The moon is cold and there is wind outside the city, and clouds accumulate in the high sky, and the clouds follow the wind, covering the already light moon from time to time, making it lighter and more lofty, as if it is about to ascend into the heavenly realm and disappear into the world.

A horse walked slowly on the official road outside the fog forest city, at this time most of the farmers had rested, and the farmers who went to the nearby mountains to cut wood and hunt had already returned, and the official road was extremely quiet, only the horse's hooves stepped lightly.

Qingfeng didn't understand the meaning of the bright moon, and the horses that were getting farther and farther away from the Fog Forest City walked along the official road to the mountains and deep forests in the distance, and the people on the horses also controlled the horses and gradually began to accelerate.

The woman on the horse was dressed in white and silver armor, with a hood covering most of her face, her short skirt fluttering without fear of the cold wind, and a beautiful and pure rose on her chest.

Because of the appearance of the Dark Brotherhood, Taylor cautiously chose to travel at night on the way to the headquarters, if the people of the Dark Brotherhood followed her to the Brotherhood of Light headquarters, then what face would she have to meet Master Herris.

Riding all the way through the moon and into the forest, the Assassin's good eyesight and blessed Brotherhood night vision made Taylor no different from the day, she rode around the fog forest, and she was not afraid that the low-level monsters living on the edge of the fog forest would run out and hurt her.

The Western Moon Province is the smallest province of the Manhua Empire, but this is due to the fact that the Manhua Empire sits on the entire continent, and in fact, the smallest province of the Western Moon Province of the Empire is much larger than the territory of a kingdom in the church era.

The top of the world, the Nalan Mountain, towers in the extreme north, where the Nalan River, which runs through the entire continent, originates, and the Nalan River meanders and flows to the central part of the Red Sea continent to form an arc, dividing a large expanse of rich verdant mountains into a bizarre shape of one large and one small, one missing and one surplus.

This is the origin of the names of the Empire's Western Moon Province and the Eastern Moon Province, which is connected to the Heroic Soul Plain in the heart of the Empire, which is the round of the missing moon.

The Brotherhood of Light, a vast Assassin organization with a reputation throughout the continent, has established itself here, operating for more than a thousand years, and with the support of the Empire, its roots are incomparably deeper.

Some people say that in the Western Moon Province, there is a more powerful force than the Brotherhood of Light, in addition to the empire itself, I am afraid that there is only the vast fog forest.

The fog forest is located in the north-central part of Xiyue Province, a tributary of the Nalan River flows here, the mist and miasma are heavy all year round, the mountains are deep and the forests are full of ravines, and the valleys are everywhere, and there are endless demonic beasts living there, which is a place that makes cultivators talk about the color change.

Misty Forest City was the closest city to this large forest, and after Taylor left Misty Forest City, he continued to advance towards the central part of Xiyue Province.

Even Taylor did not dare to cross the vast fog forest at night, but walked around this deep mountain forest, and after bypassing the fog forest, he would soon reach a large river, called Lan Jiang, which was a tributary of the Nalan River that ran through the mainland.

As he galloped through the shadows of the trees, Taylor felt a little relieved and happy to see the long-lost Mentor Herris after another day's journey across the Ranjan River.

The old trees beside the road were growing, the night wind rustled the dense leaves on the interlaced branches, and there were a pair of ghostly eyes hidden in the jungle, quietly watching the man and horse galloping by.

Taylor knew that it was some beasts that came out to forage at night, this place belonged to the very edge of the fog forest, demonic beasts were rare, and the occasional appearance was also very low-level, the corners of Taylor's mouth were slightly upturned, if she sensed an unlucky low-level demonic beast, she didn't mind collecting two demonic beast crystal nuclei to play.

But suddenly, Taylor didn't sense the beast, and her keen assassin sense seemed to sense it, and there seemed to be a human breath in front of her......

Taylor was a little alert, the human who dared to appear at the edge of the fog forest so late must not be an ordinary person, maybe a mercenary robber or something, but when he got closer, Taylor sensed that the human's aura was very weak, like a ...... Child?

The breath was getting closer and closer, and Taylor unexpectedly found that there was a little girl sitting on the ground crying in front of him!

At midnight, deep in the mountains and old forests, on the edge of the night road, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and a little girl is sitting on the ground crying, this picture is particularly weird.

Carried by the wind as she galloped, Taylor galloped past the little girl, in love or not, she was always an assassin, an assassin was never a nosy profession, and in her bones there was the disregard for life that was most needed when killing.

When the little girl saw someone galloping past her on horseback, she ignored herself, and cried even harder, which was heart-wrenching.

