Hilton's heart was filled with a bone-piercing chill.
From the beginning to the end, the young scholar's tone was filled with calmness. It was as if he was merely explaining a simple principle. There was no deliberate threat in his words, but the blond man couldn't help but feel a shiver from the depths of his soul. Every hair on his body stood on end. He couldn't help but recall the terrifying aura of a god when he was facing the two-headed demon wolf.
At this moment, he was finally sure that it was not an illusion.
Hilton asked in a trembling voice, "You … Who are you?"
"If you can be a little more honest, I'm just an ordinary follower." The Archmage's eyes met with the young priest's. At this moment, Hilton felt like a deer being stared at by a lion.
The blond man's throat was bitter, and his palms were sweating. Just when he felt that his spirit was about to collapse, the young man finally looked away from him.
"Oh, the water is boiling. I'm going to soak the bread. If you have nothing else to do, keep watch. Don't disturb me anymore."
…
When she woke up the next day, Lolo was surprised to find that Hilton, who was threatening her last night, was as obedient as a newborn kitten. He was no longer as arrogant as before. Even the way he looked at her was timid.
While eating, the girl could not help but ask her little follower, "What did you do to him? Did you secretly beat him up?"
"No, we just casually chatted for a while," Wang Yao said. Compared to last night, Rob's complexion was a lot better. At his age, losing some Vitality was not a big deal. Besides, after meditating, the problem of the agitated elements was basically solved. The young man was now in a good state of mind.
On the contrary, the rookie, The Brave, did not have enough sleep because of what happened in the middle of the night. She yawned and said, "As if I believe you. Aren't you afraid that he will complain to Captain Hansen?"
Just as she was speaking, the beautiful blonde man seemed to have made up his mind about something. He walked up to the Grade 2 Swordsman and whispered something into his ear. Hansen's expression turned ugly, and he glanced at Luo Bu and the others. Hilton seemed to be worried that he wouldn't believe her words, so she didn't hesitate to swear to the heavens. Then, the Grade 2 Swordsman's expression turned even uglier, and he finally got up and walked over.
"It's over. Seems like you're in trouble." Lolo's heart tightened. She quickly said to the boy, "Don't speak later. Let me do the talking."
Hansen walked up to the two and nodded to the rookie, The Brave. He pointed to the little follower behind her and said, "I have something to say to him."
Lolo's expression tightened. She thought to herself that what was to come would come. Although the female swordsman often complained about a certain someone, she would certainly support her little follower at times like this. The female swordsman said, "Captain Hansen, is it unfair to just listen to one person's words?"
Hansen nodded. "That's why I want to ask him. Was he late for the night watch last night?"
"Huh?"
The grade two swordsman looked at the future Supreme Magister, Your Honor. "Hilton just found me. He said that his mind was a little muddled last night, so he might have said some nonsense. He said that he remembered that you weren't late. He remembered wrongly. However, I asked the people in the previous shift. Edward said that he only saw Hilton when the shift changed. However, Hilton said that you happened to be outside at that time and rushed back quickly. He swore that what he said was the truth, so he wants me to revoke your punishment."
The boy shrugged. "This request sounds reasonable."
Hansen's expression was unfriendly. "But when I was woken up last night, I clearly saw the two of you standing outside the cave. It's obvious that you just came back."
"That's because I couldn't sleep at that time, so I asked him to chat outside the cave …" The rookie, The Brave, tried to cover for his little follower.
"Of course you can say that, but don't treat others like fools. When Beck was on night watch, he had already left the cave, and you chased after him. Do you want me to believe that the two of you came back and went out again?"
Hanson snorted coldly. Looking into Luo Bu's eyes, he said, "Since Hilton has retracted her previous statement, let's forget about this matter. I don't know what kind of game you two are playing, and I'm not interested in finding out. However, it's best if your matter doesn't affect the party. Otherwise, I won't show any mercy." After saying so, the Tier 2 Swordsman turned and left.
As soon as he left, Lolo couldn't help but cry out, "Oh my god, are you Hilton's long-lost brother? Otherwise, why would he treat you so well? He didn't hesitate to lie for you, just so that you wouldn't have to be on duty tonight. He's actually willing to swear on his character. Hmm, although his character isn't worth much. "
"…"
Just as someone predicted, the exploration party's journey was smooth for the next few days. They didn't encounter any decent Daemons along the way. They even took the time to explore a few places that looked like they might have buried treasures. Unfortunately, most of the places were empty. It was either someone had already gotten to them, or there was nothing valuable at all.
However, the old thief, Edward, accidentally caught a few wild hares in the small traps that he set up one night, which helped the exploration party improve their meals.
Along the way, Rob and the others also met two other exploration parties. Everyone had a tacit understanding to keep their distance from each other and not disturb each other.
On the morning of the fourth day, the exploration party finally arrived at the edge of the forest under the huge shadow.
The majestic city wall in front of them was awe-inspiring just by looking at it from afar. When you really stood at its foot, the awe would be even more intense.
The new city wall that Ryan had spent a huge sum of money to build looked magnificent, and the merchants who came and went would praise it when they first saw it. However, compared to the city wall in front of them, the former was like a child's toy block. In the long history of the civilizations built by every race on the Dawn Continent, you wouldn't be able to find another building as magnificent as this one.
The towering city wall was like a precipice in the middle of a cliff that was tens of thousands of meters high. It divided the world into two in an unreasonable manner. The top of the wall even reached into the clouds, and even the sunlight was blocked on the other side of the world. If you were an enemy of the guy on the other side of the wall, you would definitely feel despair when you saw this tall wall.
Lolo raised her head and barely saw the top of the wall until her neck was sore. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Really? How tall is this wall?"
"My preliminary estimate is that it should be more than 200 to 40 meters."
The rookie, The Brave, was stunned. She was just lamenting, but she didn't expect the little scholar to really give her the answer. Furthermore, the number was accurate to 10 meters. This made her a little unconvinced. This guy didn't even measure the wall with a ruler, so how could he know the exact height of the wall? He was just making things up.
