The sudden goodbye outside the city gate made Haight feel that his father's behavior was strange, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only follow with his head down. He looked back at Chiya City in the distance, the towering city was once again obscured by clouds, and the feeling of saying goodbye to this place suddenly welled up in his heart.

But halfway through the procession, Frank suddenly ordered everyone to change direction. This order made Haidt finally can't help but be curious, and asked, "Father, where are we going?

"Of course we have to go back, but we have something more important to do now. Frank said with his hands pointing forward, a slight grimace between his brows. "You see, over there is our Dragon Claw City, and behind it is Red Cliff City. How do you feel when you see the location of these two cities?"

Haight thought for a moment and said, "Father, the two cities are connected to each other and take care of each other. No matter where there is a problem, you can support immediately without looking lonely. I think it's good!"

"That's right, your grandfather thought so. Although Red Cliff City is steep, it is surrounded by other people's territory. Even if you are a vassal, you will lose the loyalty of your master and servant over time. Or did your grandfather think about it on a deeper level, and build a new city in the Sagron region. In this chaotic world, no one is safe, and only by constantly strengthening their own strength can they be invincible. ”

"According to what you said, won't those royal families living in the royal capital have more problems? They are surrounded by vassals! What kind of devilish hell will the king be? The people who live there will definitely be worse than death. Haight said, imagining horrific scenarios in his mind.

Frank listened to Haidt's statement and thought it was a little funny. But seeing Haidt's childish look, he felt that it was too complicated for a child of this age, so he said, "That's not it, many people think it's very beautiful there!"

Listening to his father's words, Haidt felt even more incomprehensible. But soon the beautiful scenery of flowers and plants on the road made him forget all his previous doubts.

After walking for two days, the team came to the destination of this trip, Julin City. The city in the northwest corner of Modaan gets its name from its location in a huge primeval jungle.

Upon learning of Franck's arrival, Op Turner, the lord of Giant Grove City, led his team out of the city early to greet him. Such a warm welcome surprised Frank, and he couldn't help but talk happily with him.

Haight was very impressed by the huge fat man, and every year this meaty guy always brought delicious wild animals. Although he always teased Haight a few words at times, Haight was still a little afraid of this strange uncle in his heart.

Op chatted and took Frank and the others to the living room. Although it doesn't have a castle like Dragonclaw, the large furnishings here still arouse Haidt's interest. In particular, the huge chair was placed in the center like a bed, and Haight thought it was funny to see Op sitting on it.

Frank didn't think anything strange as he sat down and continued to chat with Op. The people who had been serving on the left and right gradually retreated and went to do their own things.

After each of them finished their greetings, Op couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "How did I hear that the red dragon's body is missing?"

Frank smiled and nodded, not saying anything more. But Oppe, who was sitting on the side, said anxiously: "Ah! That's right." Look at your unhurried look. I'm convinced. What a big deal for a dragon of that size to disappear for no apparent reason! No wonder this news is everywhere in Julin City, where my news is closed. ”

"What's the matter, it's all here!" said Frank, surprised to hear Op say this.

"That's right! I didn't believe it at the beginning. But you admit it. What else can I say now?" said Opple and sighed.

When Frank saw Opp's anxious look, he couldn't bear to joke with him anymore, and said, "I want to know, what kind of news did you hear?"

"Well, all the news is the same! What kind of red dragon has been resurrected, what kind of god is manifest and so on. It just so happens that I don't know what's going on lately, but the hunters who hunt in the thorny jungle always disappear. More than 70 people were registered. ”

"How can there be such a thing? I don't think this has anything to do with the disappearance of the red dragon!" Frank was surprised to hear this.

"yes! I didn't take it seriously at first. But I didn't expect that the people I sent out didn't come back for two days. Op sighed louder.

"Opple, I came to you this time on a temporary basis. I had just worshipped my ancestors, and during the worship I suddenly thought that someone would have the power to remove the corpse of the red dragon? Frank saw that Op frowned, and said what he thought.

But after listening to Franck's words, Opp first froze. He looked at Frank with straight eyes, but Frank's sharp eyes at this time made him shiver. After a long time, he sighed and said, "Do you think I used the power of the Great Sacred Weapon to remove the red dragon?"

"Yes. Because I can't think of any other way to make a red dragon that big disappear all of a sudden. Frank's expression grew serious as he spoke.

After saying this, the biggest reaction was Haidt, who was sitting on the side. He didn't expect that the holy weapons mentioned in the book actually existed, and the descriptions of various powerful holy weapons flashed in his mind, and his hand unconsciously picked up his satchel.

Looking at Frank's skeptical eyes, Op stretched out his left hand, a jeweled ring shining in the sunlight. He took the ring off and said, "Actually, this ring is fake! The real ring was stolen five years ago." ”

"What did you say? How is this possible, you are the ancestral heirloom of your family! Why don't you tell me. Frank was furious when he heard Op talk about losing the ring.

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Op hastened to emphasise, "I! I was meant to say it. But everyone knows the status of the holy weapon in the kingdom, and if others know that I have lost the holy weapon, it is equivalent to losing the ability to guard this place. There's a good chance I'll be removed from the knighthood. ”

"Well, now there's a good chance that someone will use your artifact to do things that are bad for the kingdom. If the king starts to investigate and finds out that this is the reason, no one will be able to protect you!" said Frank, slapping his thigh with his hand.

"I know! I searched for the holy artifact after losing it, but I couldn't find it. Op said, keeping his head down, not daring to look at Frank.

