Witch World Warlock - Chapter 9

Chapter 9 : Entering the Grassland

"Of course, the purpose of our alliance is for this!"

George said loudly.

"I have discussed with the people in the other carriages and asked them to give up their carriages. From now on, the people in our Plantagenet Alliance will sit in the nearby carriages! This has also been allowed by the black robes!"

"In addition, we, the noble gentlemen, will form a guard team to take turns to protect the safety of these carriages! Of course, this is on the premise of assisting the black robe knights. As for the beautiful ladies, logistics and cleaning issues, you have to worry about them!"

"As for weapons, you don't have to worry. I have already prepared them and even got a crossbow!"

George loudly stated his plan.

After a discussion, the boys and girls all expressed their support for this.

"Okay! We agree!"

As for the position of the leader of the guard team, it is natural for George to take the position. George then struck while the iron was hot and arranged several tasks.

Afterwards, it was announced that the banquet would continue, but it was obvious that everyone's interest was not as enthusiastic as before.

"I was planning to find you another cross sword, but now it seems unnecessary!"

George walked up to Leylin with a wine glass in hand and pointed at the hilt of the sword on Leylin's waist.

"Every time a wizard caravan passes through the prairie, there are deaths. Is that true?" Leylin asked.

"Of course, at best, there are only one or two, and at most, there are more than ten deaths!" George shrugged. "Otherwise, why would I go to so much trouble to form an alliance that will disband when it reaches the coastline?"

"After the seeds are planted, there will always be a harvest!" Leylin said with a smile.

In any case, sticking together can indeed increase the survival rate, and these surviving apprentices will have goodwill towards George and his family. As long as one of these apprentices can be promoted to a wizard, it will be a great reward.

Even if there is none, it is not a loss, right?

"In addition to swordsmanship, your wisdom also amazes me!" George's eyes lit up. "These are what my father ordered."

"So! Are you willing to help me?" George stretched out his hand.

"As you wish!" Lei Lin smiled and clasped his hands together.

...

Lei Lin agreed to George's request, not on impulse, but after careful consideration.

He didn't know much about the dangers of the grassland. In this case, joining the group and cooperating to pass the level is also a good way.

Whoosh...

Gusts of cold wind blew, hitting people's faces like a knife. Lei Lin sniffed and smelled the fragrance of green grass.

"It has been fifteen days since we entered the Death Prairie!"

Lei Lin looked back at the carriages and the marks on the carriages, his face a little gloomy.

These marks are three connected together, and they look like claw marks of some creature.

"The dangers on the Death Prairie are indeed not something that ordinary people like us or even reserve knights can resist!"

Since entering the prairie, although the black-robed and white-robed adults have stepped up patrols and the apprentices have huddled together, there have still been casualties.

The marks on the carriage were caused by a group of grassland scavenger wolves. It was a siege suffered by the team when they first entered the grassland.

Although there were no casualties, the wolves once charged to the edge of the carriage and even caused damage to the body of the carriage, leaving a deep impression on Lei Lin.

"From then on, apprentices could not camp under the carriage and slept on the carriage! Even so, there were still casualties."

Ley Lin's face was gloomy.

Although they were protected by the black-robed knights on the carriage, the teenagers always had to go out to rest and meet their physiological needs, and on this crisis-ridden prairie, this meant danger.

One teenager was bitten to death by a poisonous insect when he got off the carriage.

"Base chip analysis shows that the poison of that poisonous insect can corrode the brain nerves within 13 seconds. It is completely too late to treat it. Even the white-robed wizards can only watch the young man being poisoned..."

Since then, the apprentices never get off the carriage unless it is absolutely necessary. The carriage is not only small, but also has so many people staying together, so the taste is naturally not very good.

Lei Lin got the opportunity to go out at the cost of driving the carriage for the black-robed man.

Although it may be dangerous to sit outside the carriage, it is actually safer to be next to the black-robed knight.

As for the driving skills? Lei Lin just followed the black-robed man for a while, and the chip recorded it completely.

"It's dark! Everyone, surround the carriages and rest on the carriages!"

A voice sounded in front, and the whole team stopped immediately.

Traveling at night is not only dangerous, but the horses can't get rest and are likely to die, which will be more troublesome.

"Your driving skills are good!" The black-robed knight on the side opened his slightly narrowed eyes and spoke in a low voice.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Lei Lin nodded.

When he returned to the carriage, a strong smell hit him, causing Lei Lin to frown. Seeing the wooden faces of the apprentices, Lei Lin sighed inwardly.

