Chapter Eighty-Eight

The view outside the West City Gate is relatively open, and a straight road leads into the distance, and the grove that Kane said is easy to find, just more than five miles outside the city.

The two of them came here quickly, the woods were not very dense, so the forest could barely ride horses, and after walking for a while, Kane saw four horses tied to the trees not far away, and immediately knew in his heart that they had come out safely.

Sure enough, I saw a person popping out from the side, "My lord." ”

Leah was taken aback by him, and was about to draw her sword when Kane said, "Don't be nervous, this is my retinue Baroque." He nodded to Baroque again, "This is Miss Leah, my... My wife. ”

Kane found it a bit difficult to say, but he thought of the promise he had made to Serena before, and he said it firmly.

Baroque hurriedly saluted respectfully, and Leah was a little embarrassed by Kane's words and Baroque's actions, and nodded slightly in response.

"What about salad?"

"In front, I'll take the adults over. ”

Kane nodded and took Leah off the horse, walked for a while, and sure enough, he saw the three people waiting, and after some introduction, Kane told everyone about the current situation, and now he just waited for James to arrive and set off immediately.

Leah didn't seem to be used to getting along with people, so she silently walked to the side and sat under the tree, Kane thought about it and walked over and sat down beside her, seeing that his eyes were dim, he gently took her hand and said: "Don't be sad, it's the most important thing to get to Voss City safely at the moment, it's come to this, whether you believe it or not, I will treat you as a wife, and I won't let you be in danger." ”

Leah turned her head to look at him, and saw that he was talking very tightly, and she was not as naughty as before, and nodded slightly, "Sometimes I think you are a scoundrel, but sometimes I think you are very mysterious, you have the power that others can't imagine, and you can also have the followers of intermediate swordsmen, I can't figure out which one is the real you." ”

Kane smiled, "You'll understand, until then you can still be just a normal friend or nothing, I wasn't here to prove anything, but when you really get to know me, you'll understand that I'm really different." ”

Leah couldn't help but smile, "Perhaps, but before that, I want you to respect me." ”

Kane suddenly leaned over, kissed her on the cheek like a dragonfly, and said with a smile, "I've always been very respectful of people, for example, I would never kiss someone on the mouth without their permission." ”

Leah's eyes immediately became sharp, and she withdrew her hand and turned her head away from him.

Kane smiled and got up and went back to Salad them.

The group waited for a long time and did not see James coming, Kane was a little worried, wondering if something had happened to him, and was about to go back to take a look when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Kane walked out and saw that it was indeed James, but there were two other people besides him, one was another member of the elite house, Mark, and the other was a beautiful woman in her thirties, this woman made Kane feel very dangerous, thinking that it should be James's bodyguard, but what was the matter with Mark?

James's face was a little depressed, he didn't say anything, and he didn't mean to introduce a few people to each other, Kane led him to where a few people were, and told him the identity of a few people in Salad, James didn't say anything, but listened to the woman next to him snort disdainfully, obviously a little dissatisfied with Kane taking so many lowly people on the road.

Kane couldn't say anything because of James's face, and when Bert and the others heard that the prince in front of them turned out to be the prince of the empire, they were scared and excited for a while, but they didn't care about anything.

"My idea is this, we keep the horse fast today and go as far as we can, tomorrow we can only give up the road and the small road, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I have prepared some clothes, let's change them first, no valuables can appear on everyone's body, including waiting for a few horses to change. ”

"We're pressed for time, why don't we just follow the road, isn't that faster?" asked the big man, Mark, suddenly.

James was a little angry, "Don't ask such stupid questions again, you can understand with your brain, even if there is no problem on the side of Voss City, but if I don't go back before dark, someone will inevitably come to us, and I didn't think about it before, if I come out, I can buy more time." ”

Kane hurriedly comforted, "Time is limited, it's normal to not think of it for a while, Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself, it's the most important thing to change your clothes and set off now." ”

A few people nodded, and after a while they all changed into civilian clothes, and the salad people omitted this step and only helped to change the saddle.

After a few people changed, they didn't say much and set off on the road, all the way quickly, and they came to a town a hundred miles away in a few hours, Kane was afraid that people would recognize him, so James and the others did not come forward, and let Bert and the three of them do all the affairs, and the group found a small shop to eat something at random and began to hurry again.

