008: Nervous Barron

Eve stepped into the mist, and then she felt strange. "Eve!" Arthur followed closely behind, also noticing that something was wrong, and his body involuntarily walked forward again, as if he was being pushed by something. "Can you stop?" he asked. Eve shook her head, she and Arthur were in the same predicament. Eve walked unconsciously, even if she wanted to stop, her body was not under her control. This means that even if the danger of death awaits them, they will not be able to turn back. Eve clutched Andra, the only thing she could rely on to fight these mystical powers.

But soon, Eve realized that she didn't need Andra's powers, for they had already come out of the fog. Arthur and others also came out one after another. "Is everyone there?" asked Eve, seemingly all of them making it through the fog intact, much to Eve's surprise. Arthur looked at the fog behind him, he wasn't sure if they would be able to turn back the way they came, the fog gathered together and condensed into something visible to the naked eye, like a wall. He tried to touch it, and a huge force came from there, and he was even shocked back a few steps.

Arthur's movements quickly caught everyone's attention, and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no way out." When several knights heard this, they also tried, but they were all bounced back by the force, and one of them struck him, and as if he had hit himself, he flew out and fell to the ground.

"Looks like we're going to have to find another way. Seeing this, Eve said. The scenery here looks no different from the rest of Woodlin, just ordinary forest. Eve followed the fog to find an exit, but the strange fog was like a wall, separating it from the outside world, like a natural prison.

After exploring for a while, Eve gave up on the idea of continuing to look for a way out on the periphery. After some discussion, they decided to find a place to camp before it got dark, because they had no hope of finding a way out in the short term.

The sun soon set, and with the efforts of the people, a humble camp was successfully set up. The perimeter was surrounded by knights with moist branches, and although they didn't expect to be able to resist anything, they would be warned in advance if a wild beast approached. The dry firewood was preserved and could be used for days, and they had to be prepared to stay here for a while. Although some of the supplies were lost in the battle, what was left was enough to sustain them for more than a month.

The bonfire was raised, and Eve sat down with the knights, roasted the jerky on their hands, and ate it. The knights, who had been nervous for several days, had a rare time to rest, so they unconsciously relaxed a little. "Oh hell, this jerky smells of Nords. One of the knights took a bite and said very exaggeratedly, trying to amuse the crowd, and they all looked at him with a smile, and a young knight asked, "What does that smell like? Johnny, is it the same as your future wife?" Johnny is the second son of the Ribbit family, whose ancestor was a sage, so the second sons of the family must not marry for the rest of their lives, except for the eldest son, who needs to continue the incense.

"What about you? I heard you have a Nord stepmother? Does she have arms thicker than your thighs?" Johnny countered, the guy who was laughing at him was called York, but that was actually his last name. He never told anyone his name, only that he was a child of the York family and that he had been away from home for a long time. He shrugged unconcernedly, unconcerned about Johnny's ridicule. "Who knows? maybe thicker than my thighs. His humorous words soon amused everyone, and for a moment everyone seemed to forget how dangerous their environment was.

Sergeant Barron was tense, and when someone else told a few jokes, he just moved his lips in response, but his attention was completely off the crowd. Eve noticed something strange about him, and he sat there, looking left and right, as if he was worried about something. "What's wrong with you, Barron, why are you so nervous?" asked Eve, who seemed startled and subconsciously reached for his saber, but quickly reacted. "Forgive me, ma'am, I just think it's ...... Some dangers, just my gut feeling. He said hesitantly, but in his words, he criticized the relaxed attitude of the crowd very vaguely. When everyone heard what he said, they fell silent, and even Johnny, who had been talking all the time, could not speak.

The strange calls of the strange birds, accompanied by the chirping of insects, made the knights feel extremely embarrassed. At the moment, there was no longer any mood to talk and laugh, and everyone left the table one after another to see if the fence was secure, whether the tent was secure, and in short, something was needed to ease the embarrassment.

Soon, only Barron, Eve, and Arthur were left seated. Eve and Arthur exchanged glances, and Eve asked, "So, Barron, when did you meet my father?"

“...... I've been playing for Master Rum for quite some time, so long that I don't remember when I started. Barron said sullenly, as if he didn't want to discuss the issue. "I assure you, my lady, that whatever the cost, I will rescue Master Rum. ”

Eve shook her head, she felt that something was wrong with Barron's current state, but she didn't think much of it, maybe she was just too tired. Eve also left the campfire, and she was equally anxious to save the Duke of Rum, but reason never left her mind.

It was quiet at night and nothing special happened. Eve walked out of the tent only to find Barron sleepless all night, his eyes a little red and swollen. "Hey, Barron, are you okay?" Eve was a little concerned about his mental condition, or at least it seemed, he was really uneasy.

"I'm fine, ma'am, I'm fine. Barron held the hilt of his sword all the time, and his shield never left his hand, looking extremely nervous. "Please don't worry about me, it's time for us to go. ”

"What are you afraid of? Do you know something?" even the most obtuse person could see that he was abnormal. Johnny grabbed him by the shoulder and said, "Hey, I'm asking you!"

Just then, Barron suddenly knocked Johnny to the side. The knights reacted quickly and drew their swords one after another. "Be careful! something's coming!" Barron shouted suddenly, and before the crowd could react, an inhuman roar was heard in their ears.
