That's the route, yes, Amanda leaned over the lying dead wood, then around a blackberry bush overgrown with pins, and stood in the middle of an open fern bush, the surface of which emitted a strong earthy smell. No direction again, damn it. He looked up at the sparse stars, the thick branches of which happened to obscure the constellations that were clearly orienting. There are four constellations that are considered to be the most accurate, the constellation Spinnaker in the north, and the five stars align with the brightest star, which is due north. The constellation of the Flamingo in the western sky, the serrated teeth spread out like flaming wings, and between the wings is due west. The constellation Deer is a constellation of three bright and three dim signs, it is located in the southern sky, and the junction of light and dark is always due south. The second is the constellation of Sheep's Horn in the eastern canopy, and when the Saint Tower Scholars of the High Mountain People present their celestial reports, they always bring the Sheep's Horn Constellation, because the Saint Towers believe that the Sheep's Horn Constellation can be a speculum for distinguishing everything, and the tip of the left corner of the constellation is due east.

Amanda turned around and fumbled her way back to where she had been. The footprints he has walked on are so obvious that the footprints of Kairol's predecessors and Itong's predecessors are like the wind blowing, and it is difficult to make out them. He leaned down, searching little by little, and within ten steps of walking before his footprints disappeared into thin air. He hated that he hadn't learned the dwarven 'Flowing Light' from Teacher Irina. He hated himself for not having grasped the Scout's ability to track tracks, and now he looked like a blind dog.

He grabbed his hair with both hands, his expression contorted with helplessness. "How to go, how to go, where is the right direction, why can't you leave a footprint or anything else without a trace......! The echo spread through the forest, and Amanda listened to her voice and blamed herself. "How can I be as good as Itong and Kairol's predecessors, ten years, a hundred years, and the end of the world may not be! I'm really useless, I really don't deserve to be a man in black...... I can't do much to hope they aren't in danger, but I can pray for them, and ask the Greywin Star to protect them and let them come back safely!" he prayed to the trees, swore to the dirt, and finally realized that his absurd behavior was a brainless animal. The stars are overhead, I should pray to them, why are you so stupid.

Just as Amanda blamed herself for her madness, a blue light appeared in the distant forest, flickering and flickering, and the light was very faint, and it was difficult to notice if you didn't look up carefully. Amanda found an open spot and watched the light in the distance. Realize that you are so far away from them. Be merciful, and hope that you will be safe and sound until I arrive.

After about half an hour of running, the blue light above my head gradually dimmed and finally disappeared. He walked through a forest of Qin and stood in a position where the blue light flickered, and the silence around him was filled with blood.

"Yamanda, is that you?" he heard Ito's senpai's weak voice, and when he turned his head to look, a dark shadow curled up under the roots of the tree.

"Ito-senpai?" Amanda approached cautiously, confirming that there was no doubt before running forward to help her.

"You idiot, you've finally found it. Leave me alone, Kyrol is seriously injured, you take care of him. ”

"I'm sorry I'm so stupid, I'm so useless!, don't worry, I'll go!" Amanda turned and ran to find Carol, tears almost falling, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve, looked around, and saw Carol lying motionless in a pool of blood, with a great sword on his chest. There was a broken arm in the pool of blood, and he approached the unconscious Kairol step by step, hoping that Kairol's predecessor would just fall down due to fatigue, hoping that the bloodstain and the broken arm were the enemy's, and hoping that Kairol's predecessor was okay, but all this was imagination.

Amanda saw Carole in front of him suddenly slumped on the ground and didn't know what to do, and it took a few seconds for him to come back to his senses, he snuggled Carole next to him, and after confirming that he was still breathing, his uneasy heart fell. "I didn't help you and Itong-spp. in time, but I'll take you out of this forest safely, don't worry!

In the silence, Amanda lit a fire and bandaged both Itong and Carole, who gritted her teeth as she watched the unconscious Carol, clasping her shoulders and muttering to herself. "My feet make me sluggish, otherwise I would have made her look good, I hate this, I hate North Point Forest. ”

After a moment of silence, "I'm sorry," Amanda whispered. He looked after Carol with his head down and felt remorse for his incompetence.

"You can't change that. From the day the organization handed over the mission, the order that the organization conveyed to you is to study carefully, learn what you have seen along the way, and now your mission is complete, but I will leave you with a new mission, escort Carol back to Black Hill Mountain. ”

"But Ormond ...... them. ”

"To go to Rotten Wood Town is to die. Itong interrupted him, "Do you see, Kairol's arm was cut off, do you want to know who did it? That's right, it's Lilio you like, it's useless to say anything, escort Kairol back to Castle at Dusk safely, and spend the rest of the time in the castle honestly until Kelol recovers." This is what you should do, and the only way you can atone for your sins. ”

When Amanda heard this, his heart beat violently, and all the guilt was so suffocating that he couldn't breathe. Atonement, the way of atonement, what the hell I did, what the hell happened to me. When he saw the short sword leaning beside Yi Tong, he wanted to snatch it and cut his throat. "I ...... I'm damned. He looked up at Yi Tong, her face was so ugly, she was even sadder than me. "Please forgive me, Ito-senpai. ”

Yi Tong also raised his eyes to look at this stinky boy, his eyes full of doubt. "Then it's enough for you to do your part. She never spoke again, nor did she look at Amanda again, and spent the whole night in the cold.

