He took the bucket to the lake to fetch water, chatted with Savana for a while, caught a few fish by the way, and then Thor sent the fish to the dragon Thyus.

This kind of life should not last long.

After he is promoted to the second order, if he is lucky enough to be alive at that time, he may set off. Leave these friends, leave this little remote place in Grey Curtain Town, this territory.

As for where to go, Thor doesn't really have a clear goal.

Maybe being young is like this, always wanting to run wild at an age when you can still be wild, and always wanting to turn the world upside down with the strength of one person.

I always want to walk on the road, I want to go to the other side of the mountain to have a look. Maybe when you get there, you will find that the scenery on the other side of the mountain is actually no different from this side, but after all, you still want to walk through it.

For Saul, it would have been a quiet and ordinary day, as it should have been.

Later, when Thor traveled through the long river of time, and then looked back and thought about it carefully, in fact, many things seemed to start from this day. After all, the world has prepared enough dangers for everyone, and some people have been unknowingly changed their fate.

Many things were actually made up for at the beginning, but under the chase of time, we made choices in a panic and hastily made a move to determine the winner or loser.

When you understand the right and wrong of this decision, we will never go back.

When he returned to the Gravekeeper's Cottage from the wilderness, Thor always felt as if someone was watching him in the dark, but he looked around vigilantly and found nothing.

Claude and Sylvana had also snuck behind their backs to scare themselves, but those two were outliers, and Thor had never doubted his perception because of this.

Standing in front of the wooden door of the hut, Thor paused slightly.

He stared at a spot in the crack in the door, then crouched down to pick up a small stalk of grass that had fallen to the ground as a result of opening the door.

It is clear that someone opened the door and visited his cabin while he was away.

This hard-to-find grass stalk is a small means arranged by Thor for early warning, not very clever, but very practical.

The thieves were unlikely, as there was nothing to covet in the hut, and Thor knew exactly where his money was hidden.

The lock on the wooden door still hangs quietly, suggesting that the visitor may be a thief and has some skill in picking locks. When he opened the door and entered the house, he put the lock back on, perhaps trying to pretend that no one had come.

So who could it be? Thief, could it be Shogues?

However, the reason is a little unreasonable, Xiugus must have come here to find himself, if he saw that the door was locked and he was not there, Xiugus should have no reason to forcibly open the lock and have to go in.

Drawing his sword, Thor cautiously pushed open the door to the hut and entered it carefully.

Outwardly, the visitor should have left, but who knows if there will be any hunters still waiting for them in the dark.

Including the cellar, Thor inspected it up and down. There was no one in the hut, but someone did, and it was supposed to be Shogues, that was Thor's final judgment.

Because in his own bed, there is a heavy money bag.

Opening the money bag, there were two golden eagles on the most face, dozens of silver wolves, and some scattered copper shields left, from which Thor judged that the visitor was likely to be Xiugues.

After all, the only one who will come to him to deliver money is Shogues. On a few occasions before, he had hidden his coins with him for temporary safekeeping, in order to avoid being confiscated by Corver.

Saul knew very well that Corvier was not a snobbish woman, and that it was just a little game of cat and mouse between men and women.

It seems that this guy Xiugus has been working hard lately, and his big personality can still save such a sum of money.

Thor smiled slightly and poured the water from the bucket into the tank. However, the next moment, he carried the bucket that had already been empty, and he kept an inclined posture, and the whole person suddenly froze.

With a frown, Thor turned his gaze back to the bag of coins.

The bag of scattered coins must have all of Shogues' savings, and it looked ...... It's like explaining what happened.

Thor didn't know why he had such a terrible idea out of nowhere.

Shoguels ...... Forcibly unlocking...... Saving, Thor sat on the edge of the bed and carefully polished his long sword, trying to see through whether there was anything hidden behind these things.

But soon he found himself unable to enter concentration and calm, and the feeling of restlessness became more and more intense.

Getting up and walking around the hut a few times, Thor vaguely felt that something might have happened to Shogues, something very serious.

Of course, I also hope that I think too much.

After a moment of silence, Thor did not hesitate any longer, and after some preparations that might not have been necessary, he opened the door to the hut and disappeared into the darkness.

Taverns, monasteries...... Thor walked around several locations frequented by Shogues, but found no trace of Shoghes. As for the Thieves' Guild, Thor didn't even knock on the door and didn't see anyone.

Then he went straight to the guard at the north gate of the town, and finally asked for the exact news here.

