At night.

The Maple Leaf Mercenary Group found a lake to camp.

They spent a day crossing White Wolf Peak and hurried to the depths of the Amician Mountains.

The ancient mountain forest road is rugged, and the wild beasts in the mountains at night are even more ferocious and violent. It is not suitable for traveling, so the team plans to wait until dawn tomorrow morning before continuing to set off.

The mercenary group first set up the tent and started to light a fire to cook. After everything was ready, they went to call the two people in the carriage to get down.

Xu Shuo stepped on the horse and walked down in an upright manner.

However, the girl behind him jumped directly!

It landed firmly on the gravel ground.

The mercenaries who were about to help him paused for a moment.

After getting out of the car, Sora looked at the surrounding environment as usual. Until she noticed that Xu Shuo seemed to be looking at her, she quickly focused her gaze on it.

The two looked at each other for a second.

Sola suddenly seemed to have realized something, stroking her veil to hide it, and whispered: "Don't nuns usually behave like this?"

Xu Shuo smiled: "There are also lively nuns."

There are even those who kill everyone.

There are many female believers in the Heretic Tribunal run by the Holy Lady of Light.

Sora nodded and followed the young man towards the camp.

The main reason why she relaxed her vigilance just now was because Xu Shuo had said before that the Maple Leaf Mercenary Group existed to disguise themselves.

This means that the other party is likely to understand from the beginning that their action is not simple and is half-informed.

Therefore, after being away from the crowded city-state, Sola subconsciously relaxed a little.

The tent prepared for the two of them was also located in the center of the encirclement. The dinner was boiled beef and some mushroom soup, as well as cheese and rusks, which was extremely rich.

Although the caravan is also disguised, the caravan's carriage does contain a lot of things that can be called cargo, the most common ones being food and luggage.

The mercenaries eat different food than they do.qδ

At this time, the wild beasts hunted on the road are being roasted.

The beast was brown and black all over, with fluffy hair and stubby limbs that did not look like a wolf, but rather resembled a bear species.

Seeing Sola's eyes on the wolverine, Xu Shuo said: "The most common beast in the White Wolf Peak is the wolverine, and the closer you get to the depths of the Amician Mountains, the more wolverines there are. Although they live alone,

It’s a species with habitual habits, but there are too many of them, and there are very few natural enemies here. We may encounter attacks from them in the future.”

Listening to the young man's eloquent explanation, Sora was stunned for a moment, then nodded as if he was stunned.

Boiled beef is not very delicious because it is just boiled with water and salt.

While Sora was biting the meat, his eyes suddenly turned sharp and he looked up at the forest behind him.

In the dark night, only the firelight on the lake side flickered. The calm lake was like a mirror, reflecting the moonlight in the sky, making it barely possible to see things around the lake.

However, the mountain forest behind was completely dark, and the towering trees were densely clustered, like a dense mass of ink surrounding them.

It's not completely silent here. Occasionally, there are rustling sounds, or the faint roar of beasts in the distance.

Sora looked alert and scanned the dark woods.

Xu Shuo didn't touch the boiled beef at all, and ate the bread and said, "Don't worry, creatures like wolverines lie dormant day and night, and this is the time for them to hunt."

Sora nodded when he heard this: "This way..."

Um??

She was stunned midway through nodding.

——Now is the time for wild beasts to hunt?

--Don't worry?

Did you say it the other way around?!

Just when they found this lake, the mercenary group was attacked by several wolverines, and it took a lot of effort to kill them all.

It happened to be nightfall.

Just after Xu Shuo finished speaking

After those words, the surrounding mercenaries who were preparing dinner for themselves also stopped what they were doing, and a dozen of them pulled out the heavy swords and hand shields hanging on their waists.

The hand shield is somewhat compact and has a strap on the back to tie the shield to your arm.

While the mercenaries were guarding the surroundings, the leader of the mercenary group who looked quite stable also walked over and smiled at the two of them.

"We may not have a good rest tonight, but you two don't have to worry too much, we will arrange for patrols."

"Thanks for your hard work."

Xu Shuo smiled gently and nodded.

The leader of the mercenary group looked at him calmly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the young man didn't seem to be unhappy or showing any discomfort.

Then, he also expressed his greetings to the nun next to him.

Sora also gave a polite smile.

After getting along with each other for a long time, she had already discovered that the leader of the mercenary group had a somewhat different attitude towards the two of them.

Although it doesn’t look like much on the surface, it’s actually a bit different!

Oh, just because he gave you money?

Sora took another hard bite of the boiled beef before finally tearing off the piece of meat with difficulty. Just as she was swallowing, several fast-moving beasts suddenly appeared from around the woods!

They leaped down from the trees at extremely fast speeds, extending their sharp claws to attack the nearest mercenary!

The brown and black hair is a wolverine!

The mercenaries who had been prepared did not panic at all. Except for the mercenaries who stayed at the camp, the remaining dozens of people ran out happily, raised their swords and began to kill the dinner.

Sora looked at it with a sigh on his face.

There are no restrictions on the magic and fighting energy in this world, and all ordinary people can learn it. That is to say, it is a little difficult to access magic, but almost all warriors can learn the energy.

Those are the breaths emanating from their bodies, some are as strong as mountains, and some are as light as the wind.

The battle ended quickly.

However, they were just having dinner when two groups of wolverines attacked.

The smell of blood filled the surrounding area of ​​the lake, and the mercenaries handled the battlefield neatly. If there were too many beasts that could not be handled, they were taken out of the camp and buried.

Sora frowned when he saw this: "It seems like we won't be able to sleep well tonight."

"Wolverines have the habit of hibernating. Now that it's getting cold, they need to stock up on food before hibernating." Xu Shuo said.

"You seem to know a lot about these gossips?" Sora said suddenly curiously.

"When I have nothing to do at home, I read all kinds of books. Occasionally I encounter this kind of situation when I go out hunting. Once I see it more, I get used to it." Xu Shuo smiled.

"oh……"

The evil noble.

Although she was complaining like this in her heart, the girl may not have even noticed it. She had subtly relaxed a little.

…

After dinner, everyone planned to take a rest.

We will continue our journey early the next morning, so it is not the right time to stay up late.

Xu Shuo and Sola greeted each other and then entered their tents. Their tents were very close to each other, but they did not rest in the same tent.

He was not in a hurry to rest, he just leaned on the soft couch and continued reading the magic book.

Time passes slowly.

The footsteps of mercenaries patrolling could be heard, and sometimes there were a few people talking quietly, and another wave of wolverines attacked them on the way.

After the battle outside ended, a breeze suddenly blew through the tent.

Zuo Fang's figure swept in quietly.

He first sighed happily, and then lay directly on the soft mattress.

The camp prepared by the mercenary group was excellent.

There was even a couch in the tent.

This is simply a luxurious level of camping in the wild!

Even if it's just one night

, the Knights of the Sun were reluctant to bear the suffering of their Pope, so the goods prepared on the carriage were actually used to improve the Pope's life.

Xu Shuo, who was reading a book, glanced at him.
