Minna drove a horse-drawn carriage, disguised as a village girl delivering goods, speaking in the accented Normonka slum dialect (a fur she learned as she passed through the slums), and walked brightly along the avenue in a southeasterly direction.

I thought I was going to take an adventure at the city gate, but Jada helped her instead, and the soldiers didn't notice that the description of her appearance on the pass was not exactly the same as hers—it was something she stole from a rich fat woman on the way. The hair and eyes are the same, but she is not fat.

It was getting dark, and soon it was evening. Minna had reached the foot of the mountain range east of Normonka, and planned to find a secluded place to spend the night after the previous level. She heard the sound of horses' hooves galloping behind her, and shouted for the carriage ahead to avoid. She hurried her horse to the side, and saw a group of soldiers galloping past, running towards the checkpoint not far ahead.

She kept an eye on the car and slowed down to see what they wanted to do.

One of the soldiers in the group who looked like a captain took out a piece of paper and said loudly to the soldiers at the checkpoint: "The latest order of the royal palace is that anyone who passes through the checkpoint must carefully check the pass, and once anyone who meets the characteristics on this wanted notice is found, he will be forcibly detained immediately and returned to the palace!" With that, he handed the paper to the guards.

Minna secretly screamed that it was not good, her pass, if you look closely, it is easy to see the flaws, usually these soldiers stationed at the hinterland checkpoint are not serious about their work, so she has the confidence to mix it up, but now she can't.

She whipped the horse's ass twice, pulled the reins onto the side path, drove straight to the nearby village, and then brushed the path at the edge of the village until she entered the woods, and then stopped. After thinking about it, she decided to abandon the cart and ride a horse through this mountain range. If she remembered correctly, the map of the distribution of troops stolen from Prince Lawler's study showed that there were garrisons to the south of the mountain. However, there is a little-known passage in the mountains, which crosses the east and west, and this shortcut will allow the army to quickly reach several noble territories in the east of Noga, which Prince Mario considers to be a top secret.

Unloaded the wagon and put everything it could use into the ring. Then he put a muzzle on the horse's mouth, and Minna led the horse into the woods, and after only two steps, she tripped and fell. She hadn't worn a skirt for a long time, and she was used to striding in trousers and boots, and suddenly changed into a skirt, and she was not used to it for a while. She looked at the hem of the long skirt, which was a little narrow, and reluctantly tore a hole in it, before she strode forward again.

Just walked less than a hundred meters. She heard the sound of horses' hooves and human voices outside, and she hurriedly pulled the horses and hid in the middle of the trees. Look out.

A middle-aged officer with a few soldiers, led by a villager-like man, came to Minna's carriage that had just been unloaded, frowned and asked, "This is the carriage you said?" ”

"Yes, yes." The villager nodded and said, "I have never seen that girl, and she is definitely not from the neighborhood, she drove the carriage past the checkpoint, and did not enter the village, and ran into this wood, it is really strange." There must be a problem! ”

"Hmm," the officer muttered for a moment. So he called the soldiers to search the car. The soldier went for a spin. The report said there was nothing suspicious in the car. The villager hurriedly said, "Maybe it's just a cover-up!" Master. If she's not in trouble. And how could you leave the car here. But the man is gone? ”

The officer was justified when he heard this. He ordered the soldiers to search the vicinity. Then he said to his deputy: "Go back and order the checkpoints." Carefully check if there is such a girl passing by. After seeing it, interrogate it clearly. What exactly is the origin. Then inform her family to come and take her back! Then he threw a silver coin to the villager: "Reward you with the land." I'll find out something strange later. Don't forget to give back! ”

The villager clutched the silver coin tightly. I saluted several times with gratitude. The mouth kept saying assurances. The officer didn't hear it. Just look around. The soldiers were then instructed to search some suspicious places.

Minna pulled her horse early and quietly retreated. Glancing at the villager once in a while. They all felt angry. But she didn't plan to get past the level. So it's not a big problem. The only thing to worry about is. She had to get the order to the east before it could reach the east. Leave the territory of Noja.

The officer's men searched for a long time. I didn't find anyone. Only a few horseshoe prints remained on the ground. But as soon as you enter the depths of the woods, there are many places where the leaves are decided. I can't see it anymore. I had to report back to my boss. The villager listened. Nervously looked at the officer. The latter, however, only frowned and ordered the soldiers to return.

Minna hid herself in the tall grass. See this scene with a telescope. Breathe a sigh of relief. Then he looked at the level in the distance. The number of troops has increased considerably. Looks. Jada: They probably had already spotted her parachute in the jungle behind her. Knowing that "Minter" is not dead. Also lost a trace. That's how the order is given.

Minna pouted, she didn't want to be caught by that kind of bastard!

She hurried back to the place where the horse had been hidden, and pulled it eastward, passing through a dense wooded field, and turning two small ravines, according to the memory in her mind, and came to a slender ravine.

The valley was covered with gravel, only occasionally a clump of weeds emerged, and from time to time poisonous snakes and scorpions sprang out, Minna specially put on long-sleeved clothes and trousers, changed into leather boots, tied leggings, and then pulled the horse into the canyon. There was no end in sight, and in a short time it was dark, and she had to play the illumination until midnight, when she reached the end of the canyon.

It is a small basin, surrounded by mountains and forests, and there is a small village in the south of the basin, but there are only a dozen houses, and a small river flows through the village and runs east.

Minna stood at the entrance of the village, feeling a little weird. In the middle of the night, there was no sound in the village, which was normal, but the air here was filled with the smell of dust and water, and it seemed that no one had lived there for quite some time. Feeling a little uneasy, she left her horse outside the village, turned into a short ice knife, and carefully walked into the village.

