PS: Thank you for the monthly pass of lmxy, and thank you for the reward of the pigs in the world!

Soon, after a short break, the group set out again, and they had been traveling at full speed for more than an hour from the time they had set out, and should be northeast of Campbell, and if they had gone a little further north they would reach the eastern edge of the Copperhelm Mountains, which in a sense had actually belonged to the Count of Macaro.

However, Leon didn't care about this at all, as long as he could catch up with Sophia, even if he chased all the way to the royal capital, or even chased out of the Sver Kingdom.

Then they passed through a sparse wood, into the edge of the Bronze Helmet Mountains, and trekked through the treacherous mountain roads that were almost untrodden, from sunshine to west, without stopping, which was quite different from Fiona's estimate.

In the middle, Leon once asked Fiona, but the vampire told him with a gloomy face, that they were already quite close, but they didn't know what means the other party used, and they could not confirm their location, so they could only follow in circles.

Seeing the other party's expression, Li Ang couldn't say anything more, so he could only signal to the others and follow steadfastly, anyway, as long as Fiona could sense the other party's whereabouts, she shouldn't lose it.

Climbing over a low mountain, Fiona's footsteps paused and slowly stopped.

"What did you find?" asked Leon immediately.

The vampire girl didn't speak, and the young man put down Erin and walked behind her with doubts, following Fiona's gaze.

Ahead stood an even lower peak, and the yellowing sunlight was falling on the trees of the mountain, giving it a natural sense of tranquility. But other than that, there is nothing out of the ordinary.

"What did you find?" asked Leon repeatedly.

Fiona still didn't answer, and Leon looked sideways. The vampire girl's fair face was right in front of her, and it was impeccably perfect. However, when he noticed the other party's slightly open lips, a wave of surprise welled up in his heart—he found that the girl's lips were trembling slightly.

Why is that? Leon had seen Fiona's strength, so people like her should rarely be intimidated, right?

With this in mind, Leon looked back again, but he still didn't find anything to be afraid of on this mountain.

"They...... Just ahead?" the young man asked, trying to figure out.

Fiona was visibly swallowing, and this time she finally spoke, and said in a very deep voice, "Almost." ”

"Then what are you afraid of?" asked Leon directly.

"No, I'm just a little tired...... Fiona rubbed her hand in the center of her forehead, as if to regain some energy. Recovered from the strange situation just now.

"I'll take a look, don't come with me for the time being," Leon said, "Besides, I hope you didn't lie to me." ”

"Leon, they are indeed ahead," said Fiona, "but there may be a small accident, but please remember that I did not lie to you, and I did not want to lie to you. ”

"Good. I believe you for the time being. ”

Leon waved his hand, and Caterina, Irene, Melissa, and Red walked up.

"It's almost there, you follow me, Erin, you're in the middle. The others are advancing in the previous formation, so they must be vigilant. ”

"Remember, fight back mercilessly in the face of any sneak attacks and attacks. But let's not take the initiative to attack. ”

Everyone nodded their heads, before approaching the mountain forest. Leon turned his head and gave Fiona a deep look as she had stayed. The girl's gaze seemed to contain some indescribable brilliance, which seemed to be encouragement, but also seemed to be worried.

......

The woods here are located in the outermost part of the Bronze Helmet Mountains, seriously speaking, they do not belong to the Wolf's Kiss Forest, the growth of the trees is not as lush as the Wolf's Kiss Forest, and the density is much worse, so there is no such feeling of covering the sky and the sun when walking in the forest, and the dusk sunlight falls under the feet of everyone through the leaves, forming a patch of irregular light spots, and illuminating the scene in front of them at the same time.

Although the harvest moon represents the growth and ripening of the fruit, it also represents the annual dormancy and decline of the plants, and the rustling of footsteps on the ground thickens the fallen leaves on the ground, which sets off the silence among the trees.

After navigating through the forest without any danger, it didn't take long for them to reach the top of the hill-like peak, where the trees were even more sparse, and at last only a bare hill remained.

Suddenly, Leon stretched out his right hand and stopped everyone's footsteps.

He saw a protruding boulder on the top of the hill, and on the top of it sat a man who seemed to be looking up at the sky.

This discovery made everyone tense their nerves, and after a pause, Leon walked over slowly.

It was an old man, very thin, almost skinny, and in tattered clothes, and at first glance he was a beggar in the extreme. But Leon didn't think so, no beggar dared to enter the Bronze Helmet Mountains, and he could go deep into this kind of place, sitting on a stone and watching the sky boringly, it was purely looking for death.

