Chapter 112: Travelers (Part 1)
The Hot Spring Village is not too close to Vanilla City, and it takes about five or six days to arrive by horseback.
In the dark and chaotic era, from Galano to Vanilla City, and then to Sanye City, Sheephorn Town, Lily of the Valley..., this large area did not belong to the Griffin Kingdom at that time, but belonged to a A country called "Tommy".
This is a human kingdom that takes the name of its founding queen as its name, but has only existed for less than a hundred years. It is also one of the dozens of kingdoms established by humans after the fall of the Magic Empire, which has a rather unique history.
In the two hundred years of the original chaotic era, the great Griffon Kingdom annexed more than ten human countries, large and small, to have such a vast territory today, and the Kingdom of Tomyli is one of these annexed countries. However, although the Griffon Kingdom annexed these countries, many of the names of cities and villages in these kingdoms are still in use today.
Of course, that doesn't include Galano. It is a new city established after the unification of the Griffin Kingdom, which can be distinguished from the names of these cities and villages. Roaming 2D

The sky was already a little dark at this time. In the distance, beautiful, verdant mountains became shadows. On the side of the road, the fields full of crops that I saw during the day slowly faded from the colorful colors like a drawing board, and turned into monotonous black and gray. It looks a little gloomy.
There is a blue river across the fields and the mountains. The river flows slowly. Looking upstream against the direction of the flow, you can faintly see a large dam built upstream in the distance. The dam is like the giant mouth of a monster, constantly pouring out rushing water.
At this time, Barrett was holding the 'carrot' and slowly walking on this flat road connecting Galano and Vanilla City, looking for a place to camp at night.
What is today's date? He pondered hard, it seemed to be April 13th, or the 14th, at most it might be the 15th, and it would not exceed the 16th anyway. If nothing unexpected happened, he would definitely be able to complete the task of delivering the letter in time. Smart Industrial Empire
Today is the fourth day that Barrett has left Hot Springs Village, and he will be able to reach Vanilla City in two days at most. On the way, the barbarians did not choose to stay overnight in the villages along the road, but chose to try their best to travel until it was dark, and then sleep in the wilderness. This will undoubtedly save a lot of time.
In fact, compared to staying in other people's homes, Barrett is more used to camping in the wild like now. At least this way is more free, without restraint, and he doesn't have to be careful because he is worried about soiling the host's bed sheets.
Of course, the premise is that it never rains, and there is no light rain, otherwise it will really suffer.
'Carrot' snorted in dissatisfaction beside him, shaking his head and shaking the reins in Barrett's hand. Barrett knew what it meant - 'carrot' was tired, needed rest, needed food, needed carrots!
"Come on, let's move on." Barrett reassured it, "Let's find a dry place, at least this place is not full of luscious grass. In addition to the grass, I will reward you with two apples. , half a bag of corn, and 5 carrots!" He stretched out a palm and stroked the bridge of the horse's nose, "If you can't eat it, you can save it for tomorrow morning."
The horse carried Barrett all day, so Barrett decided to give him a treat. And 'Carrot' raised his head arrogantly after hearing his words, and snorted like a sneer, as if mocking Barrett for really underestimating its appetite.
On the road in the distance, he found a firelight jumping softly, and the firelight was particularly conspicuous in the increasingly dark environment. The barbarian had noticed the flame long ago. He estimated that it should be a bonfire that was lit, and the owner of the bonfire should be a traveler who had to sleep in the wild like him.
He moved on as the bonfire got closer. Barrett saw five people sitting around the campfire, men and women, old and young, with a carriage parked beside them. The carriage was parked upwind to shield the travelers from the cold night wind.
Barrett has no intention of going forward to chat, because the travelers who meet by chance at night will subconsciously keep a distance from each other, implying vigilance, not to mention that he is a tall man with a weapon on his waist, which will undoubtedly make it even more heartbreaking. fear. Walking with the Virus Latest Chapter
The camping area chosen by this group of people is really good. The ground is flat, spacious, dry and tidy, and it should be able to accommodate two or three groups of people. If Barrett was chosen, he would also choose here, but in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he still planned to pass these people and walk a distance.
Because of the close distance, Barrett could feel that the people at the campfire were staring at him nervously. Barbarian's keen senses can make him aware of the expressions and states of everyone at the campfire:
The fat middle-aged man in a scarf who was closest to him by the campfire had a somewhat flustered expression on his face; the other man in a light gray felt hat and dressed as a coachman smiled at Barrett, but shook his head. The hand holding the wooden stick kept exerting force; a three- or four-year-old girl burrowed into her mother's arms, and her mother looked at Barrett with a calm expression, without a trace of panic; The gray-haired old man was dozing off his chin, and seemed unaware of the approach of his uninvited guest. Love Road Official Road
Barrett can understand the mood of these people very well, so he nodded to these people simply and politely, ready to move on.
But when he just passed these people, there was a sudden burst of words from the bonfire, "It's late at night, if you don't mind, just make do with us here for one night."
He stopped when he heard the sound and turned to look at the bonfire. It was the man dressed as a coachman who spoke, "Trust me, there's no good camping site if you go a long way." He said to Barrett again.
"Are you sure?" Barrett asked.
"I'm sure!" The coachman in the felt hat smiled, "I've been running the road from Galano to Vanilla City for nearly ten years, and I'm very familiar with every camping spot on this road. "The driver said kindly," in front of it is a large weedy clump composed of sweet elephant grass and grass ephedra, and there is also a thorny curly ear grass growing in it. Neither people nor horses will like it. The land is deserted. It's been a long time, they are..." Catalogue of works of the gods
"No, I mean, are you sure you want me to join you?" Barrett asked again.
The coachman adjusted the felt hat on his head, looked around at the people around him, and then smiled at Barrett, "At least you don't look like some kind of robber who makes a living, otherwise, you're a big You can rush to us directly, do you see who can resist one of your hands here?"
Neither the fat middle-aged man nor the young mother said a word, as if tacitly acquiesced in the coachman's idea of "making his own decisions". But in Barrett's view, they should have negotiated this plan in advance after sensing his existence from a distance.
The timing of the driver's speech was very precise, and it was only at the moment when Barrett just passed these people and was about to continue to move forward that he asked to hold him back.
He initially tested Barrit's character, and sincerely said this "temptation", and then pointed out his last resort (both unarmed people), so such a test would not It's boring. counterfeit
"Actually, I actually worked as a robber for a period of time before. It wasn't long. I only worked for two or three years, but now I have changed careers. However, if I meet a good target, maybe I will still do it. Go back to your old business." Barrett said solemnly.
With his words, Barrett felt that the whole atmosphere suddenly became tense again, "Hey, it seems that this is not a good joke." He spread his hands helplessly.
"Especially at night, it makes people feel less funny." The driver and others sighed with relief, "Before you tell the next joke and make us change our minds, come over and warm up."
"Thank you for your kind invitation." Barrett took the 'carrot' down the road and walked towards the group of travelers.
