After reporting the results to the chief of the small village in the hills of Susan, Carmen Alicia and the others decided to continue west, and after a few more miles, they could enter the territory of Venice Jarre. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The village chief still looked very sad when he learned what happened to their ranger wesker, the orc, and he didn't know if he was saddened by Wesker's death or worried about finding a new ranger.

Alicia and her party said goodbye to Susan Hills, they needed to continue their journey, and Misty, the hill witch, unexpectedly decided to go with Alicia and the others, in her words, she didn't know what to do in the future, so she wanted to follow Alicia and the others on the journey.

The vast majority of people were against Misty's joining, but Alicia was in favor of it, and since their queen was in favor of Misty joining, the others had nothing to say.

After several days of traveling, they camped that night in a hill, and as soon as they crossed the mountain, they would reach the territory of the ancient winged people, Venice Yar.

Everyone has expressed concern about stepping into the territory of the Winged People, and even if Miria is here to accompany everyone, no one is sure that the trip will be safe, including Miria herself, who knows better than anyone how misogynistic her people are.

That night, everyone hastily ate and went to sleep, because everyone has their own hearts and minds, and Terry, who has always been full of enthusiasm, has been sullen for a long time, and everyone knows what this is, so no one mentions it.

Terry asks for the first vigil tonight, and Tully agrees to Terry's request, and Tully knows that Terry needs to be alone, after all, only Terry can escape the pain of his partner's death.

The sound of the campfire burning, at least tonight is quiet and serene, but tomorrow is not easy to say, everyone's future, it is even more difficult to say, people are still fragile creatures, they will die at any time, Terry has been adventuring everywhere since he was very young, he actually sees his life and death very lightly, but for the death of his friend, Terry can not forget it for a long time.

"Do you need me to stay with you?" Spencer Jessica sat down next to Terry, and she looked at Terry, Jessica's heart was filled with sadness.

"You go and rest, it's okay for me to be alone. Terry wanted to laugh, but didn't laugh, and after a moment, he made a wry smile, and Jessica saw Terry like this, only to realize that she was also very uncomfortable, but she didn't know if she was uncomfortable for Veronica or because she felt sorry for Terry.

"Veronica doesn't want you to be the way you are. Jessica tried to comfort Terry, but she didn't know how to speak, and she inadvertently mentioned Veronica again.

Veronica...... He's dead, people are dead, what's there to hope for......" Terry felt very uncomfortable at the thought of Veronica.

"Terry, I don't want you to be like this!" Jessica cried out in pain, but as soon as she did, she covered her mouth and looked back at the other tents, but no one came out, and she didn't know if everyone was asleep, or if they were secretly listening to their conversation.

"Jessica, can you go back and rest?" Terry said coldly, Terry had never been cold to Jessica, but this time, he obviously didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to be alone.

Jessica looked at Terry in pain, she bit her lip, but she didn't leave, she still sat next to Terry, just silent.

Terry looked at the campfire, his heart was full of thoughts, in fact, Terry's life has long been accustomed to death, others see more death, the more numbness will occur, but Terry is the opposite, Terry sees more death, the more afraid of losing precious things.

Terry remembers that he once told Jessica and Veronica that they would have the opportunity to travel together to the snowy regions of the Far North in the future, but who would have thought that Veronica would never be able to travel with them again.

Terry was still thinking, but there was a sobbing sound next to him, and Terry hurriedly looked over, and it was no one else who was sobbing, but Jessica. Jessica, the daughter of the Spencer family, the daughter of the great Guardian of the Free Frontier, Spencer Monte, a strong and wonderful girl, sat beside Terry and wept silently.

Terry's heart softened, Terry had never made a girl cry, he had always been a very popular person with girls, because he was full of enthusiasm, because he was full of perseverance.

Terry looked at Jessica, Jessica saw Terry looking at her, she wished she could stop sobbing quickly, but she couldn't do it, Jessica was a girl who rarely cried, but this time, she cried very sadly.

Terry gritted his teeth, he stretched out his arm and took Jessica in his arms, Jessica snuggled into his chest, neither of them spoke, and the only thing in the air seemed to be the sizzle of a campfire, and the sound of Jessica's occasional sobs.

"I'm not strong enough!" Terry said suddenly, not knowing if he was talking to himself or talking to Jessica again, Jessica looked up and looked at Terry, she gently grabbed Terry's palm, and Terry looked at Jessica.

"You are very strong, I think with your strength, you can be on par with Brother Rubio. Every word Jessica says is what she thinks in her heart, and she has witnessed Terry's power during her journey.

"No, I know myself best, I'm not as good as Spencer Rubio, not as good as Joseph, not as good as Maester Tully. Terry looked at Jessica and said what was on her mind.

