There were no enemies in the cabin, and that was the first feeling Hiko had when he walked in.

In addition to a woman who was slumped on a seat with limbs and limbs, there was only one trapped sturdy child who fainted in a corner of the cabin. By any measure, they don't look like threats. But with instinct, Hiko still subconsciously gave birth to a feeling that something seemed wrong.

The captain had said that in addition to the noble earl of Black Thorn, there were five guards with him. Now two knights, one archer, died. Then there should be two characters like Assassin and Spellcaster. But he didn't see the remaining three guys now, so he couldn't say that they just made a hole in the ground and escaped.

Don't forget, this is above the sea. Even if you hit a hole in the ground, don't even think you can escape. What's more, this is still under Hiko's nose, and he doesn't think that these three people can run away from under his nose in any strange way.

So, is it hiding?

He sniffed hard and felt the smell in the cabin. Hiko was directly stimulated by the smell of the woman's perfume. He overestimated his ability to recognize smells, and underestimated women's love of beauty. Obviously, the idea of using smell to search for clues is simply not valid.

So, traces? looked at the wooden decks beneath their feet, which reeked of the ship's peculiar smell of rot, and all the complicated things that were clearly prepared for aristocratic women of status. Yan couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Women, especially those from these aristocratic families, have always been synonymous with trouble. You can't imagine that they can bring everything with them when they go out. Their clothes, their accessories, their perfumes and cosmetics, and even a vase that they liked, they would carry with them. And these forests are placed in this small cabin, which is simply a complication of human life.

Yan Ke really didn't have the confidence to find a little useful information out of so many things. Of course, his bigger reason was that he didn't have the cheekiness to rummage through a woman's personal belongings, especially when the woman was right in front of him.

You know, he thinks that this woman is his father's lover and his stepmother's candidate. offended her at this time, and it was he himself who would be unlucky in the future. So, no matter who it was for, he couldn't do such a thing at this time. And this meant that there was only one other option left for him to choose.

Interview eyewitnesses.

Maybe the woman and the boy who was tied up would be able to tell themselves some of the necessary information.

Just do it, the bold Yan of the artist walked to the boy's side without saying a word, ripped the cloth on his mouth, slapped his delicate face, and stimulated him with pain to make him sober up.

After seeing the eyes, which gradually turned from confusion to clarity, he immediately asked the boy.

"Listen, brother. I ask you, do you know where the Earl and his men have gone?"

Hiko's attack was not light, which made Billy's cheeks start to blush and swell. Feeling the burning pain on his cheeks, Billy, who had only really come to his senses at this time, immediately asked in a daze.

"Who are you? Damn, why does my face hurt so much?"

"Who knows, maybe you were tortured by someone else before. With a roll of his eyes, Hiko said to the boy who might be his brother. "As for who I am? You could think I'm here to pick you up and your mother. Let me introduce myself, I am a Nord Renyan, the son of the Sword Saint Mu!"

"Juggernaut?" Billy had been tricked by the fancy things in the city for years, but that didn't mean he didn't know how people in this world called beings who were otherworldly in power, almost akin to gods.

He had never imagined that he would be able to meet an existence so closely related to the Sword Master. Even if it was just a Nord Sword Master, it still gave him a feeling as if he had seen the dawn. So at this time, he didn't care about anything else, so he had already asked for Yan.

"Whoever you are, please, take me to that Juggernaut. I will worship him as a teacher, and I will learn swordsmanship from him. I want power, immense power. He's going to help me, he's going to have a way to help me, isn't he?"

"That being true, I don't think the old man would reject you. But seriously, brother, don't you think it's a bit inappropriate for you to tell me this now? Don't forget what I asked you before, that the Earl and his men, I haven't cleaned it up yet!"

"By the way, Field, bastards, and those goddamn traitors! I'm going to kill them, I'm going to slit their throats!"

It seems that it was only at this time that Billy began to react. And the first moment he reacted, he began to roar and agitate like an enraged puppy.

At this time, Hiko had no doubt that if he gave him a sword, he would be able to chop everything in front of him. But thankfully, he didn't have any extra weapons to give him, and with his weak body, he didn't have the ability to do so.

So he just let him vent, and when he was about to vent his resentment, he shrugged his shoulders and said this to him.

"Well, you don't know what I want to know. So, can you still go? with your mother?"

"My mother, yes, mother. It was only then that Billy suddenly thought of his mother. And when he saw Osynvia slumped at the dining table, his heart suddenly relaxed, and then he said luckily. "It's fine. That bastard hadn't had time to make a move on my mother yet. Damn bastard, don't let me catch him. ”

"I'm afraid that even if you catch him, you may not be able to do anything to him. Brother, you're in terrible health right now. So, if I were you, I would leave here honestly with your mother, and not put some mouth cannon here. I warn you that the more you stay here, the more dangerous it will be. So, hurry up and get moving, understand?"

From an outsider's point of view, Hiko's concern is obviously excessive. However, he himself did not think so.

Because in his opinion, the boy and the woman in front of him are afraid that they will become very close to him in the future. This can be seen from the way he calls Billy. Brother, this is not a casual title. In addition to blood relations, only the closest people can enjoy such qualifications.

Of course, it is impossible for him, who has just met Billy, to regard him as the closest person. The reason why this is the case is entirely because he has already taken it upon himself to regard Billy as his father's illegitimate child.

Although Billy's figure is very thin, a little thinner than he was at the beginning, there is no sign of Nord blood at all. But the black hair and black eyes happened to be exactly the same as him. Of course, his father was the same. And it is precisely because of such a remarkable feature that Hiko will be close to him in the first time he sees him.

In all fairness, he didn't care that his father found another woman to marry, nor did he care that he had another half-brother. After all, he was raised by his father. Although there are relics left to him by his mother, more often than not, his feelings are more inclined to his father.

And for so many years, he saw his father's loneliness and suffering. An old man staring at the portrait of his wife in a daze, although it is a special expression of true feelings, but it is obviously loneliness that can't help but beat his heart.

At this time, what he needs is to find a way to soothe this loneliness, and it is clear that his unknown lover may well be the best medicine.

Although the appearance of her and this child is likely to pose a certain threat to Hiko's status, don't forget that their family is not an aristocratic family. The Nord world has always spoken with power, and as the owner of power, Hiko doesn't feel that he will be threatened in any way.

Even if his father gave them everything, he would still be able to live a good life. So he really didn't need to worry about anything, he really didn't have to think about anything else.

For example, how to build a good relationship with your future brother.

Although it sounds a little flattering, Hiko does have such an idea. He has a natural affection for this particular little brother. Maybe it was that thin and weak appearance that was too similar to him before, and let him see his own shadow in him. So almost subconsciously, he had an urge to take care of Billy as if he were his own brother.

Of course, now is not the best time to come up with such an idea. So after seeing Billy help his mother up, he was already urging the two of them.

"Hurry up and follow me to the deck. Our boat is outside, as long as you get on board, you're safe!"

"But that bastard Count and his subordinates?"

Billy clearly had some scruples, he didn't want to be stabbed in the back by a sinister guy like Field. In the face of his scruples, Hiko clenched his sword and put a mocking smile on his face.

"Their target should be you. If they don't want you to leave, they'll come out, and I'll be able to take advantage of the situation to catch them all. If they don't dare to come out, then it's just right. I'm also too lazy to fight a bunch of cowards. In any case, the initiative is in our hands. So, just do what I say!"
