Crossing the Unfrozen River, Nanxing and Evans continue deeper into the Warcraft Forest.

Nanxing left Hank and Doragu in the Silver Lightning Mercenary Regiment, and asked Captain Azio to bring them back to Shining Gold.

The reason is also very simple, the deeper you go, the more dangerous it becomes, Nanxing feels that with her own strength, it is still okay to get out with Evans, but if there are a few more people, she will have no choice.

So I persuaded everyone else to go back.

At the same time, Captain Azio told everything he knew about the Fishman, and Nanxing planned to take Evans to see if he could catch the Fishman.

After three days of walking, Nanxing and Evans found a corpse in the snow.

It was said that when they were preparing to set up camp, they found the corpse with blue and purple skin under the snowdrift.

It seems that wearing this corpse should have been a warrior in his life, and his leather armor is very fine, and it should be from a famous shop.

This warrior was pierced in the chest by a sharp weapon, and this sharp weapon should still have energy such as fighting qi attached to it, his wounds were blown open, and the whole look was very miserable.

Nanxing poked the man's wound with a branch, and could see that although the blood inside had begun to turn black, it was not completely black, and it seemed that he had only been dead for a few days.

Evans was a little frightened when he saw the corpse, and couldn't help but lean closer to Nanxing, "Teacher, this can't be done by a demonic beast, right?" ”

"No, the monster doesn't bury people, unless it's to store food, but there are obviously no monster caves around here, he should have been killed."

"Huh?" Evans' mouth widened.

"It's too normal for a dead person in this kind of place, if we weren't in the team before, and Hank's team brought a lot of prey, I don't think Captain Azio would mind making a windfall."

This was even more astonishing to Evans, who had always thought that Captain Azio was a good man.

Nanxing rubbed the top of Evans' head, "So in this kind of place, don't trust anyone easily, and be vigilant at all times." You already have an advantage over many warriors, after all, mages are naturally sensible. ”

Nanxing used a small whirlwind to cover the surrounding snow on the corpse again, since everyone is dead, it is not a corpse wilderness to have a tomb.

On the way afterward, Nanxing and Evans found several corpses one after another, and when he saw the body of one of the bearded men, Evans jumped.

"This ...... This is Amhead."

Amhead is a great swordsman of the empire, and he has been famous for a long time, but according to the lifespan of people on this continent, he should have just passed his peak now, but even if the strength of such a great swordsman is there, it can only be said that his physical fitness has declined slightly.

At this time, this great swordsman was wearing metal armor, and in such a cold and snowy place, he was either sick in the brain or strong, otherwise no one would choose to wear armor.

This one is clearly the latter.

Moreover, Amhead's corpse was obviously a little different from the appearance of other corpses, the person who killed him did not open any holes in his body, and even his body looked very clean, and his movements were also folded in front of him.

Placing your hands on your chest is the burial ritual of the Solent Empire. It seems that someone helped him tidy up his appearance after his death, and it seems that he also knew this great swordsman.

Nanxing used a small whirlwind to cover the surrounding snow on the corpse as usual, but as soon as the spell was released, after the whirlwind dissipated, the sharp-eyed Nanxing saw a booklet next to the corpse,

It looks like it fell to the ground during the fight, and then it was covered in snow.

Evans went to pick up the quiz and saw that Amhead's name was on it, and it looked like it was a notepad.

"Open it and see, maybe we'll know what's going on."

The notepad is only the size of a palm, and there are only a few things recorded on it, but these scattered contents reveal an earth-shattering thing.

……

Amhead and several other Imperial Great Swordsmen are among the best in the cultivation of the Imperial Sanctuary.

The Imperial Templar is somewhat similar to a guard that belongs exclusively to the king, and all the warriors who are trained in the templar are orphans from all over the world, and they are gathered together and selected at various levels, and those who are qualified will be trained as warriors and loyal to the king from an early age.

These people do not have names until they are twenty years old, and when they are twenty years old, they are personally selected by the king and given names. And this person automatically becomes the captain of this group, and the others are his teammates.

Their external position is the King's Guard.

There will be three guards at the same time, so the captain will also have three.

Two months earlier, Amhead and two other captains had received orders from the king to hunt down a traitor who had betrayed the king's loyalty.

In addition to the three captains, they were also assigned thirty members.

Each captain has the strength of a great swordsman, and the worst member of the team is also a high-level warrior. Such a team would have no problem even killing the king of a small country.

What was the betrayal of the king that led to such an order?

Unfortunately, there was no record on Amhead's notepad, and for the next few days he kept a daily record of how many people had died, what the enemy was like, and how long it would take to catch up with him.

Judging from the contents of the notepad, the Imperial Guard of thirty people has all died at the hands of the enemy, and the enemy should have been injured a lot.

"Teacher, now there is a murderer in the woods, and he is also a traitor to the Empire, what if we run into him?" Evans was really scared at this point.

Nanxing's expression was quite relaxed. "Your father has not received any information about this, which means that the king did not want the king to know about this man's defection, and that he is now seriously wounded, and I don't think he will attack us."

There was another sentence in Nanxing's heart, she didn't say it, although she was only a magister, relative to the rank, it only corresponded to the level of the swordsman, but she knew that she didn't need to be too long away from breaking through the great magister, and she could still deal with an injured great swordsman.

……

After looking at the notepad, Nanxing and Evans continued on their way.

When he was separated from Azio, he gave Nanxing a roll of parchment to draw a map, which he said he had drawn himself, and of course much of what had happened after crossing the Frozen River had been drawn by him based on information he had gathered from others.

He didn't know whether this information was right or wrong, and he just wanted to befriend a magister at this time.

Nanxing didn't refuse, and the map showed a rift in the distance, and the rest of the place was blank.

After a little thought, Nanxing decided to go to this rift, after all, someone had been there before, and no one knew what was in those empty places.

The snow here is thicker, and in some places you can already touch your waist, and Nanxing and Evans all rely on light body techniques to move forward on the snow.

And along the way, the two have also encountered several attacks by demonic beasts.

Every time the monster came, Nanxing would let Evans strike first, and only when Evans couldn't stand it or was in danger, Nanxing would use one or two spells.
