Nerfi also walked over and surveyed several corpses on the ground, the blurred mage robes on the corpses caught her attention. "These mage robes don't seem to belong to the same group. ”

"What?" Magill looked up, looking at Nerfi in bewilderment. "Ma'am, may I ask what your words say. ”

Nerfi was not used to Magil always calling her a lady, especially such a man with a fierce face and such a violent temper. "Lord Knight, you should call me by my name in the future, I mean, these corpses may belong to two different groups of mages, and they may have fought here. ”

"Two groups of mages?" Magir seemed to remember something. "Could it be the gang that attacked us in Canrito?"

"It won't be them, but it must belong to the same faction as them, the Twilight Cult. Nerfi walked over to a corpse a little farther away and pointed to the black mage's robes, which were half covered by dirt. "The mages of the Mage Tower are almost never dressed in black, so this must be a mage from the Twilight Sect, and I believe that the people of the Mage Tower were intercepted by the Twilight Sect when they crossed here with the Holy Seal, and then the two groups fought. ”

Stan nodded approvingly. "This is the most plausible explanation, judging by the level of decomposition of these corpses, the battle should have taken place more than twenty days ago. ”

"No, you don't know anything about the rainforest, the humidity and heat here can cause corpses to decay faster than anywhere else. Wright crouched down and flipped over a corpse on the ground with a stick in his hand, the back of the body that was directly touching the ground was already riddled with holes, and some unknown bugs were burrowing in and out of the holes in his body, and Nerfi immediately covered his mouth and held Stan's shoulder with his other hand. The knights frowned, their hands waving in front of their noses, fanning away the strange smell of churning with the corpses, Wright withdrew his sticks, and the corpses covered the ground again. "In my experience, it's about ten days. ”

"Ten days, then they haven't been here for long, and Adeline chose the right time. Stan puts away his sword and clasps his hands over his chest.

Tirin also put away his sword and patted the sweat on his hands disapplauded. "That's because our intelligence is timely, otherwise even if she is a great sage, she would not have been able to know what is going on here just by sitting in Valdosta. ”

"I see, so Adeline received your information when we set out from Durham?" Stan said with a sudden realization.

"That's right, it will take some time for the people of the Mage Tower to get here from Shavana, so the timing is just right. Tirin smiled triumphantly, taking pride in the job well done by his colleagues.

Stan gives Tirin a thumbs up in admiration. "I didn't expect that when we were still resting in Durham, there were already so many people preparing for our future missions. ”

The six knights who had been sent out to reconnoiter returned to the open space one after another, and according to the results of their reconnaissance, there were no mages nearby, Magir was a little relieved, and commanded the knights to dig a large pit, threw several rotting mage corpses into the pit, and buried them again with earth. Everything was calm, and the sky began to darken, and soon it was getting dark. The knights removed the pot and stand for boiling hot water from their horses and began to boil the water for cooking.

It didn't take long for the smell to waft out of the pot, and under Wright's guidance, Tillin and the other two knights cooked a pot of turnip beef soup, and the three men felt a great sense of accomplishment as they watched the fruits of their labor be distributed among everyone.

Magir gulped down the broth, and when it was hot, he stuck his tongue out of his mouth and kept blowing. "Frazier, look at your five big and three thick, I didn't expect to have a talent for cooking, this broth is so fucking delicious. ”

Nerfi glanced at Magill in disgust, stood up and walked behind Stan's back to eat.

Tillin spat a bone out of his mouth and smacked his mouth. "Majel, meeting you this time has really upended my image of the Knight of Canrito, and I'm curious how they made you a knight. ”

Magir glared at Tirin and didn't answer him, and Ulf laughed on the side. "Our captain Magill is a bit rude, but he's a real man, and he just hasn't had a chance to play yet. ”

"You've talked a lot, Ulf, I see you glanced at a chick several times last time in Knoxville, and you weren't necessarily much better than me. Magir picked up a cow bone and gnawed it in his mouth.

"I can testify that as long as it is a man, he must be tempted to look at that chick a few more times, her lips are really the most plump I have ever seen, and her boobs are ....... The other knight threw a bone backwards.

"Ted, don't forget that we have another lady here. Clifford on the side nudged him. "It's not Cumberland, but it's better not to be too presumptuous. ”

"It's boring, Magill, I told you not to bring this kid Clifford. Ted took another bowl of beef out of the pot, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.

The knights laughed, ate a delicious dinner, chatted with their companions, and after a day of overconsumption, a large pot of turnip beef soup was quickly swept away. Then the knights, who had not yet eaten enough, took out sausages and bread to eat, and the others boiled a pot of water and brewed honeysuckle tea. This was brought by Wright, saying that it would have some effect on dealing with the heat, although the tea was faint and tasteless, but in order to alleviate some of the side effects caused by the heat, most people still drank without complaint, except for Magill who was yelling to drink again, Stan was glad that at his insistence, they didn't bring a lot of wine, and the knight captain could only drink a little at each meal to satisfy his hunger.

After a day's march and the leech attack, most of the people went to rest in the hut after dinner, and Magill arranged for Ulf and Clifford to stay for the first half of the night, Xavier and Ted for the second half of the night, and then the others to take turns the next night. The knights didn't care whether the hut was clean or not, but they just found some dry space and fell asleep, and after a while, the snoring began one after another.

However, Nerfi had another problem, she really had a leech attached to her back, although she disappeared after sucking up the blood, but left a blood stain on the mage's back, and the other day's sweat made the mage sticky and very uncomfortable, in this state, she really couldn't sleep, so she had to ask Stan, who was with him who had not yet slept, for help. "Stan, I want to take a shower. ”

Stan touched his chin and replied, "Nerfi, I'd love to meet your request, I thought I would be able to give you a hot shower today, but in the current situation, I'm afraid you won't be able to take a shower before crossing the rainforest, I know it's hard, but you'll have to learn to get used to it." ”

"What?" Nerfi almost jumped. "I can't stand it for a day, you see my hair, it's all stuck to my face, and my clothes, I haven't done it in a day, so how can I sleep?!"

"I can't help it, how can you possibly let you take a shower here?" Stan is frustrated by Nerfi's vexatious behavior.

"Well, even if I don't take a bath, then where am I going to sleep at night? In that room? Listen to that snoring, it can almost attract all the beasts within a radius of ten miles, and the smell of sweat all over the room, I won't go in." Nerfi sat down on the ground, staring at the fire in front of her.

"Nerfi, I thought you would grow a little after so many difficult tests, but I didn't expect you to be the same as when you went to Doyle Road before. Stan sighs and turns around. "I'm going to sleep, anyway, there are knights on the night watch today, it's not as cold here as Doyle, and you won't be in danger outside, you can figure it out yourself." ”

Nerfi watched Stan walk farther and farther away from the corner of his eye, and became anxious, shouting at the knight's back, "Stop, Stan, you promised Maurice to take care of me." ”

Stan's footsteps don't stop. "I'm doing this for your own good, and Maurice will be on my side. With the last half of the sentence, the knight's figure disappeared into the cabin.

"Damn, I hate you, Stan!" Nerfi grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground and threw it at the cabin, only to realize that he had soiled his hands, and the mage grabbed a handful of fallen leaves from the ground and wiped his palms, only to find that the fallen leaves were also stained, and his white hands became dirtier and dirtier. In the end, Nerfi had to wipe the corners of her clothes, looking at the soiled clothes, she couldn't control it anymore, all the grievances in her stomach poured out, the girl curled up her legs, buried her face between her knees, her arms around her knees, and her shoulders kept shaking.
