Torture Officer Xiao Jie Just Wants to Fish

Especially under the encouragement and nourishment of the golden carrot, the horse seemed to run very vigorously. In less than half a day, it took Rose and Dorothy away from the western border of South Sotua.

Although the roads in South Sotua were poorly repaired, they came to the wilderness after not walking far, and there were wandering monsters everywhere.

But after Rose released a trace of extraordinary breath, those monsters had no intention of stepping forward to die.

South Sotua is a country located in various hills, wastelands, and swamps. Although the terrain is generally flat and the climate is warm, the country does not have much livable area.

It is precisely because of this that it presents a situation where each castle is entrusted separately.

After leaving the city gathering area on the western border, it will soon enter the most desolate hinterland of the entire South Sotua United Kingdom.

Even most of the mercenaries would rather choose to detour through the mountains to the north than to set foot in it without a mission.

This is a forbidden place for life with scattered rivers, lakes and swamps, and it is one of the famous forbidden places in the mainland.

Black Lake Mire.

After going deep into it, you may even encounter monsters more terrifying than the coastal beaches in the south.

There are only a few remnants of the orc tribes and some fugitives who have nowhere to go.

Rose was fine with that.

In these so-called "forbidden areas", the periphery will be particularly safe.

Because the reason why these places become forbidden areas is probably because there are one or several powerful monsters located in the core area.

Although this monster is very strong, but in fact...

If you just pass by the periphery, it won't hurt you much.

Therefore, as long as you don't provoke them, or if the balance between several monsters in the forbidden area is broken, there will be no danger that Rose can't deal with it.

The ground under his feet gradually became muddy and damp, and the rotten smell in the air began to intensify. The surrounding vegetation also gradually changed from a sparse grassland to a dark green vegetation that was wet and soft like seaweed. There were also some bamboos that grew in the humid environment, shrub.

From time to time, there are quite large and strange bugs crawling across the ground, and in some turbid and slow-moving waters, a tentacles or a pair of cold-blooded and malicious eyes will protrude from the bottom of the water from time to time.

They have entered the restricted area of ​​this life.

This kind of monsters are much more violent than those wandering in the wilderness outside.

Rose has noticed a lot of "spying" eyes.

Dorothy also seemed a little scared, and shrank even more into her arms, clinging to her tightly.

"Don't be afraid, Dorothy, even you can easily deal with these monsters."

Rose comforted her softly.

Most of them are entry-level and official-level monsters, and even elite-level monsters account for less than one-third of the number.

Although for ordinary people and ordinary extraordinary people, because the number and density are too large, they can indeed be called restricted areas...

But for the superhumans with a little bit of strength, the reason why this place is a restricted area for them is because of the powerful existences in the depths.

Although some of these monsters have reached the extraordinary level, if Dorothy is still in a normal state, she can indeed deal with them.

Her ability can be said to have a special attack effect on monsters.

The more this kind of scene with many monsters, the more conducive to her performance.

Of course, Dorothy can't use her extraordinary power now.

She is no different from an ordinary person.

But after being so comforted by Rose, Dorothy still seemed to feel better.

"I know, teacher."

She spoke softly, resting her head gently on Rose's shoulder.

The two continued to walk along the periphery of the swamp. In order to prevent the newly acquired mount from adapting to this environment, Rose also enchanted its limbs so that it could walk on the ground in the swamp.

It is obvious that a great battle is going on hundreds of miles away, but there is no feeling at all here.

This is just a journey of less than half a day.

However, because the danger outside is very low, it is not that there are no mercenaries here to hunt monsters and complete tasks.

Many of the unique monsters in the Black Lake Swamp Forbidden Land are precious magic materials, which can be used to make various potions and magic props. They are relatively scarce resources in this mercenary kingdom.

Soon, Rose felt a wave of magic power not far ahead.

It seems that a group of mercenaries who are stationed to rest have opened a simple magic circle to protect monsters.

In the distance, even the light of the bonfire can be seen.

