Soon after the appearance of a black chrysalis the height of a stool, it quietly cracked open in the courtyard, and then, a hairy head shattered an eggshell, flew out of it, and stood on the branch of the garden camphor.

The creature flying out of the eggshell was a black owl, which was larger than a normal species, but not noticeable.

The black thing, with his feet clutching the branches and tilting his head to look into the room, stood there in the dim light, the armor-clad guard with the court sword at his waist, revealing the part below his chest.

The black owl looked at the window for a moment, its huge eyes blinking, and its head tilted even more, almost folding in half at 180 degrees.

It fluttered its wings and flew to another camphor tree, facing Prince Anta's room, the owl's pointed beak scratching the feathers at the base of its wings, and its sharp eyes looked out of the window, but it was blocked by the curtains.

The big black bird waited like this for a while, and as it passed three o'clock in the morning, Griffith put on his slippers and sat down by the floor-to-ceiling window, the blur that almost melted into the night, squinting with one eye and the other round.

Time passed, and soon it was dawn.

When the night was about to go out, and before the day came, in the darkest part of the earth, the owl cooed twice and flew away.

And so on, for two days in a row, the black owl returned in vain. It was some kind of strange creature, a sign of ominous and curse, as if to hint at some people's ill intentions towards Prince Anta.

How about Prince Anta, Griffith doesn't actually care. His current 'master' is His Royal Highness Didias, the youngest daughter of Prince Anta, as long as this girl lives well and can provide the big demon with cause and effect points firmly and continuously every day, and the big demon doesn't care if the whole family dies.

This is not the first time that the big demon has shown himself in front of people, Griffith also doesn't like his own temperament, and in the thousands of years he has spent, there are really few people who have really liked him.

Two days later, Princess Didías donned her camouflage jungle costume and prepared to take on Versailles' annual Autumn Hunt Contest.

Griffith was originally going to be put in the house by Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess, but now he can escape from Princess Dias for a short time.

But the demon's gaze passed through the treetops, the grass, the white clouds, and the wheat fields, and came to a place two kilometers away. There, a fat black owl and a snow-white crow were standing on the shoulders of a long-rolled scarecrow, tilting their heads to look in unison.

Through the events of these two nights, the big demon knew that someone had already targeted this seemingly harmless family of Prince Anta, who was already on the decline. The ultimate target of these people may be Prince Anta, but the Prince obviously has a good precaution, which makes them miss repeatedly.

In all fairness, if the big demon is the other party, in this sensitive period, he will definitely catch Prince Anta's precious woman and force him to comply.

And what time is it, autumn hunting season!

In order to complete the tasks assigned by the school, the students of Versailles ran around the mountains and forests alone.

What better time to take hostages?

In order to ensure that his causal points would not be cut off, in order to keep the bell-tying man who summoned him in a daze, Griffith had to be cheeky, and finally made the fifth princess reluctantly agree to take him to the autumn hunt.

"Don't make trouble, Autumn Hunting is very dangerous, it's not appropriate for you to go...... Besides, you're too weak to help. Dias frowned and explained, but Griffith was resolute, thinking that she would summon the other party inexplicably, and it would definitely destroy his original life and family, so she nodded and agreed.

"Let's say okay first, I can take you there. But you have to promise me one thing, you must follow me, not more than five meters away.

As for me, although the strength is ...... Kindness...... It's not bad, but autumn hunting is not child's play, and if something unexpected happens and you're too far away from me, I can't protect you. ”

The fifth princess said this with a serious face, she has been fooled by Anna these days, and she feels that she can really reach the sky with her hand, and she can fill the sea with a blow.

In fact, she originally wanted to say that she was strong, but when she thought that she should be humble, she changed her words to 'strength is not bad', and she felt that she was really low-key and introverted.

Griffith naturally agreed, but at this time, his image in the heart of Didias was not positive, coupled with the rumors that Anna whispered in the ears of Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess from time to time, resulting in the big demon's guarantee not having much credibility in the ears of the girl.

Packed his bags and set off, went all the way, registered at the field camp of Versailles, received a set of camera equipment for forensics, and Dídías took the big demon into the mountains and forests.

The Autumn Hunt at Versailles is mostly a solo quest that requires students to complete the quest independently based on what they have learned in school.

