Chapter 6: Laura's "Guardians"

The scorching heat of midsummer gradually dissipated, and the unique coldness and bleakness of late autumn began to flood Ragram.
This kind of weather, for ordinary people, may mean the harvest of crops and the need to add clothes to prevent illness, which are all small things. However, for the martial artist's practice, autumn and winter are really good times.
Spring is the time when everything is recovering, but humans are most likely to get sleepy and lack energy at this time, and the scorching heat in the midsummer season is too unbearable, and it will inevitably affect the practice of martial arts. But autumn and winter are different. Autumn is the cool time and the climate is pleasant. It is suitable for the training of martial arts and combat skills. There is no need to worry about fatigue or the scorching heat. The cold and severe cold in winter is more against the will of the martial artist. In the test of quality, there are not a few practitioners who choose to travel to various places to improve their martial arts in winter.
When Heliga walked out of Regram's dojo, the sun was almost below the horizon.
A refreshing autumn breeze floated from the other side of the lake, as if it had blown away the worries and fatigue of the day. The breeze gently wrinkled the lake surface, and the ripples were glowing with Yin Hong's rays; the breeze gently shook the branches, and the rustling sound seemed like the whisper of an elf, pleasant to the ear.
"...I can't get tired of seeing this scenery so many times..." Slightly startled, he realized that he was indulging in the sunset glow of the lake unknowingly, shook his head, smiled slightly, and started walking towards the Viscount Mansion.
After two steps, he stopped again and looked at the moving scenery by the lake.
"It seems that it's still early, or else, let's go to the lake for a walk today?" Muttering to herself, Heliga decided to go to the lake for a walk-since she was attracted by the scenery again, she didn't do it at all. Two endlessly, take a good look at the beauty before the sun goes down completely.
Now that it has been decided, let's do it-Heliga, who was thinking this way, quickly walked to the bar of the tavern "Cherry", and after a little hello to the owner Viva, took the iced juice and walked to the lake.
After walking for about five minutes, bypassing the statues of the saint and the guards, you can reach the pier of Ragram. Going east along the pier, there is a forest. From the Ebel Lake to the north, you can directly reach the main gathering point of the leader of the Kruchin State Orlocs Fortress. There are a large number of dangerous beasts and beasts in the depths of this forest, but in this area by the lake, due to the presence of extraordinary powerhouses such as the Viscount Lord, and the regular elimination of the Ragram Guerrilla Association, there are basically no beasts and beasts. , The only thing to worry about is some venomous snakes and mosquitoes that are not very toxic. These venomous snakes are no better than the cobras, which can make people die quickly with just one bite. At most, they will make your skin swelling and itching for a while, and so are mosquitoes. Of course, occasionally there will be bad cases of skin necrosis or even necrosis of the entire arm or leg due to improper treatment. Therefore, it is necessary to bring enough insect repellent and antidote to be considered a perfect preparation. In fact, travelers often find a place in this forest to set up tents, spend a few days fishing, picking mushrooms, and enjoy the fun of nature.
That is to say, Your Excellency doesn't care much about these things, otherwise, if you change the old slick of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, maybe you will develop this into a tourist area, right? Heliga drank the juice and walked into the forest, and stopped beside a tall cedar tree. According to preliminary estimates, the height of this tree is about fifty sub-distances high, and it is the best in this forest. Especially in the forest with 8-15 meters high trees as the theme, it looks a bit different from the others. And this tree has thick branches as a foothold. Spending a night on it is actually a good choice?
Forget it, what if you catch a cold if you stay overnight in such a place? Let's take a look at the lake, and then go back. Thinking about it, Heliga drank the last sip of juice and jumped onto the tree trunk. It didn't take long before he found a very comfortable place. Heliga lay on the branch, planning to spend the remaining half an hour here.
Appreciating the beautiful scenery, Heliga began to think of other things again. In the past few months in Ragram, I had a very fulfilling and comfortable life. Although those strange visions have never completely disappeared, no matter whether it is the Lord Viscount, butler Klaus and Laura, they are all very kind and kind people. Here I get up early every day, first doing morning exercises with everyone in the dojo, and then time for special training by Klaus. From time to time, they will train with Laura, and the two will learn from each other-although they have never won, the best record is to tie twice-in the afternoon, either because of the fighting spirit, or go to participate. Sunday school classes, or go to the lake with Laura...
This kind of life is naturally beautiful and enviable... But what is the feeling of being unreal...
Helija closed her eyes and thought, does this have anything to do with my "dreams"?
Thinking of his strange dreams these days, Heliga's doubts became more and more serious. And he vaguely felt that the frequency of these dreams, and the clarity of his memory after waking up, seemed to be proportional to the growth of his strength.
......While thinking about these messy things, Heliga suddenly heard faintly coming from some places near the lake... Noise?
Stopped thinking, Heliga paid a little attention over there-is it a traveler? Or the naughty kid who came to the forest to play? It's impossible to be a big beast, right?
"Is this here? Koloai?"
"It should be correct... Hi, Cindy, slow down, you stepped on my shoes!"
"Selia tripped me..."
There was a faint voice of girls frolicking. Heliga was familiar with this voice.
"These guys..." Heliga couldn't help but want to cover her face. Aren't these three girls in the town who admired Laura?
Heliga still remembers that once he and Laura finished their training with Butler Klaus, they thought about going to "Cherry" together to drink some fresh juice to relieve fatigue. However, as soon as he walked into the store with Laura, Heliga felt a hostile look in his eyes-more present than those malicious gazes on the court, but the vicious momentum of this pretentious posture is really true. It is too obvious, but it makes people feel that there is no substantive malice at all.
"Sister Laura..." A girl in a red dress ran to Laura and asked Laura about this and that. For a while, Laura was a bit at a loss, so she had to ask, "Selia, what's the matter?"
"My elder sister..." The girl named Celia embraced Laura, and she had no choice but to touch Celia's head and whispered comfort. Heliga vaguely saw that the moment the girl hugged Laura, a strange smile appeared on her mouth?
"..." Feeling speechless, Heilijia felt as if she understood what was going on, and the girl in sentiment regarded herself as a... love rival? Heliga was dumbfounded. Although she liked Laura very much, she liked her friends and "comrades in arms" who made progress together in martial arts, not love. Scratching his head, he decided to ignore this scene.
After that, when I was with Laura, the petite girl named Kulaai and the girl named Cindy also appeared and did similar things. After that, Heliga remembered these people, and in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not take the initiative to talk to them.
"What are they doing in the forest at this time?" Heliga thought secretly.
"...Nor here...Isn't it possible to actually enter Ron Green, right?"
"What can I do... The Viscount-sama is not here now, do you want to ask Mr. Claus?"
"It seems that this can only be done... those nasty little ghosts..."
"Huh? Why does it sound weird? Did something bad happen? I always feel a little concerned." Heliga looked at the sunset that was about to sink completely into the horizon, listening to the trees and the wind blowing the leaves. The voice of the girl’s dialogue, I decided to come down and ask to understand. It sounds like someone accidentally broke into the ancient city of Ron Green by the lake?
Thinking like this, Heliga flicked up slightly and grabbed the thickest branch beside her...