The next morning, the forest was foggy, there were no birds, and no sunlight was visible. Amanda had tried to get some dry wood to build a fire, but the wood was soaked with water, and the humid air left no source of fire. She wanted to wake up Yitong's senior, but after thinking about it, she forgot it. She was tired and sad. He came to Carole, who was also asleep, his pale countenance showing no pain, and the morning mist covering his face. Amanda wiped the mist from his face and straightened his damp black hair. Then he took out a merlan fruit from his pocket, the milky white pea-shaped fruit was wrapped in a hard sweet juice shell, and after a bump along the way, the merlan fruit became soft and crumbly, but the senior of Cairol still couldn't chew or swallow.

Carol took a leaf covered with dew, sandwiched the plum orchid in the middle, and finely grinded it until it became a sticky jam. He collected a handful of dew in the palm of his hand, placed the jam in the palm of his hand, and stirred it until it was no longer sticky. Then little by little it was fed to the Carole's seniors. Only in this way will it not make Carole's predecessors become weaker and weaker, and only in this way will his condition get better and better.

He thought of Lilio standing under the tree, the girl with silver hair and green eyes in her shawl, the girl who revealed her sorrow, and suddenly realized that what he had seen was nothing but a complete deception. She deceived me, she could not have found us, but through me she achieved her purpose. Amanda thought of this to know how stupid he really was, he didn't hate her, he hated himself, he was even worse than a pig. He picked up a stick, broke it in two, put it together, and broke it again. The tiger's mouth on the palm of the hand bled and wiped it off on the wet grass. He watched as the blood fused with the water, the diluted bright red once again filled with mist, and listened to the faint gasps of Kairol's seniors and the deep breathing of Itong's seniors. If I was given a chance, I would definitely exchange arms with Kairol-senpai, and if I could, would Ito-senpai still hate me?

Hearing Yi Tong's uneasy murmur, she curled up in a sleeping position, her hood draped over her head, revealing only her scarred face. She had nightmares again, almost every night. Sometimes senior Carole's will wake her up on purpose, and sometimes she will be awakened by her own nightmares. Every time she woke up, she fell into a quarter of an hour of silence. No one knew what she was dreaming about, and she never said.

The fog began to fade, and the forest resounded with the morning birdsong, revealing the green and blue of the branches and the sky overhead. Amanda began to change the bandaging cloth for the wound of the senior of Carol, and he carefully untied the knot, and the strip of cloth was bypassed in circles, pus and blood flowed down the wound, emitting an unpleasant fishy smell. The bleeding stopped, but the surface of the wound was covered with black lines, and the blood that was spilling from the flesh was also black. The wound shouldn't be bleeding black, Amanda thought to himself, he didn't dare touch it, for fear that Senior Kairol would feel the pain in his heart. So he turned around and shook Itong, who was still asleep.

Itong squirmed and turned, her complexion was so bad that Amanda could tell. She took off her hood and stared blankly at the unconscious Carol, then at Armanda.

"I'm a child, I'm a Senior, I'm a Senior, his wound shouldn't be like this. Yaman replied.

Yi Tong lifted the sleeve of Carol's coat, and his expression changed suddenly, "He's poisoned, let's go." ”

"Where are you going?"

"Don't ask me such stupid questions again. Itong walked onto the battlefield of yesterday's battle, looking down for something, and finally she dug out a short sword from a piece of black dirt, which was the short sword of Ito's predecessor. In Yamanda's impression, there were only two people in the Black Men organization who used dual swords, one was Voragon and the other was Itong-senpai. He doesn't know much about Vorragon and almost never speaks, but Ivan seems to have a high opinion of Vorragon in general, especially Aishara and Ormond. Aisara admires Wallagon, and Ormond and Wallacan are best friends.

Itong wiped the mud off the sword with a twig, and then flicked it on the dewy lawn, and the blade immediately became much cleaner. She wiped it with her sleeve and said, "What are you still doing, you are responsible for carrying him, I will help you with the big sword, and the horse should still be there when we go to the river where we rested." ”

I don't give any hope, my horse sees Lilio like a hungry wolf. Amanda didn't respond, he put on a hood for the senior of Carroll, and as he carried it on his back, a foul smell came from his wound. He covered his mouth and nose, limping behind, Itong leading the way, and Carol's greatsword was too heavy for her. "I'll help you, Ito-senpai. ”

There was silence for a while, "We still have a long way to go. Itong replied.

yes, there's still a long way to go. Although Carol was heavy, Amanda would rather carry him to the Sacred Lake Bay in the west or even to the far east of the Delon Snow Mountain. I can't afford to hold back any longer, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, never.

