Slowly, the moon was slowly shrouded in a layer of mist, and the old house slowly hid in a haze of smoke and cold air, and it was still very early, and the streets were very quiet.

A man walked out of the mist, and on closer inspection, it was Mr. Augustus. He walked up to Luna and helped her to her knees, and Alice took a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Luna, wiping tears from her eyes.

Then they walked up to William, Augustus looked at Luna and sighed slightly, "You killed two people from that robbery to the night of the attack, I want to ask you, what does that feel like, Luna?" ”

"I'm just trying to protect some people from harm." Luna said.

"That might be your only option, Luna." He nodded, "I think you're doing the right thing, don't think about anything else, don't think about it for a moment." Even if this is the only option, it does not change the fact that killing people is not a trivial matter. This is true for anyone, not for your father. Not for me, for a young girl like you, killing people is no small thing. ”

"I'm not sad about what I've done." "Because that's all I can do." ”

"Did you think about it later?"

Luna shook her head, "I thought it was only my father, my mother, Mira, and Cavrin. ”

"And Alice and William......," Augustus added.

"Yes, yes."

They were silent for a moment, and when Augustus spoke again, his voice became flat and serious. "We need to find your mother, Luna." He said.

Luna was silent.

"I'm going to take a trip to Atlante, where I have some old friends." Augustus sighed deeply, and continued, "We have too few allies here. ”

"Why?" Luna asked, "Isn't it enough for me, Alice, Bertha, Carvline, Lucius, and Huang Xiu?" ”

"Luna, you should know about the Overseers, right?"

"Yes." Luna replied.

"Very well, the latest ......information," said Augustus, "that your mother was captured by the Overseers, and perhaps this will implicate your father's death." ”

"How do you know that, sir?"

"I'll be honest with you, I was a member of an influential and important organization, and I was involved in the Overseer's game of scavengers." Augustus began to pace back and forth, raising his head and looking through those dark blue eyes, as if he could see William at that time, "It is a club, or a society, one of the many advantages of the members of the organization, we have eyes and ears everywhere. ”

"What's the name of that organization, sir?" Luna asked.

"Crusader's Blade."

"Crusaders?" Luna asked, looking at him with the same keen eyes.

Augustus smirked, "It's probably not exactly the crusaders you imagined, Luna, it's not an old antique of human civilization, it's just an invisible force that maintains peace and order in this era." ”

Luna nodded, "Then there is such a powerful organization, why do you have to move the rescuers?" ”

"Looks like you don't really know the Overseers yet, Luna." Augustus smiled and said, "Later, Luna, I'll tell you more later." ”

"So, is Father also a member of yours? Is he also a crusader? Luna excitedly asked, "Did you train me to make me a crusader?" ”

"No, Luna, he's not." William, who was idle on the side, added softly, "I don't know what your father trained you for, and I don't know what he wants to inherit. He leaned down and grabbed Luna's shoulders with both hands, and said, "I think his most basic purpose in training you is probably to hope that you can live well in this world and protect yourself, maybe he has expected that one day you will learn to be independent......"

Luna was silent, her head bowed, her eyes glancing at the saber at her waist.

They understood Luna's thoughts, so they didn't say any more, and after a while, Augustus tapped Luna on the shoulder. Then he turned to Caflin and said, "I'm going to Atlante for a while, and I'll leave the rest to you." ”

"Got it!"

Augustus turned his head to look at Luna, "So, Luna, I'll go first." After speaking, he greeted Huang Xiu on the side, and then they turned to leave.

Luna was about to look up at them, but they had already disappeared into the thickening mist.

Cavlyn stepped forward and said, "It's time for us to get out of here, too." ”

Cavlyn led the others out of the alley, where a carriage was waiting for them, and when they entered, it was still empty. At this point, they figured out the question: how did Cavlyn get here?

However, another question arises: if it is an empty carriage, is there a master who drives a rickshaw among them?

At this moment, Alice on the side spoke, "You guys get on the handlebar first." With that, Bertha on the side gestured to Luna and the others for a welcome salute and motioned for them to get into the car.

"Alice, shall we sit next to you?" Luna pointed to the rear compartment and continued, "The compartment can only accommodate four people. ”

Alice nodded, and Bertha opened the door to the back of the carriage, and after Cavlyn and the others were seated, Luna and Alice stepped into the driver's seat at the front of the carriage.

As a coachman, Alice's equestrian skills were very skillful: she never used a whip, she rarely even touched the reins, she only sat in the cab, raised her legs, blew a whistle, and the carriage moved.

Although her equestrian skills are very good, Luna on the side prefers the scenery on the road. The carriage soon crossed the residential area, and the winter was thickening, and the edges of the fields on both sides of the road were icy and glistening in the night mist.

It seems that this year will be another cold winter, the season of Whartont, which is a little confusing, and sometimes it can even make you spend four seasons in a week.

"Where are we going?" Luna asked.

Alice was silent, and she only cared about driving the carriage.

At this moment, Bertha, who was standing on the carriage floor, spoke, "This Kavlin is still arranging. ”

Luna watched her with some surprise, and Bertha smiled at her, then patted her gloved hands and sat up on the roof of the car, the heat of her exhalation being noticeable around her upturned collar, "I know something, though." A voice as sweet as spring water came from the inside of her throat, "We're going to Lord Pancuton now." She pointed to the front of the road, "Also, we have to protect ourselves during the time that William is away, and as I am sure you know, we are in a very dangerous situation, and we have to prevent the surprise attack and assassination of our team, and on the other hand, we must prevent the mutant creatures in that place." As she spoke, Bertha pointed to the sewer beside her.

"Mutants?" Luna asked.

"Yes, that's right." Bertha nodded, "The official story includes black monsters, leather monsters, pigs in the sewers, and ......," she paused, "and the robbers of the Wharton slums." ”

"Do other teams know where we are now?"

"They just haven't found us for a while." Bertha replied, "They show up when tasks conflict with tasks. ”

"And what is the purpose of our trip?" Luna asked, "Pretending to be a hero to rescue Mr. Robert?" ”

"It's not all ......," Bertha's tone calmed down a little, it wasn't like her style, she swallowed her saliva and said the next sentence, "We don't know if we can save Mr. Robert, but we also hope to help us in consultation with Lord Pancotton." ”

Several people fell into an awkward silence again. Luna turned her head to the side again, admiring the winter scenery.

"I don't know if Vares has been notified." Bertha grunted.

"It should have been announced." Alice, who had not spoken for a long time, finally spoke, "Unless that Varess is our hostile force. ”

"Not necessarily?" Bertha spread her hands and gestured, "We are not sure if the missions will conflict, what if the other party's mission is to kill Vares and seize the information?" ”

Bertha's words silenced several people.

"Of course, I'm just joking." Bertha added, then stuck out her tongue.

"Forget it, I'll sleep first." Luna yawned, "Call me when it's time." ”

"Don't sleep, we're here," Bertha said when a jolt interrupted Luna's sleep, and when she came back to her senses, Alice stopped the carriage and pointed to it.

As she pointed, they found that the door of the car had been opened, Luna and Alice had stepped out of the cab, and Bertha had jumped off the roof with agility.

Categorine stepped out of the carriage, her head drooping, her face a little solemn, what had happened.

Just as they were about to ask, Cavlyn spoke.

Sure enough, the nightmare came......
