The friendship that a single daughter of a little nobleman can get is short-lived, although they go to the kingdom of Swifland together, Merlin and Nissa go in different directions, and the rest of the journey, they go their separate ways.

According to what they heard, the Kingdom of Sswiftland is now more and more chaotic, not only the nobles are in a mess, but some workload organizations are also involved, and it is difficult to distinguish between expansion and counter-expansion.

After the market day, Merlin hit the road...... This time she was not alone, the little goblin Rosa transformed into a middle-aged coachman, and the one pulling the cart was still a bone horse, and the illusory goblin added an illusion to her and turned into a majestic white horse.

Two days later, the Free Commonwealth bordered the Kingdom of Sweivland.

A long and narrow dirt path winds its way from the distance, and at the end of the road is a small town, the outside of which is made of logs...... In times of war, even a good citizen can become a bandit at any time, and it is already customary for every town to spontaneously build fortifications and organize defenses.

Originally, Lanluo Town was just an ordinary town, occasionally with hunters or rare adventurers passing through here, but during this time, the population movement of Lanluo Town increased greatly, and every moment, adventurers and refugees wearing various weapons came and went, some went to the hinterland of the Swiveland Kingdom or teamed up to the Lockerbie Forest in the east, and those refugees had only one destination...... Anywhere in the Free Federation, as long as it's far from the war.

Although the town of Lanlo is somewhat remote, because of this, the military defenses of the Free Federation and the Kingdom of Sswiftland are not so strict, and it has become a transit point for adventurers and refugees. And this once unheard of town is now showing a deformed prosperity, with all kinds of shops springing up like mushrooms after a rain, forming a thriving commercial street.

However, it is only this street that has changed, and the rest of the buildings in the town are still small and dilapidated...... In those narrow alleys behind the high street, from time to time there was the smell of shoddy ale and the boisterous laughter.

As usual, there are already quite a few customers in this tavern called 'Passion'...... As a result of the economic catalyst, the tavern industry in Lanluo Town has also flourished. Don't underestimate the refugees, many of them are very wealthy, they are just trying to escape the war, and they will definitely not be stingy with the money they should spend.

'Passionate' is one of the best compared to other pubs, and the home-brewed Fagari is well-known and a famous trademark. As a result, its attendance has always been the highest in the town's taverns, and today is no exception.

The guests were mostly adventurers, but there were also some merchants and petty nobles fleeing the war. For adventurers, there is nothing better for them to squander their money than a large bowl of wine, a large cut of meat, and a woman with a big breast, and for those merchants and petty aristocrats, the bustle is a sight in itself to pass the time of boredom. Therefore, every evening, the 'passionate' tavern is often very lively.

In the corner of the hall of the tavern sat a young woman in a cloak, and the men sitting nearby looked at her from time to time with lewd glances, for it was a beautiful woman who did not shoot or buckle, and in recent times, although only a hint of the hood was exposed, it was enough to make people covet her beauty.

The crowd discussed in low voices, and a few rude fellows even made vulgar gestures at the woman openly. It's just that no one has come up to talk to me for the time being, because anyone with a little brain knows that it is unlikely that such a beautiful woman would come here alone.

Sure enough, a man walked over after a while. His face was a little ugly, and he sat down next to the woman.

"How's that?" Merlin asked faintly.

"I found a few men, and stuffed them with money, and at first they said they were fine, but as soon as I mentioned passing through the Lockerbie Forest, they immediately changed their attitude, and refused to give me a guide. "The man is the illusion of Rosa, the elf of illusion, and she is a little depressed because Merlin does not allow her to use illusions.

Lanluo Town is a post station into the Lockerbie Forest, but the terrain of the Lockerbie Forest is complex, and it is not easy to travel between a large area of rainforest...... In fact, she can also fly over, but according to the information she has, the wizarding organization in this area is very active, and the gun shoots the first bird, Mei Lin is not in a hurry anyway, and she can't do it, so she will go around.

"You go out first, let's try somewhere else. Merlin sighed softly, it seeming that she couldn't get help in the usual way.

Soon after Rosa left, Merlin also stood up and prepared to leave, when two big men in leather armor leaned over and said to Merlin in an unkind tone: "Beauty, our boss wants to meet you." ”

"I don't know him. Merlin said calmly.

"Of course you don't know you now, but soon you and we will get to know each other very deeply. The two big men smiled hideously on their faces. The two of them, one left and one right, blocked both sides of her, and three or four people stood up from the table next to her, and surrounded Merlin.

As if resigned to her fate, Merlin did not struggle, and was pushed and shoved by the five people all the way to the back door of the Passion Tavern, and those around him had nothing to do with themselves, even if someone found out that something was wrong, they would not care about the years.

"Get out!"

One of the big men pushed Merlin and forced her against the wall of the alley.

In the blink of an eye, six or seven adventurers rushed out of the back door. These people are outlaws, in and out of the black fields, and each of them has a lot of lives in their hands.

The man in the lead, with a sturdy figure and an exaggerated giant axe on his back, stepped out at the end.

"Boss, this little girl is not only beautiful, but also looks like a rich nobleman, but I don't know why she is alone. A guy with a sharp beak and a monkey's cheek said loudly.

Another big man continued: "A real aristocratic woman doesn't come to a tavern alone, I think she must be a liar." ”

The rest of the people all looked at each other a few times, showing a look of understanding. Even in the Free Federation, the status of the nobility was transcendent, and the murder of the nobles by commoners was a very serious crime, and the state investigated and punished it very strictly. But if it's a liar, then no one cares if they die seventeen or eight.

The leader looked at Merlin greedily and swallowed visibly. He had never seen a woman with such a posture several times in his life, let alone had the opportunity to get close.
