"Master Tutor!" Seeing Hakara fell, all the witches gathered around in a panic.

"Idiot! Cough..." She clutched her wound, feeling completely numb in her lower body, "Quick, go and kill that traitor for me!"

At this time, Nightingale had already taken Wendy together and fled into the mist.

Back at the fork in the road, she saw that the forearm of Wendy who had fallen into a coma had turned black, and the venom was gradually spreading, so she could no longer hesitate. She gritted her teeth, lifted up the opponent's sleeve, tied the upper edge of the arm tightly with a cloth belt, then pulled out a handleless dagger from the sole of the shoe, and stabbed it down forcefully.

It took her half a quarter of an hour to cut off Wendy's entire arm, took off her robe and carefully wrapped it up, and then pulled out two straps to tie it tightly behind her back. As long as she can return to Border Town alive, Nana can make this severed arm intact.

But... can he really go back alive?

It took three days to come here by myself, and it would only be slower if I moved behind my back. If she walked fast and accidentally slipped down the path, she was not sure that she could climb up.

Wendy's arm was still oozing blood, and she couldn't last three or four days like this, but Nightingale had no choice, she absolutely couldn't leave Wendy alone - the other party was hurt because of herself.

"Do you need help?"

Hearing the sudden voice of inquiry, Nightingale spread out the fog almost at the same time, and took a defensive posture.

But there was no one in front of her.

"Don't be nervous, I don't want to fight with you."

Nightingale raised her head and found that the other party was floating in the air, "Who are you?"

"My name is Lightning. I just joined the Mutual Aid Society not long ago. I run outside every day. It's normal that you don't know me." She pretended to smile relaxedly, "But I know you, the famous Nightingale, the killer in the shadows. "

"Hakara sent you?"

"No, no, don't get me wrong," Lightning slowly landed, touching the ground with one foot, "I want to go with you."

Nightingale wondered for a moment if she heard it wrong, "What?"

"You said, we should have the right to freely choose our own way of life," she paused, "I choose to be with you, it's as simple as that."

"Why... why?" Nightingale was already completely disappointed in the Mutual Aid Society, and even Wendy couldn't fully believe in herself, but the girl in front of her—she was indeed a child, about fourteen or fifteen years old, and Nana tiles are similar. With short, crisp blond hair and a radiant face, his words are full of self-confidence that doesn't match his age. She didn't wear the robe issued by the Freedom Society, but a set of close-fitting trousers that are easy to move around, plus a leather short jacket full of pockets and patches, so old that the age cannot be seen, and finally paired with two pairs of unknown clothes around the waist. The thick leather belt I picked up from somewhere looks like a man's attire at first glance.

"Because of what you said, the black machine that puffs out white gas, can turn into stone-gray powder when it touches water, and the snow mang that can burst out like thunder. I want to see it." She raised her head and said. , "I am determined to be an explorer, of course I will go to interesting places."

What's the reason... Nightingale was stunned, she sounded out of tune, but that consciousness told herself that the other party was not lying.

"I don't understand... If you want to be an adventurer, why did you join the Mutual Aid Society?"

"It's not an adventurer, it's an explorer!" Lightning emphasized, "I'm not the same as those people who get paid to do things. I say I'm an adventurer, but I'm just a jackal who does all kinds of dirty work. Explorers only do things for fun! As for why she joined the Mutual Aid Society..." She said confidently, "Isn't it a great adventure to find the holy mountain? But Hakara doesn't understand the spirit of exploration at all. Everything is mechanically related to the content recorded in ancient books. The stone gate rising from the ground is nothing more than two weathered stone pillars. If she continues to search like this, she will never find the real holy mountain. An explorer , You must honestly record everything you see, it is not something an explorer should do to find out what you see, this is what my father has repeatedly emphasized!"

Although she wanted to know who her father was to raise a daughter with such a strange thinking, Nightingale knew that now was not the time to chat and Wendy's life was at stake. Since the other party had no malicious intentions, it would be good to have one more helper.

"Your ability is flying?"

"Hmm," Lightning nodded, "Even if you two are dragged along, you can move forward like the wind."

"Then I'll trouble you," Nightingale neatly tied Wendy behind her back, then climbed onto Lightning's back, wrapping her arms around Lightning's chest.

"Uh...it's really heavy," Lightning gritted his teeth and raised his voice slowly, "I think, probably, maybe, it won't be able to move forward like the wind."

...

The two walked alternately like this, and when Lightning exhausted her energy, it was Nightingale who carried her through the mist. When she regained her strength, Nightingale hung on her back and let her fly forward with her.

Only when both of them were exhausted and had to stop to rest, Nightingale would tentatively ask her some basic questions - such as her father, her family.

Lightning claims that his father is the greatest explorer in the world, and his footprints are all over the ocean. He owns an ocean-going fleet, and the crew affectionately call him Thunder. Her mother passed away when she was very young, so there are not many memories left. During the voyage in a storm and heavy rain, the ship hit a rock and capsized, she was washed up on a small island by the ocean current, and lost contact with her father. Lightning spent nearly two months on the small island using the knowledge and skills taught by his father, and awakened as a witch in winter.

Then she went all the way west, crossed the strait and flew to the southern border of Graycastle, after several twists and turns, she finally joined the Mutual Aid Society. She felt that as long as she insisted on exploring, one day, she would be able to meet her father again in a certain wonder—if he was still alive.

Nightingale didn't get much useful information from these conversations. Her ability can only be used to tell whether the other party is lying, but cannot judge the authenticity of the content. In other words, as long as someone says that the sun is square and believes in it, the ability will also judge it to be true.

However, some information can be deduced. For example, she must have been born in a wealthy family-a family that is still struggling with food and clothing cannot have the leisure to explore, and owning an ocean-going fleet is also consistent with this judgment. Therefore, a wealthy overseas businessman may be Lei Ting's true identity. And the blond hair of Lightning doesn't seem to be of the blood of the Kingdom Continent, but more like the people of the fjords across the sea.

During this period, Wendy woke up several times, and Nightingale took a lot of effort to give her a few sips of water, and then she quickly fell into a coma. Feeling the other party's body temperature getting lower and lower, Nightingale became more and more anxious.

With the alternate rush of the two, it took only one and a half days to run the entire trail in the gorge, which originally took three days. At the entrance, the horse that had been brought from the prince was still tied, and the straw piled before it was mostly eaten.

Nightingale got on the horse with Wendy on her back, led Lightning, and ran towards Border Town without stopping.
