"Tuk Tuk ~~~"

The sound of horses' hooves crisscrossed the plain avenue, and the sight of a thousand iron horsemen galloping was so shocking that groups of mercenaries, merchants, and civilians all stopped by the roadside to watch, and the children looked at the knights in armor with wide eyes, and their eyes were full of undisguised envy and admiration, and this kind of look had been seen by Luo Lan a year ago.

It's just that now when Luo Lan sees the members of the Knights of Light again, he no longer has the admiration he had when he was a teenager, because he has seen the bloody reality through this heavy armor, the Knights of Light is far more complicated than he imagined, in addition to protecting the human race, he is also doing a lot of unsavory things.

However, this time the trial task is to resist the demon beast army, and the demon beast slaughtering humans is something that Luo Lan has seen with his own eyes, so he is full of expectations for this trial, first, this can improve his strength and actual combat ability, and second, he can do his best, even if it is only to kill a demon beast, maybe it can save a civilian like a mother from doom.

Thinking of this, his eyes were red, his nose was slightly sour, and he almost cried, although his mother had been dead for more than a year, she still appeared in his dreams countless times, and she was still kind.

......

"Keep going!"

In the middle of the procession, a knight wearing the insignia of the earth knight held the reins in his hand and said loudly: "Rest for an hour at noon in Longbridge Town, continue the march in the afternoon, and must arrive near Sunset Ridge before dark!"

"Yes, sir!"

A group of knights responded.

Lorain and Avril glanced at each other and didn't speak, their identities are far stronger than these ordinary knights, the students of the elite battalion, as long as they can graduate successfully, are at least the rank of the commander of the branch legion of the Knights of Light, far from being comparable to a mere knight chief, so they don't need to pay attention to the knight chief's orders, not to mention the drunken Gerald, his identity and status are not comparable to this knight chief.

"Hiccup~~~~"

Under the bump of the war horse, the old drunkard burped again, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Luo Lan, Catherine's little girl gave you a sword refined from the essence of the flame snake, such a weapon...... It's rare to look at the Star Source Empire, have you ever thought about giving him a name that is a big spot?"

Luo Lan was stunned: "Lord Qiyu, I haven't thought about it yet." ”

"Then take it now. ”

"Okay. ”

The young man thought for a moment and said, "Fire Snake Sword?"

"It's so ordinary. ”

The old drunkard smiled: "If it were me, I would have taken the name of Flame of Light, Blade of Dawn, Sorrow of Fire and something like that, and perhaps this sword would become a legend." ”

The boy thought for a moment: "It's too hard to remember......"

"So, what exactly are you going to do with it?"

"The Snake Sword is ready. The boy said.

"Hiccup~~~~"

The old drunkard was full of alcohol and said with a smile: "What a tasteless little guy." ”

Luo Lan smiled slightly, in fact, he thought that the "Savage Snake Sword" was actually quite good, very iron sword, and what was called the Flame of Light, the Blade of Dawn and the like was too exaggerated, often many legends originated inadvertently, rather than thinking of a blockbuster from the beginning, so most of them have failed.

On the side, Avril laughed in a low voice: "The Snake Sword, it's good." ”

"Hmm!"

Loraine nodded.

Lin Ke behind him used a pair of slender snow-white legs to hold the horse's back, and there was a faint earthy yellow aura around his body, locking his body firmly with the war horse, and at the same time flipping through a golden book with both hands, there were words in his mouth, and even his red lips lightly spit out a blue six-pointed star blooming in front of him and turning into wisps of magical energy, even when he was in a hurry, this little mage from the mysterious sea still did not forget to practice.

On the other hand, Rodney, with his clear eyes, looked into the distance, concentrated on riding his horse, and always maintained the same speed as Gerald, while the old drunkard often raised his head to take a sip of wine, but the war horse under his crotch seemed to have spirituality, galloping on his own, and his speed did not lag behind others in the slightest.

......

Little by little, time passed.

The sun sets, night falls, the air also becomes cold, the arrival of the cavalry team makes the birds that return to their nests in this mountain forest fly up in surprise, connected into a piece, under the afterglow, the knights' iron armor and blades glow with cold light, full of killing atmosphere, and at this moment, the knight-level knight chief who led the team looked down at the map, and then rode his horse to catch up with Gerald, and said respectfully: "Boss, we have entered the range of Sunset Ridge and caught up with today's marching speed." ”

"Good. ”

The old drunkard's face was drunk red, and he said, "So...... The question is, there is a wilderness near Sunset Ridge, and there is not even a tavern at all, what should I do with Lord Ben's wine?"

