Holy Mania Empire, Maple Leaf Territory on the southwest border.

As the frontier of the empire, from the map, the Maple Leaf Territory is like a protruding sharp knife, crossing the Vimur River and diagonally inserted into the Dark Mountains, the Elf Forest and the Kingdom of Iris. junction.

In fact, as early as thousands of years ago, this place did belong to the original Elf Forest. There are still many elven ruins on the territory, and it has become a good place for some nobles and tourists to visit...

Maple leaf collar southwest, Ximu Town.

The sky in winter is extremely blue, and the biting cold wind makes the windmill on the frozen town's entrance creak. There is still a thick layer of snow on the houses made of bricks and wood.

The ancient alleys are filled with smoke, the aroma of bread and barbecue comes out, and the sounds of children playing and playing can be heard from time to time.

At the entrance of the town, the guard post is on duty.

The bonfire danced amidst the crackling sound of dry wood. Two guards in leather armor sat around the fire. One was fat and the other was thin. They were drunkenly drinking turbid ale and roasting a fish that had just been cooked. A fat rabbit caught in the wild, so happy.

"Hiccup...are you okay?"

The short, fat guard burped.

He looked longingly at the browned rabbit meat dripping with oil and exuding an alluring aroma, and then he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked expectantly.

"Don't worry, bake it again! It will taste better!"

The lanky guard who presided over the roast rabbit rolled his eyes, took out a small bag and opened it carefully, revealing some finely chopped salt.

I saw him painfully take out some and sprinkle it carefully:

"Put some salt to make it taste better."

"Hiccup——"

The short, fat guard looked at the golden and oily rabbit meat, his eyes widening.

While the two were having a barbecue, suddenly, the copper bell hanging on the side of the post made a series of crisp sounds.

The tall and thin guard of the barbecue looked back, and then his eyes became solemn:

"Huh? The trap has been triggered!"

The pudgy guard cheered up:

"Huh? Caught another beast?"

He swallowed subconsciously.

"I don't know, it might be Warcraft. There have been a lot of Warcraft running out from the direction of the Elf Forest recently. There might be big ones. We are not professionals, so we have to be careful..."

The thin guard shook his head, then mouthed:

"Let's go, take this guy with you and let's go see it together."

"That...rabbit meat."

"Leave it here for now, I'll be back soon."

"Um...okay."

The two put on their helmets, picked up their weapons, and then walked out of the post.

They walked along a secret rope to the outside of the town...

The wilderness is covered with thick white snow.

The trap the two set to capture prey was hidden in the snow.

For some reason, there are many more beasts operating outside the town this winter than in previous years, and there are also many magical beasts that have only been heard of in the Elf Forest.

Earlier, Ximu Town was even hit by a tide of beasts.

So, considering safety, the town set up a special observation post.

On the one hand, traps are for warning, but on the other hand, they are also tools for hunting.

The biting cold wind blew away the drunkenness of the two people. They clenched the weapons in their hands, held their breath, and cautiously moved towards the trap...

And soon, they saw a figure caught in a beast trap.

It's just that this is not a beast, but a human being.

It was a human male who looked to be in his fifties, with a thin build and messy hair. He was holding his leg caught in a beast trap and wailing.

He was dirty and extremely embarrassed. He was shivering from the cold. His clothes were in tatters and had a trace of blood. However, he could vaguely tell that he was wearing a butler's uniform, and he was still wearing only a butler's uniform. Good materials that only big men can afford...

Human? !

The two guards opened their mouths.

And when they saw each other's faces clearly...

"Mr. Anders?! Why is it you?! You escaped from the black dragon?!"

The thin guard looked surprised.

"Mr. Anders? What's wrong with you? Why have you lost so much weight?!"

The fat guard said in surprise.

Anders:......

"Don't mention it! Quick! Help me get this animal trap out of the way. Some **** set up a trap at the entrance of the village! Damn it! Didn't you know it would accidentally hurt someone?!"

Anders cursed, but...a little weak.

It's winter, and it's the border. Apart from those smugglers, how can anyone come from outside the town?

The two of them muttered in their hearts.

However, they moved quickly and quickly helped Anders escape from the animal trap...

