Vincent sat close to Shelley, but he didn't say anything, just looked into each other's eyes.

"Oh, Vincent, I saw a lot of things from your eyes - emotions and desires." Shelley said: "Although you can always hide the desires in your heart, they are exposed under this dark night sky. There are no traces. Listen to me, mage, actually I prefer you to show your wild side, at least it is without restraints or shackles. When you truly learn to master your emotions, I will consider your needs."

"Then what you mean is that I should drink the bottle dry again? Use those liquids to warm my body and mind?" Vincent smiled and said: "I prefer to stare into your eyes when I am awake, rather than doing anything else. Can’t remember.”

"Actually, whether you remember it or not has nothing to do with me. The first thing I take care of is my own feelings." Shelley's slender fingers crossed Vincent's chest and she said, "If you can meet my requirements, you think you are qualified to get it." The enjoyment I give you. Vincent, at that time I can soothe all the burning desires and desires in your heart, even beyond your expectations, and make you forget any other joyful enjoyment in the world. But that requires sacrifice The price - and I am determined not to suffer a loss in the process."

"Okay, okay, Shelley, I will go talk to Newton tomorrow and ask how to make my body stronger." Vincent blinked : "But I do know some spells that can improve certain environments. performance. Maybe I should memorize them tomorrow?"

"Hmph, why are you starting to say nonsense now?" Shelley stood up: "Of course you don't need me to tell you what you want to do. But I still insist on my standards remaining unchanged. It's already late at night - anyway. It's impossible to tell the specific time in this place. I'll go check on Sokka, and you go wake the two men up. It's their turn."

Shelley then left the bonfire and got into the car to help her sister cover the quilt again. Vincent chuckled softly, walked briskly to find Mond and Newton, and called them up.

The knight also wore soft armor when sleeping. He only needed to put the outer layer of armor on his body and he was fully equipped. Newton complains that Vincent interrupts his dream. There is no winner who can win the 3700th Dwarf Speed Drinking Contest .

The mage set several spell alarms around the camp before he could safely find a place to rest. The carriage where Shelley and Soka were staying was naturally not Vincent's destination, so he could only take a look inside by casting protective spells on the two ladies. The mage wrapped his body tightly in the cloak given by the Elf Queen and lay down under the carriage to sleep. With this outermost layer of protection, it seems that the uneven ground has become softer, at least it will not affect Vincent's sleep quality.

Newton sat on a stake next to the fire, supported by his warhammer. Knight Mond said nothing, but looked around from time to time. Fulfilled the duty of a night watchman. But if the Cavaliers don't chat with the dwarf, it will be inevitable that the snoozing Newton will fall asleep and continue his unfinished pursuit of the championship.

On the morning of the next day, something big happened. As soon as the mage opened his eyes, he realized something was wrong. The surrounding environment became brighter, and the sun's rays slanted down from the treetops, just shining on Vincent's face. The surroundings are no longer silent, but the chirping of birds comes from time to time, making it seem relaxed and lively.

The mage hurriedly climbed out from under the car. It was obvious that this place was no longer the camping spot yesterday. The big tree that originally blocked their direction was only left on the east side. From here all the way to the west you can see the water of the large river in the distance. The magic barrier around the camp was not damaged in any way. This indicates that no living thing has ever come close to this area. But beside the extinguished bonfire, there was only Newton snoring, and the knight Mond had gone somewhere.

Vincent opened the curtain of the carriage and saw Shelley still holding Sokka and enjoying her sleep. If it weren't for what happened here, there would always be something weird about it. Maybe the mage will continue to admire the beautiful scenery inside. Vincent hit the dwarf's helmet with his staff and asked as soon as he opened his eyes: "Newton! Where is the knight Mond?"

"Mond?" The dwarf stood up unsteadily. He straightened his helmet and said, "The knight has always been by my side, keeping vigil with me. Uh... where is he now?"

"I don't know, Newton. But I feel very bad." Vincent said: "Hurry up and wake up the two ladies. We have to be ready for everything. Those mysterious things will get out of the way for us. Come, it shows that they have achieved their goal. I don’t know why the Mond knights must leave the camp, but if a conflict occurs, we must maintain rapid mobility."

"Okay , okay , Vincent. Don't panic. As long as you stay calm, you will be able to solve the current mystery." Newton said, "As long as I'm watching over you, you don't have to worry about anything happening."

　　Shelley and Sokka were called out by the dwarf's loud voice. The two of them didn't rely on long periods of sleep, so they quickly got ready. Vincent stood at the edge of the woods, looking inside. He hoped in his heart that Knight Mond would come back safely.

