When the first rays of the morning sun shone on the town of Boone, an army of about 3,000 men quickly marched in the direction of the town, led by a child of the Juggernaut family, named Augustine, accompanied by the golden axe Morildo, the high mage Lola, and the cleric Vilnas.

"I heard that Vitry, a spirit-level shooter, died in the Forest of Sighs a few days ago. ”

A tall man pushed the crowd of onlookers, trying his best to squeeze himself to the front.

"It can't be, that's the top master of the principality. ”

Hearing the tall man's words, the side immediately questioned it.

"It's dead, my old cousin was a captain in the army, and I heard him say that he died a miserable death, and there was hardly a whole corpse left. ”

Another man spoke, but before he could finish speaking, he saw Morildo's fierce eyes that threatened to tear him apart at once, and he immediately lowered his head and stopped speaking.

The town of Boone is under martial law.

The most important area to be inspected is the crowded tent area.

"Jin, you have to be careful when you go out these days. ”

Shatiya came early in the morning to deliver breakfast and whispered to Zhou Gongjin.

"I see, Shatia. ”

Zhou Gongjin hugged his fists and had an easy-going attitude, as if nothing had happened recently, and took over the breakfast meal that was obviously over.

Bidding farewell to Xia Tiya, Zhou Gongjin opened the curtain and looked at the soldiers who had obviously stepped up patrols outside the door, and kicked Xing Daorong, who was still snoring beside him.

"I think it's time for us to do it another way, you go and prepare. After Zhou Gongjin finished speaking, he then whispered a few times to Xing Daorong.

"Maybe you can take advantage of that little girl's skin downstairs. ”

After listening to Zhou Gongjin's words, Xing Daorong came to him with a serious face and said with a serious face.

Zhou Gongjin was silent, and Xing Daorong was no longer bored, walked to the next room, knocked on the door, took four guards, and walked out of the hotel.

Since Xing Daorong left, Zhou Gongjin slowly went downstairs.

Shatia sat at the counter with her head tilted on her cheek with one hand, and on the table were stacks of gold coins, with fine workmanship and intricate patterns.

Zhou Gongjin recognized that this was the gold coin style from Heavenly Court, and it was also the purest gold, and it was the money he paid to her yesterday.

"Huh~ Why did you come down?"

When Xia Tiya heard the footsteps, she looked up and saw Zhou Gongjin watching her from the side.

"Are you going out?"

Zhou Gongjin hesitated for a moment

"I've come to bid you farewell. ”

"Resignation?"

Shatia was a little incredulous.

"When will you be back?"

Her beautiful eyes drooped, Shatia bit her red lips tightly, and was silent for a while before she spoke.

Zhou Gongjin stared at the slightly hopeful gaze and sighed slightly in his heart.

'I am a person in the play, how can I talk about youth and love. ’

Slowly took out an object from the green shirt, it was a palm-sized wood carving, the wood carving was dull, although the shape was small and chic, but not rounded, it was obvious, it was just carved not long ago. This is a woman, with long curly hair hanging down her waist, and a delicate melon seed face with a slightly dull expression, looking a little lonely and helpless, which makes people feel pity when they look at it.

"I'll send you!"

Zhou Gongjin opened his mouth and placed the wood carving on the counter in front of Xia Tiya.

still has a smile like a spring breeze.

"Can you pay it back?"

Holding the wood carving in her hand, Xia Tiya seemed to understand what Zhou Gongjin meant, and her tone trembled slightly.

"If there is fate, naturally we should meet each other. ”

Zhou Gongjin arched his hand and made a gesture towards Xia Tiya.

'Meeting is also fate, and parting is not without fate. ’

......

The royal capital of the Duchy of Vic, the royal palace.

The old king calmly looked at the commander of the Great Army in front of him, who was kneeling on one knee, and said nothing.

The daylight slanted slightly, and a long red carpet fell from under the 9-meter-high floor-to-ceiling windows, and a breeze blew through it, bringing a pleasant smile to Ben's sweaty guard's face.

"Then untie the defenses and let the adventurers go in and find their way. ”

The king broke the silence.

Grad is here today to report on the recent changes in the town of Boone, the adventurers gathered in the town have made the army hoarded near Marfa Peak anxious, and many adventurers will sneak in every day to find the so-called 'city in the sky'.

And the most important thing is that the so-called canyon after entering Marfa Peak is like a demon with an open mouth, and none of the adventurers who entered it have returned safely so far.

"Yes. ”

Grad looked at the old king, who was getting older, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, bowed his head, put his right hand into a fist on his left chest, bowed, and slowly turned away.

Seeing the long shadow of Grena, dragged in the sunlight, disappear in front of the gate, the old king sighed a little dejectedly, and now he was seventy-three years old, and he was already powerless to do these things.

"Is Sam back?"

The old king turned his head to look at the captain of the guard, Fles, who had been guarding him all along, with a gentle smile on his face, this was the person he trusted the most, otherwise he would not have stayed by his side.

"Not yet, according to some ministers, the second prince seems to have recently arrived near the town of Boone. ”

Flask looked at the old king's already cloudy eyes, and his heart was like a mess, but he still replied respectfully.

After listening to what Forles said, the old king closed his eyes slightly, and said softly with a look of remembrance.

"We've known each other for thirty years, and I remember that I was just a prince back then, and you were just a little guard by my side, and now you're old. ”

Hearing what the old king meant, Forres hurriedly bowed his head and raised his right hand into a fist on his left chest.

"As an immortal warrior, I will always be your most loyal guard. ”

The old king seemed to be very happy when he heard this, and even the twilight on his face dissipated a little, and he only heard him whisper

"I want to ask you to do me a favor, as an old friend. ”

"You command. ”

Forles was a little panicked, it was the first time the old king had spoken to him in such a tone, and it gave him the feeling that he was giving an account of what was going on.

The old king pondered for a moment before he said solemnly, "The eldest prince Delrio is not a man worthy of entrusting this country, I hope you can go to Boone to protect Sam and bring him back." ”

With that, the old king stood up and patted Fleets on the shoulder.

"I don't know who to trust but you, because you're the one I trust the most, Fries!"

"Please rest assured, I will use my life to protect the safety of the second prince. ”

Forles knelt down on one knee and swore solemnly.

The old king waved his hand and sat back on his throne.

"Please take care of your health. ”

Forles gave the old king a deep look, for he knew that this might be the last time they would ever see him in their lives.

"I see. ”

So saying, the old king closed his eyes, and looked no more at the back of Fleet's departure, for he had to live until the day Sam returned.
