"I didn't expect you to save her......" Stannis really felt very strange in thinking about it now, because he had seen Kovo's methods, if the smiling man was really determined to kill, it couldn't just leave a scar behind Anya's ear.

"After that night's massacre, I knew the sin of my sin, and I left Black Watch silently, hoping to find a way to atone for my sins and not get involved in the strife until you find me. ”

Stannis stood up and began to walk around the room, he knew that the fate of that guy was now in his own hands, he looked at Anya on the bed, his palms holding the hilt of his sword were sweaty.

In the end, he made his decision, "The Smiling Man is dead, and I think this is the end of the matter." ”

"You've really decided to let me go!" Kovo didn't seem to expect Stannis to be so generous, even though the incident itself had nothing to do with him.

Stannis nodded affirmatively, because he really felt that the previous smiling man was dead, and now he was only a person who was making amends for his sins, and maybe in this troubled world, he would have to revise his morality a little.

"And what would you say to Miss Anya?"

This is indeed a headache, although he let Kovo go, Anya will continue to hunt down the smiling man.

But after only a few seconds of thought, Stannis found a solution, "I'll take Anya away and tell her when she wakes up that the Smiling Man has been killed by me." ”

He didn't lie at this point, the smiling man of the past is indeed dead.

Corvo nodded, this is indeed the best solution.

"But what token do you have that proves your identity, that she will recognize at a glance and be convinced that you are indeed dead. Stannis still knows how to do everything, and he thinks that as the commander of the Black Watch, there must be something that can be used to identify himself, such as a sword, a ring, or even a helmet.

"I see. Corvo understood what he meant, and then he made a move that stunned Stannis.

He actually picked up a knife to peel fruit and cut off the scars on both sides of his mouth!

Then Corvo threw the two pieces of bloody skin directly at Stannis, "I should be enough to rip off these two pieces of meat, right?"

Stannis didn't even dare to pick it up with his hands, "...... While it's true that this is your sign, it's a little too bloody...... You can't get anything else that's a little more civilized. ”

But now that the wood is in the boat, Stannis also said that there is nothing more to say, and he takes a piece of cloth to wrap the two pieces of flesh with the skin attached, but with this thing, Anya is absolutely convinced that the smiling man has died at his hands.

"Alright, go ahead and wrap up your wounds, it's weird. ”

Stannis said in disgust, when there was a knock on the door, it was Evelyn, and she said with a smile: "Dinner is ready, let's rest early!"

The lord's heart melted by what she said, and he floated out with her as if his soul had been taken away.

At the dinner table, Kimberly had already begun to drink happily, because he saw his friend walk in alive, although there were two more wounds on the corners of his mouth, but it seemed that Stannis did not kill him because of his old grudge.

Stannis sat down, and he was already hungry and immediately stuffed himself with nonsense, but the delicacies still did not stop him.

"I'll leave here with Anya tomorrow morning, so how are you going to go on next?"

Corvo took Heliana's hand beside her, "I'm going to live in seclusion with her, but if you need my help, I'll definitely come out." ”

"Don't, I appreciate your kindness, but when Anya sees you in the future, she will definitely kill me first and then kill you, so what about you, Kimberley Magistrate?"

The chubby county magistrate said happily: "I'm going to find some people to rebuild Oak Town, after all, I'm still a county magistrate, although the town is gone, but there are still a few villages under my hands, rest assured that I will carefully review the move in this time, and I won't let some non-human creatures mix in it." ”

"No, you're too arrogant, aren't you, aren't you afraid that the Duke will come back and trouble you?" Stannis didn't expect this guy to be so bold and reckless, and he didn't even clamp his tail at this time.

But Kimberly smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter, I also know a few people in the Imperial White Tower, and Garcia also has people around him who can say good things for me, and it is not so easy for Duke Garcia to kill me in the open." ”

"Then you're not afraid that he will assassinate again?" Stannis had already seen the methods by which the Duke instructed Tucker to carry out the assassination.

But Kimberly still didn't seem to care, "It's up to you whether I can survive or not?"

"Me?" Stannis asked, pointing to his curiosity.

"If you are bent on overthrowing the Duke's rule, I am afraid that Your Excellency Garcia is not in the mood to care about my little county magistrate in this remote area. ”

Stannis spread his hands helplessly, "How can everyone know my ambitions, my conspiracy is really too unsuccessful." ”

But Kimberly told him not to care, "Now the whole Duchy can see that the Garcia family intends to mess with you, as long as the lords who are not too stupid know what you have done, Garcia's old fox is so eager to get rid of you, it has been more than ten years, and no one has dared to resist the Duke's rule, but you dare to stand up, and those lords have come to make a choice." ”

"Will anyone be on my side?" Stannis felt unconfident, after all, he was only a small earl, and he wanted to challenge the supreme duke, that is, he just paid lip service, but when the day came, he seemed helpless.

But Kimberly gave him a firm look, "I have always been very accurate in my opinion, and the courage you show is admirable, but you are indeed a little inferior in terms of ability." ”

“......”

Stannis suddenly felt that the burden on his body had increased several times, and he was now fighting on two fronts, one for humans and the other for the Abyss Master.

After eating dinner and resting well, Stannis left with Anya, who was still unconscious, and after so many experiences, Stannis finally completed his original task, which was to bring Anya back 'safe'.

Despite his repeated requests for Evelyn to come with him, Raven remained a lone traveler and left alone, and since she had completed the task given to her by the Royal Palace, there was no need to stay with Stannis.

To Stannis, Evelyn is still a woman of mystery.
