Wiping away the tears of the little slave girl with her thumb, the owner of this hand, said in a hoarse voice: "Get up." ”

The little slave girl looked up and saw a face wearing a face scarf, her hair was messy, and the face towel was dirty, but the eyes that were exposed were so bright that the little slave girl couldn't open them.

She was dressed in leather armor of some age, and the threads at the corners were finely polished. Behind his back was a large sword, the hilt of which was wrapped around rags. And her chest, which was tightened by the leather armor, made contact with her knees and squeezed because of the squatting down, and the threads of the leather armor almost broke through.

After wiping away the tears of the little slave girl, she stood up.

Tall.

It looks a little sloppy dressed, but it reveals a peculiar wild temperament. This quickly reminded the little slave girl of the group of people who had stormed the village, killed and robbed, separated her from her family, and taken her to the serf market. Listening to the serfs in the market, those people are mercenaries who do a lot of evil.

And the woman in front of her is like a mercenary.

"Ahh Frightened, the little slave girl seemed to have a lot of strength, got up from the ground with difficulty, and apologized in a panic, "Yes, I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't, I didn't fall on purpose." ”

The mercenary looked at her, and her hoarse voice spat out again: "You didn't do anything wrong, why should you apologize." ”

"I ......" The little slave girl didn't know how to answer, and she wanted to cry again in a panic.

"Follow me. ”

The mercenary said in a tone of no questioning, turned around and left the cabin, the little slave girl hesitated, but she didn't dare not follow the other party, she lowered her head, and didn't even dare to look at the back of the mercenary.

The mercenary seemed to be walking in the direction of the cafeteria.

On the road.

Suddenly, she said in a hoarse voice, "Girls have to learn to be strong, especially when they walk alone. ”

The little slave girl didn't know how to answer, but it seemed that the mercenary didn't expect her to answer, and in a moment she walked to the cafeteria. The mercenary pushed away the crowded serfs, brought the little slave girl to the window where she was cooking, and shouted directly: "Jack the Fat Pig, give her a meal!"

"Ah, okay, Captain Swan. ”

As she spoke, the mercenary had turned around and was ready to leave.

The little slave girl stood in front of the window blankly, not knowing whether to cook or follow the mercenary. Until Jack, the fat pig who was cooking, stuffed a semi-liquid food into her arms on a wooden plate: "Take it, I don't know what kind of nerves Captain Swan has, and he is helping the serfs to cook." ”

Holding the fragrant rice, the little slave girl felt that she was going to cry again, this time with happiness.

One meal a day, never so full today.

She whispered in a mosquito-like voice, "Thank you." "I don't know if it's for Jack the Fat Pig, or if it's for Captain Swan.

But she crouched in the corner of the deck, eating the beans and flour, and had the name "Captain Swan" firmly in her heart—she couldn't understand the snake script between the mercenary and the sailor, only the pronunciation of Jack the Fat Pig to call the mercenary.

......

"Captain Swan is sympathetic to the little slave girl?"

On the bow deck, the mercenary was blowing the sea breeze, and the second mate of the ship stepped forward and asked elegantly.

"Why, no?"

"Of course not, on the contrary, such a gesture is heartwarming, and I can see that Captain Swan's tough style has a feminine soft heart. ”

The mercenary didn't answer the topic, but just looked at the water.

The second mate was unwilling, and said: "I see that you have helped several such little slave girls, do you see your own shadow in them? People always remember their past selves, have you also had such a childhood? Sorry, I didn't mean to mention it, I just want to know more about you, Captain Swan." ”

A moment later.

Just when the second mate thought that she had failed to accost, the female mercenary looked at the seagulls at sea and said slowly: "I have a younger sister who hasn't seen her for four years, and if she is still alive, she is also the age of a little slave girl." ”

"Well, I see, it's really ...... to be separated from your relatives"

Don't wait for the second mate to answer.

The mercenary suddenly changed her tone and said impatiently: "Since your curiosity has been satisfied, now, you can get out?"

"Ah, don't do that, Captain Swan, I know you're in a bad mood right now. The second mate said, reaching out and wanting to pat her on the shoulder, "I just want to comfort you, or, you can lend a shoulder to ......."

But not before his hand touched his shoulder.

The female mercenary suddenly elbowed and knocked the second mate two meters away: "Get out!"

"You!" the second mate was exasperated.

He was greeted by the mercenary's cold eyes and hoarse voice: "If you don't want to die, don't bother me, leave a few corpses at sea, I believe the captain won't care." ”

The second mate was angry, and he suddenly held back, rubbed his chest, and walked off the deck unwillingly.

After entering the cabin where the sailors were resting, he was immediately ridiculed by a group of disheveled sailors: "Speke, look, the best performance that I can't do enough!"

"Haha, just with your pockmarked face, you dare to provoke Captain Swan, and you die of laughter. ”

"Don't be discouraged Speke, you held on two minutes longer than Fox. ”

"I am willing to gamble and lose, Speke did not hold out for more than five minutes, and the gamble loses consciously!"

"To celebrate Speke's defeat, I decided to take another sip of gin mixed with water, haha. ”

......

The rude laughter of the sailors in the cabin.

The mercenary didn't hear it, she lay on the railing of the deck, watched the bow break through the waves, and her thoughts drifted into the distance: "Coral Island...... Flower Town...... Little Maggie......"

Meanwhile.

The place she was looking forward to.

In the castle, the gray-haired butler Carter walked up to the lord who was composing the historical chapter of "Dragon Battles in the Wild" and said, "Master, there is one thing that you should be happy to hear. ”

"What's the matter?" Liszt, who was creating a historical document of "Ten Thousand Years Ago Evil Fire Dragons and Powerful Dragon Knights Fighting in the Blue Sea", asked without raising his head.

"Maggie, the castle's maid trainee, has married Mrs. Harriet at the grocery store. ”

Hear it's about Maggie.

Liszt put down the quill pen and raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, what are the plans of the Harriet family to take Maggie back and no longer intern?"

I don't want to just let Maggie go.

Carter's answer made him breathe a sigh of relief: "Of course not, sir, it is extremely honorable for civilians to work in the castle, and the Harriet family is reluctant to give up such a good opportunity." ”

"Well, then, Mr. Carter, you congratulate Maggie on my behalf. By the way, she's coming for an internship in the afternoon?"

"I didn't take any leave, so I should have done my internship normally. ”

"Well, add a grilled steak to her for dinner. ”

"As you wish. ”
