Mystic Dominator - Chapter 12 disappearing fire

On the third day on the business team, Ronald was already getting along quite well with the team.

For these businessmen, an unassuming nobleman is a good way to communicate even if he is down.

However, due to road conditions and the physical strength of the horses, their travel speed is not as fast as the development speed of the relationship.

According to Ronald's estimation, they had advanced about 120 kilometers during the three-day stop-and-go.

One is quite good in ancient times, but very fast in modern times.

And according to the merchants in the convoy, before arriving at Burrenwich, they would stop at several larger towns around them to buy and sell goods in order to seek as much profit as possible.

The next stop on the journey was a seaside town that arrived almost three or four days later, and was also a neighbor of the town where Ronald's mansion was located.

According to previous reports, Ronald himself will be separated from the team there.

————

Stop and go, the time of the day is fast.

In this daytime, there is also only one star illuminating; on a planet that is also rising in the east and setting in the west, the oblique angle of the sunlight gradually shifts, and the afternoon time is coming to an end.

Sitting side by side with Ronald, the trader Nessus naturally started talking while driving the car:

"Mr. Ronald, it's getting late."

"Do you think it's better for us to camp at the foot of the mountain, or to walk a little further?"

"Camp..."

Hearing Xing Shang's words, Ronald immediately began to think about how to answer.

As an aristocrat, it's best not to show your knowledge of field trips, because it doesn't match your personality.

So showing a wry smile, Ronald shook his head:

"I don't go out too much, so I really don't have any idea."

As soon as he finished speaking, Thomson, the businessman who was driving in front of him, spoke loudly, pointing to the mountain in front of him and making his own suggestion:

"Gentlemen, we can walk up to Montenegro."

"Three years ago, I also passed by here. There is a small town on the mountainside. It's definitely not a problem to stay overnight."

Immediately, someone from the other traders in the convoy shouted:

"Thomson, you bastard!"

"If I had this news, I should have said it earlier. Last time I was in the small town, I still had some fruit that I failed to take. I thought that after less than a week, I would have eaten half of it!"

The complaints of his fellow travelers didn't affect Thomson. The businessman laughed and rubbed his apprentice's head: "Didn't I come here three years ago? It's good to remember!"

While explaining, this guy did not forget to tease the other party with a hearty voice:

"Besides, it's a good trader who can seize every opportunity to make money. If you have the time to complain about me, you might as well think about how to sell the fruit."

"People who live by the mountains don't lack these. Isn't the leftover fruit from the last town an example?"

"Hey!"

"I made a lot of money tonight, so don't be jealous!"

"Don't be jealous! But you can give me a taste of the fruit that can't be sold out. I'm still growing."

"Dream!"

A scoff sounded, and at the same time, a yellow fruit was thrown from one carriage to another, mixed with the surprise cries of children.

Seeing the people in the convoy chatting and laughing for a while, Ronald quietly turned his eyes to Nessus beside him:

"It seems that Mr. Thomson likes his apprentice very much."

"Isn't it?"

Shaking his head with a smile, Nassos' tone also sighed:

"As our merchants, forming a team and hiring guards are rare opportunities. Usually, I go on the road alone."

"I really want to go to a relatively long trek and remote areas, and when the loneliness comes, I wish I could even ask my horse to speak, and then have a good chat."

"It's a good thing to be able to bring an apprentice."

"I see......"

Listening to Nassos' explanation, Ronald's eyes gradually drifted to the mountain in front of him.

According to another trader, this is called Montenegro:

"Montenegro ahead."

"Has Mr. Nessus been here before?"

Hearing Ronald's question, while driving the carriage, Nessus' eyes began to show memories:

"Montenegro..."

"I've heard of it, but there don't seem to be many residents in the town above, so I didn't go there to do business."

"Is that so..."

There was a chat, and the shadow of the sun was dragging longer and longer behind the convoy.

Around the end of the evening, the team also started climbing on the Black Mountain.

Montenegro is said to be a mountain, but it is not some dangerous peak, just an ordinary edge of a mountain range with an altitude of no more than 2,000 meters.

The more magnificent mountain veins will continue to the farther depths of the forest.

Because there are people living on the mountain, the road here is better than before.

However, in the process of climbing, I ran into trouble in the end.

Almost before Montenegro was completely 'dark', the road used for passing was suddenly blocked.

It seems that it was because of the rain three days ago. The soil and stone that fell from the side of the ridge cut off the road. Although the area is not large, it has a scale of more than ten meters.

Humans can make it through if they work harder, but the carriage...

Don't even think about it!

Seeing the scene in front of them, the merchants in the convoy immediately scolded:

"Damn it! I really can't sell my fruit?"

"Even the dirt road in this country is against me!"

This time, Thomson didn't add fuel to the fire, but took the initiative to comfort him:

"Gaen, don't panic."

"The town is not too far from here, so it's not impossible to go there."

"..."

Thomson's consolation had a very obvious effect.

Hearing that the town was not far away, the trader named Gaien immediately turned his head to look at his carriage, and then looked back at the cluttered road.

At this time, the air was a little low, and the sky was cloudy.

This fruit...

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he bite the bullet and shouted to the guard he hired:

"Joel, help me carry the half box of fruits over here. You will stay for the night tonight."

"okay!"

As soon as the employer opened his mouth, the guards responded immediately.

He lifted the fruit box from the carriage in three or two times, and the young man named Joel quickly brought the things over, and then showed an honest smile to his employer.

"Mr Guyon, do you want me to work all night tonight?"

"I can't forget you, I'll count the money back for you."

After sending his guard back, Gaien immediately bent down and picked up the fruit box, weighed his weight, and went forward.

"Ugh......"

Seeing that Guyen moved forward without looking back, Thomson could only sigh deeply:

"Boy, let's follow."

"If you can, help Gaien, even if they invite you to eat fruit."

"Okay, Mr. Thomson."

The apprentice should be with the businessman, and the two immediately followed.

Ronald, who was left behind, and the other two businessmen looked at each other, and finally ordered the guards to take care of the fire, and then chased after him with the lamp.

————

Once the sun sets, the speed of nightfall becomes faster.

Not to mention that this place is still facing west.

Under the direct shield of Montenegro, the surrounding area was completely dark, and the faint light on the horizon was completely disappeared.

Hurrying at this time, speed and sight are greatly affected.

Apart from the desolate and silent darkness, only the nearby clumps of low shrubs could still be seen clearly.

While following the road, he looked along the mountain road.

The carriage camp in the back lit up, and the merchants in front were cursing.

Then, Ronald saw clearly.

The fire in the camp disappeared—
