A tall, long wall appeared before Ivan's eyes, and Ivan knew that he had come to the border from the Afterglow Kingdom to the Holy Empire. The cross-border review is relatively strict, and Ivan has no intention of giving it a try with a fluke attitude.

The border is long, not all places are walled, and the Kingdom of Afterglow is a vassal state in the rear of the Holy Empire, so the border guard can be said to be very relaxed.

Around the switch card, there is a mountain range next to it, and many places can reach the Holy Empire, provided that you will not be eaten by demonic beasts Duan Mountain Range has the existence of intermediate demonic beasts ♀, but Ivan still plans to give it a try.

The difficulty of climbing the mountain is really not small, but fortunately, Ivan has plenty of experience in mountain adventures≠ coupled with the powerful concealment ability of shadow magic, Ivan feels that it is not a big problem for him to be careful.

......

The mountains on the border are not particularly tall, and they are not as tall as the Sunset Mountains that Ivan has visited, but since they are mountains, it is naturally not easy to climb over the past by relying on individuals.

......

Between the rugged and steep mountains, a group of people of different ages are struggling to make their way← there are men, women and children, the only thing they have in common is that they are very good in physical fitness, otherwise they would not be able to complete the action of crossing the mountains.

"Daddy, when do you think we will be able to climb this mountain? Also, is the world on the other side really so beautiful? I can eat a lot of delicious food every day and live in a big house?" asked a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who looked up to the middle-aged man beside her.

"Julie, we're almost there, just cross this mountain and we'll be at our destination, baby, bear with me, we'll have a good life when we get to the other side of the mountain." The man with the large package wiped the sweat from his head and comforted his daughter softly.

"You say it again, it's the fifth time!, but I can't even see the end of the road, Daddy, I can't walk!" the little girl begged with a sad face.

The man himself felt very tired, but Mr. Adventurer, the leader of the team, had not yet given the order to rest, he did not dare to slow down the speed of the team, and the mountains and forests were not safe places, he still knew this. But her daughter has always been well-behaved, and she won't trouble herself unless she is forced to do so.

"Mr. Heard, shall we take a break, my daughter is so tired!" the man finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Rest? How far have you come? Do you know that there are many demonic beasts in the mountains and forests, and although we charge a little higher, this is the price of our lives! I can't stand this bit of suffering, and I still want to go to the Holy Empire to enjoy happiness?

The adventurer named Hilde looked impatient, and he and his companions were adventuring in this mountain forest, and accidentally found a relatively safe path in the mountain forest← so he partnered with a few companions to start a smuggling business.

The situation of the Holy Empire is better than that of the Afterglow Kingdom, which has always been widely known in the border area, and many ←people who want to smuggle are of average strength, so he fooled some ordinary people with little money to partner up to smuggle and resell some items by the way.

"I'm sorry! I really regret taking you with this group of drags! I knew that I would have done some reselling, although I made less money, but I didn't have to worry! Forget it, everyone pay attention!" The adventurer finally agreed impatiently.

Hearing Hilde's words, the group suddenly sat on the ground, it was too tiring to climb the mountain!

Hilde also found a clean place to sit down, although the weather was in the cold season, but the group of people were all sweating.

"Hilde, why are you so angry? Ordinary people's physical strength is like this, wasn't it like this in the batches of the year before?" said a young man dressed as a mage.

"You know a fart! The longer you stop, the greater the grip∫ our strength is limited, we can only deal with sporadic monsters, once we encounter more than five, we will have a grip, and if we encounter more than ten, we will have to be wiped out!"

"What are you afraid of, just run when the time comes, it's not like we haven't done it. The young mage said terrifying words in a light-hearted tone.

"Shhh

"Just kidding, don't you think it's too quiet around? The young man said with a smile that he was not strong, so he would not be very angry with Hilde, who was the strongest of the bunch.

"Quiet, you say it's quiet?" Hilde's face was a little ugly, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.

"Isn't it good to be quiet, is this a proof of safety?" said the young man with some displeasure.

"You know what a!" Hilde was really panicking at this point, he knew that something was wrong! It was good to be quiet, but it would be terrible to be too quiet!

"Able, take a quick look around!" Hilde instructed his teammates, Able was a scout on the team and was always in charge of scouting.

"Brother Hilde, I don't think I need to investigate, because I saw a large group of scavengers coming, and I guess there are more than thirty of them□ what can I do?" Abel asked.

"What? more than forty! That's a fart! Although the scavenger beast is only the lowest level of demonic beasts, but can you hit ten?" Hilde didn't care about anything else, and whispered, "Take advantage of so many meat pads, hurry up and run!"

Then a few people didn't care about anything else, they didn't even cover it up, and ran away.

"Mr. Heard, where are you going?" the man who ran away from the incident panicked.

"Oh no! there are wolves, big packs of wolves!"

"Where's the wolf?

"Don't you see the adventurer leave us and run away?"

The crowd was directly chaotic, and before the beasts came, many people were trampled to the ground and couldn't get up.

"Dad, help me!"

"Kid dad, hurry up kid!"

"Son, I fell, you leave me alone!"

......

"Ahh

"Help!"

"I can't run away, I'm fighting for them!"

"Adventurers who have been damned! After receiving so much money from us, they will abandon us when they encounter us! I will not spare them if I am a ghost!"

However, the monsters did not pay attention to the desperation of the crowd, and they gradually completed the encirclement, and one of the few people who had been about to run away was actually driven back! This man was the magician, he was the slowest runner, and then abandoned by his companions.

Seeing that the crowd was about to die at the mouth of the beast, at this moment, a bright wall of flames rose, and the fierce flames forced the scavenger beast back.