Rose glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and just realized that it should be time to rest now.

Although she herself could give up rest in order to hurry, Rose didn't intend to do that.

First, eating and sleeping on time is Rose's creed and principle, and she will not break it unless necessary.

Secondly, now Dorothy really needs to rest on time.

Although resting on time may have little effect on the repair of her soul damage, Rose still feels that she can recover as much as possible as soon as possible.

"Tired?"

Rose gently touched Dorothy's head and asked softly.

"A little bit."

Dorothy thought for a while, and replied without being too brave.

"Then let's go take a rest, there is a mercenary camp just ahead."

Rose said so, pulled the horse's rein, turned the horse's head, and drove the horse to the direction where the mercenaries were.

It's not that Rose doesn't have the ability to build a camp alone in the wild, but the place chosen by those mercenaries is really good, and it is the most suitable place to camp in the vicinity.

Taking Dorothy out with other people might also help the little girl's recovery.

Communication is also very important for a human being.

"It's really a coincidence... Forget it, if you don't avoid it, it's just a rehearsal before entering the Holy Empire."

Rose muttered, and gradually approached the camp.

She could feel that there were 15 people in the camp.

Except for the leader who is at the Extraordinary level, the rest are at the official level and ordinary elite level.

There are even two apprentices, presumably to do logistical chores.

This is a very standard small mercenary group in South Sotua.

Rose could even hear their laughing, drinking, and shouting.

As she approached without too much concealing her aura, the mercenaries on guard soon spotted Rose approaching.

Rose looked at the mercenary standing on the edge of the protective magic circle and glanced at herself from a distance. After the rough perception magic spell swept over her, the mercenary turned and shouted at the mercenaries who were drinking by the campfire. something happened.

Afterwards, the head of the mercenary group also glanced at himself, and whispered a few words to the guy next to him who seemed to be his deputy.

Rose watched this scene with great interest, but didn't listen carefully to what they said.

Dorothy was not nervous either, she just raised her head and asked Rose.

"Teacher, what if they have evil intentions?"

Although she has lost her memory, she can also understand that the profession of "mercenary" can be said to be a mixed bag.

They still have a high probability of encountering "bad guys".

And Rose laughed after listening to Dorothy's words.

"Then we can only kill them all - to be honest, they will not be your opponent here, so they will not be my opponent."

As Rose said so, Dorothy blinked.

"Well, it would be fine if they weren't."

Dorothy spoke softly.

The tone was still waxy, but the content made Rose feel slightly shocked.

She looked at Dorothy with a strange expression.

"Ah? Why is that?"

Dorothy also realized her gaffe, and quickly covered her mouth.

"Ah——I just want to see how the teacher will make a formal move."

She defended, the roots of her ears were a little red.

I actually blurted out what was in my heart...

To be honest, Dorothy didn't know why she had such an idea.

Probably because of the feeling of being protected by Teacher Rose along the way, isn't it great?

Therefore, she also wants to experience more "protected" feelings.

Dorothy, who became even less good at covering up and escaping her inner feelings due to amnesia, naturally forgot the feelings she should evade.

However, she still vaguely felt that she couldn't directly express too hot and direct feelings to Rose in front of her.

So hastily found an excuse to cover up.

This panic made Rose feel that something was wrong with Dorothy.

But she, who cared about her disciples, didn't realize that it was Dorothy's feelings for her that had a problem.

But more or less guilty of whispering.

"It's bad, this amnesia and soul problem, won't it make Dorothy change her temperament?"

"No, no, it should be that Dorothy has some such negative thoughts, but she didn't show them before..."

"It's true. After all, the environment of life and growth is full of intrigue and intrigue... I can only take this opportunity to correct it."

Rose thought so, and also came to the conclusion that the process was basically all right, and the result was basically all wrong.

At this time, the "deputy head" who had walked out of the mercenary camp, a strong elite woman with a knight's long sword on her back, also approached Rose and Dorothy.

"Hey, two... I saw you coming towards us, do you need any help?"
