When night fell, Bibo returned to the town of Casvo, and when he saw him, Captain Locke, who had been searching for an afternoon, breathed a sigh of relief, now he only had to worry about those monsters, after the night's vigilance, tomorrow the army would march into the southern woodlands and set up a line on the east bank of the Glen River, "Hey, Bibo, go to the little dagger in town, Sam said that if you can come back, he will order you a large black pepper beef pie, this poor guy has just returned from your house, if you are found later......"

Before Captain Locke could finish speaking, Bibo was already running wildly, the pit clearing to the west was already full of people, the soldiers from the castle of Santeni began to prop up their tents and cook dinner, the chain mail of dozens of horses was being unloaded, and the cavalry were sitting on the barrels that had just been brought and talking loudly.

The noisy little dagger tavern was silenced by Billo's sudden arrival, and the people whistled vigorously to welcome Billo's return, and Sam picked him up excitedly, exclaiming, "Oh my God, you're all right, great!" Bring us a few glasses of ale, and toast and bratwurs! ”

"Isn't it black pepper beef pie?" Bibo rubbed his aching arm and sat down with a frown.

"Yes, Sam, you said that if he was safe, he would each have a drink...... "Randolph began to exclaim.

"Well, that's it, I'll talk about it later...... Please, let's get our Bibo to eat first, he's so weak, tell me what's the matter, did you fall into the river? They haven't been able to find you, and I'm going to beg them to look further south...... I really shouldn't have made such an offer......" Sam picked up the tin cup and drank half of the ale in one gulp, his eyes tired and deaf to the grievances of Randolph and the others.

Bibo smiled, and did not mention the encounter with the magician, but said that when he woke up, he had been washed by the river to the shore downstream, and after a lot of effort, he returned to the house and bandaged it for the first time.

"Oh, it's all my fault, it's pretty much clear, the vanished garrison has been attacked by magic, and after surveying, they say it seems to be some low-level demonic creatures, the town lord and Ser Jerome of Fort Santeny arrive in the afternoon with an army of 200 men, and they will discuss countermeasures overnight, and Fat Hott is also invited to the meeting," Sam finished drinking and began to eat freshly baked bread and sausages, "We are restricted from freedom, Bibo, except for work, the rest of the time is basically only here, I hope it ends soon......"

There was a lot of talk about how things were going, and the townspeople had largely never experienced war, and the 30-man garrison had only hunted down a few beasts, gnolls, and a few lonely orcs in the southern woodlands...... Everyone is worried about the current situation. Sam told Bibo that the mayor and Sir Jerome had asked everyone to assemble in the square early tomorrow morning to announce the defences.

Lying in bed, Bibo couldn't sleep, he found no trace of the gray squirrel, Taiban should have left the Glen River, and the afternoon conversation aroused Bibo's longing for strength and battle, he wished he could carry the sword as he wished, and hoped that he could fight for honor and the defense of his homeland...... The old miner once said that when he was found, he was wrapped in a cloak with blood stains, which may have been the blood of his father's honor.

In the early morning, people gathered in the square in the center of the town, the garrison was assembled and lined up neatly, although there was no gorgeous equipment like the Sir Jerome guards next to him, but under the training of Captain Locke, it looked clean and neat, miners, farmers, some merchants and peddlers gathered here, all whispering, obviously the dazzling sunlight did not wash away the smell of danger, the mayor of the town Geoffrey looked tired, his short and slightly chubby figure was slightly swaying because of exhaustion, he stood on the white marble steps of the town hall in the north of the square, The tall and burly Sir Jerome was dressed in silver armor, his eyes were serious and determined, the knight's royal blue cloak was trimmed with sumptuous gold, the clerk was ready to record everything that had happened, and the fat man stood proudly on the steps in his gorgeous brown leather jacket.

First of all, the mayor of the town gave a long list of opening words, and after introducing the current situation and thanking the king, Sir Jerome's deep and powerful voice lifted everyone's spirits, "The god of light is above, we have encountered some trouble, according to the instructions of the royal council of the kingdom, and the order of the lord of Sunnet Castle, I will lead 200 elite warriors of Sunnet City to this place, the beautiful town of Casvo, and I will lead the army to be stationed in the open space of the mines, and will not disturb your life, But please do not interfere with our deployment and cooperate with us in the fight, and we must work together to repel a strong enemy......" Sir Jerome began to make arrangements for the deployment of his troops and various precautions.

When it was learned that martial law was not allowed to leave the town after 9 p.m., and that the Sabbath had to get a pass to leave the town, there was a commotion in the crowd, and Randolph shouted, "This is all imprisonment...... How can you ......" Before he could finish speaking, the spear of Sir Jerome's guard pressed against his shoulder, and he was so frightened that he did not dare to speak.

"I repeat again, this request is to ensure your safety, I have seen many people who died in monster attacks, and I have also seen people who disappeared but turned into werewolves and zombies and came back with monsters, I hope you don't become such guys!" Jerome glared at Randolph fiercely, and the crowd became quiet, after all, no one wanted to joke with their lives.

