Chapter 7: Latent
Before Lin Xuan arrived at Mount Tara, Olmuz and Lettermeliz had already had several encounters, among which Olmuz had a slight advantage, and now he only needed to hold on to the fortress of Mount Tara for a while, which was considered a victory, because Tenardiye's army had already sailed to Alsace, and all Olmuz needed to do was to contain it.
(I didn't meet a pig-like teammate this time) After learning about Lyudmila's several arrangements, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. The pig teammates he encountered in the first two main quests have already cast a shadow on him, (I just hope that this time I won't suffer another big rout)
During the day, Lightmeliz organized two small-scale attacks, which were easily repelled by Olmuz relying on the terrain advantage, and it was naturally not Lin Xuan's turn to play as a member of the overseer, to provoke Olmuz's soldiers, gain experience and complete the transfer mission will attract attention, at this time, any action that will attract the attention of others needs to be prohibited, after all, he is still an impostor.
But just such a passive wait is not in line with Lin Xuan's thoughts, in the end, Lin Xuan still chose to sneak out of the fortress quietly, riding a flying dragon to patrol the sky, the experience of the first two main quests has made him understand a truth - want to spend the main quest safely? Just think about it.
Maybe it's useless work, but who knows?
The third day of coming to Mount Tara.
It was the customary to slip out of the fortress again, call for the Wyvern, and fly high into the air, carefully observing the vicinity of the Tara Mountains.
"Hmm, what's that?" At the back of the fortress, in the middle of the ice and snow, a moving black dot attracted Lin Xuan's attention, and patted the flying dragon's head and motioned for it to lower its height.
"Bear? Wrong...... Is it a hunter? "I thought it was a bear, but when I looked closely, I realized that it was a human in a bear's skin." What are you doing at this time? After hesitating, Lin Xuan still decided to rule out this uncertain factor - as for manslaughter? Your own survival is above all else.
Just when Lin Xuan controlled the flying dragon and wanted to make a dive attack, an unexpected person appeared.
"Waitβgo, go up," a young girl in a blue silk dress appeared from behind the mountain, and it was Lyudmila Laurie, lord of Olmuz.
"Wyvern?" The blue-haired battle queen put away the longbow in her hand and looked at the flying dragon in the distance, "Did you pass by accident?" β
"She doesn't defend the city in a good manner, what is she going to do when she comes out......" Lin Xuan inexplicably felt that her teeth hurt a little, often it is these details that determine success or failure, to quote a sentence from the earth, she is now dying......
After controlling the flying dragon to land after leaving a long distance, Lin Xuan quickly rushed to the area where the hunter was.

"Where have you gone?" reluctantly stopped, it is not easy to track others in this snowy weather. "Forget it, let's go back" It's not a way to continue like this, and it won't be easy to explain when Lyudmila sees it. Just when Lin Xuan wanted to go back, an unexpected voice called out to him.
"Is that you?"
"Uh...... Lord Lyudmila, what a coincidence" Looking at the girl who came out of the hidden cave, Lin Xuan said with some embarrassment.
"Coincidence?" The blue-haired battle queen asked rhetorically in a skeptical tone.
"Haha, I'm just a little tired of staying in the fortress, and I want to come out and relax" Although the excuse is very embarrassing, there is no way.
"Really?" The tone remains the same.
Just when Lin Xuan wanted to sneak away early to avoid revealing a bigger horse's feet, the figure seen from behind Lyudmila made Lin Xuan change his mind. "Who is this?" Lin Xuan asked "curiously", the person in front of him was covered under the thick bear skin, and it was the suspicious person he had seen on the flying dragon before.
ββ¦β¦ Come in" looked at the heavy snow outside and hesitated, and finally the girl still let Lin Xuan enter the cave that blocked the wind.
The flames of the cave shone on him, and he couldn't see his face under the bearskin hat.
"This is Urs, a hunter with excellent archery," Lyudmila introduced Lin Xuan, her tone appreciative.
"Hello," stared at the half-face under the bearskin hat, as if it was familiar...... "Why don't you take it off?" It shouldn't be that cold in here, right? Abrupt inquiry.
"Sorry, this is the rule in the village, and you are not allowed to take it off outside the village" is also a little weird......
"This is ...... Emissary from Tenardiye, I haven't asked your name yet" Speaking of this, Lyudmila's cheeks were slightly red, but Lin Xuan, who had focused all his attention on this strange hunter, didn't notice.