"This is a wall of fire, but how can its range be so large? And the temperature of this flame is too high, right?" This mage is also a fire mage, he is only a second-order, but he has seen the wall of fire technique, and it is far less powerful.

"If you don't want to die, take up arms and prepare to fight! My magic won't last long, I can't stop so many things!"

A voice extinguished the initial astonishment of the crowd, and some people picked up sticks, some picked up stones, and some took out kitchen knives and sickles.

The person who came was Ivan, who unfortunately got lost in the mountains and forests, and stumbled upon the traces left by the crowd, so he chased them all the way.

"Fireball Seven Beads!" The wall of fire can only last for a short time, and the range is too large to have the ability to attack the herd≮ is the most convenient fireball technique he began to use.

"Whoosh!" The fireballs hit the target one after another, although it was a first-order spell, but Ivan, who had already completed the promotion, was still unsinkable to kill the lowest-end scavenging beast.

The adventurer gritted his teeth and began to cast spells to attack, but his strength is really difficult to compliment, the fireball technique can only be injured, and the accuracy is too poor!

The death of seven or eight scavenging beasts only aroused the ferocity of the beasts, and after the wall of flames disappeared, the beasts launched an attack, and the group finally suffered casualties, Ivan couldn't deal with too many targets, he could only destroy the monsters as soon as possible.

The battle came and went as fast as it came, and within five minutes, nearly half of the beasts were killed by Ivan, and then the scavengers fled, leaving behind twenty corpses and seven or eight people who had been bitten to death.

"Woooooooooo

Looking at the dead people, Ivan also sighed a little, the lives of ordinary people are indeed too fragile, and a large number of people will die in an accident≈ Ivan finally realized the difference between magicians and ordinary people.

As a low-level demonic beast, the scavenger beast is only physically stronger than ordinary beasts, and its teeth have some magic toxins, which are no more violent than snake venom. To deal with this thing, Ivan only needs a fireball in less than two seconds, and it is difficult for ordinary people to fight back unless they train.

"Thank you heroes for saving lives. Finally, someone came to thank Ivan, but Ivan hurriedly said politely: "I'm sorry, I couldn't save everyone, I'm sorry." ”

To be honest, Ivan was a little ashamed in his heart, if he was willing to use the arcane missile on the staff, it would be another ending, and the scavenger would probably be directly scared away. But this thing is the hole card that Ivan spent all his money on, and he subconsciously does not want to use it.

"In any case, you are our savior, but this place is too graspable, leading our adventurers to run away by themselves, and now it is up to a good person who has been blocked back to → to the end, come with us, although we don't have much wealth left, but we must give it all to you!"

Ivan was a little strange when he heard this, how could these ordinary people come here? This is the depths of the mountains and forests, it is certain that they will encounter magical beasts, even if there are adventurers, it is too much, and low-level adventurers are not as safe as that strength fortress.

"What's the matter with you, why did you come back to such a place?"

Ivan's question made everyone a little embarrassed, they looked at each other, and finally someone said: "It's not a secret, we were smuggled by these adventurers, they found a path that said it was safe, the wealth of the Holy Empire is famous for our place, everyone wants to go there to make a good living" I didn't expect this to happen. ”

"Xiaolu?" Ivan was so happy that he almost jumped up with joy, but he still held back, "I was looking for medicinal herbs here, and I heard your cries for help, there is no problem with you wanting a better life, but you think about the mountains and forests too simply! There are so many people, I can't bear to send you to death, just let me be a good person to the end, give you a ride." But I don't know the road, do you know how to get there?"

"And this guy, he should know that way. A strong man came with a young man carrying him like a chicken.

"Who is he?"

"He's one of those damn adventurers, no! they don't deserve to be compared to you, he's one of those crooks!"

"Oh, man, it seems that your situation is not good! you said that if you would not lead the way, how would these people clean you up?" said Ivan, quipped.

"Big brother, no, uncle, please spare my little life! I'm just an accomplice, not the mastermind! I'm guilty, but I don't deserve to die! I will do my best to lead everyone to their destination, please spare me!"

Being on someone's knees is not a high experience, because there is just a scumbag below, but he is indeed useful, and there is no need to kill him.

"Let's keep him, after all, I still expect him to lead the way, and I will always follow you. ”

"Great! Benefactor, you are really of noble character, compared to you, this guy is a piece of shit! ”

"Thank you, uncle, for sparing your life! Thank you, uncle, for sparing your life!" the mage knocked again.

Ivan is really annoyed to see him like this, this group of people still have a deep grudge against him, this is not good, and something will go wrong if you endure it.

"Well, this guy will be handed over to you to take care of, pay attention to take good care, don't die, otherwise everyone won't be able to get out. Ivan bit the word "good" very hard, for fear that others would not hear it.

After saying this, Ivan went to the side to look at the wounded, and then a group of people looked at each other, ♀ a hateful fellow, who still has to take good care of it?

Looking at a group of confused people, the mage was secretly happy in his heart, these stupid forks didn't understand the meaning of the words! No, no, no, fortunately they didn't understand.

"What are you doing in a daze, don't take good care of Uncle Ben!" said the mage arrogantly.

"Dad, why does the benefactor want us to take good care of this bad man?

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and the benefactor seemed to mean something else. Looking at the people whose faces were gradually becoming hideous, the mage scolded the little girl who was talking nonsense ten thousand times in his heart.

"What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, of course it's good, take good care of you, rest assured, you won't die. ”

"Don't!ahh!!h

......

In three days, Ivan finally walked down the foothills and saw the village, which also means that he has come to the Holy Empire and started a new journey!
