Chapter 4 Entrustment

In the steep canyon, the battle between bandits and guards staged a life-and-death battle.

"Why are you so stubborn, old fellow, just give us something and we'll go at once. You don't have to give your lives for nothing, how about it?" After some fighting, Basha, the leader of the bandits who had been repelled from the attack, looked at the scarred people behind him, and couldn't help but tug at the corners of his mouth.

"Don't be delusional, you have the audacity to rob the Earl of Justice. All of you will be wanted and sent to the gallows. Gehr, the leader of the guards, glared at the bandit in front of him, and although he was past middle age, he still stood tall, only his armor covered with swords and axes told the fierceness of the battle.

The old guy is quite capable of fighting, resisting the surprise attack of his own group, and can still beat himself back. If it weren't for the fact that the adult behind him had to get the goods here, he would have been in the wind a long time ago. Ma's, it looks like I'm going to pay my blood, what a fucking loss. Basha thought to himself as he gestured vaguely.

"There's no need for the gallows, after all, I haven't enjoyed enough of this fancy world, do it" Basha waited for the time to come, and gave the order blatantly.

Feeling the murderous intent rising behind him, Gehr swung his sword quickly and back, but he was still a step slower. He couldn't dodge the fatal blow that the opponent had carefully prepared.

The sharp dagger pierced Gehr's chest from behind, blood gushing out. He stabbed the earth with his sword in both hands, holding on to it without falling, looking at the bandits who rushed over, and the thin young man who was in the middle of the bandits.

"One blow, an instant away, such a shrewd assassin, I didn't even notice, it seems that I am really old, but I can't live up to the trust of the earl" Geer looked weakly at the bandit leader who came over, the guards behind him, without his own command, are gradually defeated, and sooner or later they will be gnawed by this group of wild wolves.

"I spent a lot of money to get him to help, damn the stinky guy, it's all because of you" Basha, the bandit leader who walked in front of Gehr, stabbed Gehr in the chest again, kicked him in the way, and snatched the long sword in his hand, "Damn, you stinky knights, the sword is very good."

"The Earl will, will send you to the gallows," said Gehr on the ground.

"Hmph, your Lord Count will meet you soon" Looking at Gehr's frightened expression, Basha, who was quite satisfied, ignored Gehr, who was out of breath and out of breath, and went to inspect the loot this time.

"You've done my job brilliantly, you're a true three-star magician now, and you've got the books you want about magicians and the history of worldly nations, and it's up to you to find the missing little prince."

At this time, Aya had already left the temporary residence where she had stayed for a month, but recalling that hateful shadow, Aya still couldn't help but resent. The shadow just threw himself into this barren mountain and wilderness, where birds don't, and what else did he say, there would be a clue to the little prince here.

"Could it be that the shadow is annoyed by his own daily questions, so he casually gave himself a direction, don't, big guy, I was wrong, can I change to a place like a village, don't be this barren mountain and wild mountains" called every day, shouting that the earth is not spiritual, Aya, while complaining, continued to walk forward.

The sound of fighting in the distance caught Aya's attention. The wind spell she cast could only move a short distance, so when she arrived, she saw dozens of corpses lying on the ground. Aya, stimulated by this bloody scene, almost threw up.

The enemy she faced before, Seth was killed by her own hands, but he was cracked and dissipated, so the impact on Aya was not so great. Derge was destroyed by the shadow, and Aya was already exhausted and unconscious at that time, and when she woke up, everything was the same again, so she didn't feel anything.

Only this time is the first time Aya has faced such a bloody scene. Aya, who endured the discomfort, shuttled among the stumps and broken arms, hoping to find someone alive.

"This can be lived, it can be seen that it is a character" Aya looked at Gehr, who had been stabbed twice and still had a faint breath when he fell to the ground.

"Am I in heaven?" Ger, who woke up, looked at Aya in front of him.

"You're not dead yet, but you're almost there, your injuries are too severe, and magic isn't everything, I can only stimulate your remaining life force and wake you up for a short while. Aya's reply made Gehr excited.

"Earl, Earl. Honorable Magician, you must save the Earl, those who are young will be disadvantageous to the Earl."

"Don't get excited, what the hell is going on?" Aya looked at the excited Gehr very helplessly.

"Lord Earl, the goods purchased with a lot of money have been robbed by the enemy. If you can tell the Earl what is going on here, you will be rewarded very handsomely, and the entire Soth family will be grateful to you. And I, Knight Gehr, will swear to God that in the afterlife I will give everything I have, including my life, for you and your offspring. ”

"Where is the Earl's Castle you said?" looked at Gel's hopeful eyes, Aya asked aloud.

"Follow this direction, go all the way, and over a hill you will see the castle of the Soth family, and the Soth family will definitely be grateful to you. Gehr looked at Aya in front of him, and he pinned all his hopes on Aya.

"Don't worry, I'll go" Aya looked at Gell who received an affirmative reply and closed her eyes in relief.

In fact, the time the magic lasted had already arrived a minute before. In other words, Gehr should have been dead by the time he finished the last sentence. But Gehr was stiff and didn't close his eyes until he got Aya's reply.

This made Aya look at the dead Gehr in front of her, and was in awe. Aya remembered the ancient knights in the old world that were only seen on TV, and once they took an oath, they would give everything for those who were loyal to them.

Gehr in front of him is also such a knight, a knight with such a strong obsession. Aya hates fighting, especially the kind of fight that she has to get involved in.

But for the knight Gehr, Aya respected him and admired him. Moreover, since he has promised him, he will definitely go to the matter of being entrusted with loyalty.

Aya spent some effort burying Gehr and his companions. And they used a broken wooden board as their tombstone, which had no name on it, only ten big characters—to live for glory, to die for glory.

Two days later, the castle where the Soth family was located.

"It's so big, it's different from what I expected, the castle in this world is so different from the castle in the world of Europe in the previous world. The castle is a big city in its own right, but the architecture is a little bit Gothic. Aya looked at the brightly lit city in front of her and sighed at the different "castles" in this world.

Meanwhile.

Inside a tall building, the emaciated young man who had dealt the fatal blow to Gehr stood, reporting to the people in the shadows about the battle he had fought with Gehr two days earlier.

"I didn't leave any clues, I don't want to be bitten on the leg by that old guy who fought back on his last day and let others see the joke" The person in the shadow stroked the exquisite goods sent by the bandit leader Basha, and could only judge from the voice that the other party was a middle-aged man, and he didn't know anything else.

"Yes, my lord, no one survived. We also brought back all the corpses of Basha's men, leaving no trace. The emaciated young man replied respectfully.

"Basha doesn't know yet, your relationship with me, or not, you still have important tasks. However, I can't wait to see the old fellow's horrified look when he receives the news of Gehr's death and the looting of his goods, and I am really looking forward to it!"

In stark contrast to the man in the shadows, the old earl, Gaia Sos at this time, frowned, listening to the report of his men.

"The escort team that was released to confuse the opponent has all returned safely one after another, but the team led by Gehr, who has all his hopes, has not heard for a long time, could it be that his plan has been frustrated, and the magic weapon has been robbed, if this is really the case, the Soth family is a piece of fat in the mouths of the other families around!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his whole body strength had been drained, and sat down on the main chair.

All he could do now was pray for Ger to return, but there seemed to be a huge mouth in the darkness, devouring Gaia's last glimmer of hope.
