Outside the castle it was already dark, and only the lamps illuminated the hall, shining on the red curtains and the red carpet, and in the hall there were two main seats, and the lord and the lord's wife of the castle sat on them, and in addition to the busy servants, as if a great banquet had been held, and the guests had dispersed, and the master was supervising the cleaning of the hall after the dinner.

"I'm really afraid that those guys will stain our castle, and it's better to have fewer banquets like this, adults. ”

"Madame does not know, the more people there are, the more we prove our strength, thinking that in the past we could only be subservient to the church, and now, no matter who we are, they must fear us. Isn't that a good thing? ”

"Speaking of the church, my lord, Cass has been gone for more than a month and has not returned, which is not a good sign. The lord's wife handed the glass to the maid and took it.

"Cass is one of my strongest warriors, and besides, he has not only the Bloodthirsty, but also the Dark Edge I have given him, so he can't go wrong. ”

"There are such and such monsters in this world, even the strongest warriors may not be able to cope with them. ”

"Indeed," the lord pushed away the servant who had washed his hands and grabbed the lady's hand, "for example, the owner of these beautiful hands has made the bloody baron powerless. The lord leaned into Madame's ear and whispered, "My beautiful lady vampire. ”

The lord's wife hurriedly pushed the lord away, "My lord, how can you talk about this here, am I also a monster in your eyes?"

The lord drew the sword at his waist, "Madam, don't panic, no one will know. What's so bad about being a monster? What's so good about being a human being? I want to be a monster too. ！”

Suddenly, an inexplicable wind extinguished all the candles, followed by the sound of sword blades whistling, and the tables and chairs in the castle became as bright red as the curtains, and the castle fell silent for a moment.

In the darkness, a beautiful voice said faintly, "What if the dark edge that is cherished by the adults is lost with Cass, I feel sorry for the adults." ”

"Sword with warrior, ma'am, how can my heart ache. And I have heard that a legendary blacksmith has come to Balotto from the north, and what weapon will be better forged than him?"

"I'll tell Margaret to pay attention," rolled her eyes glowing red in the darkness, "Your clothes are dirty, my lord." ”

The weather was just like the mood of this Fenitz group, the clouds were thick, and Feniz was rarely speechless, with a gloomy face, looking at the Whig town in the distance. At the same time, it was extremely hot today, and my breathing became uncomfortable, which made people feel irritable.

Joan didn't like to be near the fire, not because it was stuffy, but because she didn't like the feeling of the light on her body, so bright that there was nowhere to hide. She leaned against a tree farther away, gently wiping her silver sword, and at her feet was Fenniz's scythe, the weapon she was going to wipe next, and she told herself that it wasn't for any special emotion to maintain the weapon for the oily guy, "I'm just for my own use, and besides, he's the only one among us who doesn't know how to take care of weapons, he must have been a robber before, and a lame robber." ”

She looked at the robber in her own eyes, and did not complain about the heat, nor did she tell vulgar jokes, perhaps it was the terrible monster and what happened to Hanwick and Jill that made his heartless body grow hearts and lungs. It wasn't until Carol, the woman in red, sat down next to Fenitz that the temporarily muted machine, which was supposed to be babbling and talking, suddenly gained momentum, and the sultry night began to be noisy, and Joan kicked the sickle and immediately turned her eyes to Soltan, who was reciting the holy scriptures, and Sarria who was lying on the ground correcting his pronunciation, she was in much better shape, and one of Joan's hanging hearts finally relaxed, and Sarya woke up when the night came, and because of the great fright, she woke up yelling and screaming for a while, and finally settled down, and it was inconvenient for everyone to ask her what she had endured, and Soltan was like a legendary knight who had been busy for her during this timeEven the medicine for the wound on her face was collected by him and applied to the wound, and he kept talking to Saria until she finally smiled, "Although Soltan has a not-so-bright head, he has a sincere heart. ”

Kate, the Owl Hunter, seemed to hate the light even more, and she was sitting cross-legged behind Joan leaning against the shadow of the tree, and before the knives were far away, Joan also sat down, looked across the tree from Kate, and said, "We are very grateful that you can help us, and I know that you have always been alone, and the decision to go on the road together is not easy." Of course, the prescription for the wound on Saria's face is also thanks to you. ”

"You helped me, and I helped you, nothing to thank. ”

Joan knew that Kate was pretending to be a gesture, and from the fact that she rescued Jill and helped save Saliya, she could know that she was not like the rumored Owl Hunter who only had goals and unscrupulous means in her heart, and had no good intentions, but she was used to being alone, and she knew that it was meaningless to have any bonds with others that might fall in the next moment, and that Joan thought so too, but Joan felt more and more that their group of people was destined to be destined, there were too few good people, and only by holding together could they survive.

"What's your next plan? I don't have any other ideas, we won't grab stones with you, it's just that the road ahead is full of dangers, and no one can handle it alone. ”

"I understand what you're trying to say. She took off her feather cloak and prepared a place for herself to rest, turning her back to Joan's head, her eyes under her hat staring at Joan, "It's just that many of your team probably don't even have the ability to protect themselves." ”

Joan couldn't argue because she knew Kate was to the point.

"A liar who is full of lies but is not skilled in martial arts, a knight who is simple-minded and lives in the last era, a noblewoman who knows a little about medicine and is full of kindness, and a woman who sells her hue for a living. As for you," Kate paused, "barely passing." It's better not to get involved. ”

Joan didn't expect that Kate's words under the cold voice were so "precise" that they were a little harsh, Joan was not angry, and what Kate said was also the truth.

"In the end, you still have to go by yourself, although we people are going to die in your eyes, but you also have to understand that you can't save Jill alone, and we can't count on that ironclad knight, we will find a way. We'll go to Carol's village tomorrow and get supplies before we make plans. ”

Kate stopped talking, which may have been a way for her to express her disapproval.
