Chapter 57 The Knight and the Rose

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

More than forty minutes later, Herage arrived at the exit, meeting no one else along the way.

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

Herage mounted his horse and started running wildly, preparing to drive all the way back to Moonglade.

"Judging from the words of those three people, Malcolm should have discovered that Rune died in the Moonlight Forest, and put the blame on the Moonlight Forest, and even offered a reward..."

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

Herage kicked the horse in the belly, and the horse ran faster.

More than an hour later, Herage felt a little relieved when he saw that there were no pursuers behind him.

"Huh?" The sound of swords clashing suddenly came from the front, as well as the sounds of crying and killing.

When Herage approached on horseback, he discovered that a group of bandits were besieging a convoy.

There were about thirty bandits, as well as crossbowmen.

There were only a dozen people in the convoy, and they were struggling to support themselves with carriages as defenses. There were many corpses lying around.

"Brothers, work harder, they can't hold it anymore. These are nobles, there must be something good!" The leader of the robbers is a man with a long scar across his face, standing on the outside directing the attack.

The strongest person in the convoy was a knight-level man in his forties or fifties. He was guarding the opening in the middle of the carriage alone, holding a giant shield to block the attacks of these bandits.

Herage just glanced at it and continued on his way. He didn't want to cause trouble.

He galloped past on horseback, and the scarred man not far away noticed him, and immediately saw the two rings on Herage's hand, and his eyes lit up: "Stop him! This man has something good in him! "

Seven or eight arrows moved in response, heading straight for Herage's upper body, as if they wanted to shoot him down.

Herage received Deep Blue's warning in advance and ducked down to avoid these arrows.

"This man has some skills, shoot his horse!" the bandit leader continued to direct.

Several arrows were quickly inserted into the horse's butt and belly, and the horse whined and fell to the ground.

Herage rolled and fell 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 separate and rush towards Herage.

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

"Ice shield!"

"Mana Shield!"

"Dark energy shield!"

The arrows hit the thick shield and bounced to the ground. These arrows could not cause any harm to Herague at all.

The bandit leader's smile froze on his face. When he saw these strange shields on Herage's body, he felt a bad feeling in his heart.

Keng!

Herage pulled out his sharp sword and rushed towards the bandits.

Arrows were still being shot in a steady stream, and without exception, they were all bounced away.

Herage's physical fitness was already at the level of a knight. He approached these bandits in a few steps, swung his sword over a head and flew high into the air.

The swords and arrows of these bandits had no effect on Herague, and they could not even break through the most basic defense.

In the blink of an eye, Herage killed one person in one step. All eight bandits who rushed over fell to the ground, and their blood flowed all over the ground.

"Strange...monster!" The bandits were frightened when they saw this scene. They had never seen the shield on Herague, and it was something they could not understand.

The group of robbers began to run away, and even the convoy next to them couldn't care less.

The bandit leader ran the fastest. He ran away alone without saying a word, got on a horse and started running wildly.

Herage's eyes were locked on him, and a corrosion arrow in his hand quickly took shape and headed straight for the bandit leader.

call out!

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

A terrifying blood hole appeared on the bandit leader's neck, and the edges of the hole were black with corrosive energy.

This group of robbers completely lost their backbone and began to flee separately.

Herage didn't bother to chase them. He wasted his time on the road by chasing these people.

He looked back at the horse lying on the ground without much energy, and then walked towards the convoy.

"Thank you, Lord Mystic, for coming to the rescue! The Allison family will always remember your kindness!" The middle-aged knight immediately knelt down on one knee to express his gratitude when he saw Herague approaching.

"Hello, my name is Yuffie Allison." A richly dressed aristocratic girl stepped out of the carriage behind, with a very delicate face and white stockings wrapped around her calves.

Herage glanced at her lightly without saying a word, then turned to the middle-aged knight and asked: "Can you buy a horse?"

"Buy... buy a horse?" The middle-aged knight didn't respond, and then said: "Of course, you don't need to buy it, you can just ride on whichever horse you like."

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

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

Knight Shani sighed helplessly: "Miss Yuffie, that gentleman just now is not a knight, but a legendary wizard. Don't provoke him."

"But this is what is written in knight novels. The knight will always appear when the princess is in danger, rescue the princess and then live a happy life." Yuffie also held a book called "The Knight and the Rose" in her hand. novel.

Shanni knew that his young lady was recently addicted to chivalry novels, so he said: "Miss Yuffie, let's get in the car first and go home quickly before these robbers are scared off."

"These two gold coins must be put away properly." Shanni carefully picked up the two gold coins dropped by Herague, wiped the dust on them and put them in his arms.

To Herage, this was just a small incident on the way. What annoyed him was that the damn bandits had delayed his journey.

Herage didn't stop at anything along the way. He would only find a place to camp and rest for a while at night, and let the horses eat grass and drink water to rest.

Three days later, Herage 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 inn.

"There was still no one stationed when I left." Herage was a little surprised.

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

Herage handed over the rune stones honestly. The fat wizard checked it and found no problems before returning the rune stones to Herage.

He then took out something that looked like a piece of bamboo and said, "This is the bamboo piece of the Faceless Man. Take it and suck it with your mouth."

Herage did as he was told. After taking a breath, white smoke came out of his ears, nose, and mouth. The white smoke dissipated after a while.
