Chapter 8 Caravan
"Lord Locke, you are here."
When Locke arrived at the Chamber of Commerce, an old man came up to him with a smile and a bent body.
"I'm sorry, President Lu Qi, I was delayed by something and kept you waiting."
"No, no, it's my honor to be cared for by Lord Locke."
"I have prepared a carriage for you, Lord Locke. Please come in quickly."
President Luqi smiled and led Locke to a very gorgeous-looking carriage, pulled aside the curtain, and said to Locke: "Master Locke, take a look at this carriage. Are you satisfied?"
"If you are not satisfied, I will have someone prepare it again."
"President Lu Qi, this carriage is already very good in my opinion, so there is no need to bother any more."
Hearing Locke's words, President Luci was obviously relieved.
"Then Lord Locke, I won't disturb your rest."
"Well, President Lu Qi, if you need anything along the way, you can come to me directly."
"Hahahaha, thank you, Lord Locke."
President Lu Qi laughed. Didn’t he do so much just for this sentence?
The Luchi Chamber of Commerce was the chamber of commerce that Locke had asked to deliver a letter home for him.
The Frost and Snow Empire is huge.
After all, this was a super empire established by gods and unified an entire dimension.
That is, more than a hundred years ago, the gods of the Temple of Light broke into the Wakanda plane, established the Temple of Light, and launched a conquest with the Frost Empire to compete for faith. Only four layers of the Frost Empire's territory were occupied.
But even so, the Frost and Snow Empire, which occupies more than half a dimension, is no smaller than the Blue Star where Locke lived in his previous life.
Locke's hometown is in Enbo Territory.
Like the Bidya Territory, the Embo Territory is also the territory of the Duke of the Frost and Snow Empire.
Embo, like Bidya, is a holy place that has been around for hundreds of years.
It would take at least a month to get from Bidiya Territory to Embo Territory even if Locke tried his best.
However, since he has decided to be a free man, Locke does not want to treat himself badly.
Living in the open air does sound fascinating, but Locke, who has already experienced a month of escape, does not want to experience that kind of life again, so he contacted the Chamber of Commerce that wanted to go to Enbo Territory and asked for a ride.
Coincidentally, the Luchi Chamber of Commerce, which had delivered a letter to Locke, approached Locke after learning that Locke wanted to return to Enbo Territory, hoping to get Locke's care.
After all, in order to get the Luchi Chamber of Commerce to help him deliver the letter, Locke showed his legion badge.
A sixth-level magician, in some cases, has more deterrent power than an average seventh-level warrior.
After all, the magician's attack range and the warrior's attack range are simply not comparable.
With Locke, the sixth-level magician, taking care of them, the Luchi Chamber of Commerce would be able to bring in many more valuable goods.
Maybe the gains from this business trip will be enough to match the Chamber of Commerce’s income in more than a year.
All the Luchi Chamber of Commerce needs to do is to prepare a luxurious carriage for Locke and serve him well with delicious food and drinks along the way.
In the following period of time, Luqi began to contact other chambers of commerce that were interested in going to Enbo Territory.
However, because Locke is in charge of the Luchi Chamber of Commerce, other chambers of commerce that want to take advantage of this trip need to pay the Luchi Chamber of Commerce a certain amount of compensation.
Soon, Lu Qi and his group had completed the discussion, and the Chamber of Commerce set off.
If you count carefully, there are almost forty carriages loaded with goods lined up in a long queue and set off towards Enbo.
Around these carriages, more than a hundred warriors were patrolling back and forth. Although there were no level 7 warriors among these warriors, the lowest were all intermediate warriors above level 3.
Such a large caravan is bound to attract many people's attention.
Some shrewd businessmen, after finding out the destination of the caravan, quickly purchased some goods and followed the caravan in their horse-drawn carriages from a distance.
In the eyes of these people, anyone who dares to form such a large convoy must be escorted by strong people.
Following behind this convoy, we and others will be safer.
After the caravan left the city, more than 20 carriages loaded with goods followed sparsely behind the caravan of more than 40 vehicles.
Of course, because these people behind did not pay Luchi, once they got close to the convoy headed by the Luchi Chamber of Commerce, they would be expelled by the caravan guards.
After all, no one wants to give to others for nothing and be laughed at in secret.
Such a large caravan not only attracted individual merchants, but also attracted the bandit forces gathered between the Bidiya Territory and the Embo Territory.
Along the way, many people in the convoy could see human figures flashing from time to time in the mountains and forests beside the road.
However, whether it is the luxury convoy headed by the Luchi Chamber of Commerce in the front, or the convoy of more than 20 vehicles a kilometer behind the Luchi Chamber of Commerce, they are not something that ordinary small-time bandits can take down.
Therefore, when encountering such a large caravan, the bandits would usually unite to attack the caravan.
Both the caravans and the bandits have had experience with this.
The caravan was safe until these bandits gathered.
……
I have to say that President Luci did a very good job in entertaining Locke.
Not only did Locke ride in the most luxurious carriage, but he also had the most abundant food.
After reaching the seventh-level magician, Locke reduced the time spent on parsing magic spells and devoted more time to refining magic power and improving his mental strength.
He wanted to reach the holy realm in the shortest possible time.
At that time, with the sanctuary-level mental power, one can analyze magic spells and comprehend the mysteries of the laws much faster.
Moreover, only when you reach the Holy Land can you fully unleash the mysterious power of the laws you have comprehended and greatly enhance your strength.
Outside the holy realm, weak mental strength simply cannot allow a person to maintain the state of "harmony between man and nature" for a long time.
Whether it is to comprehend the mysteries of the laws or to use the mysteries of the laws, mental power, that is, the power of the soul, is the most basic.
Of course, if one has comprehended the mysteries of the laws before entering the Holy Land, one's spiritual power can be tempered by the mysteries of the laws, thus growing rapidly.
The more profound and powerful the laws you comprehend, the faster your mental power will improve.
Just like Locke.
His affinity with water elements is only average.
Generally speaking, with Locke's talent, he would have to wait until he was at least forty years old before he could reach the seventh-level barrier.
However, because Locke comprehended a bit of the mystery of the "Mist of Psychedelic" law, his mental power was tempered by the laws of heaven and earth, and he became a fifth-level advanced magician at the age of eighteen.
Now, at the age of twenty-four, he has become a seventh-level great magician.
If this news gets out, Locke will probably be praised as a rare genius that only appears once in a million years.
