Chapter 6: Into the Tiger's Mouth

"I should be able to get to Onika tomorrow. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žfo”

In the early hours of another day, six people sat around the dining table at the inn, each with relaxed expressions.

Last night was uneventful.

Jessica, who said this, obviously hasn't slept well in the past few days.

She clearly didn't understand why she was in the middle of this.

So, a little emaciated.

"Hmm. ”

It was Sovan who answered her.

Sovan's spirits weren't good in the past two days.

"Tonight will be the last pass......" Grant sighed beside him, "Let's get some sleep during the day." ”

"If I were you, I wouldn't have closed my eyes if I were absolutely killed during the day today. ”

Next to him, Raven gave Grant a choked look.

If before, standing as Joey's friend, he couldn't show too much to Grant, then after these three days, Raven really didn't like Grant.

Of the three men, he was the only one shrunk back, which was really embarrassing.

"Don't save up enough energy to ...... at night"

"If there is danger today, it will be daylight. Raven glanced at Grant and sighed a little helplessly, "It's safer at night." ”

"Why ......" Grant was stunned for a moment.

"There is a section of the official road we are going to walk on during the day today through a large forest. Sun Chenghuan glanced at Grant, who was looking at him, and could only explain, "After looking at the map a few days ago, Ruiwen and I determined that when we walked through that forest during the day today, we would definitely encounter something. ”

"What are you going to do?" Grant could only sigh and shake his head.

"Since yesterday, I have changed horses and cars. Raven nodded, "Because the carriage we are sitting in now is protected by steel plates, and ordinary arrows can't shoot in." ”

"What if it's magic?"

"Ask for a lot of blessings. Raven spread her hands.

Jessica and Grant's faces suddenly turned very bad.

"So, let's go in a moment...... Grant, you and Sister Jessica don't have to rush to set off with us, rest for half a day, and then you can take the car arranged by the post station to Onica. Raven looked at Grant's expression and wanted to laugh, but she was too embarrassed to laugh directly, "The four of us can go first." ”

"This ...... Isn't it okay?" Jessica shook her head, although her face was not very good.

"In the event of an attack, a few of us will not be able to protect you. Sun Chenghuan shook his head at Jessica, "It's dangerous for us for you to follow us." For everyone's safety, you and Grant should not go on the road together. ”

"Hmm...... All right. Jessica could only nod.

It's a bit of a shame though......

But there is no way, who makes himself ignorant of martial arts and magic.

"It's just...... Can't we not go?" Grant was still a little reluctant.

"I can't hide from it. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "If we don't go, they will wait." We, on the other hand, are in a hurry, and we must get to Onika as soon as possible. ”

"It's not us, it's just ...... The man in the carriage in the middle. Grant was still a little uneasy.

"You have to be really scared to be like this, just sit here and wait until we are done in Onika and come back. Joey, who was next to her, was about to go berserk, she really felt ashamed, "No one forced you to come along!"

......

After a somewhat unhappy meal, Jessica and Grant said goodbye to Sun Chenghuan and the four of them.

"Actually, you don't have to follow us. ”

Sun Chenghuan said to Suo Wan, who was sitting in the carriage with a nervous expression.

"I believe that if Grant had my level of martial arts, he would be in the carriage by now. Although Suowan looked serious, he still spoke very seriously.

"I don't know you nobles very well. Sun Chenghuan smiled and spit out.

"You will surely be a nobleman in the future. Suowan shook his head with a serious expression, "Moreover, your child will definitely not need to be assessed when he enters the second academy." ”

β€œ...... Thank you. Sun Chenghuan smiled.

Does this mean that he will be able to get at least one count in the future?

"I'm serious. Sovan shook his head, "Seriously, when I was in school before, I always thought you were an opponent, much better than Grant and the like. But after these few days, I realized that it is better to be friends with you. It's a terrible thing to be an enemy. ”

β€œ...... You really think too highly of me. ”

"Jessica has been listening to you for a few days. Yet I am still the nominal leader of our group. Sovan continued to shake his head, "But even I have begun to look at your face and look. There are times when you don't even realize it. It's scary. ”

Sun Chenghuan scratched his hair a little wryly, but didn't say anything.

"If we all go back to Mills in one piece...... I would like to invite you to my coming-of-age birthday party this year. Sovan continued.

"Oh, that's my pleasure......"

"It's my pleasure to have you here. Suowan shook his head, "You should know that nobles don't usually invite outsiders to the coming-of-age ceremony......

"I understand. Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded, "I participated in a coming-of-age ceremony during this year's winter vacation. ”

"Oh, who's who?" Sovan raised an eyebrow.

"A small person, welcoming the coming-of-age ceremony of the daughter of the commander of the Aocheng Guard. Sun Chenghuan said with a smile.

"Daughter?" Suo Wan was stunned.

Noble girls generally don't invite outsiders to their coming-of-age ceremonies, unless they ......

"She's my fiancΓ©e. Sun Chenghuan nodded.

"FiancΓ©e, is her father a viscount or a baron?"

