Before evening, Brando had obtained a map of the hunters' secret routes into the forest. This was thanks to the hard work of the bald boss of the Carriage House - or rather, intimidation. You must know that these forests are only known to hunters.
Each of these secret trails has been passed down from generation to generation by the hunters in the area. If it were not for the safety of their own families, it would be almost impossible to hand them over to outsiders.
Of course, the identity of Earl Brando and the royal knight also played a big role. Ordinary people always have this subconscious understanding: a dignified noble has no need for such a secret.
On the contrary, they heard that another knight from the royal family was going to rescue their relatives personally. These people couldn't help but be very grateful, and even offered themselves to be the guides of Brando and his party, but they were all declined by Brando -
- It's not that he thinks he can be more familiar with the northern forest than the locals, it's just - bringing a burden for this little convenience is really not worth the gain.
The time is quickly approaching sunset.
A red sun is slanting into the mountains on the west bank of Lake Valentin, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the whole world into a golden-red haze. Under this twilight, a convoy consisting of only one cargo carriage is leaving
The north gate of Qianshui Town. Brando drove his war horse at the front of the team, advancing along the crescent-shaped beach by the lake. His shadow was stretched by the setting sun, as if it was a silhouette of the gloomy North Anlaser Forest ahead.
Brando raised his head and looked at the forest buried under the shadow of the mountains. The dark tree canopy, like countless nails arranged upwards, stretched to the gray background of the Canary Mountains, which was a vast cedar forest.
A series of hoofbeats sounded behind the ears.
Brando turned his head to the side and rear and saw a bright purple. Charles's robe was fluttering slightly in the evening breeze. He was sitting on a chestnut-colored horse and came up from behind. The Highland Wizard and other schools of thought
Compared with wizards. Because he had an experience as a knight's apprentice, he more or less mastered some riding skills. This young wizard is undoubtedly the best among them.
"Hey, Lord." Charles held the reins with his snow-white hands and held a cane in one hand, saying his unique greeting: "I just got something interesting, you must want to see it."
Brando was too lazy to look at the smiling guy. In his field of vision, the sunset in the eastern sky faded slightly, and a transparent light blue appeared. A few white stars dotted the blue night sky, looming. A cool breeze blew across the lake,
Floating golden fragments of light rippled on the waves, like several strips of light.
He was bathing in the evening breeze and snorted softly: "What is it?"
He knew very well the temperament of the guy who had been following him for a long time. If he showed too much interest, the guy might become complacent and betray him.
As expected, Charles laughed dryly: "Then the hotel bill..."
Brando thought that the bald man had quietly tampered with the bill in the end. He couldn't help but sigh - forget the mischief. He was caught out - this was really disappointing. "Just a philistine.
, there is no need to argue with him."
"No, no, no," Charles shook his head: "I don't think he is that stupid. Did any of us replenish supplies in that hotel?"
Brando was slightly startled: "Supplementary supplies? Of course not, but you can ask Laurenna and his wife. Maybe they bought something."
"I've asked, but they don't know, Lord."
Brando turned around, with a suspicious look in his eyes. The convoy carried out its last supply at Fort Kurk, and there was no need to add supplies after that - he became vigilant: "What is going on?"
"I asked the waiter—"
"——Char, tell me the important point. If you keep pretending, I will kick you into the lake." Brando replied angrily.
"Okay, okay," Charles quickly raised his hands in surrender: "Lord, this is what the waiter said. The little girl with us asked him to buy these things."
"Then he put the blame on us?" Brando was slightly puzzled when he heard this: "Does he think we and the little girl are in the same group?"
"They are indeed a group - but this is what the little girl said herself, if the waiter is not lying." Charles spread his hands on the horse.
"Wait!" Brando reacted immediately: "You said she left the bill to us?"
"I'm afraid that's the case, Lord Lord," Ciel laughed: "Successfully plotted to seize Grudin's lord, and forced the orthodox nobles to recognize it. Protected all confidence and hope, saved the Ring of Trade Winds, and went there alone
Ampelsel defeated Grand Duke Sifah and the Temple of Fire. Count Tonigel, who had never suffered any losses, did not expect that he would finally capsize in the hands of a little girl today - if you tell me this, no one will believe it.
.”
Brando raised his head, straightened up, faced the direction of the forest, and urged his horse to run faster. He squinted his eyes in the wind, turned around and replied: "That's right, this is really too bad.
"
Charles couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw the proud look on his lord's face. Naturally, he couldn't catch up with Brando, who was riding a horse. He could only shout from behind: "...Sir, why do I feel that you look so conspiratorial?
The look of success?"
Brando smiled slightly, but did not answer. He was not only in a good mood, but in a very good mood - Mikayah Everrey is a famous name in history, the Witch of Aruche, the Rebel, and the Golden Witch.
