Wright ran lifelessly among the trees, and even though Magill could shout no matter how much he shouted behind him, the young man's sturdy figure almost disappeared from the sight of the knight captain several times, and Magill barely chased after him by the sound of footsteps. , the latest chapter access: ШШШ.79xs.СоМ . Tillin and the knights were close behind Magir, and they tried to mount their mounts, but the drooping branches of the rainforest only made them move more slowly, so they had no choice but to lead their horses and follow them as best they could.

Stan didn't dare to run too fast, he knew that Nerfi couldn't keep up with it, and he couldn't leave the mage alone in the rainforest. "You use flying, I'll lead the horse. ”

Nerfi glanced at Stan, the overlapping branches obscuring almost all the moonlight, and all she could see was the knight's vague outline. "No, you don't have to worry about me. ”

"How are you ......" Stan can't do anything about Nerfi's vexatious fuss. "We can't afford to lose them, in this rainforest, once we 'get lost', the consequences are unimaginable, not to mention the danger of encountering a mage. ”

"Then why don't you hurry up and catch up, what does it matter if I'm in danger or not?" Nerfi ran past Stan, the ground piled with rotten leaves and wet mud preventing her from running too fast, getting farther and farther away from the knights in front of her.

Stan let out a long snort, clenched his fists, and suddenly rushed forward, picked up Nerfi, and put her face down on the horse's back, the mage's nose hitting the horse's skull. "Hold on!" Stan didn't give her much time to react, immediately pulling the reins and slamming his other hand on his mount's hips, the horse neighed and chased after the rider in front of him, Stan took a stride and strode forward.

"Put me down, Stan, you bastard, let me down, you can't do this to me, you can't force me to do anything against my will!" Nerfi clinged to his horse, low-hanging branches skimming overhead.

Stan ignores her, not even looking back, leading a horse with a man to keep up with his companion galloping ahead, and he doesn't want to get himself in trouble, so ignoring it is the best option.

Nerfi screamed in the back, a shrill voice echoing in Stan's ears, wondering how the 'girl' could scream for so long without feeling tired, which gave him a better understanding of Tillin's words.

Although Stan was slower than his fellow knights, to his surprise, Hope's back never escaped his sight, and in front of Hope, he could still hear the knights' footsteps, but the footsteps were thinning out, as if the distance between the knights was widening, from a dense formation to a long line.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Nerfi finally stopped screaming tiredly, and all that was left in Stan's brain was the sound of his own heartbeat, and the chaotic trees in front of him were changing directions like phantoms, and only hope was still guiding him like a beacon. At this time, he suddenly realized that he also smelled some strange smell, he didn't know when this smell was permeating his side, but he only noticed it at this time. Stan searches his brain for information about the smell, but the exhaustion of running makes him distracted and unable to think clearly, but he knows that it is definitely not a pleasant smell.

The smell grew stronger, the trees thinned out, the footsteps ahead suddenly stopped, and in a moment hope stopped, and a knight grabbed the reins to prevent it from plunging headlong into the water. Several knights had drawn their swords, alerting the movement, and Stan gasped and walked over to his companion. "What's going on, what did you find?" but the scene in front of him made Stan shut up immediately.

On the top of a charred black mangrove tree, more than a dozen burned wooden houses leaned crookedly against the branches, and several wooden houses were completely burned down, leaving only an incomplete wooden wall. It was the time of the ebb tide, and there were more than a dozen corpses scattered on the 'naked' and 'exposed' soft mud floor, which Wright, Tillin and Magill were examining one by one. With the help of the bright moonlight, Stan discovers that there are at least a dozen corpses and a number of wooden planks floating on the surface of the sea in the distance. "Hell, we're late!" Stan said angrily, running up to help check the body.

Stan flips over a face down corpse, whose face has been soaked in the 'damp' mud for days, is now swollen and limp, leaking water from its nose and mouth. Stan resists the intense discomfort in his stomach and stands up, only to realize that Nellfi has arrived at him before he knows it. "Don't look!" Stan stood in front of Nerfi.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to see who they are. Nerfi tried to push Stan away, but the knight's burly figure didn't move at all, and the mage tried to exert force, but it still didn't work, so he had to fly over Stan's head with flying magic.

"Nai......" Stan tries to stop the mage, but it is too late, and Nelfi covers his mouth and falls to his knees, then puts his hands on the ground and begins to vomit. Stan quickly pats her on the back to make her feel better.

