Uncle Peg stood at the door of his stone house wearing an old sheepskin coat, watching a figure in the distance holding a burning fire stick approaching the pier from the gravel beach by the lake.
"Claude, is that you?" Uncle Peg shouted.
The figure climbed up the pier of the pier with some difficulty: "It's me, Uncle Peg."
"Didn't you find Ike's ship?" Uncle Peg asked.
Claude's walking posture was a little staggering: "Don't mention it, I went around in a big circle and didn't find Ike and Vero, and I don't know where they took the boat. I had bad luck when I came back. Sora even fell down."
"Then are you okay?" Uncle Peg could vaguely see some dirt on Claude's body through the light of the fire stick. It seemed that the fall was strong enough.
"I'm fine, Uncle Peg." Claude walked to the carriage parked at the pier. When he got there, he unloaded his backpack on the carriage. Then he climbed into the carriage and sat in the driving seat, driving the black horse. Mi came to the dock gate.
"Uncle Peg, thank you for waiting for me for such a long time. It's a pity that I couldn't find Ike and Willow. Tomorrow is Sunday, and they may not come back until the afternoon. Then you can just tell them that I have been here. Now I Go back and take a hot shower first. You are covered in mud and very dirty. In two days I will catch a rabbit at the forest farm and give it to uncle to drink with you." Claude said very politely.
"It's okay, I will tell Ike and Vero. You should be careful on your way back and don't drive the carriage too fast." Uncle Peg opened the gate of the dock.
After saying goodbye to Uncle Peg, Claude drove the carriage back to the forest farm. The journey went smoothly. I returned to the forest farm, unloaded the carriage, drove the black horse Jamie back to the stable, and added horse feed and water to its trough. Then he said hello to Sioli who came out of the shed when he heard the noise at the chicken farm in the forest next to the mountain. After asking if anything happened at the chicken farm that night, he carried his backpack and headed towards his apartment. Go to that wooden house.
After returning to the cabin, Claude lit the oil lamp, took out all the magic materials in his backpack and put them away. Then he hung the hunting crossbow that the bearded man had used to ambush him on the wall, and then found the wound on his body where he found a bottle of healing potion. After doing all this, Claude took the same dark robe from the closet and put it on, hung the captured dagger on his waist, loaded the magic hand crossbow with arrows, and tied it to himself. on the right arm.
Finally, Claude picked up two bottles of kale, which he bought for distilling alcohol in the pharmacy laboratory for experiments. He bought a box of twelve bottles in total, seven of which he had already used. He put the two bottles of kale into his empty backpack, put the backpack on his back, blew out the oil lamp, quietly opened the door, and walked out of the cabin. With the help of the shadows of the houses and trees, Claude quietly left the forest farm again and walked down the mountain.
There were still many things to do tonight, and he had to hurry up. He also had to be busy looking at the silver moon in the sky, half of his body covered by clouds. Claude sighed and continued on his way silently.
It only takes about forty minutes to drive a carriage from the forest farm to the private dock of Ericson's house. But it takes more than two hours to walk there with both feet. However, it was almost midnight, and there was no one on the street. Claude didn't need to worry about running into someone who knew him. He could move quickly along the road, as long as he was careful to avoid the night patrols.
It was about one o'clock in the morning when we arrived at Erikson's private dock. Claude had no intention of going in, but turned a corner and walked from the alley next to the dock to the lakeside and went down to the gravel beach by the lake. Go up and re-take the old road along the lake embankment.
After about ten minutes, Claude once again came to the woods where he was ambushed by the bearded man. At this time, Claude picked up the magic hand crossbow, cautiously approached the woods, and raised his ears to listen to what was going on around him.
{} Claude did not want to pass by the tavern. Although there were few people at this time, the tavern was relatively bright. There were four large oil lamps lit in the lobby. Under such circumstances, it would be easy for others to see him clearly. looks.
We walked around to the entrance of the passage behind the building. Although there were oil lamps in the concierge, the passage was relatively dark. Perhaps someone pretending to be drunk could easily get through. Claude thought for a while, then returned to the body, took off the burqa, trousers and shoes of the bearded man, and inspected them.
