Lilith couldn't give a convincing reason, but Finn looked at the girl he had first met, and suddenly remembered what Vercidis had told him in the Priory, and wondered if Lilith would be as aware of the tide as the old Tiflin witch Buthera.

After all, Lilith is a warlock with a mysterious background, and her lost memories can even be related to the wizards of the Tower of Babel, so why can't she sense the fluctuation of magic?

Thinking about it this way, if Lilith also sensed the aura of magic floating in the dense forest, then her uneasiness ...... Maybe it's not out of nowhere?

Is there really anything else in the jungle that you didn't expect?

The young man looked at the girl, was silent for a moment, and fell into thought.

……

As a result, considering Lilith's instincts and her introverted personality that she still doesn't like to be around strangers, Finn eventually sets out with the dark-haired Warlock Maiden on a journey into the woods to find Arya.

Fain and Lilith walked into the densely vegetated woods of the Dagger Forest in the direction that the Witcher Elf Girl had left a few minutes ago, and the environment around the two of them was pitch black because of the darkness of the night, but fortunately, the young paladin and the black-haired warlock girl were not pure-blooded humans, and both of them had dark vision that ordinary people did not have.

Therefore, instead of blinding the eyes of the two of them, the black night is beneficial to both of them from another angle.

For example, when a battle breaks out, the Paladin Boy and the Warlock Maiden can always see better than the enemy.

Unless the other person's visual ability is the same as the two of them.

"Finn, it's quiet here."

The skirt at Lilith's feet parted the blades of grass with her leather boots.

This is the third time she's said that since she set off.

Finn turned his head with the iron sword in his hand, and he looked at the girl's plain face, and he knew in his heart what Lilith wanted to express.

The woods are indeed quiet.

But it's too quiet.

When everything has passed a certain degree, there will be something wrong,

"We'll find Arya's, right? Fane? Lilith waited for Finn to stop and turn, then asked softly.

"It depends on what Arya thinks, and what we do." Finn raised his gaze to the moonlight leaking through the cracks in the treetops overhead, "And, a little luck that can't be ignored." ”

As the words fell, he closed his eyes, allowing the spirit to connect with some of the eyeliner he had summoned for health not long ago.

About ten minutes ago, he took Lilith out of the camp and into the dense forest, and soon after using a magic item called a spider web gem, he paid more than twenty health points, summoned more than twenty ghost spiders around him, and then spent a little time praying a few healing spells to refill his health. After that, the summoned ghost spiders were sent out as scouts to explore the surrounding area.

Ghost spiders are animal-like undead creatures in the form of imaginary bodies, the size of a finger, with a total level of 2, and 1/1 health indicates that most of these little creatures will die if they are discovered, but their value lies in the fact that their visual organs are connected to the spirit of the summoner and can share their vision with the summoner.

Finn's eyes closed naturally, extending a slender mid-hub band into the spiritual world that connected to the eyes of all the ghost spiders.

For a moment, although his own eyes were blocked by closed eyelids, everything the ghost spiders saw came to his mind at the same moment.

It's a bit like you're sitting in a surveillance room and looking at more than 20 cameras at the same time. The young paladin felt a little dizzy at first, but after a few seconds of habitation, he carefully examined the information that the ghost spider had brought back for him, hoping to find some useful clues from the eyes of the little ones.

In the middle of the night, he glanced out a little from the field of view of one of the ghost spiders. The spider's gaze was close to the grassy dirt in one of the images in his mind's eye, and a series of sunken boot prints stretched forward in a sharp curve.

The outline of the footprints is still relatively clear.

It was as if someone had passed through the area not long ago.

And judging by the shape of the imprints, those footprints are divided into two types of soles, which seems to prove that what passed there not so long ago was not only humanoids. And it's two different people, and it looks like they're chasing each other from there.

Could half of those footprints be left by Arya?

He immediately guessed.

If Arya did pass through there, who was the person she found desperately chasing?

“…… Lilith. You wait for me. ”

Finn frowned, then stuck his iron sword upside down on the ground, and with his free hand he pulled out the map of the jungle that he had bought from an old hunter in Lumber Village, and then unfolded the old parchment in his hand.

His eyes were focused on the map of the jungle, and he soon found the approximate location of himself and Lilith, and then contacted the location of the ghost spider to estimate Arya's course of action.

In a trance, he used the current location of himself and the ghost spider as two points, and used his gaze to draw a dotted line on the old parchment in his hand that did not exist, and his mind suddenly exploded as if it had exploded.

If he's not mistaken, it's ...... Heading in the direction of the Loser's Basin?!

Suddenly, he lifted his gaze from the old parchment map in his hand, looked left and right, and could vaguely see a few flickering faint lights in the night around him.

It may be a firefly, but it's not the eyes of a nocturnal animal.

The faint flickering points of light in the darkness had been with him since he and Lilith had gone deep into the forest, and the young paladin tried to drive away the suspicious lights, but those faint dots of light seemed to understand the truth of the enemy's advance and retreat, which made him very uncomfortable, and he always felt like someone was hiding in the shadows to peep at him.

All in all, the night in this forest is probably far more than it seems.

For example, it's like when you stand on the shore and look down at the river, you can see the turbulent or calm water, but you don't actually know how deep the distance is from below the surface to the riverbed, and whether there is an undercurrent below you that you can't see.

In any case, he thought it better for him to move faster.

So he put away the old parchment map in his hand, thought about it in his mind, and then pulled out the iron sword that was stuck upside down on the ground and put it in his palm again, and beckoned to Lilith, "Let's go this way." ”

Then turn your head and continue to walk ahead and lead the way. (To be continued.) )
