No one in the tent was aware that there was a man who had been hiding in the dark and observing them for a long time. He rummaged through everything in the house and then left quietly.
It's dark now, maybe it's past bat time.
But there is still a long time before dawn, and the sky has not turned white yet.
Many people in the camp were awakened by what had just happened, and then asked each other what they were talking about, and since Viserys came out, he stopped by to take a look at the scene.
Phew~
The lights here are bright, several torches are lit, and there are many people gathered on the three floors inside and outside.
Viserys's appearance was also unobtrusive, and then he pushed his way through the crowd and came to the front.
"what happened?"
He even pretended not to know anything about it.
"The person was already dead. He was bitten to death and then dragged a long distance away."
Next to Viserys, a middle-aged mercenary who looked to be in his thirties or forties held a straw stick in his mouth and said.
"I think the wound looks a bit like a wolf's tooth, but..."
The middle-aged mercenary's face was a little gloomy, and he even looked a little scared under the bright firelight. Then he stopped talking, sighed, turned around and left.
Viserys was still waiting for the other party to continue speaking, but he did not expect that the other party suddenly became silent, his face became very ugly, and then he turned and left.
The silver-haired young man frowned slightly, then withdrew his gaze and looked at the body that had been bitten to death.
The corpse did look a bit ferocious, with the upper body covered in blood and flesh, and the lower body covered in mud.
It seemed that the monster just bit his neck and dragged his body away, but it didn't escape too far before being chased by the mercenaries.
Then the monster decisively gave up its prey and fled into the woods, disappearing without a trace.
"What kind of monster is this?"
While Viserys was carefully observing the corpse, the mercenaries around him were making loud noises, but it was obvious that they were using their voices to cover up their fear.
After all, everyone knows the dangers in Valyria.
Such a monster that came and went without a trace suddenly attacked the camp, leaving a good soldier to die without any resistance, inspiring fear in everyone's hearts.
This monster can kill this person easily, so...can it kill myself easily?
There were no torches in the camp, it was dark, and the few torches were in the hands of the night watch mercenaries.
Could it be that a monster sneaked into the camp while I was sleeping and almost had my head bitten off like this poor guy?
Although the human neck is a relatively fragile part of the body, the monster's bite force was still amazing, and it bit off his head directly.
It is even much stronger than some tigers, lions and black bears, and the speed of the monster is also amazing, and it can abandon its prey and run very fast.
People were making noises around him, but Viserys stood up and stopped looking.
He was not worried that he would be in danger when attacked by such a monster. Such a monster could not kill him, so Viserys was relatively not that afraid.
Then the silver-haired young man squeezed out of the crowd again and returned to his tent.
Wow——
Viserys opened the curtain, and Mia was waiting for him inside.
"came back?"
The red-haired girl asked.
She didn't ask where Viserys went. Everyone has their own secrets. She knew this from the day she became a mercenary.
"Um."
Viserys nodded slightly.
There is also a reason why he is willing to stay with Mia. Mia is not as delicate as other girls, but appears to be very capable and decisive. She does not need anyone's protection because she can protect herself.
Even say something not nice...
Viserys felt that Mia didn't even look like a girl, because there was no other girl who didn't think of herself as a 'girl' like her.
"How is the situation outside?"
Mia was silent for a moment, and when she saw that Viserys didn't take the initiative to tell her where he had just gone, she knew that he didn't want to tell her.
"A monster bit a man to death."
"fine."
Viserys shook his head slightly.
"Go on to sleep."
"That monster is not very courageous. It does not dare to sneak into the camp."
"oh."
After hearing Viserys' words, Mia blinked slightly and then nodded.
"good."
She trusted Viserys's judgment because he had saved her life in the gray fog.
Although she didn't know what kind of monster Viserys was talking about, with him here, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Then the girl continued to get back into the sleeping bag, lying on her side next to Viserys and looking at him with her eyes.
Then it quickly closed.
...
Early the next morning.
Smoke rises from the cooking pot, the sound of iron pots clashing and the stirring of large spatulas emit a fragrant aroma.
Although Viserys would definitely not eat such a meal on a normal day, it would still be a bit more difficult under current circumstances.
After all, there are good ingredients but no good chefs. It would be nice to have a hot meal while exploring such a dangerous forbidden area.
If it weren't for the large number of people involved in this operation, and no one knew how long it would last, it might have been hard work.
Viserys didn't know how the tragedy that happened last night ended, but when he woke up during the day, the body was gone, and even the blood stains on the ground had disappeared.
As if nothing had happened.
Viserys and Mia each carried a large bowl of stew and simply finished their breakfast.
Then the commander on the other side gave the order to assemble.
Wilder Meguirre was still sitting on his horse in military uniform, and he spoke a few words in a loud voice.
But instead of talking about honor and the city-state like his uncle, he told these mercenaries nakedly...
Get the money.
It seems that Wilder understands better what these people need, and a few simple words boosted their morale.
What does Volantis want?
They want dragon eggs, how to make Valyrian steel, how to cut and build blackstone, books about magic, etc...
They were even willing to give up precious Valyrian steel weapons, claiming that whoever found them would own them, and Volantis would protect his legitimate wealth.
And if someone finds a dragon egg, they must hand it over.
But Volantis will also not treat the other party badly, and the city-state will pay a large amount of money as a reward.
