The empty road became narrower and narrower as they moved forward, and the trees on the roadside became denser and denser, startling a few birds from time to time. They seemed to be getting closer and closer to their destination.

-After walking for a while, the sun was already high in the sky. Although there was plenty of light, there was no warmth at all. Only gusts of cold wind blew on everyone.

"stop!"

Natalia looked at the fork in the road and raised her hand to call a halt.

“Stop!”

Honasan beside him turned around and repeated it again.

The team slowly stopped, and Livia perked up a little. After traveling for half the morning, he felt a little bored.

"It should be noon. Let's dismount and set up camp by the roadside to rest."

Looking at the sky, Natalia thought for a moment and then spoke to the people behind her.

No one had any objection to this. After all, except Livia, they were all ordinary people who needed to rest and eat. Honasan and several guards behind him rode their horses to an open space in the woods, dismounted and made basic preparations for setting up camp.

Everyone else followed a step slower and dismounted. Livia watched the guards take out tools from the cloth bag on the carriage and began to carry out basic camp construction. He glanced around and saw that no one else offered to help, so he found a tree to sit down against.

Caius walked slowly to his side, leaned his shoulder against the tree, and looked at the camp that was beginning to take shape in front of him. "What's going on?"

Livia clearly felt that he seemed to want to ask her something, so she asked before him.

"Uh..." Caius was stunned for a moment when he asked the question first, and it was a bit difficult to ask for a moment.

"You want to ask Natalia about what happened in the hall earlier, right?"

Livia understood what he wanted to ask. It was nothing more than that the previous conversation between Natalia and herself made him a little confused about his identity.

"Um."

Caius responded muffledly and nodded slightly.

“…

I am a bit famous in my place, and I was a little surprised that Viscount Natalia recognized me."

Livia hesitated and said with a faint smile on her face.

As for the identity of the extraordinary person, it is better to hide it for now. After all, it would be too conspicuous to tell ordinary people about his identity. He didn't know about Kovager, and because Kovager was already in chaos at that time, the people he had met were basically extraordinary people or people who knew about extraordinary people. It would be better not to say it in other places if possible. Besides, the leader of the guards named Honasan never revealed his extraordinary identity in their eyes.

Although he was somewhat skeptical of what he said, since he had already said so, he would just say what he wanted to say. He probably wouldn't get any results if he continued to ask, so Caius remained silent with doubt in his eyes.

A moment later, Honasan and his guards had built a simple camp, lit a bonfire, and started to cook soup in an iron pot propped up by thick branches. The trio also came over and took out some dried fruits from the backpacks on their backs to share with the guards around them, apparently intending to build good relationships and have lunch with the guards.

Paros stayed in the carriage, doing something unknown and didn't come out. The old hunter leaned against a tree and ate some dry biscuits, occasionally glancing around to see where the noise was coming from. Although two guards had been arranged to patrol the area, he still looked uneasy and was on guard himself.

Caius glanced at him and asked, "Aren't you going to eat something?"

"No, I had a full breakfast."

Livia smiled and replied that he was indeed not hungry and had no appetite.

Seeing that he had no intention of eating, Caius nodded and walked towards the campfire alone. He planned to go with the guards. He did not bring any food or water, but just a small bag hanging on his shoulder with some special things in it.

Watching them start cooking, Livia shifted her gaze to the other side, at the lady sitting on a big rock and reading a parchment book.

As if she had noticed his gaze, the lady turned around and looked at him with a questioning look in her eyes, as if asking him if there was anything wrong.

Livia raised the corners of her mouth slightly, shook her head and looked up at the sky. Looking at the larks flying in the sky and chirping with clear and rhythmic sounds, her thoughts began to wander.

He thought of his past life, then of Deron and others in Kovag, and finally he sighed helplessly. Even he himself was not sure what he was sighing about. Suddenly his mood became heavy and he sighed as if he was inspired.

Natalia looked at the black-haired young man who was leaning against a tree, looking up and sighing with some confusion. She didn't know what was going on with him. He suddenly looked at her, then shook his head and sighed.

"Lady Natalia, please eat."

At this time, Honasan came over with a small and exquisite tray in one hand and interrupted her.

"Um."

He nodded at him and took the tray handed to him. The food on it was obviously better than what the guards and the trio had in front of the campfire. It was even carefully arranged and looked more stylish.

Taking one last glance at the black-haired young man, and seeing that he was still staring at the sky in confusion, Natalia ignored him and began to eat the snacks and food on the tray.

Soon, noon passed. Honasan and his guards evacuated the camp and put out the fire. They started on the road again and walked into a narrow road that looked deserted at a fork in the road. The carriage could not move fast because of the narrow and uneven road, so they had to slow down again.

According to Caius, if they had not brought a carriage and had galloped all the way, they would have arrived by now. However, the distance was not far now, and the road would soon come to an end. This path was actually opened and maintained by people who had the same intention as Viscount Natalia in previous years, but it only reached the destination, the Gray Demon Forest. After all, opening a road before the Gray Demon Forest...

It is too dangerous and basically impossible to maintain.

As everyone was driving, a man suddenly emerged from the carriage, jumped up from the carriage and landed on the road. "It's really slow! This speed is not as good as me walking!"

Paros came out of the carriage and said with some dissatisfaction, his eyes kept looking around.

"Oh, it's because you smell so much blood that you can't even ride a horse."

Caius seized this opportunity and sarcastically said to him with a playful look on his face.

"snort!

That's better than some knight who stole a delivery horse from somewhere and ran away."

Paros snorted coldly and looked at him with a meaningful retort.

"you!"

Undoubtedly, these words directly hit Caius's pain point, and his face and neck instantly turned red. Although his character was a little more slippery than that of ordinary knights, he was a knight after all, and he could not remain calm at such words that directly affected his knightly dignity.

“That’s enough!

Do you want to make trouble here? "

Hearing their words, Honasan in front stopped his horse, turned around and shouted sternly, and the guards around them also looked at them unfriendly.

"snort!"

Paros and Caius snorted heavily at the same time, then one drove his horse to the front, while the other slowed down and followed behind the carriage.

Livia shook his head helplessly upon seeing this. The two men would have to fight to the death sooner or later at the end of this mission. There might be some secret tricks during the mission. He did not think highly of Caius. After all, as a knight, where was his bottom line? How could he compete with a notorious bounty hunter?
