The weather was already very hot in the second half of the month of Passion (June), and the two women on both sides of the carriage, Joanna and Betty, were sweating from their foreheads, flowing like a stream across their faces, and the clothes on their backs seemed to be soaked, but there were no traces of transparency under the cover of leather armor.

But even so, the two women who looked slender and fair-skinned due to their elven blood did not complain at all, and firmly guarded both sides of the carriage, as for Simon in front, he even repelled a few beasts rushing down from the mountain, so that Lucian, who occasionally paused from the analysis magic on the carriage, couldn't help but nod in appreciation, they were worthy of the best local adventurers recommended by the tavern owner Hansen.

However, Chris, a real man who had been boasting about his past adventures and training achievements from time to time, became like a frosted eggplant, wilting and following beside him, so hot that he didn't want to say a word.

In the carriage, because Lucien had been resting with his eyes closed, Lina was calm and silent, only occasionally coaxing a crying child, and Bert Wise tried to speak several times but could not find a partner, so he could only helplessly take out the sheet music from his suitcase and watch it quietly.

Time passed quickly, and it was getting dark. At about seven o'clock in the evening, with Lucian's permission, Simon chose a leeward hollow in the mountain wall to camp.

Through the efforts of the three adventurers, three tents were erected with the carriage as the core, one for the three ladies, one for Simon and the coachman, one for Wise alone, and Lucien slept in the carriage.

Smiling and watching the three adventurers keep busy, Lucien, who was leisurely next to the carriage, sincerely expressed his gratitude for the money, if he wanted to travel alone, it was best to wait until he became a mid-level magician and learned the three-ring magic of the "Magician's Cabin".

After making a campfire, setting up a jar, and cooking food, Simon and the other three adventurers were a little free. The two ladies went to clean up the creek next to him, and he sat down by the carriage and chatted with Lucien and Wise about the dark mages and vampire legends in the south-central continent.

"It is said that in the Dark Ages. It was indeed the domain of a dark mage, but he was later purified by the Church. Lucien recalled the history books he had read in Natasha's study at the Latasha Palace, "I can't imagine that there are so many legends left now." ”

Simon was more talkative than he looked, and laughed, "The more mysterious things are." The more people are willing to know and preach. Moreover, it can also scare children who do not want to sleep at night. ”

"Actually, every town has a church, but most of the poor like to scare themselves. "Wise is dismissive of the legends of dark magicians and vampires.

Talking and laughing. The two ladies walked back slowly, their freshly washed flaxen hair scattered over their shoulders, wet and slightly messy, with a faint seduction, except that Betty, a sixteen-and-a-half-year-old elf who had not yet grown, was not as charming as her sister.

The whistle sounded violently, full of amusement, from two bards who had been camped not far away. Chris, a stocky man, joined them.

One of the bards simply picked up the seven-stringed bosom harp and played a warm and romantic ballad, looking at the two ladies with fiery eyes. It's the bard's instinct.

Joanna was accustomed to this kind of scene, and with a smile and a sideways glance, she sat down next to her husband Simon, stirring the wild vegetable soup and bread that were boiling in the jar. Betty, the little girl, seemed a little uneasy. He glared at the other side several times in shame and anger, only to provoke an even more enthusiastic sound of the piano, and even another bard joined in.

"You'd better be quiet. Simon warned the two bards in a deep voice that if he hadn't accepted the hired assignment, he would have drawn his sword and walked over now.

Simon, with his thick arms and tall stature, was very intimidating, and even the two bards themselves had good strength, and after weighing it, they chose to stop.

Chris snorted and chirped: "Simon, my friends singing and playing the piano are their own business, why do you let them be quiet? With me Chris here, you are absolutely not allowed to bully people with your strength." As he spoke, he shook his muscles, showing off the two-handed greatsword that was taller than him.

Chris's fame among adventurers is not small, and he once trained a knight, so Simon didn't dare to reply carelessly: "Chris, you'd better be careful, wait until this mercenary mission is over." "Since there is a task on the body, the most important thing is the will of the employer.

Lucien playfully watched the familiar show of hooligans molesting beautiful women, and forgot to speak for a while. Betty snorted softly, "Because they played so badly, that's why they were quiet." ”

"Ugly, little girl, do you think you can play better than us?" the first bard's face sank, even a beautiful woman could not so slander her proudest ability!

Betty just exited angrily, and was immediately dumbfounded after being shot back by the other party, but the little girl refused to admit defeat, looked left and right, and suddenly saw Wise, remembering that he was going to Coser City to study music, so she couldn't help but point at him and said: "Mr. Wise on our side plays a hundred times better than you!"

After saying that, she realized that Wise was one of the employers, how could he be involved, so she apologized to Wise with her eyes again and again.

Wise nodded gently, indicating that he understood her impulse.