Tirin and Magir had finished checking and walked back, and the Knight Captain shook his head helplessly. "All of them are dead, there are no living mouths, and most of the costumes are fishermen here, and the other two are mages. Magir glanced at Nerfi, who was kneeling on the ground. "Judging by the clothes of those mages last night, they should all be from the Mage Tower. ”

Tillin takes the water bladder from Nerfi's mount and hands it to Stan. "Give her a drink, it's miserable......"

Magill didn't know where to escape a flat bottle, and he took a big sip when he looked up. "Without a living mouth, we have no way of knowing what's going on here, so we can only try to deduce. ”

Stan opens the water bladder and pours some water into Nerfi's hands, and the 'girl' splashes water on her mouth to wash off the vomit, then rinses her face again before gradually regaining her composure. Seeing that Nerfi was all right, Stan put the water bladder in her hand and stood up. "In my opinion, it must have been two groups of mages who were preparing to spend the night here, and then a fight broke out, harming these innocent fishermen. ”

"It's not that simple, Stan. Magill tosses the bottle to Stan. "Drink a little, it can make your mind very clear, if it is really just a mistake, why didn't a fisherman survive? So, this is obviously a mouthful!"

"Why do you want to extinguish your mouth, they have lived here all their lives, and they don't know anything!" Wright walked towards the crowd, his red eyes flashing with tears, and his trembling shoulders showed the grief and indignation in his heart at the moment.

Tillin walked over to Wright and placed his hand on his shaky shoulder. "I'm sorry, Wright, but the fishermen must have stumbled upon some secret when the mages lived here. ”

"No, the mages of the Mage Tower will not kill innocents indiscriminately, this must have been done by the Twilight Sect. Nerfi had recovered, patted the mud on his knees, and said slowly.

Wright slapped Tillin's hand away. "It's all you, it's all you strangers, they won't die if you don't come, why do you all have to come to Serendra, it's so peaceful here!"

Stan sighed and walked over to Wright's side and shoved the bottle into his hand. "Wright, we're here to stop the Twilight Sect's 'yin' scheme, we're different from them, we're ...... It's your friend. ”

Wright wiped away a handful of tears, raised the bottle and drank it violently, the incomplete Adam's apple rolling with the rhythm of swallowing.

The knights dug a large pit and buried more than a dozen corpses in the mud floor, and then found a relatively flat open space near the ruins of Mangrove Village to bury pots and cook meals. Wright sat silently, staring blankly at the dancing flames.

Magill nudged Tirin and lifted his chin towards Wright. "He's alright, are we going to rely on him to get out of this damn rainforest?"

Tillin was stirring the 'meat' broth in the pot, and he 'handed' the spoon to Fraser. "I'll take a look. ”

Stan gestures to him, Tillin nods, and sits back in his original position, Stan stands up, walks over to Wright, and slowly sits down. "The first thing you smell is burning. ”

Wright stared blankly ahead, and after a few seconds he replied, "Yes, I'm so familiar with the smell of this jungle that I can smell anything unusual. ”

"Are there any of your friends in there?" Stan asks cautiously.

"Any more wine?" Wright turned to look at Stan.

Stan smiled and yelled behind him. "Wine!" Immediately, a flat wine bottle is thrown over, and Stan catches it and hands it to Wright. "I know you're going to love it. ”

Wright's face twitched stiffly, and he opened the cap and took a sip. "I've been here several times, I've talked to almost everyone here, and Mangrove Village is very small, there are only about 20 people in total, and they are all kind and simple fishermen. ”

Stan sighs, his fingers crossed. "The dead are gone, Wright, and all we can do is find out the truth and punish those who have sinned, in order to comfort these lost lives. ”

Wright tilted his head back and took another long sip of his wine and looked at Stan. "I believe you, Stan, and Tirin, I don't trust the other Canrito knights, but I know I shouldn't have any doubts about what you said to Tirin, and I don't know why, but the first time I saw you, I knew I had to trust you. ”

Stan pats Wright on the thin back, almost squirting the wine out of his mouth. "I assure you, Wright, that your trust is correct, and we need you, Wright, that we need to get out of the Sweet Rainforest before we can continue chasing those mages. ”

Wright wipes the liquor that Stan slapped from the corners of his mouth. "I understand, Stan, 'hand' it over to me, for the sake of those dead people, I'll take you to find them. ”

Stan raised his hand in approval, but when he saw Wright's nervous expression, he let it go in embarrassment, and the smile finally returned to the boy's face, albeit reluctantly, but it put Stan at ease. At this moment, Stan suddenly realizes that he is unconsciously transforming into a leader, and he does not know when this transformation began, perhaps after the great battle in Sarah, or on the way to Altoona with the three 'girl' children, or during the battle at Magnus Fortress, as if every experience 'forced' him to change, and everything happened inadvertently.
