As Eren drew his black steel sword and roared past him, Sersi felt a chill run down his spine, and the first thing he thought was that there was a brown bear with its front paws raised behind him, pounced on him with its bloody mouth wide open. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But that's not the case. I saw him dodge sideways, turned to look behind him, and the only thing that could be seen was Allen holding his sword, and the rest were only overgrown bushes and dark and quiet forests.

"What do you see?!" Mike drew his sword as well. He was naked, and his eagle eyes kept scanning the enemies around him that might appear.

"Two glowing orbs," Eren said, holding the black steel sword sideways and retreating to Sercy's side, "like the eyes of a beast, though only in a flash, I can see it clearly, just behind you." ”

"Why didn't it attack?" Sersi looked around, and Allen's words were like a gust of cold wind, and he felt the chill on his back turn into a cold sweat.

"Maybe it doesn't look like you're smelly!" Allen quipped, putting away his black steel sword.

"We need to make a fire so that the beasts don't dare to come near. Mike put away his saber and proposed.

"I'll leave the task of lighting the fire to you, and Sersi and I will go get some dinner and come back. Alan patted Sersi on the shoulder, then turned to Mike and said, "Don't go too far, take care of our horses." ”

"Rest assured. ”

As the moon climbed the branches, the trio gathered around a campfire to feed on a buffalo cub, with Mike eating two-thirds of the staggering amount and the remaining third burping Alan and Cercy feeling like they were eating in their throats.

After the meal, Alan and Selsi set up their tent with thick sticks and oil leaves on an old wooden stick held by three people, while Mike picked up some dry wood from outside and added it to the campfire to expel the darkness.

"Guys, we're afraid we'll have to talk about the sentry post. After setting up the tent, Alan walked over to the campfire and sat down.

"I swore allegiance to the Dalton family, and now that Kenny's whereabouts are unknown, you are my leader from now on. Mike said as he piled the rest of the dry wood aside.

"Don't say that, man," Alan quickly shook his head, "I think you're cursing Kenny, I don't want him to be missing forever." ”

"If Mike is okay, then it's up to you to assign it. Sersi picked up the conversation.

Alan hesitated for a moment. "If you're willing," he shrugged, "how about Mike in the first half of the night, me in the second half of the night, and you're in charge of the early morning and his breakfast?"

"Yes. Sersi nodded immediately.

"I'm okay with that. Mike said, wiping his saber with an old cloth.

"Okay, let's talk about something else now, or we can rest early and get up early tomorrow. Allen's gaze shuttled between the two, "Would you rather the former or the latter?"

"Don't waste precious breaks, just say what you want to say. Sersi replied quickly.

"I thought about it all the way and came up with a somewhat risky proposal....." Allen looked across the campfire and at Sercy, "White concluded that the witch who designed him was the former Assyrian queen, and if we did find the witch, there would be a good chance of meeting the Assyrian queen, right?"

"To the point, my eyelids are already fighting, man. Sersi yawned.

"I guess White's real intention in finding the witch was not to get rid of the alien soul that coexisted with him, but to find the queen of Assyria and cut the grass to the roots, which is what he really wanted to do. Alan continued.

"What do you mean....." Mike frowned.

"I mean, instead of helping that guy achieve his goal, we should swear allegiance to the Queen. Allen made a bold proposal, "Of course, it's only temporary, the reason we fell into the net is just to get a moment of peace, but it's like a huge scam, we are being deceived by Hyde at the same time, we are also being played with by Wilson and applauded, and now there is another White-"

"You want to restore the Queen?" Sersi interrupted suddenly.

"That's right!" Alan nodded, "just as we overthrew Patton's regime in the first place, and we can do it now." He smiled confidently, "At that point, we will be able to search for Kenny's whereabouts without fear of being attacked by enemy forces." Not only that, Assyria and Nipur will become an alliance of the Iron Party, and the queen will definitely be willing to pay for us to rebuild the city of Nippur!"

"Well, great offer!" Sersi nodded heavily, then stood up from the campfire. "Listen, man. He yawned and said, "Just think about it, don't put it on the agenda." ”

"Why?" Alan cocked his head.

"Ninety percent of Assyria is forest, and there is no army on this continent that can fight the Iron Forest in the forest, and they have ten thousand ways to defeat you. Serci explained with a drooping eyelid.

"Well, if you say so. Alan shrugged and turned to Mike, "Good night, man." ”

"Good night. ”

Half a quarter of an hour later. Alan couldn't sleep on the bed made of dry straw for a long time, and Selcie was already snoring for a long time, and he finally forgot about White and the witch, and Shelley's whereabouts came to his mind one after another.

As a result, Shelley's figure kept appearing in front of him. She seemed to say something, but the figure was blurred, sometimes clear, and finally Mike's whisper.

He got up and sat down by the campfire and continued to ponder Shelley's whereabouts until the campfire turned to embers and dawn came, without receiving any answer. He had to wake Sersi and fall asleep with his eyelids as if they were filled with lead.

As the sun rose, Allen's head felt heavy from the pain of a sleepless night, his feet felt like he was on cotton, and after eating the wild fruit that Sersi had picked out of nowhere, he followed the energetic two men on their horses.

They descended the slopes of the dense forest valley, the terrain was not steep, and the tender green of the mountains was dotted with yellowing spring and fiery red chestnut flowers. Among them, the deer and several bison crashed into the field of vision of the three men, and when they saw them, they did not run away, and Sersi also noticed an arrogant male lion, with his lazy eyes, watching the three of them go away. He guessed that this was the most primeval forest, undisturbed by humans, so the animals could be so leisurely.

As the sun rose overhead, the path became steeper, and they continued along a forest stream with many stones and tall sunflowers growing from the bushes.

After a while, two forks in the road appeared, separated by a cliff. They dismounted and stepped on the edge of the cliff, and when they looked down, there was a bottomless valley below, and if they fell, it seemed that they would never fall to the end.

The three of them had to take out the map again and use the stupidest method. Take an axe and cut down a tree, and tell the direction from the rings above.

"If the forest keeper is not lying, go from the right, which is due south of the forest. Sersi put down his axe and pointed up to the descent to the right.

"Let's go, I don't want to spend the night in this damn forest anymore!" Mike said, spinning into his horse.

"Wait!" Alan suddenly shouted. He crouched down, stared at the mossy by the stump, then stood up and looked around.

"Don't be surprised, okay?" said Sersi, hanging his axe to the saddle.

"No....." Alan beckoned to the two of them, "Come, come, guys, I think these footprints are a little strange....."
