Senior adventurers always did things swiftly and decisively. In less than half an hour, a carriage and three horses set off from the east gate of the Golden Tower City, heading southeast along the road.
Ray, Steele, and Liv were riding on the horses. Madame Teague and little Nice were sitting in the carriage. As for the coachman, he was one of the debt-free boys and girls, named Rank.
Among this group of boys and girls, there were only a few who were really good at martial arts. Naturally, Zesheng was the strongest. But considering that if he was not there, this group of boys and girls would lose their backbone. He was afraid that before everyone found clues to find out the truth, they would be swallowed by the Church of the God of Aristocracy. Therefore, not only he had to stay, but also several other people who were good at martial arts.
Rank was the merchant's youngest son. Unlike his elder brother, who had received merchant education since childhood, he had always admired the graceful bearing of knights. He had been following Knight Parne to learn horsemanship, swordsmanship, spear skills, and archery, which were necessary for a knight. However, he really lacked talent. After learning for five or six years, until now, he could barely be regarded as a rookie. His swordsmanship, spear skills, and archery were all not outstanding. The only decent skill was horsemanship.
Unlike his poor knighthood, his talent as a businessman was good. Whether it was accounting, negotiation, or appraisal, he had a certain level. What was especially rare was that he was very good at driving. Even Liv, who was recognized as a good horsemanship, had to concede defeat his driving skills.
His brother was very good and had worked hard to pay off the debt. But he had been taking risks with everyone, working hard together, and wanted to do more for everyone. Today, when they went to pay off the debt, he also volunteered to negotiate with the Church of the God of Aristocracy. After some bargaining, they really cut a lot of interest and saved a lot of money for everyone.
After this period of hardship, these young people had understood the importance of money. Everyone was very happy to be able to save a sum of money. They also bought some wine and food, and were going to Liv's house to have a small party to celebrate finally saying goodbye to the damn debt. After learning the news, everyone discussed, or rather, after some arguments, and finally, Rank persuaded everyone to embark on the journey together.
It was undeniable that his driving skills were indeed very good. The two horses were almost running side by side, at almost the same speed, and running very smoothly. Sitting in the carriage, there was only a slight tremor and shaking, not a jolt at all.
This was also thanks to the large number of mages in the Mifata Federation. Because there were enough mages, the roads between the cities and towns in the Mifata Federation were very smooth and smooth. It was built like this: First, tamp the soil on the ground, then cover the tamped soil with gravel, then mix it with clay and tamp it together to form a roadbed. Then, on top of the roadbed, he used hard stones created by magic to make a slightly curved gravel road. At first glance, it was quite similar to the stone pavement of some ancient cities on Earth. But please note that this was not the pavement of a city. It was the main road that connected all the cities in a country!
In the entire mortal plane, only the "Mage Country" was capable of completing such a massive project. The reason was quite simple. They had a sufficient number of mid-level and low-level mages who were capable of casting spells and shaping the gigantic rocks into suitable shapes, saving a great deal of manpower.
In fact, according to the rules of the Mifata Federation, if a mage wanted to build his own magic tower, he had to make sure that it had at least one standard road that could be connected to the road system of the whole country. Also, he had to be responsible for maintaining the roads within a certain range around his magic tower to ensure that they were not damaged.
With such an amazing investment, the smooth transportation in this country could be said to be unparalleled in the world.
Well, the premise was that there were countless demons that could not be killed completely.
When it was getting dark, they found an open space to rest temporarily. Ray said, "I will clean up the surroundings," and then, with a spear and a sword in his hand, he went into the nearby woods.
When the tent was set up, the bonfire was lit, the flour and wheat were cooked into porridge, and the dried meat was turned into broth. When the delicious smell filled the air above the campsite, Ray came back with blood all over his body. He was holding a special thick rope in his hand, and on the rope was a monster that was tied up. The monster was listlessly following behind him, like a cow or a sheep being led back.
This monster was somewhat similar to an ape, but its furry face was full of flesh, and it was far more ferocious than an ordinary ape. Its sharp fangs and claws proved that it was definitely not a kind creature. Moreover, its burly physique, which made ordinary wild bears bow down to it, proved its strength even more.
The most terrible thing was that when it breathed, there were tiny sparks coming out of its mouth, and there was also a faint smell of sulfur. Liv and Ranke, who were two inexperienced novices, could not understand the smell, but Madame Teague knew where it came from the moment she smelled the sulfur.
"A Purgatory Ferocious Ape? No, it is a Purgatory Ferocious Ape! It is not easy to deal with it, and I did not expect that you could catch it alive, "she said with a smile." Mr. Ray, you are really a powerful knight! "
Ray smiled, put down the rope, and let the Ferocious Ape, which was tied up like a rice dumpling, squatted on the side, and said, "You flatter me. This guy is actually not very strong, but it is a little troublesome to catch it without hurting it too much."
