The moonlight fell through the gaps between the branches and leaves and fell into the forest where the mist was dissipated, sprinkling a silver spot. "Ω   Occasionally, one or two leaves that were shaken down not long ago slowly fell, and a faint sound fell on the ground.

However, two figures, one big and one small, did not relax their vigilance because of the calmness in the forest.

"If you don't come out, don't blame me for being rude!" Liya's voice was full of coldness.

Just as Gerfen advanced, the moment she was accidentally blown away, a very obscure fluctuation suddenly broke out from the point where her sword tip pointed.

Although the wave was hidden very well and flashed, it was still as clearly visible in this empty forest as the fog fireflies in the night. Although the distance between the dragon's perception became blurry, Liya could still sense that it was the fluctuation of Dou Qi, not the breath of some wild beast or monster.

After landing, in the eye contact with Gelfin, Liya was even more sure that she felt right. The tacit master and servant reached a consensus instantly, which led to the current scene.

The empty forest was still silent, and the threat of the silver loli seemed to sink to the sea, without causing any ripples.

"Ha, it seems that you are determined to be a mouse with a hidden head and tail exposed." Liya sneered.

Then she closed her eyes, and the next moment, the cold momentum that was as if a storm was coming gradually rose, and the white long sword was raised at the same time!

"Swish~!"

A black shadow suddenly appeared in the clearings in the empty forest a second ago!

The arrival of the black shadow silently appeared out of thin air like a ghost!

At the moment when the black shadow appeared, Gerfen subconsciously held the axe in her hand tightly, but soon she relaxed again, even put away her weapon, and gently patted the shoulder of the small figure in front of her.

The sharp momentum suddenly subsided. The silver little loli opened her eyes again and looked at the figure standing quietly not far ahead - a dark robe wrapped around her body, a wide hood covered her eyes, and a hideous mask was worn on the exposed lower half of her face.

Just as Liya was about to ask questions, the mysterious figure in front of her suddenly bowed with a "bang": "Miss!"

The voice under the mask was hoarse and low, like the black wind blowing from hell, which made people shudder. However, Liya didn't care about these details at all. The three words "Miss" directly made her whole body petrified: "Ha?"

"No. 12, please protect the eldest lady at the order of the Duke!" the man in black explained, but his hoarse voice had a hint of bitterness, as if he was worried about his rash exposure.

"Wait!" Liya felt that her mind was a little twitching. She thought about it carefully before she asked, "What is No. 12?"

"Dark Blade No. 12." The man in black said concisely.

The little silver loli looked puzzled: "Dark Blade?"

"Secret Force of Frost Leaf Castle." No. 12 had no intention of hiding the young lady of Frost Leaf Castle.

"You were sent by my father to protect me?"

"yes!"

"Fifth level?"

"yes!"

Unexpectedly, after hearing the other party's affirmative reply, Liya's tone suddenly became cold: "Where were you when Gerfen was seriously injured by the queen of the Spotted Spider?!"

No. 12 seemed to have not noticed that Liya's tone was bad, and she still replied calmly: "Protect the eldest lady."

"So you're going to let Gerfin go to the fifth-level monster? If it weren't for Luna, I'm afraid she'd already..." Liya's voice trembled a little.

If she hadn't had no choice at that time, she would never have let Gerfen fight for the fifth-level spotted spider. If she had known that she had a fifth-level protector around her at that time, how could Gerfen be seriously injured and died? Even if there was no Elf, the son of Heavenly Fate, Gerfen would have been more likely to leave her forever!

"The order received by my subordinates is to protect the eldest lady." No. 12's tone did not change at all.

"Cold-blooded!"

Liya didn't want to continue asking any more. She was afraid that she would not be able to help but make some terrible actions. Silver little loli dropped this sentence and turned her head and left, never looking at No. 12, who was standing in the open space again.

Gerfen returned to his calm face and could not see any expression. She seemed to have known that No. 12 would give such an answer, but she silently picked up the sleeping elf leaning against the tree roots and followed Leather slowly away.

After a long time, the white fog regained their territory. The disappeared fog fireflies appeared again at some point and began their unique dance tirelessly. Among the empty woodland, there were only fresh green leaves all over the ground, which seemed to be telling everything that had been born.

...

Two days later.

A long caravan shuttled through the forest avenue covered with fallen leaves, and the crisp sound of horse rings mixed with human conversation and laughter spread from afar.

The dense forest gradually began to sparse, and the thick white mist became thinner with the horse's hooves moving forward, as if the huge rocks that had been pressing on the heart were gradually removed, and the haze in people's hearts also slowly dissipated like this white mist.

The exit of the White Mist Forest was getting closer and closer, and the caravan even encountered a Wang** patrol team from Iselburg on the way. After the merchants were moved and lured them with emotion, the patrol team served as the temporary guard of the caravan and advanced all the way toward their destination.

In the caravan, Lia looked at the elf and Xiaobai playing around her boredly, while Gerfin asked for a knight novel from somewhere to read with relish.

With the escort of the regular army team, the mercenaries' mission has been basically completed. The most dangerous part of the White Mist Forest has been left behind by them. As for the infatuated thieves and bandits, it is impossible for them to have the courage to attack the Kingdom's regular army.

Just as Silver's little loli was drowsy, a loud cheer suddenly broke out in front of the convoy. The bored Lia simply climbed onto the roof of the car and looked around curiously.

Trees of all sizes were gradually crossed by caravans, and the green grasslands and hills were full of vitality under the golden sunshine in the afternoon. People who had just walked out of the fog couldn't stop feeling relaxed and happy.

"Haha! Miss Einzberen! We have passed through this damn forest!" A majestic voice sounded at Leah's feet, and Sanderk rode a tall yellow-haired horse with a relieved smile on his face.

"Uncle Sandelke!" A smile appeared on his delicate little face, which was like a work of art.

After spending nearly a month together, Riya became familiar with the deputy commander of the Leaping Horse Mercenary Group. Although there were a small amount of friction and unpleasantness, the friendship produced by fighting side by side was indelible.

"This escort mission is really..." But thinking of those companions who will always sleep, Sandelke couldn't help but lower his head and his face turned dim.

"No one would have thought that we would encounter things that ordinary people would never dare to think about~" Xiaoli Yin nodded in agreement, then changed her mind: "But I think those companions would not want to see you, uncle, look sad. Don't forget that everyone is mercenary, there are mercenaries who are drunk today!"

"That's right! I didn't expect that I could see clearly as much as a little girl!" Sandelke showed a look of relief on his face: "But then again, Miss Einzberen, don't dislike me as a rough man. What does this mean 'Wine is there today and you're drunk now'?"
