After the unknown monster left, Luen asked the loyal old butler. It had to be said that Horn had indeed considered every aspect for Green. If the butler hadn't directly betrayed him, Luen thought, even with all his nominal strength.
It's not that easy to control the situation.
For a noble, sometimes the butler knows and handles more things than the noble himself. Therefore, these housekeepers are basically hereditary for several generations and are loyal to the nobles they serve.
It's a pity that no matter how tenacious your thoughts are, they can't match the distortion of extraordinary power.
"strange things?"
The old butler turned around in his mind several times. Objectively speaking, except for Lu En's performance during this period, the old butler did not hear anything happened, so he shook his head decisively.
"No."
There may be many in the farther and more lively Maika City, but in most noble territories, dullness is the norm, and even the presence of thieves will cause waves in this backwater.
"Well, then pay more attention to the forest area recently, especially the hunters and herb collectors. If you have any problems, report them to me immediately."
Lu En thought for a while and didn't say anything more. Instead, he directly gave instructions to the housekeeper. The latter bowed slightly, then retreated and began to issue the order issued by Lu En.
Regarding the information passed by this unknown existence, let's call it "her", Lu En did not show contempt, nor did he intend to go against the other party to find out what was going on. At any time, life is always
valuable.
However, this does not mean that Lu En will act obediently according to the other party's warning and hide in the castle.
Because, he smelled the opportunity.
Judging from the other party's warning, there should be some dangerous creature in the forest, and it is very likely that it is the extraordinary creature that Lu En is thinking about and wants to find. Otherwise, Lu En is now a count after all.
Ordinary people can't even get close to him, let alone threaten him.
As for the forest in the territory, there is one at the border with the nobles next door. The area is not small, but there are no mysterious factors circulating, at least in recent decades, Lu En can confirm this.
So that means that the risk factor has recently appeared, or was just born, or came from other places?
Lu En raised his eyebrows and touched his chin thoughtfully.
If this is the case, it actually doesn't matter. Although extraordinary creatures are a great threat to ordinary people, Lu En lives in the castle and has the constructed puppet left by Horn, so he can basically sit back and relax.
Unless he really loses his mind and wants to go to the forest or somewhere close to the forest.
"But I'm just a child now, so why should I go to the forest? Or, why is she sure that I will be in danger as long as I get close to the forest?"
It was like there was an explosion in the city next door, and someone ran to Lu En to warn him. It seemed like there was no problem, but in fact there was no logic. It was either comfort based on worry, or...
"This danger is actually coming for me!"
Lu En's expression remained normal, he jumped on the small stool, picked up the test tube on the table, stretched out his fingers and flicked it, his eyes flashed with an inexplicable luster.
"interesting."
...
"Hmph, he is indeed a brat who came out of the academy. He is so calm and annoying. He is exactly the same as that guy from Horn!"
The fireplace licking the firewood was burning brightly, illuminating most of the room. In front of a long table, there were scattered bottles and jars, or the tissues of unknown creatures and some plants, and the air was floating in the air.
An unsettling smell.
"Thinking about it this way, is this guy actually Horn's son?"
Suddenly, a figure with his back leaning against the fireplace and dragging a long black skirt laughed out loud, and then stood up from the chair. His black hair fell like a waterfall, and his figure was unexpectedly tall.
"I thought it was a leisurely job, but I didn't expect trouble to come so quickly."
From the black robe, a lotus-white arm stretched out, took a crystal ball on the table in his hand, and slowly stroked it. The center of the transparent sphere suddenly began to become dense, and collapsed pieces appeared.
Trees and cold voices sounded in the darkness, and the hot flames grew stronger.
"Run away, run away, little guy, you still don't understand what you are facing..."
"No one can escape the eyes of the witch!"
...
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of heavy breathing resounded deep in the forest. Along with some kind of roar and the sound of big trees falling, a huge dark green figure jumped over with a rumble from a distance and landed in a creek.
The icy-cold stream suddenly splashed. In this season, any creature will redefine its fear of cold after encountering water, but this figure is obviously not one of them. The cold stream washes its body, but
It can only make it more awake.
"Damn witch, damn witch servants!"
A suppressed roar sounded from the depths of the forest, and the original chirping of birds and insects all around them suddenly disappeared, as if they felt some kind of terrifying pressure coming from the top of the food chain.
After a long time, the figure stood up straight from the stream, looking at his palm with green eyes. The bone-deep wound on it was healing quickly. At the same time, his hungry body was urging him to find it as soon as possible.
to food.
"A witch can't stop me. As long as she dares to appear in front of me, I can tear her into pieces, these mice in the dark!"
"But those disgusting and twisted creatures, the miserable soulless servants, are some tough guys."
"I must recover from my injuries as soon as possible and then complete the mission!"
The figure stood up straight, and then sniffed its nose. Countless information contained in the air was immediately transmitted to its mind for him to choose. It must find prey as soon as possible and then have a full meal to fill its hungry stomach.
.
"Timber wolves, too little meat and too many bones, a herd of deer, but too far away, and forest brown bears, a good amount of meat!"
The figure strode out of the stream, following the scent trail in search of prey. However, after walking a few steps, the air again carried the smell of another prey.
"Look, what did I find?"
"Two juicy, sweet and delicious humans!"
The figure's eyes lit up, and the huge figure suddenly became as agile as a civet cat. He climbed up the big tree in a flash. Not long after, he saw two hunters approaching with vigilance.
"The sound seems to be coming from here!"
An old hunter's eyes were sharp and his pupils shrank when he saw the traces of collapsed trees in the distance.
"I have an ominous feeling and I should leave here as soon as possible!"
"No, it should have left here!"
Another young voice rang out, full of excitement: "I think...what does it smell like?"
Halfway through the sentence, the young hunter suddenly moved his nose, and then there was a crash above his head, and a huge shadow fell down.
