After nightfall, the cavalry found an open meadow and camped there.

The soldiers all brought their own simple tents, and Wei'er was arranged to sleep in the carriage.

Rod volunteered to keep watch for Wei'er, and Wei'er said that they could take turns, with Rod watching the first half of the night and she watching the second half.

Thanks to the presence of sister Ai'er, Wei'er fell into a light sleep. In the second half of the night when Wei'er was on guard, sister Ai'er became fully active.

——(It’s been a while since I’ve been active at night~ The night is my home turf, hehe!)

If Wei'er knew that her sister not only had a combat profession but was also a "murderer", she would definitely say that it was a perfect match.

The night on the grassland is very quiet, with only the incessant chirping of insects and the occasional call of animals in the distance.

Wei'er was sitting at the rear of the carriage and heard the soldiers on guard talking in low voices nearby.

"Yeah... this time... not long after... again... in Shadou Gorge..."

"I really don't know... Captain... why... always..."

"You don't understand...hunting demons...supplies...profits...I'm so jealous..."

"So... no wonder..."

The voice was unclear, but Wei'er roughly understood it. It seemed that Captain Reidel was making money under the guise of hunting monsters. No wonder he had failed in three consecutive monster hunts this year.

Wei'er now felt that maybe Rhodes's guess was right, and there were no monsters in Shadou Canyon anymore.

·

The night passed slowly. As she sat there, Wei gradually began to doze off. At this moment, Ai noticed some unusual movements around her.

——(Go to sleep if you are tired, and leave the rest to me.)

Without waking up Wei'er, Ai'er took over the body directly.

She first glanced at the night watch soldiers not far away and found that the two guys were actually asleep. She silently complained in her heart that the quality of the Gude Town cavalry was really worrying.

Then, Ai'er split the giant scissors she usually used into two, and holding these two special daggers, she quietly blended into the darkness, waiting for the attacker to show up himself from the perspective of a lurker.

When it comes to ambushes, Ai'er is a professional. She blends into the night and hides all her presence.

Half an hour later, two masked men emerged from the bushes, hunched over and walking quickly towards the carriage.

——(I see, you came here to steal something.)

Ai'er clearly saw that both of them were holding machetes in their hands, but she was not nervous. After just a little thought, she had a countermeasure.

While the two bandits were approaching the carriage, Ai'er sneaked from their blind spot to the other side of the carriage.

When one of the thieves boarded the carriage, Ai'er swept his knife from under the carriage and cut off the calf tendon of the other thief who was on guard on the spot. Then, he climbed onto the roof of the carriage using the thief's screams as cover. When the thief inside came out to confirm the situation, Ai'er held the giant scissors formed by the two daggers in his hands, and with a "click", he accurately cut off the thief's head from the gap between the cervical vertebrae.

One was dead, the other disabled. Ai'er nimbly jumped off the carriage and came to the bandit who couldn't stand up because of a broken tendon.

Without any mercy, Ai'er Jianjin stabbed the bandit with two swords, one to the neck and the other to the heart, ending his life.

——(Ahhh~ This feels good~)

——(I haven’t felt this way in a long time~!)

Ai'er could feel a warmth flowing into her body. It was said that this was the so-called "experience points", which could improve her career level.

However, now is not the time to feel these things. Elle noticed that there was a noise from the soldiers, so she immediately picked up the bandit's machete, stained it with blood, and stuffed it into the hands of Rhodes who was awakened by the fright.

"Listen carefully, Rhode. These two thieves came to steal something, but they got into a dispute and killed each other."

"When the soldiers ask what happened, just say you killed these two bandits. Got it?"

Looking at Wei'er who seemed different from usual, Rhodes was completely confused.

What bandits? What "kill"? Could it be death? Someone died?

However, after seeing Wei hiding in the carriage, Rhodes still plucked up the courage and gripped the machete tightly.

“Leave it to me, just rest assured…!”

Rhodes nodded stiffly at Wei'er and walked out of the car.

A few seconds later, Ai'er heard Rhodes' screams outside the car.

--(well……)

Ai'er sighed with disappointment. She really couldn't rely on Rhodes.

3.16 - Red and Black Elders

━━━━━━━━━━

[Prison Star Calendar]

October 187, 5

8:14 AM

〖Confession: 28 days left in the death countdown〗

━━━━━━━━━━

In the center of Gude Town stands a 30-meter-high spire called Gude Spire.

According to legend, the Gude Spire was originally used for reconnaissance. Later, after the war ended in the Kingdom of West, the town of Gude was built with the Gude Spire as its center.

At this moment, on the top floor of the Gude Spire, Viviana Scarlet and her attendant Albert were waiting for someone.

"My Lord, there's no need to worry. It's not your fault that we couldn't find pigeon blood this time."

"Um... um..."

Albert's comfort could not dispel Viviana's concerns. Viviana already had a psychological shadow on the two elders.

Viviana knew the tempers of the two elders. They would never let it go after being "tricked" by the divination rabbit spirit this time.

Even though Viviana knew that the two elders' anger was not directed at her, she was still afraid.

