"What Ember Crown, Abyss Lord, quasi-artifact, such a tall thing is too far away from me. ”

He stood up and wiped the white fat off the dwarf—the touch on the dwarf was like a large worm.

The kind of bad feel that can be described as "fat" and "soft" makes people not want to spend more time on it for a moment.

He drew his sword that pierced through the skull of the dwarf...... It's very easy, his strength is much greater than before, and he still needs to try how much, but it should be stable to beat someone to death with his bare hands.

As for the long sword, it was corroded to the point that it was obviously scrapped, and the body fluids of this dwarf demon were corrosive compared to strong acids.

He did all this on his own before he realized that there was silence around him, and he raised his head to meet everyone's wide-eyed eyes, which made him a little nervous.

Oh no, I'm not going to overdo it, am I?

Someone drew a cross on his forehead and whispered, "Lord, what do I see?"

"You read that right, it was little Leon who killed the demon. ”

At this time, Nelson, who had just run to the manor to call someone, hurried over on a Lusitanian war horse, and happened to bump into this scene, exclaiming: "Young Master Leon!"

"It was Young Master Leon who killed this demon!"

"He's our hero!"

Nelson's lips trembled, and it took him a moment to squeeze out a few words: "This is a miracle." ”

For most people, Leon just didn't appear in public during this time, and his suffering from the Black Death was still a secret, because the lord of the heir would inevitably cause people's hearts to fluctuate.

For the rest of the people, Leon's killing of a demon can only be said to be shocking, but for people like Nelson, who know the inside story, it is even more like a miracle!

Miraculously broke free from the Black Death, and then killed a brutal demon with his own hands, this kind of reborn change, who can say that this is not a miracle?

Ignoring the stench of corpses, people poured in.

"Well done Leon!"

"Your feats are enough for your lord to cut off your swallowtail and grant you the title of true knight. ”

"Leon, your courage and wisdom are amazing!"

"Leon, you have slain a real demon, this is a great feat that none of us have done, and your name will surely ring throughout Sicily, no, not only Sicily, but even those aristocratic maidens in Italy will go crazy to woo you, because you are a true warrior!"

Baron Tebelli came with a relieved face, and he smiled: "Okay, Leon must be tired now, so don't surround him." ”

He lined up and came to Leon.

He first said to the soldiers: "The souls of the dead in battle will return to heaven, and the bereavement will be paid to the relatives of the deceased on time, and the rest of the participants will be rewarded for each." ”

He patted Leon on the shoulder again and ordered the body of the deceased to be disposed of before returning to the manor with Leon.

As the two walked along the road, their intuition told Baron Leon that something was wrong, and when he wondered if he was acting too much to arouse suspicion, Baron Tatebelli said, "Good job." ”

He was somewhat relieved: "I didn't know that my young only son had grown up to this extent. ”

Li Ang didn't know how to respond for a while, so he simply said, "Thanks to God's blessing." ”

It would be good to attribute some inconvenient things to the Lord, maybe you can still make a "saint" yourself, the influence of the church is so terrifying, follow the principle of joining if you can't beat it, even if there is dirt and dirt in it, it can't change the fact that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

If you want to survive in this era, you must abide by the rules of this era.

"Perhaps. ”

Unexpectedly, Baron Tebeli was a little noncommittal to Leon's answer, and he said lightly: "If God really has grace, he will not let the plague run rampant in the world, Leon, you must firmly believe that you have defeated the plague with your own strength, and you have also defeated the demon with courage and wisdom!"

Leon's suspicions grew stronger, and Baron Tebeli had not seen the execution of witches like a religious nobleman.

But it is undeniable that Baron T'Bailey's words were very appetizing to Leon.

He believes that man will conquer the sky, and a gentleman will strive for self-improvement, rather than fighting the epidemic by praying to God and worshipping Buddha.

"Over the years I have neglected to care for you, and have focused too much on the territory, I have only asked you to practice martial arts, learn culture and etiquette, and hope that you will become a great knight, a future baron, but it is not until you are plagued by the plague that I realize how important you are to me. But a father is not born a father, so please be more considerate of him. ”

"You don't have to say that. Li Ang hurriedly shook his head, "I don't blame you. ”

Maybe Lyon has.