The old man's clothes were not in the style of a priest or a priest, but an extremely ordinary coarse linen robe, but he seemed to be completely unconcerned, sitting there with a straight posture, and there was a faint implicable momentum.

This person is definitely not simple, Li Ang stood under the stone and looked at the other party's back, and said in a calm tone: "Hello. ”

The old man's body moved, and he slowly turned his head, looked condescendingly into the young man's eyes, and responded gently.

"Hello, Leon. ”

When meeting the old man's gaze, Li Ang's spirit was in a trance, and the next greeting was like a loud thunder buzzing in his mind, this glance and a sound made the young man stand still for more than ten seconds, until the loud reverberation dissipated before he gradually regained his thinking ability.

"It's horrible!"

It can be said that Li Ang has never seen such a terrifying character since he crossed over here, and it is unimaginable that his thinking is almost interrupted just by his eyes and voice.

Li Ang took a few steps back for the first time, pulled out the Immortal Pioneer and pointed at the other party, shouting, "Who are you!"

His movements were quite fast, but there was no expected echo behind him, and the young man was shocked, he had just been shocked by the other party, so he couldn't even take into account the feedback of the battlefield map for a while, and only now did he find that the four people on Katerina's side were limp and collapsed on the ground, and they didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

A wisp of cold sweat ran down the back of Leon's ears, and for the first time he felt regret for his judgment—it was obvious that Fiona had deliberately lured them over so that this terrifying powerhouse could ......

"That's not right!" Li Ang immediately denied the thought in his mind, this old man is so powerful, isn't it a matter of minutes for him to deal with him? It is estimated that if he wants to break into the manor directly, even if there is Kaka and Duncan's deposit, he will definitely not be able to do anything.

Thinking of this, the young man's tense feelings relaxed slightly, he felt that the other party was not necessarily an enemy, and it should not be a friend, but since he knew his name...... It must have come with some purpose.

"Don't worry, your companions will wake up in a moment if they are only in a coma for a while, and there will be no after-effects on their bodies. ”

Li Ang looked up, and the old man had come down from the boulder and stood in front of him.

The young man stepped back again, "I've never met you before, and I shouldn't have provoked your friend's subordinates, so why did you attack us?"

"Shoot?hehe......" The old man smiled, his eyes no longer had the divine light just now, and his voice became normal, "Li Ang, you don't have to worry too much, I don't have much to do with you, and this time I don't want to target you." ”

"I just heard about you from some people, and this time I happened to be passing by, so I came to take a look. ”

"What do you want to see, and I will not be taken seriously by you for the strength of my companions, or even the whole of Campbell, so what is my value to you?"

Leon put his posture very low, he knew the truth that people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and he firmly believed that his luck could not be the legendary Cheng Dù who still spoke out against the super strong and finally won the favor in the end.

"Don't be presumptuous," said the old man with a smile.

Seeing that the young man remained silent, he thought for a moment and said, "In addition to looking at you this time, I actually want to ask you a question. ”

"Speak," said Leon at once.

The old man took a few steps to the side, sat down on a sharp rock that jutted out of the ground, and then breathed a deep sigh of relief, as if he were sitting in the most comfortable chair in the world.

After a while, he spoke again, "What do you think...... What is black and what is white?"

“...... Is this sister a philosopher coming to give me an exam?"

Li Ang didn't think that what the other party said was black and white was white, since such a person asked, the meaning would definitely not be simple.

Recalling the look in the vampire girl's eyes before entering the mountain forest, Li Ang gradually had a premonition.

"The night symbolizes black, the day symbolizes white, they have their own purpose of existence, indispensable, and there will be light at night, and there will be shadows all over the world during the day. ”

According to his own judgment, Li Ang began to talk nonsense when he recalled his previous knowledge.

In addition, some people say that good is white and evil is black, but there is no obvious difference between good and evil, because the definition of good and evil in everyone's heart is different, so in people's hearts, black may be white, white may be black, and black and white cannot be completely independent. ”

"In another sense, there is also a dark side in the human heart, and this is innate, so there is no perfect person in the world, and like some creatures in the dark realm, they may not have the good side in their hearts, so for me personally, ......"

"All right," said the old man, "there is no need to go on, although ...... You're a little naïve and verbose, and a little deliberate, but I think that's enough. (To be continued......)
