Act III Night (II)

It's not an official road, it's a quiet wood. When Ives was preparing to camp, he deliberately avoided the crowded official road and chose a secluded place. It's in the middle of a wooded area and overgrown with weeds, so it's not a good place to run horses. Not to mention that it was dark all around at this time, and if you rode a horse in such a situation, it would be easy to get tripped by irregular branches, even if you were an elf.

As soon as Avis raised the crossbow arrow in his hand, a black horse galloped out of the woodland beside him, and some leaves fell to the ground in a mess, and the horse actually ignored the messy branches, and rushed out of a complex woods!

The purebred plains horse, which needed to be pulled by Ives in front to get into the woods, was nothing by comparison.

Ives could also see the man sitting on the back of the black horse. She was dressed in silver armor, which was made of mythril and reflected a faint silver glow even in the darkness. She wore a sturdy helmet on her head, which obscured her countenance, leaving only a blonde head tied into a crisp ponytail, and a somewhat small and delicate chin. The female knight also had a long, one-handed greatsword pinned to her waist.

Unlike two-handed greatswords, this longsword is thinner and lighter. Although some people will use both hands to hold it, in fact, this kind of greatsword can be mastered with one hand, but it requires extremely high arm strength. Behind the woman, Ives also saw her carrying a large golden shield. Seeing someone here, the woman was stunned for a moment, she subconsciously wanted to raise her giant sword, and a bead of sweat appeared on Avis's forehead, and she hurriedly shouted loudly: "Wait, I'm a good person!" ”

The woman's brow furrowed slightly, then she stretched out her hand, emitting a burst of light. There was a faint blue glow from Avis's body, while the glow from the mercenaries was red—the hallmark of the evil faction. Avis's heart moved slightly, detecting evil, is this guy a paladin? He couldn't help but start rejoicing that his camp wasn't evil.

As the woman stopped, a shrill sound sounded behind her.

Ives felt as if he had heard it somewhere, the 'gurgling' of his jaw against his palate, but it was a little too harsh in the silence of the night, and then Ives remembered where he had heard it—on his most hated foe in the game. His face changed drastically, and he barely hesitated, and ran away.

The robbers, who remained in place and were bound by cobwebs, could not breathe a sigh of relief, and then they were greeted by a very terrifying scene. In the moonlight, there was a 'rope' sound, and then they saw some white objects crawling out of the dark woods. Rotting pieces of flesh could be faintly visible on these 'creatures', and underneath the pieces of flesh were Sen Sen's white bones. After seeing these guys, the robbers who were bound by cobwebs couldn't help but scream.

"Ghouls, these guys are ghouls!!"

Avis ran briskly, and after a while, there was a biting sound behind him, and it was clear that the effectiveness of the spider web was gone, but unfortunately the gang of bandits could not escape far, so they were entangled by ghouls and eaten. It's a pity that he didn't ask who was going to kill him.

Avis hurried to his camp, he picked up the backpack on the ground, and then didn't care about anything else, and went straight to his pure-blooded plain horse. Avis's eyes scanned the chaotic woodland, but he didn't see a path big enough for him to gallop. And just as Avis was struggling, a high-pitched voice came: "Quick! Come with me, go this way! ”

The sky of Vidora was pure, and a cool breeze blew at night, and the full moon hung in the sky, illuminating the path ahead. There was no road in the woods, but under the collision of the black, unknown kind of horse, they actually ran out a road that was enough for the horses to trot.

From time to time, the thorns on the road cut a small wound on the horses and Avis, and by the time they finally broke out of the forest and onto the official road, Avis's clothes were already a little tattered. But fortunately, he was not wearing luxurious aristocratic clothes at this time, otherwise he might have died of heartache.

