Within the Principality of Loria, in the Royal Hunting Ground.
After the death of the previous Grand Duke, power was officially handed over to his daughter's husband, the former bodyguard, the clever Tom.
After several years of being a grand duke, Tom, the former low-class person, has acquired some dignity of a superior person.
He was wearing a gorgeous tights that was typical of the aristocracy, and had a mustache on his lips to show his majesty. He was riding on a group of pure black horses, with quivers hanging on the back of the horses. Tom was holding the horse rope with one hand and holding the horse rope with the other.
Holding a long bow, he was surrounded by nobles loyal to him, and behind him were well-equipped soldiers with high morale.
At this time, they were walking along the lush forest path, chatting in a relaxed tone.
Suddenly, Tom felt a bright white flash in the corner of his eyes, and his heart was excited.
He immediately looked up and saw a pure white wild deer flying past him, as fast as lightning, and stopped in the bushes not far from him. It was as agile as its talking eyes.
He was looking at Tom quietly.
Tom's heart felt like it was struck by lightning, and a strong desire suddenly surged in his heart - I want to get it!
Guard Tom, oh, no, it was His Royal Highness the Grand Duke Tom of the Principality of Loria. He immediately pulled out a long shining silver arrow from his quiver, put it on the long bow, squinted his eyes and aimed, and shot the long arrow, moving like a flowing cloud.
Generally smooth.
The arrow leaving the string is very fast, but even faster is the movement of the white deer.
Tom's eyes only saw a flash of white shadow, and the white deer appeared on the other side of the bush, easily dodging the attack of the long arrow, looking at Tom with eyes full of human disdain.
Tom's heart suddenly became angry, and his desire for this white deer became stronger.
He gestured to the nearby men, and the noble followers immediately spread out in all directions, hunting the white deer from all directions.
The white deer did not sit still and cried out "Yo yo". Finally, it looked at Tom with disdain, and then jumped and ran deep into the forest.
This look deeply stimulated His Royal Highness Tom, who had always been ridiculed in the local aristocratic circle for relying on women to get to the top. His brain became hot, he slapped his beloved horse's butt on the crotch, took the lead, and chased after the white deer.
"Your Highness..."
"Your Highness..."
The noble entourage and soldier guards behind were all shocked and rushed over after Tom.
Gray mist quietly emerged from everywhere in the forest. It was obviously a sunny day, but the visibility in the forest was getting lower and lower.
At some point, the noble entourage and soldiers all lost sight of Tom.
The new Grand Duke of the Principality of Loria lost contact with them. Now, the faces of these people were really pale. They were panicking, shouting, and wanted to find Tom's whereabouts as soon as possible.
On the other side, the former bodyguard Tom chased the white deer and unknowingly came to the depths of the forest.
The white deer's body was as fast as the wind, and the leaves and shrubs in the forest often blocked Tom's sight. Gradually, there was only a faint white shadow in Tom's sight. In the end, even the white shadow disappeared without a trace. Tom's sight
Only then did he come back to his senses and look around, only to find that he had come to a dark and dark place. The wind blew through the branches, making shadows and shrill sounds.
An ordinary person would have been panic-stricken a long time ago, but as a guard, Tom had a strong heart and looked as usual, calmly checking the surrounding environment and being cautious.
The forests of this era are not safe. In addition to dangerous carnivorous beasts such as tigers, leopards, bears, and wolves, there are also more dangerous bandits.
Of course, this is a place specially designated by the Principality of Loria for hunting and entertainment for the nobles and the Grand Duke family. The army regularly inspects the entire forest, so there is no place for bandits to survive.
But beasts are inevitable, and Tom has to be careful of large carnivores, such as bears weighing several tons with one shot, or packs of wolves.
Especially wolves. Facing bears and tigers, Tom has a horse and can escape, but if he is hunted by wolves, he will be in danger.
"Oh, my wise Highness the Grand Duke, is it the darkness that has covered your eyes and made you feel uneasy?" A cadence-like voice like an aria suddenly sounded, startling Tom on the horse.
Tom looked towards where the sound came from.
A magnetic voice, a black round hat, black goggles, black clothes, a black cloak, and a shining silver rapier.
All these things were gathered together in a tall and thin man, and they suddenly overlapped with a certain character in Tom's mind.
Tom couldn't help but blurted out, his voice trembling, "Zorro...sir!"
The man walked out of the shadows, his cheeks exposed in the dim light. Although the eye patch and round hat blocked part of the area, from the mouth with a short beard, Tom was more sure of his guess, "Lord Zorro, really
Is it you?"
"It is truly an honor for me to be able to have a majestic Grand Duke call me your lord, and it also makes me frightened, Your Highness." The man said with a faint smile.
This man is naturally William.
William returned to the Kingdom of Alva, first dealt with the accumulated political affairs, and then continued to delegate power to the officials in the cabinet who performed their respective duties, while he once again went into hiding.
In fact, after William recovered all his magic power through meditation, he released the transformation spell on his body, put on Zorro's clothes again, picked up Zorro's sword, and after using the magic mirror to detect Tom's whereabouts,
Ruyi Cloak teleported to the royal hunting ground and used a little trick to lure Tom to him.
After seeing that the person who came was "Zorro", Tom was overjoyed. In his memory, this "Lord Zorro" was a hero who could tear apart tigers and leopards. With him here, he no longer had to worry about his own safety.
"For a true hero, any good name and respect are not too much, Lord Zorro! I didn't expect to see you here? How did you come here? Where have you been in these years? I haven't seen you in many years
I heard your news on the mainland!" Tom got off the horse, led the horse, and walked quickly to William.
"Haha..." "Zorro" played by William smiled and said, "Maybe it was the guidance of fate that made me meet you, Tom."
William said pointedly, avoiding answering Tom's other questions.
However, Tom could not hear the deep meaning of William's words, but looked at William with admiration, "Master Zorro, are you also chasing the white deer? Don't worry, I will come back when I get back.
Gather the army, even if the whole forest is turned over, we will find the white deer and dedicate it to you!"
"White Deer?" William pretended to be "surprised" for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although I don't know what you are talking about, I am not here for the White Deer!"
