Because of Lanser's persistent refusal, the matter of canceling the contract had to be left alone.Terrence reviewed the whole matter carefully, and found that the original purpose had not been achieved, and he even caused himself a big trouble.

"...Go to hell." Looking at the blond knight who had become more clingy because of his expression of emotion, Terrence turned his blushing face away while muttering angrily.

In any case, after these chores came to an end, Terrence finally decided to set off.He had already stayed in the village for quite a while, and now that his injuries had healed, and even Lanser had recovered, there was really no reason to continue to stay regardless of the affairs of the outside world.

"You really can't be trusted, and you have to go back on what you said?" Chris, who came to see him off, looked at Terrence who was standing with Lancer.

"This matter is my decision, and it has nothing to do with the master." Lancer stepped forward, blocking Chris's eyes full of reproach.

"Lancer." Chris cast his gaze on the blond knight, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"You don't need to come forward, Lancer." Terrence stood up from behind Lancer, and he walked up to Chris and bowed.

Such behavior made Lancer call out Terrence's name in surprise.

Terrence straightened up and said to Chris: "It's true that I went back and forth, and I'm sorry for it, but I will never regret it. I need him like I need my own hands. For me, Lancer is The road sign that guides me forward, forgive me for my big words, I need his support more than Ivan. So I hope you can convey my apology to Ivan for me."

"You don't have to do this." Lancer walked to Terrence, "As for my matter, I have already stated to Ivan before leaving that it is my wish to follow you, and you don't have to bear any responsibility for it."

Chris watched the interaction between the two, and the corners of his mouth that had been tense suddenly turned up.

"Although I really hate you, I have to say that I also admire you. Dare to examine yourself and be firm on your own path. This is what a man does." Chris took a deep breath and turned to the blond knight. "Lance, since you have chosen the path you want to go without hesitation, don't be a fool and disgrace us Chevinlieu."

"Chris..."

"Let's go quickly." The tall man waved his hand impatiently, "It's rare to come back, but it turned out to be a mess like a raging wave. Since this is the case, it's better to leave quickly, and I can take a good breath."

Lanser heard the approval of himself from Chris's words, couldn't help standing up straight, and replied loudly: "Yes!"

——Sigh, having a good partner who can identify with oneself can really transform a person.

Thinking of Lanser's unruly and self-willed appearance before, Chris scratched his hair and silently stepped aside.

Terrence expressed his thanks to the elder again, turned around and prepared to leave, but the shouts from far to near made him subconsciously stop in his tracks.

Ivan, who was not there, ran out from the dense forest in the distance. He ran all the way to Terrence and stopped. The excitement and intense exercise made him gasp/breathless.

"Is there anything else you want to say?" Terrence pulled Lanser from the side. Although he had made it clear to Ivan later that he would never respond to the other party's feelings, he was still worried that the child would not speak. out amazing.

Ivan raised his head, clenched his fists and said, "Please let me go with you! I know you don't like me, but this doesn't prevent me from following you!"

"Eh..." The young man's momentum was astonishing, and Terrence was choked for a moment.Because the blond knight beside him happened to say the same thing as Ivan, did he really deserve to be called a brother?

While thinking about it, Terrence cast his eyes on the elder: "This...I'm afraid it won't work. You can't leave here at will, can you?"

He objected to Ivan in this way, this time he sincerely thanked the village for the custom.

But the elder quickly dismantled Terrence: "Oh, it's okay."

"What?!" Chris was the first to refute.

The old man stroked his beard with a smile: "I was thinking that the customs in the village should also be changed. What's the benefit of everyone guarding this piece of broken forest. So whoever wants to travel, just go, As long as you don't tell the secrets of the village, there is nothing to restrain you."

All the members of the Chevenlieu clan present became agitated because of the elder's words, talking among themselves.

The elder coughed twice to calm everyone down, then turned to look at Ivan and said, "However, if you are not strong enough, if you leave this land, you will not only disregard your own safety, but also cause trouble for others. So Ah, you'd better train yourself, Ivan. If you still want to go out then, I will never stop you."

Ivan, who was originally rejoiced by the elder's approval, immediately became depressed. Chris grabbed his shoulders and yelled at Terrence and Lancer in dissatisfaction: "Hurry up, you brats! Don't come back!"

In this way, Terrence embarked on the journey again amidst the roars that shocked the birds.