The corners of the knight's mouth twitched: "My lord, you can be patient a little, this place is already very close to the northern battlefield, and maybe it will also be attacked by the demon beast legion, we can only camp in Sunset Ridge and rest for the night, otherwise, if we go further, once we are treated by the demon beast legion, the loss will be quite heavy." ”

"Got it. ”

Gerald took a deep breath: "You go and arrange it, just camp on Sunset Ridge, order everyone to set up their own camp tents, in addition, the matter of camp garrisoning is also left to you, send sentinels to patrol around to ensure safety, I'm tired, I don't want anything to happen tonight, otherwise it will be too troublesome." ”

"Yes, sir!"

The knight commander raised his sword high and shouted, "Slow down and prepare to camp near Sunset Ridge!"

So saying, he rode away, surveyed the terrain, and chose to set up camp.

......

Soon after, the camp site was selected on a meadow surrounded by mountains and rivers.

"Let's go, little ones!"

Gerald pulled the reins and stepped into the meadow with eight elite battalion cadets, and the war horse, which was already hungry and thirsty, immediately couldn't help but bow his head to graze, but he was restrained by the master, until he came to the small river next to the meadow, Gerald said: "Come on, go and let the horses go, and the rest of the people will set up tents, fetch water and cook, and have a good rest tonight." ”

"Yes, sir!"

After handing over his horse to a knight, Loren took his luggage and looked around, and finally chose to camp under a tree, where the ground was so dry that a little hay would serve as a makeshift bed, and the grass near the river was too wet to sleep well all night.

"Lorain~~"

Avril stepped forward affectionately, also carrying her luggage, and said, "The tent prepared by the castle for the students is not small, it is enough to accommodate three or four people to live together, it is better to ...... We'll squeeze in, and I'll sleep in your tent, so I don't have to build it myself. ”

"Okay, do you have a bed stand?"

"Well, I did. ”

"Alright, let's set up camp quickly. The boy looked up at the sky and said, "The dew will come down soon." ”

"Good!"

The two cooperated, Avril spread out the tent, and Loran jumped up the tree with the snake sword, cut a few branches of suitable thickness as wedges, and drove them into the ground one by one, and then set up the entire tent, which was enough for 3-4 people to live in after opening, and then cut some flexible grass in the nearby grass, spread a thick layer on the ground, and then opened the bed prepared for the students in the blood-colored castle, and suddenly the two small beds in the tent were laid down, although simple, but it was definitely much better than the food and drink.

A few minutes later, Lin Ke passed by with a magic book in his hand, tilted his head to look at it, and suddenly a pair of beautiful eyes lit up: "Luo Lan, it seems that there is still a place in your tent, can you put me in a bed?"

"I ......" Luo Lan looked helpless.

Avril frowned lightly and said, "Lin Ke, this place was chosen by me and Luo Lan first, you can't rob it!"

Lin Ke smiled, stepped forward to hold Avril's fragrant shoulder, and said with a smile: "Look at how stingy our Avril is, how can there be anything that can't be grabbed, just share together, don't be so stingy, I just need a place in the bed, squeeze it, I don't want to sleep under the dew at night." ”

"What about you...... Do you have a bed?"

"Brought it. ”

"Okay. ”

Avril finally relented and said, "But you can't do nothing, dinner is over to you." ”

"Okay!"

Lin Ke happily agreed, and then borrowed a pot from the knights, and then took out his own materials, and actually spread out the mat on the grass by the river like a pretty cook, and placed the materials one by one, there were vegetables, condiments and pieces of marinated meat, and suddenly, Luo Lan and Avril were stunned, this guy didn't seem to be here to fight the monster, but to swim in the wild.

Lin Ke was ingenious, boiled a pot of viscous and fragrant meat and vegetable soup, and soon the smell of fragrance spread, once Caroline was attracted, even the old drunkard came, carrying a wine jug in one hand, and an empty bowl in the other, and a spoon that was not very clean in the empty bowl, so he sat down on the grass next to him.

"What are you doing here, sir?" said Caroline.

The old drunkard squinted his eyes and smiled: "I smell the delicious smell that I haven't seen for a long time, this broth with wine is really good, little girl Lin Ke, you will cook an extra pot in a while, I'm worried that it won't be enough to eat." ”

Lin Ke had a black line, and he wanted to kick his broken bowl away.

......

Soon after, when the delicacy came out of the pot, Lin Ke served everyone a bowl of broth, and then distributed the freshly baked dough to everyone.

Luo Lan held the soup bowl and took a sip, both umami and spicy, and suddenly the gluttonous worms were hooked, and when he ate the meat in the bowl, he felt that he would even swallow his tongue, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Ke with admiration, this guy not only has a deep magical attainment, but even his cooking skills are quite good, so he took a bite of the dough cake and drank a mouthful of soup, and felt that his life was complete.

......

In the distance, columns of cavalry dismounted, cutting down trees to make simple cones around the perimeter of the camp, and farther away, cavalry roamed, and the whole meadow was protected.
