The King of Elden does not die alone!

Then, with a clang, the sound of metal clashing, and in a moment, Wilden's sword was pressed against Mia's forehead.

Eh?

The sword blade pressed tightly against the fair skin, leaving a shallow scar on the girl's forehead, and a drop of bright red blood flowed from between her eyebrows.

Itchy.

"Sorry." Seeing Mia was injured, Wilden immediately retracted his sword.

He seldom sparred with others.

When he used the sword, it was basically on the battlefield, and his sword skills were also improved on the battlefield. He perfected his sword moves simply for the purpose of killing the enemy more efficiently.

When sparring with Mia, he didn't hold back his strength for a moment.

Mia blinked.

what happened?

I just blocked the first attack, and then what?

How did he die?

Wilden seemed to see Mia's confusion.

"You're...well, too hesitant," Wilden said.

"hesitate?"

Mia frowned.

She felt a pain in the wound on her forehead that made her feel refreshed.

She probably understood what Wilden was saying.

She was overthinking, staring at Wilden's sword, trying to analyze all his moves.

In the end, he didn't give himself time to react.

"I see.."

Mia wiped the blood dripping from her forehead with her index finger and took a sip of it.

Very little blood came out, and all I could taste was the salty taste of my hand sweat...

"Come again!"

Raising the sword again, Mia nodded to Wilden.

If there is no actual sparring and only thinking, then the shortcomings you discover will not be overcome.

Seeing that Mia didn't back down, Wilden regained his position.

When they were about to fight again.

"Wait a minute!" Mia suddenly shouted.

Then she looked at him privately: "Wait a minute!" she repeated.

Then she hid behind a bush that would shelter her.

Not long after.

Then she ran out wearing the tattered prophet's robe.

Wilden's sword was sharpened, so he couldn't damage the noble's comfortable traveling suit.

After positioning herself in front of Wilden again, Mia raised her sword again.

"Okay, don't show mercy!"

The girl shouted excitedly.

Chapter 24. The Beast of the Woods

Update~

-

"Woo..."

Mia felt unwell all over.

She rode on Amiya, Kale held Amiya's hand, and Wilden led the way in front.

Three people were walking in the forest.

I was too excited last night.

The duel with Wilden lasted until midnight, and her fighting spirit grew stronger as the fight went on. In the end, she had to stop because her injuries had made her dizzy.

It was almost too late for emergency recovery.

If I die and then resurrect in that deserted village, half a day's journey will be in vain.

And she didn't know whether she could find Wilden and Callie again.

However, perhaps because of the blood and sweat he had shed, he slept very soundly.

But this was not the reason why Mia felt uncomfortable so early in the morning.

Because the stream near the campsite had too little water.

To the extent that Mia still feels that there are still dried blood stains on some parts of her body that were not washed off last night.

I feel awkward all over.

Maybe it's psychological.

Because before Mia set off, she rolled in the water again, avoiding the sight of the two men.

In theory, it should be washed very clean.

"Oh." Mia sighed.

It’s better not to be so excited in the future.

However, fighting with Wilden until midnight last night was not without other benefits.

Mia feels that her swordsmanship has become stronger!

Wilden nodded in acknowledgement.

After just a few hours of sparring, I have made such great progress.

If this wasn't Wilden comforting her...

This proves that Mia has discovered another change in herself after traveling through time.

If I could learn things so quickly in my previous life, I would have been admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University long ago!

It is naturally something to be happy about that I have become so much stronger.

It can almost offset the inexplicable discomfort in my body.

But if I have the chance, I still want to take a good bath.

Three people and a donkey were walking on a dirt road covered with fallen leaves.

There was a rustling sound of dry leaves being trampled on.

'Fallen leaves brought news that the Ring of Elden was broken at the border of our homeland.'

No, these words came to the girl's mind.

Mia had noticed long ago that the border area seemed to be in autumn. The trees and vegetation on the ground were not all green like the sea, but were dotted with orange and yellow.

The roads in the forest were carpeted with fallen leaves, and the light of the golden trees cast mottled shadows between the slightly bald treetops.

But because of the perspective, Mia couldn't see the holes in the treetops in the distance. She could only see the dense treetops above her head forming a sea of ​​different colors.

Although the forest did not become brighter because of the penetrating light, every time a ray of light from above appeared on the face, it would make people feel a little surprised.

The girl took a deep breath and smelled the fresh forest air filled with leaves and soil.

A breeze that was invisible and could not be felt by the people on the ground blew through the treetops, rubbing the branches together and scattering another handful of fallen leaves.

She heard birds singing and crickets chirping.

Mia saw a deer hiding in the woods, observing the people walking on the road with its black eyes.

It seems that all the misery in the world does not belong to this unchanging nature.

Neither the breaking of the Ring nor the war among the people of the Golden Tree has anything to do with this forest. It calls nothing its king, nor does it care about anyone's rule.

At the beginning, everyone enjoyed the scenery of the forest, which made people feel the joy of emptying their minds.

But I don’t know when this joy disappeared.

Instead, there was a strange silence.

Wilden suddenly slowed down.

"what happened?"

Mia asked subconsciously.

"Something," Wilden replied.

Mia sniffed and smelled a burnt smell in the air of unknown origin.

Something is burnt.

Is it this forest? The forest is burning? A forest fire?

Or something else?

Whatever it is, it's worth being vigilant.

"Be careful." Mia warned.

Amiya also stopped and snorted anxiously.

It was obvious that the donkey smelled something more, and it pulled at the reins impatiently.

"What's wrong..."

Only Santa Claus, wearing a mask, was the most insensitive.

Then he smelled it, too.

"Something's burnt," Mia replied.

Galie pulled down his mask and sniffed, then he looked up at the surrounding treetops.

After a moment, he came to a conclusion: "Not a tree," he replied.

"you sure?"

"If the leaves were burned in this season, the smell wouldn't be so strong."

Moreover, there were no signs of fire in the treetops, nor was there any thick white smoke in front of them.

It must be something else that was burning.

I was walking forward calmly just now, and suddenly I felt a burnt smell.

So it couldn't have come from the rear.

Kale walked around Mia for a few steps and said, "In front."

"I gonna go see."

"go together."

Mia jumped off the donkey and put her hand on the hilt of the sword.

If there was a battle that had to be fought, she didn't want to miss it.

"Cary, wait for us here."

"it is good."

The businessman was aware of his own strength, and after Mia asked him to wait where she was, he did not try to be stubborn and say he wanted to go with her.

Mia and Wilden walked along the road cautiously.
