Chapter 10

He then felt at ease and gestured to Camila, prompting him to quicken his pace and run into the forest.

Certainly, this is not an official boundary marker; the official boundary markers are tall and large. When Link used to carry water, he had to pass under the boundary marker each time. This small and low boundary marker was privately erected by the soldiers stationed on both sides.

As Link grasped the stone, he could almost hear the pounding of his own heart.

However, Link did not display any signs of disappointment. He brushed away a layer of silt that had settled on the stone, and then gently and slowly ran his fingers over the flat surface of the stone.

"Hehe," Link chuckled, scratching his head. "Yesterday, I saw traces of a mountain beast in the forest and thought about hunting one to improve our meals, so you must keep your voice down and not let Mentor Galvin know."

Link the knight is growing up quickly

The dense shadows of the trees concealed his figure; he believed that at such a distance, even the most extraordinary Master Calvin would certainly not be able to detect him

Although he is extremely eager to know what is written beneath that stone, his reason tells him that it is time to leave without fail

This is what Little Old Dad teaches

Mentor Calvin is truly impressive, even going so far as to launch an attack on the territory of the Sakara Empire, indeed, very formidable

There are words on the stone? ! '' Link's heart suddenly began to race uncontrollably: `` Mentor Galvin is carrying out a secret mission? ! ''

Link lightened his footsteps and arrived at the door of the cabin, where he indeed heard the familiar snoring of Mentor Galvin, just as before

In the middle of the night, I got up and walked such a long distance, only to find a fixed place to relieve myself, and I did so regardless of the wind and rain

The last time he followed Mentor Calvin, he was so nervous that he completely overlooked this small object. This time, upon seeing it inadvertently, he couldn't help but almost burst into laughter.

Link strolled out as usual, took the potion from Camilla's hand, and applied it to the areas where he had been struck. However, Camilla noticed that his face did not bear the same frown as before; instead, it faintly revealed a sense of excitement.

It must be said that Mentor Calvin's vigilance is indeed very high

From a young age, Link harbored an endless interest and desire for the various mysteries surrounding the knightly life. However, he had never imagined that on this very night, he would find himself so close to such a glaringly obvious and mysterious event before his eyes.

What is actually written on that stone

Link held his breath even more, focusing intently on it

Is this ...? It seems that this is within the territory of the Saqqara Empire

What is actually written under that stone

However, according to Master Calvin, this is because there are many delicious beasts in the forest, so the soldiers on both sides established this boundary to prevent each other from hunting beyond their limits. This reason is indeed shameful, which is why the boundary marker is made small and not displayed prominently

This is also one of the tenets of being a knight; when faced with unknown dangers or mysteries, the first thing one should do is to remain calm.

Now, following a distance behind Mentor Calvin, Link couldn't help but smile slightly at the thought of that time, even though he dared not laugh out loud.

Link also slowed his pace, tiptoeing to the back of a large tree, peeking out with just one eye.

Link shook his head and sighed deeply: "If he finds out, do you think you'll have anything left to eat? Do you remember how big the mountain boar we hunted last time was? In the end, you only got a tail!"

Distribution Map of Military Forces at Sunset Garrison Station

The last time he crouched down near Mentor Calvin, he was frightened away because he almost got discovered, and at that time he was farther away than he is now, so he couldn't see as clearly as today. Therefore, it wasn't until today that he realized Mentor Calvin's presence here did not seem to be as perverse as he had imagined, because he discovered that Mentor Calvin hadn't even taken off his pants at all

It is important to note that Link has been rolling around in the Misty Night Forest with his little father since childhood. He is quite adept at concealing his presence among the trees. However, during his last midnight following of Mentor Galvin, he couldn't help but stifle a laugh when he saw Mentor Galvin crouching down, causing his body to tremble slightly, even though he did not make a sound. He nearly got discovered, which frightened him so much that he dared not stay a moment longer. Taking advantage of the moment when Mentor Galvin crouched down again, he hurriedly fled from a distance.

Having failed to capture the mountain beast, Camila's disappointed expression surely cannot be hidden from Mentor Galvin. Only with these two rabbits is there a possibility to save Ya

What does this mean? ! '' Link opened his eyes and recited the words he had just read again: `` The distribution of the falling edge army is swift? ''

Oh my God

Under Link's full-speed dash, it took only a brief moment, comparable to a picture book, to reach the place from yesterday

He even specifically moved to the front of Link and Camila's bed. After hearing Camila's usual thunderous snoring and seeing Link feigning a deep sleep, he finally returned to his own bed with satisfaction, and soon after, faint snoring could be heard.

