The early morning of the autumn in the dagger jungle woke up from the tail of the night with a few chirps from the chirps of the chickadees.

After waking up early in the morning from the Adventurers' Guild, Finn had breakfast with the others in a tavern next to the Guild, and then left the North Village Entrance of Logging Village with his companions and a dozen adventurers from the Sideburns Adventure Troupe, and began to march towards the depths of the Dagger Forest.

The air in the countryside of the Violet Kingdom is fresh, and the sound of birds can be heard everywhere in the dense forest in the early morning, and the trees in the forest are in the stage of losing their leaves due to the season.

The young paladin walked along a path covered with blue and yellow leaves, and if he remembered correctly, the route they had chosen was the same route that merchants in the kingdom usually followed.

This secluded path in the dense forest cleared the two exits on the north and south edges of the Dagger Forest at a relatively short distance, and many small caravans in Violet history tried to shorten the time it took to get from the lower Bernube plain to the East Golantian Plain in order to make a profit, so they risked being attacked by wild beasts and bandits many times under the escort of mercenaries and adventurers to cross the dagger forest.

There was no road in the ancient jungle, but there were more people walking, so from then on there was a path that was trodden by countless pairs of soles.

Finn and the rest of the party walked through the gaps between the trees, and Lilith might not have been used to walking with so many strange adventurers, so she kept following him with a hand holding the corner of the young man's clothes along the way, which made the people of the Sideburns group always have some small talk with the other companions around them when they looked back at the two of them.

These chattering fellows know that the relationship between the Paladin Youth and the Warlock Maiden may not be as warm as they think, but they don't care what the truth is, and gossip seems to be quite popular in both modern society and the Western fantasy world.

Walking along the path in the woods, Finn would sometimes glance at some of the grass on either side of the group.

The places that Fein had given a little extra attention often made some noise as the team marched, but the young man was not worried about a sudden attack on the team, for he knew that the sender of the movement was not the lizardmen who had settled in a swamp in the eastern part of the Dagger Forest, nor was it the bandit that often haunted the Dagger Forest. Rather, it was Camusha, who had advanced to the Shadow Squire class, Arya, who had a natural familiarity with the jungle environment, and Randolph's three Rogue Adventurers, one of whom was the most agile of the three Rogue Adventurers, a second-order Rogue advanced class known for its ability to patrol, reconnoitre, infiltrate, and spy compared to the Assassin and Shadow Squire.

The Scout can't give the player the thrill of a sword like an Assassin, nor can they be as good as a Shadow Squire when it comes to protecting a particular character.

This second-order class of thieves was quite unpopular in the game world of Finn's previous life, but the major guilds in the game without exception rushed to the rogue players who needed advanced scouts, because those experienced veterans understood that war and combat are not the same concept, and the role played by an elite squad of scouts in war is simply invaluable.

This is not an exaggeration, but a lesson learned by the players of the major guilds of the human camp after experiencing the fiasco in the early days of the Demon Tide War.

As you can imagine, on a vast battlefield whose distance is measured in kilometers, the intricate terrain of plains, coasts, hills, mountains, forests, lakes and even deserts is randomly distributed on the basis of the order of nature. You and your allies each lead a large coalition of troops, but you don't have scouts, so you don't know where the enemy is, how many people there are, where you'll reach after climbing over a hill, or if there's any danger in a forest that seems suitable for ambushing troops that you don't know...... Wait a minute.

For a war, or even some slightly larger regimental battles, the scout is the eyes of the team, and this sentence is not false at all, no matter what time it is.

If you go into battle with your troops without even putting your eyes on, you may not even know where the enemy is or even where your flank is when you are attacked. You can only lead your soldiers around like a headless fly, and finally defeat you in vain.

There is a Scout in the sideburns band, which is a good thing for Finn and Randolph because of the scouting. They can avoid a lot of potential troubles in the jungle, and at the same time be able to anticipate some potential dangers.

"Finn, how long do you think it will take us to find the Holy Avenger?"