"Drink some water." Lancer handed Terrence the spring water he had just poured.

Terrence raised his head to look at the dense canopy, and said with some concern: "If you go all the way north like this, you should be able to see the city, but you haven't met Captain Evan and the others, so I don't know what happened to them. "

"Don't worry, there must be no problem." Lancer comforted him while kneeling beside him.

"Thank you for your hard work along the way." Terrence smiled and handed the wooden barrel back to Lancer. "Drink some, too. You just fought against a monster, didn't you?"

"Cough...Okay, okay." Lancer took over the wooden barrel and drank the rest of the water uncomfortably.

"... Hey, what kind of expression is that on you!" Terrence's face couldn't help turning red. "It's just a drink of water, what are you thinking, idiot!"

He stood up slowly: "Okay, before it gets dark, let's continue on our way."

After Terrence finished speaking, he didn't care about Lancer packing up his things, and walked forward alone.

Since Lancer confessed, the atmosphere between the two has become awkward from time to time.Small things that are obviously meaningless in ordinary times will be suddenly magnified, which makes people care about it.

Terrence touched his chest - obviously he was disturbed by that guy, but he didn't feel agitated at all, why?

It can't be... like him, right?

Thinking of this, Terrence suddenly stopped and shook his head.This is impossible, and it would be too strange to have a relationship with a subordinate.

"What's the matter, master?" Ranser who caught up with Terrence then asked.

"It's nothing, really!" Terrence was startled, woke up from his distraction, and pushed Lancer's back. "Let's go now."

When it was getting dark, the two happened to find an open space suitable for camping.

"Just rest here, today." Lancer asked Terrence.

Terrence nodded, walked to the surrounding trees, mobilized the wood elements to connect them with his own feelings, and used magic to make traps, while Lancer took advantage of this time to find food.

Such tacit behavior was repeated within two days of entering the forest area.

When Lancer came back with the flamingo, Terrence had just completed the last trap.

"Because I can't eat that much, so today's food is this, and I picked some fruits by the way—it's not good for your health to always eat meat."

Lancer shook the prey he had prepared in advance to prevent it from being attracted by the smell of blood, and set up a bonfire in the middle of the open space.

"The hunting time has been shortened again today. It seems that your integration of magic and martial skills has gone further." Terrence sat down away from the hot flames, and watched Lancer handle the food with his chin in his hands.

He thought for a while and said, "Although it is impossible for me to become a god, there may be a way to make you a dragon knight."

"Huh?" Lancer looked away from the dripping barbecue and looked at Terrence who was thinking about something.

"As long as you get a dragon skeleton, put magic circles and runes on it, you can use magic anyway-the long-term operation problem will be solved. But because there is no soul, the dragon itself will not be conscious Yes, I can’t use spells by myself, so the difference from the ancient dragon is still a bit big... Could it be that the only function is deterrence? If so, there is no need for a skeleton, and I will make a skeleton out of metal The model can come out..."

"Let's put those things aside and eat something."

Seeing that Terrence was thinking deeper and fascinated, Lancer put down his work and walked over to hand Terrence a fruit.He didn't want to see the little master stay up all night because of his eagerness to study.

Terrence blinked, and his dilated pupils began to focus. He took a bite of the food, and still couldn't forget: "How is it? Are you interested? Although it is a big project, it is not impossible to gather the strength of several people. Oh well. A modern-day dragon knight, sounds good."

"If it's fighting for you, it's certainly good. If it's asking me to show off, it's better not to thank you. I'm not used to being noticed by insignificant people."

Lancer's slightly cold words only caused Terrence to blink, and said in confusion, "I thought you'd been listening to the stories of your ancestors, and you would have ambitions to restore your reputation."

"Others maybe...?" Lancer sat back noncommittally, "but my ambition is you."

"...hehe." Terrence threw the leftover fruit core on Lanser's head and ignored him.

When the grilled meat on the flames finally gave off an attractive aroma of cooked food, Terrence closed his eyes and stood up, ready to walk over, but he stopped suddenly just as he took a step.

"Lancer." Terrence signaled.

Lancer put the barbecue on the clean leaves prepared aside, and stood up.

In the quiet night, the leaves of the trees were rattling by the night wind, but both of them, who were familiar with the battle, could sense the restlessness in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the bushes surrounding the two people shook as if touched by something, and a charging unicorn was violently rolled up by the bulging branches.

