Wizard: Live hard and you will become stronger
Chapter 23 023: Convoy
After talking, Luo Xi found out that the man's name was Pierre, and he was called out by the accompanying convoy to collect firewood.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people in this world to travel, let alone travel long distances.
Difficult roads, wild beasts, bandits, diseases, etc. that may appear at any time. Any emergencies during the journey are not something ordinary humans can easily handle.
Therefore, the vast majority of people either stay in their hometowns all the time. If they really want to travel far away, they will not go on the road alone. Instead, they will gather together to pay a certain amount of travel expenses and join the convoys of some traveling merchants.
Most of these convoys are protected by mercenaries, and have all kinds of personnel and facilities to deal with emergencies, so their safety is relatively guaranteed.
After learning about Luo Xi's situation, Pierre immediately took him to the convoy's camp and introduced him to the Red Wolf mercenary group responsible for the safety of the convoy.
The Red Wolf Mercenary Group initially rejected this kind of person whose identity was unclear and who appeared during the journey, but they changed their minds after Luo Xi took out two gold coins.
There are three types of currency commonly used in the human world, namely copper plates, silver coins and gold coins. The ratios are all between 1:100.
The purchasing power of 1 copper plate is roughly equivalent to one dollar. One gold coin is enough to cover the living expenses of a family of three for several months to half a year. It is definitely a huge sum of money. You must know that the travel expenses of Pierre and others are only ten dollars. Just a few silver coins.
Luo Xi didn't care. Before setting off, he bought some currencies of the human world. Several hundred coins of each kind were enough for him to spend money in the human world.
Gold is not a particularly rare material in the wizarding world. Three magic stones can be purchased for about one pound.
A few days later, west of Blackstone Castle, in a lush forest.
"Gulu gulu~" The sound of wheels turning echoed in the silent forest, and a long motorcade slowly passed through the forest.
This is a common caravan fleet in mainland China, which is roughly composed of three parts.
First of all, there were more than a dozen horned giant rhinoceros walking in the front, carrying heavy cargo on their backs. These big guys with docile personalities and amazing strength are the favorite animals of the merchants.
In the middle were several luxurious carriages, containing the merchants who formed the caravan and their accompanying servants.
At the end, there are more than a dozen simple carriages with only one large shed. Each shed is filled with people, men and women huddled together. These are ordinary people from all over the country.
There are also twenty or thirty strong men wearing uniform leather armor and carrying weapons on the periphery. This is the mercenary group responsible for the safety of the caravan, which is indispensable for long-distance transportation of the caravan.
In the carriage, Luo Xi was doing magic.
There was a mother and son in the same carriage with him who happened to be sitting next to him. The little boy, who was three or four years old, was very cute. It reminded Luo Xi of his brother far away in his hometown, so he wanted to tease him.
He took out a copper plate and put it between his thumbs. He pinched the copper plate and disappeared. Then he pinched the copper plate and reappeared in his hand.
The little boy's eyes widened, and little stars lit up in his eyes: "Wow~"
He clapped his hands and said: "Duoduo is so awesome, Duoduo, Duoduo, are you a wizard? Are you using magic?"
Luo Xi smiled, scratched his red cheeks with her fingers, nodded and said seriously: "Yes."
"Complete one effort to coax the child, time point +3 days."
The little boy was very happy: "Once again, Wizard Duoduo changes again. Amy wants Wizard Duoduo to change into lots and lots of candies."
The boy's mother is a beautiful woman in her twenties, her name is Sarah. This trip is to go to Fengxi City to join her husband there. Not long ago, she received a letter from her husband who was out and about, saying that he had been found in Fengxi City. Work settled down.
She pulled the boy back and said slightly reproachfully: "Amy, you can't. Have you forgotten the manners I taught you? Let dad know that you will be spanked."
The little boy quickly retracted into his mother's arms: "Amy, don't get spanked."
The cute gesture made the car burst into laughter.
After laughing, Pierre took out a candy and handed it to the little boy. His head was often dizzy. The doctor in the town said that eating some candy would be better, so he took some with him.
Pierre said to Luo Xi: "I have seen many magic tricks that turn copper plates, but this is the best one I have ever seen. There are no flaws at all. You are really an outstanding artist."
When the mercenary asked about Luo Xi's identity when he joined the convoy, he casually named himself a magician. He is tender and generous, which is very suitable for the group of people who do not participate in social labor and who don't know how to cherish money when they get it easily. image of.
Wizards generally do not reveal their identities as wizards when they are in the human world. There are also some relevant regulations in the alliance, mainly to avoid trouble.
After all, wizards possess power that mortals cannot. Once they know that this group really exists, there will always be many people who risk unrealistic ideas to try to obtain or use this power.
Over the years, there have always been people who heard about the deeds of wizards from nowhere and traveled thousands of miles deep into the wizarding realm in the hope of finding a wizard who would grant them eternal life, treasure or something else.
Forget about one or two. If the entire human social group no longer engages in production, then there will be big problems in the world order.
Therefore, wizards will deliberately conceal the existence of the wizarding world, and occasionally use magic to hide it after revealing it. For example, Luo Xi and his apprentices who did the appraisal together at the beginning were all arranged to drink the 'Forgotten' thing. of potions.
Luo Xi smiled and said: "This is just a little trick. The only ones who are truly respected are craftsmen like you."
Pierre comes from a small town in the south of the Karel Kingdom. He is only two years older than Roxi. He is a newly trained craftsman and is going to find a living in Fengxi City.
Hearing Luo Xi's praise, the smile on his face became fuller. Technical workers enjoy a certain social status no matter which society they work in.
He laughed and said: "Haha, this is nothing. If you want to learn, I can teach you, but you can really consider it. Artists are not bad, but there is no guarantee for being illusory. If you can learn A craft is much easier, how about it? If you are interested, you can go to Fengxi City with me and I will take you."
He felt that since he had already started his apprenticeship, it was natural for him to take on an apprentice.
Luo Xi said: "I will seriously consider it."
Pierre said: "Then you have to hurry up. When I get to Fengxi City and settle down, there will always be a lot of people coming to learn the craft. I can't teach too many people at the same time."
"Clang!"
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside, and then, the driving convoy suddenly stopped.
"Huh? Why did you stop suddenly?"
"Are we going to set up camp? But it's still early."
Just when everyone was confused, a cold killing sound sounded again.
"Draw the sword! Draw the sword! Form the array! Form the array!"
"Prepare for battle!"
Everyone was startled when they heard this voice and quickly stretched out their heads to look outside. At this glance, everyone's expressions suddenly tightened.
