The warm candlelight fading the darkness, and Haight was in the room looking at a book called "The Strange Squire". The mountain of books made him feel small. And the book's alternative title attracted him to read it. I don't know when, a gust of wind began to blow outside, and the branches of the trees creaked in front of the window.

"Dragons have the ability to find a home. They will always return to the place where they were born to continue to reproduce the next generation. Red dragons need to hunt a lot of prey to replenish their physical strength. Once they have enough stamina, they will start laying eggs and will not continue to eat until after the baby dragon is born. And people are not their first target of prey. Haidt's eyes instantly lit up when he read this, and the situation of the appearance of the red dragon was very similar in this account.

"Your Excellency Haight, I'm sorry to tell you that dinner is ready. Let me lead the way for you!" Gordon laughed as he interrupted Haidt, who was thinking nonsense.

Haidt immediately closed the book in his hand. He looked at the scholar in front of him with big eyes and said, "Sir, can I get this book? I think I should be able to finish reading him today. ”

"Of course, the value of books lies in the transmission of knowledge. There's no value in just putting it here. It's nice to be able to find a book you like. ”

"There are so many books here. I will definitely live here and read all the books when I have a chance in the future. Haight laughed and jumped out of his chair and followed Master Godot to the dining room.

Dozens of candles illuminate the dining room. Duke Franck was arranged to be at the main table, and Daniel accompanied the two of them happily chatting about their childhood.

Haiter sat down across from Daniel, having dinner with the uncle for the first time, and Haidt was visibly nervous and put the book behind him. Daniel saw the little guy across from him and joked, "Haight, it's useless to just read a book." Some things can only be done by experiencing them. ”

Haight nodded shyly and looked at his father next to him. Hopefully, my father can help ease my embarrassment.

"Uncle, welcome home. I haven't seen you for so many years, and you're still so majestic!" a sweet voice came from the doorway, attracting Haight's attention.

Haidt immediately recognized the beautiful girl he had met in the library. Although they didn't say a word to each other, her appearance made Haight's original embarrassing and nervous mood disappear in an instant.

Frank looked at the girl who came in, then at Daniel and asked, "Is this Jenny?"

"Yes, I'm fourteen years old. Don't you see that we're all old! they're all grown up. Daniel explained with a smile, and raised his hand to signal Jenny to sit next to him.

Seeing Jenny sitting across from him, Haight didn't know what to say. But Jenny chatted with a natural expression: "Uncle, I am very happy that you can come home this time." The wooden sword you gave me last time is still in my room. ”

"Haha, it looks like you really like it. Hey, that's emotional. Ten years have passed, and our Jenny has grown into a big beauty. By the way, this time my uncle also brought you a gift. Your aunt prepared it for you. Frank said, turning back to his attendant to place a delicate box on the table.

Frank handed the box to Jenny and said, "For you! ”

Jenny took the box excitedly and opened it to see that it was a beautiful ruby necklace. Each ruby sparkled with light, leaving Jenny in amazement.

"By the way, why didn't they come, aunt?" asked Jenny, excitedly putting on her necklace.

"Walter is now grown up, and it's the time to get exercise, and your aunt didn't let her come because she wasn't in good health. When she recovers, I'll take her here. A good family reunion. ”

"No, I'll go see my aunt. Dragonclaw is the place I'm most interested in right now. Jenny said, glancing at her father. Daniel smiled and beckoned to start the meal when everyone had arrived.

Haidt wanted to eat in peace, but Jenny seemed interested in asking a lot of questions. Although I can't figure out these questions, I look at Jenny's confident and beautiful appearance. Haight felt deeply that this girl was different from her mother, and she seemed to want more things.

"Uncle, I heard from my father that you led the Knights to kill a red dragon not long ago? Can you tell me about this experience? My father said that he was not there at all. I still blame him for coming. Jenny said with her eyes shining.

"Hahaha, this is really the pride of my life. The red dragon has been gone for a hundred years. I didn't expect it to reappear, as the guardian of the territory, it is also the blessing of the ancestors to be able to do the same thing as the ancestors!" Frank looked at Daniel with a smile, Daniel didn't say a word since Jenny came in, just kept taking care of everyone's meals. Looking at the father and daughter in front of him, Frank couldn't help but secretly praise them for working together so seamlessly.

Frank wasn't worried about what the problem would be: "It's a pity that your father didn't get to see the red dragon killed by your big brother Walter this time!"

"It was my brother who killed the red dragon, how did he do it? Only in the book have I seen some of it, and I really want to see it with my own eyes. How could such a large dragon be defeated?" said Jenny, looking at her father.

