"How are you?"

As soon as Kane opened his eyes, he saw Leah, she didn't look much better than Xiao Huan'er at the moment, and she was also disgraced, but Kane could understand that it was a blessing to be able to escape last night, and who would care if her body was still clean and tidy.

Kane shook his head, the morning sun was not very harsh, and it was even a little dim when it was covered by the dense foliage overhead.

The wound on his shoulder had obviously been carefully bandaged by someone, and it looked like it had been healed by Shirley's spell, so it didn't hurt very much, but I'm afraid that his left hand couldn't be used for combat for the time being.

Kane turned his head to look around, and found himself lying under a large tree, still a forest in his eyes, and the group came to visit him when he woke up, along with the remaining four orcs, Kane saw that they looked melancholy, as if he had not been treated very well during the time he had been unconscious.

This is also normal, apparently several people have doubts about their identities, and what happened last night makes people have to be more careful.

"Where are we?" said Kane.

Several people listened to his tone and did not feel that seriously injured, and they were all a little happy for a while, James sat next to him, "We have been on the road all night, I think we should have been far away from the previous woods, but there is a very bad problem, we seem to be lost." ”

Kane smiled, "Overall, what I've heard should be good news, at least everyone is still alive." ”

"yes, still alive for the time being. James wasn't in a good mood, "But it looks like you're in better shape than we thought, which is good news." ”

Kane sat up, "If anyone expects me to die so easily, I'm afraid he's going to be disappointed." ”

James turned his head to look at him, "I always feel like you have some secrets, such as why every time you get injured, you will immediately jump alive as soon as you get up to sleep." ”

Kane looked at Leah and smiled, "Who doesn't have a secret?"

James said: "I just want to be honest with my friends, and that's what I'm going to tell you now, I don't think these orc girls are honest enough, mainly because you know our current situation, we can no longer withstand the slightest betrayal, so do we still need to take them, to be honest, if it weren't for Mark's repeated requests, I guess we would have been much easier at this time." ”

Kane looked at Betani after listening, saw her looking at him with a pleading face, thought for a moment and said: "Rationally say that it is best to leave them behind, at least you will not have any more suspicions, but I feel that they are not very suspicious now, and more importantly, if you can really rule the world one day, I am afraid that there will be many more people to tolerate than this." ”

"Thank you, thank you, sir!" said Bretani tearfully, seeming to see the brightest side of humanity in Kane.

James frowned and didn't speak, as if he was thinking about whether he could really have that day.

Kane looked at Bethany, "You don't have to thank me, you should know that my trust is conditional, although now I am willing to treat you as friends, but if one day I find out that you are enemies, I will definitely not show mercy, I don't want to deter you, I just hope that everyone can really live in peace." ”

"I understand, please believe us, my lordship, I am willing to swear in the name of my ancestors..."

Kane interrupted her, "No, I wouldn't say that if I didn't have to, it's too serious for a friend, but there's one thing I wish you would agree to, no matter how much you know about our identities now, I hope you don't tell anyone, including your people, because that would probably cause us a lot of trouble." ”

"Rest assured, I will never mention it to anyone, including my parents. Bethany replied.

Kane nodded, "You guys should be tired from not sleeping all night last night, I think we won't have any trouble for the time being, you should take a break." ”

James nodded helplessly, then got up with his sword, leaned against a tree next to him and fell asleep, Kane asked Bert and Mark to go to sleep as well, but Leah was still a little worried about his current situation, so she just sat still next to him.

Kane smiled and leaned her body against him, "Sleep, I'm stronger than you think, both physically and willingly. ”

Leah smiled as well, and Kane kissed her forehead before seeing her fall asleep peacefully.

By the time the group had rested, it was already noon, and Kane thought they should have woken up hungry, and he was so hungry that Salad took Mark to find something to eat, while James and Shirley stayed behind to discuss what to do next.

To be honest, Kane is a little undecided now, after last night's incident, everyone knows that Black Mist Town may be just a trap, and I don't even know if there is such a place, plus the current situation of everyone, even if they really go, it will be difficult to save anyone, so even Mark and Vertani didn't insist anymore, only said to let Kane and James decide.

Kane suddenly took out a map, and James and the others were dumbfounded, and they all sighed that he was really thoughtful, in fact, because Kane has been a road idiot since he was a child, and maps have always been a must.

