Late at night, there were a few drunk people lying on the ground in the camp. Ren Xiaosu leaned against the wheel of the carriage and pretended to sleep.
At this time, no one was moving. Ren Xiaosu opened his eyes slightly and observed everyone. He then took note of all the drunk people.
If this caravan was really made up of many soldiers from the Berkley family, then it was impossible for a soldier to get drunk during a mission.
Therefore, these drunk people could be excluded first.
However, after this round of observation, Ren Xiaosu was shocked to find that there were fewer idle people in the caravan than he had imagined.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu was a little surprised. Could it be that the Li family and the Liu family were urging him to hurry up and set off? Was it a conspiracy in itself?
And then, the silly Meg didn't think too much about it and directly agreed to it?
Ren Xiaosu controlled "Old Xu" to quietly circle around the periphery of the caravan. As a result, he was even more certain of his judgment. Seeing that the revelry had just ended, there were still people standing guard at the side of the caravan's vehicles loaded with wine barrels.
One of the main industries of Yorkshire was wine. This time, the main goods that the Chamber of Commerce was transporting to Ghent City were also wine.
The entire caravan had hundreds of ox-carts and carriages, and a quarter of them were filled with oak barrels filled with wine.
An ox-cart could carry six barrels of wine, and that was the limit of an ox-cart. Ren Xiaosu very much suspected that there were other things in those barrels. Otherwise, there wouldn't be people guarding them so vigilantly in the middle of the night.
But Ren Xiaosu was wondering if Qian Weining was the leader of this caravan, or was there someone else in command?
At dawn the next day, the caravan set off again. Qian Weining said that they would arrive at the first town on the way, Vaduz, in the afternoon.
On the way, Ren Xiaosu asked Meg, "Is Vaduz under the control of the Berkley family?"
Meg nodded. "Yes, and it's considered one of the important towns of the Berkley family in the south. Half of the Burning Knight's troops are gathered here. Further north is the territory of the Winston family."
"What's the relationship between the Winston family and the Berkley family?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"The Winston family doesn't have a real Grand Wizard, so the Winston family is more like a vassal in front of the Berkley family," Megor replied. "In the past, when the Berkley family's teenagers went to Ghent City to study, the Winston family's boys only revolved around them. If the Berkley family fights with other families, the Winston family's boys will join the Berkley family's boys as soon as possible. "
"Anything else?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"Oh, yes. Some people say that the Winston family has been secretly loyal to the Berkeley family for a long time, but that's just a rumor," replied Meigo.
"I'm afraid it's not a rumor." Ren Xiaosu suddenly said, "Remember, on this journey, do not trust anyone other than me, including the two Sheepmen. Especially the Knight sent by the Li Family to protect you, such as Mox."
Mei Ge was confused. "What's wrong?"
"I won't tell you for the time being. You're so dumb that it's easy for people to get information out of you," Ren Xiaosu said.
Mei Ge was speechless.
In the evening, when the caravan arrived outside the county city of Vaduz, Ren Xiaosu frowned. "The towns in Yorkshire don't have city walls. Why does Vaduz have one?"
"They built it decades ago. They said it was to prevent wild animals from harming the people," Mei Ge said nonchalantly.
However, Ren Xiaosu didn't think that the sturdy city walls were built to prevent wild animals.
The city walls of the Wizard Kingdom looked quite different from the ones in Middle Earth. The main structure was more like a castle, with watchtowers and arrow towers, which looked like spears pointing at the sky.
The city walls were built with gray bricks. Strong soldiers stood on top of the city walls, holding the Berkley family's lion flag in one hand and the hilt of a longsword at their waist with the other.
"What does the Wizard Kingdom's flag look like?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
Mei Ge tried to recall for a long time, but he couldn't remember anything for a long time. It was only after a few minutes that he answered, "It's a pattern of two longswords crossing each other, and there's an Eye of Truth on the longsword."
"Didn't your family live in Ghent City? Why can't you even remember this?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"Ghent City's flag has long been removed. At first, the Norman family replaced Ghent City's flag with their shield flag. Later, the Tudor family wanted to replace the top of the city walls with their green sea flag," Mei Ge replied with a shrug. "In the end, no one's flag was placed on the top of the city walls. There was nothing at all."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. He thought to himself, 'Has the internal strife of the Wizard Kingdom become so intense?
It's obvious that the Norman family and the Tudor family aren't on good terms either. This is very good news for me. '
When the caravan wanted to enter the city gates, the soldiers on duty at the gates stopped them. A sergeant major wearing iron armor ordered the soldiers, "Check their carriages!"
At this moment, Qian Weining rode his horse forward and said loudly, "I'm the vice president of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, Qian Weining. The customs documents are all ready, and the honorable Wizard Mei Ge is also behind us. Do you want to delay his time?"
The soldiers at the gates glanced at the back of the caravan. Qian Weining pointed at Mei Ge's carriage for the sergeant major. "There's the Eye of Truth symbol on the carriage. You can send your regards to Lord Mei Ge."
After saying that, the sergeant major walked towards Mei Ge's carriage. As he walked, the armor on his body clanked.
He came before Mei Ge's carriage and knelt on one knee. "Honorable Lord Mei Ge."
Mei Ge lifted the curtain and said, "Please rise. I'm only passing by Vaduz County this time. I still have to continue north to Ghent City tomorrow."
"Understood." The sergeant major stood up and waved at the soldiers at the gates. "Let them pass. Don't delay Lord Mei Ge's time."
The caravan moved slowly again. They were going to rest at the relay station in the north of the town. There were residences there, as well as horse fodder and hay for the animals.
Ren Xiaosu watched everything silently from the side. He suddenly understood why this group of people was urging Mei Ge to go on his way.
The people at the bottom of the Wizard Kingdom worshipped and believed in wizards in a deformed way. No matter how many customs documents a caravan brought, it was not as good as having a wizard overseeing things.
With a wizard in the caravan, they could even skip the time to inspect the goods in many towns. Even if the guards insisted on inspecting the goods, they would not do it too carefully.
So, Meg, this idiot, was used as a pass by others.
As for Mei Ge, he said to Ren Xiaosu in a low voice, "How is it? Seeing how people respect me, do you want to become a wizard even more? Don't worry, I'll definitely help you choose the Eye of Truth this time. "
Ren Xiaosu rolled his eyes. If he hadn't followed and helped Mei Ge augment his Main Character Life Providence, Mei Ge probably wouldn't even know how he died …
