, When the sun was still a little afterglow, the carriage stopped.

Danica, who had been in the carriage all day long, woke up, looked out through the window, and asked, "Are we here?"

"Yes, we have arrived at the village of Ste." Aphro stood up and said, "get out of the car, let's walk over the next section of the road."

"Aren't we going to a villa?" Danica asked in a daze.

Afuro smiled and said, "That villa is next to the village!"

Well, Danica thought the villas were all located in remote mountains and forests! What good scenery can you see next to the village?

After getting off the car, Danica stretched out her waist. Although Aphro's carriage was quite comfortable, she still felt uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. She looked back at Neos. The guy didn't say a word along the way, and it was rare to meet someone who was more taciturn than herself.

Danica looked at the surrounding environment. The village of Ster was quite small. There were about a hundred families, and they were already quite large. Danica had been here and passed by when she came to the three major magic academies. However, she was sitting in a rented carriage at that time. She was very energetic after the long journey. She didn't have to pay close attention to the surrounding situation. She didn't know that the village she passed by was called Ster Village. The only thing that left a deep impression on Danica was the terrain here - Ster Village is located in a narrow valley, with cliffs as steep as axe on both sides.

"How do you feel here?" Afuro asked quite complacently. She thought she had chosen a good place.

Danica looked at the surrounding environment and said, "The terrain here is quite dangerous."

Afuro gave her a blank look and said, "We are out for a trip. Who asked you to see the terrain?"

Danica said, "I don't want to, but the terrain here is really special." Danica doesn't know how to arrange troops and geography, but she, an ordinary person, can tell that this is definitely a military important place. As long as you block this mountain pass, it will be equivalent to locking the southern gate of the three major magic academies.

Aphro said: "You are right. The three major magic academies and the Holy See of Light have been confronted here for a long time. No matter how elite the Holy See sent, they just can't break through the place and eventually they can only withdraw their troops."

Danica asked strangely: "The Magic Academy and the Holy See of Light have confronted each other here? Why did I hear that there was no war between the College and the Holy See?"

Aphro corrected: "There hasn't been a large-scale battle. Why do you think the Magic Academy was chosen here? It was driven here by the army of the Holy See. My ancestors led troops to chase the remnants of the Magic Empire. If there wasn't a dangerous natural level here, the Academy would have to retreat."

Danica said: "So there was a tragic war here?"

Aphro said: "According to the historical records I have seen, the Holy See of Light and the Magic Academy have repeatedly fought over this pass. Moreover, because the terrain is too dangerous, ordinary troops are useless at all. Both sides send elite troops and professionals."

"All of them are professionals?" Danica said in disbelief.

Afuro nodded and said, "Yes, the commander of high-level professions, the backbone of mid-level professions, and the filling of low-level professions. This is an important reason why they can maintain their status."

Danica secretly said, in her impression, there were few professionals and had a noble status, but she did not expect that for such a continental force with vast land and a huge population, it was not entirely impossible to organize an army composed of professionals.

How great it would be if I could have such an army! Danica thought to herself.

"That happened thousands of years ago. When the Holy See's position as a human race was stable, it ended its military confrontation with the Magic Academy. In order to show sincerity, the Holy See no longer stationed troops here, and the Magic Academy also made a kind response. Since then, long-term peace has come here, so that some people in the village now do not know how much blood of professionals has been shed in the land under their feet." Aphro introduced to Danica while walking.

Under the leadership of Aphro, Danica and Neos came to a large mansion north of the village. The black iron fence gate was rusty and there was a lot of moss on it. The yard was also covered with weeds. There was a two-story villa in the weeds. It could be seen that the exterior wall of the villa was still bright and yellow at the beginning, but now it has become mottled. Some have been sung light gray, and some have not known what dyed dark brown. In short, how does this villa look like...

"Why is this like a haunted man?" Danica couldn't help but say, "Afuro, you won't take me on the 'exploration' again, right?"

Afuro took out a key and was trying hard to open the lock that was already a little rusty on the door. Hearing Danica said this, he didn't look back and said, "Is there anything you said? We're going to live here these days."

"But it's really like a ghost house!" Danica defended.

After a lot of effort, he finally opened the lock. Afuro pushed the door open and turned around and said, "Danika, there are not so many ghosts in this world. If you really don't feel at ease, why would you live outside today?"

"No need." Danica smiled awkwardly and walked in with Afuro.

After entering the yard, Danica's slightly nervous heart slowly relaxed. Although it looked quite desolate, she did not feel any cold breath. If there was really a ghost here, it would be impossible to hide the keen perception of the magician.

When I opened the door, the situation inside the villa was much better than Danica thought. It can be seen that the place has been cleaned recently. Whether it is the floor or furniture, there is basically no dust on it, and the household equipment is quite complete.

"You sent someone to clean it?" Danica asked.

"Of course," said Afuro. "If I don't clean it, I can't live in this place. It took me three days to clean the house."

"Then why don't you tidy up the yard outside? The weeds are overgrown and look ugly." Danica asked.

