A potholed forest path flanked by tall and dense hemlock forests. A team of knights on white horses was driving a prisoner cart overnight.

There was a muffled bang, and for some reason the sturdy prisoner cart suddenly exploded in the middle, and the knights on both sides were shocked and flew out, fell to the ground and fainted.

"Haha, Lao Tzu is unlucky today, and he will never be planted in your hands next time. The tall blonde thief leapt from the prisoner's cart, grabbed a broken iron rod in one hand, and roared angrily.

Without waiting for a few knights to react, they jumped high, and the storm hammer crashed down, the ground collapsed instantly, and the dust suddenly obscured everyone's sight.

When the dust cleared, there was still a group of bandits nearby, leaving only the broken prisoner cart lying there alone.

"Knight, do we want to chase?" said a young knight who could not suppress the suffocation in his heart.

"You stay here and take care of your injured partner, and I'll chase it alone. Carlos pulled the reins and turned the horse's head.

"Knight Chief, wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone. ”

Carlos rolled his eyes at the knight and said, "Am I still afraid of them?"

The knight was suddenly silent, not daring to say anything more. Immediately, Carlos's white horse made a graceful arc, swept past the many knights, and disappeared into the vast darkness.

Carlos quickly slowed down and walked slowly along a path at the edge of the woods. Soon, a one-man tall mound appeared in front of me.

In the hemlock forest, such mounds are not everywhere, but if you are lucky enough to see them, you must avoid them. Because there is a magical beast that inhabits the hemlock forest - the ironback bear. They like to use this hill as a place to hibernate.

Carlos obviously did not avoid the mound, but turned over and dismounted, and only took two steps forward, when he heard a voice behind the mound, "Dear knight, we have lost a lot this time. The money was not robbed, and he almost gave his life in such a barren place. ”

The blonde man, who was the leader of the bandits, quietly walked out from behind the mound, his eyes were bloodshot at this time, and the blood on the corners of his mouth had not completely dried up, it was obvious that the forcible attack when he fled just now had caused him a lot of damage.

Carlos could hear the ridicule in the other party's words, and snorted coldly: "Demeco, do you want to do it? If I hadn't thought something was wrong and brought someone over in time, you would have died in that unfortunate village a long time ago." Why, I can't even beat a little ghost who just became a summoner, and now you blame me?"

The silver spear in Carlos's hand slammed into the ground, and a terrifying chill suddenly filled the sharp tip of the spear.

Demeko staggered back, almost not sitting on the ground, his body, which was already a little weak, looked even weaker at this time.

Where did Demeco dare to be angry with the knight in front of him, not to mention that he was injured now, even if he was not injured, it would not be a problem for the other party to beat him ten. immediately changed the topic and said with a smile: "Hehe, how dare you, but Lao Tzu really can't swallow this breath." How could there still be a summoner in such a dilapidated mountain village, it is really strange. ”

Carlos was silent for a moment and said, "This matter is indeed a bit strange, I will investigate it when I go back." It's normal for you to feel uncomfortable, I can understand, I'll give you a chance, after all, for the sake of insurance, there is no need for this village to continue to exist in the future, and I won't care how you want to toss it when the time comes. ”

Carlos took out a small and delicate glass bottle, handed it to Demeco, and said, "This is a primary healing potion, you take it in three parts, it won't take long, and you will recover." ”

Demeco hurriedly took the vial, his eyes full of joy. "Thank you for your generosity, and I will definitely live up to my lord's cultivation in the future. ”

A hint of disgust flashed in Carlos's eyes, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, these are small things. Recently, you have stopped for a while, and this time I showed up, and I have to give some explanation to the above. ”

Demeco's eyes rolled, and then he smiled and walked towards the woods. After a while, he returned to his place, but there was an extra dark thing in his hand. It was a bleeding head.

Carlos only frowned, and Demeco immediately understood, pulled off the somewhat tattered clothes from his body, wrapped the skull tightly, handed it to Carlos and said, "Knight, don't worry, you will ensure that you will keep to yourself during this time." ”

Carlos hung his head on the saddle and mounted his white horse again, "When the wind passes, I will inform you in the old way, you should not be idle these days, put those bandits who still refuse to submit to the situation settled, if you can't even do this little thing, hum ......"

Carlos didn't say any more, and directly kicked the spur under his feet, like a white rainbow, and walked away.

Demeco stood where he was, looked at the white horse in the distance, let out a long breath, put away his previous flattery, and walked behind the mound. I saw a glimmer of light flash on the ground, and his whole body disappeared.

Soon, Carlos returned to the team, and several knights were relieved to see their captain come back safe and sound, although they knew that their worries were unnecessary, but who knew what these cunning bandits hiding in the shadows would do.

Carlos threw the package with the head to a knight behind him and said, "The bandit leader has been killed by me, and everyone has worked hard. When I return to the county seat, I will personally make it clear to the county keeper that I will definitely be rewarded. ”

As soon as they heard that there would be a reward, several knights immediately smiled, and the original fatigue was swept away, and they were eager to put on a pair of wings and return to the county town now.

Recently, they have been chasing the bandits, but every time they have been in vain, making them think that this gang of bandits is really cunning. This time he finally killed the bandit leader, which can be regarded as making them breathe a bad breath.

Everyone got on their horses, and because there was no prisoner cart, they moved forward a little faster, and headed towards the county seat.

At this time, in the ruins of Yake Village, which were burned to ashes by flames, a young man sat cross-legged, his right hand pointing at the center of his eyebrows, his eyes closed, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The boy was none other than Ron. In the evening, his father, Lao Luo, woke up, but he seemed to have injured his head and needed to recuperate.

The village chief and Ron's house were burned down, and these days they are staying at Marlowe's house. After settling his father, Ron told the crowd that he might be away for a few days, and that he would come back when everything he had told him to prepare was ready.

Lao Luo was not at ease at first, but the village chief's words, "Ron is a summoner, what else are you worried about." Let Lao Luo also suddenly realize that he may not be young anymore.

Ron naturally noticed the complicated expression of old Ronald who cared but was powerless, and his heart flowed warmly.

A soft moonlight sprinkled through the pile of ruins, Ron slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath, "It seems that the distance of the Eye of Gro is only fifteen kilometers at present, but it is enough, I have seen everything I should see, I should also prepare for it, and I will have to prepare a big gift for these people when the time comes." ”

He stood up, patted the dust off his body, stretched out, and then turned and walked in the direction of the back mountain.
