The boss was quite friendly to Lin Xiao. Not only did he not charge any fees, but he also specially arranged a cargo vehicle for him and a maid to serve him.
Any merchant who trades year-round would know how significant the role of a senior magician can be when a caravan is attacked; he doesn't have to do anything in the caravan, just eat and sleep every day.
Lin Xiao lay on the soft animal skin cushion in the carriage, his goblet filled with emerald-green Albori wine, and several kinds of fruit platters on a plate beside him.
"It's been a long time since I've relaxed and enjoyed life like this!"
It was apparent that Ma Lin, the merchant caravan leader, truly understood how to live. The carriage walls were lined with thick animal skins to insulate against the heat, and there was a small thermal magic array on the carriage ceiling, maintaining a spring-like temperature inside despite the insulation and regardless of the outside conditions, never feeling too hot or too cold.