He silently added in his heart.

In his memory, the baron has rarely met Leon since he was a child, and even if he did, he was very serious and harsh, in short, Leon never experienced his father's warmth in this father, but more of an ardent expectation for his son Jackie Chan.

But I didn't expect to realize it first.

Li Ang laughed at himself in his heart, and also felt a little guilty.

He asked, "Father, when will the Black Death leave us?"

Baron Tebelli sneered, "I don't know, maybe it will be the day when God's wrath will be appeased." ”

"Can't we do something about ourselves except pray for God to calm his wrath. ”

As a modern person, of course, Leon understands the basic measures needed to deal with infectious diseases, but he "shouldn't" know!

In this supreme Middle Ages, if he dared to propose some modern medical methods to fight the epidemic, the outcome that awaited him would be either a trial by the Inquisition or a burn at the stake in the center of the town.

"Maybe there really ......"

Baron Tebelli pondered for a long time, seemed to hesitate, and walked out of town until he spoke, "Go to the Witch's Forest, my son." ”

"There's a reclusive lady there, her name is Angelina, tell us who you are, and she might be able to help us. ”

Witch Forest?

Leon's eyes widened.

Legend has it that there was an evil witch living in the great forest south of the Tbelley Territory, who used witchcraft to isolate the entire forest from the rest of the world, and any intruder would unknowingly walk out of it, and over time, people called the forest the Witch's Forest.

Isn't it a no-go zone?

Leon was surprised, "Are you talking about Lady Angelina, she's a witch?"

Having seen the magical power of witches, Leon no longer dismisses witches as nonsense.

Baron Tebelli shook his head, his expression hinting at warmth, and he smiled, "No, she's just an ordinary woman who has studied the dark arts, and she's very kind, I think at the very least, she should be kind enough to you." ”

Looking at his eyes, Leon seriously doubted that this witch had a relationship with him, could it be a mistress or something?

"Father, you and the witch?"

Leon didn't hide his doubts.

Baron Tebelli said: "Well, Leon, listen, I am not as Church-minded as everyone thinks, and the ancestors of our Tebelli family were not the Normans under the command of Roger the Conqueror, who followed General Belisarius to conquer North Africa and Italy, and was canonized by Emperor Justinian as the governor of the Sicilian Military Region. ”

"Sicily should have belonged to us, it was the Normans who stole this beautiful land from us. ”

"We used to believe in the Greek Orthodox Church (Roman Orthodox) instead of the barbaric Catholic Church (Roman Catholic), and the hunting of so-called 'witches' seemed to me so barbaric and brutal, but I couldn't stop it, it was so close to Rome that I couldn't take that risk. ”

"And now that I have become an unbeliever, and there is no point in asking the gods for protection when calamity comes, I prayed countless times during your illness, until yesterday, in my rage, I trampled the cross to pieces, and claimed that I had no more faith henceforth, and that it was then that Nelson had just told me that your illness had since receded. ”

Li Ang didn't know how to respond for a while, was it a coincidence?

His brain worked quickly, and he replied after a while: "Father, I have been unable to shake my faith for many years, and I am shocked by your words, and I will think about it seriously when I go back, but whether faith is meaningful or not, even if it is superficial in such an era, we still have to maintain our faith." ”

Baron Tebelli said guiltily, "Don't worry, I know more than you do, or I wouldn't have sacrificed that poor girl." ”

Leon wondered, "Sacrifice, you mean she's not a real witch, but she's summoned the demon." ”

Baron Tbelley shook his head: "What if it's a witch, if we don't treat her like this, she won't choose to take revenge on us in this way." ”

In that case, why do you do it?

As if seeing through Leon's doubts, Baron Tebelli smiled and said, "Don't think about it so much, these things have nothing to do with you." Let Nelson pack your bags for you, and you'll be on your way tomorrow morning. To tell you the truth, if it weren't for the fact that you killed a demon with your own hands today, accomplishing a feat that even a true knight could imagine, I would not have thought that my little Leon would have been able to take on the task. ”

"Father, aren't you going back to the manor?"

He rubbed his eyebrows and said with a little exhaustion: "No, this kind of thing happened, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in the territory." ”
