The orange sunshine spreads its remaining energy, and summer is like an old man in the twilight trying to squeeze his last strength, hoping to leave more vitality to the world.

However, when the coolness of the breeze surrounds him and teases him, he is still indifferent, Xia Tian is finally awakened by the cruel reality - his body is no longer good.

So, Xia Tian could only gradually restrain his wings, turn around slowly, and hand over the world to the strong man in early autumn.

“It’s autumn.”

The middle-aged man with a delicate face on the tall horse was admired by the yellowing woods along the path.

Behind him were two swordsmen wearing half-body metal armor and riding horses, and two teams of soldiers.

"Mr. Leed, why did you think Master Vincent choose to live in Gray Forest City for a long time?"

The thinner of the two swordsmen grabbed the horse's belly and got to the middle-aged man's side and a little behind.

"The family estate on the deep green plain should be more comfortable than here, right?"

The Joseph family has a territory in the Deep Green Plain. On the other side of the city of Gray Forest, there is a manor belonging to the Joseph family on the edge of the forest.

The name is called the manor, but in fact the strong high walls and towers are comparable to small castles. They are very safe inside and have sufficient other living needs.

Even if you like the excitement of Gray Forest City, you can rest occasionally. There is no need to stay forever, so the swordsman has such doubts.

The middle-aged man known as "Lord Leed" smiled and continued to appreciate the scenery, saying calmly: "The Joseph family's territory in the deep green plain is an enclave. Although a manor was built there, it is still isolated and helpless."

"But Grey Forest City is different. Although it is just a small border town, it exists completely independently. Even if there are no caravans coming here to trade, Grey Forest City will still stand well."

"The manor is adjacent to the city of Grey Forest. If the Joseph family could own the city of Grey Forest, then the deep green plains would no longer be an enclave."

The swordsman suddenly understood something and asked tentatively: "You mean, is Mr. Vincent for that female city lord?"

Leed still admired the scenery, but did not answer this time.

Although he was considered a person around Count Kenner, he would not report to him about the affairs of the Joseph family, and a lot of the content was just his conjecture.

So Leed could not determine what kind of methods the Joseph family would use, marriage, peace talks, or war.

But he could be sure that all of this stopped with Vincent's disappearance.

"Here, Lord Leed."

Another swordsman next to him reported without expression.

Leed set his eyes again, and the city of Gray Forest appeared in his sight, and there was a group of people waiting under the city.

...

"Ri'an, my name is Ruth Tass, and I'm the adjutant of the city lord Alia Tass."

The female knight who jumped off the horse's back stroked her chest and said respectfully: "After the autumn, the monsters are restless. In order to prevent the monsters from attacking the city, the city lord is hunting in the Gray Mu Forest recently, so he cannot come to greet him in person. Please forgive me."

"You are kind to you, it is my honor to have a female knight as beautiful as Miss Ruth."

Lede has a clear understanding of his identity. Even if he has time, the lord of Gray Forest City will not wait for a person like him at the gate.

For Leed's praise, Ruth just smiled politely and continued: "The city lord's manor has prepared food and resting places. Please come with me, sir and everyone."

After saying that, Ruth made an invitation gesture, Leed and the two swordsmen also nodded in response, and then the team stepped into the gray forest city.

As an envoy of the Joseph family, Leed had good etiquette and skillful greetings on the road, communicated with Ruth very casually, and asked about news about Gray Forest City and things related to Vincent in his words.

But as the adjutant around Alya, Ruth learned how to communicate with the nobles since childhood, besides fighting skills.

She knew Leed's intentions clearly and always took the problems lightly.

Either they are unclear in their expressions, or they give ambiguous answers to make Lede guess, or they say a lot without any pain.

After a few temptations, Leed realized that Ruth was not a good person, so he stopped asking too much.

"By the way, Miss Ruth, can you take me to the place where Master Vincent lived before?"

Rus hesitated for a moment, then replied with a smile: "Of course, but that place has been bought by another gentleman now. If you want to visit, you must obtain the other party's consent."

"What is that gentleman's name? Is he a nobleman?" asked Leed.

"This...Mr. Leed, you know that we cannot reveal the identity information of the residents in the city at will..."

Rus smiled a little embarrassedly on his face, and he pondered for a moment before continuing to speak: "But the lord of the city told me to help you as much as possible. With my duty, I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you, Miss Ruth."

Leed smiled, and the beautiful female knight once again said some irrelevant nonsense.

There is no way, if you want to investigate, he will still rely on his own people.

"Miss Ruth, this entourage of mine,"

Reed pointed to the thinner swordsman beside him and said, "Bell, he wants to go to the Gray Forest City, I wonder if it's OK?"

"Of course, I'll choose a guide for Bell."

Ruth turned around and wanted to order the soldiers around him, but Leed politely refused.

"My entourage is quite introverted and likes to hang out by himself, so there is no need for a guide, right?

He can find a place to rest in the evening."

"That's it...that's OK,"

Ruth's answer was also very refreshing.

"But Grey Forest City may not be safe at night. I still hope Mr. Bell will come back soon, after all, our place is just a small place on the border."

"It's okay, he will take good care of himself." Reed's smile remained unchanged.

Then, with permission, Bell gave a small salute and left the team, turned around and disappeared on the street next to him.

After watching Bell leave, Ruth looked at Leed again, still smiling,

"Mr. Leed, is your entourage still going to visit Gray Forest City? If not, let's go to the manor to rest."

"No more, only Bell has this habit, let's keep going."

"Okay, Lord Leed, please here."

Ruth continued to lead the way and led the Joseph family's team towards the direction of the city lord's manor.

Not long after they left, Bell's figure appeared from the alley, looked at the animal skin in his hand, and turned to the other direction.
