The sun was shining.
Rincewind, on the other hand, was tired. After lunch, he couldn't keep up his sleepiness. Unfortunately, Miss Daisy had finally woken up.
This was not the key point, the key point was that after she woke up, Miss Daisy heard the maids beside her constantly telling her the story of how the great young master Cohen descended from the sky like a legendary hero, and how he could deal with the huge beast tide by relying solely on his own strength.
Thus, Lin Ke's ears no longer had a moment of peace.
"Big brother, how did you descend from the sky? Tell me! Tell me!"
"Big brother, how exactly did you expel the beast tide?"
"Big brother, what does that magical beast from hell look like?"
"Big brother …"
"Daisy, my dear sister, my brother is begging you," said Rincewind, almost spiritually, for no matter how much he denied telling her the truth, she... None of them believed...
"Did you see those two huge dark circles under your eyes?" Rincewind began to act pathetic.
Daisy's big eyes were almost close to Link's face as she looked it over carefully.
"I didn't see it!"
"…" Lin Ke's vision went black, and he inwardly cursed why he couldn't faint on the ground at such a crucial moment.
"Xue'er!" Lin Ke was almost moved to tears when he saw Xue'er and Lilisse appear before him. In a flash, he picked up the hope of living once again and grabbed Daisy's small hand, placing it in hers. "Your big sister Xue'er has always been by my side, right, Xue'er?"
Xue'er, who had just woken up, was still at a loss. Hearing that, she nodded doubtfully and said, "That's right, what's the matter?"
"That's great, Daisy. You heard it, big brother has never lied to you, if there are any details you don't understand, you can ask Lily, Lily has been watching them all this time, oh my god, I'm so tired, it's really hard to imagine what I went through last night," Link's performance was a bit exaggerated, but it made Daisy's eyes light up like two little suns. He ignored the stunned Xue'er and Lily, and quickly ran away with Neil.

When Linke woke up, it was already night.
He ate some of the fine food Burton had brought him, but it tasted almost nothing.
The night passed in silence.
When he woke up the next day, Rincewind couldn't recall everything that had happened the night before. Fortunately, the castle was safe enough and there weren't any more accidents.
Stretching his back, he felt much better.
He finally had time to explore the ancient castle. Although everyone who passed by Linke respectfully saluted, none of them knew that Linke had returned for the third time, so he decided to find a tour guide.
Burton was out of sight for the time being, for he was busy writing letters to the chief of the Rhine family and Lady Selina. As for Brooke? Whether or not he knew the way to Ettemberg was a problem, even if he had been here more than once. Cheryl and Lilith were ordered to hold Daisy for themselves, Neil? Link turned to look at him and shook his head.
Just when Lin Ke was worrying, one after another impudent young maidservants ran out with a basin in their hands, looking like they were about to splash dirty water. When she looked up and saw Lin Ke standing there, it was already too late.
As a result, the liquid in the basin dripped drop by drop onto Linke's snow-white robes. He only had enough time to cover his face …
"You … "What's your name?" Linke's interest was also extinguished by a basin of water.
"Section... "Young Master Cohen …" The maid was terrified and immediately sat down on the ground. Her eyes were lifeless, as if she had received a blow from a magic spell.
Lin Ke immediately lost all interest in talking to her. Just as he turned around and was about to return to his residence with Neil, the voice of a maid came from behind him.
"Master Cohen, my name is Jinx. My name is Jinx. Please remember me!"
Linke "..."
After changing his clothes, Link no longer had the interest to walk around in the castle alleyway, so he just went along the city wall and arrived at the east end of the castle where the huge windmill was, carrying the highest building in the entire castle, from the inner stairs to the top floor, there was a very human-like small platform, enough to accommodate three or four people standing, and at this moment, there was only him and Neil.
Looking down at the castle from above, he found that the road was divided into different sizes by the round buildings, one after another, and because of their similar architectural styles, they had created a seemingly uniform house, which was enough to make the newcomers unable to distinguish anything.
He could not help but sigh with emotion. The walls and main buildings of the entire castle were made of such a large piece of solid stone, which was inconceivable in the era of cold weapons in his previous life. Even in this era where science and technology were highly developed, humans with countless advanced equipment needed an unimaginable investment in order to complete such a castle.
However, this castle situated in a remote valley at the edge of the empire still existed without any problems.
Link secretly warned himself that he couldn't judge this world by how he thought about it in his previous life. Otherwise, what awaited him would be an unfathomable disaster in the future.
This was an even more magical and completely different world.
The wind was stronger, so it couldn't cover the sun.
The next day, Linke and his party resumed their journey.
At the end of the day, Rincewind had lost his way three times and had lost interest in a basin of water, which made Burton somewhat sorry.
