Emperor of Arcane

At noon.

The scorching sun is scorching the earth.

There were cracks in the muddy ground.

Even the hazy fog has dissipated a lot, revealing patches of puddles and swamps.

A pair of twisted eyes occasionally emerged from the gray-yellow reeds. After seeing the number of people in the convoy, they hid back very "obediently".

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong is their creed!

In one morning, the convoy left the control area of ​​Blood Moon City and arrived at the outskirts of the Misty Swamp.

Adam Smith, with a pale face, stepped out of the carriage and pointed to the hillside next to him:

"Stop to rest and get ready to cook."

Then, he reprimanded the guards in front of the big guys.

After a while, the guards began to search and question the team.

They found the temporary leaders of each team and scanned everyone who came over with their appraising eyes.

The big guys in the team were a little confused.

Don't they know what happened?

The cart driver stopped first and checked the vehicle skillfully to confirm that everything was normal.

The squad leader fed the horse and secretly observed the cart driver in the team.

If you can find the suspicious person, you might be able to get the appreciation of Mr. Adam Smith.

Adventurers gathered from all directions.

They only found some traces of fishmen, but no one took action.

If they don't have to, they won't provoke this kind of endlessly killing monster.

Another group of guards walked towards the hillside, skillfully digging pits, lighting fires, setting up stoves, and setting up pots.

As the hot water boils, the rich and sweet smell of meat begins to spread quickly.

The refugees at the back smelled the fragrance and immediately became calmer.

As long as someone stutters, everyone will be very obedient.

The refugees took out small benches, sat down to rest, and began to discuss among themselves in whispers.

"What are they looking for?"

"Someone stole something?"

"They seem to be looking for a wanted criminal!"

"No, from what they said, they seem to be searching for someone..."

"Something feels wrong. What happened?"

"Don't worry so much, let's rest first!"

"You're right, there are still several days to go..."

"..."

Everyone tried to keep the discussion voice down and did not appear too nervous. The guards just asked and did not take action.

This only made everyone more curious, what happened?

The carriage filled with old, weak, women and children also opened the doors and windows, revealing thin faces.

This is the result of several days of recovery.

When they first came to Blood Moon City, they were almost out of gas and their faces were full of disappointment.

At this moment, they smelled the aroma of food, and their faces showed anticipation. After experiencing the torture of hunger, they just wanted to have a full meal.

In a carriage full of people.

A thin figure, looking at the guards getting closer and closer, couldn't help but feel nervous.

Once discovered, she would most likely be in mortal danger.

She regrets it now...

However, she quickly forced herself to calm down and, like everyone else, squeezed to the car window.

Guard Captain Meren came over and saw the nervous old woman. He suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and asked with a smile as usual:

"Don't worry, old man. This is just a routine inquiry and examination. Is there anyone who behaves abnormally on weekdays?"

"I just often go out alone and stay out of everyone's sight."

The old woman nodded her head, thought carefully, and then gently shook her hand.

Captain Meren raised his head and glanced at the carriage, and happened to catch a glimpse of a pair of panicked eyes. His heart twitched slightly, and he decisively turned around and left, heading towards the next carriage.

Adam Smith made it very clear, find and identify the guy, but don't show it.

The old woman turned around calmly, waved gently to everyone in the car, and said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Did you hear that? Pay attention to those who are out of sight alone."

Her high-spirited heart was finally relieved. Like everyone else, she nodded quickly and tried not to show anything strange.

Lunch portions are generous.

Sweet and delicious rice porridge with specially added meat.

Paired with the generous portion of black bread, it greatly replenishes everyone's physical strength.

The Guards didn't seem to find anyone or clues, and there was no follow-up action. It seemed like it was just an inquiry.

The convoy soon resumed its journey.

Others quickly forgot about it, but she kept it in mind and didn't dare to make any other move.

The high-hanging scorching sun gradually lost its enthusiasm.

It plunged into the thick sunset glow, dyeing them red.

The clouds couldn't stand its passion, and fled away with a blush, changing into all kinds of strange shapes.

Looking at the town not far away, Adam Smith, who had been nervous for a day, let out a long sigh of relief.

Matthew withdrew his gaze from the team, took out a communication scroll, tore it open, and said:

"You can have a good rest at night, the battle won't happen until tomorrow!"

Adam Smith suddenly remembered.

After Sweetwater Town was destroyed, the original route was forced to change, and the team could no longer maintain the rhythm of one town every day.

You can spend the night on the town today, but not tomorrow night!

If someone really wants to take action, tomorrow night is the best chance.

Adam Smith nodded silently, then got off the carriage, ready to go and contact people in the town.

He knew that he might not be in danger today, but he still carefully warned his guards and asked the entire convoy to be more vigilant.

Matthew looked at the blood-red moon, exhaled leisurely, slowly closed his eyes, and returned his consciousness.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Matthew saw Yaya.

She was staring at her big black and white eyes, tilting her little head, carefully studying Matthew's movements, and asked in a clear voice:

"What are you doing?"

Matthew reached out and stroked her head, feeling the intimacy of the heart-to-heart connection, and answered gently:

"I'm meditating, do you want to try it?"

"Yeah? Can I do it too?"

Matthew was about to nod when he suddenly reacted.

How did this little guy get in?

Matthew browsed Yaya's attribute panel carefully.

As expected, her physical attributes have been greatly improved compared to the last time:
