"Groundhog" Cole looked out the window with some anxiety.

Although the snow never ended in this damn place, and the sky was as sloppy and gray as the sheets that his grandmother hadn't washed for years, he had another way of telling the hour.

That is the training of the militia. Weather permitting, they would run through the square in the center of town every day at 8 o'clock, as the idiots had done before the Evil Moon and were still doing so. Don't these people know that the most important thing in winter is to save your strength? When you really want to run for your life, you will probably have to beg the gods to give you two more legs. But thanks to these idiots, he was able to determine the approximate time of his departure.

That's right, he wants to escape from this enchanted town! Although His Royal Highness the Second Prince's order is to keep him lurking in the border town, observing the movements of the fourth prince, Roland Wimbledon, and passing the information back to Golden Spike City, he doesn't want to stay any longer.

I'm afraid that in another half a month, I will become a sacrifice to the devil along with the inhabitants of this place.

This is by no means alarmist!

Ever since the onset of winter, strange things have been happening here that no one else may have noticed - not surprisingly, the townspeople are mostly uninformed hillbillies who care about nothing but food, not even the gods. But he is different, he is a "groundhog" Cole! Listening to information and stealing information are all good skills, so His Royal Highness Tifeco will find himself to do this kind of thing.

The walls that broke through the ground overnight, and the iron rods that made strange noises and knocked down evil beasts, of course, were not as amazing as his most astonishing discoveries.

The four princes of the dignified kingdom are openly raising witches!

Is there anything more exaggerated than the mercy of God? If it weren't for the prince's possession of the devil, he would not have thought of any other explanation!

Even if the prince wanted to try witches and play with them in the castle, it wasn't the first time Cole had heard of nobles hiding witches - these witches who could be played with and ignored when they died were very suitable for some nobles with strange tastes, but it was another matter to make them public.

This is not his delusion, but he has seen it with his own eyes!

In line with the principle of doing things for whomever takes money, every day when the snow is not heavy, Cole will walk around the city wall, where he can often see the figure of the fourth prince. He had already wondered what had given this incompetent prince the courage to stay in the Frontier instead of running back to the fortress of Changge, but now he understood that Roland Wimbledon had already been replaced by the devil!

He saw the walls of the city breached by a huge beast, the devil struck it with a thunderclap, and then the swarming beasts were engulfed in the flames of hell summoned by a witch, and finally the witch fell into the prince's arms, and no one in the entire militia questioned it!

He then heard other rumors in his neighborhood that there was a witch with healing powers. What is the difference between being treated by a witch and receiving the corruption of the devil?

Cole had made up his mind two days earlier, when he saw a witch fly out of the prince's castle, circle the castle twice, and fly back. The priest of the church often said that a witch could only gain one power after being tempted by the devil, and he at least saw fire and flight, and the rumors of healing witches meant that there were three witches gathered in this small town!

There is no doubt that the Devil has turned the Lord's Castle into a lair of evil gatherings, and the inhabitants of this place are gradually under his control, and he must escape from it as soon as possible. Anyway, he holds the secret of building the border city wall quickly, as long as he gives this alchemy powder stolen from the city wall to the second prince, he will not only not punish himself, but will reward him heavily.

The more Cole thought about it, the more he regretted why he hadn't returned to the fortress with the evacuated nobles.

If you want to get out of this place now, it will definitely not work by land, and the wind and snow that will last all winter will cover the road completely. His only chance was to leave by water through the merchant ships in Willow Leaf Town.

Cole observes that on the first day of each month, the Willow Leaf ship arrives with food, and after two to three hours of unloading and loading, it hoists its sails and leaves the docks. He had to get on board at this time, or he would have to wait for the next month.

And today, it happens to be the first day of the month.

"One, two, three, four, one, two, three, four," just then, Cole heard a familiar slogan. Outside the window, a group of young men in brown leather armor ran by in high spirits, and if he hadn't seen through the devil's plot a long time ago, he would definitely have been deceived by this vigorous scene.

It's time to go, he thought.

Putting on his fur coat and fastening his coat, Cole stepped out of the cabin. The neighbor was collecting dried fish outside the house, and when he saw him, he greeted him, "Go out so early?"

It must be said that although the lords of the border towns were controlled by the devil, the lives of these fools were much better, and they dared to hang dried fish outside their houses - you must know that if people are extremely hungry, they can swallow even dried fish that is as hard as a stone.

But Cole didn't have time to respond, he looked at the militia that had disappeared to the west, and walked straight in the direction of the docks. The inhabitants of this area regard him as the younger brother of Iron Oar, who has come from Shenlongling to visit his relatives - of course, he is talking nonsense. Before taking out the Iron Oar, he asked for the other man's name and address, and pretended to be his younger brother. As for the casually made up identity, he didn't care if those idiots believed it or not.

The snow on the cobblestone road had been swept away a few days ago, and now it was almost past the vamps of the shoes. He kept his pace at an equidistant pace, conserving as much energy as possible - he was not worried about the footprints left behind, and the snow would cover them again in a day at most. Maybe when they get to Golden Spike City, they will still be in the dark.

As he approached the docks, Cole saw the long-awaited Willow Leaf sailboat.

Sacks of wheat were being carried out of the cabin, guarded by guards. He felt in his pocket, and there were two golden dragons and sixteen silver wolves inside, which were all his belongings. There were six guards, and the silver wolf probably couldn't look down on it, and the golden dragon didn't have enough points, so he had to keep his eyes on the porters. The pile-up of cargo provides a blind spot, and stuns a porter in his place for what he is good at. If he could get on board the ship, he believed that the captain would hide him and take him away when he was tempted by the golden dragon.

Just as Cole was about to act, a shout rang out behind him.

He secretly said that something was wrong in his heart, and when he turned around, he saw several militia members rushing in his direction, and there were also people on his side who were approaching him, obviously he had been surrounded.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, Cole immediately raised his hands and fell to his knees. Do your own business, don't stubbornly resist, as long as you spit out all the news of your employer, you can generally be safe and sound, or...... They will also re-hire themselves at a higher price.

How much money to take, how much to do is also the principle of "groundhog" Cole.

It's just that he doesn't understand, how did he get discovered?
