However, as the thieves continued their search, Leos was still not found, and many powerful monsters emerged from the woods to block their way.
The Cursed Forest…
This area is full of mysterious powers and is full of deadly dangers.
After losing more than two hundred elite soldiers, the bandits had to give up the idea of searching deep into the Grudge Forest.
Although Aleman and Lowell did not want to admit this fact, they had to come to a result in the end.
Leos may have been eaten by wild beasts and completely disappeared from this world.
Because not even a team as powerful as the Thieves of Death can enter the depths of the forest to find Leos, let alone a man who only has the strength of a level 2 warrior.
When Hiery learned the news of Leos' disappearance, she was so distraught that she even lost her reason, scolded Lowell, and vented all her anger on Leos' teacher.
But Lowell just lowered his head and remained silent. Indeed, it was he who asked Leos to collect the enchanting materials.
Therefore, Lowell's heart has been cast with a shadow since that day, as he killed his disciple.
Hiery tried to commit suicide several times, but was stopped by three maids.
After that, Siyali spent every day of her life in a daze and in despair.
For her, without Leos, there was no difference between living and dying. She seemed to have become a walking corpse, decadent all day long.
This incident had a huge impact on her and completely destroyed her heart.
After holding a grand funeral for Yueying, Leman Village returned to its previous life. They still robbed profiteers and corrupt officials, and still challenged the dark forces of this world. But in the hearts of each of them, there was one more thing.
An expectation, an expectation that must be fulfilled for that girl.
Time quickly turns into dust along with history.
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed...
The development of Lyman Village has reached another level, and it has become the nightmare of all lawless people in the entire Aaron Continent. In the minds of those people, the bandits who want to kill you are like the God of Death who has come to announce their doom.
Loot their property.
Of course, there are also many poor people who have gradually lived a stable life because of the care they received from the bandits that kill you.
The Gang of Thieves, while becoming the nightmare of profiteers and corrupt officials, have also become the hope and support of all poor people.
Its power is growing little by little.
Spring has passed and autumn has come, and it’s time for the annual selection exam for the band of thieves.
The number of children in the village has increased a lot, and the childishness on their faces has not faded. They all hold the same ideals as Leos and Yueying and become official members of the thieves group.
Among these children, a few talented girls like Yue Ying inevitably appeared, but their status in the hearts of the villagers was incomparable to Yue Ying's.
The boys and girls were practicing hard on the huge training ground. The serious expressions on their faces seemed to make Aleman see the hope for the future of the thieves group.
It took him three years to get over the shadow of losing Yueying. For him, there will never be another child who can occupy his life like Yueying.
Aleman is now working hard to make the Thieves of Death into the most powerful existence.
But beside his bed, there was still a portrait of that girl, with her beautiful and sunny smiling face, which supported Aleman's success step by step.
Her spirit was not stripped away because her body left. On the contrary, it remained in everyone's heart.
However, not everyone is able to emerge from the shadows like Aleman.
Although the blacksmith shop, which looked like a giant's mansion, still made clanging sounds, everyone felt that the sounds were no longer as pleasant as before.
The door of the blacksmith shop slowly opened, and a figure who was still tall and burly walked out, but there were some more wrinkles on his face and many more white hairs.
Three years have made this strong and mighty man seem ten years older.
Whenever he looked at the empty casting platform, he would think of that strong and confident figure.
"Teacher Lowell!! When will you teach me enchantment!"
"Teacher Lowell! I am very powerful! I am already a level 2 warrior!"
In Lowell's eyes, there is often an illusion of Leos still standing on the stage making weapons.
Then he would face the empty stage and echo: "Awesome! The little chicken is so awesome!"
But when he woke up from the illusion, he realized that everything was an illusion.
The heart that had just felt a hint of joy suddenly turned cold again.
Lowell put his broad palms on his forehead and looked up at the dazzling sunshine in the sky.
"Little Chicken, how are you doing there?" Lowell said in a low voice that only he could hear, and then showed a self-deprecating smile.
In these years, Lowell rarely appeared in front of the public. He just stayed in the blacksmith shop and devoted himself to studying forging technology.
He didn't want to let himself have any free time.
Because whenever he has some free time, his mind will be filled with Shiyeli's eyes full of despair, which will make his sense of self-blame even stronger and make him even more unable to face Leos' mother Shiyeli.
On this day, Lowell carried a lot of food and flowers as usual and came to the edge of the Cursed Forest, where Leos' dagger was found.
He placed the food on the grass, then sat down by a big tree, leaned against the thick trunk and drank a few sips of old wine.
He closed his eyes and quietly recalled all the scenes when he was training Leos. Those happy past events seemed to be his only comfort to himself.
Every day on this day, Lowell would sit here alone until the evening, and then look quietly into the depths of the Cursed Forest with a look of reluctance, as if saying goodbye to Leos again, and then return to
Lyman Village.
