Chapter 104: The Task of the 'Eye'
Early the next morning, Charry appeared in the chamber of Duke Hans. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Lord Duke...... That's how it happened, I guess you've got the news too, I wonder what adults think about it?" asked Xia Rui.
"You only suspect that he has something to do with him, but it is absolutely impossible for the defenders to arrest him, it will take time to investigate, and I will not do anything until there is solid evidence. Besides, he is a member of the Dark Knights and the son of Captain Henry, so acting rashly is very involved, and it is easy to cause riots and panic in the city-state. This is absolutely not a no-go. ”
Xia Rui had expected Hans's answer, so he said: "Well, I respect your decision, but for the slave capture team, my guards are willing to serve you to get rid of these outlaws, and I guess your lord also hates these evil bandits under his rule." ”
Hans glanced at him and nodded, and said loudly: "These bandits are really bold, they dare to rob girls in front of everyone's eyes, and there is also a receptionist at the front desk of the Consulate Hall, if you don't crack down on their arrogance, the royal family will still think that I, Hans, am incompetent, and the consuls of other city-states will also see my jokes." ”
"That means the Lord allowed me to exterminate them?" asked Xia Rui.
"Marquis Xia Rui, you are too anxious," Hans suddenly smiled: "Exterminating the bandits is a matter for my city defenders, there is no need to bother the guards to go out, in short, I will give you a result as soon as possible." ”
......
When he came to the Ota Forge Shop, the first thing Xia Rui said when he saw Ota was, "You're right, Hans really shirked the blame, and it seems that we can only rely on ourselves." ”
"I have already sent a sergeant to investigate in disguise, regardless of whether the slave catcher team is Kerry's claw or not, since he dares to stretch it out, I will cut it off, if it is really arranged by him, as long as this claw is hurt, he will naturally jump out. Ota said expressionlessly.
"Well, then I'll go back and make arrangements, and be prepared. Notify you immediately of the news of the slave catching team. "Charry is gone.
At the same time, Kerry in the White Castle frowned and asked the black four opposite, "Where did those two people come from?
"Information from the medical center. One is named Sawyer and the other is named Lenny, both of whom are Lord Will's servants, and the news came back from the village of Siro that they had been whipped by Will and sent to the convict camp, but they were later missing. For some reason, he suddenly appeared in the city-state. The black four replied.
"Will's Yi Cong ......" Kerry pondered, and after a short time, he suddenly laughed, "It seems that Will can't help but make a move, it's really getting more and more interesting, I didn't expect this Sawyer to be a ruthless character, and he actually took his life to play a bitter trick, talent, inform the eyes, let her find a chance to test this Sawyer." It would be nice if I could take him in. ”
"Yes, I'll arrange it, there's one more thing young master, early this morning, Xia Rui appeared in the Consulate, it should have met with Lord Hans, but what he said is not clear. ”
Kerry nodded, "Inform the Iron Ducks to stay out of the limelight for the time being, keep an eye on them, and notify them as soon as there is any action." ”
"Yes. ”
Two days later. Sawyer finally woke up, but was limp in bed, unable to move. Lily, who had taken a few days off, finally stopped having 'nightmares' at night, and appeared in the manor accompanied by Ellie, and the two laughed and laughed like sisters.
A sergeant walked up to the two of them and reported something. Lili immediately said in surprise: "It's my father who is here." After saying that, he happily ran to the gate of the manor.
Lily's father was a burly man in his forties, but unfortunately he had a prosthetic leg on his left leg, and he walked a little stiffly, and he was talking to Lily with concern.
When she saw Ellie, her father immediately thanked her with gratitude on his face, and brought two hares to express his gratitude to Otta. It was because of the metal prosthetics made by Ota that he had the possibility to stand up again, and the two hares were brought by him from the city himself.
After thanking her, Elle invites her father to sit in the castle for a moment, but before he leaves, he tries to pick up Lily home, but Elle stops her.
Elle has been influenced by her father since she was a child, and she likes to dance with guns and sticks because she doesn't have many friends in Xiluo Village, and after coming to the city-state, in addition to helping Yuna make leather armor is to help cook, plus in order to prevent the infiltration of the Dark Knights, Elle has no chance to contact outsiders, and at this moment she finally has a sister who knows her in trouble, how can she be willing to let her leave?
When Ellie told the interesting stories of the mountains and wilderness in the village, and the danger of hunting orcs, Lili was naturally shocked and discolored, which greatly satisfied Ellie's vanity. And when Lily talked about the anecdotes in the city-state, it also made Ellie laugh and become curious, after passing through the slave arresting team, the two were almost married as sisters in a few days, and Ellie was naturally reluctant to let Lily leave.