Of course, there are some multiplayer missions that require teamwork, but they are scarce in comparison.

Griffith, as the demon of Didias, is qualified to stand in the latter's position to directly help her do things, and in the eyes of the demon envoy, the ownership of the creature is attributed to the summoner.

With unwanted equipment, Griffith and Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess 'traveled lightly'.

The two went deep into the jungle for two or three kilometers before the evening of the day, and the big demon with a large bag unloaded his things on a small hillside and looked at Chahan in the distance, His Royal Highness the Fifth Princess came over and praised him a few words, and then walked down the hillside to find a relatively dry place to sit down, the subtext was 'some strength, there is nothing to imagine for nothing'.

Griffith was now accustomed to the pride and prejudice of the fifth princess, and he was too lazy to deal with the relationship with children of this age, and in his old mindset, anyone who dared to have such unjustified hostility to him was either 'I'll kill you' or 'you killed me'. ’

The big demon's relatively poor means to deal with the current situation are a little stretched, he is not good at such things, and he simply does not need to disguise something.

Before nightfall, Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess chose a place to camp. She accepted Miss Anna's suggestion to bring a tent, and was carried by Griffith all the way with a large bag, sleeping in the wild and comfortable and warm, so she admired Miss Anna's unparalleled special training that day.

At night, the mountains and forests are a world of animals, with packs of white wolves, ferocious tigers and lions, nocturnal birds of prey and colorful jungle pythons.

And these are not what Griffith is most concerned about at the moment, since Didias came out of the field mission in Versailles, the big demon has been consciously or unintentionally guiding the five princesses away from the rice field where black owls and white crows are stationed.

But after walking down in the afternoon, with the original geographical location of the two sides, it should be far apart. In fact, before the sun set, when Griffith relocked the other party's position, he found that the other party had moved his position and was getting closer and closer to his side.

This kind of thing clearly shows that the position of Didias has been exposed, she herself has no awareness of anti-reconnaissance, and it is only a matter of time before she is exposed, and Griffith actually has the corresponding psychological construction.

Thankfully, the first night passed, and nothing happened.

The other party followed closely in the footsteps of the fifth princess, and carefully kept his distance, he should have felt that it was too shallow to go deep into the mountains and forests a few days ago, and if he did it, it would be easy to be noticed.

After a night without incident, Didias continued to go deep into the mountains and forests with Griffith, who was carrying a large bag, and the big demon kept his promise, and it was not too far from Her Royal Highness the Fifth Princess between walks.

In autumn, food is scarce in the mountains and forests, unknown birds and finches fly around the forests, and migrating animal groups are slowly but surely moving further south in time.

Drawing water between the streams, Griffith made a fire on the bank, and Dias took some dry goods and food from his backpack that were easy to cook and put them in pots. The two sat down around the flames, and the girl spread the map between her legs and studied it carefully.

In the entire mountain forest, the range of movement of the Pi Ge Beast is limited, only within a limited area, and even so, the place to be searched is still a little larger than the two people who are weak.

Taking out a quill and dipping it in the freshly drawn stream, Didias drew a large '×' somewhere on the map. She put away the map and quill pen, braced her slightly wrinkled leather pants, and sighed.

The weather hasn't been sunny lately, but there are a few dark clouds, and it looks like it could rain at any time.

If you think about it, the weather is like this every year during the autumn hunting season, and sometimes it is even rainy from beginning to end, probably because of the terrain and season.

There are many things to be aware of when walking in the mountains and forests, and when it rains, the roads are rough and difficult, and even rest and sleep become difficult, which makes autumn hunting even more difficult.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the rain to hang in the sky. The hazy light raindrops turned into smoke in the line of sight, blocking the view from afar. They land on the leaves and trunks of the trees that have not fallen clean, making a delicate rustling sound that calms the whole world.

Griffith and Didias walked in the drizzle for an hour, and they were not in the mood to speak, and as the rain became heavier, the former temporarily found a hollow hole in an old pine tree in his torso, and Her Royal Highness was huddled with him, her hair still dripping.

Using the dagger to expand the hole in the tree, Griffith took out a piece of oiled paper from his backpack and sealed most of the hole to prevent the drizzle from falling in.
