Hearing that Roland was going to prepare tents, someone who was a noble but had never been away from home asked back, "Aren't we going to spend the night in a town or a village?"
Roland smiled, Andonara smiled, and even the old Jerry smiled.
Of the six of them, except for Jerry, the others were all young masters or young ladies of noble families who had just come of age.
They had never been out of Delpon, and they didn't have a clear concept of what a long journey was.
Also, this wasn't an era or a world where information and knowledge could be disseminated quickly.
For people living in the information age, even if they had never been far away, they probably knew what a long journey in the wilderness was like.
This was because people living in the information age had all kinds of books everywhere. Just by casually clicking on the Internet, there would be all kinds of information thrown in front of you.
Even if you weren't interested, the information that you accidentally saw in a year or two might be as much as the knowledge that ordinary people in this world could get in touch with in their entire lives.
Of course, it was another matter whether or not you could make full use of the knowledge.
So, if they were people living in the information age, they would probably laugh at someone who asked that question, thinking that those people were stupid.
But in fact, it was just a difference in the amount of information in a different era and a different world.
More importantly, young masters who didn't go out usually didn't need to consider such things.
Seeing the smiles of Roland and the others, the young man who spoke knew that he had said something stupid and scratched his head in embarrassment.
After the laughter, Jerry stepped forward and said, "Chairman, I'll take these little guys to buy tents and some necessary outdoor equipment. As for Miss Vivian … "
"Let Andonara take me to buy them." Vivian held Andonara's hand and smiled sweetly.
Naturally, there would be places where it was inconvenient for a girl to meet a man when she was shopping.
Andonara nodded.
Roland said, "Then I'll wait for you here."
The seven of them left the Guild of Mercenaries, and Roland sat down at an empty table. Then, he lurked in the game forum and watched the show.
This made him look like he was in a daze.
The Guild of Mercenaries was much quieter.
Even though there were a hundred people, they subconsciously lowered their voices, and those who didn't know what was going on lowered their voices too.
Since so many people were doing so, it wasn't a problem to follow suit.
In fact, Roland was a great demon in Delpon right now.
Killing the City Lord and seizing the Queen, no matter which one it was, was a capital offense. However, he was still alive and well, and was living a very carefree life.
Anyone who spent a lot of time in Delpon knew Roland's name. Hawk and Link used to be two big fiends, but unfortunately, they were gone.
The newcomer, Jason, had a bit of a reputation, but he was defeated by Roland a few days ago and left in disgrace. He didn't dare to enter the city even now, so they subconsciously underestimated him.
Roland was in a daze. Those who didn't know him asked their companions or friends who he was and why the atmosphere of the guild had changed.
Then, Roland's name was passed among the newcomers.
There was a table of seven mercenaries whose eyes gradually lit up after listening.
They looked at each other, and one of them, who seemed to be the leader, sat down before Roland and said, "Mr. Mage, may I have a word with you?"
His tone was polite, even courteous, which was different from his rugged appearance.
Hearing the voice, Roland was pulled back from the forum. Looking at the mercenary who looked like a Warrior, he said with a smile, "Please go ahead."
"It seems that you're planning to travel with your students. I don't think you have a destination yet, do you?" The Warrior immediately said, "Sorry, I almost forgot. I'm Glask, a mercenary."
"Then, Mr. Glask, what can I do for you?"
"If you don't have a destination yet, can you escort us to the border? Of course, we'll offer a satisfactory reward. "
Roland found it odd. "You can just issue a quest in the guild. That's what you're planning to do, isn't it? "
"That's true." Glask nodded. He had been talking slowly. "But we believe that a team led by a powerful Mage is much more reliable than other teams."
Roland sized up the mercenary and shook his head after a while. "Sorry, I can't escort you. We're here for an adventure, not to make money. "
"But … escorting us is also an adventure," Glask said in a hurry. "Besides, we'll pay you a lot of money."
Roland shook his head again.
Glask heaved a sigh at Roland's indifference. Then, he went to the counter and issued a quest.
Everybody in the lobby was shocked after the quest was posted, because the escort fee was thirteen gold coins.
It was a rather high amount in the world of mercenaries.
Roland ignored them. He logged into the system and deleted the blue escort quest that just popped up. Then, he continued deleting the forum.
About an hour later, the five male magic apprentices returned. Half an hour later, Andonara and Vivian returned, too.
Roland didn't ask them to check if they were prepared. After all, the preparations were part of the test of the trip.
They left the guild and put the items they bought on the carriages, before they left the city.
Sitting in the front carriage, Roland said to the coachman, "Let's go to Liguburg City."
Jerry had checked in the Guild just now, and there were no quests about magic or magic accidents nearby. So, Roland planned to visit the branch of the Association of Mages in Liguburg City.
They would help each other.
The carriage left the city of Delpon and wobbled along the yellow dirt road.
At first, the magic apprentices were quite excited and chattered nonstop in their carriages.
But very soon, they all grew bored.
They all stopped talking.
After another three hours, many people's buttocks were aching. Then, Roland looked at the sun in the sky and said, "We'll stop in a shady place and have something to eat."
Very soon, the coachman stopped and led the team to a wood.
Roland jumped off the carriage first. He released his mental power and scanned the wood, before he retracted it. The whole process took no more than ten seconds.
Then, the other magic apprentices jumped off the carriage too. Two of them ran to the wood in a hurry, as if they were going to relieve themselves.
Roland watched them go in, then turned around and said to Andonara, "Later, teach them how to ensure their safety in the rest area when they're out. You can be stricter with your methods and words."
Andonara smiled like a bright sun. "I'll teach them well."
