Two of Millai's transports were parked on the side of the road leading to the capital city of Yago, and a group of men were resting in front of several campfires, all dressed in black full-body armor with silver trim, which was only available to the royal guards of Yago, the capital of Milley. Not far from them, five men sat around a smaller campfire, all wearing the same badge on their chests—a round white jade set on a similarly shaped, but slightly larger, green metal base, white representing the "full moon", the highest symbol of strength in the White Night Guard.

"I've heard from people in Baihui's union that the White Night Area has recently completely covered Ai Chennai and the trade routes leading to the surrounding area, and that there have been unknown attacks on that side, and some caravans have been wiped out when they are discovered, but there is no trace of a battle on the scene, and everyone seems to have been killed before they reacted. The young man looked at the dark woodland behind him, then folded the blanket on the ground and put it in his backpack.

The burly middle-aged man sitting next to the young man laughed: "If this is the case, I hope you can be more self-conscious." After saying that, he took out a small disc from his bosom and looked at it according to the firelight, there was a ring structure embedded in the middle of the disc, and slowly turned clockwise on it, and made a slight "click" sound, put away the disc, he turned his head and continued to the young man: "You have been snoring every night these days, and we are really lucky to be alive, if you are attacked, I must ensure that you die first, and then invite trouble." The young man glanced at the middle-aged man, and when he had finished sitting down again, he looked around at the unlit woodland, which was quiet except for the crackling of dead branches burning in the fire.

"When did you hear the news?" asked the man sitting across from them who had been looking at the map.

"Hmm~ I don't know, I just heard the person next to me discussing this. Do you have family over there?"

"No, but according to the map provided by the night owl...... We are now in the realm of Egena but I don't see the guiding light, and if you're telling the truth, we'll probably all be in the company of darkness until Egena. ”

The guiding light is a lighting method provided by Atra to Millai, the magic circle that can absorb the moonlight is engraved in smaller crystal blocks, and the Millai people make special metal pillars to hang these crystals high and place them on both sides of the road, when the sun rises and the forest loses light, it will automatically release the absorbed moonlight to illuminate the road, because the light is not dazzling, so people can also judge where the road leads under their feet according to the instructions on the guide lamp post.

The middle-aged man looked at a few people around him, "I just looked at the watch, it should be noon now, it seems that we are indeed in the White Night Forest." Regardless of whether the rumors are really in the White Night Forest or not, you must be vigilant......" Before the words were finished, there was some noise from behind them, and several people followed the voice, it turned out that those soldiers were talking and laughing loudly while eating at this time. The young man who had been looking at the map before snorted and lowered his head to continue studying the map, and the others looked back at each other and shook their heads with a smile.

"What are you talking about, would you like to come and sit together?" said a man who came and sat down in the crowd.

"Don't kid, Captain, how could they like to sit with us sinners. The middle-aged man smiled and waved at him.

"Ayton, we've known each other for so long, and while a lot of people do, at least I don't have that idea. The person who came said and put the two bottles in front of him: "This is Bai Hui's famous wine, probably one of the few sunshine products in all the cities in the forest, and the city lord gave it before leaving, let's try it together." As soon as he finished speaking, he had opened a bottle and held it in his hand, and pointed the mouth of the bottle towards the crowd, which was a very friendly invitation among the former forest seekers.

"Cut~ I also said earlier that we should come over and sit down, but the wine has been brought here, and you are really becoming more and more hypocritical after becoming an official. The middle-aged man known as Ayton teased at the approacher. The person who came was stunned for a moment, and just about to say something, Ayton suddenly laughed and patted him on the back: "Just kidding, Karn, if I hadn't seen that the client was you, I wouldn't have taken this task, I didn't think that you would be a commander in the Central Army now." As he spoke, Ayton took out the cup and grabbed the bottleneck to take it, then held the bottleneck and took the bottle from Karn's hand and handed it to the person next to him, this act was to accept the invitation.

Karn took a sip of his wine and secretly praised the delicacy before saying to Ayton, "I haven't had a chance to talk to you before, so I only read the names on the list that the lieutenant gave me, so can you introduce me to your teammates?"