"Hurry up, Lancer!" Terrence, who dominated the plants, shouted.

"Yes!" Lancer raised his long sword, and before the monster could break the branch, he jumped up and stabbed the long sword hard into the opponent's head.

The Vajra Beast has thick fur and hard bones, especially the weak point of the head, which is difficult to break through with ordinary sharp blades. Lancer's long sword infused with vindictive energy cut a scar less than one centimeter on the Vajra Beast's forehead, and then the green wood The elements gathered at the tip of his sword, and the attracted plants gathered one after another, pouring into the not-so-deep wound.

The tenth-level monster wailed in pain, its body twitched violently a few times, and was suspended in mid-air without moving.

"It's like a scene like a bug hitting a spider's web... I've seen it so many times, it's also disgusting. I hope it will be quieter tonight."

Terrence commented on this scene in this way, but as soon as his words fell, the screams of being trapped were immediately heard nearby.

"I'll go and have a look." Lancer said to the unbearable Terrence.

"...I'll go with you, the voice sounds like a human being." Terrence said with a frown. "It just so happens that you can also ask him if the direction is correct."

The two people walked to the trap outside the tree, and were surprised to find that not only one person was surrounded by plants, but five or six young people in hard clothes were struggling to cut off the entangled vines.

The exclamation heard by Terrence and Lancer should be that the other party didn't check for a while and couldn't control themselves, and then they both consciously reduced their movements - they didn't look like untrained wild road mercenaries.

Lancer looked at the faces of several people carefully, and said in surprise: "Master, these are the soldiers of Captain Evan."

Hearing the familiar name, the trapped people quickly raised their heads, and one of them shouted in surprise: "It's Mr. Schevenlieu! You are safe and sound!"

It turned out that Evan's team also planned to camp and rest. Several of their scouts came out to hunt, and found the Vajra Beast that was haunting alone on the way. Unexpectedly, in the process of chasing, they not only chased the Warcraft to the place where the two of Terrence were. In the camp, he fell into a trap.

It's hard to say whether it was an oolong or a coincidence, so Terrence and Evan's team finally successfully joined forces.

Evan, who came over after hearing the news, almost burst into tears when he saw Terrence standing there unscathed.He knelt down on one knee and apologized: "It's because of my subordinates' incompetence that caused you to be in danger. Please punish me!"

The scouts who followed Evan knelt down and said, "Please punish!"

"It's too unreasonable for a boss to punish his subordinates who have suffered so much in order to find me." Terrence sighed and helped Evan up, "Get up all of you. Your loyalty to me is so sincere, This kind of behavior will make me appear narrow-minded."

"Yes!"

Evan stood up obediently. His face was full of wind and frost. He had been exploring in this forest in order to find Terrence. The exhaustion on his face could be seen at a glance, and the flashy posture of the past was gone now. .

"It's great to see you again, Captain Evan." Lancer took a step forward and said.

"This sentence is what I should say. You were not in good health at the time, but you were lost in the forest alone. I don't know how worried you are. I didn't expect that you were not only safe and sound, but also found His Excellency the Duke back intact. , It really makes me admire you!" Evan said here, feeling depressed for some reason.

"Captain Evan?" Lancer frowned worriedly.

Evan clenched his fists and suddenly knelt down towards Terrence again.

"What's wrong?" Terrence asked.

"Your Excellency, it's really hard to say...During your absence, great changes have taken place in the city of Aldelete, and even your status in the imperial capital..."

Terrence froze for a moment, but his expression didn't change because of Evan's vague words.He seemed very calm and said: "What happened, you stand up and talk slowly."

It turned out that Lancer and Evan entered the Bone Tower forest first after the scouts separated, and the scout team stepped into the forest a few days later than them. But in these few days, the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes .

Killed by Terrence in the forest, the body of the gunman from the royal family of Sealand was brought back by their companions. The Grand Duke of Sealand used this as evidence to speak to the Queen who was far away in the imperial capital, claiming that the people of the Abant Empire He tried to provoke a war, and for this purpose killed his own nephew who came to help when he heard that the city of Aldelet was in trouble.

He even lied that Terrence also died in the turmoil in the city.

The leader of the Lawrence Legion had no choice but to go to the imperial capital to explain the situation, but he was slandered as colluding with Abant, otherwise there would never be a riot in Aldelete.He also claimed that he thought Lawrence was the culprit who killed Terrence, and it was precisely because Lawrence wanted to conceal his crime that he lied that Terrence was taken away and disappeared.

