After that, Yulian and the others never encountered any troubles and problems again. However, after they returned to the hotel, Custer came and quietly approached Yuren, saying that the group they were escorting wanted to talk to Yuren face to face. But Yulian didn't agree to the other party's request, of course he understood what the idiots were thinking, and Custer knew his identity, and he must have thought that he had a powerful helper. In their opinion, as long as they and Ofariel come forward to support them, then they can rightfully return to the Zach family and get the position of patriarch. They thought it was beautiful, but Yulian didn't have this intention at all, so naturally he wouldn't waste time dealing with them again.

But that doesn't mean the other party doesn't want to deal with him.

Early the next morning, Yulian and the others left this small border city and continued to march towards their destination, of course he knew very well that those nobles did not let him go, but seeing that since Yulian was going to the territory of the Zack family, there was no need to rush for a while. After all, most of their forces are in the inner regions rather than those border towns, so since Yulian will come, they just need to wait without moving, and it would be good to take advantage of this time to gather information about these two people.

The road from the border city to the hinterland of the plain is not as smooth as everyone thinks, and not every lord will know the truth of building a road before becoming rich like Yulian, so the quality of the road cannot be compared with the twilight forest, so that everyone is a little miserable along the way, especially Offariel, even in her previous life, she only walked around the city near the center of the kingdom, where the infrastructure construction is very good, naturally I didn't expect that there is such a difficult road in this world, although the road condition before the twilight forest is also poor, but after all, it is far away from the city, a remote place, and it is normal to have no construction。 But O'Faril didn't expect that the construction situation in such a territory would be so bad. Along the way, the poor princess only felt that half of her life was about to be bumpy.

"Holy grace is above, I thought death itself was a very painful thing. ”

After a bumpy day, Ofariel finally couldn't bear to stop the convoy, and according to the plan, they should have made another midnight journey and a short rest after reaching the town ahead. However, no one thought that the road conditions here were so bad, not to mention Her Royal Highness the princess, even Yulian and Custer and others were a little unbearable. So they also agreed with Ofariel's opinion, if this continues, even if they reach their destination, I am afraid that the state of everyone will not be much better.

"It used to be a flat avenue. ”

Custer looked amusefully at the road not far away, which was now full of weeds and rocks, and it was a punishment for the carriage to walk on it.

"I heard that the damned country destroyed this continent after the defeat of the war, and it seems that it has not been repaired for so long. ”

"What if there is a war?"

Hearing this, Ofariel, who was sitting next to the fire, frowned slightly, she was still admiring the beautiful night in the wilderness suburbs, but after hearing Custer's words, she immediately retracted her mind.

"With such road conditions, there is no way to transport troops, and if something happens, even if you want to transfer at that time, it will take a lot of time. ”

"That's not something we can care about, Miss. ”

Custer replied with a smile, glancing at Ofaryl in front of him, from the color of her hair, he was sure that this young lady was from the royal family, so it was not surprising that she would care about these things, but he didn't think much about these problems, after all, things like roads are too common, and ordinary people don't care about them at all.

"Maybe the city lord there doesn't have the money to repair it, after all, it costs a lot of money to build a road, and it can't get back any investment, so a small city like this may not think about this aspect at all. ”

Hearing this, Yulian raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, but turned his gaze away and looked at another figure that appeared from the darkness. Noticing his gaze, Ofariel and Custer also stopped talking, and looked at his gaze, but they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Standing in front of them was a child who was not yet ten years old, and he was the heir of the Zach family guarded by the attendants, the young master. At this moment, I saw him with a trace of restraint on his face, shyly walked in front of everyone, raised his head, and had a slightly uneasy look on his immature face.

"Hello, Master Zack, it's so late, what's the matter with us?"

You Lian asked, and at the same time couldn't help but look at the fire next to him, at this time, everyone had already had dinner, it should have been time to rest, and what did this little young master plan to do when he came to the door alone?

"Hello............ Dear sir, and this beautiful young lady. ”

The little boy blushed, and said with some hesitation in a noble etiquette that was not too regular at Yulian and Ofarir.

"I......... I'm here to thank you both for helping me, and if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'm ......... I'm afraid I'm going to be caught by those bad guys. ”

"Please don't worry, Master Zack. ”

In response to the boy's words, Yulian replied with a smile.

"We have made an agreement that we will return you to your family safely......... Please rest assured that although there may be some troubles on the way, these small troubles will not cause any hindrance to us. ”

Hearing this, a hint of excitement flashed in the little boy's eyes, and he smiled and nodded.

"Thank you both for your kindness, and if I can return to my family safe and sound, I will definitely repay you...............!"

"It's late at night. ”

Yuren interrupted the boy.

"It is very dangerous for you to stay outside, I suggest you go back to your carriage and rest, everyone is very tired on the way, and it is not too late to wait until tomorrow to talk about anything. Saying this, Yu Lian's gaze shifted to the girl beside him. "Miss O'Faryl, please send him back, for after all, it's not good for a little child to happen to him. ”

"Of course. ”

Hearing Yuren's order, Offariel nodded, and then she stood up and gave the boy a gentle smile.

"Then, please come with me, the night wind is very cold, be careful not to catch a cold. ”

"I'm very strong, sister, this little wind is fine!"

Seeing O'Faryl stretch out his hand, the boy also smiled excitedly, he proudly puffed up his small chest, and then took O'Faryl's hand and walked towards the guards belonging to the Zack family not far away.

"What a fun kid. ”

Yuren withdrew his gaze and looked at Custer beside him.

