Chapter 63 Brigade
On the winding forest road, a brigade was moving forward slowly.
This is a caravan of more than thirty people. A middle-aged knight wearing armor and with a calm temperament is at the front, followed closely by a covered car with two horses, followed by seven or eight fully loaded cars. The carriages carrying the goods were carefully guarded by many guards.
"Nick, it's getting late."
As the caravan was moving forward, a voice suddenly came from the covered carriage. Then the door was pushed open a gap, and a woman's head poked out and said to the middle-aged knight at the front.
"Well, it's getting dark soon." The middle-aged knight Nick glanced at the sky.
"Then let everyone get ready to rest." After listening to Nick's words, the woman pushed all the car doors open, and as soon as she walked out of it, she spread her tied long black hair, shook her head vigorously, and complained.
"Being in the carriage all day made me bored."
"You're tired, drink some water." Nick chuckled and threw a water bag.
The woman standing on the carriage took the water bag, unscrewed the cork, raised her head and took a few sips.
She is Tamara, the owner of this caravan. She is over thirty years old, but she has been well maintained and looks like she is only in her mid-twenties. Now she still has her charm, and the charm she inadvertently reveals makes the guards beside her They were all stunned.
"What are you looking at? If you look at it again, your eyes will gouge out!"
When she found out that several guards were peeking at her, Tamara yelled fiercely.
"Nick, pack up and camp nearby." Then, Tamara threw the water bag to Nick and ordered.
"Okay, let's set up the tent right away." The middle-aged knight Nick nodded and said, "We can make a fire and cook in a while. I will arrange for people to look around and bring back pheasants, rabbits and other things if they can be found." "
After finishing speaking, Nick began to order the guards to set up camp.
After a while, the tent was set up and the guards started to light a fire. Since Nick was responsible for guarding the caravan, he ordered his deputy Cobain to take a few people to hunt in the forest.
"Hey, Enzo, we're going to get some game, do you want to go?" Cobain shouted not far away.
"No, I plan to take a rest." Leaning next to a tree trunk, Enzo chuckled and waved his hand.
Cobain didn't force himself and went into the forest with a few guards.
It had been more than ten days since he left the Cold Plains. After saying goodbye to O'Quinn, Enzo embarked on a journey to the Silver Moon Kingdom.
He first found a caravan traveling from Eagle Grassland to the Silver Moon Kingdom for trade, and called himself the Wandering Knight. After paying the price of a gold coin, he joined the caravan as a passenger.
"There are only five days left to pass through the Blizzard Forest, and then pass through Crescent City and Half Moon City. It will take about ten days to reach Moonlight City."
Leaning against the tree trunk and taking a nap, Enzo counted the time of the journey in his mind.
After a while, it got dark.
"Why haven't Cobain and the others come back yet?" Tamara was sitting by the fire with her coat on. In front of her was a pot of steaming soup. The sweet smell spread everywhere, making people swallow their saliva.
"I guess I caught some prey and will be back soon." A guard said casually.
"Forget it, no wait, let's eat first." Tamara said, then stood up and filled a wooden bowl with a bowl of thick soup from the iron pot.
"Sister, this is for that pretty boy again." The guard on the side covered his mouth and snickered, winking and said, "It seems that you really care about the 'guests', even we don't get such treatment."
"Eat your food!" Tamara's face turned red, and she hit the guard on the head with a spoon in annoyance.
Then, Tamara turned around holding the bowl and walked towards the carriage not far away.
"Mrs. Tamara." Enzo greeted the graceful woman with a smile.
"You must be tired after traveling all day." Tamara held the soup bowl, a gentle smile appeared on her charming face, and said softly, "This is a thick soup made from white jade mushrooms. Drinking some can relieve fatigue and help Night sleep.”
"Thank you, Mrs. Tamara." Enzo took the soup bowl and thanked her politely.
"You're welcome, just call me by my name." Tamara smiled charmingly, sat down next to Enzo, and asked casually, "By the way, how many more days will it take for the brigade to arrive?" Silver Moon Kingdom, I still don’t know what you are going there for?”
"Wandering knight, wandering around." Enzo took a sip of hot soup and said casually.
"Living without a fixed place is not an option." Tamara's eyes lit up and she said softly, "Mr. Enzo is already a knight at such a young age. His future achievements are immeasurable. If he has enough resources, he will be promoted to a Grand Knight in the future. It’s easy too.”
"Who can say for sure what will happen in the future." Enzo chuckled.
"Alas! There are always infinite possibilities for young people in the future." Tamara raised her hand and stroked her face, sighing with self-pity, "Time is always extremely cruel to women. Unknowingly, my My husband has passed away seven years ago, leaving me with a huge travel group to bear alone. Although I have had enough food and clothing over the years, I have never been truly happy."
"You are still very powerful. After all, you can manage the brigade in an orderly manner." Enzo comforted.
"No matter how well the brigade is managed, what's the use?" Tamara said, twisting her body inadvertently, looking at Enzo with burning eyes: "Do you know, for you personally? For women, no amount of wealth can make up for the loneliness inside, and cold gold coins can never be compared with a warm chest."
Feeling Tamara's aggressive gaze, Enzo couldn't help but smile bitterly and lowered his head slightly.
"Being a wandering knight is free, but after all, you have no fixed abode." Tamara's eyes softened and she said softly: "Enzo, you are so young and have a long road ahead, so why not consider staying in the brigade?" , I can provide you with enough resources, and coupled with your talents, you can definitely become a great knight in the future!"
As she spoke, Tamara gently held Enzo's hand.
"Richard has been dead for too long. As a woman, I also long for some warmth." Tamara smiled charmingly, looked at Enzo's handsome face, and said with a breath: "Do you know, when When I first saw you, I had an inexplicable fondness for you. You are different from the stinky men in the brigade. You smell good and make me feel a sense of security."
"Thank you very much for your favor. However, for me, I still yearn for the free life of a wandering knight." He took out his palm without leaving a trace, and Enzo deliberately opened the distance between him and Tamara, touching the tip of his nose and smiling bitterly. Said: "I can only say sorry for your kindness."
Tamara's expression froze, but she soon recovered.
"It's okay, Enzo." Her expression was still gentle and she said softly, "The journey still takes a long time. You can think about it slowly and don't rush to give me an answer."
"Well, I will think about it carefully." Enzo nodded seriously.
"In that case, are you free tonight?" Tamara said with enchanting eyes, blinking and smiling, "The weather has been a bit cold recently. I can't sleep well alone in the tent. Can you come and stay with me?" ?"
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little cold."
Feeling the wolf-like gaze of the beautiful young woman, Enzo couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, but still refused directly.
"Sorry, I'm not used to sharing a tent."
"You..." Tamara suddenly felt suffocated, glanced at Enzo with hatred in her eyes, and said fiercely, "Then you can bear to have me suffer the cold in the tent alone?"
"Uh, this?" Enzo frowned and thought for a moment, then raised his head seriously and said, "You can drink more hot water."
