Wet Forest Town, this is a small town located in the east of the city of Gregor, three hundred miles further is the border of the province of Baizhang, after the provincial border, you will reach the province of Purple Feather Flower, where the royal capital is located.

Lasses is one of the four human kingdoms on the continent of Frigga, although Fliga is not as wild and mysterious as the continent of Abraham, which is full of hundreds of tribes and shamans, but Fliga is also divided by many races, and humans are only one of the rulers.

Before midnight, the two of them finally arrived in Wet Woods.

The dense banyan forest is like a pocket that encloses the town, and the air here is humid, the weather is humid, and the dew often condenses among the leaves.

When he came to Wet Woods, there was a light rain in the sky, and he was already soaked in the inn, so he rented two rooms with two hundred Benas, and the exhaustion after the battle made Ivo sleepy, and he laid out a few simple traps, and he couldn't hold on to the sleep, so he fell asleep.

Although tired, the habit he has developed over the years still allows him to wake up on time in the morning.

The sky outside the window was a little dim, the clouds were gray and dark, and it was pregnant with rain, and Ivo felt a water stain on the windowsill, and it was going to rain again today, which would add a lot of trouble to the journey.

After yesterday's sudden attack, Nafei had something on her mind, and she only nodded as a greeting when she met, Ivo knew that she was speculating about the enemy in her heart, but Ivo himself didn't care, the enemy couldn't be coming at him after all, to tell the truth, he was a wild boy who came out of the mountains, who knew him, let alone a grudge that was big enough to kill him.

When you come to the hotel restaurant, there are already many people eating breakfast, the town of Wet Forest is a transportation hub, you always have to pass through this place to get around, there are foot merchants, adventurers, passing travelers, there are also bards, and there are down-and-out mercenaries, dragons and snakes are mixed.

Finding an inconspicuous table and sitting down, the two of them silently ate coarse food, the dishes of the small hotel are popular, nothing more than rye bread, goat cheese, plum pie, hot milk, beer, etc., if you give more than a few dozen Benas, the chef will make some good ones.

Eating in silence, the words discussed by a group of businessmen next door showed what they cared about.

"Have you heard that the Marquis of Lasses, the eldest lady of the Linches family, has lost word since she left Gregor yesterday, and it is rumored that they have been abducted by robbers? ”

"So, yesterday I came past a battlefield, with a dozen charred corpses, and an abandoned carriage with the Linches family crest engraved on it, which is supposed to be the place where the incident happened. ”

"It's really strange that if any of the robbers would provoke the Marquis's family with death, the lord of Gregor would definitely send out his guards to completely wipe out the bandit groups around him. ”

"I don't know if the kidnappers are for ransom or if they have some other purpose, you must know that those nobles like to calculate with each other. ”

"Hmph, don't say anything else, this aristocratic lady is inevitably suffering, robbers are basically men, no matter whether the Linches family ransomes or snatches the eldest lady back, it must be too late in the end. ”

Ivo looked strange, there were rumors about what happened last night this morning, and this rumor was spread too deliberately, but what was the purpose?

Nafei frowned slightly, looking at her expression, she was also very entangled and puzzled.

Many mercenaries in the restaurant heard the rumors and came up to inquire, and a few tables of travelers who arrived this morning confirmed the rumors, claiming that they passed through the battlefield last night, and one by one the mercenaries couldn't sit still, and they all checked out and left, to try their luck to find the "whereabouts" of Miss Nafei, in addition to accepting the mercenary, when encountering a big profit event, they will not be stingy with their own initiative, after all, the weight of the "eldest daughter of the marquis family" can be exchanged for half a lifetime without worrying about food and drink.

Ivo and Nafi glanced at each other, knowing that the hall was not the place to talk about things, and after paying for the meal, the two returned to the room and sat opposite each other, each in thought.

Ivo tapped his fingers on the table and asked, "Who do you guess the enemy is?"

Nafi frowned in thought.

Ivo said to himself: "I thought about it for a while, there are probably only three forces that will calculate you, the Linches family, this is very easy to understand, it is nothing more than the jealousy of a certain clan or the enthusiasm for power; the second is the enemy, it may be your enemy, it may also be the enemy of your family; third, it is the guy who wants to fish in troubled waters, who do you think it will be?"

Nafei didn't seem to expect Ivo to think so clearly, and after a while of silence, he said: "It can't be someone from my family, I'm the eldest daughter, and I'm going to marry the Gold family soon, and the power of the family won't fall into my hands, and this marriage is only good for the family, and the relationship between the family and me is not so indifferent, it can't be a member of the family." ”

Ivo's face was calm, he didn't know anything about the Nafi family anyway, and he had reservations.

"The second possibility is that Linches is about to marry Gold, and the family's political enemies naturally can't sit still. ”

Ivo nodded: "Although I don't know about the politics and aristocracy of Lasses, if the aristocratic struggle of Lasses is only to this extent, then I am really happy, so there must be a follow-up conspiracy." ”

Nafei was puzzled: "Happy?"