Daniel took Jenny's question and said: "It's really gratifying that Walter has been able to achieve this in the past few years, and I heard that he has started to take charge of guarding the border. Such a position suits a young man like him. However, it should take a lot of physical strength for him to use our Rhett Family's holy weapon, the Yanmang Sword!, I think it will be easier for you to kill the Red Dragon, brother!"

"Is Uncle so powerful?" said Jenny, who couldn't help but marvel at what her father Daniel said. Haidt, who had been listening to the side, also looked at Frank's eyes full of admiration.

Frank was not moved by these compliments, but said casually with some resistance in his heart: "Look at what you said, let the children think what a powerful character I am, I have long lost interest in war when I am old." Walter has caused a sensation in the kingdom this time and has become a hero in the kingdom, and I am ready to submit a letter of recommendation to the king to recommend Walter as the heir to the duke. ”

After hearing Franck's words, Daniel's face immediately changed. He said coldly, "Brother, you must have drunk too much! This kid Walter must not be the leader of our Rhett family." I don't think my father would have agreed if he were still alive. ”

Frank had expected Daniel's answer, and he exclaimed, "The purpose of my visit is to report my decision to my father and to your ancestors. I think they'll understand what I mean. ”

"Hmph, you've been so stubborn all these years. Brother, you can only bring endless disasters to the family by doing this. Darkness will cover all lands. Daniel stood up and looked at Frank angrily.

Frank also stood up, looked at Daniel with his eyes and said without showing weakness, "The light of the flame will keep every inch of land bright forever." ”

Seeing that there was an argument among the elders, Jenny hurriedly comforted Frank: "Uncle, it's not easy for everyone to sit together. My grandfather used to say that there should be no quarrels at the dinner table. His eyes kept giving his father Daniel a look.

Frank and Daniel looked at each other for a moment, then sat back in their seats. After that, the two men did not say a word. Only Jenny kept the mood in between to keep the dinner party going. Haight sat quietly on the sidelines, thinking of his mother and Walter in Dragonclaw.

Hardening the arrow wound in his back, Walter drove Ovan to a private cabin outside Dragonclaw. This hut is where Walter himself goes out to train and rests. Although it is a place where you usually train and rest, someone will come to clean and put some things in the house regularly.

Durand saw that the place where Walter brought them was very hidden, and did not find anything unusual. I have some recognition of the "enemy" in front of me. But Durand and the others are more concerned about Si Lanna's injury at this time, although someone has been forcibly pressing Si Lanna's back, but the blood still keeps remaining.

Walter hurriedly rummaged through the room for hemostatic medicine, and by the time Walter hurriedly took the medicine and came to Silana's side, Durand had already ordered someone to light a fire by the fireplace.

Durand and Walter glanced at each other and immediately understood what each other meant. Durand said: "You want to save her, but now there is only one way to do this, to see if she has this life." With that, Durand walked up to Silana, ordered someone to hold down Silana's limbs and head, and pulled out the arrow with all his might.

Blood began to flow down the wound, and Durand took the medicine from Walter's hand and sprinkled it on the wound. He took a burning wooden rod from the fire and scalded it at the wound.

A scream pierced through the woods, startling the birds into the air. Walter frowned and closed his eyes, not daring to look at Slanna's appearance.

"Young man, although you have killed our compatriots, I am grateful that you rescued us and wanted to treat Silana's wounds. Let's settle it. Durand patted Waters on the shoulder and said.

"Her name is Slanna. How's it going?, did she survive?" asked Walter looking at Slanna's pale face.

"I'm not sure, it's up to her. The location of the wound is less than ideal, may the gods bless. With that, Durand threw the stick back into the fire. He said to Walter, "Find us some clothes! ”

Walter looked at these people's torn clothes and was very embarrassed, and quickly found a few clothes from the room that he had changed and handed them to Duland, and after Durand and the others changed their clothes, they put all the food in the room into the cloth bag.

Watching Durand pack his things, worried that they didn't think it was safe here. Walter hurriedly said, "What are you doing with these breads? ”

"I know that, but we can't afford to waste time here, we need to get out of here as soon as possible. Our tribe needs us even more. ”

"What about Silanna? Walter pointed to Silanna, who was lifeless at this time.

"I can only leave her here, and if she can survive, she will definitely want to go back. We have no choice. Durand glanced at Silana lying on the bed and said helplessly.

At that moment, the sound of horses neighing was heard suddenly, and Walter and Durand glanced at each other, and everyone held their breath and listened to the situation outside. But there was no sound after the sound of a horse, which made Walter even more confused.

