With the assistance of Big Nose Fan, Avi obtained information about Yoan from the "cat nest" the next day, of course, as the information that the "cat" worked hard to find, Avi also paid ten gold coins, and now Avi has spent all his savings, and the money can't be said to be unimportant to Avi, but this time about Joan's affairs, he wants to take care of it to the end.

"Now that you know they're on a farm outside the city, what are you going to do? persuade him to come back to class?"
"Didn't you say he needed more than a thousand gold coins? In his room, Avi looked at the love note he had brought back from the "cat's den", which stated that John and his father were now living on a farm outside the city.
Big-nosed Fan was lying on the bed, he closed his eyes and said casually: "One gold coin is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for several days, and twenty gold coins is already a reward for a mercenary to complete a difficult task, and what your classmate needs is a thousand gold coins!
Avi couldn't think of any reason, as a poor cadet of the military academy, he had been running a bakery with his baker's father, so why did he need so many gold coins? With this question in mind, Avi left the city of Mallote alone and walked to a stream in the south of the city, where there were some cattle farms.
There weren't any Kingdom Guards on this side, and Avi's surroundings were in the dark, and there seemed to be some figures in the plains in the distance, but when Avi looked over there, he didn't see anything out of the ordinary.
When Avi approached a farm, the owner of the farm was patrolling around his farm with a dog.
"Boy, is there anything wrong with coming here so late?" the owner of the farm, who was holding up the oil lamp, looked at Avi.
"I've come to find someone, and I've heard that a young man named John and his father are living here temporarily. ”
"Joan... I seem to have heard of this name, it seems that I have just rented a wooden house, and I have only lived there for less than three days..."The owner of the farm pointed to the wooden houses in the distance, this farm has about a dozen or so wooden houses that seem to be raising livestock, "Why don't you look for it yourself, if you have something to do with it, come to me here." ”
Beside the owner of the farm, Avi walked in the direction he had indicated, and saw that most of the huts were warehouses, stacked with fodder or bales of hay. Even if he sells the bakery, he won't live in such a place, so why did Joan come here?
Just as Avi was approaching the faint glow of the wooden house, Joan's figure appeared beside the stream. And when John saw Avi, Avi also saw John and a large bag of things on his back.
"Why are you here!?" Joan dropped the things on his back on the ground, then walked up quickly, grabbing the collar of Avi's clothes, "You're following me!?"
Avi didn't break free of the other party's hand, and said in a calm tone: "It was Dugol, the head of the Kestrel Academy, who asked me to come to you, and he said that if you don't return to the Kestrel Academy within a week to explain the situation to him, your degree will be expelled!"
There was a hint of hesitation in Ioann's fierce eyes, but he quickly tightened Avi's collar a little more, "I don't have time to pay attention to the Kestrel Academy right now! You tell the dean to go back to him, and tell him to postpone the deadline a little bit, and I'll go back when I'm done with my own business!"
Avi saw a hint of helplessness in Joan's eyes, the other party didn't want to give up the degree of Kestrel Academy, Joan obviously had something unspeakable.
Hearing the sound outside, Joan's father also walked out of the cabin, but Joan made a gesture that the other party did not need to come closer.
"Did you hear me!" Joan whispered another warning to Avi, but this time Avi didn't wait for Ioan to finish his sentence and pushed away Ioann's hand that was holding his collar, as he saw three figures approaching in the distance behind Ioann.
Without saying a word, Avi pulled out the white lion sword that the eldest prince had given him, because those three people all exuded a strong hostility, and it was definitely not as simple as passing by here!
Joan also reacted five seconds later, as a young military academy freshman, he also sensed that the comer was not good, "It's for you?" he immediately whispered to Avi, who was waiting for him.
"I don't know. Avi looked at the man on the far right, for the man's weapon had been revealed, it was a short axe, and the man with the axe was approaching more quickly than the other two.
Joan immediately turned back to his father, "Quick! Come into the house!" But as soon as Joan finished speaking, a pitch-black iron crossbow arrow grazed Joan's ear and shot directly at Joan's father's heart!
Joan's father covered his heart with his hand and slowly collapsed in front of the door of the cabin. John immediately rushed at his father, but by this time the honest baker had already died.
"Get out of here!These people are killers!" Avi saw that the man who had pulled out the crossbow machine had stopped in place, replenishing his crossbow arrows, while the man in the middle kept a certain distance from Avi.
The man standing in the middle shouted, "Avi of the Golden Hoof City, on behalf of the Captain of the Farrell Branch of the Knights of the Oguna Empire, we greet you, today is the day you accept your punishment!"
