The two clerks chased after the path with a thick parchment, and they stood at the junction of the stream, searching the crowd and soon finding Selena, who was kneeling on the rocky bank by the stream.

The two clerks looked at Serena suspiciously, and then at Surdak, who was submerged in the stream.

Surdak rose from the stream, and he washed the dirt from his body, the scars from the burns on his body more clearly revealed. The skin on his chest and back was covered with bruish-purple and flesh-pink scars, some of which were connected together like centipedes, and although this was already the appearance of the Holy Light after healing, it still looked a little shocking.

The children gathered around the stream saw the scars on Surdak's body and whispered in unison.

Selena took out a loofah pulp from the tub and shivered slightly as she coldly touched Surdak's shoulder.

Surdak saw the little girl under the skirt staring at him with round eyes, his face stretched out a little frightened, he sat on a stone by the stream that was extremely clean by the stream, pointed to a dark purple scar on his chest, and asked Signa, who was hiding between Selena's legs, "Signa, are you afraid?" ”

The little girl pursed her lips and shook her head vigorously, her two little feet in the water looked like poor little sights, and she looked at the two clerks with some concern, and Surdak knew the source of the little girl's fear.

"What happened?" Surdak looked up and asked the man dressed as a clerk.

While he chested. He did not wear a knight's insignia before, but the two civilian clerks of the town hall said very respectfully: "We have gone through a population check this time and learned that there are some widows of fallen soldiers in the village of Wall. ”

Hearing this clerk say this, Surdak immediately thought of the defeat in the battle of Moyun Ridge, where at least nearly 10,000 soldiers were killed, which might affect tens of thousands of families in the Talapakant area of Osorno County, Bena Province, and he frowned and stared at the clerk, waiting for him to continue.

The clerk was a little uncomfortable by Surdak's gaze, he coughed lightly to ease his embarrassment, and then said as scripted: "According to the constitution of the Grimm Empire, the widows of these war dead are to be remarried within three years, and the villages in the area around the city of Highlanza are hereby notified. ”

The eyes of the two clerks swept into the crowd in unison, but they could not find the person they were looking for, so they could only bite the bullet and say, "But after our investigation, it was found that Ms. Selena's husband died of an epidemic in the winter three years ago, which means that Ms. Selena must remarry." ”

They tried to get closer to Selena again, Selena didn't have any expression on her face, but Surdak could feel her breathing becoming a little rapid, the hand holding the loofah almost dug her nails into the flesh, although the expression on her face seemed calm, in fact, her body betrayed her, and her body was even trembling.

Surdak looked at the clerk suspiciously, and then asked him, "Can't you see me?" ”

His eyes were as sharp as knives, and the warriors who walked down from the battlefield had received the baptism of blood, seen real death, and had a kind of strong man's coercion on his body.

"Huh?" The two registrars were somewhat unresponsive, as it was clearly inconsistent with the information they had learned.

"I mean, you can't see me? I...... Knight Surdak is standing right in front of you, but you are blind to me, and you want to take her in front of me? He stood up from the stone and puffed out his chest at the clerk.

"Me!" Surdak grinned and pointed to the scar on his shoulder, which was probably the only scar left on the battlefield in the Warsaw plane, and the rest of the burns were not left on the battlefield, and he felt that he couldn't point to the wrong place, so he clicked on the scar three times in a row before saying, "...... Bloody battles on the plane of Warsaw, you can see what those demons have left behind me, but what are you doing behind you? ”

At this time, the two clerks understood a little, and asked a little weakly: "Knight Surdak, what do you mean...... Are you going to marry Ms. Selena? ”

"Can't you see this?" Surdak looked dissatisfied, and snorted.

Hurriedly bent down and gave a salute, and said repeatedly: "I'm sorry, this time we didn't investigate enough, please forgive me for the trouble I have caused!" ”

Some of the surrounding villagers who rushed over to watch saw that the clerk who came from the city of Highlanza actually took the initiative to admit that it was a mistake in his work, and no matter what the truth was, in short, it was the Surdak knight in his village who took the blame, and they immediately became in an uproar, and they even felt that they could make the two usually high-spirited clerks a little helpless, this should be the biggest victory in the history of Wall Village.

The two clerks stood at the intersection and saw that the villagers were also excited, and immediately realized that they should leave the place.

Then he hurriedly left amid the boos of the surrounding villagers. This kind of clerk who does the census is probably the most difficult group of people in the city hall, in other words, it is a job that requires a certain mass base to do well.

Standing shirtless, standing in the middle of the crowd, Surdak stretched out his hand to stop the villagers' boos, and he felt that the two clerks should still pay the most basic respect. After all, they represent the Archon of the city of Highlandza.

At this time, Selena was still half-kneeling by the stream, the swan-like noble snow-white neck drooping, she knelt there with her head bowed, the stream on the bank had soaked her linen skirt, which made the long skirt tightly wrap her round legs, the little girl pulled the corner of the skirt and stood beside her, looking at the scene in front of her with a look of ignorance, and the beautiful woman who was half-kneeling on the ground, as if she had exhausted all the strength in her body, she put one hand around the little girl, and her originally cold face was already full of tears.

The old village chief took two deep puffs of cigarette and sighed quietly under the chestnut tree beside him: "This is also a hard-working woman. ”

From the beginning to the end of this matter, the old village chief had been sitting silently under the chestnut tree, neither blocking nor maneuvering around it, which was very contrary to his usual code of conduct.

Surdak turned around and put the leather armor on his body, then walked to the stream, stretched out his hand and pulled Selena who was kneeling by the stream up, and walked out in full view of everyone.

Bringing Selena back to her door, which looked more like a dilapidated house, Surdak looked at Selena with some embarrassment, as if she would not refuse to pull her into the stone house at this time......

He pondered for a moment before taking a deep breath, extinguishing the impulsive thoughts in his heart, and said to the beautiful woman in front of him, who had been keeping her head down, "They probably won't be here for a while......

When Surdak said they were referring to the two clerks.

Selena was shocked and looked up at Surdak in some panic.

Surdak smiled helplessly: "I didn't say I wanted to leave you alone...... I just want to say that we should all give each other a little bit of time so that we can get to know each other well, after all, there is still a long way to go, and I have to convince Sheila and Natasha that you know my family, and their ideas are also important to me......"

Looking at Surdak's figure about to disappear on the village road, Selena, who was standing at the door of the house, raised her neck slightly.

A ray of hope seemed to rise in her beautiful but indifferent eyes, and her slightly sexy lips were slightly upturned in an arc.