Lily's father reluctantly agreed, and then said:
"In that case, let Lily stay for a few more days, I can also go out of the city to hunt and grab some game to come back to subsidize the family, since Lily's mother died, Lily has been in charge of her livelihood all these years, and it is time for me to contribute." ”
Lily's father left and went to visit Sawyer at Lily's suggestion, although Ellie didn't have a good impression of Sawyer and Lenny, but thought that the two dared to help on the day of the incident, and Sawyer almost died because of it, so she nodded and agreed.
Although Sawyer was sober but very weak, Lili only thanked him in person and cared for a few words, and when she saw that he was listless and her voice was weak, she took her leave and left.
There was a clanging sound from the blacksmith shop in the manor, Taylor, Fat Dun and others were busy, and now the daily task was very heavy, but their forging level was also improving rapidly, Taylor deserved to be the best foundation among them, he could already refine thirteen pieces of iron ore every day, and became the senior brother among them. And Fat Dun just refines ten pieces a day, and although he muttered that he was not very satisfied, he was so happy that he couldn't see any disappointment on his face.
And early this morning, the two of them have been passed on to the forging steps and breathing methods, Ota first let them memorize the mantra, and the footwork was also demonstrated, and then left after explaining the key points in detail, let them familiarize themselves with the forging, and after a few days, take time to teach them well.
After seeing her father off, Lily, who was walking around the manor, asked, "What is this jingling sound?"
"It's the blacksmiths who are forging," Elle said casually.
"Then let's go over and have a look, and I'm curious to think that these cold, hard lumps of iron, in your brother's hands, can be transformed into magical metal prosthetic limbs, which can help people like my father get back on their feet and regain their self-confidence. Lily said with a look of adoration.
Ellie pursed her lips, "What's so nice about that, besides, there are only a few of his apprentice assistants here, and the real forging and shaping is done in his forging shop." ”
Lily nodded nonchalantly, but despite her repeated requests, Ellie agreed to her request.
When the two of them appeared in the shop, Lili's appearance made these apprentices suddenly shocked, and the forging hammer in their hands all stopped and looked at her stupidly.
They all knew Elle's identity, so they didn't dare to think about it in the slightest. But Lili's dress was no different from that of a commoner's daughter, her face was fresh and refined, her smile was gentle and she did not have the cold arrogance of a noble lady, and her voice greeted them gently.
This made Lily very satisfied.
Among these people, only Taylor was a little shy after greeting her, and then stood silently on the side, neither forging nor speaking, just hiding behind people and peeking at him, Lily's face was still slightly red when he occasionally asked him something, all of this was naturally seen by Lili.
......
Two days later, in the morning, just as everyone was sitting in front of the meal to eat, a sergeant came in and said something in Xia Rui's ear, and Xia Rui nodded and ordered, "Bring people in." ”
When the sergeant left, Xia Rui looked at Lili, his face was heavy, everyone stopped eating and looked at him, there was a bad premonition, and the atmosphere was very solemn for a while.
"What's the matter, Uncle Charry, are you ......" Lily looked at Charrie with some trepidation.
"There is very unfortunate news for you, I hope you will be strong, your father he ...... He's dead. ”
"What? No way, absolutely no way, he came to see me two days ago......" Lily's face turned pale, her body shook a little, and then she suddenly fainted.
Ai Li hurriedly supported her, "Sister Lili, Sister Lili." Avril, Yuna and the others also hurriedly helped her to Ellie's room.
When Lily woke up again, there were several people standing in the room, one of them was a man dressed as a sergeant, with blood stains on his body and cracked leather armor, it was his father's friend Kuntai, whom he had seen several times before, so he quickly sat up and asked:
"Uncle Kuntai, my father, he... What the hell is going on?"
With a sad look on his face, Quintai said, "Two nights ago, we found the footprints of a wild boar in the woods, so we set a trap in the snow......
It turned out that Lily's father and the man named Quintiles teamed up to hunt wild boars, and after setting a trap, they hid it, and when they went to see it the next day, they found that the wild boar had died and fell in the pit. Since Lily's father was not comfortable wearing a metal prosthesis, Quintiles took the initiative to go down to the pit to salvage the wild boar, but just as he put on the rope, he heard the roar of a wild beast from above, and Lili's father's screams for help.
He tried to climb up with the rope that was supposed to be tied around Lily's father's waist around the tree, but when he pulled it, he found that it was bloody and stained with minced flesh. Then he saw three leopards appear at the edge of the pit, but they only looked down for a moment and then left, and he could not come up from the pit, but fortunately another group of hunters passed by and rescued him, otherwise he would have frozen to death below.
After saying that, he comforted Lily with a few words, put aside the metal prosthesis on his left leg and left, and Lily fainted again, which made people feel sad.
Ota walked out of Ellie's room with the bloodstained prosthetic, and felt uncomfortable, this Sister Li's experience was really miserable, a few days ago she was almost taken away and sold as a slave girl, her father was finally able to stand up again and wanted to fight some beasts to subsidize the family, but he was miserable, which is really embarrassing.
