Philip's request, Griffith, naturally, could not refuse.

On the day of departure, Griffith was completely stunned by the sheer number of travelers.

First of all, Sir Philip's retinue, about 50 men, all came, and it was understandable that all of them came.

But with the addition of the former Carolingian Baron Stone, the mid-level druidsern, the level 6 warrior Sir Buck Babbel, and his two sons, the level 4 warriors Larry and Gary, and the rest of the nearly 100 soldiers with professional ranks, this lineup is really too exaggerated.

The entire Carolingian barony, with the exception of Andrew and a few soldiers left behind, can be called a nest. Although it was in the name of the guardian Sir Philip, the sycophants were not filmed like this, and those who did not know might think that they were going to war.

Mixed in the team, Griffith, who was originally the protagonist and landlord, with 4 subordinates, was completely reduced to a dispensable minion.

On the first night of camping, Griffith decided to ask his father about it, and at this point, he would not believe that Philip was simply going to Hydra to "see".

"Good evening, Gary and Larry, is Father in the tent?" Griffith greeted with a smile when he saw that the twin brothers were guarding outside the tent. It is really cautious enough to let two middle-level warriors guard the door, and this trip does not seem to be a temporary intention at all.

Griffith thought as he reached for the tent curtain, but was stopped by Larry.

"Griffith, Lord Baron is discussing important secrets with Sir Philip and Uncle Thorn, my old man, and you can't go in now. ”

"Then please help me report it. Griffith said angrily.

"No, Lord Baron has instructed not to disturb. Larry said with a straight face, and Gary made a straight face at Griffith.

The elder brother Gary is frivolous, the younger brother Larry is old-fashioned, and the twin brothers of the Babbel family have diametrically opposite personalities, and they are really a pair of living treasures.

"Then I'll wait here. Griffith would not be discouraged by such a trivial matter, and simply found a stone and sat down.

"Stay away from the tent and don't eavesdrop. Larry's words made Griffith laugh and cry, and he had to move his ass and sit away.

After waiting for about half an hour, Sir Philip finally came out of the tent, and Stone followed him to see him off.

"Who is this man? There didn't seem to be this person in Philip's retinue before. Griffith's attention was immediately drawn to the gray-robed man who was following Philip. The aura of this person's body had a faint feeling that made Griffith familiar.

It's a bit like a shadow puppet! Griffith didn't take much effort to think about it, and soon realized that this feeling was a bit similar to the ghost puppet he had made out of a captured orc?

With the bonfire alone, Griffith couldn't see the man's face clearly, and only a hooked nose was impressive. Griffith wanted to step forward, but Stone seemed to notice Griffith, and turned to give him a nosy look.

Griffith stood awkwardly in place, looking around as if he was looking at the view.

After seeing off Philip and the mysterious gray-robed man, Stone turned around and walked back to the tent, and finally beckoned to Griffith before entering, "Come in with me." ”

When Griffith walked into the tent, Stone was putting away the map spread out on Maza, and Griffith quickly opened his eyes to see clearly, but Stone was moving too fast, and only vaguely recognized the coastline near the village of Hydra.

Thorn handed over a cup of milk tea, which was still a little warm, and Griffey thanked him, and Sir Buck generously extended the half-eaten leg of lamb in front of Griffith.

"Actually, I've already had dinner. Griffith tried to excuse himself, but immediately succumbed to Sir Barker's ferocious gaze, and had to carefully tear off a small strip of meat from the leg of the roast lamb where it had not been bitten, and stuff it into his mouth.

"That's right, men should eat more, Griffith, you're too thin. Sir Buck Babbel burst out laughing, and then poured himself a large sip of beer, which covered his beard with white foam.

"Listen to Anna, you are still a chick now, and you are really embarrassed by Big Brother Stone. My daughter, you can't move it, aren't there still many kilns in Thousand Sails City?, there should be some of those thin women, right?" Sir Buck was a rough man, especially after drinking.

"Uncle Buck, you're drunk. Griffith said, covering his face.

"Hehe, I'm not drunk for a thousand cups, what do you know about a little devil like you!" Buck retorted with a red face.

"Alright, Buck, don't get drunk with me. Stone sat down cross-legged on a cowhide cushion and threw a meaningful smile at Griffith, "Say, what are you doing with me?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Griffith touched his head and pretended to be a good child: "I just think that Sir Philip's pomp and circumstance on this trip is a bit big, and I want to ask my father what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd." ”

"Want to know?" Stone exchanged glances with Thorn and Buck, and then said in Griffith's expectant gaze, "I won't tell you, you'll know when you get to Hydra Village." ”

"Father, if you say this, I will understand my son. Griffith smirked.

"Now that you understand, let's get out. Stone simply ordered the eviction.

Griffith didn't leave obediently, "Father, why don't you tell me my guess and you can come and see?"

"Nonsense!" Stone straightened his face and said, "Do you know what it means to have ears on the wall?" Not to mention those prophetic magic, some clever thieves may not be able to find out even if they touch your side. Can military affairs be used as child's play?"

"Alright, Stone. The good old man Sean stepped forward to play the round, "If you want to not be discovered under the nose of a level 8 warrior, you must at least be a legend." Do such people still need to eavesdrop? Just put down a few of us, and there is no information that can't be asked. ”

"That's it, Father, you underestimate yourself too much. Griffith hurriedly chimed in, "That's right, father." Who was he who went out with Sir Philip just now?"

"A shadow mage. Shi Stone didn't hide this, after thinking about it, he added: "High-level." ”

No wonder, Griffith finally understood why there was a sense of familiarity just now.

The Shadow Mage Guild is a mysterious organization active in the continent of Titania.

Mystery means that they act secretly, and the information of the organization is rarely circulated, and as for being active, it means that they do not move, and every time they act, they often make big news.

It is said that the organization is also backed by the Lady of the Night, and many of its members eventually voluntarily transform into shadow creatures in their quest for power. That's sacrificing a lot of life's pleasures, and it's just a little better than being transformed into a lich.

And the shadow puppet, which is also a shadow creature, will naturally be a little similar.

"Father, when did our family get in touch with the Shadow Mage?" Griffith asked, half-jokingly, half-tentatively.

When Stone heard this, his gaze suddenly became fierce, staring straight at Griffith's heart.

Could it really be that there is a collusion with the shadow mage?
