"Hurry up, carry him to the room, how long will it take for Dr. Monddry to arrive?"

With a grim face, Dunbar commanded the soldiers behind him to carry the man lying in the carriage into the small chamber.

"Dr. Mondrey is almost there. ”

The cavalry squad leader wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "My lord, you said to bring it into the room, but which one should it be?"

"Use your brain, Your Excellency, my room, of course. ”

Dunbar glared at him with hatred, so frightened that the latter did not dare to say anything more, and ordered his soldiers to quickly carry the man on a stretcher into the council chamber.

...............

"Witch, you mean there's a witch in the Stone Castle?" asked Dunbar.

"Actually, it's two, my lord. ”

Suo Xi was neatly dressed, and there was no crimson slime dripping from the cracks in the scabbard, which showed that he had chosen a relatively peaceful way in the previous conversation with the witch, and the stone castle had just been freed from the misfortune of the mutant beasts, and it could no longer withstand the witch's destruction of the castle in such a fragile period.

Of course, part of it was due to the pressure that Devonie caused him. He could clearly feel the strength of this witch, and although he would not even be extinguished in front of her, he was not sure of victory.

The witcher's sigil has a certain amount of suppressive effect on the witch's sorcery, but this suppression is extremely limited, and he does not think that he can trap Daphne by casting the Ardennes sigil.

"All right, two witches. Dunbar repeated his words, "What are they doing in my city?"

"The witch killed two soldiers. ”

"Why?"

The two soldiers hid in the alleys of the weaving house and the hut, trying to attack the women who passed by, but they ran into one of the witches at the beginning. Sossi replied truthfully.

Dunbar's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he said coldly: "Good killing, this kind of scum is more than innocent, in the city-state I govern, such people will never be allowed to continue to survive and harm more people, you should remember how I dealt with Austin." ”

Of course, Suo Xi remembers, if he really wants to talk about it, the first barrel of asphalt was boiled by his own hands.

Austen did have some outstanding talents in military affairs, otherwise he would not have been so used by Marquis Raymond, but this man was also a complete scumbag, and his favorite thing to do was to violate his wife and daughter in front of the corpses of the vanquished, and this perverted pleasure made him want to stop.

Dunbar had suggested to the Marquis a long time ago that this kind of scum should be removed from the legion, but he always got an ambiguous answer, Austin's big knife Raymond used it quite easily, so naturally he would not hand it over so easily, not to mention that Austin still had some brains, at least when he was in the same place as Dunbar in Stone Fort, he never gave her a reason to attack herself, and even directly classified her past bad deeds into the category of rumors, even Dunbar couldn't do anything to him.

Until the days of peace lasted too long, Austin's innermost desire could no longer be suppressed, and he broke into the commoner's mansion directly through a drunken attempt, stabbed the male owner of the house to death, and bullied the female owner all night.

Dunbar was furious when he heard the news, and directly ordered his own soldiers to catch Austin and bring it to Raymond, Austin thought that there would be no situation with his status and merits, who knew that Dunbar's attitude this time was particularly resolute, the marquis must choose one of the two, and there was more than one general who would lead the troops, but only Dunbar could maintain friendship with the Duke of the South.

The results are obvious.

"Where is the witch now?"

"I placed them in the parlor, and as far as I know, they don't seem to want to cause unrest in the city, and promise to leave when the cold wave has passed. ”

Thorthy watched the light coming through the window, and just as he led Daphne and Hera to the council chamber, and as soon as he stepped through the door, the howling cold wind gradually calmed down, and the long-lost light pierced the dark clouds and hit the ground.

"It looks like it's time for them to leave, but before that they have a request to find their companions who have been drafted into the Legion. ”

"My lord," asked, "what should I do about this?" if you don't think it's appropriate to let the witch go, I can lead the soldiers to capture them, but I must say that it's not worth it. ”

"As you said, it's not worth it, and we don't have any reason to set up two more powerful enemies at a time when the castle is so empty. ”

Dunbar tapped his leg: "I'd rather fulfill their requests, harvest the friendship from the witches, and then try to keep them." ”

"Your Excellency?" Thorcy wondered, thinking that Dunbar was trying to drag the witch in the city and wait until the Marquis of Raymond returned to the city with the elite knights.

