"Have a good trip!" Old Adrian shook Allen's hand again, then let go.

Alan waved goodbye to Old Adrian and turned to get into the carriage.

At that moment, there was a sudden commotion from the castle, mixed with a hissing sound.

Alan looked back to see a dark shadow running through the doorway.

"Arthur!" Riel recognized immediately. knui

"Oh! I have forgotten about it!" said old Adrian, "because he was too large to move in such a narrow place, I left him in the Magic Mirror of Passuri. There wasn't a single living creature in there, and it seemed to suffocate him. ”

Arthur ran all the way to old Adrian, hissing and circling around him twice, and then suddenly ran to Alan again and lay down.

"Oh, it looks like this kid wants to go with you...... He seems to be a little relieved of you. Old Adrian looked at it for a moment and said, "Phantom horses can really help you on certain occasions, for example, they never go the wrong way. It's up to you to take him with you. ”

"Of course, we'd love to have him with us!" Alan immediately mounted onto Yasuo's back, "and he'll be responsible for leading the way!"

Arthur seemed to be impatient, and as soon as Alan jumped on its back, it flailed its wings and flew up.

Seeing this, Riel quickly commanded the two unicorns to follow.

According to the directions on the map, the first stop they were going to was Moonlight Lake, more than six hundred kilometers to the west of them. But the carriage carrying these men could not take a very remote path, and none of the roads always went straight to the west, so they had to choose to make detours without stopping.

The cliff was littered with the charred corpses of werewolves and charred maple trees, and wisps of black smoke wafted from them.

Seeing this scene, Alan couldn't help but feel a little regretful......

The extreme beauty on the ten-mile maple leaf road will never be seen again......

However, it was not entirely without benefits, as the nearby forest had been razed to the ground, saving them a lot of time as they had to race against the clock, at least they didn't have to detour this part of the road.

With no forest to obstruct their view, they could clearly see the city of Krivari dozens of kilometers away, a dark city that seemed to have been reconstructed with dark elements.

No, it's not so much a city as a fortress, or, a huge, pitch-black palace. The MONOCULUS lay motionless to the side, the huge one-eyed unblinking, only the occasional movement of the eyeball. It seemed that something was still coming out of its body, dripping down like sweat, but because it was so far away, Alan couldn't really see it.

"Krivari......" Alan looked at it from afar, and secretly decided in his heart: "We will definitely come back...... No one is sacrificed in vain!"

Nearly twenty miles to the west had turned into an empty plain, so the carriage ran very fast, and it took only about an hour to cross the area. But further on, the road is not so easy. Avoiding the Eye's gaze, they took the southwest route back to Crivari, and then they accepted Alyssa's advice and ran up the Letnes River, as the "whooping" of the Lightnis River drowned out the noise of the wheels, and the wind nearby blew away the smell from them.

For the rest of the day, they spent almost all of their time in the carriage, and in order to be in a hurry, their eating, drinking, and sleeping were all settled in the carriage, and only occasionally stopped to allow Arthur to rest for a while. However, the road they traveled did not last long, and the further northwest they went, the narrower and more rugged it became, and it took them nearly a week to complete the journey that the unicorn could have traveled at full speed in two days and one night. Fortunately, Arthur led the way in front, so they didn't get lost even on the most remote path.

Originally, they thought that only the sky near Krivari was overcast, but only now did they realize that the impact of the Magic Eye was so great that they could not see a ray of sunlight even hundreds of miles away. In addition, it was already winter, and the temperature was almost only hovering around freezing.

In this way, on the evening of the sixth day, they finally saw a name that had been silently recited in their hearts for a long time on a road sign - "Moonlight Lake".

It's an intersection, and the signpost pointing northwest in the direction of Moonlight Lake is pointing northwest. It's just that unlike the other three roads, this one is narrow, barely enough for two people to walk side by side, and the road is full of fallen leaves, which looks inaccessible.

It is indeed sparsely populated in this area, and there is no light in sight within a radius of dozens of miles.

So they decided to walk instead. Arthur, who is humane and calms the other wildlife, is left in place to help look after the carriage.

But what they didn't expect was that after they had been walking forward for about half an hour, the road in front of them disappeared.

Through the faint twilight, they could dimly see a sparse forest in front of them, and in the depths of the trees there was a faint flow of streamers.

They decided to set up camp here and stay overnight to recuperate before moving on.

"From here, there is no trace of human activity. Frey said after using the Ground Listening Spell, "And Moonlight Lake is less than three hundred meters away from us. ”

"How's it going over there?" asked Allen.

"I don't know much about the water, but there are several strange creatures wandering around the shore...... Judging from their size and behavioral habits, they should be shark people stationed on the shore to patrol and guard. Frey said.

"Sure enough...... As Dad said, they've noticed since they were disturbed by the werewolves, and even this place is no longer safe......" Alan frowned.

"That's not good news...... Cynthia said, "if they're hostile to everything around them......

"yes...... It's tricky......" said Allen, "they don't have the ability to communicate with people like some werewolves, and if they treat us as enemies......"

"No, they will see us as enemies. Cynthia glanced at Alan, "My instincts tell me that the reason they're so alert is because they're guarding something......"

"Isn't it ...... It's the staff of the void......" Allen's heart tightened, remembering what old Adrian had said: "Anything that carries great magical power will be surrounded by a large number of wild creatures. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Cynthia nodded, "I'm afraid it's the same thing they want to protect as we came to take it." ”

"If that's really the case...... Alan sighed and bowed his head for a moment, "that's really ...... The worst enemy......"
