Chapter 608 (1/2)

Under the stars at midnight, a strange caravan stopped their steps in a wilderness on the road to red blood castle, and set up a silent camp to spend the moonless night.

Although Byrne in the south is already one of the richest territories of the Empire, there are still a large number of thieves and monsters mutating in the wilderness and dense forest. It is almost suicide to travel at night; Even in the most prosperous red blood castle, not every section of the road has large and small hotels for pedestrians to rest and stay, and occasionally they can only sleep in the wilderness.

It's just... There are too many of them.

Around the brightly lit camp, fully armed and silent wandering knights can be seen everywhere. The loose but very orderly formation is enough to prove that each of them is an elite.

In the wilderness outside the camp, there are also pairs of eyes lurking in the dark as scouts to ensure that the camp can detect accidents around.

Of course, such a heavily guarded guard could not be an ordinary mercenary, but was hired by the yode chamber of commerce at a high price. It was the famous wandering knights in the south of the Empire - Silver blood.

In Byrne, he became a wandering knight who ran around in the wilderness and traveled far to various countries and even overseas. He was the first choice for many second sons and concubines who did not need to inherit their family property... They often stayed away from their hometown, looked for the world not marked on the map, and earned meager ”blood money” with their sword.

When a wandering Knight travels abroad for four or five years, he often becomes the object of solicitation by Lord Bain - especially the organized knight regiment, which often becomes the main force of the Legion under the knight lords during the war.

”... so how did you get hired by the Joad chamber of Commerce?”

By the campfire, Sheryl leitlanch, the leader of silver blood, looked at the dusty, soup bowl like a curious baby, blinking and pulling around, and the teenager who claimed that ”my name is Asriel, Asriel from lottel” sighed tired.

”This is the tenth problem. I knew you were a little talker. I wouldn't save you when I passed that forest.”

The owner of the voice is a tall and indifferent female knight. Her upright and soft facial features can also see the traces of weather beaten. A huge two handed sword is always carried on her right shoulder.

”Well... That's true. A lonely, innocent and lovely boy like me will come to no good end in that kind of forest?” Asriel shrugged and his scarlet eyes glittered with cunning luster:

”But who let the big sister of Gao Leng's sherrell have a kind heart... Since you saved me, I have to let me know who the benefactor is, otherwise who should poor asrell recruit to repay her kindness in the future?”

”You'd better consider how to return to your hometown lottel first...”

Shirrell glanced at the boy he had saved in the forest before and sighed gently... Although he looked a little dusty, both his expression and posture, as well as his obviously expensive little dress, were enough to prove that the other party was indeed an aristocrat.

Although it is not the time to save people because of the particularity of this task, shirrell hesitated and decided to take the boy with him... Of course, it is not because of his identity, but he can't turn a blind eye to a child living in the wilderness.

Although this talkative and familiar teenager has been unwilling to say why he appeared alone in Bain, shirrell is not completely unable to understand... The smarter the child is, the stronger the inner guard is, and coercion will only backfire.

So the female leader sighed: ”because the price offered by yode chamber of commerce is high enough, the salary of a task can let us not worry about expenses for half a year - this money 'silver blood' is very important.”

”Really... If they are willing to charge such a high price, the goods escorted must be very valuable?”

”That's not the question we should ask, 'silver blood' is only responsible for the task, and the rest don't ask... This is professional ethics.”

”Alas... I didn't expect to be a big sister who is good at officialdom. It's so boring.”

”You have too many problems, little chatter.”

”After making a fortune in my hometown, where is the big sister going?”

”... how did you jump from the last question to this one?”

The female leader sitting beside the campfire chatted with the boy without a word. Her eyes never left the dark wilderness outside the camp. The quiet midnight seemed to be within reach of the stars in the dome.

The caravan will arrive at red blood castle before noon tomorrow, so tonight... Someone will raid the caravan tonight.

However, it is a tradition of ”silver blood” to ask employers, but it does not mean that they are rigid fools - just a caravan, and the yode chamber of commerce is willing to hire them to escort at a high price, which proves that they believe that they will be robbed!

But two days have passed, today is the third day, and it is midnight... There is still no sign of shirrell's ”long-awaited” enemy.

Is it really just that I worry too much... The female leader frowned slightly and subconsciously clenched the handle of the big sword behind her.
