Chapter 608

Under the stars at midnight, a strange caravan stopped their steps in a wilderness on the road to red blood castle, and set up a silent camp to spend the moonless night.

Although Byrne in the south is already one of the richest territories of the Empire, there are still a large number of thieves and monsters mutating in the wilderness and dense forest. It is almost suicide to travel at night; Even in the most prosperous red blood castle, not every section of the road has large and small hotels for pedestrians to rest and stay, and occasionally they can only sleep in the wilderness.

It's just... There are too many of them.

Around the brightly lit camp, fully armed and silent wandering knights can be seen everywhere. The loose but very orderly formation is enough to prove that each of them is an elite.

In the wilderness outside the camp, there are also pairs of eyes lurking in the dark as scouts to ensure that the camp can detect accidents around.

Of course, such a heavily guarded guard could not be an ordinary mercenary, but was hired by the yode chamber of commerce at a high price. It was the famous wandering knights in the south of the Empire - Silver blood.

In Byrne, he became a wandering knight who ran around in the wilderness and traveled far to various countries and even overseas. He was the first choice for many second sons and concubines who did not need to inherit their family property... They often stayed away from their hometown, looked for the world not marked on the map, and earned meager "blood money" with their sword.

When a wandering Knight travels abroad for four or five years, he often becomes the object of solicitation by Lord Bain - especially the organized knight regiment, which often becomes the main force of the Legion under the knight lords during the war.

"... so how did you get hired by the Joad chamber of Commerce?"

By the campfire, Sheryl leitlanch, the leader of silver blood, looked at the dusty, soup bowl like a curious baby, blinking and pulling around, and the teenager who claimed that "my name is Asriel, Asriel from lottel" sighed tired.

"This is the tenth problem. I knew you were a little talker. I wouldn't save you when I passed that forest."

The owner of the voice is a tall and indifferent female knight. Her upright and soft facial features can also see the traces of weather beaten. A huge two handed sword is always carried on her right shoulder.

"Well... That's true. A lonely, innocent and lovely boy like me will come to no good end in that kind of forest?" Asriel shrugged and his scarlet eyes glittered with cunning luster:

"But who let the big sister of Gao Leng's sherrell have a kind heart... Since you saved me, I have to let me know who the benefactor is, otherwise who should poor asrell recruit to repay her kindness in the future?"

"You'd better consider how to return to your hometown lottel first..."

Shirrell glanced at the boy he had saved in the forest before and sighed gently... Although he looked a little dusty, both his expression and posture, as well as his obviously expensive little dress, were enough to prove that the other party was indeed an aristocrat.

Although it is not the time to save people because of the particularity of this task, shirrell hesitated and decided to take the boy with him... Of course, it is not because of his identity, but he can't turn a blind eye to a child living in the wilderness.

Although this talkative and familiar teenager has been unwilling to say why he appeared alone in Bain, shirrell is not completely unable to understand... The smarter the child is, the stronger the inner guard is, and coercion will only backfire.

So the female leader sighed: "because the price offered by yode chamber of commerce is high enough, the salary of a task can let us not worry about expenses for half a year - this money 'silver blood' is very important."

"Really... If they are willing to charge such a high price, the goods escorted must be very valuable?"

"That's not the question we should ask, 'silver blood' is only responsible for the task, and the rest don't ask... This is professional ethics."

"Alas... I didn't expect to be a big sister who is good at officialdom. It's so boring."

"You have too many problems, little chatter."

"After making a fortune in my hometown, where is the big sister going?"

"... how did you jump from the last question to this one?"

The female leader sitting beside the campfire chatted with the boy without a word. Her eyes never left the dark wilderness outside the camp. The quiet midnight seemed to be within reach of the stars in the dome.

The caravan will arrive at red blood castle before noon tomorrow, so tonight... Someone will raid the caravan tonight.

However, it is a tradition of "silver blood" to ask employers, but it does not mean that they are rigid fools - just a caravan, and the yode chamber of commerce is willing to hire them to escort at a high price, which proves that they believe that they will be robbed!

But two days have passed, today is the third day, and it is midnight... There is still no sign of shirrell's "long-awaited" enemy.

Is it really just that I worry too much... The female leader frowned slightly and subconsciously clenched the handle of the big sword behind her.

There was only silence in the dark wilderness outside the camp.

"Is big sister waiting for someone?" Asriel, with an innocent face, blinked again and asked.

"Well, guess," shirrell said casually.

"Well, isn't it the man that a big sister likes... Or the man who likes a big sister?"

"Oh, are you jealous?"

"Maybe I'll be a little longer." Asriel shrugged and looked indifferent. "But now... I'm not 'fair competition' with them."

"Who told you it must be a man?"

"Er... In our time, that kind of thing doesn't seem to be recognized by the secular world?"

"Little chatter, shut up."

Frowning, the female leader's expression flashed a trace of consternation and vaguely perceived something.

Yes, it's too quiet... It shouldn't have been so quiet.

In the woods around the camp, the Knights' attendants are everywhere. They are the most elite scouts and light infantry, and they are also the eyes of the knights in the dark.

According to the agreed arrangement, someone will report the situation nearby to him after a period of time, but there is still no movement up to now.

Are you too nervous and sensitive?

Shirrell shook his head... No, it's not too sensitive at this time. Safety comes first - he not only carries the task, but also the life and death of nearly 200 people in the Knights. It's always a taboo to relax his vigilance.

"Robin!"

The woman knight who made up her mind called her deputy, a pale alemans knight with two short swords on his back but always vigilant, and a short bow for close use on his waist.

"Boss?" Robin, with a serious expression, went to the campfire and said nothing more - just doing without asking, which is the main reason why sherrell made him his deputy.

"Go to the nearby secret outpost to ensure their safety." the female Knight's expression was dignified: "today is the last night, cheer up!"

The vigilant Deputy nodded and turned away without saying a word; Just before leaving, he dropped a word "be careful yourself" and disappeared into the night outside the camp.

"This Mr. Robin... Seems to have a good feeling for the big sister."

Asriel, who was always sitting and watching, said abruptly until the man left for a long time, with an indescribable smile on his mouth: "is it the person that big sister likes... Or the person who likes big sister?"

"Shut up."

By the campfire, the female knight with a big sword on her back turned a little red, and the more the boy smiled.

"Robin... He joined us only when he was on a mission in elmond. Although he is not tall, he has unparalleled swordsmanship and is also the best scout of the Knights."

"Hmm..." Asriel blinked, vaguely remembering another guy who was also from elmond: "it seems that the big sister really cares about him."

"If you don't want to be beaten, shut up and talk." the female Knight blushed even more.

"It's just a suggestion..." the smiling teenager suddenly interrupted: "if the big sister really cares about him, it's best to let him come back quickly."

"Well, what did you say..."

As soon as the voice fell, with a sudden loud noise, the golden red fire rose in the woods!
