Chapter 27: Bad News

After the four of them left, Albert went to the python's corpse and retrieved the lost wooden bow. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, to Albert's surprise and surprise, the seemingly fragile and dilapidated wooden bow was intact. He was always carrying a wooden bow when he was entwined by a wind anaconda, and at that time his bones were broken a dozen times, but the wooden bow was not broken or cracked at all, which is incredible. Could it be that the wooden bow was the weapon left by the dragons when he was abandoned? Albert's eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at the wooden bow, as if he did not rule out this possibility.

But whether it was a dragon or someone else, Albert couldn't figure out why he left behind a wooden bow that was nothing but hard.

Could it be that this is an artifact that needs to be enlightened?" Albert thought to himself, even though this was just a guess, but it still made him ecstatic, and swept away the gloom in his heart.

However, Albert used all the means he could think of to try to unlock the hidden properties that the wooden bow might have. He used fire, blood, infusion, and even impact, but all of them failed.

In the end, Albert can only face the reality, and reluctantly admits that there is nothing special about the wooden bow except for its hardness.

Night falls.

When the village fell silent, a few uninvited guests broke into Edith's house.

"Who are you?" Fang Wen picked up the long sword in the corner, protecting Sophie and Edith behind her.

"He's a farmer. Edith told Fangwen. "Mr. Farmer, what is the matter with you here?" the little girl mustered up the courage to stand up, this was her home, and she should protect Fang Wen, not the other way around.

"Hide behind me. Fang Wen dragged the little girl back. "Listen to me. ā€

"I'm here to get back what belongs to me. The farmer looked around. "What about the gold you got from the robbers' cottage?" he looked at Fang Wen.

"That's not yours. Fang Wen said indifferently.

"But now it's mine. The farmer shrugged. "Everything in the village is mine. He smiled sinisterly. "Give me the gold, unless you want to die here. ā€

"Give it to them. Sophie tugged at the corner of Fangwen's clothes, although she was a little unwilling, gold is not as precious as life.

Fang Wen looked back, looked at Sophie, who was pale and trembling a little, and then looked at Edith's grandchild. "In the closet in the back room. She told the farmer.

"Clever chick. The fat on the farmer's face trembled with a smile. "And you. Licked his chapped lips. "You're mine, too. He looked at Sister Fangwen.

"You're dreaming. Fang Wen said word by word.

"You can't take Fang Wen and Sophie. The little girl stood up again. "They were Albert's friends. ā€

"Oh, that's right, Albert's friend, that obnoxious magician. The farmer nodded, squinting. "But that nasty won't be coming back. ā€

"You lie, Albert will come back. Edith said angrily, holding back the tears rolling in her eyes. Recently, the villagers have been talking about Albert, saying that Albert is dead, but Edith firmly believes that Albert will not leave her, and he has said that he will take care of her and protect her.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

Guided by the map, Albert, who had been lost for a whole week, finally saw the shadow of the village.

Albert had a smile on his face, eager to meet Edith. In his hand, he held a gift carefully prepared for Edith.

It was a small, cute, docile one-star monster - Bubble Mouse, a little guy who could make big blisters and put himself in them, and it took Albert a lot of time to capture the little guy.

At the entrance of the village, Albert looked at the pasture outside the village, but he could not find Edith, which made him a little strange.

Although Edith has quit her job on the ranch, the little girl spends her days on the ranch playing with her sheep friends, and only comes home when it is time to eat.

Could little Edith be sick?, Albert thought, and his pace quickened.

Albert returned home and looked at the locked door, a little surprised. He knocked on the door, and the crying voice of a little girl was heard in the room.

"You scoundrels, I don't have anything of value in my house anymore!"

"It's me, Edith, I'm Albert. Albert frowned, Edith's words made him feel a little uneasy, had there been other robbers in his absence?

There was a rush of footsteps in the room.

"Squeak. The moment the wooden door opened, the tearful girl threw herself into Albert's arms.

"Albert, you're finally back, I thought you didn't want me anymore. Edith sobbed, tears slicing Albert's heart like a knife.

"Don't worry, I'll never leave you. Albert picked up Edith, who was stained with tears, and wiped the girl's tears of grievance. "Tell me, what's going on?" he asked her.

"Three days ago, the farmer broke into the house and took Fang Wen and Sophie, and their grandmother was also injured by them. Edith wept silently, tears like a flood bursting its banks.

