The cavalry on the opposite side all stopped where they were, raised their spears, and they also saw the dust raised in the distance, and the cavalry led by them held the spear with the banner tied in their left hand and drew their swords in their right hand. "Who's coming, don't come near there!"

Lucius was already very close to the cavalry, only about ten yards away, and when he heard the other man shouting like this, he had to rein in his horse and point to the rear at the same time. "We don't know what those are, but not long after we left the Mage Tower, they appeared and were in hot pursuit. ”

Barred also rode to Lucius's side, and looked nervously behind him, only to see that the werewolves had divided into two teams and scattered on both sides of the avenue. After leaving the avenue, the dust raised from the dirt was even worse, and the cavalry could not see what it was, and the two clouds of dust grew farther and farther apart, and finally disappeared behind the two woods.

"What is that? How could you provoke them?" the cavalryman with the banner saw that the danger had been lifted, and put away his sword. "By the way, I forgot to introduce, I'm the captain of the patrol, Esilia. ”

"Thank you for showing up in time, Eislia. Lucius breathed a sigh of relief and patted the horse's neck. "God knows what it is, but I promise it's not human. ”

Another cavalryman interjected and asked, "We patrol in Chavanna every day and never see anything suspicious, why do you encounter and chase you?"

"Elk, don't be rude, don't you see the two mages?" said Esilia, turning her head to the side.

Barred realized that the patrolling cavalry had no ill will towards them because of the relationship between the two mage girls, and Ilsutia took over the conversation. "As a patrolman, I'm sure the Mage Tower must have reminded you to be on guard, and a lot of strange things have happened to Wallis lately. ”

"Indeed, ma'am. Esilya nodded slightly, these guards would give enough respect to mages.

Ilsutia nodded. "So be it, we're still on our way, you have to be careful with those things. ”

Lucius had just pulled the reins, but Eislia hadn't gotten out of the way. "Wait a minute, guys, I have two more questions that need to be confirmed before I can get you through. ”

"What do you mean by that?" said Ilsutia's tone.

Adeline waved her hand, and a gust of wind swept across Ilsutia's face. "I'm sorry, Esilia, we have to hurry as soon as possible, so please hurry up. ”

"I will, ma'am. Acelia bowed slightly to Adeline again. "Normally, at this time, there are only mages who are rushing to the mage tower, and there are almost no mages who run out, do you have any tasks that need to be so urgent?"

Adeline replied calmly, "Yes, we were also instructed in the middle of the night to deliver a letter to Canrito as soon as possible, this letter is very important, so we will send two mages to escort us, and these two are our guards to ensure our safety." ”

Acelya's gaze swept over Lucius and Bared, and finally back to Adeline. "I know I shouldn't be asking about the contents of the mission, but can I take a look at the envelope?"

Ilsutia looked at Adeline in a panic, who knew that Adeline really took out an envelope from the inner lining of her jacket, handed it to Bared, and then handed it to Eslia by the mercenary. The cavalry captain flipped the envelope a few times and returned it to Bared. "The red beeswax, the way it folds at the opening, is indeed urgent. ”

"Now you believe it. Ilsutia said proudly.

Ashliain sighed, and looked at Adeline again. "Another question, just now we saw a soaring flame rising from the mage tower on the way here, and you came here at the right time, what do you have to do with that flame?"

Adeline didn't have any countermeasures to this question, so she had to say, "We don't know what that flame is, it burned behind us when we first left Lot." ”

Acelya's eyes narrowed, staring at Adeline sternly, and Barredra gave her a horse's head and hid Adeline behind her, feeling the girl grab her clothes behind his back. Should I say something, Barred pondered. "We didn't want to involve you, but it seems that you won't let us go if you don't say it. ”

Eslya's hand rested on the hilt of her sword again, and the rest of the cavalry straightened up, ready. Barred raised his hands and swung them twice in the air. "Don't be nervous, I don't have a weapon in my hand, to tell you the truth, someone in the mage tower is trying to stop us from sending this letter, so they sent men in the horse house to try to intercept us, and of course we rushed out. ”

"Did you fight?" Acelia looked into Bared's eyes. "And cast magic?"

"That's right, that's why the flames burned, the stables were lit, but we escaped. Barred glanced behind him. "We've wasted too much time here and we could catch up at any time. ”

Esilia pondered for a moment and sighed. "If it weren't for the fact that the things chasing you are too unusual, I wouldn't have trusted you so easily, and the people who can control those things chasing you must not be serious people. ”

Barred exhaled. "Thank you for your trust, Eislia, can we continue on our journey now?"

"Sure, the guards, but ......," Acelia turned her horse's head. "To ensure that you can leave Shawanneh without any problems, we will escort you on the rest of the journey to the Cumberland border. ”

The four of them all looked at each other excitedly, they really needed the protection of these cavalry, otherwise when the patrol left, the werewolves would definitely catch up with them again, Barred nodded at Eislia in thanks. "We will remember your generosity of help, Esilia. ”

Eslia nodded politely in return, and then gave a new order to the cavalry, and the cavalry squad turned their horses and slowly accelerated in front, Barred and Lucius glanced at each other, urging the horses to follow them. Adeline's nervous mood relaxed, she felt exhausted, and leaned her face against Barrede's back, feeling the heat and heartbeat of the mercenary.

Ilsutia watched from the side, pouting unconsciously, Lucius turned around and whispered, "Ilsutia, you just said that it was handed over to you, if it weren't for Adeline and Bared, we would definitely be captured by them." ”

"I'm ......," Ilsutia pursed her mouth higher. "I just...... I didn't expect Adeline to hide that envelope. ”

Adeline smiled. "I don't know why I went back to my room to get it, but I didn't expect to use it. ”

Lucius refused to let Ilsutia go. "What does this have to do with envelopes, you didn't know there were envelopes to use before, so how are you going to use to send those patrolmen when you say it's handed over to you?"

Ilsutia shrugged her shoulders and glanced at the wand on her belt. "I was going to use hypnosis. ”

Adeline was also on the sidelines to help her friend speak. "Lucius, you haven't seen Ilsutia's hypnotism, which can make you sleep for three days without waking up. ”

"Isn't that starving?" Lucius shook his head and turned back.

Adeline and Ilsutia looked at each other and smiled, and now Adeline was embarrassed to lean her face on Barrede's back, so she had to raise her head and keep a little distance from the mercenary, but she didn't expect Barrede's hand to be restless again, and the girl's hand felt the touch of being gently held. Adeline's body shook a little, she understood that it was Barred trying to reassure herself, she could feel Barrede's inner thoughts, Ilsutia also looked at the two of them, Adeline understood, she felt it too.

Escorted by the patrolmen, the werewolves did not reappear, and the group spread across the vast plains, switching between fast and slow speeds to allow the horses to rest. They didn't dare to stop to rest, and although there was no threat from the werewolves, Marosas always worried them, and Adeline and Ilsutia even feared the old mage.

The sky gradually brightened, and the sun shone behind the crowd, casting their shadows ahead. The four men were exhausted from a long night's travel, and they had not eaten anything except a few times on horseback, and both Adeline and Ilsutia fell asleep on the backs of the two men, and even the jolts of their mounts could not prevent them from falling asleep. Barred and Lucius had to hold back their drowsiness to keep up with the cavalry in front, and the two had been looking for topics to talk about to dispel the deep drowsiness.

Finally, a wooden signpost appeared on the side of the road, and the border arrived. The avenue still stretches forward, as far as the eye can see, but on the other side of the signpost is the territory of Cumberland.
