However, when Alan learned how Zhao Li had brought down all the soldiers in the castle, he no longer had a trace of suspicion when he looked at Zhao Li.

And Zhao Li's dinner and sleeping problems were naturally solved in Lord Paine's castle, and there was a small episode in the middle - during dinner, a servant accidentally spilled a glass of water on Zhao Li's body, and the baron was furious on the spot and whipped the servant severely.

If it hadn't been for Zhao Li's timely stop, maybe this servant would have been killed on the spot, at least this servant had fallen into a coma when he was carried away by others.

In this regard, Zhao Li can also be regarded as having seen what a real temper is—in the entire lord's castle, everyone was trembling in the face of Lord Paine, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Even Alan, the only loyal knight under Lord Paine, did not dare to persuade Paine when he whipped the servant severely, so he could only turn his head unbearably.

In addition, there was nothing to say all night, and Zhao Li returned to the room to rest after eating a fairly hearty dinner.

······

Early the next morning.

When Zhao Li got up, a servant brought a washbasin and water for washing, and when Zhao Li walked out of the room after everything was ready, he found that the tyrannical lord Baron Paine and his loyal knight Alan had already prepared everything - a horse for Zhao Li.

After Zhao Li had eaten a few things, he rode on the horse that Lord Paine had prepared for him, and under the guidance of the knight Allen, he headed towards the town of Peel.

Along the way, the knights of Alan were at the forefront, and introduced Baron Paine and Zhao Li to the wooden house where the baroness and his daughter were kept.

The chalet was just south of the town of Peel, and it took about an hour to ride a horse deep into the forest, a half-forest, half-swampy area.

The wooden house was small, and it seemed that it could only accommodate a few people at most, but now, there were about ten people there, but because there were four human-faced demon birds hovering near the wooden house, Alan Knight did not dare to approach, so he could only hide from a distance and watch, and he could not see what those people were doing.

Zhao Li listened silently, and did not raise any doubts - as Alan led the way, the doubts in his heart were slowly being solved, and the direction they were heading, if there was no accident, was the cabin in the forest that Zhao Li had left at the beginning...

In fact, when the baron mentioned that the baby was missing, he had already guessed that there was a possibility, but...

Burton, I didn't expect that Burton, who was worried that he would not be able to complete the task assigned by the swamp witch, would be able to make such a big deal - several babies, and even kidnapped the lord's wife and daughter, which was beyond Zhao Li's expectations.

As for the Banshees... If it was really controlled by Boton, Zhao Li would not be too surprised, of course Boton did not have this ability, but if it was the swamp witch who made a move, it would not be strange.

As far as Franken can remember, he hadn't seen the two swamp witches fight, but it was certain that the two swamp witches were very strong - there is no doubt that Franken went to the swamp witch's cabin once when he decided to become a dark wizard.

It was the deepest part of the swamp, and Francon, under the leadership of Bolton, carefully avoided many terrible and evil beings in the swamp before reaching the swamp witch's residence.

What impressed Franconian was that right next to the swamp witch were many huge man-eating crocodiles, seven or eight meters long, and a whole group of man-eating crocodiles, all of whom were the witches' pets - in front of such a huge man-eating crocodile, even ghouls, it was just a joke.

And Zhao Li believes that this is by no means the support of witches to survive in the depths of the swamp - in the depths of the swamp, there is a far more powerful existence than the cannibal crocodile.

The only thing that made Zhao Li a little puzzled was, where did Bolton find a human helper?

However, the answer to this question will be answered soon.

···

Just like the route Zhao Li expected, the direction in which the Alan knight took Zhao Li and the lord was the edge of the swampy forest, which was a place that Zhao Li was familiar with.

After advancing for a while, the Alan knight reined in his horse and jumped down, and explained to the lord and Zhao Li apologetically: "Lord Baron, I'm sorry, we can only ride here, we have to walk through in front, this is a swampy forest, not suitable for riding a horse, and there are many water ghosts in the swamp, the sound of the horse is too loud, it is easy to attract these things..."

Needless to say, Zhao Li jumped off the horse directly, and the baron, who was also very neat, turned over from the horse, patted the shoulder of the knight Allen, and said kindly: "Don't feel sorry, let alone explain this to me, although I haven't experienced a battle for many years, don't forget that you were trained by me." ”

The Baron's attitude was so amiable now that it was almost like the tyrant who had nearly shaved his servant to death yesterday.

"Of course, my lord. ”

Knight Alan nodded respectfully in front of the baron, and took another step forward, taking the initiative to lead the way in front.

In the eyes of Knight Allen, the Baron is not just his loyalist, but even a bit of a father.

Alan has been with the Baron for as long as he can remember, and it was Baron Paine who raised him and taught him martial arts, until he became an adult, and canonized him as a knight, and he, Allen, everything, was given by the Baron.

Therefore, no matter how bad the Baron's temper is—many years have passed since Baron Paine was made a lord to the present day, and his drunken and violent temper have become worse and worse, and his original followers have become fewer and smaller, and they have fled from him.

Until only Allen, the last follower, remained, but the young knight Allen never had the idea of leaving Baron Paine.

And strange to say, Baron Paine, who has always been tyrannical and unprovoked and drunk, will have a much better attitude in the face of his own knight - at least much better than with other followers and servants.

Knight Alan led Zhao Li and Baron Paine deep into the swampy forest—Zhao Li was now almost certain to have done it by Bolton, and the road led to the cabin in the woods.

"Lord Baron, we must be careful next, move a little more lightly, the hut and the human-faced demon bird are not far ahead. If you don't mind—you're still here waiting for good news from me and this mercenary warrior, if we can't save Madame and—"

While persuading the lord to stay where he was, the knight of Alan pulled out the silver sword on his back - it is not surprising that the warriors of this world, if they want to enter the wilderness, carry two weapons at the same time, which is the most basic means of self-protection.
