flower key, the mysterious treasure from "The Flower Fairy". The possessor can turn into a modern profession with the help of flowers, and also possess the special clothing and standard props of this profession. It could be said that this flower key was used to pretend to be a [B] class divine instrument.

Fortunately, Thunder's way of thinking wasn't that rigid, he had a unique understanding of flower key's mystical uses.

The blazing sun hung high in the sky, and the red light shot to the ground like a rocket. The ground was on fire, reflecting the flame of oil as it boiled.

Whether it was the continuous sand or the withered weeds, they were all bright and white. There was a hint of red in the white, and from top to bottom, it looked like an enormous fire mirror. Every single one of them was the focus of the fire mirror, as if everything was about to start burning.

They had already left the vitality of the Rhine, which could be considered the border area of the Sunset Wasteland. The sun in the sky was too poisonous. The scorching sunlight burned the earth with scorching hot heat. Violent winds and sand filled with fire poison blew over, as if it could take away a layer of the skin of any traveler.

In this kind of weather, most people would choose to hide in a cool place to enjoy the cool weather or take a cold bath. However, the merchants, Mercenary and the soldiers who were on mission all did not have such good luck. They had to endure the scorching sun for a month or even several days' worth of rations, or perhaps even for the orders of their superiors or their families, in order to arrive at their destination one day earlier, and endure the pain one day less.

At this time, there was a small caravan heading towards the northernmost city of Teutonic Kingdom. The huge volume of goods and the huge weight of the mules was a huge drag on the troop's marching speed. Even though the escorting cavalry army was shouting at the top of their lungs, they were still unable to increase the troop's speed, not even by a tiny bit.

"Captain, with this speed, I'm afraid we won't make it to Fei Erde City tonight."

A knight of the fourth step, whose saliva had dried from shouting, brought a weary face back to the side of an abnormally tall and sturdy Fifth Stage Knight whose entire body was still wrapped in a Knight heavy armor. He helplessly reported his prediction.

Fei Erde City was a strategic city established single-handedly by the Fei Erde Family, one of the three great aristocrats of the Teutonic Kingdom. It was the most important fortress in the north of the Teutonic Kingdom and it was the very foundation of's family's survival. Although this city was the Teutonic Kingdom's territory in name, in reality, this city was controlled by the Fei Erde Family, and had a kind of Principality feel to it.

This caravan was the private caravan of the Fei Erde Family. They were in charge of transporting a large amount of strategic goods to Fei Erde City. After all, Fei Erde City was a city established at the edge of the Wasteland. Its strategic significance was extraordinary and it had a large number of troops stationed there, but the barren Sunset Wasteland was unable to support the three hundred thousand people inside and outside of Fei Erde City.

As for the Heavy Knight of the Fifth Stage, he was the leader of this caravan, as well as the clan Guardian Knight of Fei Erde's clan. His mission was to unconditionally listen to the arrangements made by the clan, and faithfully carry out his obligations.

The Heavy Knight of the Fifth Stage seemed to have a bad premonition, and said in an unkind tone: "I know, we'll rest here after we find a forest or oasis, and we'll continue our journey tomorrow. Although this place is not far from Fei Erde City, it's still the paradise of the indigenous bandits in Sunset Wasteland. Last time, our clan's caravan was attacked here, so we cannot let our guard down. "

The Fifth Stage heavy knight trembled when he heard this, and couldn't help but Fire Raven Mercenaries, who was in charge of guarding the convoy, remind him in an exceptionally cold tone: "You will lead your little team to spy on them, and if there is anything abnormal, they will strike first and gain the upper hand. Even with their insignificant strength as D-ranked Mercenary, they were unable to withstand three assaults from a hundred regular Knights. Knight's Code, Knight's Glory, Empire's laws, and such were all unimportant at this moment. Everything was based on the interests of the family. Also, you should send two reliable Knights to spy on the Wandering Poet who has joined our caravan halfway. I keep having the feeling that a Wandering Poet who doesn't like gold coins is not a normal person. "

"Yes."

The captain of the knights of the fourth step nodded and quietly retreated.

The Heavy Knight of the Fifth Stage looked up at the scorching sun, but his heart was still as cold as ice. There were all sorts of abnormal signs in the caravan, as well as the clan's caravan that had been raided in close proximity, which had unknowingly formed into a dark cloud of fear that could not be erased, causing the normally calm Fifth Stage heavy knight to feel a sense of restlessness.

Because some difficult and unpredictable problems had occurred in Fei Erde City, and because the caravan in front of them had encountered an unprecedented, rampant looting, there was a rare shortage of supplies. As a result, the supply of goods this time was several times more than usual, the security pressure on the caravan naturally increased by quite a bit, and the Fei Erde Family, who could not gather enough people in a short period of time, had no choice but to hire Fire Raven Mercenaries s who had close interests with their families, serving as temporary substitutes for their Knighthood.