·

Dozens of days ago, the Feiqi family spent a huge amount of money to find the fortune-telling rabbit spirit, Navinaison. She is the most famous "God of Divination" in the world and is said to have never made a mistake.

The divination rabbit spirit, Navinaison, has two well-known "nevers":

1. Never make a mistake in divination;

Second, we will never disclose the privacy of our guests;

It was precisely because of her two "Nevers" that the Feiqi family asked her to divine the whereabouts of "Pigeon Blood Red Stone Feilia".

At that time, the divination result given by the divination rabbit spirit was:

On May 187, 5, "Pigeon Blood Red Stone·Filia" will appear in the town of Gude in the territory of Lord Green Lizard in the Kingdom of Wildforest.

The Feiqi family was convinced of this result. Not only did they send out Viviana, who could sense pigeon blood, but they also let the two strongest elders in the family act in secret.

However, today is already May 5rd, and Viviana and the others haven't even seen the shadow of pigeon blood.

If this matter were to get out, it would be another great humiliation for the Feiqi family.

"The Feiqi family..."

"Revenge must be avenged, and kindness must be repaid double."

From the shadows, the voices of two elders emerged quietly. Their clothing, one red and one black, reflected their titles:

Prison Red Elder Rodrigo;

Dark Elder Augusto;

When Viviana and Albert saw the two men, they immediately stood at attention and bowed their heads.

"Revenge must be taken, and kindness must be repaid double," Viviana and Albert said in unison.

The two elders stopped in front of Viviana. Under this invisible sense of oppression, Viviana had to use all her strength to stop her body from trembling.

"Still can't sense the scent of pigeon blood, Viviana?" asked the Hell Red Elder Rodrigo.

"No, no, I didn't sense anything at all..."

"Oh."

The Hell Red Elder Rodrigo just responded softly, and then the surrounding walls cracked into several holes because of his anger.

"More than a week has been wasted here..."

"Forget it, Rodrigo. Viviana and the others are innocent. Don't scare them."

Just as Red Prison Elder Rodrigo was about to lose his temper, Dark Prison Elder Augusto stepped forward to stop him.

Then, Dark Elder Augusto turned around, patted Viviana, and gave new instructions to her and Albert.

"Viviana, the two of you stay in Goode Town and continue to observe the situation. Rodrigo and I will go and settle the score with the Divination Rabbit Spirit."

"O-obey!"

"I will follow Elder Minghei's orders."

After asking what needed to be asked and explaining what needed to be explained, the red and black elders stopped talking and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Even Viviana was unable to see how they left.

·

Just like that, the meeting with the Red and Black Elders ended miraculously without any danger. Viviana looked at the town of Gude below with lingering fear.

To calm this restless feeling, Viviana wanted to fight again.

Ever since she lost her pigeon blood, she hasn't fought monsters on the front lines for a long time.

“Albert…”

"My Lord, I'm afraid this won't work."

"I haven't said anything yet?"

"You're going to Shadou Canyon to defeat the Stone Shadow Rock Demon, right?"

"...Well, as expected of you."

Albert knew Viviana's little thoughts very well, but Viviana would not be stopped so easily.

These days, Viviana heard about the Stone Shadow Rock Demon in Gude Town, a monster she had never fought before.

Viviana estimated that the Stoneshadow Rock Demon's level should not be too high, probably between level 30 and 50, making it a good "rehabilitation sparring partner."

"Albert, listen to me. The Red and Black Elders are going to settle accounts with the Divination Rabbit Spirit. They won't be back for ten days or half a month. How about this? I'll be gone for eight days. I'll definitely be back in Gude Town within eight days. What do you think?"

Viviana refused to give up and started bargaining with Albert.

Albert sighed, knowing that he could not persuade this active little master this time.

"Five days. You must come back within five days."

"Okay, deal!"

"My Lord, please remember not to trigger the protective magic seal."

"Don't worry, what could possibly happen in such a peaceful area in the rear?"

Albert was giving instructions and warnings like an old mother, while Viviana was full of confidence and impatience.

The so-called magic imprint refers to the hidden conditional trigger magic that the red and black elders "engraved" on Viviana.

This magic has a prerequisite, that is, Viviana must be in the territory of the Kingdom of Wildforest. Then, when Viviana's life strength drops to a certain level, or when Viviana herself triggers it, the red and black elders will be able to rush to Viviana in no more than 5 seconds.

The reason why the Feiqi family engraved such a magical mark on Viviana was not because Viviana was cute, but because she was the only son of God in the Feiqi family.

"Alright, alright, I know everything. Please stay here."

Viviana was tired of Albert's instructions and was ready to run away.

"My Lord, I must emphasize one final point. If you fail to return within five days, I will go directly to Shadou Canyon to find you. If the family discovers our absence, I will definitely place the blame on you."

No matter how many times Albert warned, his final threat was not as effective.

Viviana swallowed her saliva and promised obediently that she would return to Goode Town within 5 days.

·

At the same time, Jiang Ran was sitting in the carriage of a caravan and had just entered the Shadou Canyon.

At this time, there were only Jiang Ran and Tochini in the carriage. Tochini took off her hat, revealing a pair of soft white rabbit ears. She lay comfortably on Jiang Ran's thighs and slept soundly.