In the past, he had considered ambushing Mentor Calvin when he was distracted, but unfortunately, Mentor Calvin always seemed to be prepared in advance. On one occasion, he almost fell into a pit.

The mountains here are high and the forests dense, and being so far from the military camp and even the small cabin, one could truly shout at the top of their lungs and no one would hear it

The roasted rabbit of the Link Knight was once a specialty that received endless praise from the old man back in the day

Perhaps it was due to the frequent rolling around in the Misty Night Forest with his little father since childhood that he felt a natural affinity for the forest. Now, as he ran faster and faster, he soon emerged from the woods. After tidying up any traces he might have left on himself, he stealthily approached the front of Mentor Galvin's small cabin.

"You fool!" Link tapped his head. "What if Mentor Galvin wakes up and finds no one here?"

It is precisely for this reason that he did not rush to inform Camila about this matter today, but instead thought it would be better to investigate once more.

If he had not witnessed the actions of Mentor Calvin with his own eyes, Link would not have dared to believe such things even if anyone else had told him about it

According to the officially circulated version within the military camp, it was established to delineate a boundary for the stationed troops on both sides. Otherwise, due to the undulating terrain of the mountains, it would be uncertain which side this forest actually belonged to. If everyone were patrolling, it would not be very enjoyable. Moreover, two border garrisons certainly cannot determine the ownership of the empire's territory, thus this boundary marker was placed in an inconspicuous location

Link chuckled silently, fixating on the elusive figure of Mentor Galvin ahead of him, mimicking his movements as he swiftly darted through the shadows of the trees.

He took a deep breath, calming the excitement within him, and then slowly raised the stone to his eyes

One, two, three, four, five! Camila, who had long been waiting there, shook her head: "With a new bat, it turns out I didn't dodge even once!"

Link unexpectedly discovered that Mentor Galvin had sneaked out in the middle of the night, and had even circled around most of the mountain peak, all just to squat in a certain spot deep within the dense forest and engage in a grand act

Before him, his Calvinist mentor, using the dim moonlight, seemed to be in a daze for a moment after reading the inscription on the stone. Only then did he extend his palm to wipe the stone gently, and afterward, he carefully placed the stone back in its original position

He was panting, yet he still mimicked the manner of Mentor Calvin from last night, looking around cautiously. Only then did he slowly crouch down beneath the large tree, extending his hand to feel around.

He closely followed behind Mentor Calvin, and after walking a considerable distance, he noticed that Mentor Calvin's pace gradually slowed down.

Professor Calvin was groping on the ground, seemingly searching for something. After a short while, Link surprisingly saw Professor Calvin's hand turn over a stone, examining something in the moonlight

Link watched as Mentor Galvin paused ahead, then turned to the right front. He quickly followed suit, but as he turned, his eyes caught sight of a short stone tablet at the lower right, causing him to momentarily freeze.

Poor Link is suffering from insomnia again

Imagine Calvin, the mentor, traveling long distances to this deep mountain forest in the dead of night, enjoying the refreshing breeze among the trees, feeling utterly at ease as he expands his thoughts. Suddenly, a stick comes crashing down on him from behind. Wow, just thinking about it feels exhilarating!

Hmm, yes, no need to say!" Camila nodded decisively this time

To write something on such a hard surface as stone, regardless of the tool used, one must always apply some force

If it were the young Link from before the Sunset Mountains, he would have likely been unable to contain his curiosity and would have recklessly rushed over to see what was going on after Master Galvin left

After all, he always felt that his skills in striking with a blunt weapon had made significant progress, especially under the influence of imitating the bizarre movements of Mentor Galvin. When he usually played with Camila or occasionally with some other knight apprentices, even in face-to-face encounters with blunt weapons, apart from Camila managing to evade once or twice, no one had ever been able to escape from him.

Link suddenly realized that although this Calvin mentor seemed to never be serious, what he said was often quite useful

"You don't seem to be in much pain, could it be that..." Kamila asked curiously

Indeed, Mentor Calvin cautiously looked around and even strained his ears to listen for a while. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he slowly crouched down beneath a large tree

Link has always stubbornly believed that their actions of using blunt instruments during ordinary days have never been successful, and that is because Mentor Calvin had long been on guard.

