Of course, that was the time to come, and it was still the year of flowers and thorns, and the first Dark Arts War had just begun.

At this time, Ron and Avrilan slowly walked through the woods, walking in the direction of Neverwinter.

Winterfall is the closest medium-sized city to the town of Orlando, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and is bordered by the Kuroki River, the largest river in the Principality of Varian, which takes about two days to walk from the town of Orlando.

Ron and the others had no spare food, and were looking for something to eat in the forest, and when they returned to the original cave entrance, they suddenly felt a shock in their hearts, and found that the jackals were still surrounding the entrance of the cave and did not leave, and were vigorously picking at the gravel inside.

Ron and Averlan's expressions changed slightly, and they hurriedly grabbed the hidden bushes next to them and looked ahead.

I saw that with the efforts of the three jackals, a passage had been dug out of the entrance, and a large number of stones had been transported out, and I am afraid that it would not be long before the entrance would be dug out by them.

With a solemn expression, Avrilla looked back at Ron and was about to speak, but Ron waved her hand to signal her to be silent.

In addition to the three gnolls who were digging a cave, Ron also found that there were several gnolls gathered not far from the forest to chat and keep watch.

One of them was dressed in bone ornaments, much taller than ordinary gnolls, holding a spear in his hand, and his eyes were vicious, and he should be the leader of this group of gnolls.

At this time, the gnoll was chattering and didn't know what it was talking about, and the other four gnolls frequently gave it a respectful look.

Ron and the others squinted for a moment, and were about to withdraw from behind, when a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd of jackals, causing them to stop quickly.

I saw that the four gnolls turned around at the same time and looked towards the woods behind, and the leader of the gnoll also clenched the spear in his hand and looked ahead vigilantly.

Deep in the forest, a series of shredded footsteps could be heard.

The two of them hurriedly looked to the right, only to see that several human figures slowly appeared in the forest.

Ron and Avrilla were taken aback almost at the same time.

I saw that there were seven or eight of these human beings, all of them were covered with masks, and they couldn't see clearly, some were wearing armor, holding long swords, some were holding short bows, their faces were full of vigilance, and the leading one was a man wearing a black robe and holding an ancient book in his hand, looking like a warlock.

"Didn't find them?"

"They're inside!"

"That little girl......"

"Lord Falcao is furious, he can't let them escape, or he ......"

The humans appeared not far away and immediately scattered around and conversed with the gnoll leader, they spoke in the lingua franca, so that Ron and Avrilla could both understand, but they were too far away to hear very clearly.

What shocked Avrilla the most was that there was a human colluding with the gnolls, and she almost subconsciously grabbed Ron's arm, and a trace of panic appeared in her eyes. Ron wasn't surprised, patted the back of her hand to reassure her, frowning and thinking.

These humans are of extraordinary origin, two warlocks, two rangers, two warriors and two thieves among the eight people, holding weapons in their hands, shining silver, and each of them looks like they are not weak in terms of momentum.

Especially the middle-aged man who took the lead, who had reached at least two levels or more.

Gnolls are very vicious creatures and rarely cooperate with humans, preferring to hunt humans and goblins as slaves.

When the gnolls are hungry and have not found their prey, they often feed on slaves and allies, so few humans are willing to deal with them.

However, the Gnoll society has always respected strength, and if you use your strength to conquer them, it is possible to conquer this group of gnolls.

The humans and the gnolls didn't know what they were talking about, and the words "quick", "quick", and "catch alive" frequently popped out of Ron's ears. After waiting for a while, a few humans finished talking to the gnolls, walked over to look at the entrance to the cave, and frowned.

At this time, a patrolling thief next to him walked out of the forest, quickly whispered a word in the ear of the leading middle-aged man, the leading middle-aged man glanced at him, then turned his head and waved his hand, leading the team out of front of the cave, and soon disappeared into the vast dense forest.

Silence returned to all around.

The gnoll leader raised his head and roared at the sky, and a commotion quickly erupted in the forest, and three gnolls jumped out of the jungle and landed in front of it. Under the command of the leader of the gnolls, the three gnolls pounced on the entrance of the cave at the same time and quickly began to dig.

