Chapter 302: Doer Mountains
"Mr. Luo Qiu, I have long heard of your name."
As a qualified businessman, the skill of telling lies with true eyes is automatically maxed out.
The smile on Aber's face was so genuine that if you didn't know him, you would really think how much he admired Luo Qiu.
"What's the matter?" Luo Qiu asked directly.
"Ahem, um, I wanted to come and see if you need any service or anything..." Abel looked embarrassed.
"Service?" Luo Qiu looked at the fat man strangely. He felt like there was something else behind his words.
After all, he was the employer, so Luo Qiu didn't make things too difficult for him. He waved his hand and said, "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, my identity is not that complicated. You'll find out sooner or later, and I won't be in any trouble. I followed your convoy this time just to go to Hertzperola. If it weren't for those boring guys just now, I wouldn't have exposed myself."
Aber's face was obviously relaxed a little. No matter whether Luo Qiu was telling the truth or not, as a gold-level adventurer, he would not lie to himself.
After the two chatted casually for a while, Aber invited Luo Qiu to sit in his carriage. His carriage was a luxury version, much better than the one Luo Qiu was riding in.
Of course, his invitation was not successful. Seeing Luo Qiu's firm attitude, Aber said no more. He said goodbye and got off the carriage.
"I hope nothing serious happens."
Aber muttered to himself, but then he changed his mind and thought, with a gold-level adventurer protecting and escorting the shipment, maybe the cargo could be brought to Hertzperola intact. That doesn't seem like a bad idea, right?
With mixed feelings, Abel returned to his carriage.
The convoy continued to move forward as if the unpleasantness that had happened before had never happened.
In this way, seven or eight days passed, during which time some minor accidents occurred.
For example, when passing through a forest, a group of robbers suddenly appeared, shouting for money to pass through, but were taught a lesson by several silver-level adventurers. There was not even one robber who had cultivated fighting spirit, nor a magician. They were just a group of stronger ordinary people. The gold-level adventurers were too lazy to take action and just watched coldly. The silver-level adventurers fought ten of them at a time and easily defeated the robbers.
Not only have they encountered robbers, but they have also occasionally been attacked by monsters.
Giant goblins and lizardmen, two sub-human monsters, appeared in groups at night and surrounded the entire caravan silently.
Fortunately, the magician's detection magic discovered the clues and woke up all the sleeping adventurers. Led by the gold-level adventurers, they fought for most of the night before they wiped out this group of giant goblins and lizardmen.
There were a few other minor incidents, but they are not worth mentioning.
Anyway, under the protection of many adventurers, they passed through the area of the Kingdom of Alan safely. Next, they just need to pass through the Doe Mountains in front of them to reach their destination, Herzperola.
“Here we go again…”
Aber opened the carriage window and looked at the vast mountain range that stretched far away like a giant dragon with a complicated expression.
If this mountain range did not exist, his business would be at least 30% better, but this road was the only passage to Hertzperola. If he took a detour, he would have to cross a foreign country and spend nearly half a year, which was not practical.
There are many monsters in the Doe Mountains. It is said that the legendary monster Behemoth is sleeping in the deepest part of the mountains. It is a terrifying existence that can compete with dragons. Of course, there is no way to confirm whether this rumor is true, after all, no one has seen it.
"Let's go." Abel closed the car window and gave an order.
So, dozens of people marched towards the distant mountains.
The carriage made a gurgling sound as it moved on the soft soil. The adventurers who came to the Doe Mountains for the first time felt like they had entered a primeval forest. The towering trees blocked the sunlight, there was moss and wet dew everywhere, and the fishy smell of the soil was so strong that people couldn't help but frown.
It was not the first time for several gold-level adventurers to come to the Doe Mountains. They were fully aware of the steepness of the mountains and had gathered together with their teammates, always in a serious state of preparation. Of course, for them at the gold level, as long as they did not provoke the monsters in the deepest part, they would be safe.
Those low-level adventurers were even more nervous. Although some of them had never been here, they had more or less heard some rumors.
"There's going to be trouble."
Luo Qiu lay lazily in the carriage, enjoying the deep red massage and talking to himself.
"Master, I felt it too. That aura is very unstable. I'm afraid it will affect us. Do you want me to go over there?"
"That's not necessary. It looks like someone has offended that guy. It's really interesting. It looks like it's injured, so its aura is so unstable."
Shenhong didn’t quite understand what Luo Qiu said, but she roughly understood what Luo Qiu meant.
Wait and see.
Behemoth's existence is real, and that terrible creature has gone mad deep in the mountains. This is not good news for Aber's caravan.
After all, it is a monster of the same level as the 'Earth Violent Bear'. Even a Gold-level adventurer would have a hard time dealing with it. Unless a Glory-level team is dispatched, it would be impossible to defeat it.
Once a caravan encounters it, it would be good enough to save their lives, let alone the goods.
Of course, the premise of all this is that Luo Qiu and Shenhong do not take action.
"It's strange, why is there no monster at all?"
After walking for most of the day, the caravan encountered no monsters except some common wild beasts. The whole mountain range was eerily quiet. This abnormality made the faces of several experienced adventurers look serious.
They would rather be harassed by monsters from time to time than just walk on quietly.
On the contrary, Abel was very happy.
Abel thought that he was lucky this time, that he had a rare stroke of good fortune and was blessed by the gods.
Otherwise, how could the journey be so smooth, with even two gold-level adventurers joining in?
After so many days, Abel also found out Luo Qiu's identity, the adventurer 'Knight of Fiery Flame' and 'Princess of Bloodthorn' who were active in Kushiwa during the undead incident in the Blue Foot Plains.
Abel didn't know Mengli, but he heard that when in Kushiva, the 'Bloodthorn Princess' was always with the 'Flame Knight'. The 'Bloodthorn Princess' had amazing beauty and red hair. Coincidentally, these two appearance features also matched Crimson very well, so Abel confused them directly.
But these are not important. All Aber wants is the result. He began to pray that the next three days would be as smooth. In this way, there would be almost no loss in the transportation of materials, and he could make more than 30% profit out of thin air. This would definitely be a huge unexpected gain and could become his own private money.
Finally, I don’t have to ask my old hag for pocket money anymore.
Imagining that he would soon be financially free, Aber couldn't help but laugh out loud.