The woods exuded the breath of spring, but it was clearly late autumn. This contrast made Vincent feel uneasy. If the Holy Mountain of the Elf Kingdom can remain evergreen because of special tree species, then there is obviously a powerful anti-natural force in the woods here. Although the gloomy atmosphere I felt when I first approached this place gradually disappeared. But the mage can still feel that there is a spiritual place deep in the forest. It is the golden light there that dyes the entire forest with color. The mage's eyes were involuntarily drawn there, but when Vincent suddenly woke up from this temptation, cold sweat broke out all over his body.

"Should we move on?" Vincent said: "I really can't see any sign that Knight Mond was kidnapped. There are no signs of fighting here. If he made his own decision to enter that forest, Not notifying us is equivalent to not caring whether we wait for him."

"I have no objection, Vincent. For someone who leaves the team without authorization, he should fend for himself." Shelley said: "If he survives, I hope he can remember this lesson."

"What kind of lesson? Young lady!" Mond's voice suddenly sounded from behind everyone, without any warning, startling everyone. The knight was still dressed as he was yesterday, and his face was rosy and he looked very energetic. He glanced at everyone present with his piercing eyes: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. And this way of appearing is not my original intention. If you have no objections, I think it's better to leave as soon as possible."

Vincent's eyes immediately began to look at the Mond knight. The first thing he had to understand was the knight's condition. Judging from the information fed back by the Eye of Insight, Mond did not suffer any damage. On the contrary, he became stronger and stronger. The physical characteristics of some elderly people have begun to weaken. If there is such a thing as rejuvenation in the world, then the Mond knight is undoubtedly an example.

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

"Before setting off, we still want to hear your story." Vincent walked up to the knight. Staring into his eyes, any spell that may leave memory damage can find clues in the eyes of the recipient. The mage must naturally pay attention to this. He said: "Yesterday you left without saying goodbye, left your post and left us in the camp. We need your explanation."

"Vincent, young mage." The knight said word by word: "For that incident, I apologize to you and promise that such a thing will never happen again. If you need my explanation, then I am also willing to explain the situation to you. Explanation: I have now received a sacred mission, which I received from the group of people you have always doubted. If there is a mission that represents light and goodness in this world, then it is this one. Very soon. I'm sorry that I can't tell you all the details of the matter. But I can guarantee that this matter will be helpful to the entire Blasares continent."

Vincent did not find any traces of spell effects. He just said: "Knight Mond. When did your words start to become so wordy? You are not a person who likes long speeches. Therefore, your current state makes us very worried. If you want us to be able to go on the road with peace of mind, please allow me to conduct a comprehensive inspection on you."

"Mage Vincent, if this can make you feel at ease, then let's do it." Knight Mond unexpectedly smiled: "This little waste of time is still allowed."

The mage stepped forward, placed his hand on the Mond knight's chest, and then began to check whether he carried magic. Seeing Vincent's solemn expression, Shelley also put her hand on the rapier. Newton protected Soka and looked at the mage and knight with some concern. However, Mond looked relaxed and seemed to have no more psychological burden.

A long while passed. Vincent took back his hand, he thought for a while and said: "Knight Mond, you have too much vitality of life in your body, they even make your body younger and younger.

There is a powerful force lurking in your body, but it is very peaceful and will not cause any harm to you, at least for the time being. "

The knight's eyes widened in surprise. He patted the armor on his body and said: "Vincent, your observation skills are really very keen. Can you see such things?" Then he smiled and explained: "This task assigned to me by the God of Light will not do anything to me. Don't worry about causing harm. I'm still me, Knight Mond."

"If it were you before, you would never say that." Vincent sighed: "I don't understand why you accepted this kind of commission. Did you plan everything from the beginning when you chose this path? No. , I’m afraid this is impossible. I think you are attracted by some kind of power."

"What I am carrying now is hope, sacred hope, so I need your help." Mond said: "When necessary, I will tell you in detail. So friends, now we should continue to stay here to discuss , or cheer up and move forward?”

Vincent looked at the paladin Mond, but what appeared in his mind was the high-spirited Wood or the young Lambert. It seems that that power not only made Mond's body younger, but also revitalized his mind. But Vincent doesn't like this change, it's too incredible and elusive to control. The mage suddenly recalled that those strange things not only extended an invitation to the knight, but were also very interested in the little angel Soka. As long as you delay here for too long, it will inevitably cause unnecessary problems. The mage patted Knight Mond on the shoulder and asked everyone to get in the car.

Shelley leaned into Vincent's ear, lowered her voice and said in Drow: "Should we watch this knight closely? Is he in danger now?"