ββ¦β¦ Ness Isser" When this name was spoken, the strange hunter's body suddenly slammed and Lin Xuan, who had been paying attention to him, noticed it.
(Must have seen it somewhere!) Hunter? Urs? Superb archery? - Superb archery?! Again, take a closer look at his physique. (Tagler Wilmud Warrun!) It's no wonder that Lin Xuan can recognize him so quickly, he hasn't seen many people in this world, let alone the incredible archery skills of this Count of the Brunay Kingdom impressed him.
Although he knew his identity, Lin Xuan still didn't dare to do anything easily, don't forget, his own identity is not visible now, it seems that he must have recognized who he is from his reaction, if it is exposed like this, it is not clear who Lyudmila will deal with first.
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
The atmosphere fell into an embarrassing silence for a moment.
Lyudmila suddenly untied the pouch at her waist, placed its contents on the flames, and poured ice water.
A rich fragrance spreads through the cave.
"Come, please drink"
hesitated slightly, (if you really want to kill me, you don't need to use poison) Out of this thought, Lin Xuan finally raised his glass. "Black tea?"
"Hmm," the girl looked at the two expectantly.
I didn't expect to be able to drink black tea in this world.
When you take a sip, the incredible fragrance stimulates the nasal passages, and the bitter and sweet taste of the elegant temperament spreads on the tip of the tongue, and the fatigue accumulated in the body is almost swept away.
The hunter opposite the "good drink...... ...... No, it should be called Warun, and couldn't help but praise.
Lyudmila smiled happily and raised her glass herself to taste.
After drinking the black tea, Warun stood up. "Well, then, it's time for me to take my leave."
"Urs, I welcome you to the palace in Olmiz at any time if you want," Lyudmila said to Volun, Lin Xuan still hesitated.
"Ness envoy, then please go back with me" Lin Xuan's tone was not so polite, it is estimated that there will be some questioning after going back, after all, it is too much to say that this kind of weather for no reason is too much to say.
I sighed in my heart, "Yes." glanced at the distant Warrun, (if it is exposed like this, there is a possibility that they will end up together...... Damn, at the critical moment, I dropped the chain) relied on psychic communication to let the Wyvern intercept and kill Volun, but found that the Wyvern's time in the air had reached the limit and needed to land and rest. If it comes down like this, there is no doubt that it will be discovered by Lyudmila, and maybe this war queen will be a dragon slayer warrior at that time, but in desperation, Lin Xuan has to keep it away.
Along the way, although he knew that Warun was very likely to follow, Lin Xuan just couldn't remind him, until the end, he returned to the fortress of Mount Tara.
At the city gate, Lin Xuan said, "Lord Lyudmila, don't you think that the city gate behind you is void in space?" I couldn't help but remind.
"Huh? What did the Messenger think? The blue-haired battle queen asked nonchalantly.
"It's not a high opinion, it's just a hunter appearing in this kind of place at such a time, it's not normal to think about it, is it?"
"So is it normal for an emissary to be in that kind of place at that time?" The sharp questioning made Lin Xuan speechless and had to remain silent.
ββ¦β¦ I have my own arrangements for this, so I won't bother the envoy, I just hope that the envoy can stay in the fortress with peace of mind, and don't make the soldiers defending the city too difficult," the girl said with a slight frown.
ββ¦β¦ Yes" Lin Xuan looked back and looked deeply, and followed Lyudmila into the fortress.

Leymelitz Army Camp.
After resting, Warun took off his disguise and consulted with Aryonora
"Two hundred...... No, I can bring a hundred men to the castle, and then, if I can figure out what to do with the gates......"
"I'll give the gates!" Eleonora said confidently.
"Hmm...... But there's one more thing."
"What?"
"Ness Isser, he is in the fortress, as if he were an emissary of Tenardiah"
"Is that him? Didn't he betray Tenardier, and kill Zion? β
"I've got the latest information on this issue," Aryonora's lieutenant Lim walked into the conference room, "The latest information I have gotten is that Ness Isser used the Wyvern to cut off communication between the Verge Mountains and Tenardiye's territory some time ago, and attacked Tenardiye's emissary party to Olmuz three days ago."
"Haha, worthy of the 'Dragon Knight', so, has Tenardiye gotten the news?" Aryonora asked with a chuckle.
"I received news only two days ago, and the new team of emissaries is almost arriving"
ββ¦β¦ What the hell was he thinking" Warun had a headache.
"He's thinking about what his business is, our plan doesn't change - tomorrow, action!" The silver-haired battle queen made a decision.
