morning.

Martina, full of energy, put on her armor and mounted her horse.

She looked at Nora with a slight smile in her eyes.

"You are becoming more and more disgusting." Nora stuffed the half-eaten white bread into her pocket and said bluntly.

(I won’t say anymore, I must have eaten it again last night, otherwise I wouldn’t be smiling so happily.)

Martina didn't argue, she put on her helmet.

But the inner voice still floated over: (I have surpassed you, I even know the master's last name.)

Reiner looked at the backs of the two people and sighed helplessly.

The team took a short break and then continued on their way.

In front of us is a pine forest covered with snow.

Barnet is a country surrounded by forests.

After crossing this vast forest, we should reach the border city.

Reiner yawned, unfolded the map, took a look, found a few reference points, and after confirming that he was going in the right direction, he led a few people straight into the forest.

"Nora, if there's anything wrong, tell me first."

"Understood, Master."

Reiner lifted his mask and exhaled some hot air to warm his almost frozen hands.

After walking for a while, he suddenly felt something strange around him.

Logically speaking, this dense forest should be the home of many monsters.

What about tree monsters, snow wolves, or goblins.

But we've been in the forest for almost half an hour, and we haven't seen even a single jumping slime.

"Nora... do you feel something is wrong?"

"It's surprisingly quiet here." She raised her head and looked into the depths of the forest.

Suddenly, her ears pricked up.

"Master, there seems to be something on the tree."

As soon as he finished speaking, an arrow came from the darkness.

Nora was quick to throw out the flying arrow, and the two collided and deviated from their paths.

This arrow was aimed directly at Reiner's life.

If it weren't for Nora's excellent insight, he might have been lying on the ground.

Reiner quickly put on his mask: "Who?"

Seeing no response, Reiner raised his staff and condensed a huge fireball.

Just then, the attacker appeared.

Two slender women with different hair colors, delicate features, and long pointed ears suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

One of them held a bow and arrow, and the other held a metal staff, with cold eyes, always staring at Reiner fiercely.

To be precise, they are not humans, but some kind of elves...

Don’t be fooled by their beautiful and young looks, their actual age may be over four digits.

Martina held her sword in one hand, blocking Reiner's way and speaking in a low voice, "Dear, these long-eared people are not to be trifled with. They are extremely powerful. Whether they are demihumans or monsters, they will avoid them. Let's be a little careful."

Even she admits that he is not someone to be trifled with, so he might really be someone to be trifled with.

"Have you dealt with them before?"
