Chapter 1051

There were probably over 700 people here, and more than 300 horse-drawn carts.

Although the surroundings were noisy, everyone was very orderly.

Basically all standing near their own carts, chatting with the people beside them.

Most of those carts were sealed with oilcloth or ropes, so the goods inside couldn't be seen, but they were definitely not cheap goods.

Among the members of the caravan, middle-aged people made up more than half, followed by young people, with very few elderly.

Basically all men, very few women, occasionally an auntie or a granny could be seen.

These people looked ordinary, but the aura emanating from their bodies was all extraordinary.

Probably half were high-rank lords, and the rest were all high-rank warriors or mages.

There might also be some high-rank physicians and craftsmen.

But Zhao Chi couldn't tell any further information.

Soldiers were interspersed within the caravan; from their appearance alone, one could tell these soldiers were high-ranked and absolutely reliable.

He didn't know whose soldiers these were.

Just as he was watching, a rough, tough-looking big fellow walked over, stubbly-bearded, dark and burly.

Wearing a suit of fine steel armor, carrying a two-handed great axe on his back, looking like a steel bear.

If he charged at full strength, he might knock down a wall.

Zhao Chi was looking at him, and the big fellow also glared viciously over.

"You, are you Zhao Chi?"

His voice was loud and deep as an ox's.

"Ah? Yes."

Zhao Chi hadn't expected him to call his name.

What did he want?

Could it be that he wasn't allowed to look?

The burly man turned his head and bellowed: "Li Ruanyu, is it him?"

Li Ruanyu walked over from a distance.

Her figure was elegant, yet completely out of place with this environment.

"Yes, that's him."

Li Ruanyu answered from afar.

At the same time, her voice also sounded in Zhao Chi's ear.

【Zhao Chi, that is Captain Tieshan, the leader of the caravan. Whatever happens, you listen to him.】

Tieshan?

Truly a man whose name matched his nature.

Calling him Iron Bear would actually be quite fitting too.

Tieshan walked closer, glanced at Zhao Chi's cart: "What's this stuff? 8 barrels of super-improved fire oil?"

Tieshan knew this was super-improved fire oil, but didn't know it was a special super-improved model.

He thought it was ordinary super-improved fire oil.

Zhao Chi nodded: "Yes."

"Just this little bit?"

"Mm…"

"Such a small amount of super-improved fire oil, is it even worth a trip to Dark Night City? What were you thinking?"

"Wanted to go see the world…"

"See the world?" Tieshan laughed: "You want to go see the dark elf girls?"

What nonsense is this?

"No!"

"Let me tell you, whether you are or aren't, since Li Ruanyu asked me to look after you, you have to listen to me. I'll take you to see the world, but don't go running around on your own, got it?"

At this time Li Ruanyu also walked over.

She chimed in: "That's right, Zhao Chi, this is your first time out. Whatever happens, don't act on your own. Ask Captain Tieshan about everything, understand?"

Zhao Chi nodded: "Understood. Thank you, Instructor Li. Sorry for the trouble, Captain Tie."

Li Ruanyu said: "Captain Tie, when it's safe, you can give him some freedom of movement. No need to restrict him too much."

Tieshan laughed: "Don't worry, Li Ruanyu. Whatever you ask me to do, I'll definitely handle it well."

Zhao Chi asked: "Instructor Li, aren't you going?"

Li Ruanyu smiled: "Of course I can't go. There are still a lot of things here. How could I get away? But with Captain Tie leading the team, there'll be no problems at all. He's a famous fierce general around here. If you learn even a smattering from him, you'll improve quite a bit."

Tieshan was overjoyed.

Patting his big head, he grinned: "How could it be that exaggerated? Li Ruanyu, you're going to flatter me till I lose my bearings."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "How could that be? Captain Tie's sense of direction is also extremely strong. He's always been very reliable."

Tieshan laughed heartily: "No, no."

Li Ruanyu laughed: "I truly think so. But I still have some things to take care of now and can't stay here too long. I'll leave this student of mine to you."

Tieshan nodded: "Don't worry, Li Ruanyu. I'll keep an eye on him."

Li Ruanyu turned her head and said to Zhao Chi: "Be very careful on the road. Listen to Captain Tieshan in everything."

"Understood!"

"Good, then I'm off. Captain Tie, have a smooth journey."
