"Why did you go to the pumpkin farm at this time?" Herag wondered.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, there is nothing on the pumpkin farm, no one will make trouble at all, and naturally there is no value in stationing.

He saw the embarrassment of the emir, and suddenly understood: "Okay, I'll go with you, but have you really thought it through?" ”

He had already seen that day that Emile and Melissa were indeed fond of each other.

Emile went to the pumpkin farm this time, most likely to hide for a while, until Melissa got married.

He patted Herag on the head: "Don't ask too much about adults and children!" ”

Herag could see that the emir was in a hurry, so he casually packed up and went out with him.

At the gate of the castle, two horses were ready, and the horses were hung with large and small packages, which were all prepared for the winter.

Herag turned his head to look at the emir, and saw that he was a little sluggish, and he probably hadn't slept all night.

"Emir!" Melissa's voice came from a distance, and Gerag looked back to see a figure running towards her.

"Let's go!" The emir was ruthless, and immediately got on his horse and ran.

When Herag saw him slip away, he turned around and saw Melissa running over. He also did not want to get involved in these things of the nobles, so he got on his horse and rushed out.

As he rode across the river, he looked back and saw Melissa kneeling at the castle gate, as if weeping.

The autumn mountains and forests have changed their appearance, the mountains are red all over, the forests are dyed, the mountain roads are covered with fallen leaves, and the horses' hooves step on them to make a rustling sound.

The emir had something on his mind and was silent along the way, and Herag didn't care about him, so he should go out on an outing.

Although he is young, he is a man of two lives, and he has far more experience in this area than the emir, and everything needs time to precipitate.

There was no mission on this trip, so I was not in a hurry.

On the way, we also passed by the cave, where both Herag and the emir stopped for a while.

The emir poured two glasses of wine on the ground, made a knightly salute, and left silently.

Seven days later, the two arrived at the pumpkin farm.

The pumpkin farm is located at the foot of the Emerald Mountains, and the two of them descended the mountain road, through the mountains and forests, and suddenly opened up a wide plain.

The plains are farmlands of various sizes, and crops such as wheat and pumpkins are planted on weekdays.

Since the autumn harvest has passed, most of the farmland is bare.

In the middle of the pumpkin farm is a large yard surrounded by heavy stones, which acts as a fortification.

"This is to guard against wild beasts, but also to defend against the occasional enemy attack." Emir explained.

The gate to the farm was also a heavy iron gate, and the emir walked up to it and knocked lightly.

After a while, there was a faint sound of footsteps inside, and a hoarse old man asked, "Who?" ”

"Captain of the castle guard, Emir, come and garrison." The emir replied.

"Who?" The old man inside didn't seem to hear clearly.

The emir had no choice but to raise his voice and say it again.

This time the old man seemed to hear clearly, and there was the metallic sound of the key stabbing into the iron lock from behind the door.

Squeak......

The door slowly opened, and there was a screeching sound of rubbing. Behind the door was an old man in a bloated cotton suit.

The skin on the old man's face was as dry as tree bark, and his eyes were cloudy and he didn't know if he could see clearly.

"You're Massimo, aren't you? I am the emir, and this is a token. The emir pulled out his knight captain badge and handed it over.

Massimo took the badge and did not look at it, but touched it with his hand, and after touching it, he returned it to the emir and said, "Come in." ”

"He's the only keeper on the farm, and he's been here for forty years." Emir introduced.

"Forty years ......" Herag looked at the faltering old man, a little surprised.

"Remember, don't go out of your room at night, and don't come out of any sound you hear. There are demons in the mountains, and there have been guards stationed here in previous winters, but the next morning the people disappeared, so you have to be careful. Massimo said as he walked ahead.

"Demons? Does such a thing really exist? Herag asked.

Massimo did not respond, and Rationale ignored Herag.

"It is true that there were guards stationed here in the winter, but they all disappeared without exception, and then no guards were sent here in winter," said the emir. ”

"And we're coming?" Hellag had a look on his face that he had been cheated by you.

Emir laughed, "Haha, the demon is just a rumor. There are a lot of foraging beasts in the mountains in winter, and it is indeed risky to go out at night, but am I still afraid of wild animals? ”

Herag thought about it, too, that ordinary beasts came to serve as a drink. But what I'm afraid of is that there is weirdness here, and it can't be viewed with the concept of a previous life.

There are more than a dozen rooms on the farm, some large and some small. The big houses are basically storehouses, which are used to store grain or houses.

Smaller houses were generally dwellings, with Massimo living in the northernmost cottage on the farm, and Emir and Hrage living in a large three-story house in the middle of the farm.

The house was messy, and the two of them simply cleaned up and barely had some breath of life.

There was also a cellar in the house, and the emir opened the planks that covered the cellar, hung an oil lamp and went down, and when he found that the oil lamp was not extinguished, he went down.

In the cellar there were bags of flour and several large wooden barrels.

The emir was overjoyed, picked up a wooden barrel and sniffed it: "This is all good wine!" ”

The two of them came out with a barrel, found two glasses, and poured bright red wine from the barrel, and the rich aroma of wine immediately diffused.

"Cheers!" The emir laughed.

"Cheers!"

Both of them were a little tired after a long journey, so they just had some drinks.

It is difficult for a knight-level physique to be drunk by alcohol, and there is no one else here, so Gerag boldly asked: "You ran here to hide, will you really not regret it in the future?" ”

The emir smiled bitterly: "I regret it now, but there are more important things than my personal feelings. ”

"Lord Baron's marriage is to protect the entire territory, if I affect this marriage for my own sake, it will affect the territory and Lord Baron." He continued.

Herag was a little puzzled: "Preserve the entire territory?" Behard's people don't have that ability. ”

Bechard himself was so poor that he could pose a threat to the entire Dall Valley.

The emir looked at Herag and said, "Do you know why Lord Baron has been able to control the Valley of Dur for so long? Is it because there are many guards? No, because Lord Baron is a great knight, and there are few great knights in the entire Norton Kingdom. ”

"The top combat power like the Great Knight is a deterrent, so no one dares to invade on a large scale, because the Great Knight alone can kill your entire family."

"Could it be that Lord Baron ...... him" Herag suddenly had a guess in his heart, if Baron Buck's life was short, then the Valley of Dur would be a big piece of fat that everyone could look at.
