"The camp is here, here's the path we've walked. The positioning signs along the way are this black poplar bridge, this yellow seven or eight meters big stone, this crooked black poplar tree, and ......" Anthony spread the map on the ground, and everyone gathered around the map.

"I guess where we are right now is roughly in this range." Anthony circled a range to the northeast on the map: "Our target is here. He pointed to a mountain, "According to the description above, the mountain is not high, about 300 meters. But it's wide, it's wide. The men who met us set up camp there, and they prepared supplies of food, water, and horse grass. He looked up at everyone, "That's our current situation, do you have any opinions?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and began to talk about it, but everyone had no experience and discussed for a long time without any results. There was even a suggestion to simply walk all the way to the edge of the forest and turn back.

Xiu looked at the map and thought for a long time, and then he leaned into Anthony's ear: "Anthony, are you sure that what the instructor gave us must be fine?" ”

"Definitely. It's not the right thing to do for us. Anthony mused, "I wish this thing wasn't right, and then we wouldn't be blamed if we didn't reach the right destination." ”

"But I suspect there might really be something wrong with this map." Xiu leaned closer, he whispered but assured.

"Why are you so sure? Xiu, do you know how severely the punishment will be for innocent suspicion of his superiors? Anthony looked at Xiu very seriously, "You must not let the instructors know that you suspect them!" ”

"Didn't you suspect Anthony?" Xiu looked at Anthony in disbelief.

"I don't doubt my sir. This is my family motto, always obey the orders of my superiors! Anthony said firmly.

Xiu looked at Anthony with a very strange look.

He held up the compass, "You should have been using the compass, right?" ”

"Well, I've been using it to adjust direction." Anthony nodded.

"Don't you think there's anything wrong?" Xiu said with some collapse.

"No, there's nothing wrong with this compass."

"The compass won't even move the direction hand, can't you see it!" Xiu Ke is really a little uncomfortable.

Doesn't Anthony look at a compass?

"Direction needle... It doesn't seem to have been touched much. But there is nothing wrong with his direction, although it will deviate a little from the sun, but the sun is not always at that angle in the sky! The sun can change, too! Anthony said.

Xiu sighed heavily.

"Anthony, you have to remember that even if adults won't lie to you, it doesn't mean that adults won't be deceived!" Xiu smiled, "This is what my father said to me. ”

"What do you mean—" Anthony was a little confused.

"The compass was given to us by Instructor Susanna, right?"

"Yes, there's no way Instructor Suzanne could lie to us."

"What if someone lied to Instructor Susanna, no, what if someone was hiding something from Instructor Susanna? For example, concealing that the compass was actually manipulated, and the map was actually wrong. ”

"Impossible! There is no room for lies among the instructors! That would be against the rules of knighthood! Anthony retorted loudly.

"No lying, just something to hide!" Xiu held up the compass and said to Anthony, "Because there's something wrong with the compass!" He wiped his finger at the bottom of the compass, and a small black piece of iron was wiped out, "This is on the compass!" ”

Anthony looked at the thing carefully for a while, but he didn't recognize it.

"What is this?"

"I don't know, but this thing can make the compass fail! You see. ”

Xiu pointed to the compass. On the compass, the red pointer floats slightly in a direction, which is roughly north; And the green pointer is like a dead fish without life, and the tip of the needle is motionless against the chassis of the compass.

This means that there is no collapse within its sensing range, so it is not working.

Xiu gently pressed the black iron under the compass, and strange things happened: there was nothing glued, the iron stuck to the bottom of the compass by itself, and Xiu's fingers were released and he didn't fall off. And the red direction hand actually began to shift towards the position of the iron block.

The direction of this compass is wrong.

"I figured this thing out under the compass. I've used this compass and naturally know what it looks like. His structure is not clear, but there is absolutely no such thing! I don't know what this thing is, but it can make the compass malfunction, and make the compass blindly follow this piece of iron like a zombie whose soul has been taken away by a demon! Xiu turned the compass over and showed Anthony the piece of iron.

"Someone wanted to make this compass malfunction, so they secretly put this thing under the compass. The compass was given to you by Instructor Susanna, and you haven't given it to anyone since then, it's always in your hands, but you can't harm us, and you can't have this piece of iron, so there's only one possibility. Xiu flipped the compass back to the front, moving the iron underneath. The direction pointer changes its pointing as the iron block moves.

It no longer has the great role of guiding the way, but has become a person who has lost his soul, and is dragged forward by the demon at will" The instructors manipulated the compass. They didn't intend to get us done from the start. ”

Anthony looked at the compass steadily.

There was something shattering in his eyes.

"Instructor...... Will it really do that? ”

"Suzanne won't, but...... Whether the other instructors will not know. ”

Anthony seemed to have lost all his strength suddenly.

"I trust the instructor so much, why would he deceive us......" He took the compass from Xiu's hand and stared at the pointer deadly.

He took off the black piece of iron, and when the pointer was gone, it was like a person who had returned to his soul, pointing slowly in one direction.

Anthony held up his compass to the sun.

This time, the direction the pointer told him was the opposite of the direction he had started, a world of difference.

They ran in the opposite direction.

Went in the wrong direction from the start and went further and further!

He slammed the iron to the ground and stomped it down with his iron boots, making a heavy crashing sound.

"And I don't think it's just the compass that has a problem, there must be a problem with the map. You know how to read a map, and no matter how big a mistake is, you can't get completely lost. They should have deliberately changed the map to mislead you. The reason why you can only see a few signs is probably because the instructors improvised to fool us..."Xiu spread his hands.

Fooling us? Just rely on a few calibrations?

Under normal circumstances, so many calibrations can fool anyone!

"No wonder I can always see a few of the signs on the map but I can't read them all, so it is, so it is..."Anthony scoffed self-deprecatingly.

Fool who, fool me!

I am a member of the Shaniyat clan, and the chief instructor is my uncle, can you not understand yourself! What you're thinking about your every move is so easy for your uncle to guess, isn't it!

Isn't all this a trap set by my uncle against me!

"If it was your uncle's request, it would not be surprising that the chiefs would do it—" Anthony said in a voice that only he could hear.