The black horse in front of him also stopped his steps, and after snorting, paced in place. The woman on horseback also took off her helmet, revealing a delicate face—thanks to the half-elf's excellent vision in the dark, Avis could see the beautiful face in front of him clearly. He had to sigh, a heroic woman. Then, Avis's gaze saw a sign on the chest of the golden woman in front of him. It was a fist that had clenched lightning, and some of the information went through Avis's mind before he raised his head and said, "Are you...... The holy warrior of Mora's majesty? ”

Mora, the god of justice, has great divine powers. In this world, Mora is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, gods. And Mora's paladin is undoubtedly a very powerful profession. In front of Avis's eyes, the female paladin nodded and said, "My name is Ilya Ekmond, and I am a warrior who believes in His Majesty Mora. ”

"Polite...... My name is Avis and I'm a mage. Well, there is no god of faith for the time being. "In an atheistic society, and a typical materialist mage after crossing over, it is natural that Ives would not have the kind of affection for any god called 'faith'.

"This is not the place to talk." Ilya said, "Let's hurry up and follow the official road...... I know there's a village up ahead, and it should get us rid of these damn guys. Ilya's face was a little unkind, and Ives turned his head to look behind him, and although he didn't see the nasty guys, the ghoul's characteristic 'clucking' sound continued to echo in his ears, making Ives look a little stiff.

The Ghoul's challenge level is only level 1, which is the same as Avis's current level. But ghouls have a peculiarity, that is, as long as they are there, there is a high chance that a group of ghouls will go out together. If he encounters more than three ghouls, Ives basically has to escape, not to mention that there is a high chance of a demon in the ghoul community that challenges level 3, which is not something that Ives can deal with now.

As soon as Ilya and Ives clamped the horse's belly, they quickly rushed on the official road. A cool evening breeze blew in my face. It's early summer, and the weather is still a little cold, so if you gallop fast at night, the oncoming evening breeze will be quite biting. But in the face of the ghouls chasing after him, no one cares about these little things.

"Da Da Da ......"

Ives looked back from time to time, the figure of the ghoul was long gone, but there was still a faint smell of rotting corpses in the air, and I don't know if this was an illusion on the part of Avis, Ives always felt that there were some ghouls following their steps behind them......

After passing a turn, Avis saw the village in the distance. A faint moonlight fell from the sky and fell on the still prosperous town. At this time, the town is still brightly lit, and the streets are full of travelers. At this time, it was just past dinner time, and there was still a steady stream of people coming and going. Avis's face was slightly red, if he knew that there was a village so close, he wouldn't have camped in the wilderness anyway. Both from a comfort point of view and from a safety point of view, the hostel has to be quite wild. Although Ives has memories of two lives, it is actually the first time that he has traveled alone in the wilderness, so it is normal for him to make such mistakes.

There are some uninhabited rice paddies outside the town, and there are some scattered houses next to the paddy fields. The center of the town, on a higher hill, is surrounded by a wooden fence, which provides the most basic protection for the town. Avis and Elija's horses galloped quickly, and after a while, the town, which was still far away from the end of the line of sight, slowly zoomed in on the sight, and finally they came to the front of the town.

Slowing down the horse's progress, Avis's gaze swept to the side, and the female paladin seemed to slow down the horse's forward progress as if she had a relaxed heart. Avis said to her curiously, "What's the matter with those ghouls?" ”

"Well...... These ghouls were also variables that I didn't anticipate. The paladin turned her head to look at the forest behind her. In the darkness of the night, the black forest seemed to be some ancient beast with a big black mouth, which made people's hearts feel a little cold, "Recently, we have seen some traces of the undead in Esengo, and I have been entrusted here to search for traces of those undead's wreaking havoc...... And in one of the ruins, I see that there are many wandering undead there......"

Ives immediately flashed such a word in his mind - dungeon. Dungeons often represent monsters, equipment, and experience, and such places can often attract many adventurers with dreams of wealth. Unfortunately, Avis, who had just broken away from the family, was also such an adventurer.

"Although I tried to retreat from that place as carefully as I could, I ended up triggering some magic devices, so I ended up being hunted down and you were involved...... I'm so sorry. ”

"No...... It's nothing. Avis smiled and said, "It's just a different place to stay, anyway, the accommodation in this town is much better than in the wilderness, right?" ”

"It would be great if you could forgive me." Ilya laughed too. Ives was silent for a while, and then suddenly spoke, "I wonder what Miss Ilya plans to do next?" ”
