There is a lord who just wants to draw cards, what's wrong with that?

Through his observation, he came to the conclusion that a timid shield bearer like this is of no use. Mei cannot be his front row. Compared with himself and Mei, the warrior Brandon will definitely give priority to protecting Miguo who is close to him.

Once there is danger, there will be nothing ahead of him and he will have to rely on himself in the end.

"What a sin... I wonder how many of these three will die."

They set out at nine in the morning and did not stop along the way. At five in the afternoon they set up camp, rested for a while and then set off again. After that they soon saw the outline of their destination.

A magical place that claims to never enter darkness - the Twilight Forest.

The spring evening comes especially quickly. It is almost dark now. The moonlight pours down, and the entire Twilight Forest is immediately shrouded in a light between dusk and moonlight.

Domi was at a loss for words at this point, he had never seen such a wonderful scenery before, nor could he use any color to describe it, it was like the real twilight, like a dream.

Even if it is dark, as long as you enter this forest, the visibility can't be said to be comparable to that in the daytime, but at least you won't be completely dark, and things in the medium distance can still be seen clearly.

"Brandon, look! These leaves are glowing!"

Miguo is like a kindergarten kid on an outing, and seems to be interested in everything.

Therefore, Brandon knew that the time for him to establish his image had finally arrived, and he explained seriously:

"The reason why the Twilight Forest glows so brightly at night is because of some special plants growing in the forest, like this yellow-green bush."

"Their leaves can only absorb light at dusk, but they are very sensitive to moonlight. Once exposed to moonlight, they will produce a stress response and release the stored dusk."

"This allows dusk and moonlight to blend together to create this unique spectacle."

This guy definitely did his homework in advance! He came prepared~

Duomi was very disdainful. He thought that real knowledge should have been accumulated long ago, rather than relying on such last-minute cramming, but Miguo just fell for it.

She secretly thought that he was worthy of being the man she liked, as if he knew everything!

"Wow! Brandon you are amazing! Who told you this?"

“Hehe~” He smiled mysteriously: “Don’t look at me as a rough warrior. In fact, I go back to the Magic Tower Library to study for half a day every weekend to supplement my knowledge of the magic world!”

Then, he started talking to Miguo in a very lively manner. You know what, this guy seems to be really good at what he does.

"Did Brandon already know all this? Wasn't he just cramming for the exam?" Domi's thoughts couldn't help but waver.

If that's the case, I'd buy it...

What's wrong with the people in this world? Why are they so competitive? Even a soldier with single-cell thinking has to hang out in the library to get a girl?

Awesome.

Domi was speechless.

Soon, they officially entered the outer ring area of ​​the Twilight Forest. According to the intelligence, the emerging group of thieves was active in the outer ring.

Brandon found Domi in the back:

"Brother Death Omen, the task of exploring the way ahead is now left to you!"

Domi thought about it and realized that this was indeed what an archer, or a ranger, should do.

"Okay, then you wait here."

"Be safe, we are waiting for your good news!"

Chapter 58: Strange Things in the Forest

Chapter 58-57- Strange Things in the Forest

In the dreamlike forest, a figure was moving silently.

Domi concentrated his energy on the soles of his feet and combined it with the Shadow Flow technique to completely control the power of his feet, so that no sound was made.

The only noise that might have been made was probably the slightly swaying branches.

But if someone sees the branches shaking but doesn't see anyone and hears the sound, then the atmosphere of fear will be created.

I have taken tons of night vision potion and now it is as bright as day in front of me!

He looked straight ahead, continued moving forward at a steady pace, and paid attention to everything around him.

Altaïr had taught him that when acting as a vanguard, he must keep his eyes and ears open and not miss any details or anomalies. This is a compulsory course for scouts and also an area that assassins need to be involved in.

Domi also did this job very diligently.

After exploring forward for a distance, he suddenly stopped and hid himself with branches and leaves.

Just because there was a bright light of fire ahead.

It's the middle of the night and you're still in the Twilight Forest. It could be a passing merchant, an unlucky fool who got lost, or that new gang of thieves!

He quietly poked half of his head out to check the situation:

It was a fairly large semi-permanent camp that had probably been there for a while, with clothes hanging on poles.

Most of the tents were dark, with only two or three still having lights on.

Next to the largest campfire, there were five people wearing different clothes, holding daggers and swords in their arms. It was obvious that they were not regular soldiers or mercenaries, but they had good eyesight, staring at the fire fiercely, as if they were about to draw their swords at the next second.

Not only around the campfire, but also around the camp, there were about a dozen people scattered around, keeping watch with a patrol track that was twice larger than the camp.

Very good, this way, the first two possible options are eliminated at once.

This is definitely the camp of that gang of thieves!

But there were two points that puzzled Domi.

First, patrolling over such a large area is completely unnecessary.

Second, why is there no sign of sleepiness in their eyes, but rather a mental state of being ready to go?

That is a professional quality that only elite troops have. Why would a group of thieves have that?

By training?

They are all thieves now, and it is hard to change their nature. No matter how tough the training is, it can only change their appearance but cannot conceal their inner desires.

