Panlong, I am known for my magic

Obviously, the bandits have already formed an alliance and will attack the convoy once it leaves Bidiya city a hundred miles away.

Maybe, right now, the bandits are already ready a hundred miles away, waiting for the convoy to arrive so they can start unloading the goods.

At this moment, seeing the dozen or so blatant scouts around him, even President Lu Qi felt a little panicked.

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

Now, President Luci could only pray in his heart that Captain Locke was strong enough to intimidate those bandits.

The expressions of the individual merchants following the caravan 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 we encounter a situation like the current one, we need to weigh the pros and cons for ourselves.

If the Chamber of Commerce ahead had the strength to repel the bandits, they would be able to make a fortune.

But if even the Chamber of Commerce in front was looted by bandits, they would not be able to escape.

Of course, death is impossible, and the robbers still hope that they will continue to pass by and deliver goods to them next time.

If the bandits kill merchants, once the news gets out, this trade route will either be destroyed, or more merchants will quickly raise gold coins and issue a bounty, sending mercenaries to eliminate the bandits on the trade route.

In the end, none of the individual merchants withdrew.

After all, there aren't many opportunities like this to follow a large caravan.

Once or twice a year at most.

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

With such complicated emotions in mind, a group of nearly seventy carriages continued to move slowly along the trade route.

At night, the caravan found a relatively spacious place to stay.

That day, the entire caravan traveled about forty miles.

If the caravan continues at this speed, the day after tomorrow at the latest will bring it into contact with the first powerful force.

"Lord Locke, I've brought you dinner."

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

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

"Oh? Thank you so much, President Luchi."

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

Locke smiled and took the square plate from President Luqi's hand. However, to Locke's surprise, because President Luqi did not let go, he was unable to take the square plate from President Luqi's hand.

"President Luchi?"

Confused, Locke looked up at President Luci.

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

"Well, Lord Locke, today alone, the guards discovered more than seventeen bandit scouts..."

"Look..."

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

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 bandits, it doesn't matter how many come to me."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes, I overthink it."

"Master Locke, please have a good rest."

After hearing Locke's words, Luqi felt relieved.

Although he was skeptical about what Locke said, at this point, Luci had no choice but to believe Locke.

After watching Luci leave, Locke returned to the carriage carrying the square tray.

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

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

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

In terms of taste, the pancake in Locke's hand was definitely not as delicious as the exquisite meal that President Luchi had just brought.

However, this is dry food made by Locke himself, so its safety is guaranteed.

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

It would be good if nothing happened. If something really happened, it would be too late to regret.

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

Recently, as long as his mental strength is restored, Locke will maintain a state of "harmony between man and nature" to slowly comprehend the mysteries of the laws, and let the mysteries of the laws between heaven and earth temper his mental strength.

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

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

Chapter 10 Red Silk Valley

Under the scorching sun, three hundred-meter-high hills formed a concave shape, surrounding a commercial road more than four meters wide.

This terrain has a very common name, but most people will shudder at the mention of it: Red Silk Valley.

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

Instead, in this canyon, there is a group of bandits 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, and caravans often pass through here. The Red Silk Bandits target these caravans.

Of course, the Red Silk Bandits would not rob every caravan. They would not even touch those that looked difficult to deal with at first glance.

The caravans they targeted were those with no guards or few guards. They would rob 30% of those with a lot of cargo and 40% of those with a little cargo. They lived a very comfortable life.

However, on this day, the leader of the Red Silk Bandits suddenly discovered that large numbers of people had come to their territory, and many of these people were familiar to them.

These are all bandits from the nearby hills. They have always only robbed passing caravans in their own territories. Why did they all come to the Red Silk Valley this time?

Could it be that they wanted to expel me and others and seize and occupy this place?

However, have they forgotten that the reason they were able to occupy the closest pass to Bidiya City is because they are the strongest among all the bandits in the vicinity?

Just when the Red Silk Bandit leader was puzzled, news came from their scouts.

A large caravan of more than 40 carriages, and a caravan of more than 20 individual carriages behind the large caravan, were heading in this direction.

If nothing goes wrong, this large caravan will arrive here at noon tomorrow.

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

He knew what these neighbors were trying to do by coming here.

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

……

A long convoy of cars is moving forward.

However, unlike the relaxed atmosphere of the previous two days, the guards today all had serious expressions.

The scouts that followed the convoy completely disappeared last night.

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

From time to time, the guards' eyes would look at the most magnificent carriage in the convoy.

Everyone knows that the main reason why President Luqi was able to organize this large caravan this time was because of the existence of that adult.

A sixth-level magician...

Although the level 6 magician is still a little weak when facing a level 7 strongman.

However, before reaching level seven, a magician's level is one level higher than a warrior by default. For warriors who have not reached level seven, a level six magician is no different from a level seven warrior.

No, a level six magician is more terrifying than a level seven warrior.

Because even if he is a level seven warrior, if he wants to kill someone, he has to chop with his sword one by one.

Even if he consumed a large amount of his fighting spirit and used tactics like releasing his fighting spirit, he could only kill a dozen people at most.

What about the sixth level magician?

When a level six range magic is cast, anyone within the range who has not reached the level seven level of warrior will be seriously injured if not killed.

And how many times can a sixth-level magician cast sixth-level magic?

At least ten times!

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

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

It is difficult for ordinary people to see a magician.

Because of this, after getting Locke's promise, Luqi resolutely formed a large convoy.

Other businessmen were also willing to believe Luci and Locke.

This is the deterrent power of a sixth-level magician.

However, under normal circumstances, people rarely see magicians.

After all, almost all the young men in the Frost and Snow Empire who have an affinity for water will be sent to magic academies 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, you can always find one or two military magicians.

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

Time does not slow down according to anyone's subjective will. The convoy formed by President Luqi gradually approached the Red Silk Valley.

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