Chapter 694 The Secrets of Both Sides

The next morning, Luke and Wanda left the hotel.

Arrived at the agreed north gate of Ami City.

Luke and Wanda did some research last night.

Because Wanda's magic is similar to the abilities of the Vatican clergy here.

So, Luke made Wanda a magic bow.

This thing can only be used by Wanda herself.

Wanda will use her magic through this bow to transform it into fire magic.

This is perfectly equivalent to the single magic system performance of a warlock.

When we arrived outside the north gate, Edwin was already waiting there.

Seeing Luke driving the carriage, Edwin stepped forward to say hello.

Luke saw that their team consisted of eight people.

Five men, three women, and a carriage.

Luke raised his politeness and gestured to a few people to say hello.

This is a traditional courtesy.

Edwin and his men are adventurers and warriors.

There are no sorcerers among them, just simple warriors.

There was not much communication between the two sides. After Edwin and Luke greeted each other, he gestured for the team members to start driving the carriage.

Each side had a carriage.

Others rode horses.

The team walked in front.

Edwin and another male member followed beside and behind Luke's carriage.

This branch is somewhat distrustful.

Edwin and Luke explained.

Although the other person was following behind, he was not far away.

Basically, there were two people in the front and back of the carriage.

Edwin was parallel to Luke, and the other man was parallel to the back door of the carriage.

This kind of carriage is not the ancient Chinese carriage, but the European one.

The back and roof of the car are places for luggage, and the middle is the place for getting on and off the car.

Edwin chatted with Luke along the way, but he was just asking questions.

Luke was so smart that he just brushed it off without leaving any trace.

On the first day, Luke could see that Edwin was anxious to get on with his journey.

We didn't stop to rest at noon, and it wasn't until the evening that we found an open space to camp.

Their team is still very professional.

The campsite is an open space backed by a mountain, with a small stream not far away.

It can be seen that people who often walk this road regard this place as a fixed camping site.

Since everyone was not familiar with it, Luke did not set up a tent, but instead used a carriage as a rest area.

It's just that at night, everyone cooks.

Edwin's team all ate dry rations, except Luke.

Take the cauldron out of the wagon.

Cooked a pot of soup.

There was meat and vegetables, and the smell was so good that the team members next to them suddenly felt that the jerky and bread in their hands were no longer fragrant...

"what is this?"

Luke was still stirring, answering the other man.

"Bordeaux. I made some extra. You can have some."

The man looked at Edwin, and when Edwin nodded, he took out his bowl.

"Give me some, please. Thank you."

After Luke served him a bowl of soup, he also served Wanda a bowl.

Wanda had a bowl of soup and a piece of bread for dinner.

And Luke served himself a bowl.

When the others saw that the man who started eating had no problem, they also came forward to ask Luke for soup.

Luke was not stingy and gave it all away, except Edwin.

All the night watch was left to Edwin.

Luke leaned against the carriage to rest.

Wanda is inside the carriage.

The two parties were not familiar with each other and intentionally kept a certain distance.

The first night was peaceful and nothing happened.

Continue on the road the next day.

Until the fifth night.

These days, Luke continues to cook various delicious dishes every day.

The members of Edwin's team also became familiar with Luke.

Wanda is a warlock and maintains a cool personality.

Others took the initiative to talk to Luke.

Luke also became familiar with Edwin's team.

Three women, two are scouts and one is an herbalist.

Of the other four men, two were archers, one was a shield bearer, and one was a spearman.

Female scouts also have crossbows.

The difference between archers is that the power of their bows and arrows is greater than the crossbows used by scouts.

Edwin is also a shieldman, but also a swordsman and a spearman.

This team is called the Holy Shield Team, and Edwin has always been the captain.

It is said that Edwin was also an ordinary member of the team.

However, the first generation members of the Holy Shield Team all died, and Edwin has always retained the name of the Holy Shield Team.

After dinner, everyone took turns to rest.

Luke and Wanda didn't have to keep watch, but they made a promise.

Wanda rests peacefully while Luke stays alert at all times.

Because he doesn't need to sleep, he can still maintain his energy.

In the second half of the night, Luke sensed unusual movements in the forest not far away.

It is a social creature similar to hyenas.

However, compared to the hyenas on Earth, the hyenas here are much larger and are about the same size as wolves on Earth.

The members of the night watch team were not paying attention by the campfire.

Luke quietly threw out a stone.

A hyena's howl sounded in the forest.

The night watchman suddenly became alert.

"Enemy attack~"

When the team members heard the warning, they stood up quickly.

Then they gathered around the herbalist's tent.

At this moment, Luke knew that this herbalist was the team's target.

They were escorting the herbalist.

Wanda also woke up and climbed onto the roof of the car.

Luke whispered to her:

"They are wild beasts, similar to wolves."

As soon as Luke finished speaking, the hyenas began to attack.

Dozens of hyenas began to attack from all directions.

Wanda took out the flaming bow Luke gave her and shot at the hyenas one by one.

While calming the horse, Luke took out his crossbow and began shooting at the hyena.

Wanda is very efficient.

Almost every shot hits the target.

The red magic arrow will catch fire after hitting the hyena.

The Holy Shield team cooperated very well.

With the shield bearer in front, the hyenas were basically isolated outside the defense circle.

Finally, the hyenas slowly retreated after leaving behind more than twenty corpses.

Everyone began to clean the battlefield.

No one was injured.

This battle is based on two fulcrums, which support each other.

The herbalist's tent and Luke's carriage.

Wanda's magic arrows never missed their targets and left a deep impression on everyone.

Luke was just a bystander the whole time.

But in fact, they were all conveying messages to Wanda, marking the most threatening targets.

Occasionally, I can also spare some energy to help the opposing Holy Shield team.

Otherwise, the fight wouldn't have been so easy and no one would have been injured.

Luke and Wanda did not participate in cleaning up the battlefield.

Edwin brought two other women to find Luke to express his gratitude.

Wanda helped the female scouts several times.

Their defense was flawless, but after all, they were not the main force in frontal combat.

Without Wanda's help, he would have probably been injured or even killed.

So Edwin brought them here to thank Wanda.

Wanda maintained her aloof personality, just nodded, said something and went back.

"It's just a little effort."

The rest is up to Luke.

Luke also smiled and chatted with them.

At this moment, Edwin also realized that between Luke and Wanda, it was Luke who was in charge, not Wanda, the warlock.

This also made Edwin curious about Luke and Wanda.

But he didn't ask.

After expressing his gratitude, he took his men to clean up the camp.

Luke also pretended to continue resting.

And so, I was busy until dawn.
