The first thing was about Diller's side, and the bad news was that the sleeping Rose still hadn't woken up.

Before, everyone was tired of dealing with the invasion of all kinds of enemies from the dark wilderness, and no one thought about it. It wasn't until they saw Diller drooping his head all day long, and his whole face was dejected, that everyone asked and didn't know what it was for.

Rose woke up after Stint and Diller were promoted to the fourth rank, and then fell into a deep sleep at the end of summer.

Now that it's winter, Rose has been asleep for more than five months.

I don't know what Thor experienced when he was promoted to the fourth rank from the third order, and it took eight months. So Saul used this as an example to try to comfort Diller, but the guy didn't seem to listen.

In fact, Thor still felt a little heavy in his heart.

Staunt and Deller both of them were promoted from the third rank to the fourth rank at the same time, and it took almost three months for them to go. Maybe...... The time frame they consume is normal, and their own eight months may be considered a rare case.

Everyone can't say anything about Rose's matter, so they can only send good wishes to Diller, after all, promotion is not something that can be reversed by manpower. And as the days go by, the heavier the mood of the person who is worried will become.

The second thing is that an adventurer in the city of liberty discovers a strange magic circle in the wilderness.

At that time, after the matter was reported to the adventurer's guild in Liberty City, it did not receive much attention. Later, a team of adventurers went to the field to investigate, and felt that things were a little strange, and the news was transferred to the city hall.

After getting the news, Thor and Stante Diller went to it in person, and the matter of the magic array attracted great attention.

Because Thor had seen this purple magic array before.

The formation was rotating as if it were alive, and an ominous black mist was always permeating the surrounding area. Thor had seen this magic circle in the wilderness outside of Grey Curtain at the time, and had earned him the nickname 'Madman' in the town after running back to report the news.

Now this magic circle is some distance from the Free City, in the wilderness directly east of the Free City. Thor tried to link this evil and strange magic array with the enemy attack on Liberty City in the last six months, but he didn't come to any conclusion.

I can only go home and drag Lorna Cletti and Igrete three magic mushrooms, and find professional people for professional things.

After the three shiitake mushrooms looked at it, they still found nothing, and they could only roughly judge that this was an evil magic array with dark attributes.

Ygrete, who was familiar with dark magic, said that the people who built this magic circle must have been very magical. And this magic array itself cannot be destroyed, cannot be covered, cannot be changed, and cannot be erased, at least she does not have that ability.

This magic array was discovered in late autumn, and Thor hired a team of adventurers to stay around all day long, and until the heavy snow sealed the realm and the personnel withdrew, no anomalies were found, so this matter could only be temporarily placed again as it was back then.

The third thing is because in the past six months, the city of Liberty has been attacked by enemies from time to time, and some strange heretics have begun to appear in the territory.

Dressed in strange black robes, they spend their days mysteriously to death, repeatedly preaching doomsday among the people of their realm.

Thor had grabbed the two of them, and had wanted to ask them who was behind them and what their specific purpose was. However, after using some means, they can't pry open their mouths and ask the slightest content, just like fanatical believers who ignore life and death.

"You want to ask our church to help you clean up the unrest in your territory?" said the Holy Maiden Eletha, looking at Thor with a puzzled expression.

The Holy See of Light has been in the territory for some time, and the church has also been established, but the absorption of believers is very slow. Maybe it's because the city of freedom is still quite rich at the moment, and it doesn't leave much room for the Holy See of Light to play.

The Holy Light Shiitake Mushroom has also settled in the Free City, and the Archbishop of Bernate can occasionally be seen. However, the white-robed old thief didn't know what mysterious things he was busy with all day, and he often couldn't see people.

"It's not to help me, it's to help you teach yourself, don't you care if someone divides your followers now?" asked Thor.

"You don't make excuses, you obviously don't want to get blood on your hands. The holy light shiitake mushroom sneered at each other.

"Strictly speaking, this matter has nothing to do with me, I'm not even a lord, okay? ”

"Besides, isn't it what your church is best at using the banner to arrest heretics?" Thor waved his hand with a look on his face, and threw all the work of cleaning up the cultists to the jumping Holy Light Shiitake mushroom, and ignored it.

The Holy Maiden Ellesha still has a batch of force left in her hands, what are you raising them for nothing, laying eggs?

The fourth thing is more special, in the autumn, Thor actually saw his old friend in the territory who he hadn't seen for several years.

On that day, the patrol members of the street came to the lord's palace to report that someone was looking for them, and they claimed to have come from afar.

Thor went to the temporary town hall where the guests were entertained with an inexplicable face, and the two figures, one tall and one short, stood there, and suddenly turned their heads, making Thor's whole body tremble, and then pounced on the two and gave them a thick hug.

