Luo An was taken aback, not expecting to hear the "Black God" mentioned again.

That wasn't something Father Grog of Cosette Village made up on the spot to deceive the villagers' faith.

"What else did he say? Tell me quickly."

The guard shook his head; someone of his rank couldn't possibly know any more information.

"Boss, don't worry about it. Cult members are all mentally unstable. Who cares about black or white gods? A beating will bring them to their senses." The guard said nonchalantly. He then gave Luo An a knowing smile that only men would understand.

"Boss, you're on another mission with Sister Ya Yang? Sister Ya Yang's outfit, tsk tsk."

Give me five copper coins, or don't blame me for reporting the boss's movements to Leia.

"Get lost." Luo An made a kicking motion.

The guards quickly ran away, chuckling, which made Luo An feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Knowing that Leia had someone following him, Roan remained on guard.

At that moment, Luo An suddenly realized that with his and Leia's fame, Leia didn't need to follow him at all. She could just ask anyone on the street and they would know where Luo An was.

Roan sighed. He wanted the name Roan Yunina to resound throughout the Aisen Territory, but he didn't expect that he would have a headache just because his name was too famous in this small town of Lorton.

Luo An cursed under his breath, too lazy to pay attention to the guards, and quickly followed Jackie.

"Sorry for chatting with an old friend for a while."

"No delay, Your Excellency Yunina." Jackie glanced enviously at Roan, who was able to joke with the guards.

No wonder he's a nobleman; he can get so close to the guards.

It must be very convenient to do anything there.

Once outside the checkpoint and out of Lorton Town once again, there was a vast expanse of half-naked wheat fields.

This winter has been exceptionally long, and the farmers, unable to wait to clear the snow and ice, have erected sculptures bearing the image of Tsering in the middle of their wheat fields, praying for a bountiful harvest.

Crossing the main road and stepping into the wilderness once again, the three of them traveled quickly since they didn't need to bring a carriage. They soon arrived at the camp where Roan had first led the team to set up camp, where traces of a campfire still remained on the ground.

"Let's set up camp here today," Roan suggested.

Jackie nodded and unloaded his burden.

"Your Excellency Yunina, let me set up camp. I don't trust anyone else to do it."

Jackie was very attentive.

"Oh, and let me cook dinner too, so you can try my cooking."

Since Jackie had brought it up, Roan and Ya Yang didn't say anything more.

While Jackie was setting up camp, Roan and Ya Yang walked into the nearby forest.

It doesn't need to be too far. They can keep an eye on the camp at any time. Yayan and Luoan simultaneously chanted a miracle: [Restoration].

A soft golden light illuminated the two of them.

The gold color seemed more intense than when I was in the library.

Luo An quickened his chanting of the miracle, letting golden light bathe his body.

For the first time, I felt a warmth from the inside out, as comfortable as being gently held in someone's arms.

This is what it feels like to use a miracle.

The two chanted faster and faster, and the golden light grew brighter and brighter.

There is a play!

Luo An was overjoyed; the power of miracles was truly astonishing. To gain such miraculous power simply by performing certain actions and deeds.

As the golden light grew increasingly intense, finally forming a healing glow, it suddenly vanished.

The surroundings immediately plunged into darkness.

Ya Yang sighed softly.

"It failed."

"Don't worry, Roan, no, I mean Yunina."

"You've only been learning Miracle for less than two days, and you're already almost able to chant the [Restoration] spell. That's already amazing."

"At your stage, I hadn't even memorized the miracle."

Luo An wasn't in a hurry.

Originally, Luo An did not have any entries on how to learn miracles.

Failure is normal.

Progress is enough.

After waiting a while, until his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Luo An saw Ya Yang's expression—neither joy nor excitement.

At that moment, a golden light flashed before Luo An's eyes.

Ya Yang breathed a long sigh of relief.

The golden light flashed for a moment and then disappeared.

Luo An then spoke.

"Let's go, be careful not to fall."

Ya Yang did not respond.

As they made their way forward by the light of the campfire, Roan could smell the aroma of onions and cheese from afar.

"It smells so good, is it onion and cheese soup?"

Luo An licked his lips. Onions and cheese paired with bread so hard it could be used as a stick was a rare delicacy in the wild.

It tastes much better than what Jia Li makes.

Just smelling the food made Luo An feel hungry, so he quickened his pace toward the camp. After taking only a few steps, he felt his foot hit something, making a sound like wood hitting metal.

At some point, the camp was surrounded by a cordon made of wood chips and sheet metal.

Luo An squinted and examined them closely. These iron plates were completely blackened, so they didn't reflect moonlight or even the campfire.

The placement is also very skillful, with several places deliberately made visible so that when people become wary and carefully cross the warning line, they will encounter the warning line hidden in the shadows.

"It's really exquisite," Luo An exclaimed.

As expected of the wandering knight, Roan felt he had learned something new.

Hearing the noise, Jackie raised his hand to call to Roan.

"Lady Yunina, it's perfect timing, you're back! Try my cooking!"

Luo An nodded. He crossed the police line and took the wooden bowl and bread that Jackie handed him. He glanced at it.

A very common material, with a few herbs floating in and out.

As a semi-alchemist, Roan knew these herbs could be used to make potions, but he never imagined they could be so sweet as a seasoning.

It is not poisonous.

"You arranged all of this? When did you do it?"

Roan had been keeping an eye on the camp but hadn't noticed that Jackie was setting up a perimeter.

"Hehe. Just a little trick." Jackie ladled out a bowl of soup, took a small sip, and looked smug. "It's not very useful; it'll be good enough if it can keep wild boars away."

Before they could finish speaking, a scream rang out behind them.

"Oh dear!"

Ya Yang squatted on the ground, touching her calf; she had tripped over the police tape and fallen into the snow.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Your Excellency Ya Yang." Jackie quickly stepped forward and greeted her carefully.

"Miss Ya Yang, are you alright? Those traps over there are for wild boars, they're very conspicuous. I'm sorry I didn't tell you."

Ya Yang raised her head, tears welling up in her eyes from the pain, but she shook her head and got up on her own.

"fine."

"I'm so sorry, Miss Ya Yang." Jackie was very apologetic and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He was clearly embarrassed. Luo An gestured for Jackie to sit down first. "Don't worry, she's not a fragile vase. If she's really in too much pain, I'll cast a Healing spell to ease the pain."

Ya Yang glanced at Luo An.

"By the time you finish singing, I'll be all better!"

She walked over to Luo An, panting, and sat down, also serving herself a bowl of soup. She grabbed a loaf of bread and took a big bite.

Jackie sat down as well, still looking very apologetic.

Luo An was more interested in the topic they had just discussed.

If you can learn how to set up a cordon, you won't have to keep watch at night, which will be a great help when traveling.
