Chapter 40 On the road

I only traveled like this for a few days. If it was not convenient to go out, Shaoke usually stayed in the car and couldn't get off. When I was tired, I lay in the car for a while, or read a book, and even when I went to bed at night, it was because there was no bigger town along the way, so it would be better to come in this carriage than to stay in someone else's house!

The merchant may be because the two of them had a deal at first! After the meal, they always chatted with Shaoke for a while. Although Shaoke was a little dissatisfied at the beginning, they didn't care after two days. After all, the merchant always vaguely guided Shaoke. He said: "Dear Master, my carriage has actually pulled many mages promoted on the border. They are not as reluctant to leave the soldiers like you. Every time the mage leaves, they look excited. After all, the environment here feels a bit difficult for ordinary people like us, let alone the noble mage!"

After several days of familiarity, after reaching a place a day away from the small town, some thin merchants touched Shaoke's carriage, hoping to have some conversation with Shaoke.

"What's the matter? Are you about to reach the small town ahead?" Shaoke asked with a big hard-cover book in his hand.

"Dear Master, I have one day left. Tonight we will go to the town ahead to rest. If we are on our way tomorrow morning, we will be able to reach the town ahead in the evening." The merchant replied softly: "I have sent a friend to the town ahead to prepare houses and dinner for everyone."

"Oh!" Shaoke responded indifferently. The merchant looked at the mage in front of him who had been shrouded in a layer of white mist all day long. The mage he met before could only talk to them for a while while they were excited. How could the mage he met calmly this time?

"Master, I actually have a daughter, who is also a magician, and she has been promoted to a formal mage before." The merchant excitedly told Shaoke about some of his family situation and hoped to have some more pleasant conversations.

"Is that true?" Shaoke was a little surprised. He did not expect that the merchant in front of him would have a mage's child, and he was also a daughter. To be honest, Shaoke saw few female mages in this other world. Even in the academy he studied, there were not many female mages. He didn't expect that he would meet the father of a female mage here so much.

"Yes, dear mage, she is also serving on this border. I advised her not to let her come here several times, but she is always disobedient and I can't control her." The merchant heard Shaoke's surprise and forced his excitement and pride. Fortunately, he had already told many mages who had just been promoted, and now he could control his emotions. Otherwise, he would not know what would happen if the mage in front of him felt that he was showing off too much. I heard that a mage ignited a carriage with him two years ago because of some small things. Fortunately, there was no goods on it, otherwise the loss would be great.

"Oh! Your daughter is also serving on this border? It seems that she feels sorry for you very much!" Shaoke suddenly knew what the businessman's daughter meant to do this, the border! When everyone knew that the businessman's daughter was a mage serving here, probably no one dared to make things difficult for this foreign merchant.

"Hehe!" The businessman in front of him rubbed his chilling hands with a little embarrassed, "Master, the cloak you are wearing is actually what I want to give to my daughter." After that, perhaps he felt a little embarrassed about his greed for money, and he laughed dryly for a few times.

Shaoke rolled his eyes helplessly, but fortunately the white fog blocked the other party and did not notice it, "Your daughter won't blame you, right!"

"No, I didn't tell her that I would bring her that cloak this time. Besides, it's all yours now, and it's useless to say anything, hehe!" The merchant touched the purse in his arms and said with some guilt.

Shaoke didn't know what he was talking to the other party for a moment, and the atmosphere became silent. He quickly rushed back from the small town in front and brought back the prepared news.

The caravan stopped in the town, but Shaoke still stayed in the carriage and did not go down to find a place to live. Shaoke opened the wooden window behind and let the cold wind pour in outside. Thinking of the merchant selling gifts to his daughter for a gold coin, he could more deeply understand the care of his parents and the future consumption of the mage.

The merchant came over again at night, looking a little excited: "Dear Master, my daughter is waiting for me in the small town in front of her. I have not seen her since she was promoted! I really don't know if she will complain about my father's irresponsibility now."

"My daughter is only twenty years old this year, she is so beautiful! She is very sensible. Unfortunately, her mother died early. I have been running around and I have not taken good care of her. She is the only one who takes care of her life. Alas! Even though she told me that she had been promoted, I still couldn't share her happiness in time for a few silver coins, so that she could walk so far away to the small town to wait for me alone. Alas!" The merchant muttered a little lowly. Shaoke knew that the merchant in front of me knew his mistake.

