From Wild Mage to Wizard King

The bright sunshine shines on the earth through the gaps between the leaves.

As the breeze blows, the leaves sway, and the scattered light spots on the ground also sway.

In the woods, a caravan was moving slowly along the dirt road.

This is a caravan of nearly a hundred people, not particularly large, but not small either.

The members of the caravan were chatting easily as they moved along the dirt road.

In this relaxed environment, the consigned animals were also a little lazy, swaying their tails slowly and walking leisurely while pulling the goods.

Due to the good relations between Jiuqi and other surrounding forces and the dual policy of force and money to clear the way, the business environment in the area around Jiuqi can be said to be the best environment in the entire Dongnar.

Basically, all the territories that the Old Qi army can reach do not dare to challenge the order established by the Old Qi.

In the beginning, Jiuqi largely relied on the power of force, but as the environment stabilized and the number of caravans increased, the local forces that benefited from it became more active and less resistant.

Therefore, the caravans coming and going now will only encounter some scattered bandits who pose no threat at most. They will not encounter some big thieves who dominate the mountain like other places, nor will they encounter bandits disguised as bandits. local army.

Even though it is said that Jiuqi seems to be in chaos due to some reforms, the safety of ordinary people and caravans is still very high, and there is almost no news of anyone or caravans being killed.

It is precisely because of these reasons that this caravan is so lax.

However, although the caravan was relatively lax, behind the Chamber of Commerce, a large group of refugees following the caravan were not so lax.

Although due to the refugee policy of Jiuqi, the chambers of commerce coming and going will take the initiative to gather refugees and provide them with a mouthful of food to ensure that they can follow the caravan and at the same time not have too much power to cause trouble.

The caravan drove them to follow the caravan like cattle.

Although the caravan's attitude towards them is not very good, they will not care about them except to provide them with food to survive and maintain basic order.

However, these fleeing refugees were not qualified to choose. Between the two choices of starving to death or following the caravan, they chose the caravan.

However, the treatment of babies is relatively better.

Since the baby was worth as much as several strong refugees in Jiuqi, the caravan specially arranged a large carriage to house the baby and its mother.

The caravan even hired several wet nurses to take care of the abandoned babies picked up by the caravan.

This is not how kind the caravan is, it is just to prevent these high-value goods from dying due to poor care.

A knight wearing a set of armor and riding a horse ran past the refugees and returned to the caravan.

Under the familiar gaze of the caravan members, the speed of his horses slowly slowed down, and finally merged into the slow progress of the caravan.

The knight on the war horse took off his helmet, and some hot air flew out of it.

"call."

Feeling the cool breeze, the knight took a deep breath.

When the knight took a deep breath, with a sound breaking through the air, an object was thrown over, and at the same time, a voice came from the side.

"I said, Veron, there's no need to be so serious. There's nothing big going on. Can't you just take a look?"

The knight named Veron caught the thrown object, a kettle.

He didn't answer. He opened the kettle and took a few sips. Then he turned to look at his companion, threw the kettle back, and replied calmly.

"Being idle is also idle. It's always better to be serious."

After hearing his words, Edison took the kettle, shrugged, and said slowly.

"Don't think so much. It's not you who caused these refugees. We just need to ensure that not too many people die before they are sent to their destination."

"I know."

Veron nodded and responded.

After a moment of silence, Veron spoke again.

"Tell me, why does Jiuqi accept so many refugees?"

"Who knows."

Addison said casually.

"Perhaps they have endless food like the rumors say and can feed everyone?"

As he said that, Edison himself laughed.

Veron touched his chin and said hesitantly.

"There may not be endless food, but it should be true that there is a lot of food. Otherwise, how could they accept refugees and sell food at the same time? Moreover, I heard that the Lord is still on the Eastern Expedition. "

After hearing Veron's words, Edison put away his smile, looked at him with some surprise, and said hesitantly.

"It is said that the lord of Jiuqi is a wizard, and the food seems to be made with witchcraft. However, this is the first time I have heard of witchcraft that can produce food."

"It's unlikely that there is such witchcraft. I believe they found some big granary."

"It's not impossible."

Veron replied.

"Forget it, maybe we'll know the answer when we get to Jiu Qi."

Addison shook his head and tried to end the topic.

"Um."

Veron also nodded. Rumors are just rumors after all. If you want to know the real situation, you still have to go and see for yourself.

Anyway, they were just temporary guards hired by the caravan. When they arrived at Old Qi, they would be free. They would know when they went there.

As the caravan moved, many rumors about Old Qi quickly spread to most of the United Army, and even the legends about Old Qi spread to Sinar.

Whether good or bad, Old Qi left a deep impression on almost everyone who had been to Old Qi.

However, due to the distortion in information transmission, the image of Old Qi in the legend was also different.

Some people said that Old Qi was no different from an ordinary city, but they didn't know why there was so much food, which led to them maintaining basic order and stability.

Some people said that Old Qi was a booming city, and a large amount of construction was turning Old Qi into a new great city. Moreover, the people of Old Qi were warm and friendly and welcomed any outsiders.

Others said that Old Qi was a prison controlled by an evil wizard. Under the whip of the evil wizard, everyone was enslaved and engaged in endless labor. There were no entertainment venues in the city, not even simple taverns, casinos, and prostitutes.

Not only all the wealth is firmly controlled by the evil wizard, but also daily walking, language and behavior are controlled by the wizard. If you violate it, you will be whipped or even executed.

It is said that the evil wizard who controls Old Qi accepts refugees in order to conduct evil witchcraft experiments.

In short, there are many rumors about Old Qi, some say it is heaven, some say it is hell, and some say it is just an ordinary city.

Although Belon and Edison also tried to ask people in the caravan who had been to Old Qi, most of them just showed a mysterious smile and said they would know when they arrived.
