The dark night is gradually turning white, the sky is waiting for dawn, and dawn is coming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After a successful rendezvous with Dubraan, Leo met with a young mage from the Second Court, Vivien Verpin.
The handsome young mage seemed to be uninterested in everything around him, whether it was the villagers who were grateful to Dade, or the tragic events that had happened that night, or even about the actions of the Necrons and the Cult.
However, to everyone's surprise, he was very interested in Leo and Xiao Nuan, and did something that stunned everyone.
"Mr. Leo, I heard that you are the main warrior who fights off the necromancy, and we need a hero like you to join us."
"Is this a newborn elf? I've never seen anything so petite..."
Vivien invites Leo and Nuan to join their Second Court as representatives of the allies of Taiyan City, and promises Leo that the account of Ampot's previous killing by him will be written off.
Of course, in the face of this incomprehensible invitation, Leo politely declined, but Fei Wen said a word as if she had expected it.
"Alina Verpin is my cousin, and I am also on a mission to save my people when I came here, and I heard that Mr. Leo is on good terms with her, so don't you want to help?"
At that time, Leo looked at him deeply, and the latter smiled slightly, very calmly.
Considering various circumstances, Leo reluctantly agreed to Fei Wen's invitation and joined Fei Wen's team as an ally of Taiyan City.
After explaining the ruins of Gaudun and the things they had investigated, Dubolan and his knights took the surviving villagers and returned to Taiyan Castle along the same route. Originally, Dubran wanted to leave some manpower for Leo, but Leo insisted that he didn't need it, and he could only reluctantly agree.
So the people divided into two teams and ran to their destination.
Dubolan and his party passed through the ruined village of Bethers, and some of the villagers begged to stop and look, and he agreed.
A faint glow filtered through the dense foliage and through the tiny gaps, bringing a little brightness to the charred earth.
After a devastating catastrophe, the village of Bethers could no longer see the intact house, the outermost fence had collapsed, the broken pieces of wood stained with black blood had been stuck in the potholed earth, the tattered corpses were surrounded by flying flies, and above the ruins, a little smoke slowly drifted upward, like a resentful soul.
Dubolan and his party, along with the surviving villagers of Bethes and a few Dideo villagers, returned to the ruins, and their hearts were very heavy.
"Edexcel-sama...
"You said you'd take us with you! You're lying! ”
"Damn ghouls! Damn it! Damn it! ”
A few sharp-eyed men saw the twisted corpses in the middle of the ruins of the village, crying bitterly, and clinging to the old man's body.
"Our Dideo Village should be in such a tragic situation."
“・・・”
A few Dideo villagers muttered, glancing at each other, and they all saw the sadness in each other's eyes.
Yes, who is immune to such a catastrophe?
"Besses Village, Dideo Village, all the tragic things that happened, Taiyan City will definitely not sit idly by."
In this atmosphere filled with sadness, an exceptionally firm voice, like the dawn of the sun, shot into people's confused hearts.
The villagers, who were immersed in pain, raised their heads and looked at Duboran on his horse, who seemed to have become extraordinarily tall.
"Everyone's sacrifice is an extra strength in the future."
"Everyone, keep your heads up and puff out your chests."
"Taiyan City will give you the protection you deserve, and here, mourn every villager who has died."
Du Bolan's eyes were firm, and he slowly drew his sword, held it high, and said loudly.
In the hearts of the villagers, Dubolan's status is rising like a rocket. At this time, these ordinary words made their tears flow uncontrollably, and the extremely touched villagers fell to the ground one after another, expressing their sincere gratitude to the young city lord.
It's really nice to be able to protect someone who is weaker than yourself.
Thinking so, Du Bolan soothed the horses under him, looked at the villagers who had regained their strength, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
The leaves swayed in the breeze, and the faint sunlight streamed through the gaps between the leaves, washing the dark-soaked trees and finally falling onto his resolute face.
"Lord Castle, I have something to report to you."
A man from Bethers Village wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood up, and said in a deep voice.
Du Bolan was stunned for a moment, just met his determined gaze, and nodded.
"Before the ghouls attacked the village, there were people who called themselves the 'Golden Cult' who came to stay for a while, and they seemed to be interested in what was inside the mountains."
