As the sun slowly rises, the long-lost sunlight shines on the earth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xia Di rubbed his eyes that had not slept all night, closed his eyes for a few seconds, and after a night of fighting and busyness, he had accumulated a lot of fatigue.

Work with villagers to heal the wounded, resettle prisoners, and repair broken buildings.

After all this work, there are still problems that need to be solved.

"Knight, we can't accept this request."

Around the Xia Di, there was a row of villagers, and they were all the most vocal people in the village. They kept a straight face at the moment, and their eyes when they looked at Xia Di revealed dissatisfaction.

"Why are you going to release these rebel captives? Even if you don't kill them, you should hand them over to the king's army. One of the villagers said.

"Yes, Lord Knight, if they are released, the others will definitely be dissatisfied, and what if they come back to take revenge on our village......"

Another villager said.

Seeing the villagers' faces full of indignation, Xia Di sighed, although he had long expected that he would be opposed by the villagers, but he didn't expect it to be so strong, he raised his hands to signal the villagers to be quiet, and said slowly: "Well, you guys calm down first." Listen to me first, I know your inner dissatisfaction, but with the current situation, it would be bad for the village to keep them here. ”

Xia Di paused, with a solemn expression: "You probably also know that I am a spy sent by the King's Army to infiltrate the rebels, maybe I haven't told you, I will leave this place to carry out a mission in the near future, and I can't stay in the village all the time." I was not there when you went to inform the King's army to receive the rebels, but you also know that the King's army was at least four or five days away from the village, and that during this time you had to keep an eye on the able-bodied rebels by your own strength. In the unlikely event that the rebels riot en masse while I'm away, can you stop them? ”

"This, this is ......" The villagers who had just proposed were speechless, they obviously didn't think of the question, but they didn't seem to want to die.

"Yes, yes, just kill these captives! Anyway, they did so many bad things. ”

"Yes, Lord Knight, for the sake of the victims, this is also for the sake of justice."

The rest of the villagers agreed with what the two men had to say, especially after what happened last night, when their opinion of the rebels got worse.

"I'm sorry." However, Xia Di immediately refused, "Although I am only a low-ranking knight, I cannot allow the surrendered captives to be killed at will, and the laws of my country do not support such a thing as your private execution of prisoners. ”

In fact, it is not impossible to kill the rebels, but considering that he has not received any mission hints or progress reports so far, in the spirit of the elite player style of casting a long line to catch big fish, Xia Di vetoed this plan at the beginning.

If you're not mistaken, release the rebels to activate the next mission!

Xia Di thought silently.

Seeing Xia Di's righteous and awe-inspiring face, the villagers felt a little ashamed, and they were even a little worried that if they persisted, they would make the knight angry, so they had to remain silent.

"So, so be it." Xia Di coughed lightly, trying to ease the atmosphere, "We have to take away all their weapons, and we have to return all the things they have stolen." I don't think you want the invaders' bodies to sleep on the land, so they have to drag the corpses with them on horseback. As for your fear that they will come back and retaliate...... If my guess is correct, it's probably no accident that they're going to loot this place, it's likely that they're eyeing this territory, and whether you let the captives go or not, they'll send someone to check it out. Before that, you should apply to the court to have the knights of the King's Army garrison the village, and there are many affected villages in the vicinity, which should be taken seriously. Of course, if you can't...... I know someone in charge over there, and I can help you write a letter asking for help. ”

Although he is not really a knight of the king's army, Xia Di does have some acquaintances in the court, especially a nobleman who is very familiar with him, so it is not difficult to do.

“…… Since the knight said it, let's do it. ”

Listening to Xia Di's words, the villagers nodded, after all, Xia Di was the benefactor of the village and the knight of the king's army, and they felt that they should accept this suggestion.

"By the way, there's another question." Xia Di hesitated, "The granddaughter of the village chief...... How's it going? ”

"Are you Erin? She ......" The villagers looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they replied with gloomy expressions, "She didn't attend the village chief's funeral, maybe she can't accept the facts." ”

"I'm ashamed if we could have done it earlier......"

"Don't blame yourself too much." Xia Di comforted.

Actually, there was another incident that happened yesterday.