But the strength of these newly replaced horses naturally could not be compared with the previous thoughts, and the trip couldn't help but slow down a lot, Kane saw that it was getting late, so he found a small village nearby and rested for the night.

James returned to normal at this time, and even proposed to go overnight, but was vetoed by Kane, and the group was physically and mentally exhausted to varying degrees today.

Except for Kane, no one may have slept well this night, not because they were thinking about anything, but because they were used to sleeping in the velvet bed, and suddenly they couldn't sleep when they suddenly changed to hard wooden boards, but fortunately, they all had some strength, and they wouldn't be frustrated because of this little thing.

In this way, after walking slowly for three days, the group came to a big mountain, this mountain is full of trees, not only many but also dense, several people can only abandon their horses and walk, people with a little common sense know that this kind of forest is the most dangerous, so the group walked very cautiously.

Unexpectedly, the further you went through this forest, the fewer trees there became, and after walking for half a day, the trees had become very thin, and not only that, but even the weeds that were half a man's height had disappeared.

"Wait!" Suddenly, the woman next to James cried.

The woman had always been secretive, and James seemed to have done so on purpose, revealing nothing about him, not even explaining why he had brought Mark here.

The group stopped alertly, and Kane frowned, and with his perception it seemed that he didn't notice anything abnormal.

"What's wrong?" James asked.

The woman frowned, "There's a very dangerous aura ahead, it seems... Evil. ”

Several people were stunned for a moment, and suddenly they heard a voice sound.

"Chatter, I didn't expect a nasty guy to follow, I'm going to see who disrupted my plans!"

The group hurriedly took out their weapons, and saw that the air not far in front of them suddenly fluctuated, and a large cloud of black gas like thick ink appeared, and then the black gas gradually faded, but a black old man appeared in the same place.

It is difficult to describe the strangeness of this old man, and even Kane doubts whether he can be regarded as a 'human' like this, only to see that this old man's head is unusually large, almost similar to his upper body, and there are four 'hands' on his left and right shoulders, each holding something with black gas, which looks indescribably weird.

"It's... Underground creatures!" the woman next to James cried.

The 'person' on the other side stopped laughing when she said that, and seemed to be a little angry, "Damn, you lowly races dare to call a noble necromancer like that, I will eat you alive today!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't hesitate, and he didn't see any movement, and he saw a few puffs of black smoke rushing towards several people.

Kane had never felt such a strong breath, and hurriedly shouted at everyone to dodge, and he hurriedly stepped aside.

Unexpectedly, I heard the woman next to James shout, "Guardian of Light!" Then I saw an additional light screen in front of the crowd, and those puffs of black smoke disappeared as soon as they touched the light screen.

"Damn!" the man on the other side shouted again, and all four hands made various movements at the same time, and before Kane could understand what was going on, he heard a cry from Baroque behind him, and turned his head to see that his foot was firmly grasped by a pitch-black arm, and this arm actually stretched out of the ground in front of him.

"Chatter... Come out, my slave, devour this wretched human race!"

A group of people panicked, Bert next to Baroque was quick-eyed, cut off the hand holding him with a sword, pulled Baroque to dodge to the side, and saw that the surrounding black gas was filled, like a fog shrouded everyone in it, and suddenly all the surrounding scenery was invisible.

"Dispel!" Kane just wanted to open the eye of the night when he heard the woman scream again, and a bright golden light shrouded him, which immediately completely dispelled the black fog next to him, but although the fog dispersed, several people were even more frightened, only to see that the surroundings were full of black skeletons.

They all had weapons in their hands, although this weapon looked like scrap metal, but it really shocked everyone, Kane had never been exposed to such a spell, and he didn't know what these skeletons were capable of, but he couldn't wait for death until now, so he raised his sword to meet it.

"You hateful human, I'm going to make you my slave!" the one on the other side was already a little angry.

Kane saw this and understood the identity of this woman, she should be a priest, as for what level I don't know, when it comes to priests, I can naturally think of the Holy See, and the Holy See exists to expel darkness, so their spells have a restraining effect on almost all black magic.
