After passing through the windy Fengxi Province, they arrived at the Luoyan Province with high mountains and hills. The convoy moved slowly along the path surrounding the mountains.
Occasionally, the wheels would bump slightly when running over stones on the roadside, making a small sound.
In the northern mountains, the winter chill has not yet completely dissipated. There is still some snow water remaining in the dark green pine needles on the roadside, and the water droplets in them drip quietly along the forked branches and leaves.
Loran Hill was sitting in the carriage. She was wearing a red long dress, but this time she added a velvet coat on the outside, which made her look more cute, which matched her age.
The weather seemed to be getting colder again. Thinking back to the spring rain a few days ago, she felt the temperature had dropped again.
She didn't know whether these people were used to it. Even though they were following her on the inspection, she still wanted to take good care of them, otherwise it would be bad if they got frozen.
"Fenni, ask the riders tonight how they're doing. If they're too cold, take out the blankets from the cargo and wrap them around your knees and bodies. If you have frostbite, let me know so you can take turns resting in the warmer carriages."
"Okay, Miss." The maid nodded and wrote down the matter in the small notebook she carried with her.
He seemed to be very serious about it. Loran Hill thought to himself that when he was a child, he also had a small notebook like this, in which he wrote down his favorite sentences, things he didn't want to forget, and things he wanted.
Occasionally, the calls of cuckoos can be heard in the cold mountains. They fly to the branches, causing them to sway and drop water.
As the carriage climbed over the hills, a noisy and chaotic sound came from the distant valley.
After receiving the eldest lady's order, the four riders urged their horses to rush forward.
The group turned a few big bends and a dazzling scene appeared before their eyes.
Several carriages were overturned on the side of the road on the hillside. Some people were running into the distance. Several horses were neighing in panic, trying to break free from the reins and shackles. A huge monster was in the valley, biting a horse.
As the gray-green monster swung its head back and forth, the poor horse broke in two, its internal organs and blood spilling out. On the other side of the valley, a few people were taking cover from the trees, shooting arrows at the monster.
Unfortunately, the effect was not good. Although this monster had no scales, its skin was extremely tough.
"Merka Salamander!?" one rider exclaimed.
"Do you know him?" asked several companions nearby.
"Yes, I've seen similar ones in the Tisilan Mountains before, but they're rare. The most powerful one I've seen there is only Sequence 3, which isn't very powerful."
"This one is 4-5 times larger than the average individual, and looks to be at least Sequence 4."
"What should I do? Should I go down and help?"
"But we are caravan guards now, and we prioritize our personal interests... Wouldn't it be bad for our image to act like this?"
"Hey, hey, don't get too caught up in the role-playing. If the young lady sees this, she'll probably ask us for help."
"Okay, let's just think of us as the really good caravan guards."
After dealing with the obstacles in their minds, they no longer hesitated, drew out the long swords hanging at their waists, with cold light shining out, jumped down the hillside, and slid down rapidly.
The ground in the mountains was covered with fallen leaves and melted snow, so they could slide quickly. Soon they approached the giant salamander.
Looking at the head that was taller than a human, they were not afraid, but instead faced it head-on.
He exhaled white mist from his mouth, kicked a low tree trunk with one foot, jumped high, and the long sword in his hand flashed with a beautiful light, then directly pierced into one of the eyes of the giant salamander.
Soon after, several people arrived. One of them cut a huge gash under the giant salamander's neck, and the other two directly pierced the salamander's forearm and severed the tendons.
The people hiding aside shooting arrows and observing looked at the few people who suddenly rushed down the mountain and gave out exclamations and warnings, but before they could finish explaining, these people cleanly and neatly dealt with the salamander.
So amazing, so powerful, even elite adventurers are no more powerful than this.
Looking at their skilled appearance, the people next to them couldn't help but sigh.
The salamander roared a few times and then fell among the dead leaves in the valley.
"Thank you all for your heroic assistance."
"Thanks."
"Alas, what a pity for my carriage."
"Thank you so much."
These people were dressed differently, some old and some young. After seeing the salamander die, they slowly walked over.
"It's nothing, just a small matter. Are you all okay?" The young riders touched their heads a little embarrassedly.
"Some of us suffered minor injuries, but thankfully the lords arrived in time, so nothing serious has happened so far. There's only some damage to the goods and carriages."
"That's good."
Several riders answered, and as they listened to their words of gratitude, they gradually remembered another question.
Maybe it was resolved too quickly and neatly, so that it seems a bit false to say that he is just an ordinary guard of the caravan.
This is not good. When I go back, I will probably be scolded by Lady Mira, saying that we have affected the plan of His Majesty the Sage.
Thinking of this, they suddenly couldn't feel happy anymore, but felt a little disappointed instead.
Then Lagetis's carriage team slowly arrived and stopped.
------------
In the evening, Lengquan Village.
There are scattered houses on the hillside. There is a small open space in the middle of the hills where some tents are set up.
"Thank you for the help from the Lagertis Chamber of Commerce. We are from the Lake Chamber of Commerce. It's normal that you haven't heard of us, as we only have about 30 people in our chamber of commerce."
A thin old man with a white beard was speaking gratefully to a blonde lady by the campfire.
"It's nothing. Are you okay? We have medicine to treat external injuries." Loran Hill's face was illuminated by the firelight, one side was bright yellow, and the other side was obscured by a swaying shadow.
"Thank you for your generosity, but we do have some herbs for bruises. After all, we're away from home all year round, so we always have some on hand. No need to trouble you any further."
On the other side of the tent camp, Mira was looking at the rabbit-eared riders in front of her who were lowering their heads.
"I feel like you guys have been drifting lately."
"We dare not, we dare not, Big Sister Mira." Several people shuddered and stood up straight immediately.
"Oh, so you still want it." Mira smiled sweetly and her eyes slowly narrowed.
"Do you want me to repeat it a few times?"
"Dear knight brothers, you are so awesome~"
"Thank you for your help, sir. I can't thank you enough. I can have a few drinks with you tonight~"
"What's this brother's name? I am..."
When Mira spoke, the bunny ears on her head swayed gently. If an outsider saw her, they would probably be immediately fascinated by this cute bunny-eared girl.
But several people present were from the Rabbit Ears Tribe. Some of them were Mira's classmates, some were from the same hometown, and some had heard of her name, so they naturally didn't dare to think too much.
The favorite of this wise man is no simple character.
