Lorraine Hill took Lottie to the forest near the town, because there were more monsters here and many targets needed to be dealt with.
"The lord issued many tasks, and we also rushed here from other places."
Beside the two men, there were several other adventurers, some young, some slightly older, wearing various armors, holding spears, scimitars, and crossbows.
Because the goals of this mission were many and very close to each other, they stopped by and started chatting on the road.
"Is this Miss Mecia's sister?" Several people were familiar with Lorraine Hill, but this was the first time for Lottie to see her.
"No, but she is also the junior whom I was entrusted by my friend to take care of." Lorraine Hill said this. Although she looks young and has the youthfulness of a girl, other adventurers who have seen her strength have not.
Feel strange.
"Haha, that seems to be very powerful." Several people laughed, and then walked through the forest together.
There are no roads in the forest. If a few people don't walk a certain distance, they will leave marks on the trees. This will make it easier to come back and avoid getting lost.
"Originally, according to general practice, when entering the mountains, you have to find local people as guides."
"Unfortunately, there have been a lot of adventurers recently. Good guides have been hired for a long time. Others have heard that they are hunting monsters and are afraid of being affected, so they are reluctant to come out." They explained briefly, and Lottie looked at the tree trunk curiously.
Cross mark engraved on it.
"I don't know the name of this lady yet." One of the young people seemed to have a good impression of Lottie and kept looking for topics to talk about.
"My name is Lottie." She replied simply.
"What a good name, my name is..." Then the young man began to introduce himself, but looking at Lottie, it seemed that he didn't listen.
As a young lady from a duke's family, she has received countless compliments and admirations since she was a child, so her thoughts have been clear for a long time.
But because she stayed with Lorraine Hill, Lottie didn't want to make the relationship too tense.
The group of people moved forward like this, exchanging a few words from time to time along the way, until a ranger in the team stopped and squatted under a tree.
"Wait a moment."
He pushed aside the grass and looked at the pile of feces below, looked at it carefully, and then stood up.
"That monster should be nearby." As he spoke, he took off the short bow on his back and began to prepare for battle.
"Are you here so soon?" The young man was a little regretful. He hadn't gotten to know Miss Lottie yet.
Although Lorraine Hill was more handsome and beautiful, he also understood that it would be difficult for him to pursue this talented swordsman girl, so he turned his target to Lottie, who was easier.
After a few people thought about it for a while, they began to move forward in small steps. In response, Lorraine Hill took Lottie to the side. Their mission was not here, so they continued to move forward. Of course, they would also avoid the hunting range of this team.
.
After the two left, they thought about walking to the other side of the hill.
The shade here is thicker, the ground is covered with moss, and the air is slightly humid. It seems that there is a water source nearby.
Because few people come here, the bushes here are relatively dense. Before walking a certain distance, you need to use your sword to split the thorns blocking the road. After walking forward for a while, a sound of water splashing came from the front.
Is there a waterfall? Lorraine Hill thought to herself, and then heard other sounds. She stopped temporarily, and Lottie behind her stopped unconsciously, and looked curiously at the girl in front of her.
Shh.
Lorraine Hill raised his finger to indicate a low voice, and then listened carefully to the subtle voice coming from the direction of the waterfall.
"Did you find the thing?" The voice came from under the waterfall. It was very weak. If it weren't for Lorraine Hill, others might not notice it at all.
"Not yet, but I'm sure it's in this forest."
"That Viscount Moreau would occasionally come out at night and then disappear in this area."
"Are there any tunnels or ruins?"
"It should be, but the people we monitored before were only Sequence 3 people, and their concealment abilities were average, so we didn't dare to get too close."
"Although Viscount Moruo himself is average in strength, he has many family heirlooms in his hands and can sense the life around him. This is why his family can often avoid assassinations in noble struggles."
"And the more you stay in a sparse and sparse place with few people, the better the effect of this treasure will be."
"Sure enough, it is a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. It still has a lot of heritage, but we also have enough information."
"Let's wait for a while, the organization will send elites to support, and then we can win it safely."
"Unfortunately, if the previous operation had not failed, we would have known what kind of treasure was given to Viscount Moreau. It cost a lot of money to find an alchemist master to make it. During the period, we also hired the 'White Bee' organization to escort it until Long
We only received the news near Yi Province."
The two negotiated for a few more words, and then separated. After the sound completely disappeared, Lorraine Hill and Lottie walked out.
"What happened?" Lottie asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just heard some secrets." The girl recalled the assassins she met on the road and had some ideas in her mind, but she was still not sure. After all, the information was still insufficient.
Let's have a good chat with Miss Charlene when we return to the city. She should know about the organization "Fire-Eyed Warbler".
Putting aside the thoughts in his mind for the time being, Lorraine Hill took Lottie and continued forward. With the help of the rugged rocks on the mountain wall, the two jumped and climbed up to the upper reaches of the waterfall. At this time, they could finally see a
The color is verdant light green jungle.
There is a group of baboons living here, which used to be fine, but recently several of them have mutated or advanced and become extraordinary monsters. They guard this water source and cause a lot of obstacles and troubles to the local people who are logging in the forest, so
It only takes two people to handle it.
Seeing outsiders coming, a few bad-tempered baboons howled, then jumped down from the tree, picked up rocks from the river, and threw them hard at the two of them.
Whoosh——
The girl easily avoided it, while Lottie raised her sword and split the flying gravel. The swordsmanship she learned freely was not the light and wandering style, but more like the sharp opening and closing of the sword in the military formation.
The art of cutting.
Perhaps this is also the tradition of the Paskar family, which values military strategy. Even as a girl, Lottie was greatly influenced by this.
"I'll deal with the three on the right, and I'll leave the two on the left to you." Lorraine Hill simply divided the work, and then swooped over with a flash of his body.
"Understood." Lottie held the black sword blade and looked intently at the two baboons whose bodies were as gray as iron. Then she swung the sword down violently, making a sharp whistle in the air.
The sharp sword edge broke through the hard skin and cut into the thick bone and flesh, cutting off the baboon's bones, causing it to roar in fright and rage, and slapped down its thick arm like a hammer.
There was another fierce exchange, and the black sword blade struck at the approaching giant palm, cutting through the hard skin in a shower of sparks, bringing with it a splash of blood.
The hot blood splashed on her face. Without blinking, Lottie moved a few steps again, brought the killed steel baboon to one side and fell down, and then used its cover to avoid the attack of the other one.
After consuming the magic power, the young girl gasped and picked up the sword again. The sword began to glow with a fiery light, and then swept violently. An orange-red sword blade flashed past and cut the baboon in half when it attacked again.
After the execution was successful, both baboons fell to the ground dead, and Lottie sat on the ground in pain.
It was finally solved. She panted and turned her head to see what was going on at Lorraine Hill.
"Very soon."
On the other side, Lorraine Hill held a long sword in one hand. She waved it briefly in the air, then put the sword back into its scabbard and walked back slowly. Behind her, the baboons had already fallen quietly by the river.
