Sunshine City at night, quiet and quiet. In addition to the guards still patrolling, people who have worked all day will draw black curtains in their homes to block out the daylight. And the whole city fell asleep quietly.

Alan hiked briskly all the way down uninhabited trails. And he found that on both sides of the path, every twenty meters, there would be a piece of ore carefully carved into various shapes, glowing, and Alan couldn't help but get closer and take a closer look. But I can't see through its essence. So, he covered his hands with the ore.

"Stone of Light!"

Unlike Star Mine, the Light Stone itself has the ability to emit light. There is no need for any external force to wake up. But only for the use of light. Star Ore, on the other hand, contains magical energy, which is the light that is revealed through its magical nature. Star Mine can help magicians practice and increase their mana. The Stone of Light, on the other hand, does not.

However, the production of the Light Stone is far less than its ordinary function. Its production is relatively limited. Only specific veins can produce this type of ore.

"With so many Light Stones collected, it seems that Sunlight City deserves to be the closest city to the royal capital. Its prosperity can also be seen. There should be something I'm looking for. ”

Thinking about it, Alan quickened his pace.

The National Library, located south of Nikko Castle near Lake Xing, was built there because the Imperial Library in the royal capital is reorganized on a large scale every ten years, and many of the books are removed. so that other more collectible books can be included. The removed collections will still be of considerable value and collectible value, so they will be stored in the National Library in Nikko City for others to see. Therefore, it was built against the Star Lake, so that the magicians of the royal capital could easily urge spells and transfer the collection of books.

After all, I haven't had a good rest for a few nights, and my physical strength is too much. After running for a while, Alan gradually slowed down. Just as he was thinking about whether to rest for a while, there was a sound of broken branches and horses' hooves in the woods by the roadside.

A frightened white horse galloped all the way to Allen, who was standing on the side of the road, and there was a howl of fierce beasts in the woods behind him.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge, Eren jumped up on a somersault, just as the white horse appeared where he was standing. He rolled over and jumped onto his horse, grabbing his mane. The white horse neighed in the sky, and its body was almost at a right angle to the ground. Alan knew that the horses were frightened and could not be taken hard. Then he jumped back from his horse. With one foot on the ground, one lunged to its side, grabbed its mane again with his left hand, and wrapped his arms around the neck of the entire white horse. The right hand soothes the bridge of its nose. By inertia, the white horse rushed forward several meters. Just as he was about to collide with the trees on the other side, the white horse gradually quieted down. The horse's hooves stopped.

Alan looked at the woods behind him, and a chill hit,

"It looks like you've met a terrible enemy, don't be afraid, it's okay now!"

He then took on an attacking stance, and although he didn't have a weapon on his body (it was just a shovel), Eren was still confident that he could deal with the average beast.

However, with a roar, the beast did not attack for a long time. Alan felt that the tension in the air disappeared immediately.

He looked back at the white horse in front of him, this was an adult mare, snow-white, sturdy, with a loud mane and a long and loud voice, it was a rare good horse.

Looking around, there was no one at home, and Alan stroked the horse's mane

"If you don't mind, just give me a ride. I also swear that I will keep you safe. We are equals. Thank you for being here. Then I'll call you Ressa for now, Tia will be happy to see you. ”

Seeing that the white horse did not resist, but snorted twice, Alan understood that the contract between them had been reached. Alan was very happy and turned over on the horse, although there was no stirrup, but as long as he grabbed Songsong's mane, he could make Allen focus very well.

"Let's go, Ressa, we need to get to the library before dark, drive!"

The white horse spreads its hooves, and the sound of the horse's hooves fades away. A black shadow walked out of the roadside woods illuminated by the Stone of Light, with short blue hair and dark blue eyes, looking straight in the direction Alan had left, and a mechanical arm under the left sleeve glowed with a metallic luster, which was even more chilling against the backdrop of the Stone of Light. The manipulator pinched the neck of the ancient jungle bear that was still gurgling out of the corner of his mouth, and the "click" was clean.

"One step away, this horse is mine, huh......"

The owner of the mechanical arm sneered and dragged the bear's carcass to hide in the woods.
