It was Mr. Black And White's carriage.
Not only was it fast, but its concealment was also excellent. It could even "fly temporarily" under special circumstances. The carriage also provided high anti-magic properties and various external illusions.
The horse used to pull the carriage was not a product of steam, but the Horse of Fate, Midnight, that Mr. Black And White had purchased from the Destiny Realm with a high amount of points and special coins.
The carriage was handmade by the best stitchers in the Holy City using epic-level materials.
Every inch of leather was a master-level masterpiece. In addition to its external functions, the comfort of riding it was also unparalleled.
In terms of level, it could not be compared to the carriages of ordinary knights.
As a result, the following journey was slightly awkward.
As the highest-level carriage, the "Silver Edge" was supposed to lead the way. However, in terms of speed, safety, and detection, Mr. Black And White's carriage had the upper hand.
At this moment.
Han Dong poked his head out and suggested, "Last year, as subordinates, we followed Senior Lucius out of the city to assist in the investigation of the blood plague in the Aragad Mountains … We have some experience.
Let us lead the way. The carriage provided by our teacher is excellent in concealment and detection, and can avoid unnecessary dangers on the journey. "
Lucius's side naturally had no problem.
In their eyes, Han Dong was the person who single-handedly defeated Count and was the great lord outside the city.
After a while of discussion, the "Silver Edge" also gave instructions in agreement.
The distance between the carriages was set at 200m to 500m (depending on the actual terrain and situation). If the carriages were too close, it would cause loud noises and increase the probability of being attacked by creatures outside the city.
If the carriages were too scattered, once they encountered an "overlapping space" or some spatial interference area outside the city, it would cause the team to be completely separated.
That was it.
"Raven's Language" was the first.
"Silver Edge" was the middle.
"Bright Red Oath" was the last.
After the city gate guards conducted a strict examination of the investigation documents and the identities of the members, the auxiliary passage at the bottom of the city gate for carriages to pass through opened.
The three carriages sped out.
Han Dong also controlled Midnight's running speed to be 100 km/h so that the two teams behind could keep up.
No matter how bumpy the forest road was, the inside of the carriage was as smooth as silk.
Mia used gauze to filter the herbal grinding liquid and permeated it into a portable test tube that could be directly drunk or injected.
He stared at Han Dong with a strange look in his eyes.
She made an angry expression as if her man had spent the night with another woman last night.
"Mr. Black And White left?" When Han Dong mentioned his teacher's situation, Abel's face was filled with confusion.
"Hmm … He's been gone for two days. I can't contact him either."
"Mr Black And White is a prophet with a special position in the Sacred City. The construction of the [Astrology Room] cost the Sacred City a lot of resources, and it was built so that Mr Black And White could maximize the effectiveness of his astrology ability.
Mr Black And White doesn't even need to participate in all kinds of important meetings. He can participate in them through the long-distance projection of the [Astrology Room].
I heard my grandfather mention that the [Astrology Room] seemed to be set up with the intention of grounding Mr Black And White. I don't know the specific reason … I rarely hear of him leaving. "
"It's a bit strange. Maybe it's because of the 'Great Expedition'."
Han Dong still remembered that when he had just returned from the Destiny Realm and asked Mr Black And White about the Great Expedition, Mr Black And White's attitude was very firm and directly said that he would not participate in it.
"The things that teacher has done behind the scenes may be much more than what we have done." "…"
While the carriage was moving quickly in the forest.
Because of the special smell emitted by the crow carriage, some of the patrolling crowmen nearby were attracted.
Caw Caw ~
They all squatted on branches dozens of meters away and called out to greet their lord.
When these crowmen tried to escort their lord, they were immediately driven away by Han Dong to avoid any suspicion from the "Silver Edge" that was tailing them.
Han Dong also tried to get information about the 'Port of Ostia' from the crowmen.
However, the port was quite a distance away from the border of the Gane Forest, so the crowmen who were only active in the forest did not know about it.
In the end, they stopped twice on the road.
They went around a forest lake area that was emitting a strange smell.
After killing a group of antlers that blocked their way,
After about four hours, they finally left the western border of the Gane Forest and came to a cement road that was eroded by the forest.
The open cement road that was once used by humans to travel between cities and trade caravans more than two hundred years ago was now cracked on a large scale. The cracks of the cement road were filled with sucker plants that had spread out from the Gaines Forest.
There were blooming flowers,
There were blotchy mushrooms with suckers in the center,
There were thread-like plants that wriggled like living things,
There were roots that were full of suckers and looked like tentacles of an octopus,
It was a very 'beautiful' scene.
At the same time, Han Dong found an old road sign by the side of the road that he could barely make out the words: Ostia - 20km.
Since the rest of the journey was not covered by the forest.
Considering the potential danger of the port, after some discussion, they decided to walk to the port.
The carriages were left at the 'safe point' in the Gane Forest.
The knights who carried out the investigation mission would record the distribution of monsters (density of demons) along the route and bring it back to the Holy City in exchange for some rewards.
The knights' headquarters would also use the information to draw a 'sub-safe zone map' within the area of 100km and mark the safe points with the least density of monsters on the map for the knights to reorganize or park the carriages.
As the three carriages were parked in the same area.
Mr Black And White's [Midnight] let out a roar and a powerful aura spread out.
Even if there was a newborn mantis demon, it would be repelled by the ghostly aura of Midnight.
In this way, the safety of the carriages was guaranteed.
All the members were equipped with the basic equipment of an 'investigator': goggles, earplugs, insulating rubber magic gloves, cloak that could hide their aura, and high-top leather shoes with excellent waterproof properties.
Generally speaking.
The knights who went out of the city for investigation would all dress like this in a low-key manner. They would not show their big swords or shiny knight breastplates as soon as they arrived.
Low-key investigation and high-profile handling.
When the three teams were approaching the port at a slightly faster speed.
Han Dong suddenly stopped in his tracks and waved his hand, signaling everyone to find the nearest cover and take cover.
His unique perception field had already captured the abnormal movement 500 meters away.
After about ten seconds, Captain Diaz of the Silver Edge also sensed something.
Diaz could not help but be shocked. He turned around and looked at Han Dong who was hiding on a tree branch.
In terms of scouting ability, Han Dong was without a doubt the most powerful member of the team. However, it was reasonable for a mysterious apprentice to be excellent in detection.
Five minutes later.
A strange scene came into view.
The person who was walking slowly along the road was not a demon or a heretic.
It was a middle-aged man who was wearing a sweatshirt and jeans. He looked simple and plain.
His strong and powerful arms were transporting a large amount of 'seafood' through a handcart. It seemed like he was going to transport it somewhere.
Upon closer inspection, some of the features of the man were different.
For example, the gill-like structure under his cheekbones …
