After that day, the village of Custer was once again calm as before. The only thing that changed was that the merchants of Culest no longer passed through the village of Custer, and the news that the local lords had been beheaded was sent back to the royal capital. The royal capital claimed to send a new lord and troops to the village of Custer, but no one knew exactly what caused Culest's troops to arrive. I'm afraid that only those high-ranking officials and ministers and the king know it in their hearts. Albert, who had a broken arm, fell asleep for five days after fainting, and during this time the people of the village took turns to take care of him. Although it is inevitable that some villagers will retaliate and slap a few times because of their displeasure, everyone is used to it and does not say anything.

However, Alan Hillman still had a serious conversation with Theodore Herbert about Theodore's mastery of magic.

"Young Master, I have to remind you. The contents of the library built by Madame have exceeded the scope of human learning, and Madame instructed her to take good care of the important library before she died. You must never abuse magic without permission, and if you have a conflict with others, try to resolve it with physical skills. Do you understand" Alan sat in front of Theodore, his eyebrows furrowed and explained to Theodore seriously.

"I know, but Ellen it's time you should teach Christine and Alice some magic. Theodore nodded and said

"If there are no special circumstances, I think the two girls just need to learn some self-defense skills. And some low-level magic must have been learned, so they don't have to worry too much. With that, Alan walked out. At this moment, Christine and Alice are practicing in the courtyard with wooden swords, and Alice is in the hunter's family. Therefore, he is much better than Christine in terms of combat skills, but Christine's agility and strength as an orc are above Alice.

"Whew...... Call...... I didn't expect Christine to be so fast," Alice stepped back, holding the wooden sword in both hands, gasping for air in her mouth. After a few rounds of fighting, Alice was not deflated. But in terms of physical strength and speed, she can't keep up with the orc girl in front of her who is about the same height and body as herself

"Sister is not bad......" Christine inhaled the cold air, and could barely smile in response. There were minor injuries to Christine's arm and waist, and it was clear that Christine was fighting back with Alice's sword just now.

At this moment, Alan suddenly appeared, took away the wooden swords of the two of them, put them on the ground, and said, "The two young ladies have their own spring and autumn, but the shortcomings and advantages of each other are obvious." No matter how hard you practice, you can definitely protect yourself. ”

Alice and Christine nodded to each other, and Alice suddenly asked, "What about Herbert?"

"The young master went to the village to see how that person was last time, so he let the two of them come down to train them. Alan touched his beard, picked up two wooden swords on the ground and threw them at the two of them, shouting, "Come on! Defeat me!"

On the other side, Theodore Herbert quickly walked to the hospital on the street. Everyone had a lot of respect for Theodore Herbert only because his father was famous here. As a result, they were respectful and generous to anyone at Herbert's Manor.

"Uncle, how is that guy?" Theodore asked as he walked up to a doctor, who pointed to the inside and replied, "Now that he can get out of bed and walk, he has been fitted with a prosthetic leg as you instructed." ”

Theodore took out a bag of money from his pocket and put it here, and the doctor hurriedly pushed the money back and said, "You don't need to come out with this money, after all, the village is humanitarian." Even if he's done anything to us. ”

"Then thank you. With that, Theodore Herbert strode into the room. When I opened the door, I saw Albert drinking soup with a spoon, and when he first woke up, his face was still haggard, and there was no light in his eyes. By this time, his spirit had eased a lot, and when Albert saw Theodore, he just snorted coldly and continued to bow his head to eat.

"I saved you, and you're still doing this to me. If I said it earlier, I wouldn't have saved you. Theodore picked up a chair and sat down, straddled his legs and complained.

"Cut, I'm the Culest's Guard. Do you need to be rescued by a mere civilian? I think too highly of myself. If it weren't for that spear...... Ahem. Don't say it!" Albert put on a proud, righteous look, but when he talked about his spear piercing his arm, his face began to feel a little embarrassed, and he continued to bow his head and drink the soup. In Theodore's eyes, this guy's skin is not ordinarily thick. At this time, he was still talking about his what the hell the general of the guards

"Hey, why did Culester invade Custer? It's just a village, and it's going so hard to let such a famous and powerful "Guards General" come and go out on his own. Theodore began a wave of routines, intending to get something out of people's mouths.

"Ask so much what to do, when I'm stupid. Don't worry, this is just a vanguard, if the king finds out that I haven't returned for so long, then he will command a large army to conquer! wash your neck and wait for death! cough cough ......" Albert choked after saying that, Theodore squinted his eyes and realized that this was also a joke. In modern parlance, this must be a joke. But I didn't expect it to be so funny, and if you want to put it in reality, you are also a talent.

Theodore asked no avail and left, while Albert stared at the man's back. He wondered if this person was the person he had seen before, and he didn't have the same desire in his eyes as he had seen before he fainted. Instead, it's clear and transparent, if it's really this man. Then the rumored monsters in the army must be a kulaster that cannot be stopped, because they are fighting against their former enemies and eternal faith. Albert had no choice but to beg in his heart, but he hoped not

Theodore walked to the center of the village, the house of Lord Louis. The village chief and the other officials were gathering for a meeting, and when they saw Theodore coming, they hurriedly welcomed him in and said, "The eldest son of the Herberts! ”

Theodore walked over to the long table surrounded by the crowd, on which was an envelope and a map of the human territory. The territory of the Five Kingdoms is clearly demarcated above, and Pfister is in the northeast of the Neutral Court. To the west of Phoenix is Codiano and to the south is Culest. The village of Custer is located on the border between Phoenix and Culest.

"Young Master Herbert, we have sent someone to the royal capital to report the situation. The messengers have also returned, but the new lord and army that the king has been promising have not yet arrived. We received another letter this morning, and if we continue like this, we will cause a commotion in the village. The elderly village chief picked up the envelope on the table and handed it to Theodore Herbert, who looked at the envelope's logo. A black wolf with fangs bared, Theodore was puzzled. The books he had read in the library had never seen such a sign, and when he opened the envelope with confusion and took out the paper inside. It's only thirteen words

"In seven days, the village of Custer will be destroyed. ”