After the crowd dispersed, Bibo and Sam began their day's work as the miners entered the tunnel, the fat guy became busy, and the arrival of Sir Jerome and the army made him feel noble, and he began to dress in his best clothes, and as the guest of honor in the town of Casvo after the mayor, he went in and out of the town council chamber after the mayor, and gave warm service to the army station, and lectured the miners in the tone of Sir Jerome, and when he appeared triumphantly at the Little Dagger Tavern, the big guy called him - Lord of the Ore.

Billo and Sam's work was tedious and quickly tiring, weaving through dark tunnels, bending down to pick up large pieces of ore scattered in the high and low caverns, and the fat guy was happy to pay a small fee to let them do the work, and after midsummer this year, the fat guy would make them real miners, and find two farmer children to take over their baskets, the fat guy felt that the boys were restless until Midsummer, and it was foolish to provide stable jobs and honorarium for underage boys.

Later in the evening, Billy and Sam get an unbelievable job at Little Dagger, and the fat guy pays for their pale beer and mysteriously sits with them to announce the news.

"So, aren't you going to pay us anymore?" Sam's face changed dramatically when he heard this, and he felt that the miserable days were coming, and that he would stay in the blacksmith to make horseshoe paws, and that his father would never pay for a son.

"No, no, no, it's a beautiful thing, and the reason why I arrange it this way is because you two are quick with your hands and feet, and you know every nook and cranny of our mines......" The fat guy fell into deep thought, "It's a great honor to be Miss Agnes's guide......"

"You say we're going to be a guide and bodyguard in the mines for a noble lady? I don't think she's willing to deal with stones......" Bibo shook his head, for him to deal with the nobles, he would rather go to the mines.

"Sir Jerome warned me not to mess with this! When it's midsummer, I'll give you processing money......"

Bibo looked at Sam and shrugged, God knows why a noble lady would be so interested in the mines, planning to spend a few months underground.

"They're weird, I've heard they even specialize in roasting voles to make them taste like chicken......" Sam frowned, "God, what are we going to wear to see this noble lady......"

The next day, Bebo and Sam waited all morning at the mouth of the mine, and when it was almost noon, when Sir Jerome and a small group of men arrived, a dexterous figure leaped off his horse and threw a leather backpack into Sam's hand.

"Very well, thank you, Lord Sir, don't worry, I'll start right away." She tossed her long fiery red hair and brushed them with her hands, a delicate emerald dagger tied to her brown motfur coat with a silver belt.

"Oh, dear Miss Agnes, my noble ......"

"Are you two my guides?" Agnes ignored the fat guy as he looked at Jerome in embarrassment, and the tall knight shrugged and turned into the command tent in the camp.

"Yes, yes, honorable, Miss Agnes, my name is Sam, and it's an honor to serve you with my, uh, my friend Billo, we ......" Sam was clearly captured by Agnes' delicate countenance and slender figure, and he stared at her intently, stammering.

Billy frowned, "Sam, put away your saliva and get to work, Miss Agnes, you're dressed like a hunter today, the mine isn't a castle garden, I hope you follow us......"

Agnes blinked her big brown eyes disappreciatively, "I'm not a girl who grew up playing games in the garden, fat mouse, take my backpack, you have to keep my specimens, I hope you enjoy the work......"

Bibo lit the lamp and put it in his hand, sorted out the water and food in the bag, and thought that after today, he would make sure that Agnes would not want to come here again, and he touched Sam, "Fat mouse, let's go!" ”

Sam's gaze reluctantly moved away from Agnes's face, and after taking two steps, he said, "Wait, what did you just call me, Bibo?" Fat Mouse?? You can't laugh at me like that......"

"I wasn't the first to scream," said Billo, who had already entered the mine, shrugging his shoulders and looking back at Sam with an angry face, and then at Agnes, who was giggling with her mouth covered.

"Miss, are you ......" Sam scratched his head embarrassedly, Agnes' eyes were bright and clear in the light of the miner's lamp, "I would venture to ask, how old are you this year?" The darkness gave Sam courage, and he began to fantasize that he was a knight serving a noble lady-in-waiting.

"Next year's Midsummer Festival is my rite of passage." Agnes's tone was light and nonchalant, and she began to look around the rock wall, "Bibo, please slow down, don't go so fast, it's too dark here......"

"It's so dangerous here, how long are you going to stay here, and can you stay until midsummer this year?" Sam naively thought that if he could become a member of the guard, he would be able to confess to his beloved girl like other boys.

"Depending on the situation, it shouldn't be found for a while...... "Agnes snatched Bibo's miner's lamp, "These rocks are darker in color, and the mines of the Peak of Power always produce high-quality iron ore......"

Sam looked at Agnes, who was chattering alone, and touched Bibo, who was impatient again, "I feel empowered, and I'm willing to do anything for her......"

"You're a brainless guy...... She's a nobleman! Bibo frowned, "Don't think about it in your life, when her interest wears off, she will return to Sunnet Castle immediately." ”

"No, no, I'll be a member of the garrison, a knight of the kingdom who guards the noble lady-in-waiting......" Sam stared at Agnes' beautiful back, his voice weakened by the clanging of miners.

"What an idiot fat rat," Bebo muttered, leaning against the rock wall on the other side, "what did she say she was looking for?" What the hell is she here for? ”
