As one of the trade hubs between the Dablis region and the outside world, Agra City has obviously brought great benefits to the villages and towns around Agra City, such as the one in front of Charles in front of him.

As it was located a short distance from the city of Agra and on the side of a trade road, the village was very adept at receiving sudden visitors, and Charles and his party let it in after a vigilant inspection by the village guards.

And the temperament and clothing of Charles and Artoria made these villagers, who have been receiving merchants all the year round and have a vicious eye, know at once in their hearts that this line of people does not look at the number of people, but the benefits brought to themselves will definitely not disappoint them.

Knowing this, the villagers, with a warm smile on their faces, kept inviting Charles to their house to rest.

After choosing a family that looked better, Charles and they rested comfortably for a day under the skilled clothing of the other party, and the feeling of being comfortable after waking up made Charles sigh in his heart, as long as someone has needs, human beings can try their best to meet them.

After a good night's rest, everyone knew that with the murderous reputation of Falling Star Valley on the mainland, they were afraid that the leader of the Star Glory Mercenary Regiment, Patrick, and his party were extremely dangerous in it, and the later they arrived, the slimmer their hope of being rescued.

Therefore, no matter how tired Alicia was, she didn't shout a word of bitterness, but just silently gritted her teeth and followed behind, which made Artoria, who had been standing aside and silently watching, change her opinion of this girl in her heart.

When Alicia almost fell to the ground due to a slip on her feet due to lack of physical strength, Artoria, who was standing on the side, stretched out her hand in time to pull Alicia, making Alicia smile at Artoria very gratefully.

Alicia sighed in her heart that it turned out that this sister, who had been following Mr. Charles without speaking, although her face had always been very serious and rarely showed expressions, she was also a gentle person, just like Mr. Charles.

Alicia quietly raised her head and secretly looked at Charles who was walking in front, and was asking Gina how many ways to get to the Valley of the Fallen Stars, Charles, who suddenly noticed that there was a gaze on him, and when he turned his head and found that it was Alicia, he smiled slightly and turned his head to continue talking to Gina.

When Charles's gaze and Alicia's gaze collided, and Charles smiled gently at Alicia, Alicia's chest was like a fawn thumping, and she hurriedly turned her eyes away and lowered her head shyly.

The girl's youth is always so splendid, although it is extremely hard to travel due to the urgency of time, but even so Alicia's physical fatigue cannot suppress the small joy and satisfaction in her heart.

As he got closer to the Valley of the Fallen Stars, Charles also noticed that the surrounding environment changed, even though the trees in the forest became taller and denser because of the distance from the city where humans lived, but along the way, Charles found that there seemed to be fewer insects and birds.

Moreover, the number of wild creatures attacking them is also increasing, and the way they attack is becoming more and more irritable and crude, and it seems that these creatures are affected.

With the help of a mercenary beside her, Gina knocked the leader of the attacking group of kobolds to the ground, and when she collected her knife and wiped her sweat, she seemed to notice the confusion on Charles's face, and walked to Charles's side to explain to him.

"You have noticed that these wilderness creatures are basically affected by the Falling Star Valley, and they will not consider the difference in strength between the two sides at all, and because these creatures in the Falling Star Valley will have a certain probability of having special abilities, be careful. The Falling Star Valley has become a famous dangerous place on the continent, in addition to the fact that there are no entrances and exits in the valley, these monsters outside the valley that have become strange under the influence of the Falling Star Valley are also one of the reasons. ”

Charles looked down at the corpses of the kobolds on the ground, and upon closer inspection, he could tell that they were different from the ordinary kobolds in the wilderness, and it seemed that each one was different.

"Then let's speed up our feet, hurry up to the Falling Star Valley, I think your leader's situation may be even more critical than we thought."

Hearing Charles say this, Ji Na's face sank, obviously she also knew that the Falling Star Valley was already in danger, plus these mutated monsters, after dozens of days, who knows how long the group leader and his party can last, maybe it has

In the next scene, Ji Na didn't dare to think about it anymore and hurriedly shook her head, but wanting to speed up, Ji Na looked at Alicia at the back of the team worriedly.

After a few days of hurried travel in the wilderness, Alicia's little face, which was still a little baby fat, has lost a lot of weight, and her big eyes, which were originally radiant, have become a little weak, and it is obvious that the girl has not yet adapted to life in the wild.

After following Gina's line of sight and seeing Alicia with a tired and unsupportable face, Charles understood the worry in Gina's heart.

"Let someone else help Alicia." Charles comforted Jena, and he could see the self-blame in Geena's heart after seeing Alicia's emaciated body, "It's even more dangerous for you to put Alicia alone in the city, at least we can protect her in the wild." ”

"yes, I know." Gina reluctantly responded, apparently still not completely letting go.

"Alright, so be it." Charles didn't say anything more, turned his head to Artoria and shouted, "Toria, we're going to speed up a little bit more, but Alicia can't hold it anymore, so it's up to you to support her a little." ”

"Okay, teacher, don't worry, just leave it to me." Artoria had never refused the task given to her by her teacher, and when she agreed, she turned around to see Alicia's apologetic and envious eyes.

"I'm sorry for the trouble you got Artoria. But I'm really envious of Artoria's physical strength, it looks like Artoria you're very powerful, ah~ I'm really jealous of Artoria that you can become a student of Mr. Charles. ”

"I am also very fortunate and honored to be a student of Mr. Charles, he has helped me a lot, he is the person I trust the most, and he is the person closest to me." As if thinking of the time when Charles taught her as a child, Artoria had a gentle and happy smile on her face.

"Okay, Alicia, I'll hold you, just talk to me when you're tired, and I'll carry you on my back." She didn't care about Alicia's surprised look when she saw her smile, and after seeing the person in front of her preparing to start moving, she helped Alicia to follow the person in front of her.

At Charles, they hurried to the road, and Charles and Gina opened the way in front, and the Valley of the Falling Stars soon appeared in front of them.

Whether it is the low clouds above the Falling Star Valley, which flicker with thunder all the time, or the occasional whirlwind fire between the steep mountain walls, and there are often some strange loud noises inside, these all show the danger of the valley in front of you, and its reputation on the continent is definitely not a rumor.

What's more, as soon as he approached the Valley of the Falling Stars, Charles felt a sense of excitement coming from the blood veins in his body, an excitement of meeting a mortal enemy, which made Charles look thoughtfully at the valley in front of him.

Perhaps there are legends about this valley, not just legends, but real gods who fell into it.
