Chapter 3 Deserters

"You mean, Losente is defeated?!"

"Yes, because of this a while ago, so many deserters and refugees who couldn't survive came to the kingdom of Sauron. "The bearded man didn't know how this mage from Icewind Castle could have such a big reaction.

- Does he have any relatives in Lotsente?

Although he thinks so, a businessman who is good at human feelings will not ask.

Charlotte's face was very ugly, and he unconsciously took out the coin and flipped it in his palm, "So what's the situation now?"

The middle-aged man of the eight-character beard became more and more sure of his inference, but he was also helpless about this question, "I'm sorry, my lord." This is not something that a small businessman in my country can know. ”

Charlotte frowned and nodded, and then he noticed that the group of mercenaries were pushing the captives to the ground with their backs tied, and a young mercenary, presumably a dead brother, held a cold corpse and shouted 'brother', and after a while, he wiped away the tears on his dusty face, took a dagger from his waist and walked towards a captive.

The man tried to run away in terror, but was pinned to the ground by two tall mercenaries. The mercenaries around him silently patted the young man on the shoulder and made way for him. Blinded by hatred, the mercenary walked up to the desperately struggling captive and cried out for mercy, pulling at the man's hair like a pig, exposing his neck to the scorching heat.

Then the young mercenary walked up to the captive's side and sliced his captive's throat like a carpenter with a dagger covered with fine serrations.

"Rao-cluck......"

The captive had barely uttered half a word before a hen howled from his throat. The mercenary continued to pull mercilessly, and the gushing blood splattered several meters away. The captive, who had not yet died, twitched and struggled with all his might, his gray eyes full of despair and fear.

Soon, the captive's struggle turned into intermittent convulsions. At this moment, there was only a bit of flesh attached to his neck, and the young mercenary pulled it hard and lifted up part of the white spine.

The blood that had been gushing out of pressure probably lost its pressure and fell on the blazing Gobi land. The young mercenary roared in anger, and then laughed and laughed so tearfully that it was miserable and desolate.

Seeing this scene, Vivian couldn't bear to close her eyes, and Lolita, who frowned uncomfortably, held her hand tightly, and only Elle was still scratching and watching everything with interest.

Charlotte's brow furrowed even deeper.

Murder pays for his life, debts are repaid, even if he is related to the royal family of Lotsente, and even nominally has the right to inherit Lotent, but he does not want to stop the young man from venting.

But when the mercenaries wanted to continue killing, Charlotte spoke.

"Everyone, please wait a moment. ”

In many cases, mercenaries are described as vulgar, undeceiving, fond of causing trouble, provocative when they see beautiful women, and killing people if they disagree. Although the facts are not much different, in fact, mercenaries and adventurers are also the ones who rely most on their eyesight to eat.

Anyone who licks blood from the knife knows who can provoke and what kind of trouble must be endured. For example, now, the mercenaries who have seen Elle and Lolita shoot naturally dare not put up any fight against Charlotte.

Fools know that the disciples are so powerful, how bad can the teacher be.

So when Charlotte spoke, the leader of the mercenaries quietly pulled the young man with the captive's head behind him, and then gave a deep salute to the nobles of the commoners.

The surrounding mercenaries faintly hid the young man behind him and bowed as well. As Charlotte passed, the mercenaries retreated like an ocean parted by Moses.

"I'm sorry!" the leader of the mercenaries saw Charlotte walk in front of him, and hurriedly pressed the young man's head behind him, almost making his forehead close to his knees, "He just died brother, my lord!

Charlotte didn't answer immediately, he looked at the captives. The remaining three looked horrified, looking at Charlotte with a mixture of anticipation and fear.

The mage thought for a moment and took out a dozen silver coins from his bosom. I flipped it and put it back for a few gold coins.

