After a small episode of the mountain bandits, Xu Shuo and his party walked in the direction of the plan for about two hours, but they still couldn't get out of the forest.

Xu Shuo already felt a little tired, walking the mountain road, more than physical exertion, more mental exhaustion, in the face of the repeated mountain and forest scenery, full of burdens, and I don't know how far there is still to go, people can easily feel tired. Even Miao Zhen has changed from the initial liveliness to a quiet voice.

"Mr. Xu Shuo, are we going in the wrong direction?" Lilian finally couldn't help but ask.

"Uh......"

Xu Shuo slowed down his pace, looked left and right, chose a tall tree, climbed it lightly with his hands and feet, he staggered on the treetop that was not very strong and looked into the distance, he could only see a sea of trees, and a dim red sunset.

Is it said that you are lost? Xu Shuo glanced at the sunset with some irritation, and it seemed that it would be dark soon.

Miao Zhen rolled up his hand under the tree and shouted at Xu Shuo: "Brother Xu Shuo, have you seen the town?" ”

"Don't talk about the town, even the end of this forest is ......" Xu Shuo was halfway through his words, seeing Miao Zhen's lost expression, and realized that there was no other use in saying frustrating words at the moment except to dissipate his spirit, so he immediately changed his words: "But our direction should be right, according to what the uncle said, we will be able to get out of the forest soon, as long as we get out of the forest, it will be easy to do, let's go forward for a while...... Miao: Are you tired? ”

Miao Zhen shook his head.

"Not tired."

Having said that, the voice is weak.

Xu Shuo saw it in his eyes, but he could only sigh silently, thinking that it would be good if Angela was here at this time, and he could ask her to help look at the road or something.

Then they walked forward for a while.

Perhaps it was time to move, but it was not long before the three of them saw a carriage parked not far away, and several women crouching under a large tree, holding small shovels digging something like sweet potatoes, and carrying a small basket on their backs for what they had dug up.

Xu Shuo and the others immediately became excited, since there were people, it meant that the town was nearby, and they didn't go the wrong way.

"The ......"

Xu Shuo raised his hand, and was about to greet the women and ask for directions, when suddenly he saw a branch on the top of the tree began to droop - it was a thigh-thick branch, perhaps after the wind and rain or other impacts, only a small piece of bark was connected to the trunk, and at this moment it seemed that it could not bear its own gravity and was about to break and fall.

Directly below it, however, a woman in a purple-spotted turban was unaware of it, and was intently digging the earth with a small shovel.

"Beware of the ——! Overhead"

Xu Shuo opened his mouth to remind, and the branches broke at the same time, falling from a height of nearly ten meters, and smashed towards the woman below. The woman raised her face, but instead of looking at the top of her head, she subconsciously looked at Xu Shuo, and at the same time showed a confused expression on her face. This is a normal reaction, but if it goes on like this, there will be accidents.

Xu Shuo took out the flying knife from his arms as fast as he could, and then used [Throw] to throw the flying knife with the magic mark attached, and at the moment before the branch was about to hit the woman, he used the [Stealing Blade] to teleport in front of the woman, and flashed the woman aside with a roll.

Then a heavy muffled sound was heard, and a small pit was smashed into the ground by the branches.

The women were all startled, and stared at Xu Shuo, who suddenly appeared, and the branches on the ground for a long time, before they came back to their senses.

The rescued woman repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Xu Shuo, and after learning that Xu Shuo and others were looking for a town where they could stay, she offered to let Xu Shuo and others take a ride back to the town where she lived. Of course, Xu Shuo couldn't ask for it.

In the car, the woman introduced herself as Pia, and that she and the other women were from a small town called Beidou, and that they had come out to dig up a crop called pimple buns, which grew bread and were cooked and ready to eat, but they dug it up to sell, and pimple buns were a popular staple food in the Duchy of Zhulu.

The ride was much faster than walking, and it didn't take long for the group to leave the forest, and soon a small town of considerable size appeared in front of them.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened, and looking at the fire lighting in the direction of the town, Xu Shuo couldn't help but feel happy.

"Thank you, Aunt Pia, if we hadn't met you, we would probably be sleeping in the forest tonight."

"Where, it should be me thank you for saving me, this level of help can't be regarded as a reward at all, please let me invite you to dinner when you get to the town!"

"No, no, you don't have to do it to this extent......"

As he spoke, the carriage had already driven to the front of Beidou Town, and stopped at the signal of the guards guarding the gate.

The guard in charge of the inquiry was a middle-aged man with a mustache, who seemed to be very familiar with Pia and the others, and asked casually, "Mrs. Pia, how is today's harvest?" ”

Pia patted her basket, and the pimple bag inside made a neat crashing sound.

"Thanks to you, it's not bad."

"Really?"

The mustache put his hand into the basket, picked up a pimple bag and weighed it, Pia understood, took out a few copper plates from his pocket and handed them to the mustache, the mustache took the copper plates, nodded with satisfaction, and put the pimple bag back in the basket. At this time, he noticed Xu Shuo and the three people in the car.

"Who are they? Didn't go out with you? ”

"Ah, they are travelers from the Land of Fire, and this little brother saved my life on the way just now."

Pia described what had just happened to the mustache.

"Really? It seems to be a heroic young man, but the traveler of the Land of Fire ......" The mustache glanced in the direction of the forest, then raised his eyes and looked at Xu Shuo meaningfully, "From the other side of the forest?" ”

Everyone present understood something, and they all fell silent.

Xu Shuo swallowed his saliva, and looked into the distance casually, thinking that it was over.

I don't know how long the mustache stared at Xu Shuo, maybe the winter has passed, maybe not, but in the end, he didn't even debunk the smuggling of Xu Shuo and others, but just asked lightly: "Outsiders who want to enter the town need identification, do you have one?" ”

Xu Shuo scratched his face and said, "Uh, our identification is on the road, that ...... Dropped. ”

The mustache shrugged his shoulders and said with a nonchalant expression: "Okay, then follow me to register your personal information, and then do a test, fifty copper per person." ”

Xu Shuo and Lily Enmiao Zhen glanced at each other, both feeling a little incredible, it seemed that this mustache did not intend to delve too deeply.

They followed the mustache to the registration office in front of the town gate, where the guards at the front desk yawned as they pushed three amethyst cards and a small notebook in front of them.

"Test your attributes, and then write out your name, vocation, residence, purpose for coming, and guarantor, write horizontally, align the above, if you can't write, you can also say it and let me help you register." The front desk guard said.

Xu Shuo picked up the amethyst card, and the unpleasant memories that had happened in the Adventurer's Guild flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but sigh, but then he thought again, at least this time it won't be the same as last time, this is the gate of the town after all, since Angela said that the vocations are randomly given, then there will definitely be thieves born in this town, so he shouldn't be let in because he is a thief.

Xu Shuo pressed his finger on the amethyst card, and the amethyst card showed his current attributes.

『Name: Xu Shuo』

Vocation: Thief (Lv. 4)

『HP: (1800)』

『Dexterity: 42』

『Strength: 24』

『Defense: 7』

『Mana:』

The front desk guard took Xu Shuo's amethyst card and glanced at it, and then called the mustache with a strange expression.

"Look." The front desk guard handed Xu Shuo's amethyst card to the mustache.

The mustache frowned at the amethyst card, he shook his head, and said to Xu Shuo, "I'm sorry, we can't let thieves enter the town. ”

Xu Shuo: "What?! ”
