Hawkins didn't understand at all, he thought Jonathan was perfunctory to him, he wanted to simply challenge Jonathan like Arthur challenged the golden lion, but he wasn't sure if Jonathan was willing to compete with him in a separate magic competition, after all, in terms of swordsmanship, he was by no means Jonathan's opponent, let alone fused magic and swordsmanship.

But just as he was a few steps away from Jonathan's horse, Rick's horse came up and blocked Hawkins.

"We're going to go now. Rick said politely and sincerely, "So it's really not the time, but I'm sure if you need Jonathan, he won't turn you down." ”

Hawkins pouted unhappily.

When the golden lion said these words, Hawkins couldn't say anything more, and he knew that even if the golden lion was also perfunctory, he couldn't do anything now.

So, after glancing hard at Jonathan, Hawkins put away his wand and turned and walked back.

Jonathan and Rick looked at each other and smiled. They were all thinking, sure enough, like attracts like.

Arthur rode over, Aunt Kasan still had an unhappy expression, and yelled at Arthur: "Stinky boy, you are now a member of Team Six, if I let me know that you have disgraced Team Six, I will not only pick up your skin, but also pick out the things in you!"

Arthur thought about it simply, and felt that the picture was disgusting, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Soon he looked at Naine and reached out to her.

Naine was surprised at first, then smiled and nodded, floated over, grabbed Arthur's hand, and the next moment, she melted into Arthur's body.

Arthur tugged on the reins and rode up behind Jonathan and Rick, telling them, "There's no way around it." ”

Jonathan and Rick glanced at each other, and Jonathan whistled, then knocked his foot on the horse's belly and walked first.

Rick smiled lightly and responded, "That's true, let's go." ”

After waving to Aunt Kasan and the members of Team Six, Rick set off as well, and Arthur nodded to Witt and Hawkins and followed.

After leaving the camp, Arthur asked Rick, "What mission am I going to do?"

Rick replied, "Team Six's most frequent mission, guards. ”

"Huh?"

"Yes, my guard. ”

Arthur was stunned for two seconds, he looked at Jonathan, then looked back at Rick, and said, "You two are better than me, why do you want me to guard? ”

Rick smiled and replied, "I do need your guards. ”

Arthur raised his eyebrows unhappily: "What you need is a follower, right?"

Rick chuckled twice, but didn't answer.

That's all the conversation between the three of them along the way.

Rick didn't answer, and Arthur didn't say anything more, continuing to follow Rick's horse.

Rick walked in front, Jonathan was behind his flank, and Arthur was at the end, and this position was maintained until they reached their destination.

The leader Rick was not fast, so the three of them were always in a state of unhurriedness, and the three horses walked like a walk, Arthur thought that at least today's task was not urgent.

But he'd rather be an urgent and dangerous mission. He really didn't want his first assignment to be a meaningless follower.

Because they were not fast and there was no potential threat, the three of them continued to move silently through the forest, and Arthur's senses were gradually attracted by small sounds.

The sound of horses' hooves stomping on the snow, the exhalation of horses, the collapse of snow somewhere, the chirping of birds from all directions, and the sudden serk of clicks.

Arthur looked up, but couldn't see the body that made the sound, only the dense foliage covered in a layer of snow.

Perceiving Arthur's doubts, Naine asked Arthur, "Don't you know what that voice is?"

Arthur replied in a hearted voice, "It's a woodpecker." ”

"Ah, don't you know. ”

"But there are many species of woodpeckers, and this woodpecker in a cold place is probably very different. ”

"Are you bored?"

Arthur looked at Rick and Jonathan's backs and replied, "It's not boring, it's just ......"

"Just?"

"I don't like the state I am in. ”

"What status?"

"A state of peace with them. ”

"Don't do this, Arthur, you're going to scare me. ”

"What's there to be afraid of?"

"You can't beat them now. ”

"Add your strength and maybe it's different. And Virtgor and Phil. ”

"Hmph, I won't help you fight the head and deputy head of the group, and neither will Witt and Phil. ”

"Huh?"

"I think I kind of get it. ”

"Understand what?"

"What the regiment commander hopes you can learn is to live in peace. ”

"Huh!?"

Arthur wanted Nayin to come out and ask him clearly, but when he asked Nayin again, Nayin was silent.

Nayin's silence caused Arthur's senses to focus once again on the small sounds.

The sound of clattering and tapping was heard many times, echoing again and again in the vast forest.

In these spiral-like echoes, Arthur recalls images of when they first entered the forest.

The snow is deep, and Werther has been observing the terrain, remembering his surroundings, and entering this strange and lush forest to prevent getting lost is the number one priority.

Phil was still sick, curled up in a heavy blanket with snot and shivering. But now he can run long distances in the snow wearing only a single coat.

Old Brun, Brown, Bucktooth Billy They ......

Arthur thought back to his first meeting with them and smiled unconsciously.

Soon he pops out of his memories and looks back at Rick and Jonathan's backs.

He was a guard, after all.

He didn't expect that he would join the Golden Lion Regiment and become a companion of the Golden Lion and be with him.

Everything a month ago is as clear as yesterday, as if all the unbelievable now is an illusion.

He wondered if the illusion would be broken if he suddenly attacked the golden lion from behind now?

He was amused by his own stupid thoughts.

A few hours later, the trio walked out of the forest and into the town of Ponto.

The inhabitants of Pontor Town did not know Rick and Jonathan, and when they saw him arrive, they greeted each other warmly, and the women kept kissing Rick and Jonathan, and the men cast respectful and envious glances at them.

Arthur heard a woman's voice say, "Hey, look, that new face, it's cute!"

"yes, wow, it looks delicious!"

"Seeing that he is still young, I really don't know if I want to hug him or be hugged by him!

"You're so stupid, you can't just try both!"

"Yes, yes, it's good! It's worth it if you try all the styles!"

Those words kept coming, Arthur felt a little hot and awkward, he raised the reins slightly, urging him to step forward, and for the first time took the initiative to shorten the distance between him and Jonathan and Rick.