The little girl cried very sadly and helplessly, and the woman in white on a steed was the only person she had seen tonight, but before she could react, she hurried away like the wind when she came, and did not stop for a moment.

The moonlight shook the phantoms of the woods, the phantoms sang strange songs of death, the little girl buried her head, hugged her knees, sat on the cold mud and shivered, she looked very pitiful, she was only wearing a thin autumn coat, it seemed that even if she had not been frostbitten by the cold night tonight, she would probably not be able to escape the mouth of the beast.

Just as the little girl's crying turned into a whimper, and the whimper became smaller and smaller, a woman dressed in white and silver armor led her horse to her, and Taylor went and returned.

The little girl raised her head in confusion, her little face was dirty, I don't know if she was frightened after being lost for too long, she stared at the mysterious woman in front of her with red and swollen teary eyes, and was speechless for a while.

Taylor crouched down and asked softly, "Little sister, why are you here alone at such a late hour?"

The night owl chirped violently, and the little girl looked at Taylor for a long time, as if to recognize whether Taylor was a human or a ghost, and finally said timidly, "I...... I got lost with my father collecting medicine, and my family lives in ...... Wanghe Town. ”

Taylor thought about it, Wanghe Town is not far from here, close to the Lanjiang River, what this little girl said should be right, it seems that it is really a child who followed his father to collect medicine and got lost.

Looking at the little girl's frightened eyes on herself, Taylor smiled, pulled down the hood of the coat on her head, and showed a beautiful face in the cold moonlight.

Tonight the clouds were deep and foggy, the moonlight was already dim, and the shade of the trees overhead, even if Taylor had a lighting magic hedron hanging on his horse, it was still very dark here, and Taylor had a hood on his head, and almost his entire cheeks were dark, no wonder it scared the little girl.

At this time, Taylor pulled down the hood, the night breeze blew the soft blonde hair, the faint light illuminated the clear cheeks, and a rose on her chest that was as pure as her trembled in the night wind, and the little girl was finally no longer so frightened.

Taylor smiled and said, "Will my sister take you home?"

The little girl timidly replied, "Okay...... Thank you, thank you, pretty sister. ”

That innocent sound of the beautiful sister made Taylor sneer, reached out and picked up the little girl, and carried her onto the horse.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and the beasts that had traveled to forage for food watched in the silence and darkness as the two women and the horses disappeared into the distance.

Taylor rode his horse, looked down at the frightened little girl in his arms, and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?"

The little girl seemed to be a little uncomfortable by the horse, twisted her thin body, and said, "My name is Lily, sister, what is your name?"

"My name is Taylor, Lily sleep a little bit, I'll be home in a moment. Taylor replied.

After a night of fright, the little girl Lily was already exhausted and very sleepy, and at this time she leaned into Taylor's warm embrace, gradually closed her eyes, and fell asleep.

Feeling the little girl fall asleep in his arms, Taylor sighed inwardly and recalled the words of his mentor.

Assassins are supposed to be cold-blooded, cold, heartless, and ruthless, turning into the coldest assassination machine in blood, which is the creed of many assassins on the mainland, but the creed of the Brotherhood of Light has never been like this.

Taylor remembers that as a child, Mentor Herris used to tell her, "We are Assassins who walk under the light, and although we are in the darkness, we must still turn our hearts to the light, and under the light, all things are empty, and killing for justice is allowed, and this is the creed of our Brotherhood of Light." ”

Taylor had always remembered these proverbial creeds, and it was difficult for her to truly understand the precious meaning of them, but she always remembered that her mentor had asked her not to be blinded by blood killing, to be indifferent enough to the lives of her enemies, and not to show mercy, otherwise she would be the one who would die, but in normal times, she had to keep the true feelings in her heart.

Come to think of it, Mentor Herris didn't have much objection to him following Di Xue at the beginning, and he didn't want to let himself fall into the chaotic and betrayal intelligence work of the military too early, so as to protect the weak truth in his heart.

The delicate Emperor Xue was naturally aware of Mentor Herris's good intentions, and he often used his actions to maintain this pure and true affection for the silent girl who followed him, such as when Taylor dragged him through the streets of the Eternal City when he was young, playing hide and seek with the guards, he often used Origin magic to heal poor people who looked down on doctors and Brotherhood members who were injured in the line of duty.

Di Xue once said to her: "The invisible is powerless to save, but what is seen can be ignored?"

Taylor was a little grateful for the qiē that these people around him silently did for him, and his heart was a little sweet, and then he thought: I actually thought of that guy Di Xue again, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, did he really have such a big impact on himself?

The little girl, Lily, snuggled up in Taylor's arms and fell asleep, and the little girl writhed a little uneasily, not knowing whether it was the cold wind brought by the galloping wind, or the nightmares brought about by the experience of fear.