It didn't take long for the door of the room to be pushed open. A man came in from outside, and the man hesitated for a moment when he saw so many people in front of him, and then smiled when he saw Walter. "You are here, and I saw you coming out in a carriage. I'm worried that you're not here! The Kingdom Messenger is here and needs you to receive you. ”

When Walter saw that it was Arnold, his heart immediately relaxed. Hearing that there was a messenger from the kingdom, I knew that I needed to leave as soon as possible at this time. His eyes couldn't help but look at Durand who was standing next to him.

Arnold saw that Walter was standing still, and his eyes involuntarily looked at the people in the room again. After seeing clearly that the person in front of him was Okuman, a chill immediately flowed from his back all over his body, and he was speechless at once.

Durand saw the change in Arnold's face, and his hand involuntarily picked up the weapon that was set aside. Walter also felt the change in the atmosphere, and immediately said, "You go out and wait for me! ”

Arnold immediately understood Walter's intentions and hurriedly retreated. Seeing Arnold walk out, Walter said to Duland, "Go ahead, but everyone else is innocent, and I hope you don't hurt civilians." ”

With a relentless expression on his face, Durand said, "O'10,000 people never hurt others easily. It's not like you're always killing innocents. ”

Walter heard the sarcasm between the words, but he didn't make a mistake if he wanted to get back to the city as soon as possible. Durand and the others didn't stay any longer, picked up the items in their hands and walked along the jungle.

Seeing the Ovan leave the house, Arnold re-entered. Only then did he see Silana lying on the bed, he pointed to the bed and said, "What's going on?"

"You don't have to ask, let's get the carriage back! Walter said as he went to the bedside and motioned for Arnold to help him carry the man away.

The two of them put Silana in the carriage and returned to Dragonclaw City. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, the two carried Silana to Walter's room. When everything was arranged, Walter changed his clothes and went to the hall to meet the Kingdom Messenger.

After waiting in the hall for a few moments, the Kingdom Messenger entered. Walter hurriedly apologized and said, "I just happened to be hunting outside, and I didn't expect a messenger to arrive, I'm really sorry." ”

"Your Excellency, you're welcome, down here is Ralph, the eleventh knight of the kingdom. On the orders of the king, a letter was sent and a reward for the slaughter of the red dragon by the Red family. Ralph said, handing a letter in both hands.

Walter took the letter, and on it was written the words Duke Modaan. Then he said to Ralph: "My father has gone to Red Cliff City to worship his ancestors, and I will definitely inform him as soon as he returns." ”

"Then please inform the Duke as soon as possible, the content of this letter is very important and urgent. His Majesty ordered me to deliver this letter, and at the same time said that I must ask the Duke to accept his kindness. The King never forgot the contribution of the Rhett family. Difficulties only bring everyone closer together. Ralph said as he motioned for his men to carry the accompanying gifts into the hall. There are six chests of gold.

Walter was amazed to see Ralph Knight bring so many rewards. He hurriedly said, "For such a heavy reward, I will take my father to thank His Majesty the King." The Rhett family will always guard His Majesty's territory. Your Majesty's longevity knows no bounds. ”

"Alright, I'm done. Then I will take my leave, I want to have a good fight with you to see the strength of the dragon slayer. Ralph said and turned and walked outside.

Walter hurriedly chased after Ralph in the hope that he would stay longer, but he couldn't stay after several times. After sending Ralph away, Watt ordered the gold to be checked and disposed of when his father returned. At the same time, he wrote a letter and asked him to send it to Chiya City as soon as possible. When everything was done, I realized that it was already dark.

I wanted to have a quick bite to eat in the dining room, but I found that Mrs. Red and Winter were sitting in their seats waiting for me.

"I'm sorry for the sudden arrival of a lot of things. Everyone must be hungry!" Walter sat down in his seat apologetically. Mrs. Red still greeted everyone to dinner with a smile on her face, while Winter, who was on the side, kept her eyes on Walter and did not say a word.

After Walter finished eating, he said goodbye to his mother and walked back to his room. Just as he was about to push the door open and go in to rest, Winter suddenly stopped him and said, "Brother, the Owan in prison is gone. You wouldn't have missed this message, would you?"

"No, when did something happen!" Walter calmly looked at his brother in front of him, feeling that Winter was giving people a different feeling than usual.

"They, they disappeared during your absence. Brother, today's dinner is really tasteless, you have to take care of your body. Winter spoke in fits and starts, and then turned to leave.

Looking at Winter's back, Walter remembered that he had not received any news about the prison since he had taken Ovan away. Sensing that something was wrong, he crept around the prison. From a distance, I saw two soldiers standing guard at the gate of the prison sitting listlessly. It looked as if nothing had happened.

This situation made Walter hesitate to see what was going on. Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke was thrown next to the guard, and the two men were startled by the sudden appearance and hurriedly shouted and ran. When the smoke cleared, they found that the prison door had been opened, and Walter saw it all.
