Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 284 Delicious Breakfast

Stannis was awakened from his sleep, the cold in the morning was extremely biting, and he, who had not closed his eyes all day and night, fell asleep quietly on horseback without knowing it.

Waking up from the cold, he pulled the blanket over his body a little tighter, and glanced at the Southern Cross star that has not yet been dimmed. Unlike navigators in this world who use the Big Dipper to identify directions, the Southern Cross star is The most dazzling constellation in the western sky.

Seeing that the constellation due south is still directly in front of him, it seems that Stannis was not led astray by the horse while he was asleep.

Stannis got up from the saddle to move his stiff bones, and found that there was a forest not far away, which meant that there should be a lake and firewood there, so he could burn some hot water to cook some food and take a rest.

He made up his mind, and immediately rode his horse to head there. According to the map in his mind, he could reach Oak Town before noon at the current speed, which was half a day faster than the deadline Anya set for him.

The three horses walked slowly into the forest at the same time, Stannis slid off the horses, and first looked around vigilantly to make sure that there were no bandits in ambush.After making sure that no strongman cut the trail, Stannis sat under the big tree in peace and took off the boots that were almost stuck to his feet.

He breathed in the fresh air comfortably. Early morning is indeed the most pleasant time. He was going to find something to eat. The tortillas in the grain bag had already made his mouth almost foamy. He thought hungrily Find something tasty to satisfy your hunger, preferably fresh.

Thinking this way, he raised his head to see if there was any wild game around for him to hunt, but it seemed that his luck was not very good. Not a single animal appeared in the early morning, and he seemed to know that as long as his head appeared, he would be killed by this human. Grilled and eaten.

"Day, even if you want to improve the food!" Stannis complained loudly.

But as if to answer him, a rook, stripped and gutted, was thrown from behind the bushes.

But this doesn't look like it can improve the food, it's more like a... warning.

"Who!" Stannis' sense of fatigue disappeared immediately. He put his hand on the hilt and turned around to draw it out, but he stopped halfway through the sword.

A person who hadn't seen her for a long time fell gently from the sky, just right in front of him, and he never expected to see her here.

The one who hates and wants to kill him, Evelyn.

This ominous crow.

There are so many beauties in Westland that make him linger, but Stannis is the only one who doesn't have the slightest thought of her in front of him, not only her pair of eyes that can kill, but also the grievances between her and her predecessor Stan. who know nothing about it.

"Long time no see, Yuu..." Before the word YO could be heard, the cold blade popped out of the crow's sleeve and pressed against Stannis' neck, causing him to splatter blood on the spot as long as he made a slight movement.

"I told you not to call me like that." The woman's voice was so cold that Stannis was about to pee in fear.

If it was someone else's words, he could still make some sense, but for the woman in front of him, he knew that it would be futile to say anything, because he estimated that she would cut his throat with a sword without hesitation, or tie herself to a fire pit Serve on the grill.

"Ms. Evelyn." Stannis immediately changed his tone, "It's an honor to meet you in this... small forest. You didn't follow me all the way here, did you?"

The crow withdrew his Hidden Blade, and said unabashedly: "That's right, I'm following you."

Seeing that the other party admitted so generously, Stannis became the one who was in the wrong. He had no choice but to put his hand on the sword to regain his position, and his murderous aura scared the birds away.

"How do you know where I'm going? And wait for me here!"

To Evelyn, who had killed countless people, his murderous aura was obviously just a child's play. The woman just smiled disdainfully, signaling him to take back this little trick.

"Of course the people around you told me." She actually said this information openly.

"What, there is a young man by my side who dares to betray me, give me his name, and I will chop him up!" Stannis roared wildly, making no one doubt his iron fist against the traitor.

"It's Robert." Evelyn didn't mind saying the name of her informant.

Stannis was speechless for a while, he didn't know that these two people were so close in private.

"It's not so much that he betrayed you, but that he took the initiative to ask me to protect you along the way."

Stannis was completely confused, protecting himself?Why protect yourself?I was just looking for people and not making big news.

"Are you going to Oaktown?"

"Yes?" Stannis curiously agreed, is there a ban on going to that place?
"My destination is also there, so I can protect you so that you can reach there alive."

This answer made Stannis' jaw drop in surprise, he wouldn't really drop in with her, would he?
"Sister, don't play tricks on me anymore! I'm really looking for someone, very urgent!" Stannis begged, and the few times she spent alone with Evelyn were all played around by her, not by her. To cheat as a bait is to instigate to step on landmines. Stannis admits that his IQ is not the opponent of this girl who is younger than him.

Evelyn didn't answer him, she just reached into her bulging chest and took out a roll of notices that still had her body temperature on them and threw them at Stannis.

"I am going to Oak Town to carry out a deadly mission according to the imperial edict. I have the right to mobilize all human and material resources in the empire. Is it okay to let you be my entourage?"

This woman really showed a ferocious face, and now I want to be bound to her forcibly, but this is indeed the last thing Stannis wants to happen, every second with Evelyn makes him feel uncomfortable .

"Don't you take a look? His Majesty the Pope seldom gives orders in person." Evelyn teased him as if making him deliberately upset.

Stannis didn't even bother to open the notice. Anyway, he couldn't understand the ancient Erathian words in it. He felt that he would never be able to escape this woman's clutches for the rest of his life. It was all the fault of that bastard Stan!

He had no choice but to say: "Okay, Miss Evelyn, as your entourage, I sincerely want to know when is the best time for us to set off?"

Evelyn didn't move, she just pointed at the crow she had killed before and said with a smile.

"After you finish your breakfast."
