"Why go to the pumpkin farm at this time?" Herrag wondered.

Now that the autumn harvest has ended, there is nothing at the pumpkin farm, and there will be no one to cause trouble. Naturally, there is no value in stationed there.

He saw Emil's awkward expression and suddenly understood, "Okay, I'll go with you, but have you really figured it out?"

He had already realized that Emil and Melissa really liked each other that day.

Emil went to the pumpkin farm this time, mostly to avoid it for a period of time until Melissa got married.

He patted Herag's head and said, "Don't ask too many questions about adults and children!"

Herag could tell that Emil was very anxious, so he casually tidied up and went out with him.

At the entrance of the castle, two horses are ready, with packages of all sizes hanging on their bodies, containing supplies for the winter.

Herag turned his head to look at Emil and found that he was feeling a bit lethargic, probably not sleeping all night.

"Emil!" Melissa's voice came from a distance, and Herag turned around to see a beautiful figure running over.

"Let's go!" Emil was ruthless and immediately got on his horse and ran.

Herag ran away as soon as he saw him, and turned around to see Melissa running over. He didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the nobility, so he mounted his horse and rushed out.

When he rode his horse across the river, he turned around and saw Melissa kneeling at the castle gate, as if crying.

The autumn mountains and forests have changed their appearance, with thousands of mountains covered in red and layers of forests dyed. The mountain roads are covered with fallen leaves, and the hooves of horses make a rustling sound.

Emil remained silent all the way when he had something on his mind, and Herag didn't care about him, so he took it for an outing.

Although he is young, he has been a person of two generations and has much more experience in this field than Emir. Everything takes time to settle.

There is no task for this trip, so there is no rush to make it.

On the way, we passed by that cave, where Herag and Emil both stopped for a while.

Emil poured two glasses of wine onto the ground, performed a chivalric salute, and silently left.

Seven days later, the two arrived at the pumpkin farm.

The Pumpkin Farm is located at the foot of the Jade Mountain Range. The two of them walked down the mountain road and after passing through the forest, their eyes suddenly opened up. This is a wide plain.

On the plain, there are farmland of different sizes, and crops such as wheat and pumpkin are planted on weekdays.

As the autumn harvest has passed, most of the farmland is bare.

There is a large courtyard in the middle of the pumpkin farm, and the walls of the courtyard are built with thick stones, resembling a defensive fortification.

"This is to guard against wild beasts and also to defend against occasional enemy attacks," Emir explained.

The gate of the farm was also a heavy iron gate, and Emil walked up to it and gently knocked on it.

After a while, there was a faint sound of footsteps coming from inside. A hoarse old man asked, "Who is it?"

"Captain of the Castle Guard, Emil, come and station," Emil replied.

"Who?" The old man inside didn't seem to hear clearly.

Emil had no choice but to raise his volume and say it again.

This time the old man seemed to have heard clearly, as the metallic sound of the key poking into the iron lock came from behind the door.

Zhi Ya

The door slowly opened, emitting a piercing sound of friction. Behind the door is an old man wearing a bulky cotton jacket.

The skin on the old man's face was as dry as tree bark, and his eyes were cloudy, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Are you Massimo? I'm Emil, this is the token." Emil took out his Knight Captain badge and handed it over.

Massimo took the badge and didn't even glance at it. Instead, he touched it with his hand and returned it to Emil, saying, "Come in."

"He is the only resident of the farm and has been here for forty years," Emil introduced.

"Forty years..." Herag looked at the elderly man walking unsteadily, feeling somewhat surprised.

"Remember, don't leave the room at night, no matter what sound you hear, don't come out. There are demons in the mountains, and there have been guards stationed here in previous winters, but the next morning the person disappeared. You must be very careful," Massimo said ahead.

"Evil? Does this thing really exist?" Herag asked.

Massimo did not respond, and Li ignored Herag.

Emir said, "There were indeed guards stationed here in winter before, but without exception, they all went missing. Later on, no guards were sent here in winter."

"So we're still here?" Herag had a look of being tricked by you.

Emil smiled and said, "Haha, the rumor of demons is just a rumor. There are many wild beasts foraging in the mountains in winter, and going out at night is indeed risky, but are we still afraid of wild beasts?"

Herag thought about it, but most beasts come to serve food and drink. But what I'm afraid of is the strangeness here, and I can't look at it from the perspective of my past life.

There are more than ten rooms on the farm, big and small. Large houses are mostly warehouses used to store grain or houses.

Smaller houses are usually housing, with Massimo living in the northernmost cottage on the farm, and Emil and Herag living in a three story large house in the middle of the farm.

The house was quite messy, and the two of them simply tidied it up, barely giving it a sense of life.

This house also has a cellar. Looking for the Book Garden www.zhaoshuyuan.com, Emil opened the wooden board covering the cellar, hung an oil lamp, and found that the lamp did not go out before walking down.

There are bags of flour and several large wooden barrels in the cellar.

Emil's face lit up with joy as he picked up a wooden barrel and sniffed it, "These are all good wines!"

The two of them took out a barrel, found two cups, and poured out bright red wine from the wooden barrel. The rich aroma of wine immediately permeated.

"Cheers!" Emil smiled.

cheers

After a long journey, both of them felt a bit tired, so they happened to have a drink.

It is difficult for a knight's physique to be intoxicated by alcohol, and there are no other people here. Herag boldly asked, "Are you really not going to regret running here to avoid it?"

Emil smiled bitterly and said, "I regret it now, but there is something more important than my personal feelings."

"The Baron's alliance this time is to preserve the entire territory. If I influence this alliance for my own sake, it will affect the territory and the Baron," he continued.

Herag was puzzled and said, "Preserve the entire territory? The people of Behad don't have this ability, do they?"

Behad himself was so poor that he couldn't possibly pose a threat to the entire Durg Valley.

Emil looked at Herag and said, "Do you know why the Baron has been able to control the Dur Valley for so long? Is it because there are many guards? No, because the Baron is a Grand Knight, and there are not many Grand Knights in the entire Kingdom of Norton."

"The top combat power of the Grand Knight is a deterrent, so no one dares to invade on a large scale, because the Grand Knight can take down your entire family alone."

"Is Lord Baron..." Herag suddenly had a guess in his heart. If Baron Buck's life was not long, then the Valley of Durham would be a big fat piece that everyone could see.
