The afterglow of dusk hits the leaves.

A middle-aged silent man with an ordinary appearance and ordinary dress, holding the cross sword at his waist all the time in his right hand, walked on the path of the gray mist forest with an expressionless face.

Behind him were a group of dirty children.

Seeing that there were about twenty of them, his face was a little confused, and he was not too panicked because he was gnawing on black bread in his hand.

To the left, right, and behind the children, there were several armed adults guarding them.

Although they are all dressed in ordinary clothes, like wandering knights or adventurers everywhere on the mainland, their capable movements and alert demeanor faintly reveal that they are not simple.

Yes, these people are not adventurers or mercenaries, but really well-trained elite soldiers from the army of the kingdom of Desia.

The man at the head is a confidant of King Longbottom, and he is very trusted.

His name is Eddie, he was born as a slave and has no surname.

They had come to deliver food to the witches hiding in the Grey Mist Forest—the children.

Of course, the true purpose of this operation was known only to Eddie, and the rest of the soldiers were unaware.

Suddenly, an ethereal birdsong rang in their ears.

The children were all surprised, whispering, looking around, looking for the owner of the voice.

When a few well-trained soldiers heard this, their eyes also flashed with curiosity, but when they saw the children's team falling into a noisy and chaotic situation, they frowned and shouted loudly.

The children were so frightened that they immediately booed and did not dare to speak.

Add then turned his head and glanced indifferently at the child and the other soldiers before turning back.

I saw a snow-white bird that appeared not far in front of him at some point, standing quietly on a tree trunk, with smart eyes and a human-like gaze, looking at them.

Add was looking at it, too.

Snowbird, beautiful in appearance, hides the power to seduce people, a good helper of witches.

It's not the first time Eddie has met it, but every time they meet, it's not a pleasant memory.

The children and soldiers in the back had a look of fascination in their eyes, their minds were paralyzed, and they stared blankly at the snowbirds.

There was a smug smile in the snowbird's eyes, yes, Eddie made sure he saw the snowbird's eyes, and then it flew up in an extremely graceful posture, flying in some kind of arc.

Children and soldiers can't help but follow the snowbirds as they navigate through the gray mist forest.

Add touched the palm of his left hand, where King Longbottom had given him the strength to save him from the temptation of the snowbird.

He watched as children and soldiers passed by him, and he himself, from the lead, silently walked to the rear.

The scenery on both sides is rapidly darkening.

Night in the forest came earlier than outside.

In the darkness, a small path suddenly appeared in front of them.

A tantalizing scent of candy appeared ahead.

The children and soldiers alike came to their senses and looked up to see a gourmet hut made of sweets at the end of the trail.

The snowbird has rested on a thorny branch.

The rest of them looked suspicious, the children didn't think too much, their eyes flashed with hunger and thirst when they saw so many delicacies, and the soldiers were much more alert, and a strange hut suddenly appeared in the gray mist forest, no matter how you look at it, it is not a normal thing to happen.

They began to seek the decision of the chief.

Looking ahead, Add was no longer in the lead.

Looking around, they realized that their chief, Add, was standing at the rear, with a calm expression.

Seeing Eddie's appearance, the soldier's heart calmed down a lot, and he looked up and was about to walk over to report, but as soon as he took a step, he stopped, and looked at Eddie's location in horror.

Eddie was a little surprised, the reaction of the previous soldiers was what he expected, and the previous batches of soldiers were like this.

But how can you look at him with surprise and fear?

He looked closely at the soldier, and realized that the soldier's gaze was not looking at him, but at the position behind him.

Eddie's heart trembled, and at the same time as he turned around, the cross sword was already drawn, and it was a powerful horizontal slash towards that position.

"Ahh Screams rang out.

Eddie's heart was sure enough, and the strength in his hand was a little stronger, but immediately, Eddie felt a huge force that could not be shaken from the position of the tip of the sword.

The sword in Eddie's hand couldn't be cut down.

Only then did he see clearly that it was a strange man in a black cloak who was holding his long sword with his fingers.

Next to him was a handsome man with an aristocratic temperament.

At this time, he was covering his mouth with his hand, and it was obvious that the exclamation just now came from his mouth.

"Finally waiting for you, fortunately I didn't give up." The strange man said in an almost aria tone, with a hint of joy in his eyes.

I saw him say to himself, "I didn't expect that the candy hut is actually an independent half-plane place, and if you usually disconnect from it, you won't be in this world at all." No wonder I searched for so long and didn't find it! ”

"It's no wonder why the Candy Huts have been evading the hunt of the Holy See for so many years?"

"This half-plane is really a good thing, the most important thing is that it can also meet the living conditions of people, that is to say, it can live in people, and the output of the land is also very abundant, but it's a pity that the place is a little smaller."

William had now stepped into the land of the Candy Hut.

The Magic Mirror had swept across the entire Candy Lodge and reported everything to William.

The so-called invitation to God is easy and difficult to send God.

William couldn't find it before, but now that the old witch has taken the initiative to open the passage to welcome this batch of "delicious food", then don't think about sending William away so easily.

To the old witch, William was a "plague god"!

Especially the Magic Mirror found a lot of children's bones under this land, which made him even more murderous in his eyes.

The kingdoms of Desia and Louis, as well as the Duchy of Salzburg, are all very similar in tone.

So what William said, Eddie could understand, and if he didn't understand it, he could guess it.

But that's it, and the uneasiness in his heart becomes even stronger.

"Do you know who you're up against? The noble and powerful king of the kingdom of Thesia, the envoy of the king of Longbottom, you will ......" Before Eddie's threatening words could be finished, William disliked his noise, snatched the long sword, and broke it into several pieces of iron.

Eddie's words suddenly became speechless.

He knew in his heart that threats were useless to the mysterious man in front of him!

He wittily stepped back, looked at the soldiers who were surrounding him, and directly ordered, "Go up together and arrest him." ”
