The convoy traveled for about seven more days before turning onto another main road.
Because we've been camping in the wild for a while, everyone is a bit tired.
After all, apart from people of status and position like Lin Xue and the caravan owner, the other mercenaries and bodyguards have to be on guard at all times, so it's no wonder they can't get proper rest.
"Hang in there a little longer, everyone. It looks like it's going to rain soon. We need to get to Peach Blossom Temple to take shelter from the rain as soon as possible!"
"Everyone, keep going! Once we get to Peach Blossom Temple, we can get a good night's sleep tonight!"
Outside the carriage, the caravan owner was giving a pep talk.
The guards on both sides kept responding, and the speed of the convoy increased significantly.
"Tick-tock!"
As the first raindrop hit the roof of the car, raindrops followed one after another.
"Speed up, those in the back keep an eye on the goods."
The caravan owner was anxious, but fortunately, all the goods had been covered up, so he wasn't worried about them getting wet even if it rained.
However, traveling in the rain is extremely difficult, as there are no paved roads in the world, and everywhere you go is a dirt road.
Good spots might have some pebbles laid out, but most places don't get that treatment.
If it really rains, and the muddy ground softens, then all the mud will stick to the car wheels.
They kept scraping the mud off the wheels as they walked; their pace was so slow it could only be described as snail's pace.
"We're here! We're here!"
"We can already see the gate of Peach Blossom Temple! Everyone, give it your all!"
The caravan kept shouting, and before the rain really got heavy, they finally managed to get all the carriages into Peach Blossom Temple.
The caravan owner, familiar with the place, arrived at the lodging in the backyard.
There is already a courtyard where monks have arranged accommodation for them.
This Peach Blossom Temple, built in the middle of nowhere, covers a large area, with almost half of the mountaintop belonging to the temple grounds.
Whenever merchants come and go, they choose to rest here for a while.
Therefore, the young monk was quite adept at arranging these things.
Lin Xue was the first to be assigned a room, while the others drove their carriages to the stables before finding a place to rest.
Because the entire caravan was allocated only one courtyard, all the wagons were unloaded in a corner of the courtyard and covered with a huge tarpaulin.
This place was originally intended for merchants to store their goods, so it's located on higher ground and a platform has been built there.
Even if it rains heavily, I'm not worried about the goods getting soaked.
It must be said that the monks here are quite good at business.
Lin Xue opened the door and looked outside at the heavy rain that was pouring down.
Upon entering Peach Blossom Temple, I seemed to spot a dark figure.
That aura reminded Lin Xue of someone she really didn't want to see.
We must talk to the caravan owner about this. After all, they have always respected her. Giving them a heads-up will save us a lot of trouble.
Hopefully, that person won't do anything wrong in the temple, otherwise she might really take action.
Lin Xue waited until she saw the caravan owner go into the next room, which meant he had finished his business. She waited a while longer until he had bathed and changed before knocking on his door.
"My esteemed mage, is there anything you require?"
The caravan owner, whose house had been completely renovated, respectfully invited Lin Xue into the house.
He poured her a cup of tea himself before asking Lin Xue why he had come.
"That's right, I saw a figure when I entered the temple."
"That person looks a lot like a wicked witch I once met. That wicked witch was narrow-minded and vindictive."
“Even if someone hasn’t done anything wrong, she’ll still curse them if she doesn’t like them.”
"That's why I've come to remind you to tell your subordinates to stay far away from any woman in black robes and not to provoke her!"
Lin Xue didn't want to confront that wicked witch unless absolutely necessary.
After all, she wasn't a real witch, and even if the original owner knew some advanced techniques, they weren't particularly profound.
In addition, she is currently learning some basic magic and has not yet come into contact with anything more advanced.
The other party's methods were too vicious. He was clearly a seasoned veteran who had never done anything truly evil. Facing such a wicked person, I really don't know what methods he would use.
Ever since she encountered the Illusionary Ice Cave in the mountain cave, Lin Xue knew that magic was the dominant force on this magical continent, and even with her spiritual power, she could not be immune to all magical attacks.
What's more, what about an even more mysterious and unpredictable vicious curse?
"Thank you for the reminder, Master. I will definitely instruct my men not to cause any trouble."
The caravan owner was pleased that Lin Xue had come to remind him, and felt that his previous actions were wise.
Indeed, befriending a magician can help you avoid many troubles.
After explaining everything, Lin Xue returned to her room to rest.
The little parrot stood on the windowsill watching the rain outside, but it didn't go out, because birds always hate getting their feathers wet.
After feeding the little parrot some of its birdseed, Lin Xue began practicing magic under 629's tutelage.
Even though magic and spells have many things in common, such as the magic spell "Summon Fireball" and the spell "Fireball" being basically the same.
However, their operating methods and output methods are slightly different.
Magic must be used in conjunction with incantations, and spells must be performed by making hand gestures.
However, once you've mastered both techniques, the pre-animation step can be omitted.