They walked through the bushes, skirted the ravines, and took a long time to reach the little river. There were no horses in sight, only the black embers of the campfire and the trampled grass. They didn't stop, but walked straight in the direction of Lethe, with Itong always leading the way, slashing waist-high ferns with her dagger, chopping thorns, breaking fallen logs, and sometimes going far ahead to find her way for Amanda and Kairol. And Amanda was not so easy, he knew in his heart that Carole's predecessor was poisoned, and no one knew how far this poison would develop, and whether it would endanger the life of Carole's senior. So he had to speed up, he couldn't have half a moment of rest, and he was on the road all morning. As long as I am tired and don't die, as long as I still have a breath, I won't stop, and he secretly swore that I would definitely save you.

The vast green fields of the North Point Forest take its name from the lake of the white skirt - Lake Rina. Located at the southern end of the North Point Forest, the surrounding area is surrounded by green plains and many sparse villages, and the local herders used to name the surrounding terrain after the location of the lake, so the forest located in the north of Lake Rina was named the North Point Forest. There are many trails through the forest, the roads of Rina Lake, Changqing Pavilion, Forgotten Corner Town, Eagle Gull Village, Kangaroo Village and Xize Town are all in the forest, of course, the widest road is still the road between Forgotten Corner Town and Xize Town, once you walk out of the North Corner Forest to the east, you can step on the 'Holy Ribbon', the road is straight, the plains on both sides are vast, standing on the 'Holy Ribbon', you can see the white light and shadow of the southern horizon, like a mirror, like a crystal glass, that is the lake of white skirts.

The two arrived at the main road from Forgotten Town to Nishizawa Town at noon, and also walked half the way through the North Point Forest. Countless ruts flattened the road, making it smooth and easy to navigate. Suggesting that they take a break on the side of the road, she handed Amanda a Merlan fruit and turned her gaze to the east side of the road. "I have walked this road, and there is a bridge not far in front of me, and its upstream is where we used to rest, and the downstream merges into the lake of white dresses, and there must be a lot of pedestrians coming and going. ”

I didn't see any figures, and Amanda munched on the fruit as she looked back and forth in Ito's sight. Seriously, her attitude towards me is improving, I'm really happy, everything will pass, everything will be okay. "Hopefully a carriage will allow us to get to Nishizawa sooner. ”

"Nishizawa has a witch doctor, I heard that she used to be from the town of Rotten Wood, and she has traveled a lot and come into contact with the dwarves. Itong looked at the unconscious Carol, "Maybe she can save her." ”

When they reached the wooden bridge ahead, a convoy happened to be driving behind them. Four horsemen were in front, behind them was a two-horse baggage, and the carriage was closely followed by more than twenty horsemen. They were heavily armed and shimmered silver in the dappled light of the shade of the trees. A cavalryman with the banner of an alpine eagle on his back was the cavalry of the people of Nishizawa, King of Nishizawa, Holheller.

At the same time, the Nishizawa people also found the three of Yamanda, and the cavalry in front waved their hands, and the entire convoy stopped more than a hundred meters from the bridge. The horses spun in motion, and one of the horsemen said something to the other, and he grabbed the horse's belly and galloped towards the wooden bridge.

Amanda leaned Kyrol against the wooden fence, and Itong made his way to the middle of the road to prepare to communicate with the Nishizawa.

The cavalry stepped onto the wooden bridge, and the bridge deck trembled slightly. He examined the three and kept his distance from them at all times. "Friends on the road, where are you from?"

"East of Nishizawa. Itong replied.

"What's wrong with the lying one?"

Itong didn't respond to his words, and directly asked rhetorically, "Why did the mountain soldiers from Nishizawa Town come from the direction of the North Cape Forest?"

"I'm asking you, what's wrong with him!" the soldier shouted impatiently. At this time, Amanda got up, and the soldier saw that his actions seemed to be stimulated a lot, and hurriedly picked up the spear in his hand and pointed it at Amanda, and the black war horse was even more startled, jumped up, and neighed.

Amanda stepped back, "Oh! watch out for your horse!"

"He was seriously injured and still in a coma. Yi Tong said.

"What kind of injury, lift your clothes, I'll take a look. ”

Since that incident, Yi Tong has suffered a lot, and this time she didn't want to continue to be bullied by these soldiers who were hurrying, so she said bluntly, "If you want to force me to do this, you will be the one who will be hurt." ”

When the soldier saw that things were not good, he turned his horse's head and galloped away.

"I thought you'd take him off with a sword. Amanda looked at the soldiers who were fleeing in panic and said with a blank expression.

"I've slain the undead, I've slain robbers, I've never done anything to an innocent person, don't be cranky. ”

"The soldier's expression and movements tell us a message, he is worried and scared, but I feel that his mount is more nervous than he is. ”

"It's not that I'm afraid, you see, a wagon loaded with goods needs more than twenty Nishizawa soldiers to cover, and the cargo inside must be more important than their lives. Itong replied. The two waited for the Nishizawa to make their next move, and they exchanged a long time in the shade of the trees, and then with a command, the whole convoy slowly drove towards the wooden bridge.
