Although Lauren Claudien had a horse as a knight, his followers were all on foot, so there was no need to worry about being left too far behind and not being able to catch up.
Even so, Weiler was just a child after all. Whether it was the length of his strides or his stamina, he was not as good as an adult, not to mention that he was carrying some luggage. It was obviously not easy for him to catch up with the other party.
"Should we help him?"
Xu Shenxing, who was secretly following behind the other party, asked Charlotte.
He was not the type who liked to procrastinate — especially when this matter involved tailing a young boy.
"No … No, it should be said that now is not the time for us to make a move." Charlotte put her index finger on her cherry lips and made a 'shh' gesture to Xu Shenxing. At the same time, she revealed a mysterious smile, "According to my perception, something very interesting seems to be happening in front."
"Tsk, so what if you have a strong perception …"
Xu Shenxing muttered softly.
"Sorry, I can do whatever I want with a strong perception ~" Charlotte looked very happy.
Although she was not entirely correct, Xu Shenxing, who suffered a great loss in perception, was also very clear that what she said was basically correct.
When it came to perception, it was generally an ability similar to radar or the mini-map in games. But in fact, with the strengthening of perception, there could even be a qualitative change, relying on the omniscience of all the information in a certain area to achieve an effect similar to 'Future Vision.'
It was a pity that the supernatural powers of this world were greatly suppressed, especially for Charlotte, who was a god of a monotheistic religion and had the power of omniscience and omnipotence in the myths. Now, her power could only cover half of the continent, just like the Sky Eye system, and she was nothing more than a chicken.
Of course, she could still defeat Xu Shenxing's trashy perception by a few dozen streets …
On the other hand, Weiler, who was completely unaware that he was being tailed by three people, compared the crude map of the nearby area given to him by the restaurant owner while looking for the knight named Lauren Claudien in the direction indicated by the freckled boy.
As a result, when he finally found a shortcut through the dense bushes that were impossible for horses to pass through, a strong smell of rust wafted into his nose.
Weiler had smelled it before. Restaurateurs kept animals in their backyards so that they could be slaughtered when the price of meat went up or when there was a shortage of meat.
Only when a considerable number of livestock were slaughtered on the same day would there be such a disgusting smell in the backyard.
Could it be that a passerby was attacked by a wild beast?
With this thought in mind, Wayle poked his head out and carefully looked at the roadside where the fishy smell came from.
In the end, he saw corpses all over the ground.
Judging from their attire, the deceased were all attendants and retainer knights. There were also some people wearing leather armor and holding weapons.
A few days ago, the lord of the nearby area (who was the freckled boy's father) had changed the equipment of the nearby army. The uniform armor made them look rather impressive. As far as Weiler knew, there seemed to be only one group of thieves in the vicinity who wore leather armor.
But this place should be quite far away from the bandit's hideout …
Then, Weiler's gaze was attracted by a survivor not far away.
It was a rather handsome young man who was holding a wooden box the size of a soup pot.
At first, Wayler felt that the other party was very familiar. After looking at him for a few seconds, he suddenly realized that the other party was the Knight Lauren Claudian in the portrait that the freckled boy had shown him before!
At this time, Claudian was in a very sorry state. It was not an exaggeration to say that he had thrown away his helmet and armor. His handsome face was covered with blood and dirt. He was sitting in a paralyzed position, panicking as he tried to escape from here.
But it was obvious that his goal was not going to be achieved.
Because there were still a few fierce-looking people wearing leather armor slowly surrounding him.
In fact, from the mocking expression on their faces, perhaps the reason why Claudian was able to survive until now was because they were like felines teasing their prey. They were deriving pleasure from teasing Claudian, the famous knight of the continent.
And after watching for a while, Weiler also had doubts in his heart.
In the rumors, the Knight Lauren Claudian was a brave man. It was said that he could single-handedly kill a giant bear, challenge a snow monster, and even easily defeat the legendary mysterious werewolves.
Not to mention a few bandits wearing leather armor, even if he was surrounded by a hundred soldiers, he should be able to break through. But now, the other party's performance really did not seem like the rumored brave warrior.
His sword was clearly at his waist, but when faced with the bandits' provocation, he only wanted to escape and had no intention of fighting.
Could it be that this guy was just a swindler who used the name of Knight Lauren Claudian to swindle people?
But even if he could deceive ordinary people, he should not be able to deceive a lord who had a fief.
No matter what, the current situation was clearly not something a child like Weiler could interfere with.
So, Weiler spent about 0.2 seconds to decide to leave this place without attracting the attention of the bandits as much as possible.
But when he planned to shrink back into the bushes, he felt as if someone had pushed him from behind, causing him to lose his balance and roll out of the bushes.
At this moment, he looked at the bushes, but did not find anything hidden inside.
Could it be that my foot slipped?
In the end, he could only come to this conclusion.
At this point, it was impossible not to alarm the bandits — after hearing the sound, they had already looked over.
Some of them even began to stride over.
Weiler was like a startled rabbit, trying to escape from this place.
At the same time, perhaps feeling that Weiler had attracted the attention of all the bandits, Lauren Claudian took this opportunity to pick up the box and wanted to escape.
But the bandits' reaction was faster than he thought.
Almost at the same time, one of the bandits reacted and lifted his leg to kick Knight Claudian to the ground. He even used his foot to stomp on Claudian's chest. If the knight did not have a breastplate, this kick would have broken a few of his ribs.
At the same time Claudian fell to the ground, the box he was holding also fell to the ground.
With the crisp sound of a wooden board breaking, the lid of the box fell down. Then, something fell out of the box that Weiler could not pretend not to see.
It was a golden apple.
