The early summer of 1924 was hotter than the same period in previous years, and the clouds in the sky seemed to be playing hide and seek with everyone, and they didn't know where to hide, and they didn't show their faces for nearly a month.

The cicada crawled out of the dirt earlier, drinking and singing on the trunk, its monotonous song was disturbing to hear.

There was not a hint of wind in the mountains, and the slightly wilted leaves hung there motionless, looking like a photograph.

The slimes, who had lost weight one by one, smelled blood, and they came from all directions, and pounced on the bloodied human corpses.

Not far away, a sweaty Alan sat in the shade of a tree resting.

The mountain stream has bottomed out, and if it weren't for the heavier snow last winter than usual, and the rain in the spring, the mountain stream would have been completely cut off.

Alan under the tree looked slightly haggard on his face, and he was thinking about something as he looked at the mountains in the distance.

When Alan recovered from his injuries on Doghead Mountain and returned to Bischberg Kingdom by boat with Rog, he noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around him.

The Adventurers' Guild still showed great welcome to him, but it was only superficial, and he had long since lost the worship of young heroes that he had in the past.

Eren found an adventurer who had been rescued from the mouth of the beast, and the adventurer who had lost a leg was surprised to find Alan waiting for him at home when he returned home from work at the slime plastic bag factory.

The one-legged adventurer treats Alan to a meaty dinner, and then vaguely tells Alan to run.

Alan didn't take this warning to heart at first, but when he killed the culprit of the Onna City Beast Tide and made a public statement about it, his whereabouts were exposed, and he suddenly found that all kinds of sneak attacks and assassinations followed.

The attackers did not entangle with Allen, and quickly fled after missing the blow.

It is only today that Alan captures an assassin after setting up an ambush with Rog.

It's just that the assassin's confession is difficult for Allen to accept.

Rog flew over from the woods, holding in her hand a long rattan stick as thick as a ping-pong ball.

She handed the rattan to Alan and said, "I only found this, let's quench my thirst first." ”

"Thank you. Alan took the rattan and drew the dagger from his waist to cut it in the middle, then lifted the rattan with the help of Rog and drank the juice that flowed from the severance.

The sap of this rattan has a vegetal fragrance and a faint bitter taste, a toxin it evolved to prevent it from being eaten by insects.

This toxicity was not worth mentioning to Allen, who was a little more refreshed after rehydration.

Rog threw the rattan aside, then landed beside Allen, and said apologetically: "I really can't help with this weather, I'll introduce Skati to you after a while, she is the spirit of the Ice Spear, and she is the most comfortable in this weather." ”

Alan smiled and said, "It's winter in a while, and it's best to have you at that time." ”

Rog glanced at the corpse of the assassin crawling with slimes not far away, and asked, "Did you find out who sent him?"

At this time, Allen's face turned cold, and he said, "He said that he is from Prato City. ”

Rog asked, "Whose territory is that?"

Alan replied, "It's my sister Linda's territory. ”

"Huh?" asked Roger in surprise, "Didn't you say you had a good relationship with your sister, how could she be ......?"

"Could it be that someone is framing her?"

Alan didn't answer with a cold face.

Rog said there, "You said your three brothers were competing with you for the throne, could it be them?" ”

Alan thought for a moment and said, "They must have sent someone, but there is no way to frame Linda." ”

Rog asked again, "Could it be the McCaden family?"

"It could only be him. Alan said.

It's just that before he finished speaking, he immediately reached out and grabbed Luo Ge on the side, and then jumped out of the distance.

A few bare tree trunks flew from the top of the hill behind them, the ends of which were still spewing wind.

When the tree trunk was about to smash on the ground, the magic array above suddenly activated, and countless wind blades instantly swept away the place where Alan and the others were just now.

The surrounding trees, dirt, and stones were chopped into the air by the wind blade, and even the slimes that were eating were split into several pieces.

When the dust settled, Eren jumped out of a dirt pit.

He was covered in mud, and a cut was made in his back clothes, revealing a bruise on his back that quickly disappeared as fast as the naked eye could see.

A burst of red starlight converged around Allen, and then formed Rog.

Several arrows came from the bushes under the trees not far away, and Alan swung his long sword and knocked one away, finding that this was an arrow with great power, and it was a crossbow arrow used to capture a large demonic beast.

At this time, several tree trunks on another hill flew towards this direction.

Several flaming arrows flew out of nearby trees and struck the trunks of the trees flying from the sky, causing them to explode in the sky.

Seeing this, those who shot the crossbow arrows immediately turned and fled, and Allen saw one chasing after him, only to crash headlong into an ambush circle.

Alan accidentally stepped on a trap, only to hear a chaotic sound in the bushes around him, and he didn't know how many javelins and stones had been cut out of wood and attacked him.

I saw that Eren had a flame sword in one hand and his own long sword in the other, and the two swords flew like the wings of a hummingbird, knocking down these rough things one by one.

All of a sudden, the attackers had fled without a trace.

Soon after, Rog flew over, and she said, "Those at the top of the mountain have fled. ”

Alan said with a calm face: "Those crossbow arrows are for the army, this trap is the style of bandits, and the ones that fly down from the sky can't tell where they come from." ”

Rog thought for a moment and said, "It's very similar to the style of 'Heart of the Wind' Neelde, but the two sisters of 'Heart of the Wind' and 'Water World' were broken more than three hundred years ago, and I am afraid that they will never be restored. ”

Then Rog said solemnly: "This is not the way to go, you have to get rid of these troublesome enemies." ”

Alan looked to the north and said, "Let's go directly to Seven Hills City, I don't believe they dare to attack me in Seven Hills City." ”

Rog said, "Then let's go, I'll go wherever you go." ”

Over the next few days, Eren shook off the trackers in the mountains, and then took a shortcut back to Seven Hills City through the mountain trail.

The sky that had been exposed for many days finally began to rain, and at noon on the day Allen entered the city, lightning and thunder thundered in the dark clouds in the sky, and soon after, the raindrops the size of soybeans "crackled" and fell to the ground.

The ubiquitous assassinations and attacks came to an abrupt end the moment Alan walked into Qiqiu City, and the behind-the-scenes manipulators were not stupid, playing "someone pretending to be His Highness Allen", and then throwing those cases that didn't catch the prisoner on his head and then using this as an excuse to assassinate that set is one thing, and running to the royal capital to assassinate the prince is another, that's a rebellion.

Allen, who entered the city, did not reveal his identity, and he entered the city as an adventurer and walked straight in the direction of the palace.

It's just that he didn't go far when a carriage stopped beside him.

A flash of lightning struck, and Alan saw the coat of arms on the carriage by the light of the lightning, but he had never seen this coat of arms, and he thought for a while that no one in the family had a sheep's coat of arms.
