It has to be said that Lanka was very careful in the selection of carriages, which can be seen from the horses that are the driving force. The two horses galloping in front of them were quite strong, and even after galloping with a heavy carriage for such a long time, they did not get tired at all, and this kind of endurance was no problem even if it was used as war horses.

The reason why she is preparing so seriously is completely so that Anya can see her family as soon as possible, or so that Nina can see her sister as soon as possible, although there is no difference in terms of results, but from the starting point there is a big difference, the former is out of kindness, and the latter is out of small selfishness. Of course, either way is not the point here.

The wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery on both sides of the road was quickly thrown behind me. In the slightly bumpy carriage, Anya and Yir sat opposite each other, and if both of them looked straight ahead, it would inevitably lead to eye contact, so in order to avoid this embarrassing situation, Anya looked out the window the whole time. The atmosphere in the whole carriage seemed quite peaceful, although Il found a few light topics along the way, but every time he spoke, it was only himself, and Anya just looked out the window quietly and did not make any response.

I must have left the King's Road and entered the bumpy dirt road, and the shaking of the carriage began to become violent, and even holding the handle with both hands made it feel like the body was jumping up and down, not to mention Anlia, who was in a weak state with only one arm, and it was really difficult to maintain the posture of sitting in the seat.

Fortunately, this bumpy journey only lasted for a short time, and with the shouts of the soldiers driving the car, the carriage slowly stopped.

"We're here!"

Il, who looked quite excited, opened the door and jumped off before the carriage could stop. Anlia looked out the window at the familiar sights that hadn't changed much since she could remember, and suddenly wondered if she had just had a nightmare, maybe she went back to her bed when she opened her eyes, but unfortunately, when she closed her eyes and opened them again, she was still in the carriage, and the arm that had been lost forever told her that everything was true, so her eyes became moist.

The villagers, who were on guard in the village, had already informed the village chief of the approaching carriage, and the village chief was coming with several villagers to greet the visitors.

"Yo, guys, long time no see."

Seeing his somewhat familiar face, Il greeted him in a very hearty voice.

"Oh, this isn't Il, welcome, welcome."

The village chief, who was worried about the intentions of the comer, saw that it was Il who had disembarked from the carriage, and his expression was visibly relaxed.

"Brother Iir! Have you come back to see us? ”

Kilo, who came out of nowhere, ran up to Il with an excited face.

"Kilo, how are you doing?"

Ilr patted Kilo's head gently.

"Kilo, where are you going? Ah, Iir! ”

Nina, who was running after Kilo, was startled at first when she saw Il, and then smiled softly.

"Nina! I miss your cooking, even though the food in the city is even better. ”

As if seeing food, his eyes lit up, and Il ran towards Nina with open hands.

"I really don't know if I'll be praising me or hurting me."

With a wry smile of embarrassment, Nina deftly dodged Il's embrace.

Tripped over a stone on the ground and shouted "Ahh

"Well, no one came to catch me."

Ilr sat up from the ground, and although he seemed to be complaining, he laughed as happily as the villagers around him.

"Are you alone? Didn't Mr. Carter come? ”

Seeing that no one had come out of the open door, the village chief asked Il.

"Well, Mr. Carter has followed General Ballykav on a very important mission, but I'm not alone, I'm escorting Anya back this time."

"Sister Anlia?!"

Hearing the name, which they repeated in their dreams almost every night, Kilo and Nina let out some unbelievable screams.

Perhaps it was fully prepared in the carriage or perhaps it was the voices of her younger siblings, Anlia cautiously stepped out of the carriage, although she returned to her hometown, which she was all too familiar with, but Anlia was still as timid as a first-time visitor.

"Sister Anya!"

Rubbing his eyes vigorously, and the figure in front of him did not change, so it was not an illusion, Nina and Kilo cheered and ran towards their sister.

Seeing her younger siblings, a smile finally bloomed on Anya's gloomy face, and she opened her hands, oh no, one-handedly, and opened her arms to them.

The three of them hugged each other tightly, and the joy and bitterness of the reunion infected every villager around, making them wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes.

"Thank you so much for bringing Anlia back, Il."

"Village Chief, you're welcome, if you have to be polite, I hope you can invite me to a big meal."

"Haha, that's for sure, since Anlia has been recovered, have the other young people in our village also been found?"

"Well, I'm really sorry, we didn't find anyone else, but Anya was captured by the lord named Ni, and the others should have been locked up by him."

Ilr speculated as he touched his chin.

"Lord De and Delnis? It's too much! ”

The village chief's old body trembled with anger.

"But don't worry, village chief, Big Brother Carter will definitely save everyone."

Il's head was raised, and a confident smile grew.

For some reason, after seeing such a smile, the village chief instantly felt a lot more relieved, so he shouted to the surrounding villagers: "Everyone! To celebrate Anya's return, let's have a feast tonight! ”

"Okay, I'll go and get the wine out of the cellar!"

"The vegetables I grow at home are just right to eat."

"Then I'll go to town and buy some bread."

"I'm going to cook you a pot of vegetable soup!"

The villagers were immediately busy, and everyone was very happy for Anlya's return.

Although the village in front of him is very poor, the villagers are very kind and simple, which makes Yier's heart rise a warmth, and I hope everyone can live happily ever after. Ilr smiled as she walked over to the three siblings, Nina stroking her sister's severed arm, cursing the lord Del Niss in anger.

"Nina, Lanka has something for me to bring to you."

Nina looked up at him.

Il, taking a deep breath, imitated Lanka's tone and said, "I will teach the people who have caused Anlia pain well." Well, that's it, tsk, it's really strange, obviously he felt very handsome when he said this, why didn't I feel this way when I said it. ”

"You're handsome too," Nina smiled sweetly at what Lanka brought to herself, and then she looked at the spotless blue sky and whispered, "Thank you, Lanka." ”

Since the villagers are not wealthy, they don't have many ingredients at home, but at this moment they are quite generous, and everyone begins to make ordinary home-cooked dishes, and the heartfelt laughter spreads along with the unpretentious fragrance.

Leaning against the pillar of the village chief's house, Ilr munched on an apple and watched the busy villagers, everything around him seemed to be guarded by the gods, and all despair and misfortune were lost.

However, the sudden screams piercing the sky shattered the warm atmosphere, once again cruelly declaring that the gods did not exist.

Il hurriedly looked in the direction of the entrance of the village, and the scene in front of him took a sharp turn, it was blood, blood was splashing, and the villagers were screaming, running, and then being ruthlessly torn apart.

Standing in the midst of the vast expanse of blood and corpses, unrelenting in its violence, was a large monster about the height of a house.

It has a lion-like appearance, but it is several times larger than the average lion, the hair on the body is dark red, a pair of bat-like fleshy wings grow on the back, and what is even more bizarre is its tail, which is not a tail composed of skin and hair that a lion should have, but an exoskeleton similar to a scorpion, and the spikes at the upper end are hung with a dark green liquid containing highly venomous.

The race of the large demonic beast is called the lion scorpion, and it is not a monster that lives on this continent, and its strength can be said to be quite amazing, and it can be classified as a six-star monster according to the difficulty standard common to adventurers.

"Run, everybody! Damn, it's terrible to choose when Big Brother Carter is away. ”

Il clenched his fists, seeing such a terrifying monster, if it was under normal circumstances, he should have turned around and ran, but at this moment, although he was terrified in his heart, his feet walked uncontrollably in the opposite direction of the crowd. Such an unusual situation made Ilr wonder if his brain was broken.

But there is a more powerful voice in my heart that is crying out than my own fear.

That is,

I want to protect everyone!