Liv and Ranke were stunned. Their small adventurer group had also encountered a Purgatory Ferocious Beast. At that time, they encountered a Ferocious Wolf that showed signs of Purgatory Ferocious Beast, and four ordinary Ferocious Wolves, forming a wolf pack. It was a thrilling fight, and if a group of experienced adventurers hadn't happened to pass by and lend them a hand, several of them would have died.
As everyone knew, among all kinds of animals, the Giant Ape was particularly powerful. A Purgatory Ferocious Ape would probably need a group of experienced adventurers to fight it steadily. Once a novice adventurer group like them encountered it, most of them would be wiped out.
And as far as they knew, Ape Thunder Monsters liked to form gangs like wolves, and they often moved in groups of three or five. Looking at the blood stains on Ray's body, they were afraid that he had killed an entire group of beasts. And he had actually caught a terrifying and powerful Beast King alive. His strength was incredible!
"Sir … Sir, why did you catch it?" Ranke came to himself and asked curiously, "Does it have any special value?"
"There is no special value, I just caught it to keep watch at night," Ray said lightly. "This kind of ape-like monster has high intelligence, so it's relatively easy to tame. I have beaten this guy, and from today on, it will keep watch for us at night. "
Catching a Beast King to keep watch at night?! This time, not to mention Liv and Ranke, even Madame Teague was shocked.
"Is it really all right? It won't attack us while we are sleeping, right? "Liv asked worriedly.
"No, it is not stupid." Ray smiled and walked in front of the Giant Ape, patted its head, and said, "Don't you think so?"
The Giant Ape, who was already depressed, became even more obedient after Ray approached it. It trembled and squatted on the ground, not daring to move. Like a tamed wolf dog, it obediently let Ray pat its head, and did not even make a sound.
"You see, it is quite sensible."
This scene left everyone speechless. They didn't know how Ray had managed to "beat" this ferocious magical beast into submission.
"What? Didn't we take turns to keep watch at night? " Steele, who was coming out of the tent, saw this scene, and asked curiously, "Are you going to go out at night?"
Ray nodded, "Yes, when we arrive at Cloud Pagoda City, it is very likely that there will be a fierce battle. I have to tame that disobedient guy as soon as possible. I can't waste any more time with it. "
"You are right, you have wasted too much time with that guy," Steele agreed. Steele agreed. "In my opinion, it would be better to catch something else and tame it. For example, this monkey would be a good choice. At least it is very smart, and it knows that it can't win, so it should be obedient. "
"Don't joke, there is no knight riding a monkey!" Ray shook his head, smiled, and walked to the side. With a wave of his hand, he released the Copper-Crowned Flying Dragon from the special space bag that was specially used to imprison monsters.
This Copper-Crowned Flying Dragon was worthy of being the overlord of this area. Even though it had been imprisoned and tortured for a long time, it was still ferocious. As soon as it came out, it shook its head and tail, let out a wild roar, and opened its bloody mouth, trying to bite Ray to death.
What welcomed it was a fist that looked ordinary at first glance, but possessed unimaginable power. Just one punch was enough to knock it down. It rolled a few times on the ground until it hit a big tree. Only then did it stop.
"You idiot, can't you learn to be a little more obedient?" Ray muttered helplessly, walked over and grabbed the tail of the Copper-Crowned Flying Dragon, and dragged this fierce monster into the forest.
He walked a few steps, stopped, and punched the struggling Flying Dragon, who was trying to bite him. Then he told the Giant Ape, who was squatting there, "Keep watch tonight, don't make any trouble, or you will eat the Purgatory Monkey's brain tomorrow morning!"
The huge ape was startled when it saw the Copper Crown Wyvern, and its fur stood on end. Apes were a delicacy on the Wyvern's menu, and even if the ape was stronger than the average ape, the Copper Crown Wyvern was also stronger than the average Wyvern. If the ape and the Copper Crown Wyvern were to encounter each other in the wild, the Copper Crown Wyvern would not be able to escape the fate of being its food.
However, such a terrifying wyvern that could feed on it was powerless in front of the human, who was not very big in size. It was beaten like a sandbag. This reminded it of the scene during the day. At that time, it led its tribe to attack that human, but in the blink of an eye, the whole tribe was destroyed, and it was also knocked unconscious. When it woke up, it was already in prison, and had become a prisoner.
Now that it thought about it, it realized that the human had been merciful.
And the reason why it was able to keep its life was probably not because it wanted to tame it, but because it wanted to find a watchdog.
The intelligent Magical Beast, who was originally a little indignant and wanted to find a chance to escape or do something, sighed deeply, and its furry face showed a look of frustration and helplessness.
This time, it really gave up, and decided to honestly become a watchdog.
The glory of the King of Beasts? The nature of Magical Beasts?
Survival was the most important thing!