However, this map is extremely probable, and it can only be seen that a certain direction has reached a certain place, and there is no specific route depicted on it, but a few people can barely see the approximate location where they are, they should have gone astray in a hurry, and they could have reached the current military fortress Merlin City by walking for another day or two according to the original road, but at this moment it was a big section to the left of Merlin City.

Kane meant to reach the border first, and it would be best if there was another way out, but if it didn't work, it would be better to go through Merlin City and Voss City.

The group finished their meal and set out on their way, the horses had all been killed last night, so it was inevitable that it would be much slower than before, but a few sets of clothes that could almost completely wrap people around were still there, enough to make a few orc girls look less conspicuous.

After walking for a while, he suddenly heard a 'whoosh' sound next to him, and the group quickly lay down reflexively, Kane looked around nervously, and saw an arrow nailed to the root of a big tree not far away, which looked like an ordinary hunter's arrow, completely different from the one last night, and even made extremely roughly.

"Looks like you don't want to be my food, what a cunning little thing. ”

As the group was lying on their stomachs, they heard a man's voice, followed by a series of footsteps approaching, and Kane glanced at Bert, who slowly climbed behind the tree, waiting to strike the man who appeared.

After a while, a man of about forty years old came over, wearing a tattered piece of armor, a worn-out long sword at his waist, and a homemade simple bow and arrow in his hand, looking like an ordinary soldier.

Kane nodded at Bert behind the tree, and Bert jumped out with his sword in his hand, and the man was obviously startled, and hurriedly threw his bow and arrows, and hurriedly drew the iron sword at his waist.

"Who are you?" the man frowned at Bert.

Kane got up and walked over with a few people, and when the man saw that there were suddenly so many more people next to him, he quickly turned the tip of his sword to face Kane and them.

James looked at the armor on his body, "Who are you?"

The man saw that several people were all imposing, and the equipment on his body was obviously much better than his broken sword, and said carefully: "My name is Owen, I am just a passerby, and I don't want to provoke a few." ”

James frowned, "You're wearing Imperial Army armor, where are you from?"

The man looked at his armor, "Oh, I just picked it up from a dead hapless soldier, I can give it to you if you want it, it's broken to the wood anyway." ”

James' face was grim, "Do you know how the laws of the empire treat a deserter?"

The man was obviously a little anxious, "I'm really not a soldier, you look at this armor, it's a few sizes bigger than me, and I don't think the worst tailor will do it so outrageously, enough to prove that this thing is not mine in the first place." ”

"And where are you from, and why are you here?"

The man put away his sword, and it didn't threaten anyone anyway, "I'm from Vos, and I'm going to Kemar, and that's my home." ”

Kane frowned, Kema City was a city they had walked through, not far from Furui City, "As far as I know, this is not the way to go to Kema City. ”

The man nodded, "Yes, but now that Merlin has been built into a new fortress, the sergeants are very scrutinized, so I have to take a detour." ”

Kane's eyes lit up, "You're saying you came here straight from Voss?"

The man nodded, "I wouldn't take this road unless I had to, in the past only smuggling merchants and slave traders would go here, to mention a few...", he looked at the Bethany, who were almost blind, and his face became a little anxious.

Kane smiled, "We're just a few lost merchants, and there's a bunch of rich people waiting for us to do business in the west, so if you can help, maybe we'll get along very well." ”

The man hesitated, "Where are you going?"

"Farther west of Vos, outside the Empire, if you happen to know the way there, you might be able to earn a good pay. ”

Owen was a little puzzled, "Outside the Empire? Now that Voss City has fallen, Merlin City is currently the border of the Empire, to be precise, you have already left the Empire a short distance further." ”

"Huh?" Kane paused, "You mean to say...?"

"After the city of Voss was occupied by orcs and ghosts, they almost razed it to the ground, the former pass is long gone, as long as you pass Merlin City, you can go wherever you want, of course, provided you don't meet those orcs and ghosts. ”

"Ghosts?"

"Yes, the black one, that's what everyone in this area calls it. ”

"Is there no one stationed in Voss now?

Owen nodded, "I think they should just leave temporarily, after all, who wants to stay in a city that has been razed, orcs are not like humans, they are not so fanatical about land division." ”

Kane smiled, was in a good mood, took out some gold coins and said, "Thank you for the business information, I think we may be able to buy a few plots of land there, while no one notices it, if you can take us out the way you came, then you will be a rich man in Kema City when you come back." ”

Owen looked at the gold coin bag in his hand with a glint in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "I am deeply honored to serve several adults!"
