While Xuanyu was trapped in Blue Water City, Louie was advancing towards the Misty Forest. In order www.biquge.info not to startle the snakes, she let the brigade be stationed outside the forest, and she only brought two soldiers with her. In Louie's plan, their mission this time was only to find out the traces of the gang of thieves, and then mobilize troops to eliminate them. Of course, in addition to this, Louie had other ideas, and she was somewhat concerned about the princess's words, if those people were really related to the Praetorian Guard, then it would not be ordinary thieves who supported them. Louis knew what was at stake, and the less people knew about it, the more room for manoeuvre.

Although it was winter, the warm ocean climate didn't make Egrim very cold, but the unique environment of the Misty Forest made this winter afternoon feel unusually bleak. Dead branches and leaves are everywhere, and the cold wind slowly blows into the cracks of people's bones, and the long-term fog makes it very humid, and even in heavy uniforms, the temperature is still much lower than the actual temperature. But fortunately, the direct sunlight dispelled some of the fog from the past, and the Misty Forest was finally not as mysterious and weird as usual.

Louis was joined by the sturdy Edward and the swordsman-skilled Peake, who was the soldier who could see the location of the card map at a glance, and because he was familiar with it, Louis took him with him. As a guide, he is indeed much more reliable than the villagers down the mountain, at least not afraid to move forward because of fear like last time. Edward overcame the obstacles and walked in front, followed by Vic who showed the way, and Louis behind the palace. The speed of the three of them was not slow, but after walking for a long time, there was not a trace of those thieves.

Seeing that it was getting late, although Louis was unwilling, he could only give the order to return. After all, in this misty forest, night is much more dangerous than in broad daylight. However, just as they decided to return, the forest suddenly became foggy! The fog was so strong that it hid the way back in an instant, and not only that, but even the surrounding trees and rocks were gone, and what could be seen was a white expanse.

Louis immediately ordered the three of them to be back to back, not to act rashly, this kind of time is the most taboo to be separated, if they encounter any more fierce beasts, one person is even more dangerous.

"Captain Grande, we can't walk at all in this thick fog, what are we going to do?" Edward asked eagerly.

"Yes, although I am familiar with the terrain, I can't make out the situation like this!" Bick was also worried.

"We'll spend the night here tonight, and we'll find our way back tomorrow when the fog clears." Louis did not make a mistake, but the two soldiers were still preoccupied, and although they were different from the common people, as Egreem, they had heard all kinds of horror legends of the Misty Forest since they were children, especially Bick, who lived nearby.

"Captain Grande......" said Beck, "have you ever heard of such a legend?" Once fog rises in the Misty Forest, those who enter it will never come back. ”

"Phew! Don't talk about this kind of topic at this time! Edward scoffed at Vick's words, "Besides, those are just legends!" ”

"It's not all legends!" "That's where the curse of the House of Marbl began, it's true!" ”

Absolutely true...... Louis echoed in her heart, of course she knew about the Marbl family, and not only that, but she also knew that the survivor of the Marbl family was the owner of the Crescent Manor! However, these could not be told frankly to the two soldiers around him.

"Alright, don't bother! We took a break and the night passed quickly. Louis said as he took bread from his pocket and gave it to Edward and Pic, and the three of them rested together.

According to the usual habits, Louie could not fall asleep so easily, and besides, he was the first to be on duty tonight, but today he somehow felt very tired. The snoring of the two soldiers soon sounded, and Louie's eyes seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and even though he kept reminding himself to be vigilant in his heart, he finally lost consciousness.

When she woke up again, it was already the next morning, and it was Edward who woke her up, his face solemn and anxious: "Captain Grande, Baker is gone!" ”

Hearing this, Louis suddenly lost sleepy, and she stood up suddenly: "When did you find out?" ”

"When I woke up in the morning, there was no one, and at first I thought he had gone to urinate, but he hasn't come back." Edward Road.

Louis looked around, and the fog disappeared. The forest was sunny and peaceful, but she was like an ant on a hot pot, looking for Vic with Edward. I don't know how many circles they made in the woods, they finally found the missing soldier, it was just noon, the sun was shining warmly, but Louis and Edward felt extremely cold, their pores were open, and their hairs stood on end.

Bick died. He was bleeding from seven holes, his eyes wide, and he was hung upside down from a branch. For a moment, Louis thought of the matter of the Marbl family, although he had not seen it with his own eyes, but the picture presented in his mind when he heard about it was like this, but when he really saw it, he realized that the reality was more bloody than he imagined!

Louis could think of the Marbur incident, and Edward could certainly think of it, especially since Vic had talked about it last night. Edward's courage has always been great, but this time he was a little shaken: "Yes...... Curse of the House of Mabril! ”

"It's not!" Louis said to the point, "There is no curse on the Mabril family!" It was those thieves who did it! ”

Edward would be skeptical of Louie's words. But whether the curse is true or not, they must now face the question of who will lead the way when Bick is dead? Louis and Edward, who didn't know the way, made several more circles while looking for Peak, and now they couldn't even get back to their original position.

"Captain Grande, what should I do?" Edward asked a question that kept Louie's heart shut.

However, after looking around, Louis said, "From now on, we must be extremely careful. ”

"Why?"

Louis stretched out his hand and pointed to an open space in front of him: "It's full of traps over there!" ”

Edward's eyes widened, and he searched carefully, and sure enough, he found a hidden net of rope and arrows. But if it hadn't been reminded by Louie, it would have been difficult for ordinary people to see. Edward turned to Louis with admiration: "The captain is so powerful! ”

Louis shook his head and said, "It was Vic who told me, although it seems strange that he is hanging here, but if you look closely, the rope that hangs him is indeed a dead knot made by humans." Not only that, Louis said to himself, "This knot is the same as that of the Praetorian Guard." ”

"Last night, Bick must have strayed into this place and died in an ambush. This also means that we are close to the stronghold of the bandits, otherwise they would not have set these traps and ambushes. Louis continued, "So, we have to be more cautious, in addition to the traps, there may be thieves nearby!" ”

"Hmm!" Edward clenched the sword at his waist, and it was more advantageous for Edward to fight a real enemy than an illusory myth of ghosts and gods.

However, this may just be wishful thinking on the part of Louis and Edward.
