Chapter 4: Go Back and See

After the commotion, the group sat around the campfire and began to eat what Yuenuo had prepared, and Yuenuo and Louis and a group of children stood next to them, according to the customary rules of Faeron, when the master was eating with his friends, they could not eat, but could only pick up some leftovers to fill their stomachs when they cleaned up after the master had finished eating.

"Brother, who are they?" Lavis quietly pulled the corner of Yacoste's clothes, the youngest of these children are about the same age as her, and the older ones are only a few years older than her, Lavis is very curious about where Yacoste went to find such a group of children, of course, there is no child labor in the Faren continent to write a concept, otherwise the kind Lavis will denounce his brother.

"They... Count yourself as my followers. Acoste knocked his chin with a spoon, in fact, he himself was a little confused about the relationship between the two, if you want to say that he has no territory, not a lord, if you want to say that it is a subordinate, it is not, the group of children led by Louis can only do cooking and washing clothes and other household chores, it looks more like a group of servants.

"Then brother, how are you going to settle them?" Lavis asked, tilting her little head, obviously she cares about her peers, and although they don't look like they've had a good life before, the little girl wants them to be happy in the future.

"Now, I'm going to build a new village on the ruins of the original Tuk Town, there are no terrible monsters or enemies there, and the damage caused by the demons has already been repaired by the temple." Acoste patted Lavis's head, and when he talked about his hometown, Acoste couldn't help but think of something, and his gaze began to look deeply to the west.

"Brother Curry, they must be living happily in heaven now." When the little girl saw Yacoste's expression, she knew what her brother was thinking, and she put Yacoste's hand on her chest, hoping to comfort the other party with the warmth of her heart.

"I'm fine, let's get some rest early." Acoste smiled softly at Lavis, then turned around and got into his tent, now that the two mages in the team have returned, Acoste and they don't need to assign more people on duty, a few early warning spells Belavis and Doris have teamed up to release around the camp, and in addition, the vicinity of Karst Lake has always been very calm, and there are no dangerous creatures.

The moon on its branches, the cries of owls and unknown nocturnal creatures form the nighttime music of the forest, and the bright moonlight reflects the heart-stopping fluorescent colors on the murmuring surface of the karst lake.

A young boy who looked to be in his early teens was carrying a piece of chopped wood and throwing it into the burning bonfire, and Acoste did not arrange for the children to keep vigil, which they had organized spontaneously, relying on their own numbers, and each person only had to keep watch for an hour at night.

The little boy couldn't help but yawn, it was very painful for an adult to be called up so late and work for an hour, let alone a teenager like him who was just starting to develop. But the little boy was willing in his heart, and the reason was him, and instead of letting him live his life in the gate district of Ascatra again, he kept a vigil here every night.

However, the effect of the little boy's vigil was not very good, just behind him, a black shadow suddenly ran out of the tent, the figure was agile, the pace was strange, and in a short time it actually ran to the place where the trap was set by Acoste, but those many and well-defended spell traps seemed to be nothing to the black shadow, he crossed over in three steps and two steps, and then ran towards the forest.

"Doris, do you want to go back?" At the moment when the black shadow was about to disappear into the forest, suddenly a voice came out, the black shadow stopped, and looked behind in surprise, a young man with short silver hair was sitting on a big stone and looking at himself with a smile, and the evening breeze gently blew the broken hair on his forehead.

"You, you, you, you! I didn't want to go back! I just want to take a look inside the tribe to see how those uncles and aunts are doing, and how they are doing. Doris was speechless when she saw Acoste, and the expression on her face was like that of a fried cat, angry and shy, and most of her face was red in the moonlight.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go. Acoste put his hand on the big rock, and the whole person jumped lightly to Doris's side, and walked towards the Thousand Needles Forest without looking back.

"Do you want to come with me? But why? Doris looked at Acoste in confusion, he didn't know what Acoste meant by doing this.

"What, I'm afraid you're lost in the forest. Hurry up, we're going to be back before dawn. Acoste casually said perfunctorily, turning his head to urge the little druid.

"I hate it, I've lived in this forest since I was a child, and if I get lost, you can't get out." Doris understood what Acoste meant, and she grimaced at the Half-Elf Swordmaster and jumped to the front.

The two of them soon descended deep into the depths of the forest shrouded in night.

The night in the forest is pitch black everywhere, the bright moonlight is obscured by the shadows of the trees, and only 1/10 of the ground can illuminate, fortunately Acoste has dim vision, and Doris is very familiar with the Thousand Needles Forest, otherwise only one of the two people may really get lost.

In this environment, don't think too much about the lighting methods of light spells and torches, doing so in the dark forest is undoubtedly turning yourself into a light bulb, which is useless except to attract countless beasts to attack herself, but Doris can use the 4-ring spell dark vision to bless herself, so that she can see the surrounding environment clearly in a short time, but for some reason, the little druid did not choose this spell, but clasped hands with Acoste, Relying on the other party's guidance to identify the local method, he slowly moved forward step by step.

I don't know how long it was, but it was the darkest time of the day, and it was also the time when all the evil gods were most active, and it was at this time when the goddess of the night Shar was at her most powerful, and her followers would pray to their goddess or hold rituals at this time in the hope of receiving the goddess's favor and gifts.

"It's here, we're here." In a lush grass, two heads suddenly appeared, Doris and Acoste's hair hung a few dead leaves, and there were a few scratches on the bare skin that were hooked by tree branches, at this time hearing Doris's shout, Acoste instantly breathed a sigh of relief, tnnd, I will never go to the forest again.

However, when the two of them looked up and found two pairs of scarlet eyes staring at him, Acoste instantly felt a chrysanthemum cool, he had seen a lot of red eyes since the adventure, but none of these creatures were friendly.