As for the Wandering Poet that did not like gold coins, it was naturally the thunder that used flower key to transform into a violinist. The thunder that did not lack money naturally did not need to be like the ordinary Wandering Poet and rely on selling one's talent for a meagre reward. It was also because of this that everyone felt that Thunderbolt was not a good group, which was why they were so easily suspected and guarded against by the Fifth Stage Knights who were unsettled.

He still felt that it was necessary for him to tell his uneasy premonition to the backstage leader of the merchant caravan. The troublesome things that had happened in Fei Erde City had to be settled by a great figure who could suppress the situation, and this was why the leader of the merchant caravan had come.

Thinking about it, the Fifth Stage Knight suddenly reined in his horse, gradually approaching a luxurious carriage that was at least twice the size of an ordinary horse carriage, with a unique design, looking very comfortable.

It was night.

Although the Sunset Wasteland was pitifully barren, even the desert had an oasis and water source, let alone being at the border of the forest and wasteland. As for finding a small oasis, for the Fei Erde Family who had operated here for close to a hundred years, it was practically a matter of ease and familiarity.

When a waning moon hung high in the void, the night was as thick as ink. The small oasis bathed in darkness seemed exceptionally lonely and desolate. Even though the small oasis camp still had sparks occasionally flickering in it, in the endless darkness, the light was too thin.

It was as if as long as the wind was slightly stronger, he would be able to bury this place.

But soon, a group of weird figures appeared around the small oasis. They were like phantoms that destroyed this atmosphere of solitude and peace. They moved quickly and without obstruction, with a clear goal in mind.

Finally, these strange figures converged at the small oasis.

And Little Oasis was still ignorant.

Although the change of weather in the Wasteland was not as exaggerated as that in the desert, when it was hot, it could kill people. At night, it could also freeze people to death. The weather in the Wasteland was unpredictable, unpredictable, and constantly changing. It was just like the world of the aristocrats; it was always hard to fathom.

The cold wind of the wasteland made people feel like the world was changing in an unpredictable manner.

"Boss!" Don't you think that the Wasteland is too fickle? "

The one who spoke was a Knight whose entire body was still covered in exquisite soft armor. Although this Knight's heart did not belong to the Knight, and was not loyal to his position, one could tell from the calluses on his hands how strong his foundation was. It was definitely not something an ordinary Mercenary could compare with.

Coincidentally, the knight who was addressed as' boss' happened to be the knight squad leader of the fourth step. Although he had been exhausted all day, he was still a knight of the fourth step. Let alone a mere night watch, even if he had to support himself two or three times more, it would not be a problem.

At this moment, he also felt that the atmosphere today was very strange, and in his mind, there was always a shadow that could not be erased. His two hands involuntarily tightened their grip on the knight's longsword, and after adjusting the battle qi in his body, he said, "Tonight's wind is very special, it seems to have an indescribable coldness, making one's mind unsettled, as if something bad is about to happen."

As the saying goes, 'the one who speaks is unintentional, the one who hears it means the best.' "Boss, you are a Noble Knight who has cultivated to the point where you only need one more step to get a higher rank. Furthermore, you are much more experienced than us, so you are much more sensitive to danger compared to me, a mere Knight of the third step. We're on duty tonight, so you can't joke around at this time! "

The other knights also had the same view, and they all expressed their agreement with their eyes.

The squadron leader didn't want any mishap to befall these brothers who had lived with him for nearly ten years, and he also didn't want any accidents to happen to his family's caravan, so he patted his chest and guaranteed, "Brothers, you can rest assured. With me and the captain here, we can endure everything."

Indeed, Noble Knight, who was just one step away from attaining a high rank, regardless of status or actual strength, his guarantee was more practical than any other nonsense.

At this moment, several black figures shot down like devils from the sky.

This group of assassins, who seemed to be able to merge with the darkness, silently broke through the external surveillance defenses. The black double-edged sword carrying the aura of death transformed into several rays of mournful black light, easily breaking through the soft armor worn by the Knights, leaving scars on their bodies that would never fade.

These assassins were elites. They had chosen the most lethal part, the eye socket, the neck artery, the heart, and other vital parts. Even if they didn't die, they would still lose their ability to fight.

The result was as expected. Apart from the captain who barely managed to protect himself, the rest of the patrolling team members were all killed.

"Enemy attack!"

Accompanied by a loud shout from the captain of the knights, the brilliant battle qi reached its peak in an instant.
