Coiling Dragon, I am different and detached

Under the scorching sun, three 100-meter-high hills formed a concave shape, surrounding a four-meter-wide trade road.

This terrain has a very common name, but most people will be terrified: Red Silk Valley.

Red Silk Valley does not mean that there is a grain called "red silk" growing here.

Rather, in this valley, there is a group of robbers with red ribbons tied on their heads. They are called "Red Silk Bandits" by the outside world, and this place is also called "Red Silk Valley".

This is an important passage between Bidiya City and other cities. Caravans often pass through, and the target of the Red Silk Bandits is these caravans.

Of course, the Red Silk Bandits will not rob all caravans. Those that look difficult to provoke at first glance, the Red Silk Bandits will not touch them.

They find those caravans without guards or with few guards. They rob 30% of those with more goods and 40% of those with less goods. They live a very comfortable life.

However, on this day, the leader of the Red Silk Bandits suddenly found that a large number of people came to his territory, and many of these people were familiar to them.

These were all bandits from the nearby hills, but they had always been harvesting passing caravans in their own territory. Why did they all come to the Red Silk Valley this time?

Could it be that they were expelling themselves and others and wanted to seize and occupy this place?

However, did they forget that the reason why they could occupy the closest pass to Bidiya City was because they were the strongest among the bandits nearby?

Just when the leader of the Red Silk Bandits was puzzled, their scouts received news.

A large caravan of more than 40 carriages and more than 20 individual caravans behind the large caravan were rushing in this direction.

If nothing unexpected happens, this large caravan will arrive here at noon tomorrow.

After hearing this news, the leader of the Red Silk Bandits suddenly realized.

He knew what these neighbors wanted to do when they came here.

Sure enough, that night, more than a dozen bandit leaders entered the Red Silk Valley and reached a cooperation with the Red Silk Bandit leader.

...

A long dragon-like caravan was moving forward.

However, unlike the ease of the previous two days, today's guards all looked solemn.

Those scouts who followed the caravan had completely disappeared last night.

If nothing unexpected happens, everyone will meet again in the Red Silk Valley.

From time to time, the guards' eyes would look at the most gorgeous carriage in the caravan.

Everyone knows that the main reason why President Lu Qi was able to pull up this large caravan this time was because of that adult.

A sixth-level magician...

Although a sixth-level magician is still a little weaker when facing a seventh-level strongman.

However, before the seventh level, the magician's level is one level higher than the warrior by default. For warriors who have not reached the seventh level, a sixth-level magician is no different from a seventh-level strongman.

No, a level 6 magician is more terrifying than a level 7 warrior.

Because even if a level 7 warrior wants to kill someone, he must chop one sword at a time.

Even if he consumes a lot of Dou Qi and uses Dou Qi release, he can only kill a dozen people at most.

What about a level 6 magician?

A level 6 range magic will kill all those who are not level 7 warriors in the range, either dead or seriously injured.

And how many times can a level 6 magician release level 6 magic?

At least ten times!

In other words, in terms of killing efficiency, a level 6 magician is more than ten times that of a level 7 warrior.

However, because magicians are so powerful, most of them have been recruited by the Frost and Snow Empire and fought on the battlefield with the Temple of Light.

It is difficult for ordinary people to see magicians.

Because of this, Lu Qi resolutely pulled up a large caravan after getting Locke's promise.

Other businessmen are also willing to believe Lu Qi and Locke.

This is the deterrent power of a level 6 magician.

However, under normal circumstances, everyone rarely sees magicians.

After all, almost all the young men with water affinity in the Frost and Snow Empire will be sent to the Magic Academy for training, and after graduation, they will be incorporated into the legion to fight for the Frost and Snow Empire.

Perhaps on the battlefield, water magicians and light magicians are not everywhere, but across several teams, one or two military magicians can always be found.

Some of these guards or bandits are retired soldiers from the legion, and they are the ones who can best appreciate the power of magicians.

Time does not slow down the flow of anyone's subjective will. The convoy formed by President Lu Qi gradually approached the Red Silk Valley.

Then, the carriage in front stopped, and more than a dozen guards quickly ran to the front of the convoy, drew their weapons behind them, and looked forward solemnly.

At the end of everyone's vision, there were about a thousand people standing in the gully formed by the three mountains in front, staring at the entire convoy with a fierce look.

The movement in front was soon discovered by the merchants in the back. After causing a slight chaos, everyone quickly returned to calm under Lu Qi's comfort.

In addition, some of the guards of these merchants were also separated to defend the front, and the rest surrounded the carriage where Locke was.

Under the siege of so many bandits, the only person who could break the caravan was Lord Locke.

They must ensure that Lord Locke has enough time to chant the magic spell.

In front, a middle-aged man with a red scarf on his head strode forward and shouted loudly to the people in the caravan:

"Friends walking on this trade route, this is not the first time we have dealt with each other."

"My Red Silk Valley still follows the old rules."

"If you want to pass through my Red Silk Valley, you must leave 20% of the goods."

"However, there are a lot of guests coming to my Red Silk Valley today, so friends who want to pass through Red Silk Valley must leave 50% of the goods."

"Of course, in the name of my Red Silk Valley, all caravans that leave goods can safely pass through this trade route for a thousand miles!"

"What? 50% of the goods?"

When these merchants heard what the leader of the Red Silk Bandits shouted, they were so angry that they cursed.

"What do they want to do? They want 50% of our goods by passing through a Red Silk Valley? Why don't they just rob us?"

"Ahem, calm down, aren't they robbing us now?"

"What should we do now?"

"Hand over 50% of the goods?"

"How is that possible? If we hand over 50% of the goods, won't we lose everything?"

"Everyone calm down, although they are outnumbered, we still have Lord Locke here."

"Yes, yes, yes, we still have Lord Locke."

"President Lu Qi, go ask Lord Locke what we should do now?"
