No man's wilderness.

The dull summer wind blows over the weeds that are half a person tall, making a rustling sound.

In this boundless wilderness, a low voice suddenly sounded: "Sir, this place is far enough from Aldelete. We drove all night, so we should rest here?"

After a while, a man hummed.

Immediately afterwards, the large bundles of grass stems were pushed aside, revealing six tall figures.

One of them threw the thing he was carrying on the ground casually, and the thing rolled around, revealing the face of the black-haired boy with his eyes closed.

They let the comatose people lie on the ground, each tacitly arranged a place for rest, and took out food to eat.

A person took a bite of the bread and said, "Go one more village and you will reach the edge of the White Bone Tower forest. Someone will meet us then."

Another person nodded: "Oh, but all of us withdrew from Alderete just to capture this brat, isn't that too much of a fuss?"

"Let's just follow orders and don't complain."

"I just think it's hard for everyone to get in..."

"Are you bothered by the long-winded words? Shut up and eat your food!" The man sitting apart from the others said impatiently.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the others fell silent, and the five of them glanced at each other quietly, then lowered their heads and silently gnawed on the bread.

And this silence makes the sudden groan/groan obvious.

The six of them looked at the boy lying on the ground together.

Terrence's last memory before he fell into darkness was a sweet scent.

Startled in his heart, he opened his eyes suddenly, and blinked a few times because of the sunlight at first, before he could see everything around him clearly.

The high blue sky, the wild grass all around, and a few strange men not far away.

Terrence turned his mind a few times, and wanted to sit up quietly, but was restricted by the chains that bound his hands and feet.

He pursed his lips, silently scanned the faces of the six people, and finally stopped on a man with a scar not far from him.

The man noticed Terrence's gaze, pulled out a cruel sneer, stood up and walked over: "Young master, long time no see."

Terrence frowned slowly.

Although he felt that this person's appearance was very familiar, he couldn't remember the identity of the other person at all.

The man sneered, pulled Terrence's hair halfway up and said: "You probably forget things too much, and you don't remember who I am for a long time. But I really can't forget you for the rest of my life—I can't forget you humiliation brought on me."

His expression was contorted with hatred, and the scar across the bridge of his nose seemed to be alive and twitching.

Terrence looked at the terrifying face close at hand, and the pictures of the past in his memory flashed before his eyes, and finally fixed on a vague silhouette three years ago.

"Cusack...?" he asked tentatively.

"It seems that you still have some brains." The man said approvingly, but the strength in his hand was a bit heavier, which made Terrence frowned in pain.

"You are the viscount's bodyguard." Terrence finally affirmed at this moment.No wonder the sudden turmoil in the prison seemed subtly familiar, it was exactly the method he used to get out of the prison in Cusack City.

Now being used by this man on himself in turn, it can be seen how terrible the other party's attachment is - this guy should have been executed with Viscount Cusack at that time, I don't know how he escaped.In any case, it was obvious that the other party hated him deeply.

At this time, maybe it is better for him to be obedient, but the pain made his tone worse, "I thought you and your master might be turned into a pile of bones now, why, only you are lingering Did you survive?"

"Sharp teeth and sharp mouths!"

Enraged, the man grabbed Terrence's hair and tried to force his head to the ground.The companion behind him stopped him immediately.

"Please stop, sir! This kid is still useful, please don't let him get seriously injured!"

The man turned his head and stared at his talking companion with eyes like a hungry wolf, causing the man to take a few steps back in shock.But he didn't mean to let the man go because of this, and he still insisted on staring at the man.

During this confrontation, the man remembered something, relaxed his grip and threw Terrence back to the ground.But he was not a person who could suppress his anger, and finally kicked Terrence in the stomach before giving up.

Terrence curled up, coughing in pain.At the same time, he also silently considered the current situation in his heart.

The most important point is that he won't die for a while.

Just now he deliberately provoked the man with the scarred face. If the other party wanted to seek revenge from him, he would never show mercy—no, it should be said that the man could kill him directly when he was first caught, there is no need Take him out of town at the risk of a lot of trouble.

And from the conversation between the man and his companion, it can be seen that the relationship between the six people does not seem to be harmonious.The other five people are very afraid of men, and they are indeed headed by him from the address, but they have the confidence to fight against men.This shows that there are still people above them who call the shots.Whether it is a man or the other five people, they must obey the orders of the mysterious man.

So maybe he doesn't need to worry about his safety until he meets that person.

