Chapter 55: The caravan’s exclamation (please read it later)
The warm wind with the earthy smell woke up Tom who was dozing. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and opened his eyes in a daze.

The aroma of cooking food wafted up, and Tom swallowed subconsciously and muttered:

"Ah? Is dinner ready?"

The cute little Ji Xiang, who kept laughing non-stop, came over with a full rice bowl.

She handed the cut brown bread to Tom, and her little mouth was already full. While chewing, she whined:
"Brother Tom, it's time to eat, hey hey hey."

With a naive smile, Tom grabbed the bread and stuffed it into his mouth. He ate it in two bites, took a sip of water, and looked around curiously:

"Where did Afan go?"

"Brother followed an uncle wanderer to explore the way ahead. I heard that we will arrive at Bay Village soon."

The sensible little Jixiang explained the situation clearly and slowly, with a little worry in his eyes.

The days of traveling with the caravan were the happiest times since Xiao Jixiang could remember.

You can eat three meals a day, and you can eat as much as you can, and there is one meal of meat every day.

Although it can sometimes be scary at night, croaking fishmen will occasionally pop out of the misty swamp.

However, the little guy really wants to live like this forever. Being able to eat enough every day is his biggest dream.

Unfortunately, although the journey is long, it always has an end.

Xiao Jixiang looked at the endless wilderness in the distance in confusion, and saw his brother returning from running.

The little worries disappeared immediately. Under everyone's smiling gaze, Xiao Jixiang happily ran to Jifan's side.

Adam Smith on the carriage looked carefully at the group of soldiers who came back with Ji Fan.

tread!tread!tread!
A group of 10 soldiers came trotting over.

The brand-new leather boots, which are the envy of many cart drivers, make the same sound on the uneven dirt road.

Every soldier had a serious expression on his face, and his sharp gaze made many people avoid him subconsciously.

"So elite? Are you Lord Matthew's personal guard?"

"No, some of the young men are villagers from Bay Village. I have even hired them..."

Adam Smith, who had a rather good memory, recognized several of the soldiers.

The well-informed Adam Smith even felt a faint threat from a few soldiers.

This shows that he is not only a professional, but also very likely to have killed someone recently.

He never imagined that in just a few days, the mental outlook of these soldiers would change so much.

Before Adam Smith could figure it out, Leon, who was leading the team, walked up and asked in a serious manner:

"Is it the Pearl Chamber of Commerce's motorcade? Are you Mr. Adam Smith?"

A smile immediately appeared on his face. Adam Smith got out of the carriage, stood with Lyon quite enthusiastically, nodded and replied:
"That's right, under the entrustment of the lord, I came back with the goods..."

Placing his hand on Adam Smith's wrist holding the gold coin, Lyon shook his head, and in the latter's stunned eyes, said calmly:
"In the future, you must not do this kind of thing in Lord Matthew's territory, otherwise you will be imprisoned in a prison cell."

"In addition, take all the goods with you, unload them at the warehouse first, and then go to the newly built residence."

Before Adam Smith could react, Lyon had already turned around and led the soldiers standing in a neat formation from the front to lead the way.

Looking at the golden gold coin in the palm of his hand, Adam Smith's mind was buzzing.

He never imagined that there would be ordinary soldiers who could refuse the temptation of gold coins.After taking back the gold coins angrily, Adam Smith noticed that everyone around him was looking at these tall and tall soldiers curiously, coughed slightly and shouted:

"Pack your stuff and get ready to move on."

Subconsciously smoothing his sister's hair, Jifan stared at the backs of Leon and other soldiers in shock.

In his impression, even the lord's personal guards in Blood Moon City did not have such a dashing demeanor, let alone refuse the gold coins delivered to them.

Perhaps, the lord's guards would not bully the homeless in the slums at will.

But Jifan knew very well that the disdain and indifference in their eyes was the reason for their superiority.

The other cart drivers in the caravan were also discussing curiously while packing their things and getting ready to hit the road.

What kind of place is Bay Village?
There are such impressive soldiers.

Others in the caravan couldn't help but look at each other.

They all saw a little solemnity and curiosity in each other's eyes.

They are adventurers who were attracted, most of them from Bloodmoon City.

Most of the young adventurers didn't care about the living conditions proposed by Matthew.

What really attracted them was the bounty of 50 gold coins on a troll!

The experienced Adam Smith was not angry because of Lyon's lack of face. Instead, he was silently sighing:
"As expected of a large family with a long history of family education, it can actually cultivate such talents, who all have the potential to become my guard captain..."

In Adam Smith's view, Lyon was naturally a talent brought over by Matthew from the Searle family.

Before he could figure out how to make friends with Leon.

The sound of "chirping" arrows piercing the air suddenly spread.

It caused a panic in the entire caravan.

Subconsciously holding the thin sword at his waist, Adam Smith turned his head and looked at the top of the carriage ahead. A slender wanderer was shouting at the top of his lungs:

"Hundreds of kobolds were discovered ahead!"

Adam Smith's expression changed. The threat from hundreds of kobolds was not great, but he was worried that this was not all.

He was about to reach his destination. Whether it was casualties or damage to goods, he didn't want to see it.

"Everyone, be quiet. These kobolds are also members of the territory. They will not attack humans at will."

"Did you see clearly? They are just paving the road!"

Seeing that the caravan was about to cause a riot, Lyon's clear voice spread and told everyone the incredible news.

Jifan, who was holding his sister up and preparing to put her on the carriage, whispered a few words in her ear and then pushed her up.

The little girl looked carefully, with big doubts in her little head, and asked loudly in a curious tone:

"It's true, those kobolds lined up carrying wooden frames filled with small stones, as if they were paved on the road ahead..."

In a few days, Xiao Jixiang's cleverness and sensibleness have won the love of many people. Of course, no one will think that she is lying.

But the facts she said made everyone feel even more incredible!
