"What are you doing, stop him!" Rum grabbed the scout's hand, then ordered the other soldiers to come up and hold him down. "Quick, examine his wound and stop the bleeding. Rum said decisively.

The scout struggled on the ground in pain, and when he heard Rum trying to stop the bleeding, he immediately shouted in horror, "No, no, don't stop the bleeding, there's something in there, there's something in it!" He stopped the soldier who was about to stop the bleeding for him, and let his own blood flow.

"What the hell is going on? What is it?" asked Rum, confused, and then motioned for the soldier to help him stop the bleeding first.

"I—I don't know, my lord, something cut my thigh, and then it got in. The scout panted violently, and his face became unusually ruddy. "I—I can feel it! it's inside me! it's scurrying inside me!" tears streamed down the soldier's cheeks, apparently painful.

"Don't panic, I'll save you. As soon as Rum finished speaking, the soldier in charge of bandaging his wound opened his mouth and said, "My lord, you had better come and see this." You could hear a hint of fear in his tone.

Rum immediately walked over to him and looked at the scout's wound, and the sight of his eyes made his heart sink - behind the wound, there was a protruding part, like a living thing, that roamed around the scout's body, and with each go, more blood spurted out. For the first time in years, Rum was caught off guard, but then, decisively, he drew his dagger and stabbed it down the protrusion, knocking the contents out.

Before the rest of the soldiers could see what it was, they stabbed it to the ground with a sword. It was only then that the crowd realized that it was a strange creature they had never seen before, like an evil creature crawling out of the stories of those churches.

Rum stared at the creature and lost his thoughts, he knew there must be something dangerous here, but he didn't expect it to be like this, it seemed that his plan was not going as smoothly as he thought.

"My lord, he's bled too much. A voice pulled Rum back from his thoughts. "I'm afraid it's hopeless. The soldier in charge of bandaging said regretfully, even for them who had long been accustomed to seeing life and death, this moment was still uncomfortable.

"Your Excellency, ha...... I know I ...... Ha...... It's hopeless. The scout said bitterly, and every time he said one more word, he had to wait a long time before he could continue. "I ...... Ha...... I'm sorry I couldn't...... Ha...... Fulfill my promise...... Ha ...... "He tried his best to finish his sentence. "I just want to ...... Ha...... Just wanted to let you know...... Ha...... I have no regrets about following you here. He barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and then continued, "Please be merciful to me, sir, I don't want to, I don't want to hold you back. ā€

Rum listened quietly as he finished his speech before nodding solemnly, and then with a dagger he ended the scout's anguish and closed his eyes.

"You are a good soldier, and I will remember you. Rum placed his dagger on his chest, and then slowly stood up and said to the soldiers behind him: "Everyone, there are dangers in this forest that we cannot imagine! Please be more careful! From now on! We must stay close together! No one can be left alone! We must all get out alive!"

Everyone was in a bad mood, and the most frightening thing was this unknown enemy. They try to be as fearless as they can, but their untidy responses betray their hearts.

"I hope you can help me achieve my goal. Rum thought to himself, and then led his soldiers onward, and he must reach Fort Repolet before the next night came. Rum looked back at the scout who had fallen to the ground, and silently said to himself, "I'm sorry, but I'm not worth it." ā€

"This is the end of the road, and further on, is the depths of Woodlin, if you want to go forward, please take care of yourself, I don't want to go there. A man who appeared to be Orion said to Gino. "Alright, alright, you can get out!" said Gino unpleasantly, touching his swollen face from time to time. "It's better not to let me know who it is!" Gino thought indignantly, but for now, rescuing Miss Eve was the most important thing, and everything else could be put aside first.

"Well, it's strange why there are two trails here, one more and one less, but both go into the depths of Woodlin. Arthur observed the marks on the ground and felt something strange.

"Two? Well, interesting. Gino rubbed his face, then thought and said, "Either the accomplices of those guys, or their enemies." Or someone else who has nothing to do with it. Gino paused, then continued, "If you want me to say that the kidnapping of Miss Eve by those people was just an accident, they must have wanted to demand a ransom without releasing the hostages in the middle of the way, hmph, what a bunch of daring guys!" Gino said to himself. "I'm willing to bet that these tracks must be a cover, they have no reason to hide in this murderous forest, eighty percent of them are used to mislead us, and I think they will definitely flee to Riporette!" Gino said to the crowd. "Let's go to Reporette!Just stop the cunning fellows there!!The devil will fall for them!!, into the woodlyn!," said Gino, and led the group back.

"Wait!" Arthur hurriedly stopped him. "How can you be so sure?" he asked.

"Hey, listen, little ghost, maybe you're a little clever, but I'm the one who's been sheriff for over a decade, and I know a lot more than you know about them, so you'll have to listen to me!" Gino said with rare seriousness, as if the old bastard had never existed.

Meanwhile, in the deepest part of the forest, in the old manor, Eve was sitting beside Lady Maya, passively listening to her tell her stories.