Afuro spread his hands and said, "Isn't this time insufficient? I originally thought that three days would be enough, but I didn't expect that I could only clean the house and just put it in. If I live in a comfortable place, I'll forget it."

Danica heard a question from Afro's words: "Why are there not enough time? The three of us are not busy people, we can go out anytime, and we are not short of these two or three days, why are there not enough time?"

"Ah? This is the question..." Aphro didn't expect Danica to ask this question, and hesitated, "I have already booked the time and don't want to change any more."

Danica glanced at Aphro suspiciously, and just about to ask something, Neos spoke: "Let's allocate the room first. It's already very late. After dividing the room, it's time to rest."

"Okay." Afuro immediately replied, not giving Danica any chance to interrupt, "There are two bedrooms on the first floor of this villa and two on the second floor. They are all cleaned up. Which one do you plan to live in?"

Neos, who had not spoken along the way, said arbitrarily: "Afro, you are the master here. You should live in the master bedroom. Danica, you live on the first floor with Afro. I'll go to the second floor. Can I do it?"

Danica was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect Neos to decide so simply, but there was nothing to object to. She nodded and said, "Okay, I have no problem."

Afuro said, "Okay, let me introduce to you the layout of this villa first."

Afuro took Danica and Neos to make all the rooms around. The larger bedroom on the first floor is the master bedroom. Afuro lives there, next to it is the second bedroom, Danica's room. On the other side of the master bedroom is a utility room, next to the second bedroom is the kitchen and bathroom. In the middle of the second floor are two rooms of the same size, next to it is the study and bathroom.

After a simple walk, the three of them entered the room with their luggage. Although the place had been cleaned, they still had to clean up if they wanted to check in.

Danica put the package she brought on on the table and observed where she wanted to live in the past few days. This is a room of more than 20 square meters, and the area is not small. It is a double bed against the wall, and there is also a curtain with lace and lace. It looks gorgeous and luxurious. However, the light red color looks a bit vulgar and does not match the light yellow wallpaper. I really don’t know who arranged it. Under the window is a desk, a very large solid wood table, and there is a small bookshelves in the corner, which is empty and has nothing.

Danica was quite satisfied with her room. She looked at it and found that the bedding was new, but Danica still changed the whole set of bedding. Fortunately, it was summer, and she only needed a thin quilt, and her small space ring was stuffed in. The reason why she was so troublesome is that she felt it was cleaner, and she was also cautious. No one knew what she would encounter when she went out, especially when she was lying at night, it was not impossible to put some medicine on it.

All three of them packed things in their own room. This was actually a very good time to visit. For example, Aphro, after putting down her things, she went to the second floor and came to Neos's room.

Afuro pushed the door straight into it, closed the door after coming in, and saw Neos tidying up his bed.

"Is there anything?" Neos asked expressionlessly.

"Nothing, I'm just here to confirm. Are you sure there is no problem?" Afuro asked leaning against the wall.

"If you think there is any problem, you can go find someone else." Neos replied bluntly.

Today, Neos spoke very sharply, which was very different from the previous restrained and low-key. Afuro raised his eyebrows and said, "What's wrong? I'm so angry today? Is there anything I need to help me?" Of course, what Afuro said was actually a transaction. If Neos needs to use her power, she wouldn't mind making a transaction.

Neos' expression was very impatient, but he swallowed the words on his lips, lay on the bed, and said, "Afuro, this world is really hard to mess around now!" His tone was a little bitter.

Afuro chuckled and said, "It's not just now. This world has never been easy to survive. If you want to become a superior person, you must step on other people's corpses, such as you." Afuro was very dissatisfied with the weakness that Neos showed, and she stabbed him with words.

Neos's face was a little stiff. He just sighed casually, but he didn't intend to let others teach him a lesson. He sat up and said, "I know, none of us may be able to get the end, so you don't need to teach this."

Afuro said, "That's good. Pay attention to adjusting your state. If I fail, I'll be fine, and your life will be left here."

Neos waved his hand and said, "I said, you don't need to worry about my affairs. But Danica, why did you call her over? What role can she play?" It's not that Neos looks down on Danica, but she is just a second-level magician, and her strength is really not very good. In addition, her serious injury has not healed, so her strength, which is not very good, was severely discounted.

Afuro was silent for a while and said, "I'm just worried." She couldn't explain why she wanted to invite Danica over. She just felt that inviting Danica over would make her feel more at ease. The girl's character and wisdom made people feel very reliable.

Neos sneered and said, "But you haven't told her the whole story yet." Since calling Danica over is on the safe side to ensure that the action will not fail, but Danica is still kept in the dark after she has arrived. What is this?

Afuro smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about this. I will tell Danica about it when I find a suitable opportunity, but I think she has guessed it."

Danica did guess some of it. At this time, she was lying on the bed she had laid down and closed her eyes to rest. Just now, Afuro revealed an important message. The time they came here was determined. I don’t know if they could be late, but it can’t be too late. This is interesting. Afuro said before that she came here to avoid the killer sent by her brother, but now it seems that she was here not to avoid it, but to counterattack!
