www.biquge.info"No, little Seta, you can't be blamed for this, you just did what you were supposed to do"

"On behalf of the Martin family, I thank you for your bravery and loyalty"

The knight's wife is over forty years old, but she still has the charm, and the graceful curves under the robe are faint;

At this time, her eyes were slightly red, her fingers were twisted in embroidered silk scarves until her knuckles were white, and her shoulders were straight, and she calmly said to the knight squire in front of her;

I admired this woman slightly in my heart, maybe this is the aristocratic demeanor, Seta bowed:

"I'm so sorry ma'am, I brought this bad news to you"

"You and the knight are respectable nobles"

As he spoke, he put his hand in his arms, carefully took out a package, and wrapped it very tightly, as if there was something precious in it, and dragged this small package He said in a deep voice:

"This was found on the battlefield, and now it's up to you, ma'am"

Anna, who was standing aside, stretched out her hand to take it, looked at it briefly, turned around and handed it to the knight's wife, and she must have guessed what was inside, tremblingly picked up the small package, stroked it and stood up, and said proudly:

"I'm sorry, little Seta, I need to go inside"

"Yes, ma'am!"

"Anna, you take the brave little Seta to the kitchen, he should be hungry after walking so far" nodded at Seta after speaking:

"Let's go, let's go to dinner first, we'll talk later"

"Lady Obedience"

"Thank you for your hospitality, ma'am"

The two watched as the knight's wife went up to the second floor of the villa and into one of the rooms;

The tall servant sighed:

"Let's go, there's freshly made mashed potatoes in the kitchen"

The kitchen is next door to the big room and is connected by a wooden hallway;

Walking through the creaking hallway, the two entered the kitchen;

The kitchen was not very large, and there was a long table in the middle where the servants ate; the Martin family was only the lowest-ranking noble servant, and there were not many servants, so the long table was not large enough for four people to eat;

This villa also has a history, it was built more than sixty years ago during the time of the first Martin Knight, and then it was only repaired but not built, so the whole house has a smell of wood rotten, and it lingers on the tip of the nose;

Seta sat down at the long table and took off her gloves and set them aside;

The last time he came here was to hunt a large wild boar with the old knight, and the old knight was very happy to have a celebration here with a few of his attendants;

Thinking of the delicacy of the ale at that time, Seta licked her lips;

Hey, as if there was no distilled liquor in this world, could he make it himself? Maybe he could make a lot of money! But soon, he shook his head;

This is a feudal society, and the social status of businessmen is not high! If you really make money, I am afraid that you will not be greeted by beautiful enjoyment, but by the sword of conspiracy!

Shaking his head, let's talk about making money or something later;

In a short time, Anna prepared the food, which was neither hearty nor delicious, of course:

A long loaf of black bread, and a large bowl of mashed potatoes, and as for the sweet white bread, I'm sorry, that was a luxury that only the great nobles could want, and not to mention that Seta was just a small squire of the freedmen, not even the Martin knights!

Having set out from the forest in the morning, and having not eaten anything for more than ten hours now, Seta tore off a small piece of bread and dipped it in mashed potatoes and put it in his mouth:

"Ahem~ahem!" patted his chest before swallowing;

"Touch!" a large glass of water was placed in front of him;

"Drink!"

Seta smiled slightly, picked up the glass of water and took a sip:

"Thank you, Anna"

"Eat quickly, Madame may come down soon"

"Okay!" Seta nodded, eating a little faster;

Anna walked to the door and sat on the stump of the tree she had just chopped wood, not knowing what she was thinking;

Could it be that among the dead this time was her old lover, who looked at the maid's bucket-like waist and shook her head, and decided not to ask this stupid question;

The Knight's Lady appeared a little earlier than Seta thought;

When she saw her again, there was no trace of crying on her face, but her complexion looked much haggard than before;

What a strong woman, Seta thought to herself;

Lady Martin sat down in a high-backed chair, nodded to the attendants below, and said:

"Brave squire, can you elaborate on what you have encountered?"

There were only two of them in the room, and Seta stooped and saluted:

"As you wish, ma'am!"

Standing up straight, Seta said in a deep voice:

"Didn't have any problems on the first day of departure, just felt that the fog in the forest was thicker than ever"

"The next few days were also normal, until the fifth day"

"At noon on the fifth day, we encountered the first demon squad, there were only thirteen demons, and all of them were small demons, we quickly defeated them, only a few serfs were injured but not serious"

There was no change in the knight's face, no sadness or any other expression;

Seta continues:

"On the sixth and seventh days, we encountered five such demon squads in a row, and we were all defeated, but our wounded people also appeared, and there were also squires among them."

Madame Knight's face finally changed, and she spoke for the first time:

"Are you saying that the demons will use their tactics, and the constant use of the little demons will drain your strength?"

Worthy of being a woman of the knight family, Seta nodded:

"Yes, ma'am, exactly!"

"Go on, little Seta, I'd like to know more about it."

"Good lady," Seta bowed, and continued:

"The knight had already noticed that something was wrong, and we were going to retreat to a safe place to investigate, and then we decided to stop."

"But at this time, I realized that I had gone too deep in the forest, and it was not so easy to get out."

"On the night of the eighth day, more than a hundred demons appeared in front of us, and among them there was a great demon."

"Obviously, we have fallen for the trick, for the devil's tricks"

"I was knocked unconscious in the fight, and when I woke up、、、"

"I'm so sorry, ma'am!"

This is the more plausible explanation that Seta thought of on the way back, why is he still alive when everyone else is dead, and can't he tell others that he is back from the dead, right?

As for whether this explanation can win the trust of the knight's lady in front of him, Seta is not absolutely sure;

But fortunately, when Seta looked up to see what the knight's expression was, she heard:

"Thank you very much, little Seta, for bringing back this news and for letting Martin's soul rest in peace"

Secretly relieved in his heart, he touched the dagger in his sleeve, and Seta raised his head, his eyes were already red:

"I'm so sorry, ma'am! I didn't do my duty to protect! I didn't protect the knight!"

Madame Knight shook her head:

"No, little Seta, it's not your fault;

"I've got a letter here, and you can take it now and give it to Sir Finn," he said, and took out a small bag of money:

"It's what you spend on the road, you go now"

Seta was a little unsure of Madame's thoughts, was it because he felt that Martin Village's force was too low to deal with him, so he wanted Sir Finn to deal with him?

Shaking his head, Seta bowed:

"Okay, ma'am, I'll send it"

"By the way, madam, I also brought back the knight's sword, and I put it outside the door."

"Just give it to Anna, Anna will take care of it"

"Yes, ma'am"

He took the letter and the purse, and handed the knight's sword to Anna at the door;

There were no horses in the manor, so he had to walk to Finn's Castle, and as it got darker and darker, the fog grew heavier, and the whole world looked like a black-and-white photograph:

dark, terrifying;
