"I've got two questions for you," Ren Xiaosu asked unhurriedly as he rode on his horse.
However, Chen Cheng and An 'an only glanced at Ren Xiaosu and did not answer his questions.
The two of them were still mumbling and reciting the witchcraft incantations that they specialized in.
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows. "I really do have a question."
However, Chen Cheng and An 'an still did not intend to answer him. Instead, they continued reciting their incantations.
In the two days after the merchant group left Vaduz, Chen Cheng and An 'an went through stress resistance training. According to Ren Xiaosu's request, no matter how Ren Xiaosu interfered with them, they were not allowed to interrupt their incantations.
Once they were interrupted, they would be punished. For example, they would have to cook for Ren Xiaosu or find hay for Ren Xiaosu to make his bed.
In the beginning, the two of them were often interrupted. Sometimes, Ren Xiaosu would suddenly appear and give them a scare. Sometimes, he would wake them up in the middle of the night and ask them to recite an incantation immediately.
Putting everything else aside, Chen Cheng and An 'an had already deeply experienced how infuriating Ren Xiaosu was in the past two days.
They were now like Ren Xiaosu's free servants, meticulously taking care of Ren Xiaosu's daily life …
However, there were benefits too. In the past two days, An 'an realized that her incantations could not be interrupted so easily. Previously, when she was walking with the merchant group, two frolicking children bumped into her from the side.
In the end, An 'an realized that although she was bumped into, she was still subconsciously reciting the incantation.
This was a very good start!
However, when Ren Xiaosu really wanted to ask the two of them something, Chen Cheng and An 'an ignored him completely.
"Ahem, let's stop our stress resistance training for a while. Don't worry, I definitely won't punish you if you stop now," Ren Xiaosu said.
Chen Cheng and An 'an glanced at him. Their expressions showed that they did not believe him at all!
Ren Xiaosu said bitterly, "Am I that untrustworthy?"
Chen Cheng and An nodded frantically as they chanted.
Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Fine, you two can continue. My deep relationship with you as a teacher and a student has been misplaced in the end."
As he spoke, he rode his horse towards Mego. When he reached the carriage, Ren Xiaosu noticed that Mego was teaching the Sheep-Man Wizard language.
Seeing him come over, Mei Ge asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
"I have something important to tell you," Ren Xiaosu said.
Immediately, Mei Ge jumped off the carriage and walked to a secluded place with Ren Xiaosu. "What's the important matter?"
"I think something's not right. We're already in the Winston family's territory. How long will it take for us to reach Ghent City if we keep going north?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"About half a month," Mei Ge said. "This time, the caravan is moving quite fast."
"Once we're about to leave the Winston family's territory, we'll immediately part ways with the caravan," Ren Xiaosu said. "This is for your safety. Qian Weining wants to use you as a shield, but you can still reach Ghent City without the caravan."
"Is it that serious?" Mei Ge was puzzled. "Did you discover something?"
"You're too gullible, so I can't tell you the truth yet," Ren Xiaosu said. "You just need to be prepared. Once we reach the northern border of the Winston family, you'll immediately leave with me with the two Sheep-Men. If the two Sheep-Men don't want to leave the caravan, it means that there's something wrong with them too. All you need to do is abandon them and follow me to Ghent City from another direction. Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as I'm here."
Mei Ge didn't understand what made Ren Xiaosu so vigilant. Now that he had a godly archer like Qian Weining to protect him, it was better than taking the smaller path, right?
But after hesitating for a while, Mei Ge still agreed. "Okay."
For some reason, Mei Ge chose to believe in Ren Xiaosu, a stranger from Middle Earth whom he hadn't known for long. He had a feeling that Ren Xiaosu wouldn't lie to him …
Ren Xiaosu was relieved after Mei Ge agreed. Just now, when "Ol 'Xu" was investigating the vicinity of the caravan, he was surprised to find that all the bandits in the nearby mountains had been killed.
None of the seven bandits' hideouts were spared.
In this hot summer, the flies around the corpses were as dense as dark clouds.
Ren Xiaosu wasn't sure who did it, but he felt that things had escalated. Qian Weining's plan to disguise themselves as a caravan to go north might not succeed, and the oak barrels in their caravan were definitely not wine.
When the Berkley family announced their intention to rebel in advance, how could the Dudor family and the Norman family let a hostile caravan enter Ghent City?
At that time, Mei Ge might also be mistaken as a wizard sent by the Berkley family, and they would all be imprisoned and tortured.
While they were talking, President Qian suddenly walked in front of the two of them and said with a smile, "Honorable Sir Mei Ge, Sir Attendant, what are you discussing? I see that you both look worried."
"Oh, it's nothing." Ren Xiaosu smiled innocently. "We're just discussing what we're eating tonight."
"Coincidentally, I also have something to discuss with the two of you," Qian Weining said with a smile. "We've been attacked by bandits twice since we left Yorkshire, so in order to protect Sir Mei Ge, I'll specially send some guards to protect the two of you. This is the sincerity of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, I hope the two of you won't reject it."
Mei Ge was stunned for a moment and looked at Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu, on the other hand, sneered in his heart. He didn't send them earlier or later, but now?
They were clearly sent to watch over them. Qian Weining must be afraid that Mei Ge would sneak away!
However, Ren Xiaosu could not understand how a weakling like Mei Ge could make use of him.
When it was time to set up camp at night, Qian Weining even specially parked his carriage next to Mei Ge and the others.
This way, Mei Ge and the others had Qian Weining on their left and the caravan's guards on their right. It was as though they were going to defend themselves to the death.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not say much. It would be like a dream for these ordinary guards to stop him.
The naive Mei Ge did not realize that the situation was starting to get dangerous. He even felt that it would be better to have more guards to protect him.
He sat by the campfire and looked at Ren Xiaosu curiously. He whispered, "By the way, I haven't asked you about the Central Plains yet. Tell me about it."
"What do you want to hear?" Ren Xiaosu glanced at him.
"For example …" Mei Ge thought for a long time. "Is the entire Central Plains under the jurisdiction of Fortress 178?"
"No." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "Fortress 178 is only in charge of the Northwest region."
"Are there any other forces?" Mei Ge was curious. "In that case, does Fortress 178 have any other enemies other than the warlock nations?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment before saying, "Yes."