"What?" exclaimed Albert, and rushed into the back room.

At this moment, Edith's grandmother was lying on a wooden bed, her face pale and angry, her face blue and purple, and her head wrapped in a thick bandage.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, I'm late. Albert's nose was sour, and his heart was full of self-reproach.

If you don't get lost, it wouldn't happen.

"Good boy, it's not your fault. Grandmother Edith smiled reassuringly.

"Madam, rest assured, everything will be fine, and I will take you to the town for treatment now. Albert said urgently.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. Edith's grandmother shook her head. "I'm just a little tired. She said calmly, raising her hand and groping Albert's face.

"I'm here. Albert crouched down on the edge of the bed and took Edith's grandmother's hand. "Madam, you don't need to worry about money, I have money now, and I can definitely cure you. He said firmly.

"Listen to Albert, grandmother, haven't you always told me that?" said little Edith, wiping away tears from her sleeve and trying to be as calm as she could. She didn't want her grandmother to hear her crying, and she didn't want her to worry about her. "Please, grandmother. As she spoke, Edith went to the other side of the bed and took her grandmother's other hand.

"Children, I've lived here since I was born and never left. Grandmother Edith stubbornly said, "I love everything here, let me stay." ā€

Edith shook her head again and again, unable to suppress the emotions in her heart any longer, and tears rained down.

"Grandmother, you won't have ......"

"Listen to me, kids. Grandmother Edith interrupted Edith, her words a little agitated. She sat up with difficulty, leaning against the head of the bed, one hand touching Edith's head, the other holding Albert's hand tightly. "Little Albert, grant me a selfish request to take care of Edith and not let her suffer any more. She paused and smiled, "Child, if I die, don't be sad, let alone avenge me." ā€

"Don't worry, ma'am, I'll take good care of Edith. Albert nodded heavily.

"Thank you, kid. Grandmother Edith smiled serenely, her hands down, her cloudy eyes closed forever.

"Grandmother!" Edith cried out hoarsely as she pounced on her grandmother. Although Edith was only five years old, she already understood the meaning of death. Grandmother will not wake up again, like her biological parents, leaving her forever.

Albert didn't bother Edith, sighed, and quietly exited the room.

Night falls.

Albert climbed a two-story wooden building.

He entered the house through the window, searching for the farmer.

Moments later, at the entrance to the basement, Albert saw the farmer directing his servants to take stock of the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

"What are you doing here, farmer, are you worried that your gold coins will rust?" Albert came to the basement door, cold words echoing through the basement.

"Ai... Albert, you're still alive!" the farmer looked back, exclaimed, and sat down on the ground, including his servants.

"Of course, do you want me dead?" said Albert, jokingly, as he slowly descended the steps.

"Hehe, how could it be. The farmer swallowed.

"How could it not? You damn brute. Albert came to the farmer and picked him up.

"Let go of me, Albert, what's wrong with you? The farmer struggled, but could not get rid of his iron pincers.

"You damn fat pig, what has happened all this time?" Albert's words contained no emotion, which was terrifying. "Why did someone hurt my family?" said Mourel, who was so angry for the first time since his death.

"I... I do not know. The farmer was still quibbling and shaking his head.

"Damn, you dare to lie. Albert gritted his teeth and raised his hand to slap the farmer to the ground.

"I really don't know what you're talking about. The farmer spat out three broken teeth and cried. "Albert, stop fighting. He trembled with fear.

"Hehe, your mouth is quite hard. Albert smiled angrily and nodded repeatedly. "Answer me, where is Fang Wen. As the words fell, he drew the long sword behind his back, and a fierce color flashed in his eyes.

"What are you going to do? I'm a legal citizen of Auston, you can't kill me. The farmer fell back and shouted.

"Don't worry, damn fat pig, I didn't say I was going to kill you. Albert said calmly.

A sword light slashed, and the farmer's left arm was cut off.

"Ahh

The farmer let out a pig-killing wail, covered the broken spot, and fell to the ground.

Albert ignored the farmer and said nothing, the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He swung his sword again and cut off the farmer's right arm.

"Stop!" I say!" the farmer who had lost his arms screamed, ignoring the pain.

"You bastard, I don't want to listen to nonsense!" As he spoke, the sword light slashed, and the farmer's legs were broken.

"Dungeon!" the farmer's wail echoed through the basement.