A cold glint flashed in Ron's eyes, he thought about it, turned around and patted Avrilan on the shoulder and said, "Let's go!" ”

He dragged Avrilan out of the woods and climbed back up the cliff.

Not far from the cliff, there is a hiding place, which is very secretive, and if there is no one to lead it, it will definitely not be possible to find this place.

The two quickly crawled back to their hiding place and looked at each other, their faces rather pale. Ron took out a wheat cake from his pocket, took a bite, and said calmly, "You wait here for a while, I'll go down and have a look, don't leave here!" ”

Avrilan was stunned: "Ron, where are you going?" ”

Ron didn't answer, seeing a bottle of water in her backpack, he took a sip before saying, "I'm going to figure out what's going on, and we've found something interesting, and if I'm right, it should be fun!" ”

"Are these people?" Avrilan looked at him and bit her lip, her eyes flickering, "They destroyed the town of Orlando?" Which two wizards are they with? ”

She guessed what Ron was trying to do, the two wizards who destroyed the town of Orlando were extraordinary, these people were probably sneaky people who were in collusion with them and didn't know what to do, and if they had the chance, they would definitely want to investigate.

Although Avrilan is usually simple and cute, she has experienced so many things and her mind has already matured.

"I don't know yet, but I'm going to find out!" Ron's expression was calm: "You stay here first and don't wander around, otherwise I'm afraid I won't find you when I come back!" ”

Avrilan bit her lip: "I'll go with you, and I'll find them too!" ”

Ron shook his head and said, "Avillan, you know, I just said that I will never save you!" ”

"Huh?" Avrilla was stunned.

"Because I won't allow this to happen again!" Ron said categorically, "If necessary, I will kill all these gnolls, and the next time they encounter such a situation, they will not have such good luck to escape from me." I'm talking seriously! ”

"These gnolls still have a chance to push me into a corner, they may think they are fast, they are vicious, but soon they will realize what kind of existence they are provoking, although I am still too weak to face so many gnolls at the same time, but if necessary, they will all die!"

"Do you understand?"

Ron looked at her very seriously.

Avrilan was shocked, and Ron rarely spoke to her in such a tone.

In fact, she had the impression that Ron was relatively reticent, rarely interacting with other people when he was in Orlando Town, and even when he was together, he was more alone about his own business, and rarely spoke so seriously.

"Hehe, you probably won't believe it!" Ron turned his head and smiled self-deprecatingly: "But no matter what, you can hide here, they can't find here, I'll be back in about an hour, and then we'll leave here, let's go to Neverwinter, we'll go to a crowded place!" ”

Avrilan was silent for a moment, and was about to speak.

Ron took the lead in waving his hand and smiled: "Don't tell me no, this is something I don't want to hear, you are a priest, fighting in the forest is not your forte!" ”

Avrilan looked at him and bit her lip in confusion, and after a long while, she nodded: "That...... Then be careful, I'll be waiting for you here for an hour! If you don't come back...... If you don't come back, I'll look for you! ”

She still felt worried in her heart, these gnolls were extremely vicious, often eating and biting people, it was better not to provoke them if they could not provoke them, not to mention that there were still humans colluding with them.

Although she also wants revenge, she wants Ron not to take risks.

However, after hearing these words, she suddenly felt that Ron's determination was very resolute, after all, little Ron had already begun to grow up!

Avrilan sighed quietly in her heart.

"That's it!" Ron laughed, took out some unnecessary clutter and put it on the ground, and said with a smile: "Help me take care of it, I'll come back to get it later!" ”

Avrilan nodded, pursed her lips and didn't speak, still worried.

"Don't worry, I'll sneak, I'm good!" Ron smiled at her, then staggered, disappearing in front of her.

Avrilan watched his figure quickly merge with his surroundings, a trace of anxiety appeared in her eyes, she took a few steps forward and picked up the items on the ground, gently patted the dust on it, and looked into the distance with a deep gaze.

She didn't speak, she bit her lip and sat back on the ground, curled up with her hands in her hands, her face rather pale.