The bard over there looked at Wise amusedly, "He, an ordinary traveler, can play better than me, a bard, and if he does, then I will apologize to you, little girl, at once, and stop playing the harp when I meet you." ”

Wise didn't answer the question, just watched the argument as calmly and amusementably as Lucian.

Seeing that Wise didn't seem to dare to come forward, the bard and Chris laughed loudly, causing Betty to blush, stamping her feet and looking at Wise pleadingly.

Simon turned his head and asked Lucian with his gaze, and after getting a nod of agreement from Lucian, he was about to pull out the long sword behind his back.

At this time, Wise stood up and smiled indifferently: "I have just started on the road of music, but no man can refuse the prayer of a beautiful young lady, so I have to reluctantly try." ”

"Haluha, don't mess around with the little girl, Mr. Wise. The bard laughed mercilessly.

Wise walked back to the tent, took out the harp from the suitcase, and then didn't say anything, and just played, the one that the bard had just played, with a pleasant ear and a lot of emotion. Every detail is handled to a high level, and I don't know how much better than the bard.

In silence, the music ends. Betty was the first to applaud, glanced at Wise adoringly, and then triumphantly at the bard.

The bard's face is ugly, how can he pull a random person to have the level of a musician. Could it be that the Lord has abandoned Himself and allowed himself to be tainted with bad luck? Pull it on another young man!

"I'm sorry, beautiful young lady. He apologized with difficulty, then returned to Chris, who seemed to have a grim face, and cooked his food in silence.

Betty is elated, and Simon and Joanna are enthusiastic about helping their sister and is musically talented.

"Mr. Wise, be able to play Mr. Evans, hehe. I'm talking about the talented musician Mr. Lucien Evans' arrangement of Canon in D major? The harp version is also very good. Betty gave Lucian an apologetic look, then pleaded with Wise with a fervent gaze.

Wise smiled faintly, nodded slightly, and played the canon in D major, and the familiar melodious melodious music sounded. Lucien couldn't help but think back to Aalto's friends, and sighed in his heart: "When I arrive in Coser City, I will send a letter back to John and Natasha through the musicians' association, telling them what they have seen and heard during the two-month journey." ”

Before entering the south-central part of the continent, Lucien had sent it once.

After playing Canon in D major, dinner was ready, and Betty said enthusiastically, "Mr. Wise, if it weren't for the fact that I had fallen in love with Mr. Lucien's Evans' music, I would have liked you." ”

"I don't think some of the musicians in Coser City can play as well as you, Mr. Wise. Joanna followed with compliments.

Wise's smile grew slightly thicker, and he was inevitably a little proud to be able to compare it to Lucien Evans in Betty's mouth, a famous musician who is known as the beginning of an era.

Shaking his head in a low-key manner, Wise turned around and walked to his previous position, and when he saw the smile of Lucian, the "noble young master", he spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "Mr. Evans, I really don't know much about music. ”

"Hehe, Mr. Wise, you're so modest and play well. Lucien nodded amusedly.

............

In the dead of night, the tent with the carriage as the core of Lucien and others swayed in the light of the campfire, dim and a little hideous.

A small figure clinged to the mountain wall like a gecko, slowly crawling in the darkness towards the camp in the hollow below, and then waited silently.

When Betty, who was on the night watch, yawned, he leaped and landed silently behind the carriage.

The dark shadow deftly opened the carriage window on the other side with both hands, and then climbed in with agility.

Quietly closing the window again, the dark shadow stood up straight, showing a smug smile, it was Chris, a real man who likes to brag.

"Hmph, everyone thinks I'm a two-handed greatsword warrior who is good at frontal attacks, but I'm actually a good thief with dwarf blood!

Thinking excitedly in his heart, Chris used his eyes with dark vision to find Lucian's figure: "In my eyes, the beautifully decorated longsword over there should be an extraordinary long sword! Hmph, the hairy boy dares to go out with such a valuable weapon to adventure, it's really cheap for me." When I sell it, and with my previous savings, I will definitely be able to scrape together enough money to redeem the Lord!"

"Hey, where's the sword?!" looked left and right, and didn't notice Lucien and Chris, who was wary of the sword, suddenly their hairs stood on end.

When Chris turned to flee, he finally found the sword he had been looking for but couldn't find, and it reflected a faint light in the darkness and stopped at his throat.

Looking at Lucien, who was smiling gently, the real man Chris's feet were weak, and he knelt down suddenly: "Lord Knight, spare me!"

The only thing that can tease you silently is a true knight!

Lucien said calmly, "Stealing is not a good habit, do you keep your left hand or your right hand?"

Chris's cold sweat brushed down, if it weren't for the long sword in front, he would definitely pounce on Lucian's thigh, and now he could only cry and beg: "Master Knight, spare me, I have, I have news for you." (To be continued.) )
