Chapter 65 On the road

"Thank you Mr. Herrag!" Josh was overjoyed.

"I just collect money to do things. Escort for a short distance is 10,000 gold coins. How can you find such a good thing? I just hope you don't break your promise, otherwise the consequences will be serious." Herage waved his hand.

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

After Herage had eaten and drank enough, he got into his tent and went to sleep.

Kieran made Josh a bowl out of leaves and then served Josh a bowl of soup from the pot.

This was specially left by Herage in exchange for cleaning the pot for him, which he was too lazy to do.

Josh didn't mind drinking the pot of soup left by Herage. After taking a sip, he handed over the bowl made of leaves: "Uncle Kieran, you drink too."

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

Kieran hesitated but did not refuse. He had not eaten for two days and was indeed very hungry. Considering that he would have to fight later, he ate anyway.

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

He did not sleep either, but lay meditating. Now that I don't have the assistance of meteorite grass, I have to work harder to practice meditation.

Early the next morning, the rain stopped, but the fog became thicker.

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

Herage did not hide the movement of getting up. Kieran slowly opened his eyes and immediately checked Josh's condition. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he felt relieved.

Herage waved his hand, and the tents, tarpaulins and other things on the ground were stored in the space ring.

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

"Okay!" Kieran and Josh stood up obediently and followed behind Herage.

Herage took out a map and checked the direction before starting.

"Tell me about your situation." Herage said casually as he walked in front. He had to find out what kind of trouble these two people were in and what the situation was, so that he could be prepared.

"I am the second son of Count Remy in the Tasoni territory. A few days ago, Uncle Kieran and I went to the countryside to check on the growth of crops. Everything was going well, but I didn't expect that we were attacked by a group of people on the way back. Those people I was obviously prepared, and I actually had a crossbow! Uncle Kieran protected me and killed me, but all the other guards were dead."

Josh's tone was a little sad, and he seemed to be very angry about the deaths of those guards.

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

Josh took a deep breath: "Who else could it be? It must be Lu Qi, my brother. He is afraid that I will fight for his inheritance rights, and he has had many conflicts with me over the years. Now that my father's health is getting worse day by day, he is even more anxious. ”

"Oh." Herage nodded expressionlessly. There was nothing new under the sun, it was just this old drama of fighting for power.

"Are there any pursuers behind? This is not considered the outskirts of the forest." Herage continued to ask.

From this location it would take at least a day of walking to get out of the forest.

Kieran replied: "There is someone from the Thieves Guild, a knight-level assassin. I am not sure that I can protect Master Josh from his men, so I can only run away."

"Understood, I have seen him, and he is looking at us." Herage glanced to the southeast and said.

"What?" Kieran immediately became nervous.

Even he couldn't say that he could 100% defend against the assassination of a great knight-level assassin, let alone Master Josh, who was not even as strong as a knight-level assassin.

"What are you afraid of? Let's go, we still have to hurry." Herag looked unconcerned and said somewhat speechlessly as he saw the two of them standing there nervously looking around.

"Oh, okay." Kieran also realized that there was a powerful wizard here, so he didn't need to worry too much.

He felt the familiar yet mysterious aura the first time he saw Herague. Although the great knight had no magic power, he had a certain ability to perceive magic power.

He was very familiar with the aura on Herag's body. All the powerful wizards he had encountered had such aura.

In the forest far away, a bald man was shocked by Herague's gaze.

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

He has always been very confident in his concealment skills, and even his opponents who are also great knights find it difficult to see through his concealment skills.

But now, more than two hundred meters away, the young man could see his position at a glance.

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

The most important thing is that he doesn't dare to take action.

From Herage's casual glance, he felt the fear coming from deep inside.

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

As an outstanding thief, Robert has always trusted his instincts.

"I can't do this job anymore. It's a pity that there are so many gold coins." Robert sighed, with a look of pain on his face.

When he thought about so many gold coins being taken away from him, his heart ached. But the pain was so painful that Robert made up his mind and decided to give up the mission, at least until the young man and Josh's master and servant were separated before he could take action.

He has been around for so many years, relying on his keen intuition and enough caution, and has a very keen sense of death.

"Give up?" From Deep Blue's detection, Herague seemed to have left, and seemed to have no intention of continuing to track them.

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

"It saved me a little trouble." Herage didn't care and continued walking forward.

Now his physical fitness alone is comparable to that of a powerful knight, not to mention the various spells to assist him.

It is difficult for these ordinary knights and great knights to pose any threat to him.

Herague did not mention that the assassin had left, so Kieran was highly focused along the way, always paying attention to his surroundings.

Herage didn't bother to remind him that there just happened to be a lot of people on guard duty, so why not do it.

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

"Mr. Herage, let's rest in the forest tonight, the plains are too wide." Kieran suggested.

Herage nodded and agreed to his proposal. Kieran's meaning was obvious. If there was an enemy ambush, going down would be a target with no place to turn.

The terrain in the forest is complex, and you can maneuver around even if there are enemies ambushing you.

For a powerful knight-level man, it would not be a problem for him to deal with dozens of people by himself in the forest at night, let alone with Herrag around.
