Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight finally waiting for you
The afterglow of dusk hits the leaves.
A middle-aged silent man with ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes, holding the cross sword at his waist in his right hand, walked expressionlessly on the path of the gray mist forest.
Behind him are a group of dirty children.
There were about twenty people in total, and they looked a little confused. Because they were chewing black bread in their hands, they were not too panicked.
There were several armed adults guarding the group of children on the left, right and behind.
Although they were dressed in ordinary clothes, just like the wandering knights or adventurers that can be seen everywhere on the continent, their capable movements and alert demeanor faintly revealed that they were not simple.
Yes, these people are not adventurers or mercenaries, but truly well-trained elite soldiers from the army of the Kingdom of Desia.
The man at the head was a confidant of King Longbottom and was very trusted.
His name is Eddie, he was born a slave and has no surname.
They came here this time just to deliver food to the witches hiding in the Gray Mist Forest - these children.
Of course, only Eddie knew the true purpose of this operation, and the other soldiers were unaware.
Suddenly, an ethereal bird call sounded in their ears.
The children all looked surprised, whispering sounded, and looked around to find the owner of the sound.
When several well-trained soldiers heard this voice, curiosity flashed in their eyes, but when they saw the children's team falling into the noise and chaos, they frowned and yelled loudly.
The children were frightened and immediately hissed and did not dare to speak.
Eddie then turned around, glanced at the children and other soldiers indifferently, and then turned back.
He didn't know when he saw a snow-white bird appearing not far in front of him, standing quietly on a tree trunk, looking at them with lively, human-like eyes.
Eddie was looking at it too.
Snowbird, with its beautiful appearance, hides the power of seducing people, and is a good helper for witches.
This was not the first time Eddie met it, but every time they met, it was not a pleasant memory.
The eyes of the children and soldiers in the back already showed a look of intoxication, their minds were in paralysis, and they stared blankly at the snowbird.
A proud smile appeared in Snowbird's eyes. Yes, Eddie assured him that he saw Snowbird's eyes like this, and then it flew up in an extremely elegant posture, flying in a certain arc.
Children and soldiers couldn't help but follow the snowbird as they walked through the gray mist forest.
Eddie touched the palm of his left hand, which was the place where King Longbottom gave him strength and protected him from the temptation of Snowbird.
He watched the children and soldiers passing by him, while he himself walked silently from the leading position to the last position.
The scenery on both sides is darkening rapidly.
Darkness comes earlier in the forest than outside.
In the darkness, a trail suddenly appeared in front of them.
Waves of tempting candy scent appeared ahead.
The children and soldiers came to their senses and looked up. At the end of the path was a gourmet hut made of candy.
The snowbird has stopped on a branch covered with thorns.
The rest of them looked surprised and uncertain. The children didn't think too much. Seeing so many delicious foods, their eyes were filled with hunger, while the soldiers seemed much more alert. A strange hut suddenly appeared in the gray fog forest. What do you think?
These are not normal things that happen.
They began to seek decisions from their superiors.
Looking ahead, Eddie was no longer in the lead.
After looking around, they discovered that their commander, Eddie, was standing at the very back with a calm look on his face.
Seeing Eddie like this, the soldier felt much more at ease. He raised his head and was about to walk over to report. As soon as he took a step, he stopped and looked at Eddie's position with horrified eyes.
Eddie was a little surprised. The reaction of the previous soldiers was what he expected. The previous batches of soldiers were like this.
But why do you feel surprised and scared when you look at him?
He looked at the soldier carefully, and then he realized that the soldier's eyes were not looking at him, but at the position behind him.
Eddie's heart trembled. As he turned around, the cross sword had been drawn out, and he made a powerful and heavy horizontal slash towards that position.
"Ah!" screamed.
Eddie thought to himself, and sure enough, the strength in his hand became a little stronger, but immediately, Eddie felt an unshakable force coming from the tip of the sword.
The sword in Eddie's hand could no longer cut.
Only then did he see clearly that the person holding his sword with his fingers was a strange man wearing a black cloak.
Next to him was a handsome-looking man with an aristocratic temperament.
At this time, he was covering his mouth with his hand. It was obvious that the exclamation just now came from his mouth.
"I finally waited for you. Fortunately, I didn't give up." The strange man said in an almost aria-like tone, with a bit of joy in his eyes.
I saw him muttering to himself, "I didn't expect that the Candy House is actually an independent demiplane-like place. If the connection is normally disconnected, it will not be in this world at all. No wonder I haven't found it after searching for so long.
!”
"It's no wonder why Candy Cottage has avoided being hunted by the Lord of Holy Light for so many years?"
"This demiplane is really a good thing. The most important thing is that it can meet people's living conditions, which means it can live in people and the land's output is also very rich. Unfortunately, the place is a little small."
William has now stepped into the land of the Candy Cottage.
The magic mirror has completely scanned the entire candy house and reported everything to William.
It is said that it is easy to invite gods but difficult to send them away.
Just forget that William couldn't find it before. Now that the old witch has taken the initiative to open the passage to welcome this batch of "delicious food", don't think about sending William away so easily.
To the old witch, William is a "plague god"!
Especially when the magic mirror found numerous children's bones under this land, murderous intent filled his eyes.
The Kingdom of Desia, the Kingdom of Louis, and the Principality of Salzburg all have very similar tones.
So Eddie could understand everything William said, and he could guess even if he didn't understand.
But just like this, the uneasiness in his heart became more intense.
"Do you know who you are facing now? It is the noble and powerful King of the Kingdom of Desia and the special envoy of King Longbottom. You will..." Before Eddie could finish his threatening words, William disliked his noisiness and raised his sword.
Take it away and break it into pieces.
Eddie was speechless immediately.
He knew in his heart that threats were of no use to the mysterious man in front of him!
He retreated tactfully, looked at the soldiers surrounding him, and directly ordered, "Come together and capture him."