The head of this village, the sick old man who was sick in bed, Irene's grandfather died of illness.

Although the sick old man had been sent to a safe place outside the village by the villagers to stay with non-combatants such as women and children during the struggle against the rebels, it was not known whether he was angry with the rebels or if he had run out of life, and when he went to pick him up at the end of the battle, he was told by the rest of the people present that he had died.

This incident hit the villagers hard, the village chief is the most virtuous person in the village, and despite his advanced age, the villagers still hope for his recovery.

However, he died when the rebels looted the village.

Although there was no direct confrontation, the villagers all blamed the death of the village chief on the rebels, believing that their arrival had worsened the village chief's condition, and shouted that the rebel prisoners should be executed. Fortunately, Xia Di stopped it by the side, so he didn't let the situation continue to develop.

"It's a pity that I can't catch up with the time, otherwise my healing technique should be of use for the state of the disease." Xia Di muttered to himself.

"Knight?"

"Ahem, it's nothing, speaking of which, there's one more thing." Xia Di coughed lightly, "It might be a little strange to ask that, Erin...... Have you ever seen her use magic? Or did she have any magic items or something like that? ”

"Huh? Magic? Are you talking about the one used by magicians? Most of the villagers looked stunned, "Erin, she's just a child." It's quite smart, but how can it be magical......"

"Lord Knight, the people in our village have been ordinary farmers for generations, not to mention magicians, even people with warrior blood, how can they use magic, magic props are also, that is something that only rich people can use, it is said that a low-grade magic prop is worth at least 2 gold coins, even the village chief can't afford it."

Hearing the villagers' negative remarks, Xia Di couldn't help but fall silent.

Although he had long expected that he might not be able to obtain information smoothly, he did not expect that the villagers would not know anything about it, which made Xia Di a little surprised.

Could it be that the little girl has been hiding this all along?

Xia Di thought for a few seconds, and then showed a kind smile, "

"Well, I understand the matter, probably I made a mistake, by the way, you guys were busy all night, and you didn't even eat breakfast, right? Leave it to me first, and you can go and rest today. ”

"Well, how embarrassing is this to bother the knight." The villagers hesitated a little, "It's not ......good for us to rest like this while you're working."

"It's okay, it's okay, let's go and rest, just come over and change shifts in the afternoon." Xia Di pretended to be generous and said.

"That'...... Thank you. The villagers were already very tired, and after receiving Xia Di's order, they did not resist much and immediately went home.

Seeing the villagers leave, Xia Di shook his head, turned around, and looked at the sky.

At this time, the sun is shining and the sky is clear.

There was a hint of grass in the wind.

Xia Di felt the breath of the early morning, held his forehead, and said to himself: "Maybe, compared to the physical body, the mental reflection is really more tired." It's the third day, but I feel like I can't figure out anything. ”

I have to admit that there are too many doubts about this latest mission, first the death of the king of the British Imperial Kingdom has become known, the inexplicable appearance of rebels calling themselves volunteers, and the unusual behavior of Roddy indiscriminately attacking people during yesterday's battle.

Now, there's the matter of Irene.

All kinds of suspicions are not explained, and the only information I get is that the country still does not seem to be very peaceful.

"It's not long since the common large-scale mission has passed, and there will be another wave of new plots soon......" Xia Di scratched his head, "Speaking of which, yesterday's mission ...... If you think about it, if you had known that little girl could do magic, you would have been able to do a lot of preparation. ”

If I had known that Erin could do magic earlier, I would have been able to incorporate her into the combatants as a safe measure, and maybe I could have prevented Roddy's attack and successfully forced the rebels away. However, after all, she was only a child, and it was understandable that she would be in the non-combatant group at first...... But why did she come over on her own again?

"Anyway, this matter is over, and it is predicted that within today, there should be a clue to the next link in the task chain, but until then...... What time is it? ”

Xia Di looked at the sky again, observing the degree of dawn, the time in the game was much slower than reality, but the seasons and time periods were about the same, and after calculating the time in his mind, Xia Di took a deep breath.

"Monday, 4 a.m. No, 5 o'clock? ”

"It seems to be ...... this afternoon There are also classes. No way, let's go offline. ”