This incident caused commotion throughout the country, and the Goshawk Legion was even regarded as a gathering group of fallen people who betrayed its master, and was cast aside by everyone.

For this reason, the head of the Lawrence Legion was imprisoned in the prison of the imperial capital, and even the legion was restricted from moving.

Because things happened so quickly, Evan didn't even have time to do any rescue, not to mention he was still charged with finding Terrence, so he could only send people out to inquire about news while continuing to wander in the forest.

But the ensuing changes made the situation more turbulent. When the people generally demanded to denounce Abant's evil deeds, the queen's attitude of staying still gave Duke Pacino an opportunity to take advantage of it.The Duke, who had always been ambitious, took advantage of the situation and imprisoned the Queen on the grounds that she was seriously ill after being hit.

In short, outside this dangerous forest, for Terrence, it is a world more dangerous.

The author has something to say:

Although Terrence expected that some unfavorable things would inevitably happen to him during his disappearance, he never thought that things would develop to such an extent.It seems that the Grand Duke of Zealand still has not given up his plan to fish in troubled waters, and even Pacino got involved.

But after listening, he only asked one sentence: "How is the situation of the Commander of the Lawrence Legion?"

Evan replied frowningly: "When Her Majesty the Queen was still dealing with affairs, it was fine, because Her Majesty has always insisted on finding out the truth of the matter. But now that Duke Pacino is in charge, I am very worried about the safety of the Legion Commander." It’s just—it’s just that the person in charge of collecting intelligence hasn’t sent any news back, so it should be pretty safe.”

"But I'm afraid it's also temporary." Terrence said, "Pacino will not let such a suitable scapegoat go, once the legion commander is sentenced to death as the murderer who murdered me, then it will be confirmed that I was killed The fact that Bant was killed. The reason why he still hasn’t acted is probably to measure the odds of winning against Abant. What about the Legion? Have you heard anything?”

"Because of looking for your whereabouts, some people were scattered, so they were not under control, but even I don't know their whereabouts now, and the other people who stayed in Alderete were sent by Duke Pacino People took over."

"It seems that you haven't been cornered, right? Even if you still have a card in your hand, the final victory or loss is still unknown." Terrence said calmly, "Anyway, the first task is to go to the imperial capital. The reputation of the Legion Commander cannot be allowed to be tarnished/stained by Pacino, and I must also see Her Majesty the Queen and state the facts to her."

"Yes, yes! Everything follows your orders." Evan replied loudly.

Because of Terrence's calmness and fearlessness, Evan's uneasy mood also calmed down.Being deprived of his identity and being suppressed suddenly... Evan can understand whether Terrence, who suffered from this, said that he wanted to escape, or wanted to seek justice from the Principality of Sealand and Duke Pacino. matter.No matter what Terrence intends to do, Evan intends to die to keep his vow.

But Terrence's calm attitude, which was not affected at all, made him feel confident.

- Absolutely no problem, go and get back what was taken away!Alderete's flag will never fall!

The night gradually deepened, and in order to have enough energy for the next day, everyone had already fallen asleep.

Lying beside Lancer, Terrence felt the turbulent mood that did not belong to him, and asked in a low voice in the night: "Lancer, can't you sleep?"

"...Did I bother you?" Lancer asked cautiously as he opened his sleepy eyes.

"It's okay." Terrence shook his head, and in order to avoid the cold and damp ground, he moved closer to the blond knight's embrace.

"Excuse me, master, do you feel scared? We don't know the future, do you feel uneasy? If you just hold on in front of Captain Evan, you can tell me anything, even if it's just to vent That's fine too."

"Don't worry, Lancer, I'm very calm. There may be dangers ahead, but I just need to do what I can. If I can't do what I can, I'm too bad."

Lancer hugged him, letting out a muffled laugh from his chest.

"What about you? You just left your hometown, and this kind of thing happened to me—it's really unlucky, isn't it?" Terrence asked.

"If you want me to say it, I should be very lucky. Wouldn't it be better to fight side by side with you than to go back to attend endless banquets—ah, but I don't mean to expect you to encounter misfortune."

"Hmm... go to sleep." Terrence closed his eyes amid Lancer's steady heartbeat. "This is the last peaceful night."

——The next thing to be played is a high and intense movement.
