Before she could react, the visitor put his finger to his mouth and made a "shh" gesture to her.

Artolis saw clearly the appearance of the person who came. He was a young man with an average appearance, messy hair, and fair and yellow skin. Artoris knew him, and he knew Artolis.

Three years ago, a rebellion broke out in the northwest of the British Kingdom, so the royal family sent the knights led by Kodores to quell the rebellion. On the way, they passed a small mountain village called Zhifeng Village. The leader refused to let Artolis go to the battlefield, so he settled her in this village.

In the village, Artolis met Gawain. Gawain, like himself, is an orphan. Perhaps because of this, the two of them get along particularly well. Gawain let Artolis live in his own home. His home was an old wooden house with only one bed. Gawain gave his bed to Artolis and built a simple shed to sleep outside. He stayed there for a year and a half. The name Gawain is like a little light in the darkness, but at this time, it is Atoris's biggest support.

Artolis noticed that Gawain was very nervous at this time. Sweat fell from his forehead and fell on Artolis. His face seemed a little pale, which was obviously a sign of having just experienced strenuous exercise.

Even so, Gawain still endured it and did not dare to show any anger. Just when Artolis looked confused, she saw a tall figure passing by with a "swish" sound beside the two of them, and all the reeds suddenly fell to one side.

Artoris didn't see clearly what it was, but she clearly felt an invisible pressure coming and disappearing in an instant. She clearly felt that Gawain's heart was beating very fast just now, but now it calmed down again. Artolis could guess that the pressure was not just for her. It was obvious that Gawain had the same feeling.

Gawain was basically pressed against Artolis, and both of them could feel each other's breathing and heartbeat. When the pressure left, Artolis quickly pushed Gawain away and got up. Gawain seemed to be relieved and sat down on the ground.

After the two calmed down for a while, Artolis said: "Why are you here? Could it be that Zhi Feng Village was also..." Hearing this, Gawain sighed.

After learning about the fall of Camelot, the nearby villages began to move the next day to avoid the disaster. Zhifeng Village is naturally one of them. Unfortunately, Gawain and the others encountered the enemy's army during their migration, and as a result, most of the villagers became prisoners.

Gawain stretched out his right hand, and the next moment, blue flames appeared in his palm. Artoris was not surprised by this.

Gawain is a rare genius in Zhifeng Village for a century, because he has the ability to control blue flames. If there is anyone in the village who can become a magician one day, then that person will definitely be Gawain. Having special abilities may not necessarily make you a magician, but without special abilities, you cannot become a magician anyway. At least Gawain has this capital.

The villagers of Zhifeng Village do whatever it takes to prevent Gawain from falling into the hands of the enemy.

Gawain clenched his fists so hard that his nails were embedded in his flesh, and his hands were instantly stained red by the blood flowing out. If he is a magician, if he is powerful enough! How could the people around me be harmed?

After hearing what Gawain said, Artolis felt very uncomfortable. The experiences of the two were so similar that Artoris thought of the Knights again. Although the villagers of Zhifeng Village were taken prisoner, at least they were still alive, but the knights...

"The Knights are gone!"

"What!" After hearing what Artoris said, Gawain jumped up immediately. Upon seeing Artoris's sullen face, Gawain knew that she was not playing tricks on him.

"What's going on? Can you tell me?"

So Artolis told the whole story of the matter, of course omitting the part about the sword spirit. When Artoris spoke of the destruction of the Knights, Gawain gritted his teeth. The Kelid Knights were kind to them, so how could they end up like this? Damn war! Gawain couldn't help but sigh. Now it can be said that the two of them are the same fallen people in the world...

After saying so much, Artolis then recalled, "What was that thing that just passed by? It had such a strong aura."

Hearing this, Gawain frowned. When he saw Artolis, he was so surprised that he actually forgot about it! Without answering, Gawain took Artolis's hand.

"It's not safe here. You have to get out of here quickly."

"Are the enemy troops coming after you?" Artolis felt baffled by Gawain's sudden nervousness.

"No, she is scarier than the enemy."

"She? Who is it?" Artolis was confused. She really didn't understand what Gawain was talking about, so she had to break free from his hand.

Suddenly a strong pressure came, and Artolis groaned and subconsciously pushed Gawain away from her. The next moment, a huge tail passed between the two people and slammed onto the ground. In just an instant, a ravine appeared where the two of them were standing. The ravine was two meters long and half a meter wide, but Artolis had no time to pay attention to the ravine on the ground.

A tall figure stood between the two of them, and the memory was spinning rapidly. The next moment, a name appeared in Artolis's mind.

"Gorgon!" they both exclaimed at the same time.

Gorgon is a legendary monster with the head of a human and the body of a snake. It is said that its appearance is extremely ugly. Obviously, the guy in front of him meets all the characteristics of Gorgon. But doesn’t the Gorgon only exist in folklore?

Not allowing Atoris to think too much, Gorgon struck with his giant tail and struck again. After hesitating for a moment, Artolis had no time to dodge. One tail hit Atoris, and she felt a strong force coming. The next moment, Atoris flew out like a cannonball.

Atoris was swept deep into the reeds, and Gorgon ignored Gawain and pursued her without saying a word.

"Oops!" Gawain hurriedly climbed up, and at some point a wooden stick appeared in his hand. I didn't expect to catch up so soon! He didn't think that Atoris would be beaten to death like this. Atoris wore metal armor, which at least had a defensive effect. But if Gorgon launches a follow-up attack, the consequences will be disastrous.

Artoris felt the energy and blood in her body rolling. In fact, the blow just now did not cause much damage to her. It was just a small blow that knocked her to the ground and was a little confused...