ā€œ...... The first time I met him was in a dark, damp cave, when I was just a little girl who didn't do anything about the world, and I was tricked out of my boudoir by a few words. As she sipped her tea, Madame Maya recounted her past and sometimes smiled knowingly. Then he rushed in, single-handedly, and beat the kidnappers to the ground. Lady Maya smiled and grabbed Eve's hands before continuing. "Since then, my heart has been captured by him, ah, even now, I still remember how heartwarming he was then. ā€

Eve could only reluctantly laugh and laugh, she was not interested in the love history of Lady Maya, but she had to listen. "Dear Lady Maya, can you tell me more about your husband?" Eve decided, since she wanted to listen to the story anyway, she chose to listen to the part she wanted to hear.

"Oh, of course, every girl loves to hear the stories of heroes, doesn't she?" said Lady Maya, holding a teapot for herself and Eve, and then continued, "He was a great man, a great warrior, and I had heard many stories about him even before I knew her. "For example, he once defeated the most vicious demon, the Sheep Mountain Monster, and it is said that many people died at the hands of the Sheep Mountain Monster before him. Also, he faced the siege of four of his own compatriots at the same time in a single joust, but still won the eventual victory. ā€

Lady Maya had a girlish look. "However, for me, I have only heard of these things, but there are some things that I have seen with my own eyes. She took another sip of tea and calmed her heart, which was about to jump out of her chest. "The first time I found him, he had defeated several demons on his own, and when he had to protect his wounded compatriots. Later, he single-handedly saved the entire Calad Empire from disaster, and you may not know it, but at the time people called him: 'Savior' Wood. She looked at Eve, but her eyes weren't focused on Eve.

"Not only that, my good girl, but not only that, but he is also a gentle man, and he has been very good to me since we were married. As she spoke, Maya fell back into grief. "Until one day, a demon, a cunning demon, disguised as him, tricked me into a wasteland, where my husband was fighting his enemies, but because of my coming, he lost the battle, and that was the only time he lost, but because of me. As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. "My husband perished with the devil, and I was cursed by them, trapped here forever. Lady Maya hid her face and began to sob, but Eve sighed helplessly. I don't know how many times this scene has been played, and no matter what story she wants to tell, it will end with her own tragic experience. And a tragedy has been heard so many times that it no longer feels like a tragedy, and Eve feels like this now, she only finds Madame Maya very annoying.

"Well, dear Lady Maya, I sympathize with your situation, but, you see, I'm really tired, may I go and rest first?" Eve seized an opportunity and immediately said that she needed sleep, and wanted to escape from Lady Maya.

Madame Maya skillfully wiped her tears, and then said, "Of course, Miss Eve, I must be tired after running around for so long, alas, I am very sorry, I have not been talked to for too long, maybe I have gone too far." She said that, but Eve didn't think she was really sorry.

Madame Maya led Eve to the upper floor of the manor, then pointed to the row of rooms in front of her and said, "I have a lot of spare rooms here, you can pick one you like." Then Lady Maya left Eve behind, not knowing what she was doing.

Eve remained in a thank-you posture until Lady Maya's back disappeared downstairs, and she breathed a sigh of relief, moved her stiff body, and grimaced at the staircase. "Hmph, Aunt Weird, don't try to trap me!" Eve immediately sprang into action and began to carefully explore this ancient and mysterious manor.

Eve explored several rooms in a row, only to her disappointment, nothing special, not much different from her manor, the only difference was that the decorations were something she had never seen before.

Eve had a hunch that there were some secrets hidden here, and that if she could find them, she would have a way to get out of here!

Eve continued to explore the rest of the room, but in the end, she couldn't find anything special.

Just as Eve was about to give up, suddenly, she heard movement behind her, and he quickly hid, and found that it was Lady Maya, who looked worried and didn't know where she wanted to go.

Eve thought for a moment, and decided that it would be better to sneak up with her than to wander around here without a clue.

Eve followed Madame Maya until they reached the very top floor, which was very empty compared to the rest of the manor, and there was nothing in the large room except a one-man high mirror and an oil lamp that was about to burn out.

Lady Maya walked up to the mirror and stared at herself in the mirror, just standing there, motionless. Eve waited a long time to confirm that Madame Maya was indeed silent, and although she did not understand what she was doing, it was a good opportunity for Eve, and she hurried downstairs to explore Madame Maya's bedroom, which she had been afraid to enter before.

Eve walked to the door of Madame Maya's bedroom, and somehow suddenly shivered, and she felt an unusual cold air blowing from behind the door. She hesitated, but decided to push the door open, and when she pushed it open, she felt like she was on the Virginia Ice Field, and she shivered from the cold.

"Ahh They fill the entire bedroom, with no furniture except for a plush queen bed in the middle.

"Oh my God, could these be the other people in the manor?" Eve thought to herself, and combined with the stories Lady Maya had told before, she was sure that these were Lady Maya's former guardian knights and servants.

Eve swallowed, then wrapped herself tightly and endured the cold around her, making her way through the ice sculptures to Lady Maya's bed.

She searched every corner of the big bed for something, and at last Eve managed to find a letter under her pillow, she thought about it, took it in her bosom, and hurried out.

"There must be a secret of hers hidden here. Eve thought so, and then quickly ran back to the room she had picked out, lit a candle, and then lit the fire, and began to read the yellowed letter.
