Chapter 6: The Looming Witch Cult (Part 1)

After a short pause in the town of Hamres, the caravan continued its march to the territory of Merthers, and when they finally arrived at the town of Serrano, it was six o'clock in the evening. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is already the border of the Merthers territory, and there are two forks in the town, one of which leads straight to the village of Alam.

Just in time for dinner, Arashi and the caravan found an inn with enough empty rooms and decided to stay here for the night. Although they would have to go their separate ways the next day, the caravan would take a different route, arriving at the large towns within the territory and transporting the goods to the local chamber of commerce.

At the same time, Caiyue and his party, who had just set off from the royal capital at noon, had just passed through the small town of Frul, and they had just bought dinner in the town after choosing to travel overnight.

Everything is lonely on the avenue at night, and the light of the stars keeps disappearing from the field of vision, and Caiyue, who has finished eating bread in a hurry, pats Rem on the shoulder and motions for the other party to hand over the reins to him.

Looking at Caiyue Pleiades, who took over the driving rights from his hands, Rem asked worriedly, "Pleiades, is it okay?"

"Don't worry, you can have dinner in peace. Natsuki patted her chest, "If I just let it run forward, I think I can still do it." Besides, if something really happens, isn't there still you next to me?"

"Yes. "It's rare that the maid who doesn't complain, holds the wheat bread and eats it in small bites, and it is not a pleasure to sit on the royal seat and eat dinner.

The wind blowing past his ears always blows fine crumbs of bread in beautiful arcs, and Rem, who has put down his food after just a few bites, looks at the front of his eyes with a worried face.

The road illuminated by the silver moon can vaguely see some distant scenes. But deeper, there was a dark touch of nothing, and the anger of his sister was missing, and the closer he got to Merthers' territory, the more worried Rem became.

"Don't be cranky. Sensing the movement of her companions, Natsuki waved the reins and said, "They'll be fine, we'll definitely be able to catch up." ”

"Thank you. Rem did not refuse Pleiades' comfort, and when she told Natsuki about her situation today, she was still worried that the other party would refuse to return to the territory, even though she was ready to disobey Lord Rozval's orders.

But Natsuki agreed without hesitation, which did surprise her a little, after all, she heard that something unpleasant happened between him and Mistress Emilia. Now Rem is beginning to understand a little why Lord Rozval would evaluate the Pleiades as 'his own'

"Thank you, it's not meant to be said to your companions. Natsuki smiled at Rem and stretched out her hand to point ahead, "Is it okay to just keep running forward?"

"Well, further on, we will reach the small town of Hamress, and as soon as we pass through there, we will already begin to approach the territory of Messers. ”

"If we keep on the road, how long will it take us to get to the mansion?"

"The earth dragon given to you by Lord Kurshu is running very fast, and if we travel at this pace overnight, we will probably be able to reach the mansion by noon tomorrow. ”

"Good. Cai Yue, who was a little relieved in her heart, didn't say anything more and began to stare at the front intently.

Will catch up, will catch up, Amilia, you must wait for me!

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As the morning light slowly descended, Arashi, who had left the small town of Serrano with the caravan, was sitting at the fork in the road to say goodbye.

"Lord Knight, don't you really need me to provide you with the Earth Dragon Mount?" said Renault, dressed in a tuxedo, with a slight hesitation, "It may take a day to walk from here to the village of Alam. ”

"It's okay, I'm going fast. Lan waved his hand, politely rejecting the other party's kindness, "Then I'll take my leave first, goodbye, everyone." ”

"Goodbye, Master Knight. Renault, who nodded helplessly, took off his hat and bent down to salute. When he straightened up, he found that there was no Arashi in front of him.

After looking left and right to make sure that he was not dazzled, Renaud asked the entourage beside him, "What about the knight?"

He ...... He...... Only...... Suddenly...... Missing...... It's over!"

The corners of his mouth were crooked, his eyebrows were comically wrinkled together, and Renault inexplicably understood what the knight chief just said, 'It's okay, I'm going fast'.

At this time, Lan was already flexibly shuttling between the forests, this forest should be part of the Forest of Warcraft, and from the distance he had just been advancing, there were many Warcraft howling at him on the ground.

"It's going to speed up. Lan smiled evilly and looked at the red lotus who was lying on her shoulder, hooking her claws to her trench coat. Even if he didn't pay attention to the road scene ahead, Arashi's figure still shuttled flexibly between the tree trunks, and occasionally a few small branches growing horizontally from mid-air were cleverly avoided by his body before they came into contact with him.

This way of rushing reminded him of his days in the Hokage, where he spent most of his time traveling through dense forests every time he went out on a mission, and after a long time, he had developed this strange skill.

For Lan Da's bad idea, Honglian didn't even have the strength to open her mouth to complain at the moment, so she had to shake her head desperately, after all, it was essentially just an ordinary pastoral dog.

Reaching out to grasp the red lotus in the palm of his hand, Arashi shoved it into his arms, and when his half-vacated body landed, his right foot kicked the branch, and then jumped high like a longbow stretched to the extreme.

A figure in a white trench coat slammed out of the dense canopy of trees, like a bird unfettered and free, floating across the clear blue sky.

Stretching his body into big characters, Arashi felt the feeling of the wind passing through his ears at this moment, and the hearty laughter that he had not seen for a long time somewhat explained the joy and wanton in his heart.

A rare thought of wanting to play came from within his body, and Lan opened his mouth to meet the whistling wind, and shouted with a smile, "The wind is coming." ”

It seemed that for a short moment, Lan felt that the wind blocking her in front of her had all disappeared. With the crack on the wrist of the left hand, the crack of the dragon-shaped bracer deepened, and the wind elf in the air showed unusual joy, but the link that had just been established with the wind elf was quickly cut off by some kind of force.

Lan, who could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, secretly thought in his heart: Sure enough, he is particularly popular with the wind elves in this world, is it because of the wind control swordsmanship?

Such doubts only lingered for a moment, and then Arashi tossed them away, as he smelled the strong smell of blood wafting through the air.

Controlling the rise and fall of his body, Arashi was approaching the village in front of him when he noticed a group of strange people dressed in dark clothes and wearing peaked hoods at his feet.

At the moment when their eyes met, both sides noticed each other's presence, and compared to the strange costumes of the group of people on the ground, Arashi jumping around in mid-air was undoubtedly more attention-grabbing.

I wanted to surprise this guy who was scurrying around above his head, but the strange people who were too fast on the other side disappeared like a swarm of gophers into the dark purple circle of light that opened at the bottom of his feet.

"You say someone has flown over your heads?!Are you showing me your laziness when you choose to come back and tell me?Go and ...... him Wait, leave that guy alone, there's something special here. ”
