The sunset sky was particularly beautiful, and Locke was still lying on the grass with his feet closed and his eyes closed, looking at the clouds that were reflected red in the wind.

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind, and rolled over and slipped the gray lift, who was sleeping on a low branch, onto his back and walked towards the town.

He's going to find the legacy, so he's going to separate from the team.

Back at the Byokan Station, he found Victor.

"Young master, you called your subordinates to come, I don't know what to order?"

Locke smiled, took out a crystal ball from the ring and handed it to Victor.

Victor took the crystal ball suspiciously, looked at Locke blankly, and opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

"This is the Shadow Ball to record events, I have recorded everything I want to say through magic, I have a task for you now, can you complete it?" Locke explained carefully.

"The subordinates will not fail in their mission!" Victor immediately raised his head and said.

"Okay, you can lead the team back to Thunder Fortress tomorrow and hand over the Shadow Ball to your grandfather." Locke stood up and patted Victor on the shoulder.

"A subordinate leads the team? Young master, ...... you" Victor was stunned for a moment and asked cautiously.

"Oh, I have some things to deal with, so I won't go back to the fortress yet." Locke said with a smile.

"Young master, this is no joke, if you don't go back with us, we won't be able to explain, in case... I mean, if you are in any danger, we won't be able to pay for our lives." Victor said with a helpless expression on his face.

"Don't worry, there is Ash here, I can protect myself below the Earth Knight, and everyone has seen his strength." Locke spoke again.

"Young master, I can't guarantee this, if you really don't want us to follow, you can return to the fortress together and tell the Duke in person." Victor said with a look of embarrassment.

Locke sighed and sat down, "The place I'm going to is in the west, it's a long way, and it's a bit of a detour from Thunder Fortress."

Victor is very smart, this is not the time to say yes for Locke to save trouble, in case something happens to Locke's departure, they will be buried with a hundred people.

"Okay, okay, you can take the shadow ball, I'll think about it again." Locke said with a wave of his hand.

Victor nodded and left the room.

The door was closed, Victor put away his smile, the young master is going to run away secretly, otherwise why don't you take this shadow ball back and continue to put it in your hands.

"How should this be......" Victor muttered as he paced back and forth in the courtyard with his head down.

"What's going on? I've seen you turn around here several times." Zowe, who had been out with him before, walked over and asked softly.

Victor raised his head and saw that it was Zowe, so he hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "Something's wrong, something is wrong."

"What's wrong? Why do you look like you've eaten a dead mouse?" Zowe asked with a blank expression.

"Worse than eating a dead rat, do you know what it is?" With a bitter face, Victor handed the shadow ball in his hand to Zowe.

"Where did you pick up the crystal ball, and you're rich." Zowe put the crystal ball in front of him and looked at it carefully.

"What a fortune, the young master said that this is called the Shadow Screen Ball, which is a magic ball used to store images, and the young master asked us to bring this back to the Duke." Victor said, leaning against the wall.

"That's not very good, the young master knows how to honor the elders." Zowe smiled and said as he returned the ball to Victor.

"Hey...... Did you listen to me, I said... The young lord told us to bring this back to the Duke." Victor repeated.

Zowe tilted his head to look at Victor, not understanding why he would repeat it again.

"I...... I really want to beat you up, what kind of brain are you, I'll tell you again, young master... We... Bring it back, why don't you bring it back yourself, because he is going to leave the team alone to run errands, and he won't let us follow."

Zuowei's face changed, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "

You say that the little is the main ......... Woo woo woo."

Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Victor.

"Be quiet, no one knows yet." Victor gritted his teeth.

Zoway nodded, and Victor let go.

"So what now?" Zuo Wei's expression also became serious, and he whispered.

"I already persuaded him just now, but it looks like he didn't persuade him to go in, I guess he will definitely sneak away tonight." Victor analyzed.

"Shall we stop it?" Zowe asked, squinting.

"I was thinking about this question just now, I can't stop it, and if I don't stop it, I can't say it, the main thing is how to explain to the above when we go back to the fortress." Victor began to worry again, this time differently, with a worried companion by his side.

It was already late at night, and the door of Locke's room was gently opened, and two figures, one large and one small, rushed out, and instead of choosing the main entrance, they rushed towards the wall behind the room.

By the broken wall, Locke looked around cautiously, quietly, without a sound, so he let his guard down and stepped over the wall with one foot.

At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up outside the wall, Locke was startled, and hurriedly pumped his legs, but it was too late, and a group of people also appeared in the direction they came.

"Young master, if you leave like this, we really can't explain it." Victor said with his head bowed and a torch in his hand.

Locke knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he didn't hide it, and came to Victor generously.

"What I'm going to do this time is so important that no one but me knows about it, including my grandfather, and I have to go and no one can stop me."

Locke finished speaking in a deep voice, looking at the faces around him that were red by the firelight, he smiled and said: "Knights, please forgive me, I have a hard time going, I hope you understand, I have left an image in the shadow ball, as long as you bring it back to the fortress and give it to your grandfather, he will not blame you after seeing it."

Victor wanted to say something, but was stopped by Locke, who shook his head in no doubt.

"Thank you for your trust and companionship during this time, I, Locke Austen, am very grateful, and now I'm leaving." With that, Locke walked directly past the crowd and headed west.

"Aren't you chasing?" Several knights who knew Victor well leaned over and asked in a whisper.

"You have also seen the attitude of the young master, what are you chasing?" Victor said with a frown.

He turned to face the knights and said, "The young master handed me the shadow ball before leaving, and asked me to lead everyone back, now that the battle in the fortress is tight, we still need to show our blood there, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."

The knights looked at Victor gratefully, and it was really righteous for him to stand up against everything at this time.

The gates were closed, and Locke climbed over the walls with the help of Ash.

The moonlight sprinkled the earth, illuminating the road ahead.
