Chapter 88 White Spider Forest

Early the next morning, just after dawn, the side door of the mountain behind the castle was pushed open.

Viscount Moreau walked back to the castle with great momentum, his face still showing the heavy bags under his eyes from staying up late. As an old man over fifty, he is no longer young. Behind him, the housekeeper dragged a girl in. It can be seen from the unhappy expressions of the two people that the operation last night did not go smoothly.

Throwing the ragged girl aside, the housekeeper turned around and carefully closed the door. Then he came to Viscount Moreau and asked carefully.

"What should I do with her?" It was obvious that Viscount Noro was very irritable at this time, so the housekeeper asked with extra caution.

"Why did you bring her back? You can't just put her to death outside." Viscount Moruo waved his hand in disgust.

"Sir, if you throw a body outside, it will always cause a lot of trouble." The butler explained in a low voice. Discovering a corpse in the wild will probably lead to reports from adventurers. Even if it can be suppressed, it will cause a lot of trouble, which is not in line with the current plan to keep a low profile.

"Tsk, that's really troublesome. Lock her up underground in the castle and talk about it later." Viscount Moreau took off his gloves, threw them aside, and left angrily. He needs a big meal to calm down, and then he needs a good night's sleep.

—————

In the small town under the hillside of the castle, Lorraine Hill had just gotten up at this time.

After washing his face and putting on the fitting silver armor again, Lorraine Hill walked out of the room.

"Good morning, Miss Mecia." Members of the caravan greeted her on the road, and some adventurers who met her last night also waved to the girl.

"Good morning, beautiful and heroic Miss Mecia."

Walking through the courtyard where the caravan was stationed, Lorraine Hill came to the place where breakfast was prepared. Today's meal was scones and hot vegetable soup.

In the lively canteen, everyone chatted about their recent work and what happened.

"I heard that a lot of magical beasts have appeared nearby recently, and many adventurers have been summoned by missions."

"Well, yes, tents, ropes and other field tools are also a lot more expensive. Unfortunately, we didn't have many of these in the goods we brought this time."

"I missed another good opportunity to make a fortune." A caravan member lamented.

"Not necessarily. You can always find some suitable things, such as candles, blankets, etc., which are also needed in the wild. And our caravan is the only one who came here this time. Even if other chambers of commerce receive the news and send people to transport goods, they will probably have to It’s two weeks later.”

"Take advantage of this time to set up a stall and try to make a small profit."

"Well, you are still smart." The two said and laughed again.

Listening to the chatting not far away, Lorraine Hill was thoughtful. After eating breakfast, she stood up and walked towards the adventurer hall in the city.

After some inquiring and handing over, Lorraine Hill also knew the direction of the next mission, which was in the mountains not far from the small town.

"That's the direction. Along the mountain wall to the west, about 20 miles or so, there is a forest covered with cobwebs. That's what you want to clean up."

"Yes, I understand." The girl nodded, and then she asked the counter staff again.

"Have there been a lot of monsters recently?"

"Yes, although they are not high-level monsters, most of which are only level 1-2, they are still very threatening to ordinary people."

"In this case, if the adventurers are too busy, what will the local lord do? I rarely travel and don't know much about this area."

"Under such circumstances, we will generally issue higher tasks and solicit and recruit manpower from a wider range to solve them."

"And if the Warcraft is above Sequence 6, the local lords will usually report this situation to their superiors, and the nobles at a higher level will always have means."

"It is difficult for ordinary people to see Sequence 6 powerhouses. The great nobles need to know a lot about them, and some of them even serve in their mansions."

"As for the higher level, Sequence 7 and other Warcraft, such existence will attract attention in the entire empire. At that time, the Sages will receive the news and send people over."

"Compared to ordinary people like us, the extraordinary beings trained by Emenas are too powerful. They can solve problems by sending some graduates here at will."

Next, Lorraine Hill inquired a lot about the situation in the empire and the southern territory, and then temporarily resigned before suspicion arose.

Let's stop here today, it will be very unusual if we ask again, Lorraine Hill thought to himself. Let's discuss the current situation with some mercenaries later. These mercenaries and adventurers travel around the southern border due to tasks or work, and their understanding of the situation is more realistic.

Carrying the long sword, the girl turned around and went to the market, bought some outdoor survival equipment, and then started heading into the mountain. Although she doesn't lack these, she still has to show off after all.

The dazzling sunshine baked the ground. Although it was already September, the southern part of the empire did not fall into the cold, and the summer heat wave still remained.

Walking in the silent mountain forest, you can only hear the chirping of cicadas and birds in the distance. Lorraine Hill looked around with a little curiosity. Compared with the forest of Crancia, the plants here are very different. The trees The weeds in the shade all have different appearances.

This one looks like mignonette, with tiny white flowers. Lorraine Hill's eyes swept across a clump of grass in the shade, and he knelt down to watch with curiosity.

In fact, she was very interested in all kinds of flowers and plants. When she saw the flowers and plants recorded in the book but she had never seen them with her own eyes, she felt a little happy.

Stop and go along the way, although

It feels like an outing, but the actual speed is much faster than that of ordinary adventurers. The armor on her body did not hinder the girl's movements. She stepped lightly on dead branches and several roots in the forest, and always landed on a flat surface.

As Loland Hill continued to advance into the forest, the small city behind became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared from sight after turning on a hillside.

This place is already deep in the forest, and occasionally small animals can be seen moving among the bushes. Some of them were gray wood rats, shaggy boars, and white-tailed deer with a hint of white fur.

"this....."

Lorraine Hill, who was walking in the forest, stopped because a small animal stood in front of her.

It looks like a raccoon dog with black and white fur, but it looks very similar to a raccoon, but in fact they are two very different animals.

This raccoon dog should not be an animal in this forest. Lorraine Hill remembered that this animal should live near the water.

This little guy seemed to be thirsty. He had a long mouth, and the thick hair on his body made it difficult for body heat to escape. At this time, he had to stick out his tongue to breathe.

It looked at the girl slightly nervously, as if hesitating, a little scared but also begging for help. It didn't seem to be afraid of people.

"Are you thirsty?" Lorraine Hill was a little puzzled. She thought about taking out a water-filled orange from behind, breaking it open and handing it over.

The little guy immediately squatted on the ground and started eating happily. After eating, he licked his lips, as if he still had something to say, and raised his head to look at the girl.

"Okay, let me give you another one." The girl thought, and then took out another orange.

In this way, this black and white raccoon dog ate three oranges in a row before stopping.

Then Lorraine Hill continued to move forward, and the raccoon dog also followed. It didn't follow boldly, but followed the scent secretly, seeming to regard the girl as a savior to survive in the forest. .

In response, Lorraine Hill could only shake his head and let it hang far behind him.

However, the destination is almost here.

The girl raised her head and looked between the tall branches of the trees. Some white spider webs came into her eyes, and the forest ahead was also dark.

Thick cobwebs cover the woods, and where the sun doesn't shine, some small spiders crawl along the tree trunks, which makes people a little creepy.

No wonder no one else took up this mission.

Lorraine Hill observed the situation inside the forest and slowly pulled out the sword. A faint purple light gradually shone on the blade.

As the magic power gathered and surged, rustling sounds came from the forest, and several huge and ferocious white spiders surged out. Their dense eyes looked at the delicate adventurer under the tall tree shade.