"Who have they been in contact with all this time?"

"The brothers are watching very closely, my lord, they have not had any contact with anyone, and those fellows obediently follow your orders, and stay in their rooms and do not go out much. ”

Custer quickly replied that he had done his best to win Yuren's trust during this time. Then he looked at Offariel and the boy again, the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

"It's just that I didn't expect that kid to be a natural color embryo. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, You Lian was stunned for a moment.

"How?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. ”

Custer smiled.

"It's just that the brothers often see him doing things to the maids in the hotel, touching his ass or something......... I don't know how the Zack family gave birth to such a little pervert, this is not even ten years old, it is so eccentric, and when she grows up, it is estimated that the woman in this territory will be unlucky........."

"Lust is a man's natural surname. ”

Yu Lian's answer was quite reasonable.

"Reacting to beautiful female surnames is a sign of respect for their charm, and now I just hope that this young master's aesthetic vision is not too low......... But it's good not to be too high. ”

"Your Excellency, you are a wonderful saying. ”

When he heard the phrase, "Responding to beautiful women is respecting them", Custer's face changed slightly, and if it weren't for the need to maintain a certain degree of humility in front of his master, he would have laughed out loud.

"What kind of women does this young master come into contact with? I don't want him to do the same to Ofaryl. ”

"This ..............."

I didn't expect Yulian to suddenly ask this question inexplicably, but it made Custer stunned for a moment, and he recalled it carefully for a while before answering.

"It's the maid who cleaned up the room, oh yes, and last night, he got a dancing girl entangled........."

"Those guys didn't care about him?"

"Looking at the way they look at that little young master, they are simply respectful and afraid, where do they dare to care. ”

Custer snorted coldly, looking at those people with a little disdain in his eyes.

"Being called around like this by a half-sized ghost without even the slightest complaint, I don't know if they are still men, whether they are swordsmen. ”

"It's late at night, it's time for you to go rest and pay attention to the shift change. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Hearing this, Custer knew that there was no need for him to stay any longer, originally he came over after dinner to get along with Yuren and Ofariel, after all, although the identities of the two sides are different, but now they are in the wild, and they can be regarded as having a relatively harmonious relationship. If you don't take this opportunity, when you return to the castle, you will have fewer chances to find such a close encounter with the two adults. You must know that they are only guards in the Twilight Forest, and they do not have the right to enter the Twilight Castle at all, and if they don't take this opportunity to attack, then everything will be in vain.

But now it seems that the harvest is not small, so Custer didn't say anything more, hurriedly turned around and left, he had already arranged for the people to keep watch near the convoy, and now he naturally wanted to go on patrol to see if those guys had messed up their instructions, after all, the outskirts of the wild are still very dangerous, if there is anything in case, then it will be difficult for him to explain.

Seeing Custer leave, Yulian did not stay by the fire, but turned and walked into the carriage, although the space for the nobles was a little smaller, but it was still very warm and comfortable, and the heavy walls blocked the cold wind of the night, which was also a good place to rest. The only fly in the ointment is that resting in such a small compartment and not being able to stretch your body is also a nuisance.

"Click. ”

Returning to the carriage and sitting back on the soft and comfortable seat, Yulian drew his long sword and carefully observed the pitch-black blade, and as the blade was unsheathed, a faint white light reappeared, and this time, it was still wrapped around the blade in a strange way. But unlike before, if you look closely, you will find that within the writhing white light, a face with a painful expression emerges from time to time, and under the surge of energy, it appears and disappears like driftwood swallowed by waves, opening its mouth wide and screaming, making a mournful cry that ordinary people cannot hear.

"It's a bit of a waste. ”

Yuren stared at the soul light in front of him, thought about it for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Forget it, it's nothing, high-level souls can be found again in the future......... It's not bad anyway!"

With Yu Lian's words, suddenly, the white aura hovering over the sword began to twist violently, as if it wanted to break free from the shackles, but its resistance only lasted for a moment, and then, the white aura shrank suddenly, completely sucked into it by the pitch-black long sword. And with the disappearance of the aura, You Lian's right hand and arm, which was originally holding the sword, suddenly bulged, and the originally thin and slender arm was now like a balloon, and the sudden blood vessels and muscles seemed to have life in the skin, deformed, and swelled to the thickness of a bowl, and then under You Lian's gaze, the bulging arm immediately shrank, and returned to its original thin form.

"That's all there is to it for the time being. ”

You Lian retracted his sword and gently moved the fingers of his right hand, he stroked the long sword, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm sorry, old friend, it looks like I'm going to have to grieve you for a while. ”

Yuren muttered to himself, then put away his sword and looked up. Just then, the door of the carriage opened again, and Ofaril slipped into the carriage like a kitten with an elegant soul, and smiled at him.

"What did you find?"

Yuren didn't have a clue in his words, but Ofariel clearly understood what he meant.

"He's playing with me. ”

The girl shook her head and sighed softly.

"I didn't tell him who I really was, but he introduced me to the guards..............."

"Naïve little ghost. ”

Hearing this, Yulian lowered his head and shrugged his shoulders.

"What do you think he's going to do?"

"Exactly what we wanted to do to him. ”

There was a slight shadow in Ofariel's blue eyes.

"I think we might be in trouble. ”

"Trouble is sure, but it's not unsolvable. ”

Yu Lian snorted coldly.

"Ofariel, I've handed over this little devil to you for the time being, take a good look at our cargo and see how much he's worth. If this young master does not meet the standards we expect, then we will have to find a new buyer to work with. ”
