earth makes all kinds of booing.Seeing that, the order on the scene gradually began to collapse, and it is not impossible to even turn into a conflict!

It wasn't until the sleeping mayor arrived after hearing the news that he tried his best to defy all opinions and ease the situation that was developing towards chaos.The mayor, who casually draped a coat over his pajamas, explained to the deputy commander of the city guard that the Golden Oak Leaf Company's itinerary had already been reported to him, and that leaving at this time had nothing to do with the assassination of the Dewey family.The mayor, who has received a lot of benefits from Keir, also spared no effort to guarantee that this caravan will be absolutely fine!
After two hours of tossing like this, the blocked caravan was able to start again.It is worth mentioning that, as a temporary guard, Ian was actually assigned to the front of the team, and together with one of the guard captains of the firm, guarded the carriage where Keyer was on the left and right.At the same time, Victor also selected a rather handsome black horse from among the caravan's horses for Ian to ride on. This was a unique treatment among all the temporary guards!

Ian knew that this was a signal of trust and kindness from the pudgy young man, but his focus was not on this.After all, for the work of guarding, even if Victor does not arrange it this way, he will do his best to fulfill his duties-the existence of the employment contract makes Ian's mission log a record of this employment, and in the end it will be up to the employer's Filling satisfaction will also become one of the important criteria for the guild to judge the completion of tasks.

For adventurers, the mission log is a lifelong resume, and any adventurer who is interested in going further will not want any stains on it.

When Victor handed over the reins of the black horse as a gesture of kindness, Ian's first reaction was to issue an instruction in his heart to open his skill list.Fortunately, he successfully found the words "Riding (E) Lv3 (Introduction)" in the "Skills" column.This basic riding skill comes from the training of the predecessor of this body when he was young. Although he chose the path of a warrior, he still carefully completed all the courses of the nobles themselves-in the circle of the nobles of Ryan, there are many Most of the guys who are addicted to pleasure have never even touched a horse in their whole life. Although this is not unrelated to the long-term peace and stability in the Ryan Empire, there are actually many corrupt nobles who have forgotten the glory of their ancestors to open up the territory.

"Fortunately, I almost made a fool of myself."

Ian was really relieved by his self-contained riding skills. After all, the profession of warriors spends most of their time on their own legs, and fighting on horseback is not something they are good at.There are specializations in the art industry. Although soldiers are panacea on the battlefield and the most low-level cannon fodder, they are not real decathlons after all.Otherwise, there is no need for other professions such as knights, archers, etc. to continue to exist.

Not long after leaving Rob Town, the caravan encountered a new problem.

The official roads between the small and medium-sized towns in the south have long been in disrepair, and the local nobles and consuls have pushed each other, making these strategic arteries that should have been kept open often disconnected and destroyed.

Right now, the official road in front of the caravan has evolved from a flat stone road to a dirt road with potholes. Even the signs at the fork in front of the road have become blurred due to rain erosion.

"This……"

This is not good!

Looking back, forth, left, and right at the wooden sign, Victor couldn't help but feel troubled.There was a layer of sweat on his chubby face, and he turned to Kyle's carriage with a sad face, preparing to report this problem to him. After all, only he had an accurate map of the magic sand table.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Victor."

"Ah, Mr. Ian, what advice do you have? Please tell me..."

Victor, who was about to report such a trivial matter and would be scolded, was stopped by Ian, and he couldn't help but look at the young man sitting on the horse with a puzzled expression on his face.

"As far as I know, the destination of the caravan this time is Louisburg, right?"

"Ah, yes, that's right!"

"Then just choose the east-by-north road on the left," Ian said with a serious look on his immature face, and at the same time said to him in a convincing tone: "The road on the right leads to the It is another small town called Shining Gold Town built near Yilan Forest, although you can also go to Lewisburg, but the journey is far away." After a pause, Ian added: "If you are not sure, You can go to the back and ask those local adventurers, they often travel to and from these towns, I think they should be able to help you make a judgment."

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Ian! You have helped me a lot!" Victor's chubby face stretched out, and he kept thanking Ian.Ian's reminder not only woke him up, but also spared him at least one round of scolding, which made him very grateful.

In desperation, the pudgy boy only wanted to let Lord Keyer make up his mind, but he didn't consider the temporary guards formed by those adventurers who were local snakes.

Although he knew that Ian had no reason to deceive himself on this issue, just to be on the safe side, Victor went to the rear team and asked a few local adventurers. After getting the same statement as Ian, he trotted back and asked Ian thanked him, and then led the caravan to the official road on the left.

What Ian gave Victor was the information marked on his mini-map. In fact, the mini-map carried by the player is as accurate as, or even better than, the most advanced magic sand table map on the main road.After all, players often use coordinates to transmit information to each other. If there is a deviation in this, the complaint letter received by the light blue development team is enough to prevent them from doing other work.

After this reciprocation, Victor felt more and more that he had made a wise decision.He even wanted to retain Ian for Mr. Keyle and let him become an official guard member of the chamber of commerce.After all, when the terms young, humble, witty, and powerful are combined, everyone knows that this is a talent with limitless future.Although Victor's idea is impulsive, he is also thinking about it for the chamber of commerce.

It's a pity that at the moment Keyle just wants to finish the trip safely, and as for his suggestion, I'm afraid he doesn't have much interest.

The direction of progress was clarified, and the caravan's itinerary gradually accelerated.In one day, the caravan traveled more than [-] miles, and there were no thieves or any other prying eyes along the way.At dusk, Victor, who had received Keir's order, trotted to send an order to all the caravan members, announcing that they would set up camp and rest. At this moment, he was slightly relieved.

Going on at this speed, in about five days, you should be able to reach Lewisburg!

Victor thought so.

Compared to the dry lunch at noon, which was hurriedly settled with cold water on the way, the dinner of the caravan made the eyes of the hungry adventurer guards shine.Those recruited by the firm are all veterans who have experienced outdoor adventures. They know how hard it is to walk in the wild. During a long journey, the sweat-soaked underwear under the armor alone is enough to cause a lot of discomfort. And the insects and potential beasts that can be seen everywhere in the wild are enough to threaten the existence of life!

These adventurers in the southern lands have already made corresponding psychological preparations for this escort work.However, they never expected that the rich and powerful Golden Oak Leaf Firm would bring along a chef from the imperial capital!
This is still a caravan trip, this is clearly a tour...

The adventurers naturally had difficulty imagining what the life of the big man would be like, but when the camping work was nearly half completed, the continuous bursts of strong fragrance had irresistibly whetted everyone's appetite!I can almost imagine with my eyes closed that those tumbling side by side in the big iron pot near the center of the camp must be rotten fat meat and fragrant thick soup!
This time, the movements under the guards of all the adventurers participating in the camp accelerated without urging. After all, it is a great happiness to be able to enjoy a meal of this level in the wild!