The name flashed in Avi's mind as he raised the white lion sword to block the first blow of the axe-wielding enemy! The swing of the short axe was so powerful that the white lion sword in Avi's hand was almost shaken off!
"Avi of Golden Hoof City, it's really a compliment from Lord Talon. A familiar voice rang out, and at the same time Avi heard the sound of a crossbow bolt piercing through the air! An iron crossbow bolt flew past the head of an axe-wielding foe, striking Avi in the left shoulder!
The bolt didn't go into his shoulder, but grazed through the outer layer of flesh and fell to the ground, but the blood from Avi's shoulder had already flowed to his arm. The apothee-wielding enemy didn't give Avi any respite, and the mercenary-looking guy just scolded the guy behind him for a few words, and continued to attack Avi.
The sharp pain in his shoulder reminded Avi of the owner of the voice, the Wood who had been his comrade-in-arms! The inquisitor who had thought he had died in the Battle of Doret was the one who told him that Farrell already knew that Avi was still alive!
Avi clenched his teeth and waved his long sword with one hand, trying to find a way to escape while resisting the crazy attack of the enemy with an axe! But the current situation has no chance for Avi to escape! One of the three people on the other side did not move at all, and Wood stood not far away with a light crossbow staring at him!
Suddenly, a bundle of hay flew from the cabin and smashed into the axe-wielding man's face, and at the moment when the axe-wielding man split the hay, Avi's long sword also stabbed the axe-wielding man's waist!
"How dare you kill my father! Unforgivable!" John took out a thick stick from the cabin, and he also held a long rectangular wooden shield, blocking a crossbow bolt fired by Wood.
The axe-wielding man took a few steps back after being hit by Avi, but Avi clearly saw that the axe-wielding man had a piece of chain mail in his coat, and his sword just now only pierced a little flesh and skin of the opponent! If it was an artificial life weapon in his hand, Avi would definitely be able to pierce the opponent's stomach with the blow just now.
"Are the mercenaries really unreliable? we still have to let our knights play in person..."The man standing in the middle pulled out a knight's sword that was slightly shorter than the white lion sword from his waist and walked over to the two side by side.
Joan blocked Avi with a wooden shield, "If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have been killed by these killers who didn't know where they came from!"
"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Avi immediately privately removed a portion of his robe and tied it around his shoulder, "They're here to kill me!, but now you're going to be their target too, and we can't..."
"Nonsense! They're killing my father! Whoever they are! I'm going to kill them all to avenge my father!"
Avi knew that Joan was an excellent cadet among the freshmen at the Military Academy, but the competition in the skills class was completely different from the real deathmatch. As a person who has experienced many battles of life and death, Avi is not sure that he will be able to defeat the axe-wielding man one-on-one, let alone his basic skills are not as good as his own Joan.
But just when Avi wanted to analyze the situation at this time, Joan had already rushed towards the axe-wielding man with a wooden stick! Joan rammed into the other party with a half-human-high wooden shield, only to see that Joan used the wooden shield to hold the axe-wielding man and the opponent's axe under the wooden shield, and Joan immediately pressed the back of the wooden shield and pressed the other party to the grass.
"What are you waiting for!I'll come to the other guy!I'll hand over the sword to you!Beware of the cold arrow!" Joan pressed against the wooden shield, and the shield-wielding man under him tried to push Joan away, but Joan held the wooden shield with a thick wooden stick, like a rolling pin!
Avi immediately grasped his sword in both hands and quickly shifted his position, keeping himself in a straight line with the sword-wielding knight and Wood in the distance.
"Wood, you don't have to make a move, I don't want to be hurt by you, I'll take care of this little ghost," the sword-wielding knight waved his hand, and the inquisitor who was still holding a light crossbow put down the crossbow machine, "You just want to kill Avi, the murderer of Farrell, right?"
"I didn't kill anyone!"
"Oh... All the evidence points to you that you are a murderer, and that you should not have fled if you hadn't done so! You are just a pariah who is jealous of the knight's squire, and you should have chosen to flee secretly after accepting the verdict of justice, which is a shame on your dutiful mother. "The sword-wielding knight was dressed in silver-white plate armor and wore a covered helmet on his head, and he was a formal knight of the Oguna Empire.
"My mother!"
"That's right, it's Lady Joni, the horse trainer of Golden Hoof City. ”
"What did you do to her!" Avi's concentration suddenly distracted.
The Imperial Knight raised his sword in one hand and pointed at Avi, "After I send you down, you can ask her personally." ”
