Chapter 7: The Journey

Kevin nodded, the Misty Forest is one of the famous wonders of the Kingdom of Turin, the forest is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, like a fairyland, especially in summer, the fog is unusually thick. There must be a special directional pointer to guide you through it, and you can be attacked by monsters at any time.

Except for mercenaries and adventurers, no one will choose to walk through the misty forest during the summer months.

"In that case, let's go the first way. Kevin said with a smile.

As the servants loaded the last barrel full of food into the car, the preparation of the convoy was officially completed, and Randall motioned for Kevin to go.

There was no tedious farewell ceremony, Simon just watched the convoy go from afar.

Kevin knew that this was not a slack, Simon had been deeply influenced by his military career and had not yet been corrupted by aristocratic life.

......

Between the inaccessible mountains, wisps of black cooking smoke rise.

A large team was cooking on a fire, with a large amount of garbage scattered next to it, apparently having been there for days.

They were all armed with scimitars, and although they were dressed like bandits, they dined in an orderly manner, and gathered around the campfire in groups of ten without making any unnecessary noise.

At the front of the line stood two men, one of whom was a burly man with a scar on his face that extended to his neck.

Another man, shrouded in a black robe and with a dangerous aura, was stroking the kitten in his arms.

"Meow"

The black cat barked comfortably.

Scarface asked, "Captain, they've been staying for two days, why haven't they set off yet, has someone leaked the news?"

"The brothers are all here, and it is impossible for the plan to be leaked. The black-robed man shook his head, as if he couldn't bear to say, "If they don't set off again, we will have to risk storming the castle." If it really comes to this, I am afraid that no brother will leave Turin alive. ”

Scarface said with a fanatical face: "From the moment we take on this task, we are ready to die, the men of the empire are not cowards!"

Suddenly, the kitten's hair in the arms of the black robe stood on end, and he broke free from the embrace of the black robe and jumped onto the tree, and his dark green pupils turned black.

It went so far as to say, "They're out, they're ready to go." ”

"Haha, isn't this coming!" the black-robed man laughed, "Amanda, go tell the brothers to clean up the traces left behind and get ready to go." ”

.......

In the evening, the endless grassland is clothed in a glow coat, the orange-red light spreads to the end of the horizon, and the sound of horse-drawn carriages echoes in the sky.

The breeze was blowing, and Kevin, who was lying in the carriage, looked leisurely into the distance. The convoy had been on the Wayne meadow for three days, and the initial excitement of the journey had long since been worn out, and the scenery was so uniform that he couldn't be excited.

The carriage he is now riding in was a gift from Simon, the body is made of hard black nannan wood, and the carriage has been converted into a miniature bedroom.

Esther sat on the edge of the bed, chattering to Kevin about the excitement of the journey.

He said to Esther with some headache, "Are you on your first trip?"

"Yes, I've lived in a castle since I was a child. She said with some embarrassment.

"Then why did you come out with me this time?"

Esther shook her fair and slender legs and thought for a moment, "Forget it, I'm coming out anyway, I'll tell you." ”

"I was born with a defect, no matter how much I trained, I couldn't become a knight, and I couldn't inherit my father's title. If I stay in the castle, I will only become a tool for marriage in the future, and I don't want to live like this. ”

Although Esther's tone was light, Kevin was aware of the sadness in her heart.

The life of the aristocracy, although luxurious and erosive, was also synonymous with strength. Even the nobles who dot on their children will not let a powerless waste inherit the title, because the ruler of this world does not rely on the power of the system, but on his own extraordinary force.

The reality is so cruel, and only by mastering great power can you gain true freedom in the world.

Kevin rubbed little Lori's head, and Esther wanted to dodge, but his strength was too great to break free.

He comforted: "If Uncle Simon can agree to you coming out, he must support you, don't think about it." ”

"You're younger than me, pretending to be an adult!" said Esther, indignantly, and ran out of the carriage with her head in her hands.

Kevin smiled and stopped talking.

During the trip, he practiced swordsmanship almost all of them, and he didn't have the excitement of a child's outing, and Kevin comforted her in the tone of an elder, which made her feel rebellious.

As the night grew darker, the mountains and rivers in the distance were hidden in ink, and the convoy could no longer move.

"Young Master, are you looking for a place to camp now?" Randall's voice came from the window.

"Good. ”

A clearing of land was cleared, and some cavalrymen removed cooking utensils such as barbecue grills, boiler cutlery, and seasonings from their vehicles.

White held a glass bottle in his hand and sprinkled a circle of yellow powder around the perimeter of the clearing, which emitted a pungent smell.

The Ween Meadows are often infested with skeletal wolves, which rely on their keen sense of smell to feed. The smell of this yellow powder is disgusting to the wolf, and greatly reduces the probability of being attacked.

Despite being on the edge of the Venn steppe, large wolf packs are rare.

"Crackle"

The sergeants were veterans of survival in the wilderness, and within five minutes, a yellow bonfire was burning in the middle of the clearing.

Esther brought a valet named Ivan, who was slightly chubby. He was cleaning up the ingredients, and his hands were throwing things into the boiler from time to time.

The aroma of carrots, greens, minced meat and spices mixed in the oven filled the camp, and everyone sat around the campfire talking and laughing, adding a touch of life to the silent grassland.

Hulk saw that the convoy was running out of firewood, and went to the distant mountains and forests with a giant axe and a few soldiers to collect firewood.

Kevin didn't get involved, he lay quietly in the car and read the notes on Cleaver Fencing.

This sword book was created by one of the ancestors of the Norton family, and has been greatly improved by later generations.

At first, he was afraid that "Cleaver Fencing" would be esoteric and obscure, but when he read it, he found that there were also superficial parts in it, which made him feel like a treasure. The commentary contains the experience and painstaking efforts of the family's cultivators over the generations, which greatly broadens his understanding of kendo.

As he turned the next page, his elbow accidentally touched the black box at the head of the bed.

I don't know what material the box is made of, it is extremely strong, invulnerable, invulnerable. In three days, he had tried many methods and did not open the box.

Kevin suddenly had a whim, he bit his finger and dripped blood on the box.

There was a scorching touch from the palm of the hand, and the beast pattern carving on the top of the box instantly turned red, sliding out from the top, revealing the opening.
