Before evening, Brando had a map of the hunters' hidden routes into the forest. This is thanks to the vigorous propaganda - or rather intimidation - of the bald owners of the carriage house. Know that these secret trails in the forest, known only to hunters, each of which has been passed down from the hunter's father to generation, is almost impossible to hand over to outsiders if it were not for the safety of their own families.

Of course, the identity of the Count of Brando and the royal knight also played a big role, and the general public always had this subconscious understanding that a nobleman did not need this secret at all.

On the contrary, when they heard that another knight from the royal family was going to rescue their relatives himself, they could not help but be grateful, and even offered to be the guide of Brando's party, but they were all politely rejected by Brando—not that he thought he could be more familiar with the forest to the north than the natives, but that it was not worth the loss to carry a burden for the sake of this convenience.

The time was fast approaching the end of the day.

A red sun is setting into the mountains on the western shore of Lake Wallendon, and the setting sun is turning the world into a golden haze. In the twilight, a convoy of just a wagon was leaving the north gate of Repulse Town. Brando rode his horse at the front of the group, along the crescent-shaped sand of the lake, his shadow dragged by the setting sun as if it were a silhouette of the eerie North Anrathur Forest ahead.

Brando looked up at the forest buried in the shadow of the mountains, like a swarthy canopy of nails arranged upwards all the way to the gray background of Mt. Chinfinch, a vast cedar forest.

A series of horses' hooves rang behind his ears.

Brando turned his head back to the side and saw a bright purple color. Charles's robes fluttered slightly in the evening breeze, and a chestnut-colored war horse rode up from behind. Highland wizards are compared to wizards of other schools because of a period of apprenticeship as a knight. As a result, some riding skills were more or less mastered. The young wizard is undoubtedly the best of them all.

"Hey, my lord." Charles's snow-white hands clutched the reins, one holding a cane. He said a special greeting: "I just got something interesting, you must want to see it." ”

Brando didn't bother to look at the grinning guy, in his field of vision. The sunset in the eastern sky faded slightly, and a transparent light blue surged up. A few white stars loomed across the blue night sky, a cool breeze blew across the lake, and floating golden fragments of light rippled above the waves, like bands of light.

Bathed in the evening breeze, he snorted softly, "What's that?" ”

He knew very well the character of this guy who had followed him for a while, and if he showed too much interest, this guy might be proud and sell him off.

Charles laughed dryly: "The bill for the inn ......"

Brando thought that the bald man had finally quietly tampered with the bill. He couldn't help but sigh - it was disappointing that he had been found out even if he was a troublemaker. "It's just a philistine, there's no need to worry about him."

"No, no, no." Charles shook his head: "I don't think he's that stupid. Did anyone restock the inn? ”

Brando was slightly stunned: "Replenishment supplies? Of course not, but you can ask Mr. and Mrs. Laurenna. Maybe they've bought something. ”

"I asked, and they don't know, my lord."

Brando looked back, a suspicious look in his eyes. The convoy had made one last resupply at Fort Kurk, after which there was no need to add any more supplies - he became alarmed: "What the hell is going on?" ”

"I asked the waiter—"

"—Charles, to the point. If you sell it again, I'll kick you into the lake." Brando replied angrily.

"Okay," Charles hurriedly raised his hand in surrender, "My lord, that's what the waiter said, these things were ordered by the little girl who was with us to buy them." ”

"And then he settles the account on us?" Brando was slightly puzzled when he heard this: "Does he think that we are in the same group as that little girl?" ”

"It is indeed a group—but the little girl herself said it, if the waiter had not lied." Charles spread his hands on horseback.

"Wait!" Brando reacted immediately: "You said she left us the bill?" ”

"I'm afraid that's right, my lord," Charles laughed, "and succeeded in seizing the lord of Grudin, and forcing the orthodox nobles to admit it." Having guarded all faith and hope, saved the Ring of the Trade Winds, and went alone to Ampesel to defeat the Grand Duke of Siphach and the Temple of Fire, Lord Tonigel, who had never suffered any losses, did not expect that today he finally capsized at the hands of a little girl - no one would believe it. ”

Brando raised his head, straightened up, faced the direction of the forest, and urged his seated horse to run faster. He narrowed his eyes in the wind and replied, "Yes, that's pretty bad. ”

Seeing the smug look on his lord's face, Charles couldn't help but be slightly stunned, he naturally couldn't catch up with Brando, who was on horseback, so he could only shout from behind: "...... My lord, how do I feel that you have a successful conspiracy? ”

Brando smiled, but didn't answer. He wasn't in a good mood, but very good—Mikaya? The name Everey is famous in history, the witch of Arucher, the rebel, the witch of gold, the merchant woman of equality and sophistry, but one of the most famous-

Undoubtedly, the ruler of Bunosson, the lord of the land of winter, and the king of witches.

