Seeing that the clopping sounds outside the forest didn't come from Mage Atiyas's Jun Ying, Kovis felt a weight lift off his shoulders.
But the two familiar figures pursuing him also brought some surprise.
Leon dismounted, asked Azeryan to hold the reins, and quickly walked into the forest where he found a blond youth preparing to dig a hole.
"So, this urgent matter of yours, it's not about burying treasure in the woods next to the road?" Leon asked, puzzled.
"How did you all follow me?" Kovis said sheepishly.
"Because it looks like some fool is planning to sacrifice himself to attract the enemy's pursuit," Leon teased bluntly.
"It's not as noble as you put it."
When his feeble pretext was exposed, the blond youth gave a resigned smile, glanced at the shovel and crystal stone in his hand, and looked up, "It's just that I miscalculated. That guy is after me, and I don't want to drag you all into this irrelevant conflict."