Because of this, Terrence put the current focus on investigating the identity of the mastermind behind it—the escaped death row inmates can be used arbitrarily, and people with this identity are rare.

The six people who held Terrence hostage didn't rest in place for long. They were very cautious, cleaned up all the traces left by themselves before leaving, and set off on the journey again.

This group of people has been wandering in the wild, even passing through remote villages without going in to rest, probably because they are afraid of pursuers behind them.

Terrence wondered if Alderete City could catch up to rescue him.He felt that something must have happened in the city, otherwise it would be impossible for Lancer and the Legion to let him be taken away so easily.

But Terrence was not worried about it. At this time, the magic circle connected to Lanser on his chest became his reliable support.Knowing where his self-confidence came from, Terrence couldn't help saying that fate was impermanent in his heart.

He wandered with six strong men all the way, and had to endure the temper of the man with the scar from time to time. It was actually not easy.On the third night, the group finally entered a small border town.

Terrence noticed the name of the city and realized that he was heading east all the way. He had already left the border with the Abant Empire, and next was the Eastern Empire bordering the White Bone Tower Forest.

——It seems that this group of people has nothing to do with Abant.

Terrence, who was brought into the hotel under cover, thought as he walked.

But knowing this doesn't help the current situation in the slightest.

The group of people who had been wandering around in the wilderness suddenly entered the city, and Terrence didn't think about anything other than making an appointment with others.

And this just means that the person holding his life is about to appear.

Terrence sat silently in the corner and frowned, finally feeling a little headache about the reality of no progress.With his back against the wall, he turned to look at the four men on the other side.

The scar left the hotel with a person, not knowing what to do.

The remaining four sat on the bed playing poker, and one of them complained while playing cards: "Why hasn't Rom come back after being away for so long?"

—Rom is the name of the man with the scar.

"Who knows?" Another man with a fruit in his mouth said vaguely, "He has always been extremely arrogant, maybe he is going crazy outside now!"

"Tsk, I don't know what the higher-ups are looking for in him, but he seems to think highly of him. He's just a bandit, what the hell!"

"It's because he was ruthless. Haven't you heard? When he fled for his life and came to our place, he was covered in blood, with a bag full of monster crystal nuclei. At that time, he lost his mind. Hit people with your hands, like a murderer."

"Oh, yes. I heard people say that he is particularly daring to kill when he is on a mission."

The author has something to say:

"After all, he's not a lunatic."

These days, Roma has been watching Terrence all the time, and this is the first time he has left other people behind and went out to do errands by himself, so it is also the first time Terrence has heard them talking about that man.

Terrence has been trying to talk to these people for the past few days, trying to get some information for him to continue to think about, but the other party has always been more guarded against him, and doesn't communicate with him at all except for eating.

So at this time, Terrence tried to narrow his sense of existence and listened silently.

Those four people seemed to have had a grudge against Roma for a long time, and they complained to each other endlessly.Thanks to these guys, Terrence did get some plausible information.

After trying to avoid the death penalty, Rom seems to have been hunting monsters in the wild to make a living. Obviously, he has a bad life and looks very scary.Such a blood-covered suspicious person living in a crowded place will definitely cause an uproar, so the other party must have been in an environment where he rarely meets people.

Terrence's first thought was the Bone Tower Forest near Cusack City.

Rom has been in the forest until later loyal to the mysterious person whose identity is still unknown, which shows that the opponent's force is also a territory close to the forest.

Terrence went through all the cities near Cusack in his mind, and felt that he had grasped something vaguely, but he felt vague and difficult to distinguish the flash of inspiration.

He was trying to figure out the thought that had just crossed his mind, when he heard a small sound from the window close to him.

Terrence turned his head, only to see a songbird perched on the window sill—this little guy has disappeared since the prison became chaotic, but he didn't expect it to follow Terrence and fly here.

Seeing that Terrence had noticed him, the songbird jumped up and down a couple of times, flapping its wings to fly in, but it hit the glass with its head, making a "dong" sound.

Terrence quickly made a hush expression, calming down the songbird.

Songbird made a motion of lying down outside the window, indicating that he would not want to do what he did just now, and then paced up and down on the window sill, apparently trying to find a gap to get in.

At this time, the closed door was opened from the outside, Terrence didn't have time to turn his head to see who came in, but kept winking at the little guy, the songbird tilted its head, and flapped its wings from the window leave.