Taylor paid careful attention to the road conditions on the official road in the woods, and at the same time paid attention to the little girl shivering in the cold wind with the corner of his eye, looking at Lily's dirty little face, he couldn't help but think of his own life experience, and he was also a little sentimental.

She had been picked up by Master Herris on a cold winter night, when she was a baby in swaddling clothes, much smaller than Lily who was now snuggled in her arms.

Seeing that she was about to leave the forest, Taylor put away some complicated moods, and just as she was about to wake up the little girl and tell her that she was about to reach the village where she lived, Taylor suddenly felt an alarm, and a dangerous aura flashed in her heart, she grabbed the reins of the horse violently, and the painful steed neighed, and the tall man stood up.

Just a few meters in front of the horse, a slender gold wire reflected a palpitating metallic cold glow under the cold moon, and it turned out to be an extremely thin tripping horse rope made of golden silk!

With Taylor's horse control skills, she could not be thrown off the horse even if the horse stood up, but when she tightened the reins, she was very decisive and rolled off the horse with the little girl in her arms.

"......Whoosh" more than a dozen crossbow arrows whistled from the forest, and the people in front of the ambush saw that Taylor had discovered the trap in advance, did not break into the encirclement, and decisively picked up the crossbow arrows and began to attack, and the tall horses raised by the Brotherhood were hit by several arrows, and with a terrible wail, they fell in a pool of blood.

Taylor's reaction was almost swift, and when his gentle body fell to the ground and instinctively felt the danger, he slapped the grass with his backhand!

The dazzling light erupted in the palm of her hand, this light illuminated the entire night forest, startling the sleeping forest birds to fly in fear, the light raged, unscrupulous destruction, just the so-called righteous light, the light was unscrupulous, the powerful Brotherhood of Light martial arts knocked the earth out of cracks, and gravel and weeds flew in the air.

The earth trembled, and the blood of the horses was shaken and splashed in the air, and after the light, in the rain of blood, a white-clothed phantom soared up, like a fallen leaf in the forest, and retreated quietly and swiftly towards the road from which it came.

In such a short period of time, if an ordinary warrior encounters such an attack, he has no time to think, but Taylor's heart is full of thoughts, and he makes a choice in an instant, and retreats in the direction he came.

The fallen leaves fell silently, and Taylor was earth-shattering when he floated down in the air, the previous light blow was indeed powerful, but it also consumed a lot of her fighting energy, and at this time she transported all the remaining light fighting energy to her legs.

The short skirt flew, Taylor's legs emitted a bright white glow, the light burned hot, as if a ball of fire quickly rolled across the earth, burning a long black road in the forest, Taylor had no intention of hiding, and ran back the way he had always come, since he was attacked and killed, it had been discovered, Taylor was very decisive to consume all his fighting energy on running, and the most important thing now is to get out of the encirclement, hiding is not what needs to be done now.

Another round of crossbow arrows flew in, but Taylor, who was running with all his might, was so fast that they all shot into the air.

A short distance forward according to the official road is a human town, where there are imperial troops and militia, and if a good Brotherhood member is allowed to enter the vast red dust, he can definitely quickly blend into the crowd in the intricate streets, so the front seems to be the best place to escape.

But Taylor doesn't think so, such a well-arranged assassination plan, the other party must have been prepared, Taylor doesn't know how the other party knows his whereabouts, but thinking that since the enemy can understand his whereabouts, he must have investigated her, so the other party must know that for her, it seems to be a lot of ambushes ahead, but it is the most suitable direction to escape.

So Taylor did the opposite, did not hide in the jungle, did not force a breakthrough, but put his legs bright, and ran back arrogantly, only to speed up with all his strength and get out of the encirclement as much as possible.

The road ahead was cut off, and the forests on both sides seemed to be densely covered with shrubs and giant trees, suitable for concealment, but it was the best place to set traps, and at least when you walked back, there were no traps and ambushes on the official road when you walked all the way.

Although Taylor was a little distracted during the rush before, he had been vigilantly paying attention to the surrounding situation, otherwise he would not have been able to hang the line and restrain the horse at the last moment, if she was a few meters forward, the horse was tripped and fell, and she would be greeted by a perfect ambush set by more than a dozen martial arts masters.

Taylor made it very clear that he did not find an ambush on the way here, not because the enemy did not lay an ambush, but because the person who was in ambush was higher than himself.

But she still ran in this direction, and the teacher taught her that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, as long as she is given time to accumulate strength, then even if the other party is higher than herself, she is not impossible to fight.

What's more, she really wants to fight at this time.
