It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

Naturally, people without strength would not dare to become this bandit, because those convoys that trade with foreign countries usually hire a lot of caravan guards.

It is impossible for ordinary bandits to attack a convoy escorted by a caravan.

So it's okay not to encounter bandits. Once you encounter bandits on this trade road, you will definitely encounter a very powerful bandit.

If you want to ask why the Kingdom of Wikia does not send troops to control this section of the road, the reason can only be that these people took the risk to come to this road in order to pay less tax.

There are many ways to get to the Kingdom of Vecia and the largest city on the border, Art City, from other places.

However, there is only one main road patrolled by the kingdom's knights, and most caravans usually take this road for safety.

However, this road with state protection requires the payment of a large amount of taxes and fees. These fees are mainly used to pay the wages of the knights patrolling the checkpoints, and the remainder will be subsidized into the kingdom's treasury.

But there are always some people who choose to spend a little more money to hire better guards in order to make more money, and then take risks and choose a path without the protection of official knights.

This is the path that Weekley and others are taking.

Weikele has been taking this road since entering the border, and will continue to take this road in the future.

After all, his identity was unusual, and it would be too troublesome to check his identity at every turn if he took the official route.

And Weekly is not afraid of the dangers he encounters on the wild road.

A-level wizard, knight leader, and an elite guard from the Os Empire. How could such a combination go anywhere on the mainland?

Wade looked at the silent crowd and wondered if he had said the wrong thing.

He stood there and laughed: "That's right. How dare you take this path without some strength."

Those who dare to take this road have the confidence, otherwise they are simply seeking death, because there is a high probability that they will encounter bandits and bandits who kill without blinking an eye.

Of course, there are some people who, even if they cannot afford a good escort, still take the risk to take this road because the customs fees required to take the official road are too expensive.

This is understandable, but highly discouraged.

After all, everyone comes out to drive sports cars for money, and there are people who want to make more money without sacrificing their lives.

Isn't there a saying that if there is double the profit, a businessman will dare to take risks?

What's more, this small road that didn't exist in the first place but was trampled by many people was the road trampled by the smuggling convoy from the beginning.

In other words, there are only three situations for people who take this path.

One is that ordinary people want to make more money and take risks and choose this path.

One is to smuggle some prohibited items and be forced to bypass the checkpoint and choose this path.

There is another kind of person like Vickrey, who chose to take this path for various reasons.

But no matter which one it is, those who dare to take this path must have some confidence.

Therefore, the bandits who depend on this road for food are also having a hard time.

They call the process of robbing every day blind box opening.

What is meant by opening a blind box? It means that you don’t know what’s inside the box before you open it.

For example, a group of bandits just went to work today. They saw a caravan. This caravan had no guards and the carriages were very crude.

So the bandit didn't bother and let him go.

But in fact, it is very likely that this caravan did this on purpose.

Use a simple appearance to avoid others' attention. The carriage may be filled with luxury goods, such as protecting animal fur and so on.

It may also be a very luxurious fleet. Regardless of whether there is anything in the carriage, even if the wheels can be removed and sold, it can be sold for a lot of money.

Then the bandits attacked this luxury convoy, and then nothing happened.

Because the fleets that are too luxurious are usually from powerful forces, with top experts stationed on them, and one person can wipe out the bandits.

This is to open a blind box. In the bandit business, it depends on the weather. If you are lucky, you will be able to rob once and eat for a lifetime.

Unlucky enough, I broke down right after I started working.

Chapter 231 Food

But these people deserve no sympathy at all.

You have to be mentally prepared for whatever job you do. No job in this world is easy.

And if something happens to someone who chooses to take this path, Wiki

The Kingdom of Asia doesn’t care either.

In fact, they sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress this area many years ago.

At that time, the encirclement and suppression was okay, but once the army left here, it would return to its original state.

So the king decided to station the army directly here.

But I didn't expect that this road was regarded as death by the army, and those opportunistic people actually took another road.

This gave King Weixia a very headache. He couldn't garrison all the troops in this area, and that would cost a lot of energy.

And even if the ground is banned, some things will still flow into the national market from the sky or waterways.

This kind of thing is obviously not prohibited, so the king simply turns a blind eye.

The road is also reserved for those people, but they will be cleaned regularly.

Under the king's regular cleaning, very few people in the Kingdom of Vekia became bandits.

But there are still people from other countries joining.

If there is benefit, people will flock to it. This is an eternal truth.

Nim held the chopped firewood in her arms, and then came to Vickery with an expressionless face.

At this moment, Vickery was still immersed in reading a book. He leaned against the carriage and waited quietly for lunch to be ready.

Then Nim came and stood beside him.

"What's wrong?" Vickery moved the book away. The height difference allowed him to look down at Nimue. He moved the book away just in time to see her.

Nim stood there and tried her best to pass the match to Vickrey, her face still had the same expressionless look.

From this point of view, she is very similar to Vickery, who doesn't express his inner emotions very much.

