Act Forty-Four: Like a Hero
In the darkness of the night, Harrester crouched on his horse, riding as fast as he could.
He didn't know what he would see in five hours, but he would bring Lily back anyway.
The night was cold, and white vapor came out of the mouths of both men and horses. Harrest felt like a hero, but he was clearly meant to be a bounty hunter.
The trees around me, the rivers, a little bit backwards.
It's a long way off, and there's still a long way to go.
Harrest felt that the horse was no longer good, and began to instill magic in the horse, and then let the horse run on its own for a while.
Five hours is really long, and longer is the result of five hours later.
But in the end, the gates still appeared in front.
By the time it was almost early in the morning, the city gates had been closed, and even the guards who opened and closed the gates had left.
Drawing his sword from behind, Harast's forehead lit up, and with a single sword from the outside, he cut the bolt inside the gate in half. Pushing open the gates, he strode toward the tallest building in the city.
The sleeping guards in the low houses on both sides of the gate were awakened by the sound of the door being pushed and hurriedly got up to check the situation. But the guards who got up saw nothing but the open door.
"Knock knock...... Knock knock knock ......"
The crisp sound of the bell echoed through the city, and the guards hesitated, but still rang the bronze bell.
The bell rings in the early hours of the morning, as sad as the death knell. Those who are not woken up by the sound of the bell are bound to have nightmares.
When the guards in the city lord's mansion heard the bell, they hurriedly climbed up at the urging of the chief of the guard, and the city lord Locke and his son Franco also immediately got up vigilantly.
Harrest rushed to the outside of the Lord's Mansion, kicked the courtyard gate open, knocked the two guards who rushed up to the ground in the garden, and kicked the gate of the Lord's Mansion open with another kick, and stood in front of the Castle Lord and a group of guards.
"Bold! How dare ordinary people be so presumptuous! Franro drew his sword and stepped forward to teach Halleste a lesson.
"Wait!" Locke hurriedly stopped his son, and asked instead, "I don't know what the little friend is doing when he visits the house late at night?" ”
"Half a month ago, your son bought a maid in Ota City, which is from our village, now hurry up and release me immediately!" Harrester was furious and didn't want to talk too much nonsense.
"Not to mention whether there is such a thing, even if there is such a thing, then you can't just ask for someone. You know, you bought it! Locke seems to know about this, first verbally cover up, and then make a move, which is the old city lord's usual style.
"Not to mention that the Longyuan Kingdom prohibits the slave trade, even if it is allowed, this time you have to release me immediately and unconditionally!" Hallrest clenched his sword and stepped forward, his strength alone stronger than that of the guards.
"It seems that we can't communicate!" Locke took a few steps back, "Up, grab him for me." ”
When the guards heard the order, they immediately rushed towards Hallrest with their swords.
Harrester had no intention of killing, but he was happy to teach the gang of bad guys a hard lesson.
Directly retracting the sword into its sheath, the boy swung his fist at the first one who rushed forward. It was just an ordinary punch to the guard's chest, and the guard was knocked upside down and fell to the ground. The rest of the guards, taking advantage of the large number of people, rushed up and tried to slash the boy to death. But Hallest's punches are extremely fast, and anyone who is close to him will be knocked to the ground in the next moment, and he will not hurt the teenager at all.
A dozen or so guards were instantly immobilized, and Harrester continued to move forward, kicking the city lord Locke to the pillar with a kick, knocking him unconscious.
The boy grabbed Franlo by the collar and said! Where are the people! ”
"In the basement room...... Spare your life, my lord! Franco's legs trembled and he couldn't stand, completely devoid of his prestigiousness.
"Take me!"
Franco didn't dare to disobey, and hurriedly led Halleste to the basement. "Inside." When the basement arrived, he pointed to the innermost room.
Harrester pushed the door open, and Lily was curled up naked in the corner, her eyes hollow.
"What did you do?!"
"My lord, I wanted to force her, but she refused to obey and resisted with her life. In the end, I had to give up, I didn't touch her for half a month, and I just kept her here. ”
"Bang"
Harreste threw a punch into Franco's face with all his might without using the Seal, knocking his face crooked.
"I'll spare your dog's life for now, but it won't be long before you and your father die!" Hallester said as he looked at Franco, who was lying motionless on the ground.
Harrest draped her coat over Lily's body, and then threatened the maids outside to find a set of women's clothes.
"Lily, don't be afraid, look at me, I'm Hallest! It's the silly boy who often runs up the mountain, we often meet by the river, do you remember? Harrester gently wrapped his arms around the girl's shoulder bag and looked into her eyes.
There seemed to be something in the girl's empty eyes, but they were still empty.
"Don't worry, it's okay, come and put on your clothes, I'll take you away." Hallester handed the clothes to Lily and said softly, then turned away.
Lily seemed to recognize the boy, and she put the clothes she had taken on her.
"Are you dressed?"
“......”
There was no reaction for a long time behind him.
Harrest turned around, and the girl was dressed and standing very close to him, looking straight at him with empty eyes. Although there was no expression in her eyes before, now it is even more blank.
Harrest took the girl into her arms, trying to make her feel warm.
"Come with me, okay?"
The girl nodded vacantly.
Harrest led the girl out of the city lord's mansion slowly, and none of the guards who came over later dared to come forward to stop him, and even the city gate was opened wider than when he came, as if he hoped that he would leave early.
He carried the girl on horseback and taught her to hold on to the reins. Then he went up to the horse, pulled the reins with one hand, and put the other hand around the girl's shoulder.
The girl fell into Hallest's arms, never saying a word.
The night was getting deeper and the air was getting colder. This is the legendary inverted spring cold, and the girl stays naked in this temperature in the humid basement for half a month.
Thinking of this, Harrester couldn't help but stick the girl tighter, not wanting her to be frozen again.
"Lily, was it bracken that you washed by the river last time? The one I've eaten, it's delicious! ”
"Lily, what day is your birthday? I suddenly forgot that this year I decided to give you a small gift! ”
"Lily, grandpa misses you very much, you have to talk to him well when you go back this time."
The boy repeated a conversation with a person, and his heart was dripping blood.
