What bad thoughts can a paladin have?

Chapter 50
Two hours passed quickly.

Following the shouts of the team leader, the merchants ended their transactions in Fanlin Town, put away their stalls, and put bridles on the cows and horses.

The guys climbed into the cart, yelled loudly, and drove the carriage slowly towards the outside of the town.

For the caravan, this scene has gone through so many times that it is as orderly as a machine.

Ren followed the caravan on a Celestial Warhorse, and Angelica followed Ren on a pony.

Just before departure, Ren asked about Angelica, only to find that she hadn't bought a horse for transportation, so he hurriedly dragged her to the only mule store in the town.

Miss Ranger looked at the expensive price, and under Ren's persuasion, she finally frowned and chose the cheapest pony, which only cost 30 Golden Eagle coins.

In fact, the girl originally didn't want to spend this little money.

In her mind, sharing a ride with a paladin is the cheapest and most romantic way, but...

This guy in front of him doesn't understand style at all!

snort!
Thinking of this, Miss You Xia felt a little resentful in her heart.

However, when she turned her head and looked back at Fanlin Town, which was getting smaller and smaller in her field of vision, a sense of melancholy rose in her heart.

She didn't know when she could return here again, and in what way.

This place where she was born and raised.

The melancholy of a girl comes and goes quickly.

As time passed, her attention was gradually attracted by the wilderness and sparse trees on both sides of the road.

Above the wilderness, the aura of wildness made her feel very novel.

"Ren, will we encounter wild creatures like jackals?"

Angelica drove the pony to Ren's side and asked in a low voice.

Before Ren could speak, there was a burst of hearty laughter from a distance.

"Little girl, we haven't gone out of the range of Fanlin Town yet, so it's unlikely that we will meet those dirty guys on the road, but it might be possible if we are a little further away."

The caravan leader Sodick came to the two of them riding a large military dog, and explained for Angelica with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Sodick."

Ren nodded to the halfling and added:

"You can see that the road under your feet is still smooth, which means that Fanlin Town can repair it, which means that the militiamen of Fanlin Town can come here. Wilderness creatures like gnolls are used to bullying the weak and fear the hard. I won't even chew on it."

Now less than five kilometers away from Fanlin Town, how dare these wilderness creatures stroke the beards of humans at such a close distance!

The halfling agreed with Ren's analysis very much, and at the same time took a high look at the paladin from this small town.

Not everyone has this insight!
"After passing the mountain in front, the caravan will stop to rest for a while, and prepare dinner at the same time. Two, do you want to try the halfling's food?"

Sodick smiled and made the invitation.

"Then respect is worse than obedience. Regarding halfling food, my ears are almost callused, but I don't have the chance to taste it myself."

Ren laughed and said.

"I reckon that after dinner, the guards of the caravan should also start to get busy."

"Don't worry, I, Sodick, will cook myself, and I won't disappoint you two."

Hearing Rennes praise the food of his own race, Sodick was obviously in a very happy mood.

"However, from your tone of voice, Ren, it seems that you have an extraordinary understanding of how to make a living in the wilderness?"

Facing the halfling's temptation, Ren waved his hands, his face slightly sad.

"These are all scattered bits and pieces that my father told me before his death. He once left Fanlin Town alone and went on a trip. Unfortunately, when he came back, he had..."

"Oh, I'm sorry my friend for reminding you of sad times."

The halfling reached out and patted Ren's thigh, with a hint of apology in his tone.

Well, he is too short to pat the paladin's shoulder, so he can only pat the thigh instead.

"It's okay, it's all over."

Ren shook his head, suppressing the smile in his heart.

He had never seen his father!

The reason why he is so familiar with the wilderness is because when he was a player in his previous life, in order to earn his first pot of gold, he and his companions robbed caravans traveling in the wilderness countless times!
However, at that time, he was still a weak fighter, and had nothing to do with a paladin.

…………

As it got closer to the mountain depression in Halfling's mouth, the width of the road narrowed sharply, and the trees on both sides of the road also changed from sparse to dense, and there were even one or two mournful and long howling wolves from a distance.

Even if you look around, you can hardly see any traces of civilized villages.

They have been far away from civilized society, and really stepped into the dangerous and bloody wilderness!

Even if human civilization has taken the lead, even if magic technology has gradually emerged, even if there are countless professionals in the intelligent race, they can only control the range of [-] kilometers around the city. The loss outweighs the gain.

This is still a big city, and for a small town like Fanlin Town, it is already very good if it can control the surrounding range of ten to fifteen kilometers.

At the same time, the guards of the caravan gradually became more serious.

They spontaneously divided into three teams, one team was responsible for protecting the caravan, the other team scouted the surrounding area, and the other team scouted the road ahead.

Fortunately, the entire caravan passed through the one-mile-long mountain pass without any risk.

"parking!"

shouted the halfling standing on the roof of the cart.

"Let's go here today, everyone set up camp and rest, and continue to set off tomorrow!"

When Sodick turned over from the carriage, a weathered businessman walked to his side and asked in a low voice:
"Master Sodick, it's still early before the sun goes down, why don't you continue to move forward?"

Sodick's expression became faintly serious.

"My premonition tells me that going forward, something bad is going to happen."

As soon as these words came out, the businessman's face suddenly changed.

No one in the caravan dared to underestimate the intuition of the little leader. Several times, it was because of his intuition that the caravan avoided the possibility of mass casualties.

"Sodik, if you say that, then everyone in the caravan must be vigilant, and the number of people on duty tonight will be doubled!"

The businessman said in a serious tone.

"Well, tell everyone to be careful when they sleep at night and not take off their clothes in case of an emergency. After dinner, I will ask Captain Dwight to take the rangers and thieves to explore the front Case."

While the two were talking, the caravan had already set up camp in an orderly manner.

The guys unloaded the carts from the cows and horses, simply formed a circle, and drove the cows and horses to another place for placement.

Under the leadership of Sodick, the chefs drew water and lit a fire to prepare dinner.

The caravan guards began to deploy night watchmen while setting up the cordon.

The guard captain Dwight's expression was not relaxed, he had already been informed of Sodick's words just now, even though he had experienced many storms, his heart was still heavy.

Ren and Angelica's waterproof tents were set up on the outside of the carriage.They are not members of the caravan and are not entitled to maximum protection.

Ren didn't have anything to say about this, but silently packed up the things that should be used for camping, and spread the blanket for sleeping at night.

Time passed little by little.

Soon, the chefs were preparing the food.

At this moment, Sodick came outside Ren's tent and extended an invitation with a smile.

"Young paladin, would you like to try the halfling's delicious mushroom soup?"
