Suddenly, Milo, who had just recovered a little strength, seemed to hear a faint sound echoing in his ears in the woods.
"Who! Who's there?!"
Milo subconsciously shouted in the direction where the sound came from, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Milo covered his mouth instantly.
Damn! I forgot what my father taught me!
In the jungle, before discovering the target, you must never reveal your whereabouts before the target.
Forcing himself to be strong, Milo gripped the notched longsword tightly.
At this moment, he regained his consciousness and did not choose to escape, because with only a little strength left, he could not run far. Rather than being caught up by his opponent without any resistance, it would be better to retain his strength to fight with him.
Holding his sword tightly, leaning against a big tree and observing his surroundings, the young noble Milo suddenly smiled bitterly.
When I really reached the critical moment of life and death, I didn't expect that the skills taught by my father were so useful. I just needed to follow the steps taught, as if my father, this senior warrior, was right beside me at this moment.
This time, if I can go back alive, I will definitely listen carefully to the combat experience my father teaches me.
"Da-da-"
A light sound of footsteps came from a distance and was instantly caught by Milo who was concentrating.
"over there!"
The long sword made a sharp hissing sound, and the tip of the sword pointed to the direction where the sound came from. Milo's muscles were tense, and he had injected the last bit of his physical strength into it.
This sword will decide victory, defeat, life and death!
As Milo concentrated his attention to the extreme, a layer of mist seemed to rise around him, and the footsteps were approaching.
Suddenly, someone came out from the woods on one side.
After getting into position and gathering all his strength, Milo stabbed out instantly. However, the tip of the sword had only penetrated less than half an inch before it stopped abruptly.
"Mom, mom?"
"Why are you here?!!"
Milo looked at the figure in horror. She was his mother Yava.
At this moment, his mother was looking at him with tears in her eyes, calling his name.
"Milo."
"Why did you leave home suddenly without telling your mother?"
"Okay, Mom won't ask any more questions. Come here and let Mom take a look at you."
After hearing his mother's call, Milo immediately dropped the sword in his hand and ran towards his mother.
"That's right, Mom."
"It's so dangerous here, how did you get here? Did father and brother come with you?"
After reaching his mother, Milo suddenly asked, looking back for his father and brother.
"Mom, yes."
Flying!
As a thick beam of magic light passed by, the figure of Milo's mother in front of him was blasted away by magic.
"Mother-!"
Milo was heartbroken and cried out in grief as he looked at his "mother" who was torn into pieces.
"Okay, why are you yelling so loud?"
"Look carefully, that's not your mother."
Suddenly, a voice came from another side of the forest. Milo looked and saw that it was the direction where the magic beam came from.
"What do you mean? You attacked my mother and then insulted her! Don't I know for sure if she is my mother?!"
Milo shouted loudly at the magician who appeared, and squeezed out a bit of strength from his already exhausted body. He picked up the sword and was about to chop Gut who appeared.
"Well"
"Should I say you are filial or unfilial?"
"You're willing to fight with me for my mother, but you won't even look back at her?"
See your mother's body?
Unable to bear or dare to see the imagined scene, Milo closed his eyes and tried his best not to look in that direction.
But this magician kept mentioning this point.
After hesitating for a moment, Milo gritted his teeth and looked back.
However, there was no trace of his mother's body on the ground. Only pieces of monster corpses that had been blown into pieces were gradually dissipating into the air.
"This is this!!!"
"Phantom Ghost." Gut said calmly behind him, "Mr. Milo, right? As a noble, you should have learned about this kind of monster, right?"
"Yes, it is."
"I knew there were monsters like this, but I didn't expect to encounter them in the northern kingdoms."
"Shouldn't this kind of monster only be found near the [Weile Region] in the central countries?"
"Hehe, the migration of monsters has nothing to do with you." Gut shrugged and replied.
The noble young man Milo was still a little frightened. After recalling his dangerous situation just now, he was immediately frightened and his heart was pounding.
After adjusting himself a few times with heavy breathing, Milo placed his hands on his chest and bowed deeply to Gut.
"Dear wizard, thank you for saving my life."
【Ding! 】
[Daily Task: Do one good deed a day has been completed]
After hearing the system prompt, Gut's eyes flashed, and he felt a bit favorable towards the young man who was sincerely thanking him.
But that's true. After all, it was a life-saving favor. If you don't feel genuine gratitude for this, you might as well save a dog.
"Do you still have the strength to walk?"
Gut looked at Milo and asked, after all, he was in this state, and as a fellow human being, he couldn't just leave him here.
"Well"
"Although I really want to go with you all right now, I really don't have the energy anymore."
"I want to rest here for a while. Could you please wait for me and go out together after I have recovered some strength?"
"I swear on my family's honor that I will reward you handsomely when I get out. My family is..."
Chapter 44: Map and Milo's Obsession
"One of the three great knight families in the North, the Olden family of the [Fortress City of Frisch], right?"
Gut interrupted Milo's narration and said bluntly.
"Eh?"
The noble young man Milo was a little surprised. "How did you two know this? Oh! By the way, this gentleman seemed to have called out my name just now. Could it be that you have seen me before?"
"No, this is the first time we meet."
Gut did not act as a riddle teller. While Milo was resting, he told him about the missing person reward he and his group saw in the fortress city of Frisch.
"With a bounty of 40 Hetlar gold coins, I'm sure anyone who's been to Frisch recently will be obsessed with your face and name."
"Mother."
Tears welled up in Miro's eyes again. Knowing his father's character, he knew that his father would never post a notice for his family affairs.
The emergence of this reward must be something that only a mother would fight for for herself. Such a huge reward is also full of the mother's concern for herself.
Gut patted Milo's shoulder and said.
"Okay, stop crying."
"We're currently at the tail end of the [Alt Forest]. With a little effort, we can exit the forest today and reach the nearest city, [Apertido]."
"After arriving in the city, you can hire adventurers to escort you home and reunite with your mother."
Unexpectedly, after listening to Gut's description, Milo, with a tired look on his face, shook his head and rejected the suggestion.
"No, I can't go to my mother yet."
"why?"
Gut asked curiously, this young man is also strange, why doesn't he go back to his safe home to reunite with his mother, but has to continue his dangerous adventure?
"Because if I go home now, I will have made my mother worry for so long in vain."
“When I get to the city [Apertido], I’ll ask someone to write a letter to my mother, telling her I’m safe and there’s nothing to worry about.”
"My son is going out this time to find an opportunity to become stronger. Once he becomes stronger, he will return to the family."
Milo said, suddenly realizing this.
He quickly took out a cylinder from his chest, unfolded the secret map contained in it, and showed it to Gut and the others.
"Gentlemen, this is a map I stumbled upon. It's been identified as an authentic piece from the Unified Empire period, and there's evidence that the information contained within is relatively authentic and reliable."
"Oh?"
Gut looked at this genuine antique with curiosity, and his own talent entry [Innate Tomb Raider Holy Body] was also faintly touched at this moment.
It seems that just as Milo said, this secret map is probably real.
Moreover, the fact that this filial son was willing to give up his plan to reunite with his mother as soon as possible meant that there must be something big in this secret place.
Sure enough, Milo's next words confirmed Gut's guess.
"According to the records on this map, combined with my research, this secret relic contains a spring that can greatly increase one's strength."
"A spring that greatly increases one's strength?"
Seliya on the side suddenly became interested. Is it possible to create such a thing in the current world?