She is the master of time and space, the heiress of the void witch Yufkirea, and is known as the most unique of the twelve witches. Because she is a witch, she is pursuing a rebellious path to break free from the predetermined fate of witches, and was once called a 'rebel' by witches.

But it was such a rebel who eventually gained the approval of the Winter Crown and became the first witch king to unify the twelve lines of witches in a thousand years.

Mikaya is a native of Eruin, but before the Third War of the Black Roses, she left Eruin for Cruz with her teacher. Prior to this, the witch king had been living in Arucher, Lantonilan, and was also known as the witch of Arucher.

Mikaya lived a life of exile for nearly thirty years, when she became the Witch King. Eruin is long gone. As a result, Brando doesn't have much to do with the witch king. The name is like one of the many stars floating in Vaughnde's brilliant starry sky, and although it is brilliant, it is only a wave in the long river of history.

But now the meaning is slightly different.

Mikaya was still a little girl. But her talent is unquestionable. Brando is now skeptical that the other party's 'parents' really exist, because her cousin looks more like an orphan. It's a bit of a faux pas to think so, but it's great news for Brando.

than to convince a noble couple to give him their children to teach. It is obviously much easier to seduce a little girl who is isolated and helpless with a stable, privileged environment. From Mikaya's behavior, it can be seen that she must have no food and clothing, maybe she was lost with her parents.

However, Brando did not turn the horse's head, because he remembered that Mikaya would officially become a witch around March next year. He had plenty of time before that, and he had told the innkeeper of the carriage house to keep an eye on him anyway—though he didn't think that the little girl's calmness and intelligence would stay in Repulse after the crime.

But it doesn't matter, there's time.

Brando galloped in the wind with his own warhorse, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Eruin, Valkyrie, Antitina, Berlu, Tamar, and Cagris are excellent young people, if you add the witch king from the other side of history. More and more brilliant talents are converging on this big ship that has emerged from the storm.

Eruin's history may really change because of this.

From evening until the beginning of night, everyone in the convoy saw the young lord galloping under the moon. He ran a long circle along the edge of the forest and circled back to square one. It seems to be extraordinarily high-spirited.

However, few people understood what the Earl was thinking, and only a slightly cold gaze was silently watching the silhouette under the moon.

Summer nights always fall very late. Although a full moon has long been running on the blue-gray mountains. But the fiery sunset was reluctant to retract its last rays of light, and it was not until after eight o'clock that the forest by the lake was completely darkened. If you were in the area of Toniger, the forest would have been filled with the sound of insects, but the cedar forest would have been particularly cold.

The falling temperatures, and the solidified hoarfrost on the pine trees, seemed out of place in the season.

However, Brando did not slow down the convoy, but returned to the carriage and urged everyone to keep moving at the same speed. From here, you will enter the Foy Fork and you will enter the North Anrathur Forest. Far from the Needle Hills, the cedar forest is inhabited by the Frost Demon, a monster of more than 20 levels, which even a seasoned hunter can easily subdue.

Of course, it depends on traps and cooperation.

But what Brando was looking for was a more beautiful creature, and the first night in the forest was especially important to him-

He tightened the reins, slowed the horse, and walked around the cart full of supplies, carefully checking the condition of the wheels and wheels. Navigating the undulating roads of the forest in cold weather is especially depleting for the heavy wagons, so it is necessary to be more cautious.

Brando has had many adventures and naturally has relevant experiences.

But when he walked to the other end, he saw a familiar face. The female knight sat on a dark warhorse, grasped the reins of the horse with both hands, and looked at him calmly, as if she had been waiting for him here for a long time:

"The first night is important, right?"

Her voice was calm and cold.

As the night fell, the cold wind began to take on a chill, and it seemed to sweep through the forest, and Brando shivered. He grabbed the reins in one hand and looked at the female knight:

"Who the hell are you?"

"It doesn't matter, let the others camp." Nimesis swept her ebony hair behind her ears and glanced at him from the corner of her eye on horseback: "Come with me and take your three squires." ”

As she spoke, she turned the horse's head, leaving him with a dashing back.

"Wait......" Brando froze.

"Fool," replied Nimesis, turning her back, "don't ask so many meaningless words, isn't your mission to catch the Crystal Deer, I know it's there." ”

It was as if a bolt of lightning fell from the sky and fell on Brando, causing him to freeze there completely.
