Chapter 25 The Traveler's Guard
After the uncle Tongcoin left, Ling Yu was soon led into a large room by a guard from the caravan to rest and wait for the time to set off in the morning. A series of reception work was carried out very skillfully, and it seemed that they had also received many temporary joiners.
There are already many people in the room. It seems that they are witch hunters or adventurers who temporarily join this caravan. In other words, if you encounter demons or monsters in the wild, you can rush to the front line to fight, and you can't fight... none of them!
For caravans that already have a strong guard team, such configuration has seriously overflowed their combat effectiveness. You should know that in the unspoken rules of team formation, people with combat capabilities do not need to pay "protection fees" to join the caravan, and they can even charge a certain amount of compensation in turn and hire them as caravans.
When many people saw Ling Yu coming in, they showed surprise expressions because he was too young - it seemed that he was just a child at all!
Although a few guys who looked very tough sneered contemptuously, there was no more movement. More than twenty people in the room quickly returned to their original silence - it was the instinct of all experienced witch hunters and adventurers who took the time to rest before important actions.
What's more, this is the territory of the Traveler Caravan, and it's not their turn to let this young man join.
Strictly speaking, the Traveler Caravan has never forced the witchcraft caravan to take a ride. In fact, the default rules of the Traveler Caravan and all other caravans are the same. No matter who is, you can join the caravan and travel together. After joining the caravan, you will naturally get the protection of the caravan; of course, the priority of protection is to rank behind the goods transported by the caravan...
However, even so, the Traveler Caravan is the caravan with the most powerful escort force. Half of the guards are veteran veteran witch hunters retired from the Studio Traveler House, and the other half are newcomers trained by the studio - that is to say, the Traveler House caravan guards play a role similar to the Night Watch New Battalion.
Judging from the overall strength, the combat effectiveness of this guard team is the standard elite level of the top 12-star studio!
Even if the priority of goods is put in front, the safety level of this caravan is reliable enough... in theory.
In fact, ordinary people are somewhat difficult to define the safety factor of the Traveler Caravan. Although the strength of the guard team is overwhelming and can even be said to have overflowed, the possibility of them being in danger is also very high.
Because the Traveler Caravan also shoulders another mission - the studio's regular routine task "patrol along the way".
At present, the main roads between major cities in the kingdom are actually quite safe. As long as you walk along the highway honestly, even ordinary people can basically arrive at the next city safely - of course, whether you have the courage to walk alone is another problem. Now even Lingyao chooses to find a caravan to walk together.
In this world full of demons, it is definitely a miracle that the kingdom can do this level. The reason is that the witch hunting studios stationed in major cities and the patrol teams sent by the army regularly. These troops are specifically responsible for patrolling the highways and surrounding areas, and "cleaning" all hidden dangers.
In the vast area of ten kilometers around the main road, demons or powerful monsters are not allowed to appear. Moreover, along these highways, an inn will be set up every ten kilometers, and guards will be stationed all year round. Assisting these inns to jointly protect the highway is also one of the regular tasks of the alliance's major tasks.
The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Ordinary studios may only need to assist the defensive tasks of the Kingdom soldiers, while those senior studios are responsible for the same regular patrol tasks as the army. This is certainly even more so as the Traveler House, the second star of the Alliance.
Therefore, their caravans will also conduct patrol missions during the business process, "clearing" all threats on both sides of the road along the way.
In this way, we naturally cannot expect this caravan to be honest on the safe highway. We clearly have treasures, but we "rely go to Tiger Mountain" and even specifically take possible dangerous roads, which means using the financial report of the shipped goods as bait...
I can only say that it is worthy of being a wealthy studio, and the confidence and strength it has shown is admirable!
Of course, there is another interpretation in the market. Even if it fails once or twice, the Traveler's House, a big trench, does not care about the wealth lost due to it.
Therefore, although the Traveler Caravan never expressed his rejection, ordinary people rarely choose to join them to take a ride. After all, the possibility of encountering a battle is very high... It should be said that they will inevitably encounter a battle, and the difference is just the number.
On the contrary, those witch hunters and adventurers with considerable strength prefer the Traveler Caravan - not only can they get closer to the Traveler House, but if they are lucky, they can also be attracted by Old Dyke and join their studio! Even if they cannot do so, accumulating combat experience and merits under such relatively safe conditions is a very good benefit!
But Ling Yu didn't care about these things. He didn't care whether he fought or not or whether he was safe. He knew very well that with his own strength, even if there was danger, at least it would be no problem to escape. All he needed was a team that could set off as soon as possible.
At this moment, they seemed to be arranged in a room similar to a canteen. It was not very luxurious, but it was never simple. There was no problem if it was a temporary standby point. Ling Yi casually found a corner without a man, and then closed his eyes and rested like everyone else.
As time goes by, the streets outside gradually became quiet. It was already early in the morning and it was about to dawn. No matter how excited the tourists were, they almost burned out their passion, began to feel tired, and went back to rest.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, and only the breathing of others could be vaguely heard. Although he closed his eyes, Ling Yu's spirit was always alert. For him, the journey of crisis had begun.
Suddenly, Ling Yu's hair stood up all over his body, feeling like he was pressed against his throat by a sharp knife. The left hand holding the handbag quietly exerted force, and the muscles in his body were tense and ready to fight back at any time. Instead of opening his eyes rashly, he focused on his ears and tried to identify potential threats with his hearing.
"Okay, stop pretending!" An impatient voice sounded in my ears. It sounded like an old man, "I'm not old and have a lot of thoughts... But with your reaction speed, I really have to kill you for a long time!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ling Yu's heart was relieved.
"Good morning, Senior Jing." Ling Yu immediately opened his eyes and stood up, slowly relaxing the strength of his hands. However, he moved a few steps quietly and pulled a certain distance from the short old man in front of him.
