Overhead is a line of sky, the deep valley is densely covered with jungle, from time to time there are cries of birds and beasts, echoing for a long time, showing the tranquility of the valley.

At this time, the two figures overcame all the thorns and made a bold move all the way.

Walking in front was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl, holding a steel long sword, and the emblem of Master Yun on the hilt of the sword was particularly conspicuous. Every time the girl slashes out, the vines and trees fall together, and their strength is so great and precise that it is the power of a formal knight.

The other was a young man who was also around sixteen years old, using a stainless steel short sword, which was also produced by Master Fang Yun. The boy shuttled swiftly through the grass and trees, swinging the short sword in his hand from time to time, clean and neat, without taking away a leaf.

"How far is it from the cold pool?" the girl's resolute gaze looked into the distance, where the sun was sliding to the west, not far from sinking.

"It's about five or six hours away. The boy's pale blue eyes swept over the girl, and a hint of amusement flashed on her handsome face.

The boy is none other than Alan.

The girl's name is Miranda Hill, who was originally a small nobleman in the eastern city of Budapest, but her family was in the middle of the road, her father died early, and her mother was seriously ill, and she urgently needed ice mushroom to save her life. Although ice mushroom grass is not as magical as an epiphany, it is also rare to see.

Somehow, she learned that there was ice grass growing on the edge of the cold pool in Mambreth Canyon, and Miranda first issued a mission in the mercenary guild to obtain ice grass. Because the commission for the mission is not high, and there are many dangers in the Mambreth Canyon, the gains outweigh the losses, and no one wants to take the task. As a last resort, Miranda, who has the strength of an official knight, had no choice but to change her mission, seek a guide, and prepare to go to the cold water pool in person.

It happened that Alan was doing an alchemy experiment, and he needed tarantula venom from Mambres Canyon, and he deliberately went to take it. With the attitude of giving it a try, Alan checked the tasks of the Mercenary Guild and wanted to brush down the tasks by the way, and after some searching, he took Miranda's tasks.

Alan thought to himself that with the information on the Mambres Canyon recorded by the chip, it would be okay to be a guide.

According to the mission of the mercenary guild, the two met.

Miranda thought that the person who would take the task would be a middle-aged uncle or a sturdy old man, the kind of middle- and high-level mercenaries who seem to be very experienced, which is the most basic condition for accepting the task, after all, Mambres Canyon is notorious, and low-level mercenaries often can't get out as soon as they enter.

However, the kid on the other side is obviously about the same age as himself, and looking at the task prompt of the Mercenary Guild, the person who took the task was an intermediate mercenary with deep qualifications and no breach record, how could he be a teenager.

Probably the young man on the other side is someone from the middle-level mercenary, but it's just that the task is clear, and we have to meet today, so that we can prepare the travel materials first, and the middle-level mercenary is too upright.

Miranda thought.

"May I ask who you are from Allen's mercenary, why didn't he come today? I wanted to ask him what supplies to prepare. Miranda's words did not hide her dissatisfaction with Alan's mercenaries.

"Well, I'm Mercenary Alan. Alan thought it was a little funny, which was underestimated, and she was also an elegant and refined beauty.

After saying that, Alan saw helplessly, and the beautiful woman opposite looked stunned, as if she still didn't believe that he was the mercenary Allen.

"How? Can you take a look at your mercenary badge?"

"Well, no problem. Alan put his hand into his arms and pretended to take something, in fact, the moment he reached into his clothes, the mercenary badge was already in his hand.

"Here, this is my mercenary badge. Alan handed the mercenary badge to Miranda for inspection.

Miranda took the badge suspiciously, the other party didn't seem to be lying, and then looked at the badge carefully, the brass panel was impressively engraved with two stars, and the number at the bottom also matched the mercenary number of the mission, which was the badge of the intermediate mercenary Allen.

"Please forgive me for my presumptuousness, I really didn't expect you to be so ...... Young!" After confirming it again and again, Miranda had to admit that the young man opposite was the mercenary Allen who took over the task he had sent.

The Mambres Gorge is southwest of the city of Budapest, and it took the two men two days to reach the entrance to the canyon. Along the way, Miranda didn't know whether to be happy or worried, although she was still a little incredulous in her heart, but she covered it up well, just hoping that Alan could be more reliable, otherwise this trip would be a big problem.

Alan didn't care, taking on mercenary tasks was just a whim, and in the past five years, he has also taken on some mercenary tasks from time to time and went out to practice. On the one hand, he deepens his understanding of the world, and on the other hand, he can experiment and practice his ideas in the wild. Rao is like this, Allen's mercenary experience has also been slowly rising, and he has reached the standard of a mid-level mercenary a year ago. When receiving the task again, the service staff of the Mercenary Guild reminded me to change the mercenary badge.

If it weren't for seeing the mission description, knowing what happened to Miranda, and wanting to help out of the same illness, he wouldn't have bothered to bring a burden, even if she has the strength of a full-fledged knight.

"It is rumored that there are evil wizards living in the Mambreth Canyon, are you afraid?" Alan saw that the journey was too dull and boring, and wanted to tease the girl next to him.

"Wizards don't have to be evil, and rumors aren't necessarily credible. Miranda concluded that there was nothing to be afraid of.

"Well, so calm, so strong psychologically. ”

What Alan didn't know was that Miranda had met a wizard when she was young, white-robed and friendly.

Alan carefully cleared the way with a steel dagger in front, and the two of them traveled a little slowly. However, Miranda cared about her mother and couldn't bear it, so after a while, she simply walked to the front and pulled out her long sword to open the way, making it clear that Alan only needed to point out the direction at the right time.

Alan was embarrassed for a while, not knowing what to say. Seeing that Miranda pulled out the long sword that he had forged, he pretended to be curious and asked, "This sword of yours is also made by Master Fang Yun?"

As he spoke, Allen waved his short sword in a gesture, revealing Master Fang Yun's exclusive emblem.

"Well, Master Fang Yun's forging skills have never been seen before, and his works have always been best-sellers, often sold out as soon as they were launched. I still asked a friend to buy this sword. Caressing the long sword in her hand, Miranda looked very fond.

As soon as Master Fang Yun was mentioned, Miranda's words also became more, and her tone was full of admiration for Master Fang Yun.

"Tut, I'm still a fan of my master. Alan was filled with joy.

It's just that if she knew that the idol Master Fang Yun was still the kid next to her, I don't know how she would feel?

With Miranda's long sword to open the way, the speed of the two suddenly became a lot faster.

"The sun is going down, so let's find a place to rest for the night before we go. Allen's eyes probed around, a glimmer of gold flashed in his eyes, and then he pointed to the distance and said, "There is a cave ahead, just to rest." ”

"Okay. Miranda also knew that the canyon at night was dangerous and not suitable for traveling, so she agreed to Alan's suggestion. As for the cave that Eren was talking about, she didn't know where it was, thinking it was from Alan's experience.
