The wheels turned slowly, and the heavy carriage was full of people, pulled by two horses, on the not very wide road, and next to the carriage, a carriage that looked a little smaller in size was following at an unhurried pace, and at the front of the carriage, the old man dressed as a butler leaned slightly against the door, as if he was taking a nap.

The two horse-drawn carriages, which seemed to be unsuspecting, walked on an inconspicuous path, seemingly ignorant of the dangers that lurked in the darkness.

No, maybe you know, or not!

There was a slight sound of metal grinding on the larger carriage, accompanied by a slightly heavy panting, but anyone with the slightest experience would know that it was the sound of a weapon unsheathed.

The old man, who was supposed to be taking a nap, seemed to have just heard that kind of movement, squinted at the carriage next to him, and when he noticed the figure sitting in the carriage, his eyes that had just opened a gap closed slightly—the old man who could easily sense all the movements around him, and even didn't need to make any effort to control the direction of the carriage at all.

Perhaps noticing the old man's eyes, the young man who had been sitting in the carriage next to him from the beginning sat up slightly straight, and at the same time couldn't help but lean his body in the direction of the car door behind him, as if there was some power that could make him feel at ease.

Strange noises began to be heard on both sides of the road, not the kind of movement that can be heard in the autumn and summer when you are chilling in the mountains, but a chaotic sound like snoring, reminiscent of those terrible monsters that can tear people apart.

The young man had a solemn look on his face, and the long sword that should have been worn at his waist had long been held tightly in his hand, and his vigilant eyes swept over both sides of the road from time to time, guarding against those predators who suddenly pounced.

Even merchants who had never been to this place knew what kind of danger and battle lurked behind those seemingly ordinary grasses, and how many terrible eyes were staring at the unfortunate ones who passed by in the dark depths where they could not see the concrete situation—the charred and broken corpses that could be seen from time to time on both sides of the road, telling people that the natives here were indeed welcoming, even if that enthusiasm was a disaster that ordinary humans could not afford to bear.

But they eventually made their way to the place, and after being guided by a caravan through the indecidable fork in the road, the caravan, consisting of only two carriages, came to a halt in front of a path that seemed to be very deserted.

Even the scattered merchants they met on the road quietly reminded them that the road here is very dangerous!

The reason why such a decision was made was not unrelated to the man who was sitting in the carriage at the moment - I don't know for what reason, although it was clear that the road to the imperial capital was a little slower, but as the actual commander of the team, the man still gave such an order a little stubbornly.

Do you want to exercise me? The young man named Roger, who was sitting outside the carriage, turned his head slightly sideways and glanced behind him, and then comforted himself in his heart.

He wants to become a disciple of Yi Fan, although he has not achieved his goal until now, but after this period of getting along, he has already discovered that although Yi Fan didn't say anything in his mouth, and still let himself learn the knowledge of magic from Oselle, but he often took advantage of his own inattention to quietly pay attention to the progress of his learning - this is what a girl named Artoria quietly told herself, and Roger didn't think that such a girl would also lie.

Whew, if only that were the case! Roger, who couldn't help but sigh again, had a complicated look on his face.

He was clear about Yi Fan's strength, and the few battles he had seen with his own eyes had confirmed his inner conjecture, so for Roger, who longed to have great power, being able to become an existence valued by that man was naturally something he extremely expected.

At this moment, the predators hiding in the shadows seemed to be unable to hold back, and with a sharp beast cry, a monster that looked like a wolf but had a boar-like head rushed out from the side of the road.

And with the movement of the monster, the other kinders who had already hidden around also rushed out at once, and surrounded the two carriages in it from all sides, and the mouth that exposed its fangs made an ugly cry, and large drops of saliva flowed down the mouth to the ground, making a disgusting ticking sound.

This is a special magical beast called Fire Wolf Pig, although the strength is also the lowest level among the magical beasts, but because they are born with a little basic fire magic, so when they appear in groups, they are far more powerful than ordinary magical beasts.

