In the north of the Falling Star Mountains, on the winding mountain road, dozens of black-armored knights escorted a group of carriages to the north.

Barbara poked her head out of the car window, her bright red dress, delicate facial features, and two pointed ears made her stand out against the snow.

"Why don't we take a boat? Wouldn't that be faster?"

Randall, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned around and said with a smile: "The port is crowded with people, and it will cause some unnecessary trouble. ”

Barbara let out a sigh and sat back in the carriage.

In the carriage behind Barbara, Wayne Dunlop looked at the black-armored knight sitting opposite him and swallowed: "Lord Alfonso......"

Alfonso, who clasped his arms to his chest, glanced at Wayne: "Save some tongue, if you have anything to say, you will leave it until you see Your Majesty." ”

Wayne whispered, "I don't mind being a prisoner, I don't mind dying in prison, as long as Your Majesty agrees with me to continue experimenting, I don't mind anything else......"

Hearing Wayne's words, Alfonso stared at the other party and asked, "You should have known the news that Your Majesty is going to escort you to the north, why don't you escape?"

Wayne used his slender fingers to comb his messy hair: "Your Majesty knows me too well, he knows that I won't run away." Because the questions that keep me up at night can only be answered by His Majesty, and the machines that help me discover the mysteries of living things can only be made by His Majesty. My life's pursuit and dream can only be realized under his inspiration and guidance......"

Seeing Alfonso's noncommittal expression, Wayne said with a wry smile: "For me, what I fear more than letting His Majesty imprison him is that he will exile me forever and never allow me to come back, then my life will be more miserable and hopeless." ”

Alfonso closed his eyes: "Remember what you say now, when you see Your Majesty, you will find that lies are as fragile as snow under the scorching sun in front of him." ”

Aldenan, lying on the roof of the carriage, basking in the sun comfortably, squinted at the guarded knights around him.

"Carol, look at the eyes of these people, it's a miracle that we don't have shackles on our hands and feet! aren't they worried that we'll run away?"

The orc, who was sitting alone in the carriage, heard the voice of his companion and said in a sullen voice, "You can try." ”

Aldenan shook his head and smiled, "I bet these knights are also trying to say this to you...... But I'll be honest. I've seen the speed of those horses, and I've seen the power of those black tentacles......"

Carol, who was sitting in the carriage, put her hands under her nose and said calmly: "Look at our appearance, will there be any place willing to accept us? ”

Aldnan let out a long-pitched nasal voice, grabbed the edge of the carriage with both hands, hung his head upside down into the carriage, looked at Carroll and smiled, "Your language has improved a lot, is it because of those love poetry textbooks?"

"Get out!"

After crossing the Falling Star Mountains, the convoy drove north for another three days and three nights.

In the early morning of the fourth day, after packing up the traces of the campsite, the team set out on the road to the north.

As the journey deepened, the forest gradually became so dense that the sun overhead could not be seen, and the roar of Qingyue beasts could be heard from time to time in the wind.

Suddenly, Aldenan rolled over and climbed to the top of the carriage, stood up, pricked up his ears, and sniffed vigorously.

Carol pushed open the door and saw the werewolf look like a great enemy, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"There are some smells in the air, some smells that belong to beasts. Aldenan said in confusion: "Lion, leopard, no...... I've never smelled it before. ”

Before the words were spoken, the horses pulling the carriage also became restless, and they all scraped the dirt with their horses' hooves in place, shaking their heads uneasily.

Barbara, dressed in a pale red hunting suit, walked to the co-pilot seat of the carriage, stood beside Randall, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

"This road was the same way I went south, and everything was fine when I set out, and nothing happened. Randall pulled out the saber he was carrying and said quietly: "But after so many months, no one can guarantee that there will be more on this road." ”

Hearing this, Barbara nodded, and the light blue tattoo on her body slowly brightened. I saw her palms of her hands up, her arms slightly raised, and two blazing fireballs tumbling rapidly in her palms.

Just when the group was nervous, a huge figure jumped out of the forest and appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Seeing the original appearance of the figure, Barbara's eyes widened, and her jaw opened unconsciously because of surprise: "Is this guy ...... Wolf?!But what's the deal with this size?!It's too big!"

A giant wolf with a body length of more than eight meters stood in front of the convoy, vigilantly staring at the uninvited guests in front of him.

Its razor-sharp claws, like long, glowing knives, can easily cut through a tree the size of a basin, and its red mouth has a sharp tooth the size of a pointed hammer that can crush hard rock effortlessly.

Looking at the giant beast in front of him, Aldenan gasped and whispered to Carol: "According to the rumors of those sailors in Twilight City, this guy should be the legendary war beast of the Northern Lands!

Carol jumped to the ground, moved his neck and arms, and picked up a broken tree trunk from the ground, while teasing at Aldenan behind him, "You two are wolves, can't you communicate?"

The latter roared in exasperation: "Don't compare me with such an inferior animal!"

At this moment, Alfonso, who was dressed in black armor, pushed the car door, carried a big sword on his back, and walked towards the giant wolf in front of him step by step.

"Lord Alfonso, be careful!" Randall reminded as he tried to jump out of the carriage.

Alfonsu walked less than twenty meters away from the giant wolf, and the back of the keel parasite suddenly let out a rapid concussion sound.

A short time later, a long horn sounded from the mountains and forests in the distance.

Half a minute later, a heavily armed, tattooed barbarian patrol quickly appeared in front of Alfonso.

The patrol consisted of twelve men, men and women, with different weapons, but they were well trained and disciplined.

The leader of the group, a strong barbarian with a knotted beard and a twisted flower hanging from his chest, saw Alfonso for the first time, and hurriedly shouted and hurried towards the black-armored knight.

Just as Randall drew his weapon and wanted to come forward to help, Carol and Aldnan were shocked, the barbarian suddenly knelt down on one knee in front of Alfonso, and said a long series of words in a hurry.

A frowning Alfonso nodded as he listened, and after listening to the other man's speech, he grabbed the barbarian's shoulders with both hands and pulled the other man up from the ground.

The excited leader of the patrol looked at Alfonso and the black-armored knights behind him, laughing happily as he hurriedly turned to leave.

Alfonso turned around, walked back into the convoy, and said to the people around him, "Keep up with the warriors of the Deep Sand Warband, and they will lead us to Froststone City." ”

Aldenan, who was dumbfounded, looked at the group of strong warriors and walked into the forest with the fierce war beast, and said in disbelief: "There is actually someone who can tame the war beast!"

Unlike the werewolf's shock, Carol looked enviously at the giant wolf that followed the barbarians, docile like a big dog, and muttered, "If only I could get such a giant wolf as a mount......
