I weave my destiny in parallel time and space

"Have you ever heard of the Headless Horseman?"

Returning along the original path to the castle, Char asked.

"I think I've heard of it," Sebastian recalled with a frown.

“If it really exists, it may be some kind of spirit formed from legends, but the rest is not clear.

Although it is one system, the European God of Death and the Britannian God of Death are two different departments. I don't see them very often. I don't know much about things in Europe. "

Xia Ya nodded. Those assassins may not be looking for the treasure. Hei Lang may still be looking for the whereabouts of the organization and exploring mysterious events.

They walked slowly along the deserted roads in the countryside and soon left the village.

But soon, the road ahead was blocked by those assassins. Their faces were hidden under their hoods, making it difficult to see their expressions clearly.

The leader was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his thirties, with slightly obvious nasolabial folds.

"Who are you?" the middle-aged man asked, "What are you doing here?"

Xia Ya's eyelids were slightly closed, and a slight smile appeared on his face, "It seems that Hei Lang didn't tell you that you should never reveal your existence before you have a thorough understanding of the target.

You are supposed to be assassins, but you are not qualified at all. "

The middle-aged man and his companion looked at each other.

Then, he continued, "Do you know our mentor?"

"It's not bad, we've known each other for a short time." Xia Ya said, looking at the three of them, "You are here to investigate the Headless Horseman, right?"

After the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, he said, "My name is Hoover, their names are Hagu and Doyle, I don't know what your name is."

"Ask your mentor." Xia Ya seemed not to want to mention his name, "He will tell you naturally."

Hoover's expression was slightly dull, and then he asked tentatively, "Are you here to investigate this matter too?"

"No, I'm here to play." Xia Ya said, "By the way, I want to play a treasure hunt game with my children."

"Treasure hunt. Game?" Hoover had some difficulty understanding the meaning of Xiaya's words.

The only woman among the three said, "If you are here with your children, I suggest you take your children and leave as soon as possible. This is not a fun place, it is very dangerous."

Her body frame is smaller than that of European women, she seems to be of mixed race, and she has some freckles on her face.

Her name is Doyle.

"Oh?" Char asked curiously, "Does the Headless Horseman really exist?"

"Someone nearby was beheaded by the Headless Horseman." Doyle said, "That's why we came here to investigate the truth of the matter. Even if it's not the real Headless Horseman, then there must be a cruel serial killer here."

Xia Ya nodded, "Thank you for your advice, we will pay attention to it.

So, see you later. "

He nodded to a few people, and then walked towards the path behind them, with Sebastian following behind him.

Several people just watched Xia Ya's leaving figure quietly.

"How's it going? Hagu." Hoover asked the other man beside him.

"I can't tell the details." Hagu said.

Hoover sighed, "If only we awakened Eagle Eyes."

Hagu asked, "Could it be someone from the Nightmare Order?"

Hoover shook his head, "I don't think so, and the people in the Nightmare Order don't know the mentor's real name."

"Would you like to give it a try directly?" Hagu said, "Anyway, there are three of us, and there are only two of them, and those two don't look very powerful."

Hoover shook his head, "It would be difficult if he was a friend of the mentor."

"The mentor must know him." Doyle said seriously.

Hoover nodded, "Let's wait and see first to see their true purpose."

The other two people also nodded.

"Friends of your friends don't seem very friendly to you," Sebas said.

Char shrugged, "They have some destined enemies, so it's normal to be wary."

While chatting, they also made their way back to the castle gate.

The place where Calcifer stopped was very spiritual. During the last renovation, the castle originally had a lot of shrubs. Now it is parked in the forest, perfectly integrated with the trees. If you don't go deep, you can't really see it.

Seeing Char coming back, Arthur ran out of the castle and asked concernedly.

"Teacher, did you find anything?"

"Absolutely." He said seriously, "The treasure will only appear when the moon is dark and the wind is high."

He looked at Arthur with an unknown gleam in his eyes, "So we have to wait until night."

"Can I go?" Arthur said expectantly.

"Of course." Xia Ya smiled, "You mentioned coming to find this treasure, didn't you?"

"Great!" Arthur said excitedly, waving his arms.

"That's right, you might want to take the sword with you." Xia Ya said.

Arthur was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xia explain.

"We are going into the forest and need swords to chop down branches."

Although it is not 100% sure that the Headless Horseman or clues about him will be found tonight, but if they really come here because of fate.

Then the probability of them encountering that thing will be quite high.

Arthur nodded, "I understand."

So, they entered the castle and began to wait for the night to fall.

At about eight or nine o'clock in the evening, Char and Arthur left the castle together. Sebastian hadn't gone back yet, so he followed them. They were idle anyway.

Isabel was also curious about this, so Xia also took Isabel with her, but Alicia didn't want to go out. She seemed to have guessed something and knew that there would be some trouble next, so she didn't want to cause trouble.

In order to protect Alicia, Calcifer, who originally wanted to go, also stayed.

They walked straight towards what was marked on the map and what the tavern proprietress called the "Forbidden Forest".

Not far from the village, at the end of the valley.

There is a church there, which looks very old, with mottled marks on the walls and some wall-climbing plants.

There is a large lawn in front of the church. It seems to be taken care of regularly and the lawn is neatly mowed.

The forest at the end of the lawn is probably the so-called forbidden forest.

It was the same as the trees the castle saw when it entered this valley. Although it was spring, there were no leaves on the trees. I don’t know what species they were. The bare branches formed a forest, like twisted human hands, in the dark night and dense forest. Against the background of fog, it makes people feel terrified.

Xia Ya also saw one of the men who had fought in the bar at the door of the church. He was begging for something to a woman.

She was a Germanic woman with golden blue eyes and fair skin. She was very beautiful. The corners of her mouth were downward, with a hint of impatience.

Char cast a little magic to hide their auras.

As they approached, the sounds of their quarrels could be heard.

"Ma Lin, I know you married him just to make me angry. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Can you give me another chance?"

Ma Lin sighed softly, crossing her hands on her chest, with a little sadness in her eyes.

"But I'm married, Beck."

The diamond ring on her hand shone faintly under the starlight.

"I have sworn an oath with Woolf in the church and have become a legal couple under the witness of God."

"No, no." Baker didn't seem to accept it. He moved his arms excitedly, his eyes red, "You are mine!"

"We can't break our oath." Ma Lin said with a painful expression.

"No, no." Baker seemed to be in a trance, with a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, "There is another way."

Looking at Baker's expression, Xia noticed an obvious cunning flash in Ma Lin's eyes.

I don’t know if the Headless Horseman will show up tonight, but it would be nice to eat melon while waiting.

At least Char, Isabel and Sebas all watched with gusto.
