This was a good idea. Seeing that Qiao Qiao had no objection, Du Wei thanked the mercenary leader and agreed.
Then the names were exchanged, and the mercenary leader revealed his identity as a mercenary group named "Desert Fox". Du Wei had some impression of this name. It was a well-known medium-sized group in the northwest.
The mercenary group has been officially registered in Du Wei's territory and has a good reputation. This man is the deputy leader of the Desert Fox mercenary group. His name is Toya, and he is a third-level warrior.
As for Duwei, he used the pseudonym "Harry Potter" that he had used before.
Toya was an enthusiastic person, and later lent Duwei a tent for the two of them to rest.
Living in a tent with Du Wei, Qiao Qiao was a little shy at first, but in the past two days when the two were together, they hugged each other and carried each other on their backs. Even the most embarrassing things about herself were told to Du Wei.
Passed. Not to mention just living in a tent?
However, after Du Wei and the others were allowed to rest, Toya's people couldn't help but wonder: "Deputy captain, we are just two lonely guests, why do we have to do so much?"
Toya smiled and said to his subordinates: "Idiot. I've traveled all over the country and I haven't seen anyone! These two people must have extraordinary identities, especially that man. Although he looks polite and polite, his demeanor and demeanor are definitely not
An ordinary person must be a big shot. Normally, we have no chance to curry favor with such people. At this time, what's wrong with making friends? Besides, it doesn't cost us anything. It's just bringing two more people on the road. You
Pass it on to me. Let our brothers be polite to these two people and don't offend them."
After daybreak, the leader of the merchant group knew about it and didn't care. Anyway, it was not unusual for a caravan like this to walk out all year round and one or two outsiders walk in on the road. And after looking at Du Wei,
Seeing that Du Wei and Qiao Qiao were just a lonely man and a widow, they didn't look like any threats, so they agreed. However, any man who sees such a beautiful young girl like Qiao Qiao still can't help but take a few more glances.
of.
However, the laws in the Tulip Dukedom are extremely strict, and these people travel to the northwest all year round and do not dare to have any evil intentions.
After following the caravan on the road, Du Wei gradually felt relieved when Luo Xue still didn't pursue him on the second day. He probably hadn't noticed this guy yet. Maybe Luo Xue was still looking for him thousands of miles away at this moment.
!
Without the imminent pressure from the Elf King in his heart, Du Wei felt much more relaxed.
This afternoon, everyone finally walked out of the northwest corridor. As soon as they walked out of the corridor, they saw the caravans stopping immediately. The merchants and followers all took off their heavy fur coats and put on slightly lighter ones.
clothes.
Du Wei was a little puzzled. But Toya smiled and explained: "This gentleman, it seems that this is his first time here? You know, in Desa Province, the weather is certainly very cold, but as long as
As soon as we leave this northwest corridor, less than a hundred miles away, it will gradually get hotter, with the Gobi Desert in front of us. Wearing a fur jacket will probably kill you from the heat."
After all, Du Wei had experienced it in his previous life, so he understood it immediately.
Because of the large natural barrier of the Kilimaro Mountains, the precipitation coming from the eastern part of the continent is blocked to the east by the Kilimaru Mountains. This barrier cannot be crossed, and there is very little rainfall on the west side of the mountains all year round.
Rainfall, over time, it turns into a desert with a hot climate.
It would be very beneficial to follow this caravan.
After all, Du Wei and Qiao Qiao currently do not dare to use magic. And in the vast desert ahead, neither of them knows the road, so they will suffer a lot if they simply rely on their own strength to walk.
These caravans have traveled to the northwest all year round and have walked in the desert countless times. They are familiar with the roads and have experience. Especially after entering the desert, they are familiar with where there are water sources and small oases.
I followed this caravan for a few days and everything was fine.
The only detail is that Toya often makes excuses to get close to Du Wei and Qiao Qiao. This mercenary leader who travels around the world has indeed vicious eyes. He tried to test Du Wei's identity several times, but Du Wei fooled him. He became more and more absolute.
Du Wei and Du Wei have extraordinary origins.
Moreover, Du Wei was very generous. He just walked in on the road, but he casually gave Toya a "protection fee" of one hundred gold coins. Toya was even more grateful.
