The scorching heat of midsummer gradually dissipated, and the chill and gloom characteristic of late autumn began to fill the Ragram.

Such weather, for ordinary people, may mean the harvest of crops, means the need to add clothes to prevent illness, are all small things. However, for the cultivation of martial artists, autumn and winter are the real great times.

Spring is the time when everything is recovering, but human beings are most likely to be sleepy and lack of energy at this time, and the scorching heat in the middle of summer is too unbearable, which will inevitably affect the practice of martial arts. Autumn and winter are different, autumn is the time of coolness, the climate is pleasant, just suitable for the training of martial arts and combat skills, do not worry about fatigue and do not worry about the heat; The bitterness and cold of winter are a test of the will and quality of martial artists, and there are not a few practitioners who choose to travel to various places to improve their martial arts skills in winter.

When Helliga walked out of Regram's dojo, the sun was almost below the horizon.

A refreshing autumn breeze drifted from the other side of the lake, as if blowing away the worries and fatigue of the day. The light breeze gently blew the surface of the lake, and the ripples shone with the glow of Yin Hong, shining brightly; The breeze gently shook the branches, and the rustling sound seemed to be like the low song of an elf.

“…… I can't get tired of seeing this scenery no matter how many times I see it......" Slightly stunned, Heiliga, who found that he was unconsciously addicted to the sunset over the lake, shook his head, smiled slightly, and began to walk towards the Viscount's Mansion.

After taking two steps, I stopped again and looked at the beautiful scenery of the lake.

"It seems like it's still early, why don't you go for a walk by the lake today?" Talking to herself, Heliga decided to go for a walk around the lake - since she was so attracted by the view, she would just take in the scenery before the sun went down completely.

Now that it's decided, let's do it—Thinking so, Heiliga walked briskly to the bar of the tavern "Cherry", and after a little greeting to the owner Viva, he grabbed the chilled juice and walked to the lake.

After walking for about five minutes, bypassing the stone statues of the Virgin and the Guard, you will reach the pier of Regram. Heading east along the pier, there is a forest, and from Lake Abel to the north, you can reach the main gathering point of the Confederate forces in Krutchen, the fortress of Orox. There are a large number of dangerous beasts and monsters in the depths of this forest, but in this area by the lake, due to the suppression of extraordinary powerhouses like Lord Viscount, as well as the Raygram Guerrilla Association's purging from time to time, there are basically no monsters and beasts, and all you need to worry about are some poisonous snakes and mosquitoes that are not very poisonous. These poisonous snakes are no more than cobras that can kill people quickly with a single bite, at most they will only make people's skin swollen and itchy for a while, and the same is true for mosquitoes. Of course, there are occasional cases where the skin dies or even the entire arm or leg is necrosis due to poor treatment, so it is important to bring enough insect repellent and antidote to be prepared. In fact, it is not uncommon for travelers to find a place in the forest to set up a tent and spend a few days fishing, mushroom picking, and enjoying the fun of nature.

That is to say, His Excellency the Viscount doesn't care much about these things, otherwise if he changes to the old slippery head of the Imperial Capital Chamber of Commerce, maybe he will develop this place into a tourist area, right? Hyliga drank juice and walked into the forest and stopped by a tall cedar tree. According to preliminary estimates, the height of this tree is about fifty sub-distances, making it the best in this forest. Especially in the forest with the theme of 8-15 meters tall trees, it looks like it stands out from the crowd no matter how you look at it. And this tree has thick branches as a foothold, and spending the night on it is actually a good choice?

Forget it, if you spend the night in such a place, what if you catch a cold? Let's take a look at the lake and go back after reading it. Thinking about it, Heiliga finished his last sip of juice and jumped onto the trunk of the tree, and it didn't take long for him to find a very comfortable place. Heliga lay on a branch, intending to spend the remaining half hour here.

Admiring the beautiful view, Helliga began to think of something else. In the past few months in Regram, I have lived a very full and comfortable life. Although those strange eyes have never completely disappeared, whether it is His Excellency the Viscount, Steward Claus and Laura, they are all very kind and kind people. I wake up very early every day, first with the people in the dojo for morning exercises, and then for Master Krauss's special training time. From time to time, they would train with Laura, and the two would compete with each other - although they had never won, their best record was two draws——, and in the afternoon, they either practiced because of the fighting spirit, or went to Sunday school, or went on a lake tour with Laura......

Such a life is naturally beautiful and enviable...... But what is this feeling of unreality......

Heliga closed his eyes and thought, could this have anything to do with my "dreams"?

Thinking of those strange dreams of her in the past few days, Heiliga's doubts became heavier and heavier. And he vaguely felt that the frequency of these dreams and the clarity of his memory after waking up seemed to be directly proportional to the growth of his strength.

…… While he was thinking about all this nonsense, Heliga suddenly heard a faint ...... from some place near the lake Noise?

Stopping his thoughts, Heliga paid a little attention to the other side - is it a traveler? Or a naughty kid who comes to the forest to play? It's unlikely that it could be a big beast, right?

"Is this it? Kuloai? ”

"I guess that's right...... Hey, Cindy, slow down, you've stepped on my shoes! ”

"It was Selia who tripped me......"

The sound of girls frolicking could be faintly heard. This voice is familiar to Heliga.

"These guys......" Helliga couldn't help but want to cover her face, aren't these the three girls in town who especially adore Laura?

Heliga remembers that once after she and Laura finished their training with Klaus Butler, they thought about going to Cherry together to drink some fresh juice to relieve their fatigue. However, as soon as she walked into the store with Laura, Heliga felt a hostile look in her eyes - more existential than the malicious gaze on the field, but the viciousness of this pretentious gesture was so obvious that it made people feel that there was no real malice at all.

"Sister Laura......" A girl dressed in red ran up to Laura and asked her this and that. For a while, Laura was also a little confused, so she had to ask, "Selia, what's wrong?" ”

"Sister, ......" A girl named Selia hugged Laura, and Laura, who didn't know what to do, had to touch Selia's head and whispered comfort. Heliga vaguely saw that the moment the girl hugged Laura, a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth?

"......" Feeling speechless, Heiliga felt as if she understood what was going on, and the girl felt that she had taken herself as a ...... Rival? Heiliga couldn't cry or laugh, although she liked Laura very much, but she liked her friends and "comrades-in-arms" who made progress together in martial arts, not in love. Scratching his head, he decided to ignore the scene.

After that, when he and Laura were together, the petite girl named Kuloai and the girl named Cindy appeared and did similar things. After that, Heliga remembered these people, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not take the initiative to talk to them.

"What are they doing in the forest at this time?" Heiliga thought to himself.

“…… There's no one here...... Isn't it really in Lohengrin? ”

"What can I do about this...... The Viscount is not here, should you go and ask Mr. Klaus? ”

"It seems that this is the only way to go...... Those abominable imps......"

"Huh? Why does it sound weird? Did something bad happen? I always feel a little concerned. Heliga looked at the sunset, which was almost completely sinking into the horizon, and listened to the conversation between the girl under the trees and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, and decided to come down and ask for clarification. Sounds like someone has accidentally broken into the ancient city of Lohengrin on the other side of the lake?

With that in mind, Heliga flicked to her feet and grabbed the thickest branch beside her......
