Chapter 1123, Conspiracy

Late at night, there were drunken people lying sporadically in the camp, Ren Xiaosu leaned against the wheels of the carriage and pretended to sleep.

No one was walking around by this time, Ren Xiaosu slightly opened his eyes to observe everyone, then made a note of all those who were drunk.

If it was true, as he judged, that this merchant group consisted of many Berkeley Family soldiers, then it was absolutely impossible for soldiers to get drunk during their missions.

Therefore, these drunken people could be excluded in the first place.

As a result of this round of observation, Ren Xiaosu was stunned to find that I’m afraid that the idlers in the merchant caravan were even less than what he had imagined.

At this time Ren Xiaosu was a little surprised, don’t be the Li Clan and Liu Clan urging Mei Ge to hurry up and depart, which is a conspiracy in itself, right?

Then Mei Ge this stupid white sweet didn’t think too much, directly agreed?

Ren Xiaosu manipulated Lao Xu quietly around the outside of the merchant fleet, the result is more sure of some of their own judgment, looking at the carnival has just ended, the merchant fleet is still loaded with wine barrels of vehicles beside the people on duty.

One of the chief industries of Yorkshire is wine-making, and the principal cargo of the Chamber of Commerce to Ghent was wine.

The entire caravan had hundreds of oxcarts and wagons, a quarter of which were filled with oak barrels of wine.

An oxcart can be loaded with six barrels of wine, this is the limit of the oxcart, Ren Xiaosu is very doubtful that those oak barrels are also loaded with other things, otherwise it would not be so late at night that there are still people on full alert guarding them.

Ren Xiaosu pondered, is Qian Weining leading this caravan, or is there someone else in command?

The next day the caravan set off again at dawn, and Qian Weining said that they would arrive at the first town on the road, Vaduz County, in the afternoon.

Ren Xiaosu asked Meiguo on the way, “Is this Vaduz County under the control of the Berkeley family?”

Mei Ge nodded, “Yes, and it is considered one of the Berkeley family’s major towns in the south, half of the Burning Knights’ strength is gathered here, and further north, it is the Winston family’s territory.”

“What is the relationship between the Winston Family and the Berkeley Family,” Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.

“The Winston family doesn’t really have a great sorcerer, so the Winston family is …… more like a vassal in front of the Berkeley family, I guess,” Meggo replied, “In the past, when the Berkeley family’s teenagers went to Ghent City to study, the Winston family boys would just surround them. If the Berkeley’s got into a fight with another family, the Winston boys would be the first to hug it out with the Berkeley boys too.”

“Is there anything else,” Ren Xiaosu wondered.

“O yes, some people say that the Winston family secretly swore allegiance to the Berkeley family a long time ago, but these are all rumors,” replied Mego.

“I’m afraid it’s not rumors,” Ren Xiaosu suddenly said, “Remember, never trust anyone other than me on this journey, including the two Sheepmen, and especially the knights sent by the Li Clan to protect you, such as Mox.”

Mego was puzzled, “What’s wrong?”

“I won’t tell you for now, you’re stupidly easy to trap,” Ren Xiaosu said.

Mego: “……”

In the evening, when the caravan arrived outside of Vaduz County’s town Ren Xiaosu frowned, “Yorkshire’s towns don’t have walls, how come Vaduz County does.”

“It was built decades ago, saying that it was to prevent wild beasts from endangering the belongers,” Meigo said unconcernedly.

However, Ren Xiaosu didn’t think that the sturdy city wall was to guard against wild beasts.

The appearance of the city walls of the Sorcerer’s Kingdom looked rather different from the walls of Middle Earth, with the main structure being more like a castle, with sentry towers and archery towers standing in a row, looking like lances pointing towards the sky.

The walls were built out of gray, whole blocks of masonry, and on top of them stood tough soldiers holding the Berkeley family’s lion banner in one hand, while the other hand rested on the hilt of a longsword at their waist.

“What did the flag of the Wizard Kingdom look like,” Ren Xiaosu asked.

Mei Ge recalled it, but he couldn’t even think of it until a few minutes later, when he answered, “It was a pattern of two longswords crossed together, and on top of the longsword was an Eye of True Sight.”

“Didn’t your family used to live in Ghent City, how come you can’t even remember this,” Ren Xiaosu said strangely.

“The flag of Ghent City was removed a long time ago, at first the Norman family replaced the flag of Ghent City with their shield flag, then the Tudor family wanted to replace the city’s head with their Hedonist flag,” Meggo shrugged his shoulders and replied, “The final result is that the city’s head is not planted with anyone’s flag, it’s bare and nothing .”

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, he thought to himself that the struggle within the Sorcerer’s Kingdom was already this intense?

Obviously, the Norman Family and the Tudor Family were not dealing with each other either, this was very good news for himself.

When the merchant caravan tried to enter the city gates, the soldiers lined up at the entrance to guard them stopped them, and the sergeant major in iron armor ordered the soldiers, “Check their vehicles!”

As a result, Qian Weining drove his horse forward and said in a loud voice: “I am the vice president of Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, Qian Weining, the customs clearance documents are all ready, and there is also the honorable sorcerer Lord Mego in the back, do you want to delay him?”

The soldier at the gate glanced towards the back of the caravan, Qian Weining pointed to Meigo’s carriage for the sergeant major, “On the carriage is the symbol of the Eye of True Vision, you can go and send your greetings for Lord Meigo.”

After saying that, the sergeant major walked towards Meigo’s carriage, his armor clattering as he walked.

He arrived in front of Meigo’s carriage and knelt down on one knee, “Honorable Lord Meigo.”

Meggo lifted the curtain of the carriage and said, “Please rise, I am only passing through Vaduz County this time, and I will continue on to Ghent City in the north tomorrow.”

“Understood,” the sergeant major got up and waved to the soldiers at the city gate, “Release the caravan and do not delay Lord Meggo.”

The merchant caravan moved slowly once more, they would repair at the stage station north of the town, where there was shelter, as well as horse feed and hay prepared for the animals.

Ren Xiaosu watched all of this silently from the sidelines, and he suddenly understood why this group of people were urging Mego to get on the road.

The people at the bottom of this sorcerer’s country had a monstrous worship and belief in sorcerers, and a merchant caravan with even more clearance documents would not be as useful as having a sorcerer in attendance.

With a sorcerer in the team, even the time to check the goods can be saved when passing through many towns, and even if the town guards who insist on checking, they won’t check too carefully.

So, Mego the silly white girl was being used as a pass by others ah.

As for Meigo, he proudly whispered to Ren Xiaosu on the side: ”How is it, seeing people respecting me so much, does it make you want to become a sorcerer even more? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely help you choose the Eye of True Sight this time.”

Ren Xiaosu rolled his eyes, this time, if he did not follow, help Mei Ge to add a “protagonist” fate, I’m afraid that Mei Ge even how he died do not know it……