"No problem!" Ayton took a sip of the wine, his eyes lit up, and then he threw his head back and drank the whole glass of wine. He pointed to the side and took a sip of wine, put down the glass, took out a piece of jerky from his backpack and continued to eat and drink, and said, "Mir Lessing, he often partners with me to complete tasks, and he is very strong, and he can defeat an adult tooth-breaker alone. ”

"Just call me Mir, in fact, I'm mainly responsible for preserving the property, and this stupid big guy may have his clothes stolen when he sleeps. The young man reached over and shook Karn's hand.

Ayton gave Mir a blank look, then pointed to a man and a woman next to Mir and said, "These two are ......"

Before Ayton could finish speaking, the man put down the cup in his hand and nodded to Karn, "Hello Captain Karn, just call me Kakru, this is my wife Yiwen, we are scholars who study the beasts of the White Night Forest, and we are also experts in dealing with them. ”

"Hello. The woman named Ewen smiled and nodded at Karn.

"You're from Atlah?" Karn noticed Evin's eyes.

"Yes. Ewen smiled and nodded.

"The Emperor is on top! I had the privilege of meeting one of Atlah's White Night Guards!" Karn marveled.

"They had just finished their investigation in the White Radiance North Forest and were about to go to Yago, who also happened to be the White Night Guards at the full moon level, so I invited them to come along. Ayton added. Finally, he pointed to the young man who poured a glass of wine but put it aside and didn't drink it, and still looked down at the map in front of him and said, "He is ......."

"Moonlight Tree Ornament, are you from Twilight Village?" Karn, who had been drinking and listening to Ayton's introduction, suddenly pointed to the young man, who was still carefully examining the map by the firelight, and when he heard this, he looked up, Karn was staring at him with wide eyes, and the firelight shone on the bearded face like a money robber.

"It's not surprising that the guards from the village in the forest have moonlight trees on their armor. The young man put down the map and said as he pulled up the blanket that had slipped to the side and put it back on his body.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he heard this answer, he stood up and walked around the campfire to the young man and sat down, stretched out his hand to him and said in a much lower voice than just now, "My name is Karn Rex, Major of the Royal Guard, and the leader of this escort mission. "Unlike chatting with others just now, this time the tone is very formal.

The young man looked at Rex's outstretched hand, sighed and reached out to shake his hand and whispered, "Tumik, I didn't expect that the union's mission would meet Yago's Praetorian Guard, but how did you know?"

Karn was about to say something when he noticed that the others at the campfire had apparently looked over to their unusual conversation. Karn looked at Tumik, who nodded, and continued, "Only the armor of the people of Twilight Village would glow faintly white in the dark night, and legend has it that it was the product of merging with the Moonlight Tree. Karn smiled and tapped his right shoulder with his hand, and continued, "It's impressive that the village of Twilight once presented an impressive piece of armor carved with royal crests in this technique. After the cataclysm, the Emperor sent an army to find the survivors of Dusk Village, but the strange beasts that had never been seen in the depths of the White Night Forest made the army suffer heavy casualties and could not continue to go deeper, and no one has ever seen this technique again."

"Yes, I am indeed from the village of Twilight, and on the day of the catastrophe I happened to have gone to Omartin for personal reasons, so I escaped. Tumik put away his map, took a sip of his wine, and continued, "I've tried to find anyone who has escaped from Twilight, but now I can only look at this armor and remember the past. Tumik finished and looked at Karn carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and looked past Karn to the two transports surrounded by soldiers not far away, and then returned to Karn and asked, "Actually, I have been looking at the map very strangely for the past two days, and it is not enough to dispatch the royal guards, so I have to hire as many as five full moon-level White Night Guards to forcibly pass through the White Night Zone, which has not even been certified by the Night Owl...... Captain, what exactly are we escorting?"

The Foresters were mostly shipwrecked and had long been unconcerned about each other's pasts, so it was clear that his question was more interesting than Tumik's background, but Karn only took a sip of his wine and did not answer.