You know, the life of a mercenary is actually not that glamorous. For a mid-level mercenary group like the Desert Fox, even if they serve as guards for some caravans, they can only earn a hundred or ten gold coins in one trip. Everyone is divided.
He only had a few gold coins on his head. Not only was it hard to travel a long distance, but if he encountered horse bandits, he would have to bleed desperately.
Du Wei was also a smart man. He knew what the other party's intentions were for being so close to him, so he found an opportunity to hint to Toya in a subtle way that he was actually a member of the Tulip family. He was ordered to go to the northwest this time on business. That's all.
The identity gave Toya a bit more grandeur and respect. After all, if the mercenary group, which lives at the bottom of society like them and licks blood and fights on the blade, can become a member of the powerful Tulip family in the northwest, in the future
Needless to say the benefits.
Haven't you seen that the "Snow Wolf Mercenary Group" in the north has now become one of the top mercenary groups in the mainland because of its association with the Tulip Family?
Although it is hot in the desert during the day, it is still very cold at night. Although his face was covered with a veil when he was traveling during the day, Du Wei also felt a little uncomfortable all over his body due to the wind and sand blowing for a few days, as if he was shaking randomly.
He can shake off two kilograms of sand from his body.
As for Qiao Qiao, she is a girl who likes cleanliness by nature, so she feels even more uncomfortable. However, she can stay with Du Wei and even get through the smelly swamp. What does the little wind and sand mean? So she surprisingly doesn't complain.
.On the contrary, when riding a camel during the day, I felt quite novel and kept smiling all day long.
On the fifth day after entering the desert, Du Wei clearly felt that the people in this caravan seemed to be much more nervous than the previous days. When they camped at night, the number of people watching the night was doubled.
Even the cheerful Toya had a lot less smile on his face and seemed to be more alert. He also kept vigil at night. When Du Wei asked, he found out that there was a famous stock in the desert.
It is said that horse bandits often haunt this area. Now that the caravan has reached a dangerous area, it naturally becomes more vigilant.
That night, the caravan found a familiar oasis as planned, set up tents to rest, and let the horses and camels drink from the water source of the oasis. Additional manpower was assigned to keep watch.
Du Wei and Qiao Qiao were not afraid at all. However, Toya gave Du Wei a special warning at night: It is said that a caravan was attacked here a few months ago in this oasis. You must be more alert at night. If you encounter any movement, Qian Qiao will
Don't panic, naturally there will be mercenaries like them to protect him. Toya even sent two men to protect Du Wei.
This move made Du Wei feel funny. Although he was grateful for Toya's enthusiasm, it was unnecessary for Du Wei.
Even if he doesn't use magic, Du Wei is not a weak person. He has been practicing physical skills for many years, and he is not ignorant of martial arts. Although he rarely practices martial arts, after undergoing the basic movements of Starry Sky Dou Qi and the physical skills of Daxue Mountain to transform his body
, Ordinary warriors are really no match for Du Wei!
And Qiaoqiao, not to mention, even if she doesn't use magic, she is still an eighth-level warrior! An eighth-level warrior can walk sideways even on the mainland.
In the middle of the night, Du Wei, who was sitting meditating, suddenly felt something in his heart and opened his eyes. At the same time, Qiao Qiao in the tent also sat up. The two looked at each other and whispered at the same time: "Dongbian and
North, both directions!"
After all, they are magicians. Even if they don't use magic, their super mental power and keen hearing and vision are still far superior to ordinary people.
At this moment, both of them felt that under the cover of darkness, there were two groups of people approaching quietly to the east and north of the caravan camp. Du Wei listened carefully for a while: "There seem to be two to three hundred people."
.”
Qiao Qiao smiled. She had suffered so much in front of Luo Xue a few days ago that she had nowhere to vent her pent-up anger. If she could meet some horse bandits tonight, she wouldn't mind going on a killing spree.
!
After opening the tent curtain, Du Wei and Qiao Qiao had just walked out when they suddenly heard in the distant darkness, the mercenaries guarding the night, warning loudly: "A cavalry is approaching!!"
Then, Du Wei heard the clear sound of a bowstring vibrating from afar. This was followed by a short scream. A mercenary who was keeping watch on the tree was hit by an arrow and fell from the tree. Seeing that
The arrow was stuck in the chest and blood was flowing.