But Vickrey has a lot of psychological activities, and of course Nimue has a lot of psychological activities.

The petite Nimu spoke softly with a voice without any emotion and a slightly commanding tone. Her voice sounded small and cute, "Fire!" she said.

After hearing this, Vickery realized what this little guy was here for.

"..." Vickery was speechless.

It seems that the little guy has regarded himself as a useful fire-making machine...

Originally, she didn't want to talk to Nimu in front of her, but the wooden root held up high by the opponent was about to hit her face.

Vickrey reluctantly moved the stick away, "Don't continue, I understand."

As he spoke, he held out a finger, and flames burned on his finger.

The flame looks orange on the surface, but contains some dark colors inside.

And although it is only the size of a small flame, it can make people feel his extremely high temperature.

"I really didn't realize it, sir, you are still a wizard!"

Wade, who was looking around with nothing to do, couldn't help showing an envious look on his face when he saw flames coming out of Vickery's fingers.

Because the existence of wizards is much less than that of knights.

Knights are those who charge into battle. Although there are also very noble Templar knights, they are only special units found in churches. They have long-range attack capabilities that are not inferior to wizards.

But the average knight is just a rough man, wearing a strong steel armor, and then carrying an extremely heavy sword, slashing in the midst of thousands of troops, covering his body with blood.

Not as elegant and calm as a wizard at all.

Especially from the perspective of national war, the value of wizards is far greater than that of knights.

If both knights and wizards are A-level, the country would rather lose two A-level knights than one A-level wizard.

After all, who can resist the role of a mage who raises his hand and is a map cannon?

"I just scratch the surface."

Hearing Wade's compliment, Vickery replied calmly.

Under his special flame with extremely high temperature, the wood ignites almost instantly and burns blazingly, as if no matter how strong the wind is, it cannot extinguish it.

"Sir, you are so polite. It can be seen from your flames that your strength is definitely not superficial. If it were placed in some small countries, you could be a palace wizard!"

Wade still praised without hesitation.

In his opinion, wizards deserved praise.

Unlike knights who can improve their strength as long as they exercise, wizards need to read many, many books while exercising their physical fitness.

Anyway, Wade doesn't like reading. Compared with boring things, he prefers to slash with a long sword.

However, Vickery was able to look in with peace of mind and was reading a book there now.

This made Wade very envious. Others were accompanied by two beautiful girls, and they did not choose to live and drink, but chose to improve themselves.

Wade, on the other hand, wants to drink when he has some money, and only when he has no money will he think of ways to spend money.

This time he went to Yate City to get money. He planned to personally hunt the vampire for whom a reward of one thousand yara had been put on his head.

But what he didn't know was that Vickrey's purpose in going to Art City was the same vampire as him.

Weekley was not in the mood to listen to other people's praises. He had been in a high position for many years and had heard such praises many times. Moreover, he was not the kind of person who would forget about himself when he was praised.

After reading the book for a while, Weekly felt that he had thoroughly understood this divine magic book.

But this is just his feeling. Because knowledge is abstract, he is not sure whether he can do it or not.

Row.

The only thing worthy of recognition is that the system functions in this area very well.

"System, let's see how long it takes for me to learn the divine magic Yaoyang."

[Answering the host, the current understanding progress of the divine magic Yaoyang has reached 90.00%. The host only needs to use the Master's Heart again to completely learn this magic]

"Well, very good!" Vickery nodded with satisfaction.

Thanks to him still studying the path alone when he didn't have the heart of a master, he is now making rapid progress.

Just as Vickrey was getting happier, Nimu raised her voice and shouted: "It's time to eat!"

"What's the time for dinner!?" Wade couldn't understand.

He couldn't understand why the rice could be cooked so quickly. It was still cooking on the pot a few minutes ago, but why the meal was called after a few minutes.

In such a short time, the soup probably wouldn't even be hot. How could the potatoes be cooked?

A whole potato takes less than half an hour to cook.

But he didn't expect that when Nim opened the lid of the pot, he did smell a very pleasant smell.

Wade knew this smell. He had eaten this kind of food before, so he knew what it was as soon as he smelled it.

That's just a plain pot of boiled potatoes! .

Chapter 232 Strange News

Yes, it was just an ordinary pot of boiled potatoes, but the aroma coming out of the pot was extremely rich.

"Which one, can I have some too, I'm willing to pay for it!"

Wade walked up to Nimue and spoke, his eyes full of love and expectation, enough to tell that this pot of potatoes did indeed suit his appetite inexplicably.

Hearing this, Nimu didn't speak, or even raised her head.

This made Wade, who had just finished speaking, a little embarrassed.

"Beautiful lady, please allow me to use money to buy some food from you."

"No, this is for Master Willie."

Being interrupted again by the other party, Nim couldn't help but speak.

After hearing what Nim said, Wade was too embarrassed to stand here again. He could only swallow while retreating, biting the dry food in his hand and watching eagerly.

Although potatoes are also a very common food, for demon slayers who often travel across the continent, they spend most of their time on the road.