The other party is the Lord's butler, a high-ranking figure!

Out of the animal trap, Anders limped to his feet, and at this time, his stomach made a loud rumble.

"Gulu~"

Anders' old, stained face blushed slightly.

He coughed a few times and asked:

"Is there anything to eat?"

The two guards looked at each other and were about to answer, but Anders sniffed and his eyes lit up:

"What does it smell like? It smells so good."

Guard:......

……

The outpost in Ximu Town.

Anders sat in front of the campfire, devouring the golden and fragrant rabbit meat, his mouth full and his hands full of grease.

Seeing him look like he hadn't eaten for a month, the two guards looked at each other and were speechless.

The thin man was fine, but the fat man's eyes widened as he looked at the rabbit meat that Anders was chewing less and less.

In the end, the thin man pulled his sleeves, and he withdrew his gaze.

"Ahem..."

It seems that he ate too fast, and Anders suddenly choked. The thin guard saw it and handed him the fat guard's wine bag filled with ale:

"Mr. Anders, please eat slowly and drink a little wine."

He said.

Fat Guard:...

Anders also refused.

He grabbed it and took a big gulp.

But soon, his expression changed, and he spat out all the wine he drank:

"Is this ale? How much water was mixed with it?! It tastes terrible!"

The thin guard was fine, but the fat guard was unhappy.

He pouted and muttered:

"Ale is so expensive...how many times can I drink it without water..."

"Huh?!"

Anders' expression instantly turned evil.

The thin guard was startled.

He quickly pulled the fat guard behind him and sneered at Anders:

"Ahem...Mr. Anders, you also know that in our border town, our hands are tight, so it would be nice to have some wine to drink. Please be patient."

After listening to his words, Anders' expression softened a lot.

He took another bite of rabbit meat, returned to his original aloof posture, and praised:

"The rabbit is roasted well."

"Thank you for your compliment."

The thin guard replied.

However, even if he was deliberately making a condescending gesture, Anders looked really embarrassed now, and he looked a bit funny.

Looking at the other party's embarrassed appearance, the two guards also felt a hint of joy in their hearts.

You know, a few months ago, this housekeeper came to the town as a tax collector to collect taxes.

Like the nobles in the city, he was very greedy, which made the townspeople unhappy.

When this guy was kidnapped by the black dragon, many people applauded him.

Of course, they dare not say these words.

And... many residents of the town were also captured together with Anders.

Thinking of this, the thin man couldn't help but ask:

"Mr. Anders, where is that... other person?"

"Who else?"

Anders was slightly stunned.

"They are...those people who were captured by the black dragon with you."

"They..."

Anders' eyes flickered slightly, and then he sighed:

"Don't mention it."

"Hey... we escaped the control of the black dragon. When we came back, we encountered a tide of beasts and were all separated."

"I ran in the wrong direction when I was escaping, and I didn't know the way. I finally made it back today... Why, didn't the others come back?"

The two guards looked at each other and their expressions became serious.

The others... did not come back.

However, when Anders mentioned the beast tide, they knew something was wrong.

In recent months, the surrounding magical beasts are ready to move. If we really encounter a tide of beasts, it will be really...dangerous.

You know, a few months ago, the monsters in the Elf Forest encountered something unknown, and suddenly rushed out like crazy, causing considerable losses to Ximu Town.

But that time, fortunately, the level of the attacking monsters was all low, and there were no casualties.

But in winter, if there really is a beast tide, all the powerful monsters will appear!

Thinking of this, the two guards felt sad.

If we really encounter a tide of beasts... we may have to shed a layer of our skin even if we don't die.

Anders is back, but the others haven't come back yet. I'm afraid... they will never come back.

"The Lord of Eternity is above..."

The fat guard drew a sun symbol on his chest and looked a little depressed.

Among those people are his friends who he grew up playing with.

"The Lord of Eternity is above..."

The thin guard also sighed and prayed silently.

For a while, the small outpost fell into silence.

Anders' eyes flashed and he breathed a sigh of relief.

He swallowed and continued eating the rabbit meat.

The two guards were staring at the bonfire in a daze.

At this moment, the warning bell rang again...

Well, today is not short. Should I get a monthly pass?
