I noticed Du En from the moment he walked in, not because of Du En's appearance, but because of his strength.

As an orc, his intuition about danger is very keen. Because he sensed the threat coming from Duen, Wilkin paid attention to Duen.

Now it seems that his intuition did not lie to him.

"Then I will issue the entrustment. Over there is my lady, who is the employer of your entrustment this time and is also the person in charge of our caravan."

Wilkin pointed his sharp finger at the girl in the corner and let out a hearty laugh.

"Don't look down on her just because she is young. In just one year, she became the head of the caravan of the Zhongdian Chamber of Commerce, a famous chamber of commerce in the city-state of Kalalaki."

As a well-known chamber of commerce in the city-state of Karalaki, a city known for free trade, even its chambers of commerce are quite famous.

If she only joined the Chamber of Commerce a year ago and became the leader of a caravan in just one year, then the girl's talent in business can be considered very outstanding.

However, this is not what Du En cares about. He doesn't even know where the Kalalaki city-state is. Wilkin's method of flattering his young lady has no effect at all on Du En.

All Dun noticed was one thing.

"Oh, my employer is actually a cute girl, Luckily!"

Seeing the purple-haired girl sitting in the corner, Du En's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to get closer.

"Little sister, are you my employer? I am a swordsman from a distant country. My name is Miyamoto Musashi. I am currently traveling around to exercise my will."

"I have spent all my savings when I arrived in your place, so after asking about where to make money faster, I came here to see if there is any suitable job for me. I am willing to hire me, a new mercenary with no reputation. It is really great.

Thanks.”

This is the rhetoric that Du En has already prepared. There seems to be no means of confirming identity in this world. Du En can basically get away with it by just talking nonsense about the past.

"The swordsmen of the distant country? Are they from the Flakian Empire in the south, or the Holy Kingdom of Gustia in the north?"

She has soft long lavender hair, a childish appearance, and is wearing a white dress and a white needlepoint hat.

After hearing Du En's words, the girl took a careful look at Du En, who was wearing exotic clothes, and thought about it secretly, but her face didn't show anything strange.

Not daunted by Du En's enthusiasm, the girl politely introduced herself.

"I am the leader of this caravan, Anastasia, you can also call me Anna."

"Anna?"

"Is there a problem?"

Hearing the girl's doubts, Du En shook his head.

"No, I just thought of a friend. Her name is also Anna."

Looking at the purple-haired girl in front of him, a smile appeared on Du En's lips, and his hand unconsciously reached out and touched the girl's head.

"Thank you."

If Anna hadn't lent him her power, he would have died at the hands of a wolf-level monster. How could he be traveling in different worlds like he is now?

Knowing that Du En only thought of herself as someone else, Anastasia was not angry because of his rashness, but instead said in a joking tone.

"Since we are acquaintances, can the escort fee be less? Let's treat it as a friendship price."

"No, even brothers have to settle accounts. This is the only thing that will never work."

"Wow, big sister, you are so heartless."

The word "big sister" made Du En's body stiffen, and his heart roared with grief and anger.

It’s been a day, why haven’t you changed back yet?

His mood became a little depressed, and after chatting with Anastasia for a few words, he signed an employment contract with her.

After receiving the deposit of two gold coins paid in advance, Dun, led by Wilkin, went to the caravan station of the Zhongdian Chamber of Commerce where Anastasia was located.

Of course, how could a large caravan consisting of more than a dozen dragon carriages be guarded by only two people, Du En and Wilkin? There were also many guards accompanying the caravan. Later, after hiring several ordinary mercenaries, the caravan was

Embarked on the journey.

I learned from Wilkin that compared to hiring individual mercenaries, hiring a mercenary group is actually safer, but hiring a mercenary group is much more expensive than hiring ordinary mercenaries. It’s not that you can’t afford the price, it’s just that

As a result, the profits gained by the caravan were too low.

Therefore, the entire caravan's defense force is composed of ten caravan guards, one senior mercenary, five ordinary mercenaries, and one new mercenary.

