In the snowfield at night, in a cave that is not very large, the three Sherlocks are playing with great interest the latest map of Mage Chess, 'Three Kingdoms'.

Under the warmth of the firelight, the two who had been in a coma finally slowly woke up.

"Thank you all for saving your life." One of the adults spoke.

"Do it." Sherlock said, "Are you villagers in the neighborhood?" ”

The little boy nodded and said, "I followed my father out to hunt, but I didn't expect to get lost halfway, and I met a group of snow leopards, it was this uncle who saved me, and you, thank you, big brothers and sisters." “

"My name is Homid, and I'm just a passing traveler, and I just happened to meet this little boy being chased by a snow leopard, so naturally I can't turn a blind eye." Homid spoke.

"Is Mr. Homid a mage?" Sherlock asked.

"Reluctantly, sort of." Homid looked over in surprise and didn't deny it.

"You're a Verim Oni?" Sherlock continued to probe tentatively.

Verim Oni is also known as the Wizard, a native name for Lesserman.

Hearing this question, Chihiro Nakamura, Montenegro and Homid were all stunned for a moment.

Wizards are not often seen in Lesserman, let alone those who walk alone.

Homid smiled bitterly, and finally said, "It seems that you have already seen it." ”

"Lesserman's male spellcasters are rare." Sherlock had already seen the attributes of the two with the Truth Vision, and it was not difficult to guess: "So that team of wolf cavalry is also here to chase you?" ”

"I actually dispatched wolf cavalry, it seems that I am quite valuable." Hormid laughed to himself.

"Of course it's worth it, the magical knowledge that the Witch League has accumulated over the years naturally can't fall into the hands of others." Chihiro Nakamura also realized the seriousness of the problem at this time, and this Homid was likely to be a defector Verim Oni.

"Is magical knowledge really that precious, then we need to exchange it with a lifetime of freedom."

Homid had already recognized Chihiro Nakamura's identity, and said with a sad face: "And the witch, from beginning to end, no one has ever asked me if I would like to make this exchange." ”

"I don't know." Chihiro Nakamura didn't want to think about it: "But since I've met, I'm sure I can't let you get out of Lesserman." ”

"Kill me?"

"No, I'll send you to the Ice Castle, and I'll intercede with the teacher as long as you're willing to keep working."

"That's better than ......," Homid didn't continue.

He still wants to live more than freedom, after all, only by living can he enjoy freedom.

For a while, all three of them, including Montenegro, stopped talking.

Sherlock sighed, and could only put away the mage chess.

Even the more enlightened Chihiro Nakamura has a hard time breaking the rules of the Witch League when it comes to dealing with male witches.

If she lets go of Homid today, once the Witch Alliance knows, she will lose her status as the successor of the Supreme Witch, or she may be directly deprived of her power as a witch.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, as soon as the snow stopped, it was decided to send the boy to the village first, and then to send Homid back to the Ice Castle.

It's just that halfway through, they met the same group of wolf cavalry yesterday again.

"Didn't you say you hadn't seen this person yesterday?" Po Tian stopped in front of everyone and asked sharply.

"I saw it again after that, no." Sherlock didn't like the tone of the man, and if he hadn't known that the other party was from the Witch League, he wouldn't have been a fan of him.

Seeing that the two sides looked tense as soon as they met, Chihiro Nakamura hurriedly walked out with a black iron mask.

Seeing the witch, Po Tian and the others put away their arrogance a little, and got off the wolf and stepped forward and said, "It turns out that Your Excellency the witch, I don't know what to call it?" ”

Not as respectful as NPCs, but polite, after all, they are players, and they can't casually sell their dignity for a game.

"Chihiro Nakamura!"

"It turned out to be Your Excellency Chihiro, and we were ordered by His Excellency Hiro to hunt down this defected Verimoni."

"We happened to meet last night, and since it's your mission, then he'll leave it to you." Chihiro Nakamura is trying to throw away this hot potato.

"Thank you, Your Excellency."

After breaking the sky, he suddenly pulled out his long knife and slashed at Homid.

Shielding!

Nakamura Chihiro threw out an instantaneous spell, stopped the long knife, and then pulled Homida back: "What are you doing?" “

"Carry out Lord Hiro's orders and kill anyone who threatens the Witch Alliance." Said confidently.

"But he's just a defector, and his sin won't lead to death." Chihiro Nakamura argues for it.

"I don't have the power to convict, I'm simply carrying out His Excellency Hiro's orders."

Nakamura Chihiro didn't want to care about this kind of thing, but she handed over the person, and she must be responsible for dying in the end, so she could only insist on saving the person first: "Now I want to personally bring the person back to the ice castle, do you want to stop me?" ”

The hand holding the knife in the sky wanted to be raised several times, but it was finally sent down: "Don't dare, then I'll escort you back." ”

Chihiro Nakamura nodded and did not refuse again.

And Sherlock, naturally, will not refuse.

Although Chihiro is quite good, he was always sent by the Supreme Witch to spy on him, and it would be better to let him act alone.

"Anyway, Lesserman can walk around casually except for the Ice Castle and the Forest of the Forest, if you have any questions, you can just ask Montenegro, and I will come to you after I deal with this matter." Chihiro Nakamura explained, and left with the sky-breaking wolf cavalry squad.

Sherlock and Montenegro were left, and the two of them sent the boy to the village before heading for Tirulag again.

"Black Mountain, where is the Forest of the Hidden Forest, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Well, the Forest of the Hidden Forest is at the northernmost end of the Sunrise Mountains, and it is also a gathering place for witches, and you strangers are not allowed to enter it." Montenegro explained honestly.

"Is there anything special in there?"

"I don't know."

Sherlock thought that the Spindle of Doom must be hidden in the Ice Castle, but now that this forest is so mysterious, it is not impossible to hide there.

The Ice Castle is dominated by the Supreme Witch, and you won't find a chance to enter it for a while;

This forest must be a forest, and if he wants to enter it as a druid, can anyone stop him?

"Sherlock, you don't want to go to the Forest." Montenegro worried.

"How is that possible?" Sherlock smiled and didn't ask any more.
