The cold currents did not stop for a moment to invade the shore, and the cloudless sky was a little gloomy, except for the sound of the wind and the waves, it was so silent.

In a rudimentary triangular wooden shed, Ivan was wrapped in two layers of canvas and smiled as he watched Eric walk towards him.

"Evan, how are you feeling?"

Eric casually threw a few sticks of firewood from the front of the wooden shed into the campfire in front of the wooden shed, and sat aside.

"Well, I'm much better now, thanks, Eric, where's Brother Iros?"

"Haven't come back yet. Eric turned his head to look at the west side of the bay, the direction Iros had left when he had gone to gather food, "It's a little later than expected, but he should be back soon." ”

"Hmm... Let's hope nothing happens. ”

"Since Iros volunteered to go by himself, with his character, he would not generally be reckless. ”

"That's right..."Ivan looked a little more relaxed, he rubbed his hands lightly in the warm canvas, and then smiled: "It's just that I didn't expect Iros to be born in a noble family and learn some herbal knowledge, and thanks to the herbs he found, otherwise I would have been drowsy and half-asleep now." ”

Eric was silent for a moment and said, "Rest well, Evan, don't think too much. ”

"Hmm. ”

After being together for so long, Iros has told Eric and Ivan a lot about himself, from part of his life experience to his ideals, which also shows that Iros has regarded Eric and Ivan as partners to rely on.

Eric kept him at first because Iros had extraordinary talents and brains, but at the beginning, Eric was also wary of Iros everywhere, and also used some small events to test Iros's attitude.

So far, Iros's performance has been within Eric's expectations, Iros's birth is very ordinary, and there is nothing very suspicious about his thoughts and behaviors, but his sense of responsibility is very strong, which can be regarded as the characteristic of Iros.

"Aslaty, what the hell is this place..."

Ivan muttered suddenly, and Eric looked back, unable to answer for a moment.

The three of them went to Eslaty, even if they were fleeing and smuggling, and they would not have a good time in that legendary free country without any identity, although they should not be treated as objects like in Volker, but the hardships of living at the bottom are no better.

Eric sometimes wondered if they had gone to great lengths to escape from one hell and run to another with joy.

"Let's hope it's a country like legends, I'm not sure exactly where we're going, but Ivan you need to know this, our journey doesn't end there. ”

Ivan glared slightly, and the way Eric spoke he could gradually understand the meaning of his words, Ivan nodded, but then became a little worried.

"What's wrong?"

"Hmm... Nothing, just a little incredible. ”

Eric didn't expect Ivan to say that, but he thought it was good, because Ivan used to say something presumptuous when he showed this kind of expression.

"Why do you think that?"

"Hmm... I don't know, I just think that so many things have happened in so long, if I were alone, I wouldn't have survived a long time ago..."Ivan smiled slightly as he said, "I always feel like I can solve everything with Eric." ”

It's a qualified answer, although Ivan always shows a dejected expression as before, but it may just be a habit that is difficult to change for a while, because Ivan hasn't said that kind of self-effacing words for a while, and today, maybe it's another turning point.

Seeing Ivan grow up like this, Eric was very pleased.

"Evan, as long as you believe me, this world is ours. ”

"Well, Eric. ”

Ivan nodded happily, his eyes longing for the horizon.

"Big brother!

At this moment, Iros's rapid roar came from the west of the bay, and Eric was startled, and turned his head to see Iros, who was covered in tattered clothes and covered in blood, running towards Eric.

But he wasn't the only one who returned, or rather, it wasn't humans at all, nor were Worthon's native orcs with him.

The three wolf-like beasts roared out of the woods, perhaps impaired by the sudden sight of light, and the three beasts took two steps back, looking around vigilantly, familiar with the bay they had never set foot in.

"Evan, hurry up, we have to go!"

Eric turned to Ivan in a commanding voice, then helped Ivan up, who was still weak, and let Ivan lean on his back, and Eric walked quickly towards their boat.

"Iros, get on the sails!"

With a wave of his hand at Eric, who had turned his head to speak to him, Iros headed straight for the hut, bent in front of it, grabbed the wrapped canvas and rolled it up and carried it on his back, and then ran towards Eric and them.

At this time, the three beasts also re-locked their targets, they had observed Iros, a prey they had never seen before, for a long time, and did not hesitate to attack after making sure that he was not a threat, but the cunning prey seemed to be very good at using all kinds of terrain against them to avoid their pursuit.

But the law of competition in this jungle is that if you don't die, you will die, and if you let go of the prey, you may get a horde of revenge.

The three-headed beast chased after him, even feeling a little tired, until he had never set foot in it.

Because of the increase in the number of prey, the beasts regained their sight and observed for a short time, and understood that the prey was preparing to flee, and they decisively chose to pursue at full speed.

"What are those beasts, Iros?"

Eric didn't turn his head, but his voice was loud, and Iros, who was behind him, could hear the problem clearly.

Although the three-headed beast looked like a wolf, the structure of its body was a bit like a wolf orc, and Eric didn't feel the magic fluctuations on its body, which means that it was not a monster, could it be said to be a mutant?

Iros's answer proves Erik's guess correct.

"They are fallen orcs, hybrids of orcs and beasts, and although they are scarce in number, they are more threatening than ordinary beasts!"

Fallen orcs...

"Heh, the orcs in this country are really human-beast-eaten..."

"Big brother!

"Huh..."

Eric gritted his teeth, as an elemental body, his strength is linked to Evan, in order to reduce Evan's burden, he began to limit his strength appropriately, and now this state can not continue to be limited.

"I'm sorry Evan. ”

"It's okay Eric, please give it your all..."

Eric smiled slightly, and began to absorb Evan's magic at a relatively gentle pace, and Evan felt a feeling of dizziness and almost fainted, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was already on the ship.

"How's Evan?"

"It's okay... It seems that this time... I'm not fainting..."

"Well, Iroth—" Eric turned his head to notice that a fallen orc was already very close to him on the right side of Iros, and was about to leap to pounce on him, so he yelled, "Iros!!"

Hearing Eric's shouts and seeing his gestures, Iros understood his situation, and he made a quick decision, suddenly slowed down, turned and smashed the canvas he was carrying to the right.

At this time, the fallen orc that had just jumped could not retract its movements, and it was smashed down by the heavy canvas in mid-air.

But before Iros could run away, the other two fallen orcs blocked his way, one behind the other, and the one who was hit quickly got up.

Eric picked up the ship's cloth-wrapped sword and threw it at Iros with all his might.

"Iros, pick it up!"