"You don't need to apologize, I can understand that. He spread his hand, a gesture that startled the mercenary leader, "I know that human life is priceless, but please forgive me for trying to redeem their lives." ”

The mercenary leader looked at his deputy, and the two looked at each other. The former swore that he had never seen such a mage, and generally speaking, even a mage with a little strength would ignore them, let alone make such a move, even if they were the so-called inferior people who begged for a living on the tip of the knife.

The deputy alerted the leader with his elbow, who immediately waved his hand in a panic.

"No, you don't have to ...... at all"

"Take it, and the brothers' families need to settle properly, right?" Charlotte slipped the gold into the chief's hand and patted him on the shoulder, "If you can, can you leave me some personal space? ”

"You're really...... That's so generous!" the unrelenting leader bowed convincingly.

Without the leader's order, all the mercenaries spontaneously formed a circle, with their backs to Charlotte in the center. It not only leaves enough space for him to be private, but also prevents others from disturbing his inquiry. Even when their employer, a middle-aged man with a bearded beard, came over curiously, he was politely asked to leave by the mercenaries.

This made Charlotte feel a lot of emotion.

People living at the bottom of society may not be as ignorant and vulgar as the aristocracy proclaims, and in many cases, they are even more noble than the glamorous nobility. A little bit of respect can earn them their approval.

Charlotte stared at the three captives, who bowed his head in a state of despair, not daring to meet the mage's deep scarlet eyes. It is rumored that the mages possess all kinds of wonderful abilities, some of them can even conduct live experiments, and those rumors that the mages have even actively promoted have caused the captives to think nonsense.

"You've done something wrong. Charlotte crouched down, not fast or slow, "In Erossa, deserters will bear the shame of cowards for the rest of their lives. ”

This sentence may have touched their hearts, and the three men could no longer hold on, sobbing and crying like children.

"It seems that you still have a conscience, tell me why you fled to the kingdom of Sauron, why you abandoned your honor and became a robber. ”

The sobbing continued, Charlotte did not urge, and her conscience waited. After a while, one of the youngest guys finally couldn't hold back and replied with a loud cry.

"We can't do it! Hotson invaded us, and the general told us that we would win. But when they went to the battlefield, everything didn't materialize. I don't know what's going on, it's chaos on the battlefield, people are dying everywhere, everyone is just running for their lives, I'm just instinctively running away! I saved my life, but I didn't keep my hometown. In the end, the captain said to take us to Sauron to beg for a living, but we had no food, so we had to rob! Iβ€”I want to go homeβ€”"

The ominous message was confirmed, and Charlotte could no longer struggle to keep her composure. He took the man by the shoulder, and asked in a loud voice, "Tell me!" What happened to Lotsent, Archduke Herbert! And Lady Nivea, Hibbert (Herbert's eldest son), Brent, Nell, Ivy (Herbert's daughter), ......! What happened to them?"

Charlotte said a dozen names in a row, all of which were members of the Leslie family.

"I don't know, I don't know...... Losente was defeated, my hometown was gone, and I didn't dare to go back, I only knew how to run ......"

"Are you Her Highness Charlotte!?" the older captive next to him suddenly asked, "Yes, I've heard of your fame, and they all say that you are the dragon slayer of the water capital, the youngest master in the history of Icewind Castle, and the future king of the North!"

Charlotte was stunned, "How do you know about me?"

"Your exploits in the water capital have spread throughout the Valcam Continent, and they all say that you are the legendary dragon slayer, the future king of the north who will lead Erosa and Icewind Castle, and the bard who writes poems about your power and wisdom. Silver-haired noble mages, young masters and young ladies who are familiar with the royal family of Lotent, who else but you? You, will you bring the heroes of the north to save Lotsunte?!"

Charlotte was stunned.

The world is changing.

Unconsciously, the big duke's troublemaker, who once dreamed of flirting with a good girl, inheriting a lot of wealth, and being a corrupt aristocracy, has grown into a legendary hero praised by everyone in the Valcam continent!