The only possibility...

Thinking of this, Domi shuddered all over, and a terrifying idea emerged in his mind.

"There's something fishy! Let's go back first!"

Before knowing their strength clearly, Domi didn't dare to stay any longer and turned around to retreat.

Because the evacuation route was slightly off by a few degrees from the way they came, he hadn't run far when he spotted the flames of the burning campfire again, just to his side.

When we got closer, we found that although the camp was temporary, the spirit of that group of people was exactly carved from the same template!

None of them had any thoughts of sleeping, and they all had weapons in their hands. It seemed that as long as someone gave the order, they would all take action!

That terrifying thought seems to be gradually becoming a reality.

He no longer slowed down his pace to cover up his voice, and even quickened his pace, moving through the dense woods like a flying needle, his eyes full of suspicion.

"Who is it...?"

Let's go back twenty minutes.

Brandon, Miguo and Mei were waiting there. Ten minutes had passed since Domi set out. It's not that he was slow, but he just felt bored doing it.

Although the Twilight Forest is beautiful, you will get tired of it if you see it too much. What's more, it looks better when viewed from a distance.

"Since we're free anyway, why not take Mei to get familiar with the profession of shield bearer? There are quite a lot of small wild animals and monsters nearby, which will serve as perfect objects for training," Brandon suggested.

It’s better to have something to do than nothing! Miguo was the first to agree:

"Go ahead! We don't know how long we have to wait for the dwarf uncle to come back."

"Mei, what do you say?"

Seeing their eager anticipation, and since she wasn't good at saying no, she had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Let's go, let's go a little further inside. There are no monsters on the outer layer."

The three of them set out again, this time with Mei, the shield bearer, leading the way.

She was seen holding a large round shield in front of her, constantly keeping an eye on her surroundings, as if something would jump out of the bushes in the next second.

Just at this moment, a wild boar jumped out, took a liking to Mei at first sight, and rushed towards her with a grunt!

Mei had never seen such a ferocious beast before, and was so scared that he curled up in his shield.

Obviously, if they block in this way, the wild boar will be able to knock out Mei's famous swords Sima Ming and Guardian Angel with one collision.

"Don't be afraid, May!" Brandon shouted.

"Be brave, face it bravely! Focus on resisting, we will protect you at the critical moment!"

"That's right," Miguo also shouted, "Even if you are injured, I can heal you immediately, don't panic."

Encouraged by her teammates and Mei's suggestion, she regained her spirits, raised her round shield, and looked at the big brown boar charging towards her.

"It's okay, it's okay... If I can't win, Captain Brandon will save me. If I get hurt, Miss Honey Fruit will heal me. There's nothing to be afraid of!"

"Come on, big boar!"

"Hang Chih Chih..."

The man and the pig collided like two trains, and Miguo and Brandon's attention was all focused on this.

"Bang!!"

There was a loud bang.

The powerful impact seemed to be able to knock Mei away with the shield, but the magical thing was that Mei only moved a little bit under the impact, and withstood the attack completely without suffering any injury.

Instead, the wild boar hit the steel shield and fainted, foaming at the mouth, looking unconscious.

"I...succeeded?"

She looked at the pig on the ground, then looked at her shield, incredible!

The first thing Mei wanted to do after his success was to share his happiness with his teammates.

"Captain Brandon, Miguo, did you see that?"

But after waiting for a while without getting a reply, Mei turned her head and saw a scene even more thrilling than the wild boar's own fainting.

"Honey fruit?! What's wrong with you?"

I saw Miguo lying on the ground, unconscious, and Captain Brandon was nowhere to be seen.

She immediately ran to Miguo, checked on her, and found that she had just fainted and was not in danger of life, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, a familiar handkerchief carrying an unpleasant smell suddenly covered her mouth and nose.

After struggling for a while, he fainted like Miguo.

puff-

The two girls lay together, and Brandon stood beside them, looking at them with an evil smile on his face. There was no trace of the previous sunshine and integrity between his brows.

"You are so eager to become adventurers without even understanding this world. I will teach you two a lesson about the evil of human nature~"

"Come out and take them away."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people came out from the bushes and carried up the honey fruits and plums.

"Golden Retriever is the eldest daughter of the noble family. She is the one that the boss wants."

"What about the black-haired one?"

Brandon thought for a moment and said:

"This little girl is an orphan of the Light Shield family. She has the protection of her ancestors in her blood. When you kill her, remember to drain her blood first, and then find a few more people to consume the heroic spirits she summoned. Oh, and pay attention, her blood must be collected. It can be sold for a good price on the black market."

Someone has built a check-in building in the book club. The first floor costs 1000 coins, and there is no upper limit. Everyone go and laugh at him.

Chapter 59: Brandon

Chapter 59-58- The infatuated man Brandon

The timeline goes back to twenty minutes later.

Domi rode as fast as he could and returned to the place he had agreed to meet with Brandon and the others.

When I jumped down from the tree, there was nothing underneath, no one was there, and no signs of a fight.
