After the heavy rain, the whole valley became wet. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The dust and dry air that had accumulated for more than half a year were washed away, the sky was as blue as a wash, and from time to time a large flock of birds flew by, and the crisp chirping sound came, indicating that autumn in the Emerald Wasteland had arrived.

The northern outpost is built on the mountain, and the further you go into the city, the higher the terrain, and the stone buildings on the high places have climbed to the top of the cliff.

At the top of the outpost was a square, three-story stone fort, standing alone on the edge of a cliff, ravaged daily by the north wind and gravel, and the surface of the façade was worn out with pitted paddles and signs of age.

At this time, Bill was sitting on the roof of the stone castle, comfortably leaning against the wall, with a large piece of meat in his left hand and a large bottle of rum in his right hand, eating happily.

Next to Bill, the bearded dwarf Hoover sat on the ground, holding a squeaky rodent leg in both hands, gnawing and biting, and the beard was full of oil flowers.

"That doctor is so annoying, why don't you eat meat or drink, Lao Tzu is still a wounded!"

Bill chewed on the piece of meat in his mouth, muttered indistinctly, and took a long sip of rum: "That Barkley is too, so is long-winded!" I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup Yang Shou kid poured on him, he follows my ass every day, and he almost goes to the toilet with me! ”

Hoover burped a lot, had two blushes on his cheeks, and laughed, "So I'm bringing you here for a good meal, they won't find it here." But let me tell you, your recruit apprentice is definitely not simple, don't look at the young age, but the shrewdness is amazing~ do it! ”

Bill smiled, touched the wine bottle with Hoover, and took another big sip of wine on the barbecue, his face couldn't hide his pride and joy.

This time I came out to find Yang Shou's "wonderful", which was not worth the trip.

Before, in just one day, too much had happened in the northern outpost. If it weren't for Yang Shou, Bill really didn't know if he would have had a chance to sit here and drink.

It's just a pity that until now, Bill and his friends haven't found the body of Lao Chang's daughter, so he always has a knot in his heart.

"By the way, you just said that after this military operation, you are going to the orc kingdom?" Hoover asked vaguely, shaking his head.

"Hmm!" Bill nodded and said.

After joining the army for so many years, Old Bill has also seen through it.

Just like Yang Shou said, the Empire of Steel is becoming more and more corrupt, the general trend has gone, and the word "steel" in the Empire of Steel is now only one name. What are you going to do after retiring, guarding that little land, being devastated by the lords of the empire, and then dying alone?

I'm afraid I can't help but draw my sword and chop up those lazy vampire nobles~

Therefore, when he heard that Yang Shou inadvertently mentioned that he was going to adventure in the orc kingdom, Bill was immediately moved. Not only because he was dissatisfied with the Empire of Steel, but also because of the many strange feelings that Yang Shou brought him.

"Speaking of which, I've been here long enough~"

Hoover said, looking at Bill, two small eyes blinked: "Let's go together, how about it?" ”

"Haha, did I hear it wrong, I remember someone swore that if they couldn't build high-grade magic equipment for a day, they wouldn't leave the northern outpost for a day~" Bill laughed.

"Phew! Those humans went too far, and they didn't let them sell magic equipment, and they even sent mages to monitor near my house! ”

Hoover said hatefully, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp: "As long as there is a magic fluctuation in my blacksmith shop, someone will come and search immediately!" In the name of my beard, if I changed my temper 50 years ago, I would have beaten that arrogant human squad leader into a pig's head! ”

"Since you are willing, let's go together, and Yang Shou will have no opinion if you want to."

Bill smiled happily, nodded, then stood up and waved his hand: "So, we're about to embark on an unknown adventure again?" Hahaha~ Cheers to a new life! ”

"Cheers...... Oops! Hoover jumped up and shouted, but he was too drunk to stand unsteadily, and sat back on the ground.

Bill laughed heartily, and suddenly realized that the originally boring and boring days had changed dramatically because of Yang Shou's arrival.

Looking out through the battlements at the top of the wall, a layer of new green appeared on the Great Wasteland overnight, and it was a completely different scenery than before the heavy rain. Above the canyon in the distance, a large herd of wild beasts rushed eastward, bringing up a cloud of smoke and dust.

Wrong...... It doesn't seem to be a herd of beasts, why are you running so slowly?

Bill saw a hint of abnormality, and immediately woke up half of the wine, and quickly leaned on the wall to take a closer look, and cold sweat immediately flowed.

At the front of the "herd", at the head are several tall humanoid creatures, who can't see the whole picture, but they are definitely armed; Looking back, a large area of Wuyangyang is full of gray-white skeletons, which are very conspicuous because of the green grass and trees.

The second half of the team was shrouded in smoke and dust, and it was impossible to see inside. Above the line was a group of blackened shadows, the details of which could not be seen, but their wings were very large.

It's an army of the undead, an army of the undead coming from the direction of the Lich Mountains!

