At night, the moonlight is like snow.

Through the glass window, it left a dim spot of light on the floor.

Selena sat on the big bed in a light gauze pajamas and combed her long hair that was still slightly wet, there was no light in the room, and through the moonlight outside the window, her graceful body showed a clear outline under the nightdress.

Surdak pushed the door and walked in, wiped the water droplets on his body with a bath towel, walked to Selena's side, pinched her white chin with his hand, lifted her beautiful face slightly, leaned over to peck her soft lips, and pried the tip of his tongue open the snow-white teeth......

……

Signa lay on the soft leather sofa in the study, covering her head with the blanket, she hid under the blanket, the unfamiliar environment made her unable to sleep at all, she originally wanted to snuggle up in Selena's arms and sleep comfortably, but now she can only lie on some sofas and count the sheep, one, two, three......

The creaking of the bed in the next room made her even more sleepless, and she even wondered if the girl named Nika in the servant's room would be asleep now.

She stepped barefoot on the floor, trying to walk to the square table in the study and pour herself a glass of water.

'Tuk Tuk'

The knock on the door at night was very clear, she was sure that someone was standing outside the door, she put down the glass of water in her hand, walked barefoot out of the study, walked through the living room and the hallway of the door, pushed the door open and looked out.

Viru stood in the doorway with a tired face, with a faint smell of tree sap on his body, a longbow on his back, and a man seemed to be following him.

In the moonlight, Signa couldn't see clearly, as if she was still holding a child in her arms.

Viru whispered to Signa, "What about Dark?" ”

Seeing the little girl standing barefoot in the doorway in her thin pajamas, Viru noticed that it was past midnight and he looked inside the room, and the living room was pitch black.

Just as Signa was about to speak, Surdak's voice came from behind her, "Viru, what's going on?" ”

Along with the sound of footsteps, Surdak hurriedly put on only a linen crewneck shirt, and wore a pair of boxer shorts underneath. The legs are covered with hideous burn scars, and although the scars have recovered, they still feel very scary to look at.

Viru's gaze fell on Surdak's double. On his legs, the chill in his eyes seemed to condense the air around him into ice.

Signa seemed to be in an ice cellar at this moment, and she suddenly shivered all over her body, and was picked up by Surdak with a large hand, blocking behind her.

The man standing behind Viru let out an 'oops' and fell on the wooden steps outside the small building, and the child he was holding in his arms also fell to the ground.

Viru came to his senses in an instant, and hurriedly withdrew the aura of a second-turn powerhouse emanating from his body, and Xigna suddenly felt that the coldness around her body instantly dissipated......

He stared at Surdak, his gaze paused on his face for three seconds, and then he took a half step to the left, and pointed to the unconscious child who had fallen on the wooden steps outside the house with a gloomy face, and said, "This child is having a high fever, and they are a little helpless, so I thought you could probably help, so I brought them here." ”

Surdak nodded, signaling that he understood.

He walked over to the child, and the man behind Viru scrambled to get up from the ground and take the child back into his arms.

It was only then that Surdak could see the man's face in the moonlight, a very distinctive face, with dark brown skin and wide cheekbones that constituted the most obvious features of the natives of the White Forest Plane, he was dressed in simple leather armor, barefoot, and holding an indigenous child in both hands.

The man Viru had brought back was actually a local native, and Surdak walked up to the child, regardless of how they knew him.

Stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, it was a little hot, his face was red, but his forehead was not sweating.

Surdak pulled the child's neckline open and put his hand on his chest, his heart beating rapidly and weakly, and even his breathing was light and a little wheezing.

Surdak asked the native to lay the child flat on the platform at the doorway, kneeling on one knee, his hands condensing into a ball of light, and the faint light continued to spread outward.

At this time, Selena came out of the house in a nightdress, and Surdak did not turn her head, so he commanded Selena:

"Go pour him a glass of water, he needs to drink some warm water. When you go back, give him more water to drink. ”

The last sentence he said was to the aborigine.

He didn't speak loudly, but in the quiet of the night, everyone could hear him.

After saying that, the light ball in his hand fell on the child, this is Surdak's holy light technique, using the divine breath to forcibly heal the other party's body.

The holy light gradually poured into the child's body, and the rapid gasping immediately became calm, and the strange sickly red tide on his face began to fade little by little, Surdak looked up and said to the native: "It may be a cold, I just gave his body a stronger vitality, whether he can slowly get better depends on whether he is strong enough." ”

Seeing that the child's condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, the aboriginal did not know that it was Surdak's credit, he threw a grateful look at Surdak, knelt in front of Surdak, put his forehead on Surdak's instep, and thanked Surdak.

Turning around and thanking Viru again, Viru held him up with one hand and said, "It's not me who saved the child, you don't have to thank me!" Now, you can go back with your kids. ”

The native stooped down to pick up the child on the ground, but then he stopped, turned and pulled out a magical silver-leaved grass from the wicker basket behind him, and respectfully placed it on the ground before picking up the child and turning away.

Silver Leaf Grass is a kind of primary magic herb, in today's period when magic herbs are scarce, a Silver Leaf Grass can sell at least two or three gold coins of high level, and there is still no price in the market, even if many people have gold coins in their hands and want to buy them at a high price, most of the time they can't buy them.

Surdak saved the child, and the aborigines actually took out a magic herb as a thank you, which surprised Surdak a little.

"Wait, this herb is a little valuable."

Surdak called out to the aboriginal from behind, picked up the magic herb from the ground, and walked to his side, seeing that the leather armor he was wearing was extremely ordinary, and his face was also carved with frost and wrinkles, and there was almost nothing of value on his body.

"My Holy Light Technique isn't worth such a magical herb......"

