"If I kill Alfred and devour the black mist on him, how powerful will I get?"

Kevin shook his head, startled by the thoughts in his heart, sure enough, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and greed is the original sin of human beings.

After Alfred left, the atmosphere in the Purple Orchid Tavern became cheerful again, and the conversation was endless.

Most of the customers in the tavern are wealthy merchants, and they are most afraid of the lords of their territory, and some tyrannical and greedy lords will choose passing merchants to fill their coffers.

Back in the room, the attendant brought a few plates of vegetable salad, white bread, ham slices, and some hot drinks, and the three of them sat down for breakfast.

Kevin's fingers tapped on the table, contemplating Alfred's purpose.

At present, Kevin's strength has not reached the knight level, and the value of his identity is higher than his strength. Alfred's plot must have something to do with Angus, but the information between the two sides was not equal, and he speculated that there were too many restrictions.

If Alfred really harbors evil intentions, Kevin also has hole cards in his hand.

In the battle of the wolf pack, Angus left the bloodline prop that he did not use, and it was well preserved, plus the Great Knight Hulk, the two sides were not incapable of fighting.

"Gollum. ”

A sudden sound broke the silence of the room. Hulk touched his belly, his cheeks a little rosy.

Kevin and Randall laughed dumbly, this fool can really bring joy.

"Where's Esther? Why didn't I see her today. Kevin said suspiciously, "Esther usually comes over for dinner."

After the trip to the prairie, Esther found Kevin alone and apologized for her actions.

After all, it was only a fourteen-year-old girl, and Kevin didn't take her words to heart at the time.

Randall swallowed the ham slices in his mouth and said, "She took a few soldiers to the Chamber of Commerce in Ron Town, saying that the trade here is developed and can collect a lot of information about goods. ”

"Oh, she's interested in business?"

"yes, she's been to all the chambers of commerce in Ron for two days. Randall nodded slightly.

After hearing this, Kevin's senses for Esther improved a lot. If he wants to form his own forces in the future, in addition to Randall and Hulk, he needs more trustworthy talents, and Esther is also within the scope of his investigation.

"Crunch. ”

The wooden door of the room was pushed open, and the cold wind outside the door rushed in, and the temperature in the room dropped suddenly.

The man was only half the height of the doorpost, with a round-necked hat and a mustache, and an old face, and was standing in the doorway restlessly.

Kevin looked at Randall, waiting for his introduction.

His name is Bartos, and he is one of the best guides in the area, and he has successfully passed through the cold mountain valley thousands of times in more than ten years. ”

Bartos took off his crewneck hat, saluted, and stood aside.

"Go and ask Miss Esther to come back and get ready to go. Kevin put the fork down and commanded.

The thick black fog on Alfred's head made him very jealous, and although Ron Town was prosperous and comfortable, it couldn't stay for long.

......

The sergeants put on their silver armor again, took Bartos and Esther with them, and the convoy left Ron Town and headed for the Cold Mountain Gorge.

The itinerary of the cold mountain canyon is divided into two parts, the first half is a winding and rugged canyon, and the second half is a cold mountain covered with snow all year round.

The canyon is full of strange rocks and shallows, which caused great trouble for the carriage to travel.

Kevin sat in the carriage and browsed "Cleaver Fencing", and with a "bang", the wheel touched the rocks in the shallows again.

His brows furrowed slightly, and there was some impatience in his eyes, so he couldn't read quietly, so he simply pushed open the door and sat down next to Bartos.

Bartos is sociable, having only been in the team for a day, and is already familiar with everyone.

"Master Kevin, this is the shallow forest of the Cold Mountain Canyon, and this section of the road is particularly difficult for the carriage to travel, and the back is relatively flat. ”

He saw Kevin come out and knew that the bumps in the road had affected Kevin.

"It's okay, it's time to come out and breathe. ”

Kevin took the initiative to ask Bartos, "Who made the street plan for Rontown?"

"It was made by the great Lord Louis and given to Adjutant Alfred to carry it out, and in addition to these, we have a special preacher every month to explain the glorious deeds of Lord Louis. ”

Bartos said this with a deep sense of pride in his tone, especially when he mentioned Louis, his expression was almost fanatical.

Kevin took in the change in Bartos's expression, and his evaluation of Louis in his heart went up a notch.

No matter what kind of person Louis is, if he can brainwash the residents of Ron Town to this extent, the whole Ron Town can be said to be Louis's backyard.

Even if the royal family of Turin outlawed Louis's title, he would not be able to rule the town of Ron, which can be said to be a country within a state.

The two chatted for a while, and saw that the convoy had crossed the shallow forest, and when the carriage had gradually stabilized, Kevin returned to the carriage.

By this time the convoy had reached the second half of the canyon, the mountain was steep, the cliffs on both sides were like splints, and the wind howled in the valley, which looked a little gloomy.

At the top of the cliff, behind a huge rock, carved a strange rune, composed of black irregular lines, seemed to carry some kind of mysterious power.

A man with a staff stared at the convoy driving through the valley, his left hand rubbing a black rune that flickered violently as he moved.

Behind the man lay more than a hundred soldiers armed with scimitars, their bodies tense and without making a sound, like cheetahs hiding in the grass.

Unaware, the convoy below slowly drove into the middle of the valley.

It's now!" A glint flashed in the man's eyes, and the staff in his hand glowed intensely, and the black runes shattered directly.

Pulled by a mysterious force, the huge rock slowly rolled forward, and with a great momentum, rolled down from the top of the cliff.

Bang!!

The earth and rocks splashed, and the earth trembled.

Several sergeants who could not dodge were hit by boulders falling from the sky, and before they could let out a shout, even men and horses were smashed into pulp.

The deafening sound echoed repeatedly through the valley, creating sound waves visible to the naked eye, and all of them experienced brief tinnitus.

The horses were so frightened that their hooves raised high and threw the riders to the ground.

Kevin, who was in the carriage, was oozing blood from his ears, and he straightened up with a strong feeling of dizziness, holding the cross sword and skull in his hands.

Randall and Hulk were the first to recover, pulling the other sergeants up from the ground lying on the ground.

Kevin looked out the window and saw huge rocks lying across the valley, completely blocking the way for the convoy to retreat.