Under normal circumstances, if you fight under exactly the same circumstances, then a junior swordsman can easily defeat one or several fire wolf pigs, after all, except for the simple fire magic, the combat power of the fire wolf pig is not much stronger than that of ordinary beginner magic beasts, even if it is just a well-equipped soldier composed of ordinary humans, if commanded properly, it can easily annihilate a group of fire wolf pigs with a similar number of them.

However, that's just under normal circumstances, when the number is enough to become the existence of the crushing force balance, even if it's just such a fire wolf pig, it is enough to become one of the most ferocious demonic beasts on the continent!

And for the current Roger, the current situation is naturally such an unfavorable situation, the number of fire wolves and pigs is more than twenty tightly surrounding the carriage they are in, so that he has to be in such a situation where he has to fight them!

But don't back down!Whew, this is my fight today!Looking at the monsters that were looking at him vigilantly, slowly moving their pace, and pressing towards this side, Roger exhaled heavily, and then stood up from the carriage.

I don't know where Yi Fan got the long sword given to Roger, he held it tightly in his hand, and the blade of the sword flashed with a cold cold light, reflecting the slightly nervous face of the young man, after all, even if he had trained as quickly as possible under the supervision of Oselli and Yi Fan, his current realm was only touching the edge of a junior swordsman, and he was not even a real warrior.

Come on! But you fellows, you can't stop me!" Roger jumped out of the carriage and began to walk towards the fiery wolf pigs that surrounded him in a semicircle.

......

In the open field, suddenly there was a rapid beast cry, and then with a slightly childish cry, there were several successive beast screams and wails.

The next moment, the firelight that lit up the sky suddenly lit up, and red fireballs that seemed to pierce the sky continued to fly from there.

In the carriage, Yi Fan and Caroline both seemed to be sitting in it ordinarily, but if you look carefully, you will find that under the deliberately calm expressions of these people, there are actually all kinds of other feelings hidden, obviously everyone is thinking about something.

"Hey, Yi Fan, do you really let Roger deal with those demonic beasts alone? You must know that he hasn't even reached the level of a junior swordsman now, if he is allowed to go alone, it is really ......" Although she said that she didn't want to admit that Roger was her student, and she didn't seem to be able to accept such an identity setting psychologically, but maybe because everyone had been together for so long, in her heart, her opinion of Roger had changed a little.

Probably regarded him as a younger brother, right?

However, Yi Fan did not make any response to Osili's inquiry, or rather, since he made the decision to embark on this path at the beginning, Yi Fan has not paid much attention to the inquiries of the people around him, and it seems that people can't help but wonder if they have fallen asleep.

Yi Fan, who seemed to have his eyes closed, didn't know what he was thinking, and he looked completely unaware of what was happening outside, but if he really wanted to look, he could clearly know that he was still awake, but he didn't know why he was like this.

On the contrary, Princess Caroline, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be a little concerned after hearing Oselle's inquiry, so she couldn't help but open the curtain next to her.

"Osily, if you don't worry, you can go and help take a look first, if something goes wrong, it will be too late at that time. Probably expecting that Yi Fan would not respond to Oselle's inquiry, after glancing at the situation of Roger's battle outside, Caroline turned to Oselle and said.

She naturally knew Oselle's scruples, after this girl had such a memory, she was obviously very sensitive to such a thing as losing someone again, and the reason why she didn't directly help Roger was actually worried about whether Yi Fan had some hidden purpose here.

"Well, I'll keep an eye on the situation outside, and if I need to, I'll be the first to take action. Hearing Caroline's words, Osili couldn't help but glance at Yi Fan again, and after finding that the latter still didn't move, she finally whispered with a little dissatisfaction.

For her, Yi Fan's current performance is really too weird!

However, Artoria, who was also in the carriage, seemed to have noticed something a long time ago, so although she was puzzled by Yi Fan's behavior, she didn't say anything, just quietly paid attention to the movement outside.

There was also a strong man with the strength of the Sword Master level on the carriage next door, so Roger's life was not in any danger, and for Artoria, what she needed to guard against was something else, the malice that had been making her vaguely uncomfortable since a long time ago!