Surdak shoved the silver-leaved grass to the native, but the native, who refused to ask for anything, just said awkwardly, "This magic grass is for you, my lord." ”

"I know...... Well, in that case, you wait, you have to be paid for the equivalent service! ”

Surdak said to the Indigenous man.

As he spoke, he took out a wind wolf's head from his magic belt bag and said to the natives, "Give him to me......"

Taking the child from the aborigines, Surdak held the child in one hand and the wind and waves in the other, turned around and walked back to the small building, closed the door casually, and left both Viru and the aborigines outside.

Not long after, Surdak walked out of the small building with the child in his arms.

At this time, although the child was still asleep, his complexion was ruddy, and he no longer seemed to be sick.

Surdak handed the child to the aboriginal man and said, "Okay, if there is no problem, he will wake up tomorrow morning, and his illness will be well soon, don't worry......"

The aboriginal man held the child in his arms and bowed to Surdak again and again before walking quickly out of the barracks.

After curing the boy, Viru did not hurry to leave, but sat on the steps of the door of the small building and was silent.

Surdak also sat down beside Viru and said to Selena, "Go and see what's left in the kitchen, and get ready to send some over!" ”

Selena nodded and dragged Signa to the kitchen.

"The Jonbach you're looking for is really gone, look, he's left with such an ugly shell." Surdak ripped open two buttons on his shirt, revealing the burn scar on his chest, and said to Viru.

"I know! Jonbach wouldn't help a plane native like that, he's a proud nobleman to the core, and he's always believed that the Empire should be superior to others, and your style of doing things has changed to a completely different person. Viru stared at Surdak with an awe-inspiring expression.

"Are you deliberately the one who saved your life and gave you a new lease of life? Do you not only imitate his words and deeds, but also his code of conduct? Want to live like him and let his will continue? Is this the end of your life? ”

His cold eyes were full of anger.

Surdak leaned on the railing of the small building and said to Viru: "I didn't think about who I wanted to live by, maybe this kind of life is what I want now, I just take care of his family by the way, Viru, wake up, I am not the strong bach I used to be." ”

Viru closed his eyes and calmed himself down.

"Well, I shouldn't have talked about this terrible topic."

He looked at Surdak and took a deep breath to calm his mood before he said, "Let me tell you what happened today in the forest north of the town, the aboriginal who just left was met by me in the forest north outside the town, he is the original of the town and a medicine picker. ”

Viru then recounted how he had met the herb picker.

"After leaving the city, I went into the forest to look for clues, the forest north of the town is full of searchers who are searching for those bandits, the mayor of the town is in the forest with a group of men, but it looks like they are more like they are doing it in the forest, and some members of the search team are directly hiding in remote places to hunt small beasts in the forest, hiding in the tree hole to roast meat and eat." Viru said.

"It seems that their search group is two groups of people, only a group of people who have no right to say want to search for the bandit group, and they even think that the bandit group is hiding in the local indigenous tribe, and the bandit group can easily loot the adventure group by uniting the indigenous tribes, but the town chief doesn't listen to this at all, just drags the time, and intends to deal with this matter."

"As far as I know, it's very likely that this is the mayor's adventurous group of exiled criminals, united with the local indigenous tribes, and ransacked a group of slave traders with the support of the merchant group behind them." Surdak said.

Viru heard Surdak say that, and waved his hand, signaling that he was not right.

"In fact, the bandit group has no connection with the local indigenous tribe at all, when I was tracking the past, through the eagle eye's earth vision, I accidentally saw a bandit group at the foot of a mountain, they are indeed an adventure group composed of a group of wanted criminals, but they did not cooperate with the local indigenous tribe, they hid what they looted in a cave, when I found them, they seemed to be planning to bypass the northern wall of the pass, and leave the town of Dodan and enter the hinterland of the empire's occupied territory, Hide in another remote town. ”

Viru said.

"At that time, I also found the aboriginal who was collecting medicine, and he was hiding in a big tree, with vines wrapped around his body, watching over those people."

Surdak frowned and said, "If you want to make a detour and leave Dodan Town, they don't seem to be able to take those slaves with them. ”

Viru clenched his fists and snorted, "That's right, when I got there, the wanted criminals had already executed a group of slaves outside the cave. ”

"And I found out that a few of those people turned out to be wanted in Wilkes City." As he spoke, Viru pulled out a stack of parchment from his bosom, with some portraits and information on it.

He pulled out a few pieces of parchment from the stack of bounty warrants and showed them to Surdak.

"How do you have these things?" Surdak looked at Viru in amazement.

Viru said as a matter of course: "Of course, I received it from the Adventure Guild in Wilkes City, a veteran witcher like me, every time I go to a strange place, the first place to set foot must be the Adventurers' Guild, and the information on those prey is also to facilitate hunting, and the bounty for these wanted criminals is not bad...... So I solved them. ”

After saying that, he dragged out a large box from his magic waist bag, and the entire box was stained with slimy blood stains in the cracks, filled with a strong smell of blood.

"But the group that this group of exiled wanted criminals ransacked isn't a regular adventure party either, as you said...... It was a slave hunting group, and the aboriginal medicine collector wanted to rescue the natives who had become slaves, but he was only one person, and he originally wanted to secretly let some go at night, but he didn't expect to see those exiled wanted criminals executing the group of slaves before he could wait for night. Viru said.

Surdak continued: "So you just did him a favor and not only disposed of all the wanted criminals, but also released the living slaves? ”

Viru nodded in acknowledgement, and said, "I released the rescued slaves on the spot, and nailed all the members of that party to a tree, and found a few heads that could be sold for a price according to the portrait of the wanted warrant and brought them back......"