Since the casualties, the faces of the boys and girls have become less smiling, and the atmosphere is very gloomy and miserable. He doesn't like staying in the carriage for this reason.

"Lei Lin, you're back!" A freckled boy next to the seat forced a smile and greeted him.

"Yeah!" Lei Lin sat down, looked around, took out a few pieces of bread and started chewing.

Chewing the dry bread in his mouth was like chewing sand, and the taste was very bad, but Lei Lin still endured it and swallowed the bread. It passed through his throat, causing another stinging pain, causing Lei Lin to quickly open the kettle and drink a few big gulps before he let out a sigh of relief.

Since entering the grassland, even supplies have become a problem. Although the apprentices have plenty of gold coins, in the absence of shops and merchants, gold coins are not much better than stones.

"Lei...Lei Lin, how is the situation? How many days do we have to get out of this damn grassland?"

The freckled boy waited until Lei Lin finished eating before asking.

His words obviously attracted the attention of the people in the carriage, and several eyes gathered on Lei Lin.

"When I was driving the car, I talked to the black robe. We are now halfway. If the rest of the journey goes smoothly, we can reach the coastline in half a month."

"Oh! God! There is still half a month! I can't stand this kind of life for even one day!"

The freckled boy grabbed his hair in frustration and complained.

"Hey! Look at it, Kasa, as long as we hold on for another fifteen days, we can reach the coastline. Delicious fruit paste, soft white bread, a comfortable big bed, and a warm bathroom are all waiting for you!"

A boy on the side was cheering Kasa up, and it was not known whether he was talking to Kasa or to himself.

Knock, knock! !

There was a regular knock on the door, and the carriage door opened. George was wearing soft armor and carrying a long sword at his waist, looking like a handsome knight, "Hi! Gentlemen! Ladies! It's time to rest! Those who want to go out to relax, please come out, and those who don't need it, please stay in the carriage, after all, it's dangerous outside..."

There was a commotion in the carriage, and several blushing girls looked at each other and got up and got off the carriage.

Lei Lin shrugged and grabbed the cross sword, "Let's go!"

As a guard, he also needed to get off the car to protect these young ladies, although at most he could only sound the alarm and call for the black-robed knight to come to the rescue.

"I... I won't go for now!" Kasa twisted his body uneasily on the side.

"Okay!" Lei Lin spread his hands and got off the carriage.

Stepping on the soft grass, Lei Lin couldn't help but stretching comfortably. The endless grassland looked very beautiful at this time. If there were not so many dangers, Lei Lin might like the scenery here.

"It's beautiful, isn't it!" George said, looking at the sunset slowly setting in the distance.

"It's beautiful, but also dangerous!" Leylin murmured.

"There are dangers everywhere, my friend! Disease, famine, war, this world is full of life and death crises. Although this is a life-threatening danger for us, for the white-robed wizards, it's like spreading in their own backyard!" George clenched the standard long sword in his hand.

"Are you trying to say that as long as you have power, you can get safety and freedom?"

"Yes! Just like Kasa, he has lost his courage. On the road to pursuing power, he lacks the spirit of adventure. Even if he arrives at the Wizard Academy safely, he may not become a wizard. After all, the process of learning witchcraft is a hundred times more dangerous than the Death Prairie!"

George threw a stone in his hand far away, "It's time to protect our beautiful little babies!"

Looking at George's back, Leylin smiled: "Courage? But for me who pursues the truth, caution is equally important!"

"Chip! Start scanning!" Leylin muttered in his heart.

Following the command, a three-dimensional image was formed in front of Lei Lin, showing the nearby terrain.

On the light blue geographical image, there were scattered white dots, which represented apprentices and could not cause any harm to Lei Lin.

The black-robed knights were shining red dots, which were considered to be life-threatening after the chip analysis.

In the middle carriages, there were several white-robed wizards living in them. Lei Lin didn't even dare to scan them with the chip, fearing that they would be discovered by the other party, which would be a bad outcome.

Through continuous scanning, the surrounding dangerous situations appeared in Lei Lin's mind one by one.

"Even if there were poisonous insects that time, they could not escape the chip's scanning. Now it seems that this place is still safe!"

This is the guarantee that Lei Lin dared to come out.

Although he agreed to be a member of the escort team, he would not do stupid things that would put himself in danger.

Through the chip, he could grasp the situation within a radius of 20 miles, which could also guarantee his safety to the greatest extent.