After experiencing a chaotic battle, everyone except Daisy was not very interested in the hunt. However, Linke felt that it was necessary to fulfill his promise to Daisy, so they were somewhat unwilling to give up halfway through a good hunt.
Fortunately, most of them were not seriously injured. Brooke himself only suffered minor superficial wounds. After resting for two days, he had basically recovered, and the group slowed down their pace.
Nanako was already very close to Lan Shan.
When the caravan left, they abandoned all the large carriages, only leaving some small carriages carrying goods. Everyone was riding a horse.
It was worth mentioning that perhaps it was because during that night of the "fight side by side", the big black horse displayed an especially intimate attitude towards Link. Originally, it would always deliberately not listen to his commands to "bully" him, a newcomer in the world of horse riding, but now it had cooperated very well, causing him to feel extremely pleased with himself.
Of course, if it weren't for Miss Daisy constantly galloping around him, it would have felt even better.
"Look, brother, you're going to hold the horse's belly with your legs like this!"
"Look here, you better be serious. Don't hold the reins too tightly!"
Linke was fiddled around like a puppet, and was forced to watch Miss Daisy's standard action demonstration from time to time …
"Grandpa Seven, I think you should keep an eye on her," Rincewind said to Heller, who rode beside him as easily as if he were sitting in a chair. "She should be like a real lady."
"That's good."
Linke "..."
"Young Master, the speed at which you're improving on your riding skills is related to the selfless teaching that Miss Daisy did." Xue'er couldn't help but secretly laugh, even Lily, who didn't like to show her emotions, curled her lips.
"Uncle Brooke, are your injuries really alright?" Link said to Brooke, who was walking at the front of the line.
"Of course, you boys who have never been to a battlefield before will never know how magnificent old Brooke was back then in the army. This little injury is nothing, even if it was ten times more serious than this, it still wouldn't be able to do anything to me!"
Brooke spoke with incomparable heroism, but Link could see the corner of Heller's mouth twitch from the corner of his mouth.
"Daisy, don't run too far!" This little girl had become more and more lively after she had left the Wind City, just like a little bird. She had become the most worrisome existence in the team.
Laughter along the way, the beautiful scenery along the way, they had unknowingly arrived at the center of Lan Shan.
The green that filled his eyes created a large shadow, making the light in the entire forest seem insufficient.
There were huge trees everywhere that required several people to encircle them. Some were straight into the sky, some were curved and others were tree after tree. From afar, it looked like there was a layer of green carpet covering the ground.
Taking a closer look, the short shrubs covered most of the empty ground, mixed with some strange little flowers and grass, Ling Lang's eyes were all filled with dizzying beauty.
No one knew that Lin Ke came to the Lan Mountain Hunt to 'travel' even more. Having already seen this world's natural environment, he was filled with confidence towards the scenery here, which could not be described with words.
Indeed.
At this point, there was no longer a complete path to take, not even a path like this. Sometimes, the guards had to dismount from their horses and use their sabers to cut a path in order to continue forward.
"Look, there's a stream!" Daisy sat on the horse and saw a small stream not far away. There were not many shrubs covering the area near the stream, so it was much more flat.
"Even if there are prey, you scared Daisy away. Don't make a fuss, we are here to hunt," Linke said to Daisy helplessly.
Daisy lowered her head in embarrassment and then spoke in the softest voice she could muster, "Big brother, can we go play by the stream?"
Link didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Let's go over and take a look," Brooke said. "We came a little bit late, if it's early in the morning and we can set up a few little ambushes while the animals are drinking, then we can also wait for some small animals if we're lucky. Right now, there probably aren't any small animals that can come out and drink," he was clearly an expert hunter, and once he opened his mouth he couldn't stop talking, "Wind City isn't interested in keeping hunting dogs, which hunters in our hometown don't have a few very intelligent hunting dogs?" Don't worry if the arrow landed, just let the hound pounce on it, it's way faster than humans in this jungle, "he said as he used a huge sword that erupted with fiery red battle qi to cut the vines in his way," Now, we have a large group of people, even if we run into a berserk beast or even a magical beast, we have to carefully hide and watch on the side, there's a good chance that they won't hit anything good.
"It's still possible," Rincewind interrupted, seeing how much Brooke had discouraged him, especially when he saw that Daisy was in such a hurry that she was still looking forward to hunting down a few Whirlwind foxes. "If it doesn't work out, we'll have to break up and hunt some things to get back," Rincewind signaled to Xue'er.
"That's right, unless all the wild beasts in Lan Shan had hidden down to the ground, there would be harvest no matter what." Xue'er immediately agreed. This time, Daisy's expression had eased up a lot, otherwise, if she were to explode here, it would be really terrifying.
"There's something by the creek," Neil whispered.
Everyone immediately became nervous.
