Chapter 57 Knight and Rose

After running for a distance, Herag could no longer sense the movement over there, so he began to take a detour towards the exit.

More than 40 minutes later, Herag arrived at the exit, and he did not meet anyone else along the way.

The four horses at the exit were still there, and there was another carriage. Herag estimated that this should be the carriage of the three third-class wizard apprentices.

Herag mounted his horse and began to run wildly, ready to rush all the way back to Moonlight Forest.

"From what those three people said, Malcolm should have found that Rune died in Moonlight Forest, and he put the account on Moonlight Forest, and also offered a reward..."

He took off his robe and changed into a set of casual clothes.

Herag kicked the horse's belly, and the horse ran faster.

More than an hour later, Herag was relieved to see that there were no pursuers behind him.

"Huh?" Suddenly there was the sound of swords clashing in front, as well as crying and shouting.

When Herag rode closer, he found that a group of bandits were besieging a caravan.

There were about 30 bandits, and there were also crossbowmen.

There were only more than a dozen people in the caravan, and they were struggling to hold on with the carriages as defenses. There were many corpses lying around.

"Brothers, come on, they can't hold on any longer. This is a noble, there must be something good!" The leader of the bandits was a man with a long scar on his face, standing on the periphery to command the attack.

The strongest in the caravan was a knight-level strongman in his forties or fifties, who stood alone in the middle of the carriage, holding a huge shield to block the attacks of these bandits.

Herag just took a look and continued to move forward, he didn't want to cause trouble.

He rode past on horseback, and the scarred man not far away noticed him. He saw the two rings on Herag's hands at a glance, and his eyes lit up: "Stop him! This man has good stuff!"

Seven or eight arrows responded and went straight to Herag's upper body, as if they wanted to shoot him down.

Herag had received Deep Blue's warning in advance and dodged the arrows by crouching low.

"This guy is quite capable, shoot his horse!" The bandit leader continued to command.

Several arrows soon pierced the horse's butt and belly, and the horse wailed and fell to the ground.

Herag rolled to the ground, staring at the bandits with cold eyes.

"Hahaha! Good shot, kill him!" The bandit leader laughed and immediately ordered seven or eight people to rush towards Herag.

At the same time, several crossbowmen began to aim at Herag, and arrows were shot at Herag.

"Ice shield!"

"Mana shield!"

"Dark energy shield!"

The arrows hit the heavy shield and bounced off and fell to the ground. These arrows could not cause any harm to Herag at all.

The smile of the bandit leader froze on his face. When he saw the strange shields on Herag, he felt a little uneasy.

Clang!

Herag drew out his sharp sword and rushed towards the bandits.

Arrows continued to shoot at them, and without exception, they were all deflected.

Herag's physical fitness was now at the knight level. He approached the bandits in a few steps, and flew high after swinging his sword over a head.

The swords and arrows of these bandits had no effect on Herag, and they couldn't even break the most basic defense.

In the blink of an eye, Herag killed one person in one step, and the eight bandits who rushed over all fell to the ground, with blood flowing all over the ground.

"Monster... Monster!" The bandits were scared to death when they saw this scene. They had never seen the shield on Herag, which was something they couldn't understand.

The bandits started to run away, and they didn't even care about the caravan next to them.

The bandit leader ran the fastest, running away alone without saying a word, riding a horse and running wildly.

Herag locked his eyes on him, and a corrosive arrow quickly formed in his hand, heading straight for the bandit leader.

Whoosh!

The corrosive arrow went straight through the bandit leader's neck, knocking him off his horse.

A terrible blood hole appeared on the bandit leader's neck, and the edge of the hole was all black with corrosive energy.

The bandits completely lost their backbone and began to flee.

Herag was too lazy to chase them, chasing these people would waste his time on the road.

He looked back at the horse lying on the ground, which had little energy left, and walked towards the convoy.

"Thank you, Lord Mysterious, for helping us! The Allison family will always remember your kindness!" The middle-aged knight knelt down on one knee to thank Herag when he saw him coming.

"Hello, my name is Yufei Allison." A noble girl in luxurious clothes walked down from the carriage behind, with a very delicate face and white stockings wrapped around her calves.

Herag glanced at her calmly without saying anything, then turned to ask the middle-aged knight: "Can I buy a horse?"

"Buy... buy a horse?" The middle-aged knight was a little unresponsive, and then said: "Of course, you don't have to buy it, just ride any horse you like."

Herag nodded, picked a sturdy black horse and rode on it, then threw two gold coins on the ground and rode away.

Yufei came over and helped the middle-aged knight up: "Uncle Shanni, I think he is the knight I am looking for."

Knight Shanni sighed helplessly: "Miss Yufei, the lord just now is not a knight, but a legendary wizard, don't provoke him."

"But it's written like this in knight novels. The knight will always appear when the princess is in danger, rescue the princess and live a happy life." Yufei was holding a novel called "The Knight and the Rose" in her hand.

Shanni knew that his lady was addicted to knight novels recently, and said: "Miss Yufei, let's get on the car first and go home quickly while these robbers are scared away."

"These two gold coins must be kept well." Shanni carefully picked up the two gold coins dropped by Herag, wiped the dust off them and put them in his arms.

This was just a trivial matter for Herag on the way. What annoyed him was that the damned robbers delayed his journey.

Herag didn't stop along the way. He only found a place to camp and rest at night, and let the horse eat grass and drink water to rest.

Three days later, Herag arrived at the Red Mountain Station.

He felt the tense atmosphere as soon as he arrived. There was a formal wizard and three third-class wizard apprentices stationed at the station.

"There was still no one guarding when I left." Herag was a little surprised.

"Show me your rune stone." A fat third-class wizard apprentice came to check his identity.

Herag handed the rune stone over honestly. After checking it, the fat wizard did not find any problems and returned the rune stone to Herag.

He then took out something like a bamboo section and said, "This is a faceless bamboo section. Take it and suck it with your mouth."

Herag did as he was told. After sucking it, white smoke came out of his ears, nose, and mouth. The white smoke dissipated after a while.
