Lucille led everyone into the depths of the dense forest...
Everyone looked alert except Lucille.
She walked alone in front, observing the situation around her silently, as if everything about other people except those werewolves had nothing to do with her.
Even the slightest movement scared the people traveling with her and made them all huddle together in the city, but Lucille still walked away alone.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Igonia was curious, so she followed the other person and asked.
"Scared? What do you think I should be afraid of?"
"That's not what I meant." When he said it, he realized that the way he asked the question was wrong. The person in front of him was Sean's mentor, the most powerful witch in the world.
There is no such thing as fear.
"I mean, you're not nervous at all, and you don't seem worried about the werewolf appearing!"
"I'm not worried." Lucille replied.
Igonia is curious...
In fact, he has always been very curious about Sean's powerful mentor. He was curious why she suddenly came to Sean's town and accepted him as an apprentice, and where her incredibly powerful abilities came from.
It feels like a mysterious character.
"Very strange?" Lucille looked at Igonia with a look that was almost like she was saying it was really strange.
"Um."
"In fact, after you have seen more terrifying things in this world, you won't care about these little beasts at all. Do whatever you want."
This statement may sound a bit arrogant, but considering the other party's strength, it doesn't seem out of place...
If Lucille doesn't dare to be arrogant, who else in this world would dare to be so!
"Just take good care of those students. Otherwise, if Sean is gone, the students will probably quarrel with me again." Lucille said to Igonia with a smile.
For a moment, there seemed to be a very strange feeling in Ignia's heart.
But this doesn’t feel real!
It seemed as if Sean, the super mentor, had a very good relationship with him. After all, he was also from an orthodox wizard family. When he saw the mentor, he didn't dare to make a sound. Only Sean dared to yell at Lucille directly.
Perhaps it was because he was a prince with a higher status.
This is the only way I can comfort myself!
The deeper the team went into the woods, the less light and shadow there was.
You are right, werewolves seem to be afraid of light... There is no light even where they live, and there is such a large dark corner in the forest.
"etc."
Lucille suddenly looked around and raised her hand to ask everyone to stop.
"What's wrong?"
"Something's nearby."
The entire Knights instantly became alert...
Everyone looked around to see the situation around them, but there was nothing special here except that it was a little dark. It was still a deep forest and it was a little dark.
"There's no one around. Look around to see if there are any footprints."
Ignia said to several students.
Everyone came here following footprints, but the footprints on the ground have become increasingly blurred since a while ago, which may be related to the dense forest.
Without footprints on the road, we naturally couldn't see clearly. Even though we were all walking on the forest ground that looked like leaves, how could we see clearly what it looked like?
"No... mentor, headmaster."
"Neither here."
The four of them went to different places to look but found no footprints, but they did find some bent branches and leaves.
It looks like a place where people have walked, but I'm not sure if it was left behind by other ordinary wild animals.
"They are right here..."
Lucille still insisted on her point of view.
No one dared to object, they just watched her walk alone towards the center of the crowd.
Then look up at the dense branches in the sky and the unusual grass under your feet.
Squat down.
"Did you find out anything?" Ignia also squatted down with Lucille, as if she could see that the other party knew something.
"Have you noticed? If there is no sunlight here, why is the grass growing so lush? And if it is dark all year round, this place should be very humid, but if you observe all the leaves around, they are all normal." Lucille said.
After she said that, other people also began to feel that something was wrong.
If this is deep in the jungle, it shouldn't be like this.
"Is it magic?" Ignia said.
I saw Lucille waving her hand and pointing at the sky, and the leaves in the sky seemed to be opened up in an instant...or it could be said that the leaves in the sky were just a shadow, and a shadow that could block the light.
Lucille's finger not only penetrated the leaves but also opened up the surrounding area.
Suddenly, light shines in...
It turns out that this is a magic trick.
"Huh, these people are really interesting. Trying to dodge using this method? Low-level!"
Everyone only heard Lucille sneer faintly, and then snapped her fingers.
The surrounding environment was instantly like a calm surface of water, and even the space seemed to be cleansed...
What is even more surprising is that the depths of the dense forest are not what everyone sees. The real road is actually hidden right in front of us, but we just didn’t see it.
At this moment, what appeared in front of everyone was a straight road, and there was an ancient castle full of thorns in the road.
this……
“There actually is such a place.”
Everyone looked on in disbelief.
"If there is a village from that time in the wilderness, then there must be an ancient castle here. Maybe it was the residence of a lord back then. There's nothing strange about it. But since there is magic hiding the surroundings, there must be a secret here." Igonia said.
Last night, his five-man team was able to see some remaining houses in the wilderness, so it wouldn't be strange to see an ancient castle appear now.
At most, it proves that there was indeed a territory here in the past.
Everyone took up arms.
Now that we have discovered the location, the target should be nearby or inside the castle!
Even if everything around is safe and sound, you can still smell the vague scent of werewolf in the air, which is actually the unique smell of sweat of wild beasts.
They're in there, for sure!
Everyone now believes that the castle is the gathering place of werewolves!
And after taking only a few steps, Lucille stopped again.
"They've spotted us."
"ah?"
Before everyone could react, they heard a burst of wolf howling coming from above the castle. Then, one werewolf after another stood up, as if they had been lying there before and were suddenly woken up. They looked down from above one by one.
And there was hostility and aggression in their eyes.
"Line up!"
The Knights are still the Knights after all. When faced with danger, they naturally would not panic like those mercenaries, but immediately organized a defensive formation.
