Chapter 232: Aiwen

A man in the group left the group on horseback.

He seems to be the captain of the cavalry, and has the most striking appearance of the plagiarism.

The captain's eyes glanced at the village chief, then at the bloodstains in the square, and then at the villagers behind him, and glanced at the back. Immediately looked at Tatsubai with a sharp gaze.

Although his eyes were very intimidating, Chen Bai seemed to be unmoved, and such a deterrent was not worth mentioning in Chen Bai's eyes.

As if he had seen enough, the captain spoke with great momentum:

"I'm the Warrior Captain of Sekob City, Garris. Elvin. On the orders of the king, the knights of the country who were causing trouble in the vicinity were cleared and patrolled the villages."

A steady and deep voice sounded in the square, and there was also a commotion from the village chief's house behind Chen Bai.

Hearing his introduction, Chen Bai asked the village chief on the side in a low voice:

「…… What kind of man is he?"

"I heard that he is the strongest man in our country, and he is currently in charge of commanding the elite soldiers of the king in the former king's royal tournament."

"Is this person in front of you really that powerful......?"

「…… I don't know. I've only heard about it."

The scabbard of the saber that Chen Bai looked at him was different from other knights from the outside, but it was relatively wide, and such a sword would generally be heavier. Without a strong physique, it would not be easy to wield such a weapon.

Looking at it this way, the other party at least has some strength, and it is not a false name.

However, Chen Bai glanced at these knights, knowing that there were knights here and bringing such a few knights over, this person's identity was a little suspicious.

Aiwen's eyes looked at the village chief:

"You're the village chief here. Can you tell me who the person next to me is?"

"Don't bother. Hello, Lord Warrior of the Kingdom, my name is Miu and I am a magic bard. Because this village was attacked by knights, they came to the rescue."

Stopping the village chief who wanted to speak, Tatsuhaku bowed lightly and began to introduce himself.

Hearing this, Ai Wen immediately dismounted, the metal armor on his body made a click-rattle collision sound, and he stood on the ground and bowed his head deeply:

"Thank you for saving this village, you can't repay the kindness."

The air vibrated slightly.

As a warrior commander, I am afraid that he also belongs to the privileged class, and he would have such respect for Chenbai, whose identity is unknown, in this world where there are obvious class differences, it should be very surprising. In other words, in this country, or even in the whole world, human rights have not yet been fully established. A few years ago there were even countries that traded slaves.

Even though the status of the two is not equal, Ai Wen still specially got off the horse and bowed to Chen Bai, which can clearly see Ai Wen's personality.

Being the Warrior Captain of the Kingdom should not be false. Chen Bai judged so.

「…… Don't be so polite. Actually, my purpose is also to get paid, so I don't need to thank you."

In order to disguise his purpose, Tatsuhaku said a reason that convinced him.

"Oh, the reward. So, you're an adventurer?"

"Hmm... I see. Looks like an amazing adventurer...... But forgive me for being lonely and unheard of the name of His Excellency Miu.

I'm on my journey, and I just happened to be passing by, and I'm not a famous person."

「…… I'm traveling. I'm sorry to delay this excellent adventurer, but can you tell me about the thugs who attacked the village?"

"With pleasure, Captain Warrior. Most of the knights who attacked the village had already died, and they should not be able to revolt for the time being. Do you need to go on?"

「…… Killed...... Did Lord Miu sanction him?"

「... That's right, it's not true."

Sensing the meaning of his words, Ai Wen glanced at Chenbai and found that there was no smell of blood on his body. But when I looked around, I didn't see anything else.

"I have three questions...... Excuse me...... What is your race?"

Ai Wen looked at Chen Bai's magic horns and sharp claws, a little puzzled.

"Oh...... The reason why I'm different is because I'm a unique half-orc, so I'm so much better than the average human!"

Chen Bai endured the helplessness in his heart and said with a smile.

It's really humiliating for a big demon king to say that he's a half-orc. However, almost everyone who thought of the Sanctuary thought that Chen Bai was just a half-orc, and Chen Bai accepted this kind of thing.

Ai Wen let out an exclamation and carefully examined Chenbai from head to toe with a sharp gaze.

It's actually a half-orc, and it's the first time I've encountered it. Steely muscles, confident eyes, and unique service.

"So...... What about the black stick?"

Evan looked at the staff in Chenbai's hand.

"It's a staff unique to orcs!"

"Oh!"

Ai Wen looked at the staff in Chen Bai's hand in surprise, the half-orcs turned out to have this unique staff!

"Last question, how did Lord Miu solve these knights?"

After Ai Wen finished speaking, he looked at Chen Bai without looking away, this was something he couldn't understand, what he meant just now should be that he contracted the guardian beast, right? Or maybe it's some special ability of his! However, the scene is not visible.

"This...... Please don't ask, that's my hole card! Haha!"

Chen Bai showed a little embarrassment.

"I'm sorry! I was rude!"

Evan then bowed his head and apologized.

"Thank you!"

"So—"

"Before that, it was difficult to speak, but this village had just been invaded by the knights of the Waiting Country, and if you entered with weapons, it might bring back terrible memories to the villagers. Could you please put your weapons in the corner of the square so that the villagers can rest assured?"

「…… His Excellency Miu is absolutely right. But this sword is a weapon given by the king, and it cannot be removed without the king's order."

"-Miu-sama, we don't matter."

"Really? Village Elder ...... I also ask your Excellency the Commander of War to forgive me for my unreasonable request."

"Your Excellency Miu is very right, if this sword is not a weapon given by the king himself, I will be happy to put it down. So can you sit down and let me hear the details? If you don't care, it's not too early, and I'd like to rest in this village for the night..."

"Got it. Then come together to my house—"

Just as the village chief was halfway through his answer, a cavalryman hurried into the square. From his panting appearance,

Tell the story.

The cavalry shouted out the emergency:

"Warrior Chief! Several figures appeared around. They are approaching around the village!"

"-What?"

Evan frowned, why did the enemy come so quickly? Now that the knights have been eliminated, they shouldn't have gotten the news so quickly! However, since he was already here, he had to stop them.

"Did I send a few deserters to call for reinforcements so quickly?"

Chen Bai also walked out of the crowd and said in surprise.
