"See, that man just left the city and headed west!"

Lin Ke couldn't help but speed up his pace, but there were too many people entering and leaving the gate of Dragon Slayer Castle, especially some large transport convoys, and the continuous journey made his pursuit not very smooth. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Don't be in a hurry, master, once he enters the forest area, he won't be able to get away with our tracking," Dracula reassured, in fact he still hoped to wait until he joined Neil Adam and the others before acting, but Linko couldn't wait.

"Dracula, otherwise you will chase after you from the air first, and I will look for you after I leave the city," Lin Ke was indeed slightly anxious.

"No," Dracula said for the first time in his life, refusing Linko's request, "if that person is just a decoy and the real killer is waiting for me to get away from you somewhere, then I'm really going to chase that person." ”

Lin Ke was stunned, his anxious mood calmed down a little, and he let out a long breath and said, "Yes, he will definitely not be able to run away within this Dragon Slayer Castle." ”

"Yes, don't worry, master, he will ...... Huh?!" Dracula suddenly turned to somewhere in the crowd, "It can't be...... How could it be ......"

Linko asked, "What is impossible?" He followed Dracula's line of sight, only to see a petite figure shrouded in dirty gray-black robes being carried forward by the crowd of people, looking a little weak and helpless, "Met an acquaintance?"

Dracula shook his head and said in a voice that only Linko could hear, "She has a very strong smell of dark creatures, but not like any other type I know...... There's a good chance she's a ...... I've never met before Witch!"

Lin Ke was shocked, and then unconsciously avoided in the direction of the petite figure.

Oh my God, witch?!

The mysterious characters who spend their days dealing with all sorts of strange magic potions? Legend has it that the deadliest poison is hidden in every part of their bodies, and touching their skin will infect them with a terrible plague, witches?!

Damn, why did this kind of character come to Dragon Slayer?

Lin Ke cursed in his heart while carefully bypassing the crowd area where the witch was, finding Mario was the most important thing at the moment, as for the witch or something...... Dragon Slayer Fort is so natural, someone will take care of it, right?

God knows if a medium-sized plague breaks out in such a military town, will the dragons rush into the hinterland of the empire at once!

"Dracula, it's important to get down to business, damn it, don't look over there anymore," Lin Ke, a legendary special profession like a witch, has always had a respectful attitude, and if he can't understand enough, he will never be an enemy, this is one of his principles of life, "We'll go to the mountains to the west as soon as we get out of the city gate, can your bat nose find us a trace of that person?"

Dracula said, "It should be...... Okay......"

A man and a bat hurried out of the city gate.

None of them saw the existence they identified as witches, glanced back at their backs, frowned suspiciously, and then shook their heads and continued to "go with the flow".

Then, she was "sent" by the crowd to a shop selling weapons and equipment, "Excuse me, this is Dragon Slayer Fort, right?"

The shopkeeper's gaze swept up and down over her, and he let out an "um".

"Then may I ask you, do you know a man named Cohen?" the girl's mainland lingua franca spoke in a strange way, with some accent unique to other regions.

The guy waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go and go, there are many people who call Cohen, do you buy equipment or not, don't stand in front of the door if you don't buy it!"

The girl let out an "oh" and gave way, and after scratching her pale green nails on her forehead, she said to herself helplessly, "If there are a lot of people with this name, it won't be easy to find......"

――――――――――――――――――――

Mario stopped.

With his hands on his knees, he breathed heavily, rushing from Dragon Slayer Castle to here in one breath, even with his current strength, he was a little reluctant, wiped the sweat on his forehead and calmed his breath before he cautiously continued to move forward.

The mountain road was rough or there was no recognizable road here, but he seemed to be very familiar, and he made his way slowly and quietly among the trees.

Finally, he climbed a huge rock, and from here, he could see the vast scenery of the nearby mountains and forests, and he turned his head to look at the road where he had come and laughed, and then turned back and shouted at the vast mountain forest!

"Ah~!!"

The birds flew and the beasts froze.

All the beings in this mountain forest couldn't help but look in the direction where the sound came from, including Linko and Dracula.

"There!" Lin Ke frowned deeply, "I haven't heard Adam say that this man will roar in the mountains and forests when he followed him before......"

"Could it be a trap?" Dracula suddenly looked around warily, "Neil, haven't they arrived yet?"

Lin Ke shook his head, "They're still at the city gate, and it will take some time to get here." ”

"Shall we ...... Wait?" Dracula asked, "that guy isn't that far from where we are, and he shouldn't be able to run far on his feet." ”

"No, this mountainous area is too big, if he finds a hidden place to hide, we will be difficult to find," Lin Ke pursed his lips and walked in the direction where the voice came.

"Master, aren't we really going to wait, I'm worried that if I can't take care of you if it's just me......" Dracula was a little worried, after all, they were tracking down a character who was not simple.

Lin Ke shook his head solemnly.

It didn't take them long for them to come to the big rock where Mario had been standing and roaring.

"The voice should be coming from this direction," Rinko wondered, "Dracula, can you sense where he's going?"

Dracula closed his eyes and shrugged his nose, "There," he said with some confusion, "maybe his physical exertion is too great, he didn't go very far, master, I feel that this is a trap, and he may be tempting us to catch up." ”

"And then, why did he wipe us out?" asked Linko.

Dracula paused, "Maybe he really gained some great opportunity in this short year?"

"If it's really so easy to be bumped into by chance in this world, then lucky people shouldn't just be so much on the surface," Lin Ke frowned, "Mario, no matter what kind of thing you encounter, I have to see with my own eyes and see what you can do to me?!"

Along the way, Linko and Dracula are presented with a cliff of despair.

The cliffs were covered with earth-gray shrubs, tangled and intertwined to cover the entire cliff top, and there seemed to be no place to stay, and the back that made Lin Ke feel somewhat familiar was standing with his back to them at the junction of the mountain woods and the cliff-top bushes.

"Cohen, you're really here," Mario's voice trembled in excess.
