On the seventh day of the New Year's festival, for a few days, there was no continued snow in the Tallon region of the Northland, and from dawn to dusk, the sky always remained a spotless blue, and the white clouds drifted slowly like flocculents.

In the mountains and forests of the Nogo Mountains, the snow has faded in most places, and the dust on the trunks and branches of the trees has been washed away by the melting snow, revealing a refreshing scenery.

The cold air in the sun also seems to have a faint aroma.

Dressed in half-worn studded leather armor and a black cloak, with a frosty sword slung around his waist, Gross rode on a tall and legged Westside horse, and Miss Mage rode another horse, following him unhurriedly all the way—

After riding these days, the girl's proficiency in driving the horse has improved day by day, and compared with the few skilled hands of the wolf bandits, she has not been much more reckless.

"Radia."

Gross took the reins of his horse, slowed down, and shouted back—the girl glanced up, but did not speak.

"Need water?"

He continued to express concern, and though he felt a little remorse for what had happened, he had never been in the habit of softening his mouth - well, it could be understood as a standard machismo.

Therefore, he now expresses his apologies with practical concern.

After another inquiry, Miss Mage finally responded, waved her hand slightly, and then pulled the kettle out of her backpack—

Gross smiled and did not speak, until the girl's horse caught up, and he adjusted the pace of the horse under him, and the two kept close to each other.

From time to time, Gross turned his head to watch.

After a long time, the girl seemed to suddenly say something.

The voice was not loud, but it was clearly audible in Gross's ears, "Mr. Gross, according to the map, we seem to be going in the wrong direction. ”

"How so?"

Gross smiled, paused, and added, "There's not just one way to White Pigeon, and we're going to pass through the small town of Faun. ”

"The town of Faun?"

"Yes, you can take a closer look at the map. This time, we had to go there first and buy some items. ”

Gross said.

The town of Faun also belongs to the Tallon region of Nogo, and unlike Lorenz Town, which is almost equivalent to a satellite city of Taron Fortress, it is a relatively independent small town -

It is located east of the Nogo Mountains, north of the Kingfisher Forest, and nearly sixty kilometers away from the Ampton Mine and the town of Lorenz.

And the extra distance, even if riding, is enough to spend half a day's effort.

Of course, Gross has his own purpose -

In the game, the town of Faun is the gateway from Anjou to Tarune, and the city of Anjou, among the many districts of Northland Nogo, is known for its excellent mercenaries. The frequent comings and goings of mercenaries have spawned quite a lot of related industries, and although the business of this town is not developed, the purchase of weapons and equipment is extremely easy to obtain.

Gross needed a suit of armor, and since his last trip to the Cerris region, his tabula rasa armor had been scrapped, and considering the battles he might face next, a good piece of equipment was indispensable—

What's more, at his current level, he should also change his clothes.

He didn't hide his thoughts, and after hearing what he said, the girl nodded quietly.

Riding in the mountains and forests was a boring journey, but because of the company of Miss Mage, Gross felt that this time passed quickly, and with his well-intentioned currying, the relationship between the two seemed to return to its former normal state.

……

Little by little, the sky became brighter, the warm winter afternoon sun filled the air, and time flew quietly, and Gross and Radia, the two of them talked all the way, and by the time they paid attention, the scenery of the Nogo Mountains had fallen far behind.

In front of me is a smooth trade road, and the figures of pedestrians can be seen everywhere -

The mercenaries, the merchants in the carriages, and the travelers carrying their parcels along the way, Miss Mage's beautiful appearance attracted a lot of attention, and when these eyes shifted to Gross on the side, the admiration turned into a thick jealousy.

Gross couldn't help but feel a little smug.

The so-called male talent and female appearance are probably like this. For the hostility of these gazes, he behaved very calmly, and could even be said to enjoy it.

"Hey, Choko, what are you looking at?"

The dwarf Tob was on horseback, and he saw his fellow wild mage turn his head, and as the horse went, he was eager to twist his whole head from his chest to his back, and his eyes looked into the distance—

Miss Ladya Klein in a red slim-fit hunting suit.

"Tob, do you believe in love at first sight?"

"Love at first sight? Hell, you're not referring to the warblers in the tavern who can get on for money, are you? The fat powder on their faces is thick enough to ...... their faces."

"No, no, I met a girl whose heart was beating wildly. I believe that this was an encounter arranged by the goddess of fate, Elubea. ”

Choco said with a sigh as he turned the horses around him—

Four days earlier, they had rushed from the small town of Lorenz to the Ampton mines in the Nogo Mountains, and they had been blown away by his mistake. The bandits disappeared without a trace, and the dwarf Tobu and the wild mage Choco, who had lost their clues, finally chose to give up after several fruitless searches.

They returned to the town of Faun, and after a few days of rest, they were lucky enough to receive a lucrative hire assignment at noon today, and they were leaving the town for the mission's destination.

Just after passing by by by mistake, Choco saw Miss Lady, Ladia, and the instinctive impulse that belonged to the body began to faintly haunt again-

He has a delicate face and a gentle temperament, and in the past years, he has had a beautiful dewy marriage with those young and beautiful girls.

"Hey, you're such a stallion."

Mr. Dwarf and Chocó had known each other for many years, and he muttered mockery. With Chocco's figure, he also found the girl-

Beside the girl who was riding was a tall young man.

He didn't chase after him, but stopped his horse and watched the scene from afar.

The town of Faun is already at hand.

Groups of mercenaries could be seen everywhere in the streets, and there were many carriages moving slowly or parked on the side of the road, and Gross and Miss Mage Ladia pulled the reins, gradually reducing the speed of the horses—

But at this moment, an extremely gentle and polite voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