"They sent their men and with the help of some of our villagers, who were familiar with the path of the mountains, to draw the map they wanted."
"There are two copies, one of which they have taken, and the other is what Village Chief Edexcel asked me to give to you."
Du Bolan was stunned when he heard this, he was a little curious, why did Edexcel name him?
As if seeing Du Bolan's doubts, the man hurriedly explained, "The village chief has a granddaughter named Tisera, who is one of the knight squires you selected this time, and everyone also knows what happened in Taiyan City from her. ”
"You are the hero who saved Taiam Castle, and the village chief has always felt that those cult guys have bad intentions, so he hid this map..."
The man had a little guilt on his face and didn't continue.
Although the people of the Golden Cult did not protect the village of Bethers under the attack of the ghouls in the end, they prioritized their own retreat. The village chief and some of the remaining cadres died, but they did something to protect them that night, and now although there is some resentment, there are not many.
Dubolan took the map and scanned it continuously.
A map of the surrounding area of the Gordoner ruins in the mountains, Fei Wen and the others had made a special copy, and he happened to have it with him.
Comparing the two maps side by side, although the terrain content is similar, the map on Fei Wen's side is obviously much more elaborate and detailed than the improvised one made by the Golden Sect.
Originally, he was worried that a frivolous person like Fei Wen would lead everyone into danger because he was unprepared, but now he has changed his opinion.
"Actually, he's a very attentive person..."
Dubran exhaled softly, his eyes flickering, and placed both maps in the package he had brought with him.
Lord Leo, may you succeed in saving Miss Alina.

Under the warm morning sun, countless tall trees exude warmth, and under the beautiful turquoise, the brown and black roots and trunks crisscross and stretch through the dense jungle. And between these dense plants, the sound of Qingyue's stream resounded slowly, like a curve between the notes, which was extremely beautiful.
Fei Wen and her party dressed up and walked on a certain path in the mountains, uniformly wearing bright blue robes.
On the left side of the noble mage, Leo, who was dressed in a blue robe, and Xiao Nuan on his shoulders chatted calmly, and Xiao Nuan's pleasant laughter from time to time often attracted everyone's attention.
"The relationship between Mr. Leo and Miss Xiao Nuan is really unusual."
Vivien seized the gap in their conversation and cleverly interjected.
"Mr. Fivien, you're such an interesting person."
Leo groaned for a moment, then spoke calmly, and he only replied politely.
As for Xiao Nuan on his shoulder, he completely regarded people other than Leo as air, because she was a high-level species like the "Dream Fairy", she was actually very indifferent to ordinary humans, but she was afraid of leaving an indifferent impression in Leo's heart, so she never showed her hatred for Fei Wen and the others.
It is a lifelong honor for this kind of humble human being, who is weak in strength and has a shabby appearance all over his body, to be close to his master, and to dare to talk to my master and let him wear such an ugly robe, it is really hateful!
Xiao Nuan thought viciously and didn't look at Fei Wen, but her purple eyes revealed an imperceptible chill.
"Haha, Mr. Leo is such a wonderful thing."
"I've heard a lot of people say about me, you're the most special one, and I'm getting more and more interested in you."
Vivien laughed, as if she didn't notice Leo's indifference, he had been trying to get closer to Leo before, but he had been closed, and this time was no exception.
But he didn't feel discouraged, but became more and more curious about Leo's identity and Xiao Nuan's existence.
She likes to meet strange people, flirtatious and confident, and very patient, and Vivien Verpin is one such person.
"I know you've always cared about my purpose, but you can only achieve it with our help, don't you?"
"If you can't let your guard down and trust us, it's hard for us to help you."
Fei Wen suddenly put away her frivolous appearance and said calmly.
"Mr. Fairyn would say such a thing, but it would affect our alliance."
Leo frowned and looked at Fei Wen.
This mage actually picked out the stakes and then told them, which really opened Leo's eyes.
Is this mage stupid, or is he planning something?
"No, no, no, I just want you to know that our cooperation will only benefit you."
Vivien regained her relaxed smile and said no more, then returned to the front of the group.
The group walked on the earthy yellow path, feeling the refreshing warm breeze in the mountains, and advanced deeper into the giant wood forest.
