Chapter 38: Back to the city

The two walked around the neighborhood, and Alan showed Miranda the strangeness of the cold pool, and Miranda was frightened and hurried away from the cold pool. Now that they already had the Ice Mushroom, there was no need to linger any longer, and the two soon set out on their way back to the city.

You don't have to go back the way you came, you can leave the canyon as soon as possible by passing directly through the other end of the Mambres Canyon. Miranda was a little scared of this strange place and vowed never to come again.

It's just that the exit at the other end is within the neutral area, and the distance is relatively far, but it is better than safety.

It took a day to finally get out of Mambres Canyon, and both of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking back at the canyon, it is like a crack on the horizon, silent, but shrouded in a fog, mysterious and abnormal.

Without much pause, the two of them quickly headed straight in the direction of Budapest City.

At night, it is inevitable to sleep in the wilderness.

Miranda has been tensing the strings in her head for the past two days, and now she is finally out of the canyon, and she finally relaxes, and she falls asleep directly after a while.

Alan was in good shape, staring at the fire in a daze, probably counting the harvest this time.

The "crackling" bonfire burned very strongly, and before the night was halfway through, the firewood was almost consumed.

"It seems that we need to collect more firewood. Eren got up, planted a secondary protective barrier around him, and went around looking for dead branches.

In the dark night, the screams of the night crows add a touch of horror.

Alan picked up three or two dry branches, and before he knew it, he had crossed the mountain, and their campfire turned out to be at the foot of the mountain.

“...... Take Mesomia first...... Finally, the three parties converged, and in one fell swoop, the deep voice of Budapest ......" floated from the other side of the mountain, as thin as a gnat.

Alan is a formal knight, and his body's induction is stronger than that of ordinary people, and when he heard an intermittent sound in the wind at this time, and mentioned Budapest or something, he was inevitably a little curious.

Alan restrained his breath and quickly ran in the direction where the sound came from with the blessing of the light body technique, without causing a trace of wind and grass.

Under the mountain is a group of black-clothed people, under the scanning of the chip, they all have the strength of formal knights, and there are six leaders who look like intermediate knights.

They were divided into three groups, two middle-level knights each with more than thirty official knights, this force can be said to be very strong, and the defense force of any surrounding city may not be able to stop their attack.

"What is the identity of this group of men in black, those formal knights, it feels weird. Alan pondered.

At this time, the men in black moved one after another, and the three groups left in one direction.

Alan watched the men in black leave, and by the way, let the chip record the characteristics of the men in black, and walked back a moment later.

Back at the camp and adding some firewood, Alan thought about telling Jason what he saw tonight as soon as he got back, I'm afraid that the group of people is not good, and it is better to be prepared than to be caught off guard.

Early the next morning, Alan and Miranda continued on their way.

Miranda misses her mother at home, she can't wait to go back, and Alan also has something on her mind and doesn't want to spend too much time outside, so under the full gallop of the official knight, it originally took three days to travel slowly, but it was compressed into one day by the two.

In the evening, the two of them returned to the city just before the gates closed.

"Alan, thank you, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to come back. At parting, Miranda thanked Alan.

"This is what I should do, it is the duty of a mercenary to share the worries of my employer. "Allen's gentlemanly demeanor is on full display.

"Can I still look for you next time I have a mission?" asked Miranda, who had lost the boldness of a female knight.

"Of course, it's my pleasure to serve you. Alan Waner smiled.

"There will be a date later. ”

"There will be a period later. ”

......

Saying goodbye to Miranda, Alan went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, the lights were on, and the city lord's mansion was crowded, and they didn't know what they were busy with in and out.

The city lord's mansion in the twilight is like a lion that has passed the air, dying of old age.

After the doorman reported, Alan waited in the side hall.

"Could it be that something has happened in the City Lord's Mansion?" Alan couldn't help but think.

"Sorry, Alan, for keeping you waiting. Jason pale and dragged his tired body in.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Allen, curious.

"Haha, there was a little accident. Why are you free to come?"

"There's something I think is a little strange and want to come and tell you. ”

"Oh, Master Allen thinks something strange must be unusual, let's hear it. Jason sat with his legs crossed again, still looking cynical.

"That's right, when I was on a mercenary mission, I came across a group of men in black in the wilderness in a neutral area......" Alan told the story of the encounter with the men in black on the road, and by the way, he also analyzed the strength of those people.

"I think you should be prepared in advance to be ready for an enemy attack. Alan concluded.

"Huh?" Jason stood up after hearing this, and asked with a solemn face, "Six intermediate knights and more than ninety regular knights?" Allen, are you sure you read that right?"

"I have limited eyesight, but I can't be wrong with that, I'm sure. ”

"Then it's a problem. When will the official knight be like a cabbage in the market, don't come out of the capital......" Jason quickly regained his calm expression, after all, he has come this far, and he is not without two brushes.

"And I've always had a feeling that there is something wrong with the official knights, maybe they weren't promoted through normal means. Have you heard of any other ways to spawn full-fledged knights?"

"Something else?" Jason thought for a moment, and immediately thought of a possibility, but he didn't have much time to explain it to Allen.

"Alan, I'm running out on time, so I'll make a long story short. Today, someone attacked the City Lord's Mansion and was repelled by me and my father. But it's not that simple, and when you say that, I feel like someone is plotting against Budapest City. If that's the case, Budapest City will be in a dangerous situation, and you're going to pack your things and run away if it's not right. In addition, don't take this matter outside, I'm afraid of causing panic among the citizens. After saying that, Jason left in a hurry, and it seemed that he should be preparing.

Alan doesn't care, the city of Budapest is gone, and no one can leave the mysterious wizard.

However, Alan does have important things to deal with, and this trip from Mambres Canyon will naturally have a lot of benefits, but it is really useful for him to be able to digest them, otherwise they are all decorations of foreign objects.

Alan didn't stay in the City Lord's Mansion for long, so he went to the Mercenary Guild to hand in the task while it was still dark, and waited until Miranda also went to reply to the mission situation, and this mission could be completed.

After handing in the task, Alan naturally returned to his small courtyard and began a series of preparations.