"Alright! Alright! But it was worse than I expected. I didn't expect the holy weapon to be lost for so long. Frank leaned back as he spoke. If a person loses the Hallows, there must be more Hallows among all the lords in the kingdom who have them.

While everyone was silent, one of the guards ran in in a panic and said, "Earl, a soldier sent out has returned with serious injuries. Before he fainted, he said that he had found Ovan's army in the Thorn Jungle. ”

Hearing the words "Owan", Frank and Op glanced at each other. No one expected Ovan to appear in the Thorn Jungle. Although in everyone's impression, this vast jungle of thorns has no boundaries and is full of mystery. But there was never any news about Ovan. This time it can be said that it is the first time.

Could it be that Orman had found a way to attack by crossing the thorny jungle?" Franck thought wildly. Op, who was sitting next to him, began to sweat on his face. Despite its remote location, the vast Thorn Jungle gives the city a natural defense, and no one knows what the end of the jungle is, let alone any enemies have ever appeared from here.

While the two men were silent, the ground shook suddenly. The huge shaking shook the furnishings in the hall and the water glasses on the table fell one after another, and Frank and the others hurriedly grabbed the seats to barely fall. After a few seconds, the earth began to return to normal.

Frank and the others immediately came to the outside of the castle, and there was chaos everywhere. Op hurriedly sent the soldiers around the city to find out what was going on. With the soldiers' reports, everyone learned that the emergency was not serious and did not cause any major losses. It just caused some panic when the earth was shaking.

Just as Op and Frank were feeling a little fortunate, a soldier approached from outside the castle. He had several horses on his side. Three or four pieces of wood were tied to the horse's back. And on each log hung bloody human heads.

Seeing this man coming towards him, Op hurriedly shouted a few times. And the soldier who led the horse was obviously frightened, he just walked in a daze, without a trace of expression on his face.

Seeing that this was not right, Frank strode up to the soldier and snatched the reins of his horse to stop. Seeing that the horse had been snatched away, the soldier fell to the ground and vomited.

All eyes were on the horses. Frank threw the wood off one of the horses, and several heads rolled around on the ground, one of which rolled to Opp's feet.

I heard Op shout loudly, and turned his head away from the human head on the ground. Frank hurriedly asked, "Op, what's wrong? Do you know these people?"

Op nodded, steadied himself and said, "This man is my knight. I just asked him to investigate the Thorn Jungle yesterday, but I didn't expect it to be like this today. ”

With all the heads removed, there were fifty-three heads in all. In addition to the soldiers, there are several hunters' heads.

Seeing such a scene, it was not clear to everyone what was happening. Frank walked up to the vomiting soldier and grabbed him. Ask, "What's going on? You know what's going on, hurry up." ”

The soldier shuddered, "We found a wounded soldier in the morning, just after everyone sent the soldier back. A few more strange things came in the jungle, and when they got closer, I saw this, so I hurried to bring them back. ”

Seeing that there was no other news from the soldier, Frank let go of the soldier and said to Oppe, "It seems that Ovan is in the jungle." What do you want to do now?"

"I ······ We're going to break them. Drive them away. Op said as he lifted his fat pants and looked at Frank.

When Frank saw that Op had no intention of acting despite this, he said, "You prepare three days' worth of dry food for us, and I'll go to the jungle to see what is going on." Hurry up and gather your soldiers to support us. ”

Op hurriedly began to prepare as Frank had instructed. Frank asked the soldiers to start checking their equipment. Seeing that everyone was nervous and began to prepare for the battle, Haidt walked up to his father and said, "Father, please take me with you!"

Hearing this, Frank froze for a moment, and he didn't expect that Haight, who had always been timid, was not frightened by the terrifying scene just now, but became brave.

Frank smiled and nodded, "This time it's dangerous." You remember not to leave me. Hai Ling nodded, and tightened his clothes as everyone did, hanging his backpack tightly on his chest.

When Frank prepares to lead his soldiers to the entrance of the Thorn Jungle, he discovers that the original path has changed beyond recognition. I only saw a flock of frightened birds flying in the jungle.

On the other side, a flock of birds chirped in the window, and Silana suddenly opened her eyes. Everything in front of her felt very strange to her. She looked around with her eyes, and realized that she was lying in a room.

Although I wanted to get up, my body felt uncontrollable at this time. What the hell was going on? How could I be here?

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening reached her ears. She hurriedly closed her eyes and listened to the movements around her with her ears. With a few footsteps, Silana felt a person standing beside her.

That man was Walter Ryder. Since secretly transporting Slana back to his bedroom, Walter has been paying attention to Slana's injury every day. The high fever for the first few days made Walter feel that the woman was going to die soon, but after changing her medicine once yesterday, the woman's fever gradually subsided.

By this time, the news of Ovan's escape from prison had already spread. All the inhabitants of the city did not dare to go out easily, for fear of being attacked. And the knights of Xiao Hua, who are on duty in the city, are searching every corner to prevent terrorist attacks.

Walter had a bowl of soup he had just brought from the kitchen, and he knew that the woman needed some food to regain her strength. Walter picked up Slanna's head, made her lean against his chest, and began to feed Slana soup.

Slana, who had regained consciousness, smelled the soup and her stomach began to feel hungry. With a few mouthfuls of soup in her stomach, Silana felt that her body was much better and gradually gained some strength, but the pain spread from her back to her whole body.

Walter felt very happy when he saw that Silana had drunk all the soup he had brought. He carefully placed Slanna, took the bowl and walked out.

When Walter closed the door, Slana opened her eyes and looked at the room again, realizing that she was most likely still in the castle. And his previous vague memories are gradually becoming clearer.