The shorter one is Lorton Weiss, a friend from his time in Grey Curtain and the son of a blacksmith. At that time, Lorton was tall and majestic, but now it is not bad, but Thor himself has grown, and everyone is not much different.

The taller figure, Thor, never imagined that it would be the giant Bart who he met in the abbey back then.

"Am I again, Great Warrior Bondleton?" Bart suddenly straightened up like a soldier under review at the sight of Thor. With a smirk on his face, he said something that came out upside down, almost making Thor redden.

Thor immediately happily pulled the two to the house, filled the bath with hot water, and washed the two of them in the dust.

"How did you find here?How's Grey Curtain going?By the way, why didn't Valer kid come?And aren't you married?Where's your wife, Olga?" Thor accompanied the two of them in the bath, eagerly asking a series of questions.

Lotton's expression suddenly darkened, pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly, and Thor couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Probably after you're gone...... It's been more than two years. Lorton tried to start remembering.

"The endless sea south of Grey Curtain has sprung up with fishmen, and many monsters have sprung up from the sleeping forests to the east, and they have launched a frenzied attack on Grey Curtain Town, when I was still living in the foothills of Bat Mountain. ”

"But now...... Grey Curtain is gone, no, the entire Savyn Territory is gone. My wife and sons, including my parents and friends, such as Valle, are all gone. Lorton's tone was grim and heavy.

Thor took a sharp breath, the fishmen and monsters?

"Erin Joyce, and Rayanna Garfield......" Solburn wanted to ask something, but suddenly it occurred to him that since the entire Savyn territory was gone, he didn't know what to ask.

"I'm sorry, Erin, I couldn't help you keep an eye on her. The monsters of the wilderness came so suddenly, and we had to flee with our families to the city of Koyer, in the territory of Niles, where my relatives and the Valle family ...... He died on the way to escape. ”

Waaler ...... That kid is good, he deserves to be my brother. ”

"As for Miss Rianna of the Garfield family, the year before the monster struck, Valle and I went back to Greycurtain to visit our friends, we received an invitation from that eldest lady. We drank tea in her family's courtyard and talked about you. ”

"Later...... She was never seen again. ”

"Bart was met when I was on the run in the wilderness, and he was following the chaotic party that had escaped from Grey Veil, and I remember you mentioned him to me a few times, so I called him to my side, and we kind of took care of each other. ”

"A line of defense against the monsters has been formed in the city of Kojer, but it seems to be a bit difficult, and many people have begun to flee to the middle of the continent again. Then Bart and I heard rumors about you on the run, and that's how we reunited. ”

"We spent about a year on the road to come to you. Later, after a few months of iron and saving enough teleportation fees, I came to Asokeland City, and then came directly here. Reliving these painful memories, Lorton looked at the vicissitudes of life.

"I'm not to blame you for what happened, I miss Valle and them too, and you along the way...... Great work. Thor's mood was also a little up and down, the old things were swept up one after another, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At the dinner table, Saul solemnly introduced Lorton and Bart to his mushrooms. Shiitake shows great interest in this, especially about Thor's teenage troubles, while Lorton and Bart appear to be very restrained.

Disgusted that the mushrooms were chattering too noisy, Thor moved a small table to the courtyard, and the three of them ate and drank freely.

"So what are your plans next? Why don't you settle in Liberty City? At present, this side is also facing the problem of wild monsters, but the garrison force is enough for the time being, and the life is okay. Thor and the two raised their glasses.

Now Lorton has a beard, and Bart has a messy stubble. The two of them were one second and one first, and Thor remembered that when he left Grey Curtain Town, the two of them didn't seem to have a rank, and they were obviously forced to rise up forcibly during the escape.

"I'll tell you the truth, in fact, we were originally here to take refuge in you, I hope you can ......" Lotton's words were a little difficult, and he subconsciously lowered his head, as if because of Thor's current lordship status and status.

"It's not interesting for you to say that, we are brothers, we were and we are now, and you are home here. ”

"Fate always makes a few lucky hairy boys come to the front of people, and in the end, I just happened to be one of them. So what are you going to do? The Crimson Cross Knights are a good place to go. Saul asked.

"After fighting all the way, I'm alone now, I don't want to swing my sword anymore, I'm ready to go back to my old job of striking iron. As for Bart's side, the battlefield is not suitable for him, so let him follow me, and he has also learned some of my blacksmithing skills. Lorton exhaled deeply.

The next day, Thor personally took Lorton and Bart to find Jeff and enroll them in the blacksmiths' guild. Then Saul also bought a property and a good blacksmith shop for the two, but Lorton refused in panic and was laughed at and scolded by Saul.