"Not what you think. ”

Dunbar waved his hand, "I mean recruit them and let them join the City Defense Legion as advisors." ”

"They're witches......"

"It's because they're witches that I think that. Dunbar said, "You should know better than me what kind of terrifying abilities the mutant monsters that appeared outside the castle this time have. And judging from the information obtained so far, their appearance is by no means accidental, there is a hidden force driving the army of mutants, and the next time the monster appears may be ten times more dangerous than now, and there is no way to stop the attack of the monster with ordinary soldiers and a small number of knights.

What we need is a stronger boost, and this power can come from magicians, but the recent attitude of magicians towards the empire and the behavior of mages secretly gathered by the magician guild show that this group of people is about to get out of control, and even His Majesty the Emperor cannot restrain magicians, let alone us? “

Dunbar said, "If others don't want to give, I can." Anything that helps fight off monsters, I need it, and now is not the time for humanity to fight its own infighting. ”

"That's right. She said, "You said the witch was looking for a companion who had been drafted into the Legion, did she name her?"

"Yes, the name is ......"

Squeak –

The door to the room was pushed open, and Dr. Mondray stepped out with his medicine box.

"It's not a big problem, it's just that the body is relatively weak, and you can recover after a few days of rest. Also, he's about to wake up. ”

"Thank you, Dr. Mondray. ”

Dunbar stood up, thanked the doctor, and then turned to Sossi and said, "You receive two witch ladies for me first, and I need to go in and see what happens." ”

"That name—" Thorthy said.

Dunbar waved his hand: "We'll talk about it later." ”

.....................

Light.

The light that has not been seen for a long time.

Hodge opened his eyes, feeling the slight warmth contained in the light, his body was very comfortable, this year's cold wave lasted for an unusually long time, and he almost forgot what the sun looked like.

However, because he had been in the dark environment for a long time and only felt the light for a short while, he couldn't adapt to the dazzling feeling, and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands.

However, the light perceived by the eyes has not diminished, but has become brighter

Why?

He looked at his palm, which was faintly covered with a flowing film on the skin of the palm and the back of the palm.

This film releases ...... Light?

My palms are shining?

The door was pushed open, and Dunbar, who had just entered, saw his glowing palms.

"What is this?" she asked, surprised.

"I don't know. Hodge flipped his palm, "About the advancement of ability?"

"Well, it seems like I've been getting used to a lot of strange things in my time with you. Dunbar shrugged and walked over to his bed, "How does it feel, does it hurt anywhere?"

"Except for some stiff neck pain. Hodge twisted his neck, "What happened? before I lost consciousness." ”

"You swallowed the bead, and then the whole person fell, and if it weren't for the breath, we would have almost thought you were dead. ”

"We"? You mean Oliver?"

"yes, it's still him who carried you out of the jungle. ”

"How is he now?"

"I had already rested, and before leaving, he promised me that he would never reveal anything he saw. Dunbar glanced at him, "You've made a good friend." ”

"Good luck. Hodge sat up with a wry smile, looked at Dunbar's dress, nodded and said, "Yes, this outfit suits you very well, if it weren't for the inside story, maybe I wouldn't have been able to recognize you as a woman." ”

"It has nothing to do with clothes, my father's best friend used to cast a powerful confusion spell, and even a master magician and witch may not be able to tell my true gender, let alone an ordinary person. ”

Dunbar said, "But thank you for the compliment, Mr. Harlow...... Or rather, Mr. Hodge?"

"Hodge Gryffin. Hodge patted the back of the neck, "I'm sorry to hide my identity from you, but I don't think I'm the only one, by the way, where is this now?"

"The top floor of the council chamber of Stone Fort. ”

"That's what I thought, I shouldn't call you Luisa anymore, right? ”

"Dunbar Claire. ”

Dunbar said calmly, "How long did it take you to see it?"

"Since you've finished telling the story. ”

Hodge sighed, "There aren't many people with that kind of story, not to mention that your clothes and sword show that you are not just an ordinary traveler." ”

"The title of the little princess seems to be really right. ”

Hodge joked that the Claire family had also been the kings of the South, and that Dunbar was indeed worthy of that name.

Dunbar smiled and replied, "You know what? ”

......

......

"Hiss——!"