About half an hourglass ago, Shogues left the town alone through the north gate and entered the wilderness.

Into the wilderness alone?Thor stared, and the ominous premonition in his heart intensified as if it had been verified.

Thor took out the map he had drawn, and usually went out from the north gate of Graycurtain Town, and there was only one trade route north to Logstown, so Shogues should not rush to Logs Town alone overnight.

And there was no adventure route in this direction, but in the north-east direction, there was a place where Shoghes might well have gone.

Thor didn't hesitate any longer, turned and plunged headlong into the wilderness.

——————

"That little imp named Thor seems to be very shrewd, and it seems that he has smelled the direction, and he looks like a mastermind. Evan's voice whispered to himself in the darkness.

"Very perceptive indeed, I kept watch near his hut, and when he returned from the wilderness he stayed only a short time in the house before setting out. Judging from his actions of searching for Shogoth everywhere, Shogoth should not have left him any message, and in the end he found his way out of his own judgment. One of his subordinates said.

"Now that he's guessing, are we going to do something to stop him?" asked another subordinate.

"Stop him? Why stop him? If he can kill all the thieves in chains, that's his ability, and the protagonist of today's scene is not us, let's just follow and watch quietly. Ivan gave his final instructions.

——————

It's a secluded place in the wilderness, and because there's no value for adventure around, adventurers know about this place, but they rarely make it here.

A ranger's hut stood alone, glowing in the darkness with a gravely coldness.

The profession of rangers has been in decline for many years, and their job was to clean up and cut down some old trees to provide timber for the town, and to replant saplings in the new places that were vacated after the old trees fell.

After the Dark Calendar, the forest ranger became a more dangerous profession than a grave keeper, because the need to be alone in the wilderness forest away from the town always gave people the tension of sleeping next to death.

After being left unattended for a long time, the town eventually had to cancel the recruitment for this profession.

The ranger's hut was spacious and originally had two rooms, one for the rangers and one for the storage of timber. The profession of ranger declined, perhaps at the heart of a homeless man who had nowhere to live, and merged the two rooms into one.

Later, sometimes some caravans who had taken a fork in the road would pass by and rest in the hut, and occasionally in heavy rain, there would be adventurers who would take a slight detour to escape the rain.

Most of the time, loneliness is the dominant vibe here, but strangely enough, the cottage seems to be lively today.

There was a faint light of fire flickering inside, and if you got a little closer, you could still hear the staccato sound of conversation coming from inside the room.

Hughes stood at the door of the hut, looked down at the dagger at his waist, then took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

One of the Thieves' Guild trainee thieves suddenly found him in the town and relayed the news that the Thieves' Guild's leader, Chain, had sent him to the ranger's hut northeast of town.

After getting the news, Shogues did three things.

The first thing he did was to visit Scarlet Rose and learn that Corvier wasn't there.

The second thing is to bring all his savings to Thor, he is worried that after meeting Thor, he will accidentally reveal some flaws in his words, which will affect Thor. I'm worried that if I can't see Thor, I won't even have a chance to say goodbye.

Luckily, Thor wasn't there, and after standing in the dark for a moment, Hughes put the money bag on Thor and turned away

Third, Hughes then returned to the old house left by his mother, and carefully smeared his two daggers with venom, which should be used today.

After doing all this, he resolutely left the town and came to this ranger's hut in the wilderness.

"Look, our great hero has arrived!" the Captain Chain said in a playful tone, hooking a high chair to his side with his foot, and motioning for Shogues, who had pushed the door open, to sit down.

There was a fire in the center of the house, and the thieves around him were leaning on or sitting, and there were also people drinking by the fire, and there were six or seven people, who were also acquaintances of Hughes.

Hughes didn't move, his eyes swept over the corner of the room and saw Covier tied there.

Her hands were tied from either side, spread out, like a crucifixed angel. With his head down, his clothes were torn, he was half naked, his long hair covered his expression and fell to his chest, as if he had fainted.

"Covier!" Shogues cried anxiously

"Don't worry, we haven't touched her yet, dessert always has to be saved for after the main meal to be more delicious, I can't imagine that you kid can hook up with such a high-class product." A grim and dangerous smile appeared on Chain's face.

There was bloodshot in Shogues's eyes, and his eyes were instantly red, but he still looked at the chains and smiled:

"She's just a stupid woman, she doesn't know anything, let her go, I'll take care of anything. ”