Sure enough, there was no one in the village, not even a single livestock, the furniture in the houses was covered with dust, and there was water in the yards, probably just after the rain. Minna looked at a few rooms, but her anxiety became heavier and heavier, if the villagers here had moved away, what about the clothes in the cabinet and the spoiled noodles in the kitchen? Nuojia's grain production is not high, so civilians pay attention to grain storage and will never leave half a jar of noodles and leave.

But it took a turn in the village. Minna didn't notice anything suspicious, but the fatigue on her body became heavier and heavier, so she had to suppress her anxiety, led the horse into an empty house, fed the horse with "dinner", and hastily slept with her clothes.

Wake up early in the morning. But I didn't get much rest. The time was too short, and she was always worried that something would happen. In order to ensure her physical strength and spirit, she had to drink a few bottles of magic leaves, and when she saw that there was not much stock left, she scolded Jada again. If I had known, I wouldn't have given him so many treasures, lest he be in high spirits every day and try to find a way to hunt him down!

Riding her horse and setting off again, she burrowed into the forest in the direction of the rising sun, carefully avoiding the branches that crossed the trees. After walking less than 500 meters, I suddenly saw a black behemoth blocking the front in a fog. Startled, she hurriedly jumped off her horse, turned into an ice sword, and walked cautiously up.

The black shadow didn't move, but it let out a "squeak" scream. Minna felt a little familiar, but she couldn't guess what it was, and as she got closer, she was relieved to find that the black shadow seemed to be a room. I laughed in my heart that I thought too much.

A gust of wind blew, and the fog lifted, revealing a clear outline of the dark shadow. Minna was stunned at first, then frightened, and with a kick of her foot she jumped backwards, then turned and ran back. As soon as he reached the horse, he turned over and ran far past the black shadow.

What did she just see?! Like a giant beetle, like a spider. But when you think about it, it doesn't look like anything. The head is a little like a toad, the whole body is a dark brown translucent carapace, four feet touch the ground, and four large claws are half raised, and there is a ** hard shell on the tail, with a sharp hook at the end.

She'd never seen anything like it! And it's the size of a house! What's next to that monster? White bones? Could it be a villager's land?!

She galloped as hard as she could, running far away. I found that there were no monsters behind me. Only then did he gradually slow down and wipe his forehead. His forehead and body were covered with cold sweat.

As soon as she relaxed, she looked around casually, but she saw another monster on her left, gasped in fright, and tugged at the reins. The horse let out a long neigh, and then she came to her senses, and tried to urge the horse to run, but the horse only neighed and retreated.

Minna looked at the dark shadow with some despair, and wondered if she couldn't escape. At this time, the black shadow moved, and a small black shadow came out of the head, followed by the second and third, and the "squeak" sound was endless, and then one of them jumped in her direction, and she didn't know where she got the courage to raise the ice sword to block, but she heard a scream, and the little black shadow fell to the ground, screaming loudly, and she realized that it was a mountain monkey.

In the blink of an eye, she saw the big black shadow again, and the other two small black shadows also screamed and pounced on her, she blocked them one by one, looking at the black shadow of the earth, she took a deep breath and rode over.

When I got closer, I saw that the black shadow was also a monster, but it was just an empty shell, and the hard carapace was empty, but there were some mountain fruits in it, and it was obvious that those monkeys had made this place their home.

This monster was a lap smaller than the one I had just seen, and only a little taller than the carriage. Speaking of which, the one just now, could it be also an empty shell? She heard the sound of a monkey, right? Looking at the thin white bones next to the giant shell, which seemed to belong to a child, she suddenly felt like crying.

A dozen monkeys gathered around her at some point, their teeth and claws open, and the number tended to increase, Minna didn't want to fight with the monkeys, so she wiped away her tears, shook off her horse, and galloped away.

This run ran directly out of the mountain forest, seeing that there was another canyon mouth not far ahead, thinking back to the map, Minna knew that as soon as she got out of the valley, it was the side of the mountain, so she ran over with all her might.

She finally walked out of the mountain through the valley road, and looking at the plain in front of her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, it was dark again, and it only took her one day to complete the original three-day journey, and she should be able to cross the eastern region before the wanted warrant arrived, right?

But thinking of what she saw in the mountains, she hesitated. Does Jada know that such a monster exists in his country? Where do they come from? Where did it go now? But she couldn't go to see Jada now, and after thinking about it, she decided to leave a letter for him. Either way, she should have given her a notice, hoping that he would be prepared and not let those monsters kill civilians again.

She wrote the letter, delivered it to the officer's office at the nearest checkpoint overnight, and quietly left.

The letter was delivered to the palace three days later, and the soldier who delivered the letter entered the palace with the guards, but was stopped by Sargent: "What is this? Where did the letter come from? ”

The guard stepped closer and reported, "Captain, it was Mint who wrote to His Excellency the Duke. ”

"Minter?" Sargent frowned, stretched out his hand to ask for the letter, opened it without authorization, his face changed, and he hurriedly turned to find Jada, but met Esparo at the door, and said unceremoniously: "Get out of the way!" ”

Esparo smiled: "What kind of letter is this?" Can you show me? ”

Sargent was about to refuse, but he felt a little dizzy and drowsy, and heard someone behind him talking: "Sargent? What's the matter? ”

Esparo smiled and said, "Good day, Your Excellency, Captain Sargent seems to have received something?" ”

Seeing that Sargent was motionless, Jada frowned, and called him, who turned his head, smiled and tore off the letter in his hand, and said, "It was written by that fellow Minter, who seems to have escaped, and wrote to mock us." ”

Jada was stunned when he heard this, and then sneered: "Wait ten days for us to occupy Xike, see who taunts whom!" ”