"Baron. ”

"You will marry only one of the daughters of a baron...... Lost. Suo Wan shook his head, "If I were you, I would wait to graduate from the Second Academy, and in two years, I wouldn't be able to marry the daughter of the Murong family." ”

"That doesn't make much sense. Sun Chenghuan smiled and shook his head.

"What...... Suowan's brows furrowed, and then he suddenly remembered, "Is your fiancΓ©e also a very powerful person?"

"It's okay, if it goes well, she should be a fifth-level death mage by now. ”

β€œ...... Coming of age this year?" Suovan had a strange expression on his face.

"Hmm. Sun Chenghuan smiled and nodded.

β€œ...... What kind of place is Yingao City, how come there are so many monsters......"

"It's okay, the son of the city lord of Yingao should have been a fifth-level magician last year. ”

β€œ...... How old is he?"

"I'm supposed to be going to his coming-of-age ceremony next year. Sun Chenghuan said with a smile.

Be quiet.

"I think it's really nice to be friends with you. Sovan sighed.

"Hmm...... If I have the chance, I would like to introduce my eldest brother to you, and I think you will need his help. Sun Chenghuan continued.

β€œ...... Let's not talk about this for now, if you can survive today, let's talk about it. Suo Wan interrupted Sun Chenghuan's words.

He felt as if he had been stimulated too much today......

Sitting in the car is actually a very boring thing.

Especially since you can only wait there for someone else to come and look for trouble.

From excitement, to vigilance, to exhaustion, it is a very frustrating process.

After coming out of the post station for three hours, the convoy of three carriages finally walked into the forest that Sun Chenghuan was vigilant about.

After this forest passed, it was the border city of the original Merce Kingdom in the west, Xiguan.

It's just that now, Xiguan is already the second border.

The westernmost part has been replaced by Oneika in the desert.

According to the plan, I will change to a horse-drawn carriage at Xiguan Post Station at the end of the night, and I will arrive at Onika in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

The premise is that nature can pass through this forest safely.

"Entered the forest. Glancing outside the car, Suowan said to Sun Chenghuan, who had been in the car with his eyes closed.

"Well, I feel it. ”

β€œ...... I don't know magic, but can you please not pretend in front of me. Suowan was speechless. "Aren't you learning chaos magic? and you're not life magic, and you can still feel the forest?"

Talking to Sun Chenghuan is also much more natural.

He was already very nervous, and he really didn't have the energy to put on a noble face with Sun Chenghuan here.

"I'm serious. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "Ahead...... There should be three magicians. ”

β€œ...... Are you really fake?"

"I guess. ”

β€œ......”

"Hope I'm wrong. Sun Chenghuan sighed, "Let's use the anti-magic shield first." ”

After speaking, he first recited a mantra in a low voice.

A faint blue light appeared and disappeared on him.

Sowan nodded, and also whispered a spell, and the same layer of blue light appeared and disappeared.

"I guess it's almost there. ”

Sun Chenghuan, who had his eyes closed, said suddenly.

β€œ...... You're really nervous......" Sovan stopped before he could finish his words.

Suddenly, the carriage came to a sharp brake.

Suo Wan and Sun Chenghuan, who were sitting in the carriage, almost fell down.

Then, bang, it rang several times in a row.

"Bow attack?" Sovan's brow furrowed slightly.

"Don't rush out, the steel plate of this carriage should be able to block ordinary magical attacks. Sun Chenghuan nodded, "The bow attack is even more ineffective, wait for a while, wait for their wave of bow and arrow attacks to pass......"

Sure enough, before Sun Chenghuan's words were finished, the sound of bang bang sounded again.

"What a stiff bow. Listening to the sound of the steel plates of the carriage being shot, Suowann's brow furrowed.

He seemed to realize something.

"Get ready. Sun Chenghuan also realized the same problem, "No matter what, let's get through this forest first." ”

"Why do you think the car stopped suddenly?" Hearing that he was about to leave the forest, Sovan thought of a very real question.

"The horse is probably dead. Sun Chenghuan naturally thought of it.

Because of the need to prevent bow and arrow attacks, the two of them could not see what was going on outside the car now.

This wave of bow and arrow attacks lasted for a long time.

It took a while for the thumping sound to fade away.

"Can you go out?" Suo Wan looked at Sun Chenghuan.

"Well, count one, two, three, I'll go from the front, you leave from the back, remember the tactics I just said, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, rush into the woods first, dodge the shot of the bow and arrow. ”

"Well, I understand. Didn't you just say there was a magician......"

"It's too late to think about it so much...... Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "There is magic, try to hide as much as possible, and pay attention to maintaining agility." ”

"Well, got it. Sovan nodded.

Then, take a deep breath.

"Take care. ”

"Take care. Sun Chenghuan also nodded, and Suo Wan and Suo Wan each recited all the blessing magic of the meeting, and took the weapon in their hands, "Three, two, one......"

When the count was finished, the two men pushed open the two doors of the carriage at the same time, one in front of the other, and jumped out of the carriage.
