In the Canyon of Miracles, Black Mona Green is dispatching an army of monsters under his command, planning to go to the human mine to bring back a batch of ore.

Since this operation required crossing the river to steal ore, the operation was mainly composed of Wyvern troops. Green plans to take twenty Mona and Wyverns to the Sandhammer mines and remove the ore from the mines overnight. For this plan, before the night of magic, Black Mona had already led the Wyvern army over the Annarinar Crater and arrived on the banks of the Tara River, waiting for the magic tide to cross the river and rob it.

In the border camp, No. 613 magic node, the Wyvern troops and the chocobo transport team have all been gathered, and at the same time, Mona has let go of the control of the border and let the ordinary monsters move.

Green's subordinates are roughly divided into three classes: first, cannon fodder monsters that cannot be commanded and can only be driven away; 2. Soldier monsters that can obey orders; 3. The Commander's Group composed of Mona.

Monsters are like a bunch of phantoms, they can only move around the lair, and if they leave the lair, they will disappear quickly, but today is the night of the demon, and the active magic in the air makes the monsters not disappear immediately even if they leave the lair. So when the red moon rose, the magic in the air began to become active, and the monsters that suddenly became grumpy left the nest one after another and began to move around—the demon tide is coming!

When the wild monsters began to move, under the leadership of Black Mona Green, twenty wyverns flew out of the forest and flew towards their destination.

Due to the Tide, on this night, the Northlanders would choose to hide in cellars or fortifications to dodge/fend off the Tide until after dawn. And this is the perfect time for Grimm to commit the theft - no one would have thought that the monsters would steal ore!

After completing the ore theft, Green asked the Wyvern Team to send the equipment and ore they brought back to the base, while Green's consciousness returned to his body.

……

The village of Chablis, the underground sanctuary of the tavern.

Green opened his eyes.

In the dark cellar, there is only an oil lamp the size of a soybean. Thousand Shadows knelt beside Grimm in a cloak, like a statue.

Green sat up from his sleeping bag and stretched: "Hmm~ I slept so comfortably." ”

Although he manipulated Black Mona to run out to steal ore at night, his body and brain were well rested, so after returning to his body, Green's spirit was still very strong.

"Everyone is fighting desperately, but it's good for you to sleep like a dead pig here." In the corner of the room, a dwarven boy sat there, looking at Green with an unhappy expression.

"Aren't you here too?"

"That's because Daddy doesn't agree." The dwarven boy looked unhappy, "I can fight too." ”

Green shrugged his shoulders and put his sleeping bag away, "Let's go, let's get out." It's already dawn. ”

The dwarf boy raised his eyebrows: "How do you know?" ”

"Of course I do." Green rolled up his sleeping bag, tucked it under his armpit, and headed for the stairs.

Climbing the stairs, Green pushed open the stone door overhead and climbed out of the basement.

It's dawn.

The bright sunlight shook Green's eyes. There is a monster lair sealed by the Order Flame in the castle, and that thing has a strong attraction to monsters, so the tavern did not receive much attention from the monsters, and the Green and his party hiding in the basement were not discovered by the monsters.

Shortly after Grimm left the lair, the gates of the castle outside the village slowly opened, and the villagers who had gone to the castle to assist in the defense came out of the castle.

The villagers returned to their homes and calmly went about their daily work—most of them were used to the monthly monster attack.

While Green was waiting for the dwarven boss's breakfast, a middle-aged man who looked like a butler approached Green.

"Hello, are you Viscount Green of Miracle Canyon?"

"It's not!" Green categorically denied it.

The middle-aged butler was silent for two seconds, and then spoke again: "My lord baron would like to be able to have breakfast with you. ”

"Tsk! ~" Green pursed his lips, "Did that girl Xia Lili say something in front of the lord?" ”

"Please don't blame Miss Xia Lili. Miss Xia Lili just hopes that everyone in this land can live a better life. ”

"I'm Grimm, but I'm not a viscount. She's mistaken, don't believe her nonsense. ”

In the face of Green's repeated refusals, the butler hesitated for a moment: "...... I see, I'll tell the Baron when I get back. ”

After the butler left, the tavern owner, who was watching the excitement on the side, couldn't help but speak: "I didn't expect you to be the rumored Viscount of Dragon Slayer." ”

"I said, they got it wrong. I'm just an ordinary businessman. ”

The tavern owner smiled, "Ordinary merchants don't refuse a lord's invitation. ”

Green shrugged: "Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway." ”

"Why don't you want to admit it?" The tavern owner asked curiously.

Nonsense! If I admit it, many people will come to me to inquire about the Valley of Miracles, and maybe even alarm the king, how can I refuse when the time comes? If you're unlucky, it's not surprising that you're forcibly drafted to reclaim lost territory. Green doesn't have time to waste time on these meaningless things.

Troublesome Green didn't answer the tavernkeeper's question: "Don't talk about those who don't. How long will I have to wait for breakfast? ”

"It's coming. Right away. ”

After sending away the lord's invitation, Green had breakfast at the tavern. After buying some of the village's specialties from the village grocery store lady and a wagon bug that pulls a cart, Sokumon, he drove out of Chablis Village in his carriage.

To the village, Green was just a passerby.

The carriage bug, which looks like a large silkworm baby, pulls the carriage and runs along the path, and its vigorous green body looks full of strength.

After running some distance, Green threw the whip to Chikage.

"Chikage, you're here to catch the car. I'll go in and lie down for a while. ”

"Yes, master."

The Carriage Bug Sokumon is a very gentle and large insect that is very easy to drive, and even a rookie can quickly master the driving skills. After abandoning the job of driving to Chikage, Green climbed into the carriage and lay down, covering himself with a blanket.

Closing his eyes, Green's consciousness began to deposit, trying to feel the position of his heart.

After a few breaths, Green fell into a deep sleep as Black Mona in Miracle Canyon opened her eyes.

Grimm was greeted by a group of Mona with their ears pinched on a tree branch and several men who looked like mercenaries. At the same time, Black Mona Green discovers that her long ears are also caught in a branch, looking like a doll hanging on a drying rack.

"Mona?"
