the next day.
Loren Hill took Lottie to the forest near the town, because there were more monsters here, and many targets needed to be dealt with.
"The lord issued a lot of tasks, and we also rushed over from other places."
Beside the two, there are several other adventurers, some of them are young, some are slightly older, wearing various armors, holding spears, scimitars, and crossbows.
Because the goals of this mission are many and the distance is very close, they stopped by for a while and chatted on the road.
"Is this Miss Messia's sister?" Several people knew Loren Hill, but it was the first time Lottie met.
"No, but it's also my junior who was entrusted by my friends to take care of me." Roland Hill said, although she looked young and a little girlish, but other adventurers who had seen her strength did not. feel strange.
"Haha, that seems to be very powerful." Several people smiled, and then traveled through the forest together.
There are no roads in the forest. Every time a few people walk a certain distance, they will leave a mark on the tree, so that it will be much more convenient when they come back, and they will not get lost.
"Originally, according to the general practice, when entering the mountain, you have to find a local person as a guide."
"It's a pity that there are a lot of adventurers recently, and good guides have been hired long ago, while others heard that they were crusade against demon beasts, and they were reluctant to come out for fear of being affected." They explained a little, while Lottie looked at the tree trunk curiously. engraved cross marks.
"I don't know the name of this young lady yet." One of the young people seemed to have a good impression of Lottie and kept looking for topics.
"My name is Lottie," she replied simply.
"What a good name, my name is..." After that, the young man began to introduce himself, but Lottie didn't seem to have listened to it.
As the young lady of the Duke's family, she has been complimented and admired since she was a child.
But because of staying by Roland Hill's side, Lottie didn't want to make the relationship too stiff.
A few people went all the way in this way, saying a few words from time to time, until a ranger in the team stopped and crouched under a tree.
"Wait a moment."
He pushed aside the grass, looked at the pile of feces below, looked at it carefully, and stood up.
"That beast should be not far away." He said, taking off the short bow on his back and starting to prepare for battle.
"Is it coming so soon?" The young man was a little regretful, he was not familiar with this Miss Lottie yet.
Although Roland Hill is more beautiful and beautiful, he also understands that it is difficult for him to pursue this genius swordsman girl, so he turns his goal to Lottie, who is easier.
After a few people pondered for a while, they began to move forward in small steps. In response, Loren Hill took Lottie to the side. Their mission was not here, so they continued to move forward. Of course, it will also avoid the hunting range of this team.
After the two left, they thought about walking on the other side of the hill.
The shade of the trees here is thicker, the ground is full of moss, and the air is slightly humid. It seems that there is a water source nearby.
Because few people come, the bushes here are relatively dense, and you need to use a sword to split the thorns that block the road before you walk a long distance. After moving forward another distance, a splash of water came from the front.
Is there a waterfall? Roland Hill thought to herself, and then she heard other voices. She stopped for a while, so that Lotte behind her stopped unconsciously, and looked at the girl in front of her curiously.
Shh.
Roland Hill raised his fingers to express a low voice, and then listened to the subtle voices coming from the direction of the waterfall.
"Have you found the thing?" The voice came from under the waterfall, very faint. If it wasn't for Roland Hill, others might not have noticed it at all. Valley
"Not yet, but for sure, in this forest."
"The Viscount Moruo would occasionally come out at night and disappear into this area."
"Are there any tunnels or ruins?"
"It should be, but the personnel we monitored before were only Sequence 3, with average concealment ability, and we dared not get too close."
"Although Viscount Moruo has average strength, he has a family heirloom treasure in his hand and can sense the life around him. This is why their family often avoids assassination during noble struggles."
"And the more you stay in a place where there are few and sparse people, the better the effect of this treasure."
"Sure enough, it is a family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there is still a lot of background, but we also have sufficient information."
"Wait a little longer, the organization will send elites to come to support, and then it can be safely won."
"Unfortunately, if it weren't for the failure of the previous operation, we would have known what kind of treasure was given to Viscount Moruo. It cost a lot of money to find an alchemist to build it. During the period, we also invited the 'White Bee' organization to escort it until the dragon. We only received the news in the vicinity of Wing Province."

The two negotiated a few more words and then separated. After the sound disappeared completely, Roland Hill and Lotte walked out.
"What happened?" Lottie asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just heard some secrets." The girl recalled the assassins she met on the road, and had some thoughts in her mind, but she was still not sure. After all, the information was still insufficient.
I'll have a good chat with Miss Charlene when I get back to the city. She should know about the organization 'Fire-Eyed Warbler'.
Putting down the thoughts in his mind for a while, Loren Hill continued to move forward with Lottie. With the help of the jagged rocks on the mountain wall, the two jumped and climbed up to the upstream of the waterfall. At this time, they could finally see a piece of water. Color verdant light green jungle.
There is a group of baboons living here. It used to be nothing, but recently several of them have mutated or advanced and become extraordinary monsters. They guarded this water source and caused a lot of obstacles and troubles to the local people who were logging in the mountains and forests. Therefore, It only takes two people to deal with it.
Seeing an outsider approaching, a few grumpy baboons howled, then jumped down from the tree, picked up the rocks by the river in their hands, and smashed them hard.
swoosh—
The girl avoided easily, while Lottie raised her sword and split the flying rubble. The swordsmanship she has learned since childhood is not the style of light and wandering, but more like the sharp killing technique of opening and closing in the army.
Perhaps this is also the tradition of the Baska family, which attaches great importance to military strategy. And even for girls, Lottie has been greatly influenced in this area.
"I'll deal with the three on the right, and the two on the left will be handed over to you." Roland Hill simply divided the work, then flashed his body and attacked.
"Understood." Lottie held the black blade and looked intently at the two baboons whose bodies were as gray as iron. The long sword then slammed down, breaking through the air with a sharp whistle.
The piercing blade of the sword broke through the hard skin, cut into the thick flesh and bones, and cut off the bones of the baboon, causing it to roar in rage, and the sturdy arm slapped it like a hammer.
It was another fierce confrontation, the black blade slashed at the huge palm, and cut the hard outer skin in a spark, bringing with it the blood that splashed.
The hot blood splashed on his face, Lottie did not blink, moved a few steps again, brought the killed steel baboon to one side, and then used its cover to avoid the attack of the other one.
After consuming the magic power, the young girl gasped and picked up the sword again. The blade began to glow with fiery light, and then swept away violently. An orange-red blade flashed past, slicing the baboon that struck again.
After the successful casting, Lottie sat on the ground with a sore body when she saw that both baboons fell to the ground and died.
It's solved. She gasped and turned her head to see the situation on Loren Hill.
"Soon."
On the other side, Roland Hill held the long sword in one hand. She simply waved it in the air, then put her scabbard back into her scabbard and walked back slowly. Behind her, the baboons had already fallen silently by the river.