After returning to the village, Lowell would still come to Leos' house habitually, look up at the lighted window on the second floor, and confess to Hiery in his heart.
But today, the sense of self-blame in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he suddenly plucked up the courage to see what kind of condition Siyali was in now.
Because since Leos' accident, Sierre hadn't stepped out of her house for three years.
Even Aleman, she had never met him.
Whenever Aleman came to her door, he would bow deeply, sigh softly, and spend the whole night drinking to drown his sorrows.
That day not only changed the fate of Leos and Yueying, but also changed the fate of everyone.
Lowell walked to the door and stretched out his right hand.
But just when he was about to smash the door with his hand, the door suddenly opened by itself.
Lowell stared at the ray of warm light coming from the crack in the door with wide eyes, and couldn't help but take a step back.
A girl with a beautiful face came out.
"Mr. Lowell, Mrs. Hieri, please come in!"
"What did you say!!" Lowell couldn't believe his ears.
For the past three years, he has always thought that Mrs. Shiyeli would not see him, but your result today really surprised him.
"Yes, Mr. Lowell! Please come in!" The girl opened the door and led Lowell into the house.
Sitting on the sofa in front of the fireplace in the living room on the first floor of the house was a slim figure who was still beautiful and moving.
This woman's body seems to never age, but there are a few white hairs on her head.
That is the accumulation of longing and sadness.
Although Lowell was a big man with a rude personality, he came to Siyali cautiously and respectfully at this time.
"Please sit down! Mr. Lowell!" Hieri's voice did not change at all, it was still so beautiful and beautiful.
"Oh! Okay!" Lowell gently sat on a chair next to Siyali.
That burly and muscular body looked very funny sitting on the small chair.
"Mrs. Shiyeli... I'm... really sorry!" Although Lowell had many things to say to Shiyeli, these few words were the last ones that came to his lips.
Hiery nodded and looked at him with a smile: "It's okay! Mr. Lowell!"
Lowell was startled, and immediately felt that Hiery seemed different from before.
The despair in her eyes disappeared, but on the contrary, they were full of hope and confidence. Such a look was not at all what a mother who had lost her son should look like.
Lowell suddenly felt that Hiery might have had a mental problem and gone crazy.
Siyeli stood up, walked to the window and looked at the bright moon outside the window, the fire of hope in her heart seemed to have never been extinguished.
"It's not your fault, Mr. Lowell, and you don't have to blame yourself, because Leos...is not dead yet!"
Lowell's eyes widened and he couldn't believe what Siyeli said.
At that time, so many people rushed into the Cursed Forest but failed to find the shadow of Leos. If it was not eaten by a monster, what would it be?
(It seems the lady is really crazy!) Lowell thought to himself.
Hiery seemed to see Lowell's doubts, and then showed a mysterious smile: "Because the goddess has told me, she said that Leos will be back soon!"
At this time, goosebumps all over Lowell's body stood up. He suddenly felt that Mrs. Hieri's body revealed a suffocating temperament.
From that day on, Lowell's self-blame became much worse.
Soon, the day came for the selection exam for the thieves group.
The boys and girls gathered at the training ground one after another to prepare for the upcoming battle.
Among them, there are many evil figures.
The six young men have grown much taller and stronger, and now their strength has reached the level of retinues.
But that Puton was already at the level of an interrogator, two levels higher than them!
His genius abilities even shocked Aleman.
It's just that the evil in his heart is stronger than before.
Puton looked at the boys and girls in the entire training ground with a confident face. He was sure that today he would be able to surprise everyone and make Aleman recognize his existence.
As the game time approaches, the training ground becomes even more noisy.
It seems that everyone is excited and can't wait to show off their abilities in front of everyone.
At this moment, a tall and handsome figure approached the sentry post of Leman Village step by step.
Behind him, there followed a beautiful girl wearing a tight-fitting black leather jacket. Her long purple hair parted in the middle made her look very queenly. Her body was breathtaking and alluring, but her face was like an iceberg beauty.
.
The tall and handsome figure was shrouded in a hooded cloak.
The huge hood covered his face, but it couldn't block his heroic aura.
Behind him, there is a bright red one-handed sword, but the hilt is black. This sword is like a demon's sharp teeth filled with blood, revealing a breathtaking power.
The tall and handsome young man came to the sentry post and was immediately stopped by two sentries.
Then they glanced at the glamorous woman behind the young man.
"Stop! Who are you?" the sentry asked sharply. For the two guys of unknown origin in front of them, they instinctively felt an irresistible and suffocating energy.
The young man raised his head, revealing a pair of blue eyes under his huge hood.
A voice full of magnetism and temptation, enough to make any girl fall for her, sounded from the handsome young man.
"I'm...an old friend!"
