A group of twenty people left the town at dawn. 1. Chinese network ===.=8≤1=Z≤≈.≥C≤O≥M

Running at the front were three wind wolves, with vigorous postures and running wildly. It was followed by more than a dozen ordinary wildebeests, and the degree was comparable.

This team led by Byrne is the advance force of the Fire Sword Mercenary Regiment, and they mainly return to Maple Leaf City to deal with the follow-up affairs. After all, the monster cave is a big deal, including the government, the business community, and the mercenary guild in Maple Leaf City, which are more or less involved.

Dixie is also on the team because the annual academy assessment is about to start. He was joined by Blue.

In the face of the upcoming college entrance examination, one of the two is inexplicably worried, and the other is inexplicably optimistic.

Vera Shoes is also looking like she is about to fall asleep today.

As for Fei Jin -

The high priest was killed, and the quenching stone was in hand.

These two things were perfectly done, and he didn't have any memories of the town anymore, of course, the sooner he went back, the better.

And counting the days, twenty days have passed before I know it, plus the return journey of at least three days in the next three days, it really took a lot of time to come out this time.

“...... It's out of expectation again. ”

Fei Jin rubbed his brows in annoyance, he remembered that he had told Twilight that it would only take ten days.

"I don't know how the herb shop's business is, and the hairball ......"

———— the town of Egger————

After more than a day of traveling, the advance detachment arrived at the rest point.

After the night, bring plenty of water and food and continue out.

The west gate of the town is not blocked and unimpeded, which means that there is no need to take a detour to the Blackstone Mine this time, which makes Fei Jin regret it a little.

Along the way, there is not even a single demon on the official road, which is really boring.

But last night in the tavern, Fei Jin heard something interesting.

After learning the news that the monster cave, the biggest scourge in the next town, had been bulldozed, the local people of Egger Town were quite unhappy, and the conversation was full of resentment.

It's as if the brothers and sisters who were originally together suddenly left themselves and soared.

The situation in the town of Egger is similar to that of the town of Orville.

Although the reputation of the Blackstone Mine is not as great as that of the Monster Cave, in recent years, that area has been unmanaged, resulting in the Blade Demon Clan being breeding at an alarming rate.

With such a "time bomb" next to it, how can ordinary people feel at ease. Especially after the success of the town next door, this feeling has undoubtedly intensified.

Therefore, whether it is on the street or in the tavern, Fei Jin can clearly perceive a special atmosphere, it seems that the whole town is "restless", but he doesn't know what action the local government will take.

Fei Jin decided to keep an eye on the matter.

......

After a long journey of three and a half days, the city defense of Maple Leaf City finally appeared in everyone's field of vision.

It's early afternoon, the sun is nice, and the temperature seems to have picked up slightly.

"I'm back, haha~" Lia cheered.

Under the girl's infection, the slightly tired faces of the others also smiled, and even the wildebeest called twice.

Entering the main city, the crowd began to slow down. This is the rule in the city, whether it is a wildebeest or a wind wolf, it is not allowed to pass a certain degree on the street. There are even some places, such as Central Boulevard, where even mounts are not allowed to ride, so they can only be led.

Having said goodbye to everyone, Fei Jin did not go to the herbal medicine shop, but went directly back to the place where he lived, and he still had a lot of things to deal with.

Knock Knock Knock –

Outside the courtyard, Fei Jin knocked on the iron door.

1o seconds passed......

2o seconds passed, but there was no movement inside.

"Didn't you hear?" Fei Jin knocked again with a little force.

He wasn't worried that no one would be home, and the old woman, Miss Twisa's grandmother, barely went out because of her age. Besides, even if I went out occasionally today, there were three maids and a housekeeper, how could they not be there.

“...... May I ask who you are?"

Just when Fei Jin was about to knock for the third time, someone on the opposite side of the iron door finally responded.

But this cautious voice sounds strange, girl?

Fei Jin said unhurriedly: "Hello, I am temporarily living here, please open the door." ”

“...... Don't laugh sir, please go back, I can pretend that I didn't give birth this time, but I'll tell Sister Twisa next time. ”

In the courtyard, Xue Man frowned, was it my sister's suitor outside?

"I'm not kidding—"

Fei Jin hurriedly said: "Isn't the old woman at home?" Or you find a maid and ask, the rightmost room on the third floor is my room." ”

“...... Please wait a minute. ”

Hearing this, Xue Man ran upstairs, and she had to confirm this kind of thing in person.

The room on the far right......

The door was not locked, and Xue Man pushed it open to see that there were indeed traces of residence, and there were still a few men's clothes.

"It's so weird, how could Sister Twisa let a boy live in......?"

Here, Fei Jin waited for more than five minutes, and the thick iron door was finally opened.

"Good, good, white ......"

Fei Jin couldn't help but squint his eyes, this was the first time he saw Xue Man's impression - his skin, length, and clothes were all dazzlingly white, coupled with red-leaning pupils and delicate faces, like characters coming out of a scroll.

"I'm younger than I thought, I guess I'm younger than Sister Twilight. ”

Xue Man was also looking at each other, but her gaze always had a sense of timidity.

"Yes, I'm sorry I misunderstood you. ”

"It's fine. ”

Fei Jin waved his hand absently and briefly introduced himself.

The girl also bowed her head and saluted, "First time we met, I am the younger sister of Sister Twisa and ...... snowman"

Younger sister?

Fei Jin took a closer look, and his facial features really seemed to be so similar, could it be his own sister?

"I didn't see you the other day. Xue Man's face turned slightly to the side.

It seems that this sister came a few days ago...... Fei Jin replied with a smile: "Well, I was out of town at that time, and I only arrived in Maple Leaf City today. ”

"Goobo... Goo!"

Suddenly, the hairball jumped out of nowhere and hugged the owner's calf with tears in his eyes.

"Hahaha, long time no see. Fei Jin picked up the little guy and put it in the palm of his hand and stroked it gently.

The furball closed its eyes very meekly and let out a silly cry.

“...... What's going on? Are you alone?"

Even if the courtyard was empty, Fei Jin walked into the hall, but still couldn't see half a figure.

"Well, grandparents went to visit old friends this morning and will be back tomorrow. ”

"What about the butlers and servants?"

And they went with them. ”

"That's ......"

Fei Jin understood, but he immediately became a little nervous.

"In this case, there are only three people at home, me, you, and the eldest lady?"

"Yes, yes. ”

Xue Man's flustered eyes flickered, looking much more nervous than Fei Jin.

In fact, when she learns that she will be alone with Sister Twisa for the past two days, she almost cries out in fear.
