Chapter 65: Hurrying on the Road

"Thank you, Mr. Helag!" Josh was overjoyed.

"I just do my job for money. I can get 10,000 gold coins for escorting a section of the way. Where can I find such a good thing? I just hope you don't break your promise, otherwise the consequences will be serious." Helag waved his hand.

"Don't worry, sir, I will never break my promise." Josh's attitude was very sincere.

After Helag had eaten and drunk enough, he went into his tent to sleep.

Jilan made a bowl for Josh with leaves, and then served Josh a bowl of soup from the pot.

This was specially left by Helag, and the price was to help him clean the pot, but he was too lazy to wash it.

Josh didn't mind drinking the remaining pot of soup from Helag. After taking a sip, he handed over the bowl made of leaves: "Uncle Jilan, you drink too."

He then broke the biscuit in half and gave half to Jilan.

Jilan hesitated for a while but didn't refuse. He hadn't eaten for two days and was really hungry. Considering that he would have to fight later, he ate it himself.

Herag was lying in the tent, and he could see the scene outside the tent clearly.

He didn't sleep either, but lay down to meditate. Now without the help of meteorite grass, he had to work harder to practice meditation.

The next morning, the rain stopped, but the fog was thicker.

Jilan closed his eyes and rested against the tree, and Josh fell asleep on him, wearing Jilan's cloak.

Herag didn't hide the movement of getting up. Jilan slowly opened his eyes and checked Josh's condition for the first time. After confirming that there was no abnormality, he felt relieved.

Herag waved his hand, and the tent, rainproof cloth and other things on the ground were put into the space ring.

He turned to the master and servant under the tree and said, "I'm ready to go."

"Okay!" Jilan and Josh stood up honestly and followed Herag.

Herag took out the map and checked the direction and started to set off.

"Tell me about your situation." Herag walked in front and said casually. He had to find out what troubles these two people encountered and what the situation was, so that he could be prepared.

"I am the second son of Count Remi of the Tassoni Territory. A few days ago, Uncle Kieran and I went to the countryside to check the growth of crops. Everything was going well, but I didn't expect to be attacked by a group of people on the way back. Those people were obviously prepared, and they even had crossbows! Uncle Kieran protected me and killed them, but all the other guards died."

Josh's tone was a little sad, as if he was very angry about the death of those guards.

"Do you know who did it?" Herag asked casually.

Josh took a deep breath: "Who else could it be? It must be Luqi, my brother. He was afraid that I would compete for his inheritance rights, and he had conflicts with me over the years. Now that my father's health is getting worse, he is even more anxious.

"Oh." Herag nodded expressionlessly. There is nothing new under the sun. It's this old-fashioned drama of fighting for power.

"Are there still pursuers behind? This is not the outskirts of the forest." Herag continued to ask.

It will take at least a day to walk out of the forest from this location.

Kieran replied: "There are people from the Thieves Guild, great knight-level assassins. I am not sure that I can protect Master Qiao Xi under his hands, so I can only run away. "

"I see, I have seen him, and he is also looking at us." Herag glanced at the southeast direction and said.

"What?" Kieran immediately became nervous.

Even he dared not say that he could defend against the assassination of the great knight-level assassin 100%, not to mention that he did not even have the knight-level strength of Master Qiao Xi.

"What are you afraid of? Let's go. We have to hurry." Herag looked indifferent, looking at the two of them standing there nervously looking around, and said speechlessly.

"Oh, okay. "Kieran also reacted. There is a powerful wizard here, so he doesn't have to worry too much.

He felt the familiar and mysterious breath the first time he saw Herag. Although the Great Knight has no magic power, he has a certain perception of magic.

He is very familiar with the breath on Herag. All the powerful wizards he has met have such a breath.

In the forest in the distance, a bald man was stared at by Herag and his whole body shuddered.

"How did he find me!" Robert was puzzled. He was a Great Knight assassin and the ace of the Thieves Guild.

He has always been confident in his concealment skills. Even opponents who are also Great Knights find it difficult to see through his concealment skills.

But now, more than 200 meters away, the young man actually saw his position at a glance.

"How is this possible! "Robert felt like he had seen a ghost.

The most important thing was that he didn't dare to make a move.

He felt the fear from deep in his heart from Herag's casual glance.

Years of experience on the edge of life and death told him that he would die if he approached the man rashly.

As an outstanding thief, Robert always believed in his intuition.

"I can't do this job anymore. It's a pity to lose so many gold coins." Robert sighed, looking painful.

When he thought about so many gold coins going away from him, his heart ached. But despite the pain, Robert still made up his mind to give up this task, at least until the young man and Josh, the master and servant, separated, he could take action.

He has been in the business for so many years, relying on his keen intuition and sufficient caution, and he has a very keen sense of death.

"Give up?" Herag saw from the deep blue detection that the man behind him seemed to have left and didn't seem to plan to continue tracking them.

The more Robert thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. When he was hanging behind Herag, the fear in his heart became stronger and stronger, so he left decisively and gave up even continuing to track and observe the situation.

"It saves me a little trouble." Herag didn't care and continued to move forward.

Now his physical fitness alone can rival that of a great knight, not to mention the various spells to assist.

These ordinary knights and great knights can hardly pose any threat to him.

Herag didn't mention that the assassin had left, so Kieran concentrated his mental power all the way and kept an eye on his surroundings.

Herag didn't bother to remind him. It was just right to have more people on guard, so why not.

The three of them walked until dusk and could already see the plain at the foot of the mountain from afar.

"Mr. Herag, let's rest in the forest tonight. The plain is too wide." Kieran suggested.

Herag nodded and agreed to his proposal. Kieran's meaning was very clear. If there was an enemy ambush, they would be targets and there would be no place to turn.

The terrain in the forest was complicated, and even if there was an enemy ambush, they could still maneuver.

For a great knight-level warrior, it would not be a problem for him to deal with dozens of people in the forest at night, not to mention that Herag was there.