The last time, when he almost got discovered by Mentor Calvin, might have already aroused the old fox's suspicion. This time, he intended to observe carefully, so he didn't even bring a big stick. After all, if this old fox was already prepared, then his attack would likely turn into a futile effort.

In a piece of advice given by Mentor Calvin, it is stated that when a knight realizes that he cannot grasp the entire situation with his actions, he must never allow his momentary impulse to lead to even more unpredictable changes in the situation

Link, behind the large tree, slowly moved backward step by step, taking advantage of the cover provided by the shadows.

This question followed him until the morning of the next day

As expected, no inscriptions could be discerned on the stone; they must have been erased by Master Calvin

However, Link is not considering these matters at the moment; his eyes are solely focused on the mentor Galvin ahead, while he remains attentive to his surroundings, constantly concealing his own figure.

The red sun rises high

Thus, Link saw a perfect opportunity to deliver a surprise attack

Link has just realized that he seems to remember very well the precepts mentioned by Mentor Galvin, and it appears that he is also making an effort to practice them.

In fact, Link did not realize that after more than two years of daily evading the training with Master Galvin's stick, the way he walks is now completely different from how it was over two years ago

Although the figure of Mentor Galvin appears to have few points of contact as he moves, in reality, he is incredibly swift. More than two years ago, even if he had run with all his might, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to follow closely behind Mentor Galvin without making almost any sound.

Thus, even if the characters are erased, there will still be some traces of texture left. As long as individuals who have undergone some training and learning use their sense of touch to "see," they can still restore a semblance of what was there.

After experiencing so many failures in his attempts to ambush, Link has become somewhat suspicious of everything related to Master Galvin. After all, there have been several occasions where the great Master Galvin deliberately left openings, causing Link, who was overly eager to execute his ambush, to suffer considerable losses.

Link closed his eyes, slowly running his hand over the bottom of the stone, wholeheartedly feeling the different textures there. He softly murmured the words that could be restored from m.hetushu.com: "Fallen ... ... Edge ... ... Army ... ... Division ... ... Deployment ... ... Fast ... ... "

He closed his eyes, his mind already filled with the mysterious events he had just experienced

Link still tends to believe in the latter, as he has hunted here many times but has never encountered patrolling soldiers

Such a mode of movement, even the most agile and nimble beasts in the mountains and forests would find it difficult to achieve

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! The routine cries echoed once again in the barracks of the sunset garrison

He turned into the mountains and forests, quickening his pace as he ran with all his might towards the place from last night. Along the way, in the intervals of his running, he also caught two rabbits.

These are the words that Mentor Calvin told him during a time when he failed to deliver a decisive blow

Link secretly felt pleased, calculating the distance between himself and Mentor Galvin, and began to gradually quicken his pace under the cover of shadows

Mountain monkey? "Kermila involuntarily licked her lips: "I will go help!"

He recognized this object; it was a makeshift boundary marker established by the border garrison of both sides. Once crossed, it would no longer be considered territory of the Bavarian Empire

It seems that I am getting closer and closer to being a knight

Is it possible that Master Calvin is ... ...

However, this time the situation is quite different

If we do not leave now and allow Mentor Calvin to go ahead, when he returns to the cabin, he will surely find that I am missing, and it will be difficult to cover it up then

He had just lain down on the bed, tucked himself in, and closed his eyes to pretend to be asleep, when he sensed that Mentor Calvin had also returned quietly.

Link felt a surge of blood rushing through him, yet he quickly made an effort to control himself, fearing that even the slightest sound would betray him. Instead, he focused intently on observing every move of Mentor Galvin with a heightened sense of calmness

Uh, are you really not going to let the teacher know?! That doesn't seem right, does it?!" Camila touched her head and smiled foolishly

He paused for a moment and suddenly became completely stunned

Uh... Link furrowed his brow: "Master Galvin came all the way here, and he isn't even starting a meeting?!"

Hush! Link hurriedly covered his mouth, peering cautiously into the room. He discovered that Mentor Galvin was, as usual, lying down to take his afternoon nap, which finally put his mind at ease

He gently stood up, seemingly pondering something under the moonlight, standing dazed in place for a while

Link originally thought that his Calvin mentor was quite perverse, but he never expected him to be perverse to such an extent
