Chapter 83: Keen Alleria

Chapter 83 Keen Alleria

The caravan set off from the main gate of Stratholme and headed westward. According to the wealthy caravan leader, they will take a shortcut along the river along the Sodoril trail to Andorhal town.

In fact, this so-called Sodoril trail was the place that was later named Nerubian Tunnel. At this point in time, the whole trail was not a messy cave like it would be later, but an unconventional tunnel dug.

When he arrived here three days later, Charlemagne fell into deep thought as he watched the crowds and caravans coming and going on the path.

Although it is still uncertain why this place will become a place where nerubians ravage in the future, this specially dug tunnel path connecting Stratholme and the Sodoril River has indeed existed for a long time.

Otherwise, the caravan would need to go around a large mountain range to get from Stratholme to the later Western Plaguelands, which would take at least 1-2 months longer than going through the tunnel.

This is obviously not in line with the positioning of Stratholme as a trading city, so it is not difficult to understand the development of this tunnel.

‘It’s probably because someone took the initiative to destroy this shortcut when the natural disasters invaded, but I don’t know whether it was Baron Rivendell who had rebelled at the time or someone from Lordaeron. '

After passing through this long tunnel, the caravan came to the banks of the Sodoril River, the mother river that nourished the entire Kingdom of Lordaeron.

At this time, the entire riverside is surrounded by green trees and is very lively. There are caravan footholds specially built here outside the tunnel. Over time, it has even gradually developed into a small village, where pedestrians and traders will stop for a short time.

Compared to the polluted dark land and the depression of the houses in later generations, Charlemagne had the illusion that it was like a world away.

… No, there was a person living in seclusion at that time, a true hero who was once deprived of the power of the Holy Light.

Along the way, Charlemagne and Aurelia have not let down their vigilance against the mage Oakland, but according to their secret observations, the mage doesn't seem to have any evil intentions towards the entire caravan, but seems to be hiding someone with the help of the caravan.

Caravan leader Daniel specially invited him to ride in his carriage in order to show his respect to the mage, and Oakland, who had a ghost in his heart, readily agreed.

Most of the time, he hid in the carriage, and even the dinner was delivered to him by Daniel in the carriage.

The rest of the caravan was not surprised by this. According to folk rumors, mages are a group of powerful and eccentric people. They have also come into contact with some low-level mages before, and they are basically the same as Oakland. .

"Oakland itself is harmless to the caravan, but once the caravan he is hiding in is discovered by the enemy, it may affect everyone here. This will inevitably affect our future itinerary."

When camping at night, Alleria took the initiative to find Charlemagne and told her worries,

Charlemagne also touched his chin and nodded, "Indeed, but we don't even know who he's hiding or why he's hiding. Even if we confront him, this guy won't admit it. It's difficult..."

The other party is a mage with a high status among human beings, but the two of them are just foreigners. If Oakland beats them to death and refuses to admit it, but instead beats them up and says that they have framed them, it is really hard to say who the people in the caravan will believe. After all, they lack conclusive evidence.

Charlemagne pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "In this way, from today onwards, we will set up some freezing traps and special explosive traps near the settlements in Oakland. Once someone steps into them..."

Aurelia showed a slightly playful smile on her face, "We can immediately notice."

Of course the female elf knew the "special explosive trap" her lover referred to. After improvement, this kind of trap is not very lethal, but once someone steps on it, it will immediately emit a loud sound and bright fireworks.

Judging from its current function, it is not so much an explosion trap as an early warning device. It is a by-product of Charlemagne's research on the gunpowder of the explosion trap.

However, this by-product is unexpectedly useful. After Li Reza applied it to the ranger troops, he actually discovered some troll thieves who planned to use the cover of night to attack. Since then, this new type of trap has gradually been used by ranger troops circulated among them.

They found Daniel and asked to set a trap next to the carriage on the grounds of the safety of the caravan leader and His Excellency the Mage. Oakland eagerly agreed with ecstasy. Although Daniel thought it was unnecessary, he had no objection since the Mage agreed.

After telling them the exit of the trap formation, Alleria and Charlemagne laid a lot of traps densely around the carriage.

What? You said that you can only install one ranger trap at a time?

"Who told you that? As long as the material is sufficient, you can even plant it all the way from Silvermoon City to Taquilin. Otherwise, who would be so stupid as to step on a separate trap?"

As above, this is the answer that the fledgling Charlemagne got after asking his mentor,

In fact, think about it... Only one trap can only be installed for pure gameplay. In reality, as long as you have enough materials for arranging traps and spend a lot of money, you can really surround yourself with all kinds of traps when camping at night.

...provided you can ensure that you don't step on your feet when you wake up in a daze.

After setting up the trap, the ranger duo felt at ease. After returning to the camp they shared, they sorted out their personal problems and prepared to go to bed.

However, when Charlemagne yawned and got into his sleeping bag, a question suddenly asked by Alleria frightened his drowsiness away.

"Speaking of... what happened between you and Cirvanas during the last war with the trolls?"

'Hey! '

Charlemagne, who was already drowsy and about to fall asleep, straightened his back in reflex when he heard this question, and asked in a slightly dry voice while his back was facing Aurelia.

"It's nothing, it's just what the instructor told you before, why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Aurelia looked at the back of Charlemagne's head at this time and said with some doubts, "I always feel that the second sister looks at you a little strangely when saying goodbye, and..."

"And what!" Charlemagne sped up his speech very nervously.

"When I was in Stratholme this time, I always felt that Liadrin looked at me very strangely, and she would always ask about some things about our relationship, which made me feel a little... out of harmony."

'Female man, you cheated on me! '

Needless to say, this must be Cirvanas' best friend, Liadrin, who was looking for information for her friend. Unexpectedly, the keen Aurelia discovered the abnormality.

In midsummer, the sweat on Charlemagne's head was oozing three times faster than usual. Just as he was racking his brains to find an excuse to fool him, a half-scream from outside suddenly attracted the attention of the two of them.

"Save..."
