Lucius didn't notice his friend's abnormality, and was still talking, "I really didn't expect this journey to be so twists and turns, and finally have the opportunity for us to work together again to show our skills." ”

Barred struggled with his body, he wanted to make a sound, even if it was just a scream, but the sound was like a fish bone stuck in his throat, completely out of his control. Lucius finally noticed Barrede's frightened expression, and at the same time felt a faint chill behind him, and suddenly felt that danger was approaching, and subconsciously turned his head to look. However, Lucius was also a battle-hardened warrior after all, and Bared's travels throughout Wallis had honed his keen observations, and from Bared's face, he realized that if he turned his head at this moment, he would probably be like Bared, so he quickly stopped turning his head halfway.

The cold behind him was becoming more and more obvious, and it was clear that the dangerous thing was already very close to him, and there was not much time left for him. Lucius quickly found the direction of the village, supported Bared's waist with his right hand, and carried the mercenary on his shoulders as he ran, running towards the village with all his strength, he never knew that he could run so fast, and he was carrying Bared, who weighed about the same weight as himself. Lucius ran all the way into the village, the cold behind him getting farther and farther away, but he had no intention of stopping, his legs could not stop, and the physical strength in his body seemed to be inexhaustible. The streets were deserted, and after the murder, no one still wanted to wander the streets at night, and they all hid in their houses, and Lucius traveled through the village from memory, and finally found the inn where he lived.

Lucius' muscular body slammed open the door and slammed into the tavern, stumbling to an empty table and placing Barred in a chair, then sitting on another chair himself, gasping for air.

Most of the guests in the inn were drinking and chatting in the tavern, and they didn't dare to rest in the cold room, so it was safer for everyone to spend the night together in the tavern, and Adeline and the guards were the same, and everyone looked at the two curiously. Adeline knew what must have happened to the two daredevils, and she stood up and walked over to the two of them.

Lucius poured a glass of water and poured it down, his heartbeat making him cough, and when he recovered, Adeline stood at the table, looking at him seriously. "What did you encounter, and why did he become like this?"

Lucius looked down Adeline's hand, only to notice that Barred was still looking ahead in horror. "I don't know, Barred seemed to see something, that's it, I happened to be face to face with him, I didn't see what was going on behind him, my gut told me not to turn back, so I picked him up and ran back desperately, but I can tell you that my heart was panicked, and I felt a chill behind me. ”

Adeline listened to Lucius's description, her brow furrowed. "It's a good thing you didn't look back, otherwise you would have been like the corpse. With that, the mage walked up to Barred and put his hands on his temples at either side, his lips slightly open and closed.

Barrede's expression gradually calmed down, and finally fully recovered, and Adeline withdrew her hand and sat down in another chair. "How's it going, are you awake?"

Barred shook his head. "What's wrong with me, I feel like I'm breathing. ”

"Yes, man, you're like a dead man. Lucius poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Barred took the glass and took a few sips of water, only to find Adeline sitting beside him. "Adeline! I remembered, I saw a dark shadow slowly approaching us from the woods, and I tried to warn Lucius, only to realize that I could not make a sound at all, my whole body was not listening, and I could not lift my hands, and I felt a great terror pressing over my heart, and it became very difficult to breathe. ”

"Sure enough, I guessed right. Adeline glanced to the door, the closed wooden door seemed to be very safe, the tavern customers chatted with each other, the waitress deftly shuttled between the tables, the minstrel whispered around the tavern, and the smell of roasted meat and alcohol filled the air.

Barred hadn't fully recovered yet, and his reaction was a little slow, and Lucius asked anxiously, "What exactly did Barred see?"

Adeline hesitated and leaned forward, her voice very quiet. "Demons. ”

"Shame...... "Lucius repeated in a low voice, "I know that thing, the mage staff in Durham told me the name.

"Mage Staff?" Adeline raised an eyebrow. "Isn't that a mage working for His Majesty the King?

"It's ......," Lucius realized he was talking too much. "It's a long story, but let's focus on the matter now. ”

"Agreed. Adeline decided not to ask any more questions, got up and walked back to her desk, discussing something with the four guards. Lucius could see that they seemed to have some disagreement, but in the end, it was not surprising that Adeline had the final say, and sure enough, after discussing it, Adeline sat down at their table again. "There's a demon here, I'm sure I can't leave right away, I have to settle this matter here before I can go back to the Mage Tower. ”

Lucius looked at Adeline worriedly. "I think you should rush back to the Mage Tower as soon as possible to move the rescuers, you can't deal with the demons alone, I've heard how good they are. ”

"No, I can't go. Adeline's expression didn't change. "I'll write a letter with information on the werewolf's side and the situation here, and I'll send two guards tomorrow morning to send the letter back to the Mage Tower and ask for their support, before that, I have to be here, even if it's to hold off the demon, and of course it's possible that I'll have dealt with the demon before the reinforcements arrive. ”

Lucius touched his forehead, he was sweating on a cold night. "I think you're trying to prove to the Mage Tower that you can take care of demons alone. ”

Adeline looked at Lucius faintly. "You can leave here early tomorrow morning and continue your journey. ”

Lucius was about to say yes, he really didn't want to encounter the demon again, but Barred made a noise before him. "We're going to stay here too. ”

Lucius almost wanted to punch the fool to the ground. "What do you say? Look at you like that, you can't do anything to help. ”

Barred looked at Lucius calmly. "I'm sorry, Lucius, I don't want to drag you down, you go to Shawna alone, I'm going to stay here to protect Adeline. ”

"There's no need for that, and in fact you can't help much. Adeline picked up her teacup and took a sip slowly.

"I'm going to stay anyway, or I won't be able to think of anything along the way, I'll go crazy. Barred looked at Adeline steadfastly.

Lucius sighed. "This is really what I asked for, I want to take some special route, how can I leave you here alone, count me in. ”

Adeline seemed to have expected this result and smiled slightly. "Have you thought it through?"

Lucius spread his hands helplessly. "Anyway, you happened to send two guards to Shavana, and we joined just in time to make up four more guards. ”

Barred gratefully put his arm around Lucius' head. "I knew you were going to stay with me. ”

"You stupid sober, I almost slapped you in the face. Lucius picked Bared's hand away and shouted at the boss. "Ten beers!"

Adeline sat on the sidelines and smiled gracefully, looking at the two men in front of her with interest.
