Chapter Ninety-Four: The Righteous Thief: Tragedy
"I'm back!" Jesse walked into the gate of the thief camp, but there was no reply from the inside of the courtyard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Anyone?" he shouted, but no sound could be heard from inside.
"Wait here. Jesse's expression gradually became serious, he opened the door of the council chamber, only glanced at it, and ran to the corner and vomited, the real hell is nothing more than this scene.
"Damn!" tears finally overflowed, and the people he knew, the people he loved, except for a few young girls, were all inside. "Why is this happening......" He gripped the sword at his waist tightly, his muscles flaring up and his fingers white, both anger and fear.
"What's wrong?" came the girl's timid voice behind her.
"Nothing. Jesse's voice was dry. "Don't go over!" he yelled at the girl who was about to walk into the council chamber, and the girl shook and cried.
"I'm sorry. Jesse struggled to his feet, his eyes that had been full of brilliance became hollow, revenge, revenge, revenge!! revenge!!! this was his only thought now. "If only that rabbit were still around. Without any undulating voice, squeezed out of his mouth, "Now I have no room to protect you." ”
After burying the body with his still movable hands, he walked to the gate step by step, the enemy was already gone, but he knew who the enemy was and where he stayed.
At that moment, a small hand grabbed his sleeve from behind, "At least, let's eat something first." The girl plucked up her courage.
Jesse agreed, and it was a reasonable suggestion.
At the large round dining table, there were only two people sitting, and there was nothing but the sound of the clashing of utensils.
"I'm sorry, but it's always been my mother who cooks the dishes. The first to speak was the girl, and after saying this, she suddenly began to sob, and the two of them only had barely edible food on their plates.
Jesse took a bite of the charred black on the plate and ate it into his stomach, the taste was no longer important, the nutrition was no longer important, the most important thing was the energy, the energy that allowed him to swing an extra sword in the next battle.
"Don't cry, you can still go back to them. Jesse's voice was still cold.
"Already...... No way. The girl cried even harder.
"It turns out that we are the same. After a moment's pause, his gaze fell straight on the girl's face, "What's your name?"
"Nana. The girl replied.
"Nana...... Jesse stood up, "To live, Nana, not like me." ”
"Don't leave me!" the girl cried out just as Jesse was about to walk out of the room, "Please, I don't want to...... Alone. Wiping away the tears that kept rolling down, the girl choked up.
"I'm sorry, I've lost too many things. After a moment's pause, he walked out of the room without looking back.
As soon as he left the room, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Jesse glanced in surprise in the direction of the smoke and dust, "I didn't expect you to come back......" he smiled hideously.
"Is this the lair of the righteous thief......" The horse's hooves gradually slowed, and the captain of the garrison looked around with a little vigilance, and sighed, "I didn't expect that the righteous thief who was loved by the townspeople a few days ago would become our prey." "Actually, to the garrison, the likes of righteous thieves are not worth mentioning, and the reason why the lords let them go is because they have solved many problems for the lords that are inconvenient for the lords to meddle in.
Although they rob the rich and help the poor, they never shoot at the rich with a conscience, on the contrary, their targets are only those who disrupt the order by exploiting the loopholes of the law for their own selfish interests, in this win-win situation, everything is developing in a good direction, for this reason, even the garrison does not have any ill feelings towards them, but for some reason, this group, suddenly shot at the girls in the town, this kind of thing, the garrison captain is unwilling to believe it, but the evidence is in front of his eyes, so that he has to believe, in short, first defeat these so-called righteous thieves, maybe, and save all those girls。
"Captain Kaul, drink some water. The vice-captain who handed out the kettle was as courteous as ever.
"You kid always spends his energy in this kind of place, practicing more swordsmanship, which is better than anything else. With that, Kaul took the kettle and drank half of it in one gulp.
"That's not all because your swordsmanship is too strong, with you, it doesn't make sense for us to practice swordsmanship. "This person was suddenly appointed as the vice-captain a few days ago, and he is a person who is very good at compliments, but this compliment, no matter how you listen to it, is a little harsh.
Kaul glanced at him and didn't say anything, he didn't like this kind of person, he didn't like it all the time, but when he made many proposals to let a more suitable person take his place, he was rejected by the lord, fortunately, this guy didn't do anything bad, and he had no reason to be too hostile to him.
The group soon came to the square.
"Strange. Kaul looked at the dozens of freshly dug graves in the courtyard and frowned, how could so many people die?
At this moment, a figure suddenly burst out from the corner that no one noticed, and stabbed the captain in the throat with a sword, but the strength of the two sides was too far apart, and with just one sword, the attacker was knocked to the ground.
"What's going on with these graves?" Kaul kicked the attacker's sword away from the ground, and put his heavy sword against the other party's throat, "Is that you?"
"You ask me what's the matter?!" The restrained man did not have the slightest fear, but roared hoarsely, "This is your masterpiece!!" He stared at Kaul viciously, and the look in his eyes made the conqueror, who was far stronger than him, tremble uncontrollably, and he struggled like a beast, ignoring the captain's sword, ignoring the pain of the wound.
"This guy, what's going on?" Facing this weak man who could be disposed of with a single sword, he suddenly felt a fear that he had never even felt in the face of a strong man.
"Captain, deal with this kind of sinner, just kill it with a sword. The vice-captain stepped up, raised his heavy sword, and slashed at Jesse.
"Don't!" At this moment, Nana, who was hiding in the room, suddenly rushed out, stretched her arms, and stopped in front of Jesse, "Don't hurt him!" The girl gritted her teeth and trembled, facing the man in front of her.
"What are you doing out here!" Jesse's face was also anxious, "They were the ones who killed your family and almost took you away!"
"You ...... What the hell are you talking about?" Kaul really couldn't figure it out, this girl should know who her robber was, and her willingness to stand up to protect the youth showed that the young man was by no means a murderer.
