Chapter 28 The Devon Wanderers

After walking for a while, it was dawn. They did not rest and continued to rush forward until the sun rose, and it was the most painful time.

When it is hot and the sun shines directly, even if you have good physical strength, you will be exhausted and sweat all over.

At least that's true for Tang An.

Along the way, the four of them hired temporarily had little communication, and they didn't even know what they called each other. Maybe it was because the weather was too hot, and even the bald Charlie talked a lot less.

Tang An was bored. In addition to comparing their routes and the directions pointed by the pointers, he opened the word book he recorded in his hand and learned Lacia while resting.

To explore the plot world of No. 16, mastering the language here is a necessary condition.

At night, they chose a safe place to light a campfire. At this time, a few people who had not communicated much before also started chatting.

Of course, it's just chatting.

They definitely won’t tell their own past, and everyone has secrets, so the topic came to the goods they escorted this time.

"Do you know? In fact, Mr. Charlie has a bad reputation. I heard that he has to transport goods to Devon every once in a while, but strangely, anyone hired by him has never appeared again and has disappeared." A hired guard whispered at this time.

This statement obviously surprised the other three people.

"I have heard of this rumor, but I think it's just a rumor. At least I'm leaving, I don't believe anyone can stop it." The man holding a long-handled flintlock rifle looked confident.

"But Mr. Charlie is indeed a bit suspicious. The goods he transported were covered tightly, and he never revealed what was transported. At noon, I took a secret look while they were not paying attention. The carriage was filled with strange things, including various bottles, test tubes, and some ores and herbs." The guard who spoke at the beginning was obviously curious, and he actually violated the rules and secretly checked the goods.

Another guard who had not spoken said at this time: "According to your description, that should be something that the pharmacist should use."

"Pharmacist?" Obviously, for those of the lower class, pharmacists are very mysterious and high-end. They only know that extraordinary pharmacists are made by pharmacists.

It is said that even the most ordinary extraordinary potion is priced at dozens or even hundreds of gold coins, and it is possible that the price will be even higher.

At this time, Charlie and his two followers came over there, and the few of them stopped talking.

Bald Charlie told them that they needed to watch tonight because they were spending the night in the wild and they needed to worry about some thieves and beasts, and the four of them needed to be on duty separately.

Tang An was arranged to be in the second half of the night.

So he could sleep for a while, but when Tang An lay on the ground with a slightly stinky blanket, he couldn't sleep. It was not that the stones on the ground were too hard, but that Tang An noticed a trace of danger.

Tang An never thought he was so great, so he always cheered up at all times, and it would be no exaggeration to say that he was cautious.

Before talking to the bonfire today, Tang An realized something was wrong.

He found that under the carriage, someone carved words, "Tang'an Lasi's language is not good, but he just happened to recognize these words."

"Charlie kills people!"

This word is engraved under the carriage, so if you don’t look for it specifically, you will not be able to find it at all. Tang An looked for an opportunity to look down. There were also some blood fingerprints that had been blurred around the carriage. It was obvious that someone was injured and hid under the carriage in panic and carved it with a knife.

When I saw the traces, I probably had already carved them, so who, when and why did I carve these words?

When Tang An found out this, he felt a little uneasy, and eventually heard some other strange rumors about Charlie Bald, that is, it was not the first time that Charlie Bald was employed to Devon. The rumor said that anyone who was hired by Charlie Bald disappeared.

If you associate the clues you found with this rumor, then Tang An feels that this should not be just a baseless rumor, at least it has some authenticity. Even if it is only 10% of this possibility, Tang An feels that he should not continue to "take risks".

As the saying goes, don’t be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something.

What if this bald Charlie is really having a problem?

If this happens, you may not be able to help yourself when you arrive in Devon, so you must take the initiative when you can take the initiative.

No.

Take the initiative to escape.

Tang An decided that although it would be full of danger to go to Devon alone, at least the danger can be controlled. Unlike now, you still need to beware of people around you. Maybe someone will stab you in the back when it will be.

The so-called open guns are easy to avoid hidden arrows and are difficult to prevent.

So I decided to leave later on night.

Thinking of this, Tang An was also confused and became sleepy, and finally fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Tang An was woken up by a cold wind. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the originally burning bonfire had been extinguished at some point.

Is no one taking care of the bonfire?

This is the first thought of Tang An. After all, people on night need to take care of the bonfire. In this wilderness, there is no bonfire to keep warm, and sometimes people can be frozen to death.

He looked up and Tang An immediately held his breath.

Charlie Bald and his two followers were both holding sharp knives and hiding behind the carriage. Some of the other people were sleeping. The nighttime people, like Charlie Bald, were all hiding with their waists and not daring to move.

Tang An also discovered that the bonfire was extinguished by someone with water.

Needless to ask, it must have been done by Charlie Bald, but why did it?

The latter also found that Tang An woke up and hurriedly made a gesture of banning the sound and not moving around.

Tang An didn't dare to move at the moment.

Now Tang An was nervous and curious. He wanted to know what was going on, but he actually made Bald Charlie and the others look like they were facing a great enemy.

wrong.

That was simply fear, fear, and there was no doubt that there must be something, some kind of terrible thing in this dark wilderness.

Tang An tried hard to look around.

Finally, I saw a tall black shadow moving slowly in the distance. The black shadow was a bit exaggerated. The normal height of adults was between 1.5 and 2 meters. Even if it was a little higher, two meters one or two meters two would have reached the limit.

But Tang An estimated that the shadow in the distance was at least five meters above.

Can people grow to that height?

At least Tang An had never seen it, but the one in the distance was indeed more than five meters. This height alone made people feel fear, especially in the night, which could not be seen clearly, adding a mystery and weirdness, making people feel more and more terrified.

No wonder Charlie and the others would put out the bonfire and dare not say anything, because if they were to lure that thing over, the ghost would know what a terrible thing would happen.

Fortunately, the tall black shadow was quite far away, and it should have been just passing by.

In the next few minutes, no one dared to speak out, and the horse seemed to feel the threat, so it was also motionless. Fortunately, the bonfire was extinguished, otherwise the black shadow in the distance would have definitely been discovered.

Finally, the tall black shadow walked away.

Bald Charlie and the others just stood up, each of them looked scared.