"But you're not bad, I think you're far better than me, and your strength is definitely not inferior to Miria and Lord Jotun. Jessica encouraged Terry, but Terry smiled wryly and shook her head.

"I have to be stronger, strong enough to protect everyone, and I don't want to see my partner die. Terry's eyes were full of determination, and Jessica was absolutely convinced that Terry would become stronger and stronger, and that Terry would soon become a pillar in the Free Frontiers, and Jessica was convinced of this.

"Terry, no matter when, no matter where, I want to be by your side, fight side by side with you, I will be your solid support, and you will be me...... The only thing to rely on ......," Jessica said softly.

Jessica also felt incredible that she would say such a thing to Terry, as the leader of the Spencer family, as one of the most beautiful women in the Free Frontier, Jessica has always had no shortage of suitors, but in the process of getting along with each other these days, Jessica found that none of her suitors can compare to Terry, Terry has the most passionate and sincere heart, and also has a noble personality, which is commendable.

"How could I be your only dependence? Isn't your brother Rubio your dependent?" Terry waited for his eyes to widen, looking at Jessica in confusion.

"Brother Rubio...... He's different!" Jessica burst into tears and laughed, sometimes she really couldn't do anything about Terry, maybe it was a sign of Terry's sincerity.

"Why is it different? because he's a high-level Ranger and he's the head of the Division, and I'm a normal Ranger?" Terry asked, Jessica looked at Terry and smiled wryly, Jessica felt like she didn't know how to deal with Terry anymore.

Terry watched the campfire again, and Jessica sat beside Terry, leaning on Terry's shoulder, and the two of them were like this, guarding the long night of tranquility together.

"Terry...... What a fool......" Joseph, who was lying in the tent, smiled slightly and muttered quietly.

The night watchman who picked up Terriban's was Jotun, who came out of the tent and saw Terry and Jessica, Jessica was already asleep on Terry's lap, and Jotun scratched his head, thinking that the young man was really good.

He walked to Terry's side, Terry saw Jordon coming, but for a while he was a little overwhelmed, he didn't know whether to wake up Jessica, and finally Jordon patted Jessica gently, Jessica opened her eyes, and when she saw Jotun, her face immediately turned red, she quickly ran into her tent, Jotun shook his head with a smile, and motioned for Terry to go to rest too, Terry nodded, and got into his tent.

The next morning, when the sun had just risen, Alicia and her party set out on their journey again, gathered their belongings, and continued over the hills, and finally reached the boundary of Venice Yar.

In the realm of Venice Yar, everyone began to move cautiously, from the wasteland, straight into the jungle, and at this time, it was already Milia who took the lead, because no one would be more familiar with this place than her.

Miria traveled very fast through the jungle, everyone followed Miria to the death, not daring to fall behind easily, Misty didn't say a word along the way, she just followed everyone, but she didn't fall behind and cause trouble.

During the march, everyone noticed that there was a group of mushroom people fighting a group of gnolls, and when Miria saw this, she frowned unconsciously, she hadn't frowned like this for a long time.

"What's going on?" asked Tully as he stepped forward and whispered.

"The gnolls have invaded the territory of the mushroom people, and the two sides are fighting for territory. Miria explained to Tully.

"Leave them alone, let's get out of here and get into less trouble. Tully shouted at Miria, as he sensed that Miria seemed to be intervening.

"Maester Tully!If the gnolls drive out the mushroom people, the balance here will be disrupted!" Miria clearly disagreed with Tully's decision.

"If something goes wrong with little Ellie, then the balance of the entire Yarrow continent will be disrupted!" Tully said coldly.

Tully has always been very polite to Miria, but this time Tully spoke very firmly, and Miria also understood the current situation, so she had to nod, and now she can only temporarily give up her balance, and let Alicia pass through Venice safely first.

But before Miria could give the order to continue on her way, countless arrows suddenly shot at the group of gnolls from all directions, many of them fell to the ground with arrows, and those who did not fall to the ground scattered in a hurry, and fled separately.

The mushroom people didn't react to the scene either, and they staggered from side to side again, as if nothing had happened.

Miria, who was not far away, showed an uneasy look, she was sweating, and she gave instructions to Alicia and the others, everyone understood that it was to make everyone lower their bodies, and Misty, the only one who didn't understand, was also gently pressed down by Jessica beside her.

"It's useless...... ...... was discovered."

Alicia sighed lightly, and everyone stood up and looked back to the left and right, all over the jungle, around Alicia and her group, there were all winged people, and these winged people were all solemn, and they were holding bows and arrows, aiming at Alicia's side, as if waiting for an order to shoot them all through.

Miria also stood up straight at this time, she looked around at her compatriots, her heart was already terrified, she noticed the elder-like wingman at the head of the group, Miria sighed slightly, as if she had found the only hope......