The mage shook his head and wrote on Shelley's hand: "Just wait and see what happens."

They were on the road again, and this time they felt like they were freed from the trap. With every step away from the woods, Vincent felt more relaxed. The day and night surveillance gaze behind him seemed to be gradually dimming. The mage gradually raised his head and was able to return more energy to the work of making the golem. You won’t always look behind you like a frightened bird. But sometimes, when Vincent sees the Mond knight, he always falls into endless thoughts.

It was just one day, when the moon rose into the sky early and appeared at the same time as the setting sun, they were surprised to find that they had reached the point where they needed to cross the river again. Vincent looked at the map in his hand with some confusion. The journey that originally took half a month took less than half the time. The golden forest behind it has long been hidden behind the hills, and no trace can be seen. Could it be that after taking a detour for a day? Do they have super speed?

"Thousands of stones! Those orcs demolished the wooden bridge here again." Newton said angrily: "If I see them again, I will treat their bones in the same way and let them experience it for themselves. Feel this way.”

"Isn't that too cruel? Uncle dwarf." Sokka still hadn't figured out Newton's "seniority".

"No, my dear little girl." Newton said: "There are too many bad guys in this world waiting for me to kill. I have killed a lot of them, but not enough. Those orcs can only do some small tricks sneakily, not at all. Don’t dare to face my hammer! Vincent, use your eyes to see, there are traces of orcs around. I will demolish them one by one! Or use them to pave new bridges!"

"Okay, brave dwarf warrior. It's not impossible for us to get through." Vincent said: "But if you continue to yell, I will order the banshee to carry you to the other side. Now. Return to your position quickly. Come on. We're leaving."

Hector River like shadows , and headed north persistently. This place is no longer controlled by humans. The orcs are entrenched here like blood-sucking leeches. But fortunately, you can move along the river without running into too much trouble, and you don't have to worry about being contaminated by the filth left by the orcs .

As long as the water in this river still has the unstoppable power of running, the orcs will not be able to pollute it, and they will not be willing to approach it.

But once night falls, there will still be chilling sounds all around. Not only the orcs, but some terrifying beasts also came out to wreak havoc while the evil enveloped them. It is said that dire wolves and winter wolves followed the orcs' footsteps and slipped down from the high mountains in the north. They often raided villages, dragging away livestock and even lone travelers. The inhabitants of the Holy Greafury cursed these predators. The orcs fed them with the meat they robbed, and even trained them into mounts.

Vincent takes the trouble to set up magic traps every night so as not to be caught off guard when he encounters an attack. They never lit fires at night so as not to attract the attention of their enemies. Since various reptiles will emerge from the black earth, centipedes, earthworms , ground spiders and many things that cannot be named, together with the buzzing mosquitoes, seriously affect everyone's sleep quality—— But the Mond knight didn't seem to be disturbed in any way - the next few days of travel were simply torture. Much of the spirit brought was used to cleanse insect-bitten skin, and the priest's spells were overkill in this regard. Such behavior made Newton nag sadly all day long.

However, on the morning of the fifth day, they stopped again. in front of their eyes. Under the dawn, the Roof Mountains were clearly visible, standing like a huge shadow in front of them. The peaks are covered with white snow, reflecting the dazzling light. Its topmost peak is like piercing a big hole in the sky, and even the stretching sea of clouds has to avoid that sharp edge. Many broken hills extend from the foot of the mountain, the nearest one is more than ten miles away. There were no trees on it, and it looked very desolate. At most, there were only a few sparse grasses growing on it like scabies. The melting snow water every spring washes away the hills with great force. Only the big trees that have grown for thousands of years can hold on to the land with their root systems and prevent them from overturning. Now, what Vincent and the others have to face is this unprotected area.

"I love this place so much." Newton cheered excitedly: "Look at the Roof Mountains! And Crown Peak! Next to it are the Ice Furnace Peak and the Forge Cliff. We dwarves have worked here for generations. , there are thousands of stones here for us to express our creativity! To be honest, when I retire, just give me a strong chisel and I can build you the most beautiful palace! I really can’t wait to get in there Holy land! Now, I seem to have booked a jingling gouge!"

"Before enjoying the hospitality of the dwarves, we should consider how to extinguish the enthusiasm of the orcs." Vincent set up a pergola over his eyes with his hands and looked far into the distance: "There are at least thousands of orcs lying between us and Roof Ridge Mountain. They A camp has been set up, and maybe there are cages specially made for dwarves, ladies, knights and mages.”

"Aha! What a coincidence!" Newton shouted: "They really care about me, and they even prepared a pre-meal exercise before going home! I said, friends, what are we waiting for?"