Thanks to the cooperation between the young man and the Sideburns Adventure Group, the Paladin Boy Leah, who looks as beautiful as a girl, is probably the happiest person in the team at this time.

According to his own words. He had originally come to the Dagger Forest for the rumored possible Holy Avenger, and it was an unexpected surprise for Finn to finally be able to join forces with the Sideburns Adventure Party, given the power of numbers. Solidarity is good.

Leah's expression was as happy as a blooming lily, and the young paladin turned his head when he heard his voice, and looked at him with an excited and innocent smile on his face, and couldn't bear to pretend not to hear it, and immediately explained to him again with a somewhat helpless expression: "Didn't I emphasize it to Randolph and you before I sent it?" I can help you find the Holy Avengers, but the primary goal of me, Lilith, Arya, and Camussa is really just to get there. We were in a hurry to get to the north on a bit of a private matter, and there wasn't much time for us to delay on the way. ”

"Didn't Krandolph say the same? It will take at least a day and a half to go straight through the Dagger Forest, and we will definitely have to camp in the forest tonight. Leah smiled nonchalantly.

The young man's journey, as the bald head of the Sideburns Adventure Group had estimated, would have required a night in the woods.

King Atrik's army was able to traverse this dense forest in only half a day hundreds of years ago, because the forest-piercing force led by Ancestor Violet was a pure cavalry team, and there were several wizard soldiers on horseback in the team who were constantly maintaining a group buff that increased the movement speed of the speeding army.

On the other hand, looking at the configuration of Finn's group, not only do they have no horses, but the most reliable spellcaster in the entire team is probably Lilith, and the gap between the two sides is obvious.

"So?"

"Anyway, there is still a day and a half to go, who knows if the clues will come to the door on their own?"

"You're so optimistic." Fein smiled and complimented the girl-looking colleague, then turned his gaze to the other two young men not far away.

Most of the people of the Sideburns Adventure Group walked in front of the way, but the young man named Guy followed behind the group, and from time to time Fyn glanced at him, as if he was always on guard against this young paladin who actually had no ill intentions at all.

Keeping an eye on Fein was a task that Randolph had privately given to Guy before he set off. Although the young paladin had made a promise in front of Randolph last night, the leader of the Sideburns Adventure Group had seen the world after all.

It is common knowledge that many adventurers know that the suspicion of people is a little bit of common sense, and it is not uncommon for adventurers to hide knives in laughter, so Randolph could not fully trust Finn, so he arranged for Guy to stay behind the team to spy on the collaborator of their adventure group.

Finn could see that Guy was spying on him, but he didn't care, and understood Randolph's caution, because just as he had to make sure that the sideburns wouldn't get in the way of his plans before he reached a partnership agreement with Randolph, Randolph didn't know what was really going on in his mind when he worked with him.

If he had been Randolph, he thought he would have arranged for a member of the party to stay at the tail of the party to keep an eye on the uncertainties in the team.

Glancing at the black-haired mountain man, Finn's gaze was on the other young man at the tail of the line, the brown-haired young man who claimed to be a doctor, Sheen.

The reason why the young paladin and his party had to traverse the Dagger Forest was because they had to reach the Scorpion Valley in the north of the kingdom in the shortest possible time, while the sideburns and Leah were also targeting the rumored Holy Avenger.

It was common sense that Sheen didn't have to be involved in this journey into the jungle, but as the young man and his companions and adventurers were about to leave the logging village, the depressed young doctor unexpectedly picked up his toolbox and ran down the stairs connecting the second floor and the hall from the Adventurers' Guild, claiming that he was not acting for fame and treasure, but only to be able to treat the wounded in time when everyone was injured. As a result, he insisted on joining the plans of young people and adventurers.

So now, the young doctor, with a pair of single-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, followed the tail of the team with the medical toolbox in his hand, which Leah was quite disgusting.

"Finn."

As he was walking, the young paladin suddenly heard Randolph turn around and call to himself at the front of the group.

He immediately turned his gaze away from Sheen and saw the leader of the Sideburns Adventure Bands walking towards him. (To be continued.) )