, businesswomen of equality and sophistry, but one of the most famous—
Undoubtedly the ruler of Bunosong, the lord of the Winter Country, and the King of Witches.
She is the master of time and space and the heir of the witch Eufkyleia of Nothingness. She is known as the most unique one among the twelve series of witches. Because she is a witch, but she also pursues a rebellious path to escape the witch's destined destiny.
, was once called a 'rebel' by witches.
But it was such a rebel who eventually gained recognition from the Crown of Winter and became the first Witch King to unify the twelve lines of witches after a thousand years.
Mikaya is a native of Eruin, but before the Third Black Rose War, she left Eruin for Cruz with her teacher. Before that, the Witch King had been living in Aruche, Lantonilan.
, so she is also called the witch of Aruch.
Since then, Mikaya has experienced a wandering life for nearly thirty years. When she became the Witch King, Eruin had long ceased to exist. Therefore, Brando did not have much interaction with the Witch King, and the name was like one of many
One of the stars floating in the dazzling sky of Warnd. Although brilliant, it is just a wave in the long river of history.
But the current meaning is slightly different——
Mikaya is still a little girl, but her talent is undoubted. Brando now doubts whether the 'parents' mentioned by the other party really exist, because she behaves more like an orphan. Although she thinks so
It's a bit disrespectful, but this is really great news for Brando.
It is obviously much easier to seduce an isolated and helpless little girl with a stable and generous environment than to persuade an aristocratic couple to hand over their child to his education. From Mikaya's behavior, it can be seen that she must be a food and clothing provider.
Asana, maybe he got lost with his parents.
But Brando didn't turn the horse around, because he remembered that Mikaya would officially become a witch around March next year. He still had a lot of time before that, and anyway, he had already asked the innkeeper of the Carriage House to help him
Pay attention - although he didn't think that the little girl would continue to stay in Qianshui Town after committing the crime with her calmness and intelligence.
But it doesn’t matter, there is still time.
Brando galloped in the wind with his horse, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The three heroes of Eruin, Valkyrie, Antitina, Belu, Tamar, and Caglis were outstanding.
Young people, if coupled with the Witch King from the other side of history, more and more outstanding talents are gathering on this big ship sailing out of the storm.
The history of Eruin may really change because of this.
From dusk to nightfall, everyone in the convoy saw the figure of the young lord galloping wildly under the moonlight. He ran a long circle along the edge of the forest and then circled back to the starting point. He seemed to be particularly high-spirited.
.
However, few people understood what the Earl was thinking. Only a slightly cold gaze was always watching the silhouette under the moon silently.
Summer nights always fall extremely late. Although a full moon has already been running over the blue-gray mountains, the burning sunset is still reluctant to take back the last ray of light. Until after eight o'clock, the lakeside
Only then did the forest completely darken. If we were in the Tonigel area, the forest would already be filled with the sound of insects, but the cedar forest seemed particularly cold.
The falling temperature and the solid white frost on the pine trees seemed incompatible with the season.
However, Brando did not slow down the convoy. Instead, he returned to the carriage and urged everyone to keep moving at the same speed. From here, enter the Foy Fork and completely enter the North Anlaser Forest. This place is far away from the Needle Hills.
Far away, there are frost monsters living in the cedar forest. They are level 20 monsters. Even experienced hunters can easily subdue them.
Of course, it depends on traps and cooperation.
But what Brando is looking for is a more beautiful creature, and the first night into the forest is especially important to him——
He tightened the reins, slowed down the horse, walked around the carriage filled with supplies, and carefully checked the condition of the shafts and wheels. Moving forward on the uneven road in the forest in cold weather would cause heavy wear and tear on the heavily loaded carriage.
, so we need to be more careful.
Brando has experienced many adventures and naturally has relevant experience.
But when he walked to the other end, he saw a familiar face. The female knight was sitting on a dark horse, holding the reins with both hands, looking at him calmly, as if she had been waiting for him here for a long time:
"The first night is important, right?"
Her voice was calm and cold.
After night fell, the cold wind began to bring a chill. It seemed to sweep through the forest, and Brando shivered. He held the reins with one hand and looked at the female knight:
"Who are you anyway?"
"It's not important, let others camp." Nymesis swept her ebony-like hair behind her ears and glanced at him from the corner of her eyes on horseback: "Follow me and bring your three
Attendant."
As she spoke, she turned the horse's head, leaving him with a handsome back view.
"Wait..." Brando was stunned.
"Idiot," Nymesis replied with her back turned, "Don't ask so many meaningless questions. Isn't your mission to capture the Crystal Deer? I know where it is."
It was like a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and landed directly on Brando, leaving him completely frozen there.
