9 What Good People Can There Be in the Wilderness?

Edward and his party successfully entered the Golin Mountain Range through the pass in their hands.

When they entered the mountain range again, the guards told Edward that there was a city called the Lawless Land in the mountain range.

The people there were all outlaws from various countries.

This was because the Golin Mountain Range was already at the periphery of two countries. It could be said to be the border between them.

Naturally, there were also traces of outlaws.

This was also the reason why Duke Golin had ordered the mountain range to be sealed in recent years.

As for the two places on the map, Edward did not choose to check immediately.

First of all, Moon Lake was a rather peculiar place. It was located deep in the heart of the Golin Mountain Range. It was rumored that even during the day, the shadow of the moon would be reflected. It was a peculiar lake.

The Land of Fog was a legend of this mountain range. In recent years, there were people who said that they had seen the Land of Fog in the south. The time it appeared was uncertain, but if they entered it by mistake, they would never walk out again and would completely lose themselves in it.

Edward picked up a wild fruit from the tree and took a bite.

Suddenly, he looked towards a spot in the forest.

His five senses had been greatly enhanced by the mysterious power, and perhaps due to his bloodline, he now had the characteristics of a snake.

For example, heat vision and aura perception!

Immediately, Edward's eyes turned into vertical pupils unique to snakes. In his vision, he could see several human figures formed from heat running towards him, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Someone was being hunted down?

It seemed to be a woman.

Edward observed the bushes with interest.

The knights nearby also sensed that something was wrong and quickly drew their swords to shield Edward.

"Save me! Save me! Someone save me!"

The sharp sound was so piercing to Edward that he had to turn off the snake mode.

She was too noisy.

The female's shout came from the forest, causing the surrounding knights to become even more vigilant, putting on a defensive stance!

The voices were getting closer.

A woman dressed in rags and dirt rushed out of the bushes and ran towards them.

Accompanying her were seven or eight burly men with sharp blades in their hands. They shouted ferociously, "Stop running! Where can you run to in this forest?!"

"Since you've made us comfortable, we'll naturally give you a quick death! Haha!"

"Oh, there's actually a group of blind knights around!? What, are you going to be nosy?"

"I advise you to obediently hand her over. Otherwise, don't blame us for capturing your master and selling him off as a slave!!"

The one who spoke was a thin man with a scimitar in his hand. His aura was not weak and he looked to be on par with a Silver Knight.

The dozen or so people behind him were on average at the level of Black Iron Knights.

The five knights in front of Edward were solemn. The five of them were at the peak of Bronze rank, and this group of Black Iron and Silver enemies meant death for them!

However, as the knights of the Feylan Cavalry, they had their own pride. Glory would not allow them to retreat even half a step!

"Save me, please save me!"

The woman who was asking for help ran past the vigilance area of the knights and arrived in front of Edward. Her beautiful face was stained with tears, making her look weak.

"Young Master Edward, regarding this lady, shall we—"

Before the guard who had been protecting Edward could finish his sentence, a cold light flashed and a long sword cut off the head of the woman who was asking for help.

Slash!

A stream of blood spurted out from her neck, and the woman's body fell weakly to the ground. The head that flew into the air carried the confusion from before her death.

Edward shook off the blood on his sword and looked at the stunned bandits.

He shook his head and said softly, "How good can a woman who came out to seek help in the wilderness be!"

"Kill them all."

With that, Edward charged forward and locked onto the leader who was of Silver rank.

The next moment, the five knights also drew their swords and charged into the crowd, beginning the massacre.

The swords and blades collided, and the sharp edges pierced into the flesh as blood dyed the grass red.

The massacre began.

Without the threat of the silver leader, the five knights killed a dozen black iron bandits like killing chickens.

Gradually, the overwhelming massacre came to an end. The Black Iron bandits' body fell to the ground, and the only one left alive was the Silver leader who had been struggling against Edward.

Slowly, the man lost his strength and fell to his knees before Edward.

"Someone, tie him up and throw him to the back of the carriage!" Edward instructed while looking expressionlessly at the leader who was begging him.

"How can there be such a dramatic scene in the wilderness? Use your brain more when you try to rob next time! That is, if you can survive from this."

The difference between Bronze and Black Iron was huge. Even without Edward's help, five knights were more than enough to fight a dozen Black Iron bandits.

He called out to the frightened maid and prepared to get on the carriage to continue on their journey.

The corpses on the ground affected his appetite.

A few knights tied the half-dead leader to the back of the carriage and began to head for the only city in this mountain range: the Lawless Land.

————

The Lawless Land.

It was located at the border between the two countries.

The people who came here were naturally from all over the world. There were all sorts of people, merchants, travelers, bandits, and outlaws. It was simply a mix of good and bad.

After half a day of traveling, Edward's carriage finally arrived at the Lawless Land.

The five knights were responsible for handling various matters with the relevant people here.

The leader hanging behind the carriage was already half-dead. Edward waved his hand to remove the rope on his head.

A half-dead Silver rank bandit. He believed that many people in this city were very interested.

Edward put on a black robe and led his maid to a tavern.

In the tavern, Edward ordered a plate of roast meat and some wine. He and his maid sat by the window and observed their surroundings amidst the noisy discussion.

Most of the people around him were dressed like him. They were all people who did not want to reveal their identities.

It was the best place to inquire about the Moon Lake and the Land of Fog.

Everything in the book was outdated, and some information about the system should be updated.

Edward looked around casually, but his sensitive hearing was connected to the system, so he was responsible for recording everyone's discussion!

The clues to the mysterious place began here.