Shaoko felt a little sad, so he persuaded: "I believe your daughter will understand what you are doing now, and you don't have to complain about yourself."

"Yes! She is very sensible. She knows what I do for these things. After all, the consumption of mages will become larger and larger in the future. With the subsidies from the mage union or military headquarters, it cannot meet the needs of spell learning. Otherwise, her mother would not marry me at the beginning. Alas!" The merchant was a little helpless, but after a moment of pause, he raised his tone: "She is excellent. Yes, she is an excellent mage, better than her mother. I believe her mother is very happy with such things."

Shaoke listened attentively to the other party's conversation and did not interrupt, mainly because he didn't want to speak. However, the businessman's topic forced Shaoke to speak again.

The merchant asked presumptuously: "Dear Master, what should I call you?"

"You can call me Master Xueye." Although Shaoke didn't want to tell the other party his name, considering that he went to the town where he served for some inquiries, I believe many people would be happy to tell the other party his name.

"Dear Master Xueye, my name is Gore Walton, and my daughter is Francis Walton. I hope you can take care of her if you have the chance in the future. After all, she is still a child." The Walton businessman's begging eyes fell on Shaoko. It seemed that the work he did a few days ago was for this!

Shaoko was a little amused and crying, "Mr. Walton, you tell me your daughter's full name so safely? Is it true that every wizard you meet who is officially promoted will entrust your daughter to him?"

"Yes! Oh! No...hehe! Dear Master Xueye, I'm just worried that my daughter will suffer grievances when she arrives at the Emperor, so... I heard that there are too many high-level mages there. She is a newly promoted mage and will definitely suffer grievances wherever she goes, let alone a girl..." The Walton merchant said in a low voice for the reason she did this, and hoped that the mage whom she just knew could take care of her daughter.

"Okay, Mr. Walton, I will do my best to help her. After all, we are all mages promoted on the border." Shaoke sighed. He knew what the merchant in front of him was worried about. After all, he had heard about some situations in the imperial capital when he was in the academy. Most of the mages at almost a little higher level were concentrated in the imperial capital. It is conceivable that a low-level mage would definitely suffer some grievances when he came there. After all, it is not like an ordinary small town, and there is almost no mage.

Before dawn, the caravan set out. Shaoke found through the car window that there were more and more pedestrians on the road: caravans, large or small, groups of paired mercenaries, and civilians pushing trucks in scattered... I hardly heard the messy shouts, which made Shaoke, who was already used to the purity, suddenly experienced the lively environment again, and was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, after closing the car window, the impact outside was smaller, but Shaoke could not read books quietly again.

After nearly a day's trip, Shaoko and his caravan finally arrived at this northernmost small town. To be the case, it is a small town, but rather a small and sturdy military fortress. Of course, this is smaller than those in the south.

When passing the city gate, Shaoke took out his military certificate inside and easily entered this small town, which is both a fortress and a shopping mall. The merchant happily thanked Shaoke for his help, because with the military's proof, the cost of entering the city this time was exempted from the soldiers guarding the city according to the rules, although only one person was a copper coin.

The caravan slowly rushed to the hotel agreed by the Wharton Merchant and his daughter in the lively crowd. After getting off the bus, Shaoko got off the bus and walked straight to the room they had lived in before under the guidance of the Wharton Merchant. The work beside him was familiar with calling out the name of the Wharton Merchant, hoping to get some rewards from him. Although they knew that the chance of this was not high, they still had hope to make some extra money.

"Hey! You little sluts, hurry up, go and prepare the best room for this respected master. No, three, and the two around me will be settled. Master Zhu doesn't need to disturb you." The merchant shouted at these guys loudly, and explained to the people around him the situation of the Baiwu man beside him.

"Okay, Mr. Walton, there was a mage waiting in your room before! It is said that it was the daughter of the mage you used to say, but the other party was wearing a wide cloak, and I didn't see it clearly." The guy next to him told the merchant some of his situation.

"Okay! No! Prepare the best dinner for me. I need to entertain two masters." The merchant was stingy and did not throw it out even if it was a copper plate, but he ordered the best dinner to entertain his daughter and the mage he had known for a while.
