With a "boom", the wooden door of the hall outside the house was knocked open, and Nina immediately got up and searched around for a place to hide. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But the room was too small, except for a plank bed for sleeping, only a table, a chair, and a wardrobe that could accommodate the living to hide, but was too conspicuous and obtrusive.

After a brief hesitation, she hid in the closet, because the window leading to the backyard was too high, and now she was pregnant, although this decision would likely cost her and the baby in her womb.

A knight in steel plate armor gently pushed open the door, followed by four soldiers, all armed, except for the lead knight who opened the visor of his helmet and scanned the room back and forth with his lowered eyes and rust-colored mustache.

She seemed to have seen him when he was attacked in the valley, when he was on a horse, and he was also wearing this steel armor, and he wore a glowing sword at his waist, but this time he was carrying a broadsword, and it was unremarkable. "Lind?" said the knight in his rough voice, "I have seen you, come with us, the high priest wants to see you." ”

Nina's heart skipped to her throat. Through the crack in the hair-thin closet door, she caught a glimpse of the man standing in the doorway, his eyes staring straight at the closet, as if he were staring at her through the crack in the door.

After a brief silence, the sound of iron boots stomping on the floor rang out. Nina saw the figure in the darkness getting bigger and bigger, gradually approaching her, and the pace did not hesitate, as if she had already discovered her. She prayed that someone would come to his rescue: Kenny, Mike, Lawrence, Marvin, Chestnut-haired Allen, Bald Sersi, Winnie the Sorcerer, Birdman, even Little Linde!

It's only a matter of time before what comes will come back. "Good evening, ma'am," the knight pulled open the closet door with his leather-gloved hand, his black bean-sized eyes staring at Nina in the dark, "and if you don't mind being too crowded inside, we can talk like that." ”

Nina looked at the narrow face in the steel helmet and forced herself to squeeze out a forced smile.

The candle illuminated the hut, and the knight sat down in front of the fireplace, took off his leather gloves very gracefully, picked up an orange from the basket on the table, and peeled it while looking at Nina's belly. "You're pregnant, ma'am. He uttered an obvious nonsense.

"Yes. Nina sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the orange in the knight's hand.

"Then don't think about how to escape, it's not good for the child in your belly!" said the knight with concern as he shoved orange petals into his mouth. He had taken off his helmet at the moment, his orange hair was as bright as orange juice, and the four soldiers had retreated from the house, as if out of the room.

"Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?" Nina was clearly not impressed by such false concern.

"Linde, what else could there be?" the knight shoved the last two orange petals into his mouth, juice running down his rust-colored mustache onto the steel armor, "Don't tell me, you don't know him. He smiled, "You're pregnant, so don't lie, your has a proverb: if a pregnant woman lies during pregnancy, the baby will lie when she is born." Hah!"

"I'm raising a baby, and Linde did take care of me before. "But this morning I had a sudden head attack, and I fell asleep until you knocked..... The sound of the door knocking woke me up. Now, the boy is gone, maybe he is out, he hasn't come back, or maybe he's not coming back, you see, I can't afford to pay his salary..... "Don't come back, little Linde." She thought.

"Ma'am," said the knight, reaching out to wipe the juice from his beard, "this village is small, why don't you just tell me where he has gone?"

"Brute!" Nina slammed up from the side of the bed, glaring at the smiling knight with the sword in his eyes, "This is Assyria! How dare you—"

"Why don't you dare?" the knight raised his eyes to interrupt her, "you stay in this hut without seeing the light all day, of course you don't know that Assyria is now in turmoil in its internal affairs, and there is a war with Elidu over the division of the border, how can their new queen have time to take care of this broken village where birds don't?" he picked up another orange from the basket, stretched out his calloused hand and rubbed it, and fixed his little eyes on the woman's belly, "Recruit it, ma'am." You don't want to see your kids so early, do you?"

Nina trembled with anger, but there was nothing she could do otherwise.

"I'll give you another orange time to think about it. Seeing that the woman did not speak, the knight began to peel the orange peel.

Seeing the soft orange peel slowly peeled off, and the orange flesh piece by piece was sent into the mouth full of yellow teeth, Nina's heart gradually bottomed out. She didn't know who else could save her at this moment, and she didn't know where Mio had gone, and she didn't know .....

"Let go of me—" There was an angry roar from outside the house, but it wasn't Linde.

"Captain, catch an alien. A soldier arrived to report it.

"Oh, is it? Quick, bring it in. The knight waved his hand, put the uneaten half of the orange on the table, and smiled back at Nina.

Two soldiers approached from outside the house, the ironclad making a crisp crash with each step. Nina suddenly became frightened, she knew that the person who had been captured was Mio, and if Linde hadn't been with him, he would definitely come back. It's just a matter of time.

The birdman was stuck in the doorway with his hands behind his back, flapping his wings. "Who the hell are you?!knights?!Why did you kill the blacksmith's children and wife?!and cut off his hands?!" He tried to break free of his hands as he used his wings to jam the narrow door of the master's room, "A bunch of brutes!!"

"Get in!" one of the ironclad soldiers roared, then gave the birdman a kick from behind.

Mio stumbled into the house, trying to get up on his hands and feet, when he touched a pair of cold steel boots. "Alien, I ask you, what about Linde?" asked the knight, sitting in his chair, looking at the hands holding his boots.

"Linde?" Mio got up and quickly looked around, relieved to see Nina standing at the table unharmed. "How do I know?" the alien shook his unwrapped wings and regained his languid look, "what about the manners of a human knight, all eaten by dogs?"

The two soldiers standing in the doorway drew their swords, and one of them spat and walked towards Mio with his saber in his hand.

"I'll give you one last chance," said the knight, holding out his hand to stop the soldier, "hand over Linde, and you may leave safely, if not." He snorted, "I'd love to try baby soup and roasted winged people—"

Almost instantly, Mio drew the sword from the knight's waist and spread his wings to keep Nina in the air. The knight slammed into the fight, and the soldier with the sword in both hands slashed at Mio.

Just then, a voice sounded outside the house. "Captain!

"Let go of me—" another voice shouted, along with the clashing of iron. It was Linde's hoarse cry, and Nina heard it well.