"Oh my God,"

Bill's face was full of shock, and the fragrant piece of meat in his hand fell to the ground, without even noticing: "Quick, go and inform the city lord!" ”

……

From the Twilight Valley to the Shaking Mountain Beast Graveyard, the road is a little tortuous.

The Weasel people dug a well-connected transportation network underground, but they didn't dare to be disrespectful to the deceased, and they never dared to approach the Shaking Mountain Beast Cemetery, so Yang Shou and Jane could only rush from the surface.

At this time, above a canyon, two figures advanced quickly, Yang was in front and Jian was behind.

The mountain breeze blew, driving away some of the heat, and also blew Jane's beautiful short hair messy, and the hair brushed over the white and tender earlobes and cheeks, exuding a charming youthful atmosphere.

However, at this time, Jian didn't notice anything, just stared at Yang Shou's back thoughtfully.

Yang Shou was angered by Adjutant Liu's words before, and yelled a few words, but was caught by Jane, and Yang Shou had no choice but to explain to Jane that the Guardian had come to visit him and told him about Wild Heart.

Guardian is the name of some special groups of mortals.

These people are independent of any nation, a powerful and mysterious organization that is beyond the mundane world.

The mission of this organization is to monitor all powerful evil beings on the Miracle Continent, judge their movements, and eliminate them if necessary, to put it bluntly, to maintain world peace.

The members of the Guardians are mysterious, most of them are high-level mages, and occasionally some people who are particularly powerful or have other special features are recruited into it.

Among them, there are a few members of the Guardians who are widely known to the world, such as the first chief of the orc kingdom who has passed away, the founder of the Red Dragon Mage Association of the Human Empire, and the "White Shadow Sword Saint" McGrady who is still active on the Miracle Continent, and so on.

Although no one has actually seen the Guardians strike, every historian insists that these Guardians can be found in the major events in the history of the Miracle Continent.

Jane was no stranger to any of this, after all, she had a real Sword Master as her teacher.

Duke said that the Guardians organization really exists, and that McGrady is indeed a member of the Guardians.

They are only responsible for the major events of the Miracle Continent, such as an ancient giant beast running out of the deep sea, a group of demons slipping over from another dimensional space, etc., and they will not interfere in other events, disputes between countries, etc.

According to Yang Shou, the Guardian intervened in this matter, not because of the conflict between the Metal Empire and the Orc Kingdom, but because once the Wild Heart was taken away, it was the undead of the Lich Mountain Range who benefited the most.

Next, the lives will be ruined, and half of the Miracle Continent will be involved in the flames of war, which the Guardians cannot tolerate.

But Jane now suspects that the omniscient "grandfather" that Yang Shou originally said was a cover at all.

If Yang Shou used the guardian as a guise at the beginning, let alone Caroline, Jane wouldn't believe it, so Yang Shou first used his grandfather as a shield to buffer it.

After these days, Yang Shou's strength and talent have slowly emerged, and it is much easier to throw out the guardian and let others accept it.

Thinking of this, Jane became more and more sure in her heart, Yang Shou, this guy, was far from being as innocent and scheming as he seemed on the surface.

But...... What should I do about Miss, now that the enemy is in the dark and she is in the light, isn't it in danger at any time?

Yang Shou felt the burning gaze behind him, and when he turned his head, he just saw Jian looking preoccupied.

Alas...... This little girl, do you want to be so persistent?

Jian walked a few steps quickly, walked side by side with Yang Shou, and asked seriously: "Since you know everything, why don't you just tell Miss the truth?" If Miss is really the daughter of the Great Knight Allen......"

"What's the use of saying that? With what you know about Caroline, will she kill Thomas and break with your majesty with a single word? ”

Yang Shou slowed down, just took this opportunity to recover his strength, scratched his chin, and explained to Jane: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Thomas attacks her this time, she will not choose to commit treason, but will choose to return to the imperial capital and directly confront His Majesty the Emperor." In this regard, she really looks like Lord Allen~"

Jane opened her mouth slightly, but she didn't speak, she knew that Yang Shou was right.

Caroline loved the country, loved the people of her realm, was a dutiful lord, and deep down her loved ones and friends were far higher than herself.

If what Yang Shou said was true, wouldn't Sister Caroline be unable to avoid a tragic fate as long as she stayed in the empire?

Jane stomped her foot in exasperation and swung her scabbard to interrupt a bush next to her: how could things have come to this, it was just an ordinary task to transport heavy baggage!

It's rare to see Jane angry, pouting, frowning, and even her movements are becoming more and more like an ordinary girl.

Yang Shou couldn't help but look at it twice, just in front of Shang Jian's worried eyes, his heart couldn't help but soften.

"Don't worry too much, I didn't say it explicitly, but I've hinted at her many times, and she'll understand."

Yang Shou smiled and comforted: "Trust me, I will protect you." ”

If she had heard that a few days ago, Jane would have thought that the recruit had a hole in his head.

Hearing this now, Jane, who has always been independent and strong, can't help but feel warm in her heart and extra down-to-earth.