Ivo: "Well, I'm glad I have enough IQ. ”

Of course, Ivo is to say laugh, although he has the pride of a traverser, but he will never underestimate anyone, everyone is a head and two shoulders, of course, it is not the incompetent people in the nobility who support the status of the nobility, under the cultivation of good educational conditions, most of the nobles are elites higher than the commoners, there is no doubt about it. Aristocrats are not easy to deal with, and Ivo will not be arrogant or arrogant.

"As for those who fish in troubled waters......" Nafi frowned in annoyance, "I can't think of it. ”

Only by returning to Nafei's family first can there be enough information to reason.

Ivo looked out the window, the torrential rain was pouring down, cutting through the trees, the eaves were falling like a curtain, the sky was dark, the ink was thick in the clouds, and a trace of uneasiness flashed in his eyes, it was difficult to walk in the wild with such a heavy rainstorm, and it seemed that he was going to be trapped in the wet forest town for a while.

After waiting for two days in Wet Forest Town, the torrential rain gradually slowed down, and the topic in the hotel gradually focused on the disappearance of the eldest lady of the Lynches family, which was boiling, and Ivo knew that someone was deliberately spreading it, and there were many more adventure teams and mercenaries around Wet Forest Town, who came to search for the rumors in the rain.

Rumors are rampant, and various versions have appeared, some say that Nafi was thrown into the wild, some say that she was used as a bargaining chip in exchange for ransom from the Linches family, some say that it was a plot between nobles, and the most silent version that Miss Nafi eloped for love.

But there is only one most eye-catching news, the Linches family has known about this, and sent a large number of family guards and followers to search along the road in a carpet way, and exterminate the bandit group, but the rumors did not mention what the bandit who kidnapped Nafei came from, and the mercenaries could only try their luck.

Staying in the room, Ivo performed another failed meditation and took out the broken citrine ring to play with, and there was only one good news for the past two days, and that was that Demacia had woken up.

Demacia was already aware of Ivo's meditation and confirmed Ivo's conjecture, and the reason for his inability to meditate was the Shapeshifter's bloodline curse.

Meditation is the practice of a mage who refines mana and sharpens spiritual power, but the improvement of spiritual power is like sharpening a knife, refining mana is a whetstone, and without refining mana, you cannot exercise spiritual power.

Demacia found that Ivo's own spiritual power was strangely condensed and huge, and in the depths of his mind, the spiritual power turned into chains, protecting all memories, and even the demon lord could not see through it.

Ivo blamed the huge mental power on the reason for the crossing, but Demacia vaguely felt that there seemed to be some kind of existence in the blocked part of Ivo's brain, which felt less like a simple memory, more like something with life.

In the depths of Ivo's brain, there seems to be a ...... Another soul.

But Demacia was not sure of his feelings, so he hid his suspicions.

A team of Wet Forest guards came downstairs and posted a few new bounty notices on the bounty board of the inn.

There are bounties in every area, and a bounty bar should be arranged at the entrance of each hotel for passers-by to easily see.

Ivo had some ominous premonitions, put on his hood to protect himself from the rain, and came to the bounty bar, squeezed into the crowd, and read carefully.

The town of Wet Forest is a transportation hub, and there are many bounties, most of them are fugitives, and the bounty is only a few thousand Benas, and the top of the list is the leader of a nearby bandit group or thief group, and the highest is 50,000 Benas.

However, above the bandit leader, there is a new bounty list, a bounty...... 300,000 Benas!

Benas is the universal currency of this world, divided into seven denominations, one, five, ten, fifty, one hundred, five hundred, and one thousand, all of which are numismatic styles. The ten denominations are plated with copper, the fifty and one hundred denominations are silver-plated, and the highest two denominations are gold-plated.

Although the Age of the Night was a nightmare for all races, it also accomplished a major achievement that would affect later generations, namely the unification of weights and measures, the unanimous exchange of currency for Bernas, and the later and present Glory Calendars also benefited from it, and the development of commerce was facilitated.

Benas is made of a special mineral, the veins are firmly grasped by all state powers, no one is allowed to own them for any reason, and Benas in different countries are carved with different patterns, for example, the Benas coins issued by the Kingdom of Lasses are engraved with the head of the founding king, although there are many coins of Benas, but the conversion ratio is the same one to one.

The complexity of the manufacturing process of Bernas, combined with the secret technical support of the Wizards of the Eight Towers and the Holy See, made it almost impossible to create counterfeit coins.

300,000 Bernas, you can buy a small farm on the outskirts of Gregor, hire several servants, and live a leisurely life as a farmer, the bounty of ordinary bandits and thieves will not exceed 100,000, and the reward of a large-scale group of thieves and robbers is only 200,000 or 300,000.

The moment he saw the bounty image, Ivo looked incredulous.

White head, blue and red pupils, six whisker lines on both cheeks, like a cat and a tiger, isn't this yourself?!

The bounty reads: "This person is a bandit who kidnapped the eldest lady of the Linches family, extremely vicious, the Linches family announced to all the mercenaries and adventurers in the kingdom of Lasses, hunt down the kidnappers, rescue Miss Nafi Linches, for an indefinite period of time, succeed in three days, add 200,000 Benas, succeed in seven days, add 100,000 Benas......"

Ivo's eyes narrowed, his heart fluttering, he didn't understand how the bounty giver could know what he looked like, and why he was sure that the kidnapper was him.
