Shaman from Afar

Vol 2 Chapter 4: Unsafe road (4)

Lorren said whether it was true or not, Sir Aaron no longer doubted too much. In addition to the little trust that has just been established, it is more difficult to put the count in such a dangerous place.

Whether or not there are more than a dozen ogre in the forest, they can't continue to stay--from here to the Deep Forest Castle, there is only one day left.

It was going to be late, and the regrouped knights mounted on the war horses, holding the torches to protect the young earl in the center, and headed towards the direction of the deep forest.

Because it was the night, all the knights did not say a word, carefully guarding the surroundings. Collapsed roads, swarms of wild animals are likely to kill everyone.

Lou Wen riding a warhorse also lowered his head and remained silent. Only the frowning frown and the blackened Yintang made people see how angry the count was now.

Lorren, who was beside him, showed a thoughtful expression. He vaguely remembered that the ogres lived in a forest closer to the west, and there should be no settlement of these monsters in the territory of the Duke of Lothal.

So how did these ogres get here?

Insisted that there should be only two possibilities—perhaps just a handful of ogres, who crossed the mountains and forests to the west and entered the territory of the Duke, so they were not found.

And the other is that something happened to the Count of Deep Forest Castle on the border, so that these ogres can freely cross the direction of the border and enter the hinterland of the Duke.

No matter what the reason is, the Sena family, who is responsible for the arch of the Duke's border, is blamed. If only a few farms or hunters are killed, it may not be a big deal; but this time it almost happened that it was the heir of the Frid family!

Just when not far away, everyone heard the continuous, deafening roar from behind. Against the silent night, the roaring sound became very clear.

The cautious knights were immediately nervous, and even a few people couldn't help but want to see clearly, but they didn't have the courage to look back. They felt like they froze on the saddle.

"All cheer me up, keep going!"

Sir Aaron's roar directly overshadowed the sound from a distance: "Look at your eyes, don't look back, those monsters can't keep up with us!"

In just a few words, some of the panicked knights have just recovered their senses, holding the torch in their hands and leaving the roar of the ogre behind their heads.

At dawn, when the sky was not clear, a group of people arrived at a tower on the border of Shenlinbao.

Stationed here is a branch of the Sena family, and opened the door quickly after seeing who the people were. The owner of the tower is also the owner of the nearby manor. An old gentleman who claimed to be a baron hurriedly gave up his room to Lu Wen, and was very enthusiastic in preparing hot food and drinks for everyone.

The knights who had been driving all night in a row were indeed exhausted. After deliberation, they decided to wait until noon. Sitting around in the living room of the tower, enjoying the rare hot soup and bread, calming myself with the fragrant ale.

The young earl had no appetite. He ate a few pieces of bread and returned to the room. When he left, he also called Loren. The thoughtful dark-haired wizard did not hesitate to leave after leaving the baron master.

In the narrow small bedroom, there was only a dim candle. Lu Wen under the candlelight looked a bit decadent, and with a hurry all night, his spirit seemed to be a bit weak.

"Master Earl?"

Looked up to see Loren who came in, and Lu Wen moved to a chair and sighed: "There are not so many rules, sit down and have a drink with me."

The black-haired wizard who sat down took the glass from his hand and lifted his head to drink. That rude appearance made the young earl barely chuckled and drank the glass of wine in one go.

"You look a little bit uncomfortable, is it because you are too tired?" While pouring wine for the other party, Loren asked casually, "Still ... what's the matter?"

"Do I look that bad?" Lu Wenleng gave a bit of laughter, and then he smiled bitterly: "It's probably because I'm too tired, I can't breathe a little."

"Oh yes, I haven't thanked you yet. If you didn't hold me in time, I would become a meat sauce with that horse!"

"I'm your wizard advisor, protecting you is my duty and responsibility." Loren's face showed a formal smile: "This kind of thing needs no thanks, Lord Earl."

"Don't call it so much, there's no one else here, just call me Ruben-that's what Aaron calls it in private." The Earl Young Master waved his hand carelessly, and finally looked a little more in his eyes: "You and him The game played was really wonderful, and anyone who can tie it with him can count it with one hand in the whole Duke! "

"Actually, I was almost out of work at the time." Loren shrugged his shoulders with a chuckle: "Sir Aaron is indeed very powerful, I am too arrogant, Earl ... Lu Wen."

After seeing the other person's eyes, Loren immediately changed his mouth, and the Earl's face showed a satisfied smile.

"Actually, when I inherited the title of Earl, I knew what my father was going to do-he wanted to borrow my hand to **** Shen Linbao from the Sena family. The Frid family has been for generations. What I want to do. "

After drinking a few glasses of Lu Wen, he finally started to release his alert and chatted with Loren. The smiling dark-haired wizard inadvertently put down his wine glass and poured a full glass for the other party.

"I don't have anything to object to, but I just obey my father's orders. To be honest, I don't even think it's bad for the Sena family to continue to manage here. Just go with them, even if there is any rebellion, not all Was it defeated? "

"It may sound quite uncultivated, but I just intend to mix for a few years." Lu Wen took another drink and sighed deeply: "When the time comes, let my father give this to one of my cousins, Or be snatched back by the people of the Sena family, it ’s none of my business anyway. "

Looking at the decadent appearance of the other party, Loren hesitated for a moment and then slowly opened his mouth:

"In fact, I think you are only a little hit for the time being, you must hope to be a competent Earl in your heart."

Lorren, who blinked, looked at his expression: "People like you can definitely make a career."

"how do you know?"

"I don't know ~ www.readwn.com ~ But I believe that the Duke's judgment-because of his permission, only with today's Wimpar College, I can be qualified to sit in front of you."

"Master Duke is the ruler of the entire Principality. If he wants to, he has a thousand reasons to take back the Deep Forest Castle. But why did you choose you?" Smiling Loren followed the temptation and looked at the count's thoughtful expression. , Quietly raised the corner of his mouth.

There was a slight vibration on the floor, and Loren speculated that someone outside the door must be eavesdropping, and it might be Sir Aaron.

But I am afraid that he will be disappointed-at least for now, Loren still hopes that the Earl young master can do something. After all, his identity and status are closely related to him. If he has an accident, he seems to have no other way than to go back to being a wandering knight.

For the current Loren, winning the trust of Lu Wen is the most advantageous option.

"Because he believes you can do all this, you are his heir, and his trust in you must be beyond imagination!" The black-haired wizard smiled sincerely: "What reason do you have to try?"

Slowly lowered the glass, and Lu Wen nodded toward Loren: "You are right, since my father gave me this opportunity, he should cherish it no matter what the final result is!"

"Speaking of this." Although a little drunk, Lu Wen has not reached the point where he loses his mind: "Do you think the ogres are from the Sena family ..."

"I do n’t think it ’s possible. Ogres are not monsters with brains, and they have a high risk of sneak attacks and failures." Loren understood what the other party wanted to ask and shook his head cautiously. With a playful smile:

"But ... this is indeed a good excuse."
