Coiling Dragon, I am different and detached

However, sometimes, being too dazzling is not a good thing.

As a student who received nine years of compulsory education in the Flower Planting Family in his previous life, Locke knew well the fables such as "a tall tree attracts the wind" and "the first bird to stick out gets shot".

If he comes out to make a fuss before he has enough power to protect himself, he might as well think his life is too long.

Whether it is the Frost and Snow Empire or the Temple of Light, Locke is not afraid to speculate on people's hearts with the greatest malice.

He does not think that after his death, he will have enough luck to fight his way out of the undead world in the underworld, ascend to the realm of God and live a second life.

As the caravan moved forward, everyone was relatively relaxed.

After all, they have not left the sphere of influence of Bidiya Territory yet, and those bandits can only send scouts to inquire about the news of the caravan at most.

If those bandits dare to rob within a hundred miles of Bidiya City, it will be a provocation to Bidiya City.

At that time, the army of Bidiya City will teach these bandits how to behave.

However, not only the guards in the caravan, but even the scattered caravans following behind the caravan have discovered that the number of scouts around them is gradually increasing. Moreover, from hiding in the dark at the beginning, some people no longer hide and follow openly.

Obviously, the bandits have completed the alliance and will attack the caravan as soon as the caravan leaves Bidia City a hundred miles away.

Maybe, now a hundred miles away, those bandits have already set up their positions and will start unloading the goods as soon as the caravan arrives.

At this moment, seeing the dozen or so blatant scouts around, even President Lu Qi felt a little panic in his heart.

However, as the organizer of the caravan, President Lu Qi also knew that if he showed a little bit of anxiety at this moment, without waiting for a hundred miles, these caravan presidents who paid protection fees and followed him around would definitely divide everything they had as soon as possible to make up for their losses.

Now, President Lu Qi can only pray in his heart that Captain Locke is strong enough to deter those bandits.

The faces of the individual merchants following the caravan have also changed.

Some people have begun to hesitate whether to continue following the caravan.

For individual merchants, they do not have enough money to hire guards, so they are very likely to be attacked by bandits and monsters on the road.

In order to make a living, they usually follow some large chambers of commerce. In this way, after the large chambers of commerce defeat the bandits and monsters, the danger they encounter will be much smaller.

However, if you encounter a situation like the current one, you need to weigh the pros and cons yourself.

If the chamber of commerce in front has the strength to repel the bandits, they can make a lot of money.

But if even the chamber of commerce in front is robbed by bandits, they will not be spared.

Of course, death is impossible, and those bandits still hope that they will continue to pass by to deliver goods to themselves next time.

If the bandits killed the merchants, as long as the news got out, this trade route would either be ruined, or more merchants would soon raise gold coins to issue a bounty, and let the mercenaries come to eliminate the bandits on the trade route.

In the end, none of the individual merchants withdrew.

After all, there are really not many opportunities to follow the big caravan.

There are only one or two times a year at most.

If they missed this time, who knows if they will have a chance to leave the city today?

In such a complicated mood, a group of nearly seventy carriages continued to move forward slowly on the trade route.

At night, the caravan found a relatively wide foothold to stay.

In this day, the entire caravan traveled about forty miles.

If it continues at this speed, the caravan will come into contact with the first wave of powerful forces at most the day after tomorrow.

"Lord Locke, I'm bringing you dinner."

In the gorgeous carriage, Locke was about to take out food from the space ring when he heard the voice of President Lu Qi.

Locke opened the curtain of the carriage and saw President Luqi holding a red square plate with three side dishes and a bowl of rice on it.

"Oh? Thank you very much, President Luqi."

"That's right, I'm a little hungry too."

Locke took the square plate from President Luqi with a smile, but to Locke's surprise, because President Luqi didn't let go, he couldn't take the square plate from President Luqi's hand.

"President Luqi?"

Puzzled, Locke looked up at President Luqi.

President Luqi looked a little embarrassed and anxious. He opened his mouth and finally squeezed out a few words.

"Well, Lord Locke, just today, the guards found more than seventeen bandit scouts..."

"Look..."

"Hahaha, don't worry, President Luqi."

After listening to President Luqi's words, Locke also understood what President Luqi was worried about, and chuckled: "President Luqi, no matter what, I am also a military magician who has participated in nearly a hundred wars in the Fifth Legion."

"As long as there are no strong men above level seven among these robbers, it doesn't matter how many come to me."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, I think too much."

"Lord Locke, have a good rest."

After hearing Locke's words, Lu Qi was relieved.

Although he was skeptical about what Locke said, Lu Qi could only believe Locke now.

After watching Lu Qi leave, Locke returned to the carriage with the square plate.

With a thought, the square plate in Locke's hand disappeared.

The next moment, a pancake appeared in Locke's hand.

With his eyes closed, Locke bit the pancake in his hand in small bites.

In terms of taste, the pancake in Locke's hand is definitely not as delicious as the exquisite food that President Lu Qi just sent.

However, this is the dry food that Locke made by himself, and it is safe.

When he goes out, Locke will not eat anything given by others.

It's good if nothing happens. If something really happens, it will be too late to regret it.

With a wave of his hand, Locke released a third-level water defense magic around him, then closed his eyes and began to meditate and refine his magic power.

Recently, as long as his mental power recovered, Locke would maintain the state of "unity of man and nature" to slowly comprehend the mysteries of the laws, and let the mysteries of the laws between heaven and earth to temper his mental power.

In this way, Locke's mental power improvement speed naturally far exceeded the speed of meditation.

In order to prevent his magic power from lagging behind his mental power too much, Locke did not practice mental power during meditation, but accelerated the recovery of mental power, and then captured more water elements between heaven and earth and refined them into his own magic power.
