The Strongest Knight

When performing missions outside, one must guard against possible dangers, so it is not a good idea to use the Knight's Breathing Method to consume the Knight's energy for training.

Gray and Duran simply pestered Pound to give them a detailed introduction to the situation in the Red River Valley.

The Red River Valley area is the central region closest to Lion Castle, with a straight-line distance of about one hundred kilometers.

The Red River Valley is located on both sides of the Red River, and more than one million people live along the banks of the Red River.

The ethnic groups here include local indigenous people, people from the central region with blue hair and golden eyes, as well as various human races and even alien populations from the east, south, west and north.

The four members of the Red River Valley Council are the top power players in the Red River Valley.

The four councillors are a human second-level water mage, a human first-level wizard, and a human formal knight.

The last councillor is an alien, a lord-level fishman, who represents the interests of the aliens in the Red River Valley.

"Aliens can actually become the rulers of humans? That's hilarious." Duran shook his head.

"Don't underestimate the alien race from the Eastern Territory. The lord-level murlocs are no weaker than official knights." Pound said.

"Mercemen are also one of the races that were glorious in modern times. In modern times, under the leadership of a merman emperor named Bai, the merman empire once unified the Barrow continent." Gray also said with a smile.

When he had nothing to do, Gray liked to read the historical books in the Birch Castle, and he was already familiar with the history of Barrow Continent.

"Now is the year of the human era. Those murlocs themselves don't remember what happened ten thousand years ago, right? Gray, you remember it better than the murlocs." Duran said.

"Haha, history is the facts that happened in the past. Understanding history can help us summarize the past and enrich the future..."

......

When camping outdoors in the Central Region, of course someone needs to be on duty.

On night duty, Duran, Gray and Pound each led a team of soldiers to work for three hours, and each had six hours of rest time.

Pound took the initiative to choose the most difficult time in the middle class.

Gray and Duran were not polite either. Gray chose to take over at dawn, while Duran was on the first shift.

There are not many caravans that dare to travel late at night and sleep in the wild like Murphy's caravan.

The wilderness of Central Region was quiet in the dead of night. With the crackling sound of dry wood burning in the campfire, Gray crawled into the tent. His body could still hold on after a day of traveling, but he was indeed a little tired mentally.

After a while, Gray fell into a deep sleep.

Gray slept until he woke up naturally. He usually got up at around four o'clock every day to practice, so he had no pressure at all to take the dawn shift.

Gray replaced Pound and his men with a team of well-rested soldiers.

Nothing special happened and three hours passed quickly. When the sun rose, the caravan rested for ten minutes and then continued on their journey.

Finally, around ten o'clock in the morning, Gray saw the Red River Valley area.

From afar, the winding and wide Red River is lined with houses and bustling with people. It is indeed a prosperous area.

The Red River Valley has no city walls, so naturally there is no entrance fee. The caravan went straight ahead and stepped directly into the Red River Valley.

At this point, the mission is basically halfway completed.

The laws enacted by the Red River Valley Council stipulate that murders must not occur in the Red River Valley, otherwise severe punishment will be imposed.

Pound accompanied Murphy to escort the goods into a chamber of commerce called Club No. 8 in the Red River Valley for the transaction. Gray and Duran waited outside the chamber of commerce and had some free time.

The two young men hit it off immediately and decided to take the opportunity to explore the Red River Valley in a foreign land.

Gray would earn some income when he was performing tasks in Birch Castle on weekdays.

Like during the beast slave riot, Gray got ten gold coins at one time, which is 100,000 copper kels.

After half a year, Gray's property had accumulated to more than 300,000 copper kels, which was considered a small fortune.

If you only provide yourself with food, drinks and entertainment, you can eat it for many years.

The security level in the Red River Valley area is certainly not comparable to that in the Dru Kingdom. No one dares to cause trouble easily in the Red River Valley, but once outside the Red River Valley, those disguised robbers will reveal their true colors. If they are weak and have lost money, they will be in trouble.

But because there are no taboos in the Red River Valley and everyone is allowed to settle down, the Red River Valley also has a diversity that is not generally found in the cities of the Dru Kingdom.

As Gray traveled along the way, he saw a large number of business travelers coming and going, and foreigners were everywhere.

People of all ethnic groups have the right to do business in the Red River Valley, so there are a wide variety of shops in the Red River Valley.

A seafood restaurant opened by a big-headed fishman? Not bad! Let’s go in and try it!

A bar called Forest Origin opened by a green-skinned forest elf? Not bad! Let’s go in and try it!

A gun experience hall opened by dwarves? Not bad! It has some shadows of the shooting gallery in the past life. Let's go in and try it!

Goblin Grocery Store? Great! Let’s go in and see if we can find some treasures!

As a result, of course, I got nothing. I was tricked by that cunning goblin boss and spent a gold coin to buy a dragon treasure map that I didn't know was real...

Seeing that the time was almost up, Gray and Duran, who had been shopping and eating for a while, finally set out on their return journey.

Outside Club No. 8, Murphy was chatting with Pound with a happy look on his face, and it seemed that the transaction process was going smoothly.

"Let's go to the Knight's Tavern for a meal, and then we can continue our journey. We can rest in Lion Castle Town tonight."

When Gray and the other two came back, Murphy immediately led the team to the so-called Knight Tavern with ease.

As soon as the team of dozens of people entered the tavern, they immediately occupied two-thirds of the first-floor hall.

The food in the tavern was very much to the Dru people's taste, and the soldiers, who had been eating dry rations all day, ate with relish.

"According to the knight's request, I have exchanged the portion obtained from Birch Castle for precious herbs that are beneficial to the body. They are all loaded on the third carriage. You can just pull them back to Birch Castle when the time comes." Murphy said to Gray and others.

Fielding would have his servants incorporate these expensive herbs into the apprentices' daily meals, which unknowingly improved the apprentices' physical fitness. He could be said to be a very generous teacher.

At noon, braving the scorching sun, the caravan set out again after replenishing their food and water.

Riding on Redback, Gray turned back with lingering interest to look at the prosperous Red River Valley area. If it was just for living, the Red River Valley was indeed a good place.

This time the carriage was emptied of cargo, and the empty carriage traveled three times faster.

When the sun set, the caravan took a short break and then continued on their journey.

The soldiers, including Gray, who were eager to return home, did not feel tired.

No matter how prosperous the Red River Valley is, it cannot compare to the feeling given by Birch Fort.

Walking on the vast plain continent, Gray looked up at the sky and saw the full moon had already risen.

A wisp of gray fog surged past, and the bright yellow moonlight was tinged with a haziness.

Fog? Gray was startled. Huh? No! Enemy attack! Gray quickly drew the long sword from his waist!