This kind of defensive force is not too strong compared to a medium-sized caravan consisting of more than a dozen dragon chariots, but it is not weak either.

There are a large number of thieves in the wilderness outside the royal city. Even though the royal capital has sent troops to encircle and suppress them many times, they have still not been eradicated.

Coupled with the raging raging of the Witch Cult, ordinary caravans would simply not dare to conduct cross-border trade without hiring mercenaries.

Even Anastasia's caravan, where Dun is located, must be together with other caravans before they dare to move between the royal capital of Lugnika and the free trade city of Kalaraki, which would require riding a dragon chariot.

It takes a month to reach the distance.

As a fantasy world, earth dragons can be said to be a specialty of this world, completely replacing the role of horses on earth.

Earth dragons not only have extremely high intelligence, but also have higher endurance and strength than ordinary horses. Not only do they pull carts, Lugnica also has a knighthood composed of earth dragons.

Although the word "dragon" is in their names, in Du En's opinion, the dragon blood in these earth dragons is so thin that it can be ignored.

Of course, no matter how thin the dragon blood in the body is, it cannot be compared to ordinary horses, so dragon carts have always been the favorite means of transportation for businessmen.

What made Du En a little speechless was that, thanks to the protection of animal conversation, he actually heard the whispers of the earth dragons. For example, a strong earth dragon with a body length of two meters asked "How is the food today?"

", an old-looking earth dragon said with emotion "the weather is really nice today", and a young earth dragon kept showing love to a female earth dragon at the forefront of the caravan center, exuding the breath of spring.

Logically speaking, Du En did not take the initiative to use the protection, so he should not be able to hear the sounds of the animals. However, because the earth dragons' minds are more active, and Du En's "Animal Conversation" protection has reached the full level, even if he did not take the initiative,

By using it, you can also understand the words of these active-thinking earth dragons.

"Ophelia, I'm begging you this time too."

Gently stroking the head of the earth dragon at the forefront of the caravan, Anastasia said softly, the surrounding merchants also began to reward their own earth dragons. This is also a kind of superstition, believing that the earth dragons who are dragon descendants

Can bring them good luck.

However, in this fantasy world where "protection" exists, this kind of prayer will have some effect.

"Miss Musashi, do you have a mount?"

When he saw Wilkin appearing in front of him carrying a giant sword and riding a huge liger, Du En discovered something very embarrassing.

Not to mention riding an earth dragon, he can't even ride a horse, and Musashi doesn't have the riding skill among his class skills.

"In that case, big sister, how about you and I ride in the same dragon carriage?"

"Thank you very much."

After grabbing Anastasia's life-saving straw, Du En didn't want others to have transportation tools, but he had to use two legs to run.

Although Du En was confident that he could run faster with two legs than the four legs of these mounts, why would he still rely on his own two legs when he had a means of transportation?

"Please take good care of me in the next month, Ophelia."

After touching the head of the earth dragon named Opheliad, he quickly became involved with it, which surprised Anastasia and Wilkin.

"Miss, how long did it take you to get Ophelia's approval?"

"About a month. Does Ms. Musashi have any protection that can help her establish a good relationship with the earth dragons?"

"Ha, who knows, it would be great if she could stay."

Wilkin scratched his head. After all, he was an orc and was not suitable to appear on many occasions. It would be much more convenient if Duen, a warrior, followed him.

"Let's not mention this matter for now. Uncle, didn't you say you were going to prepare a mercenary group before? How are you doing with the preparations?"

"this……"

"Is there no progress yet?"

"It's so noisy. How can it be so simple to prepare a mercenary group? It's not like before."

"Uncle, I invested a lot of money to get into it. If there are no results yet, then I might as well give up."

"I know, just wait. Really, where did that clingy little girl from before go?"

"Uncle, what are you muttering about?"

"Nothing at all."

…

Listening to the conversation of the two people, there are two figures, one big and one small, just like a father and a daughter.

Du En smiled, suddenly looking forward to the next journey.
