Outside the back door of the town, the rest of the people understood that the end was coming, and they no longer ran away, but chose to die a dignified and calm death.

However, after waiting for a long time, the end they expected did not come, and not only that, but the sky over the town actually returned to normal.

They came back from their prayers, but they didn't understand what was happening, and they all looked at each other.

"Eh, what's wrong with this guy?"

In the midst of the crowd, an old man asked, looking at the poor Emir lying on the ground.

"I don't know, maybe when I fled just now, my relatives were lost." A middle-aged man with his hands in his sleeves put on a look of seeing through the truth.

"It doesn't seem to be," said another middle-aged man, "when I was building the city wall before, I saw this young man, who seemed to be called Emir, didn't he say it at that time?" He was a forger who had to craft weapons for the Knights. ”

"So what," the man was unhappy with his speculation being denied, "the forge also has relatives, and it is possible that he will be lost." ”

At this time, the emir finally stopped his tears, and he suddenly sat up from the ground.

"No, he's not lost......"

When the emir said this, he was still in a trance, and everyone around him thought that he was not in his right mind, and the eyes that looked at him were full of sympathy.

“…… He died, to save me. The emir muttered softly, his gaze looking into the town.

The people around him followed his gaze and found that there was nothing but the scattered houses.

No one knew what he was looking at, perhaps the soul of his dead loved one, floating towards the sky.

Just now, Emir released all the emotions he had suppressed in the past few days, and he finally recognized the fact that Sain was dead.

He had always been a man of reason, and the danger of the Dark Knight had not been ruled out at the moment, and he could not just fall.

So he told the people to stay here, not to go back to the town, and then he began to think about the next steps.

He made his way to the back door of the town, only to find Lilith lying on the ground, and Lydia crouching next to her to help stop the bleeding.

He finally remembered that Lilith had blocked Pedro's attack for him, and he had thought Margaret would be able to help heal him.

As soon as he thought of this, he knew that Margaret was unlucky this time, so he quickly released her from the ring.

Margaret was lying motionless on the ground, her eyes closed, and her trembling eyelashes showed that she was not dead, but she must be suffering unimaginably in pain.

Emir couldn't help her, and there was no one here to help.

For the first time, Emir felt so desperate with Lilith whose body was pierced, Margaret whose magic exceeded the load of her body, and not to mention the Dark Knight who didn't know if she would chase after her.

Lydia had been trying to stop Lilith's bleeding, but the wound was too big to be held down with a strip of cloth or crumpled up and filled.

However, in this moment of desperation, a tall figure appeared behind the two of them, for it was daytime, and the emir saw the shadow of the man in the sun.

He was startled, thinking that Pedro was catching up, and quickly turned around and assumed a vigilant posture, although he knew that he couldn't fight, but it was better than sitting still.

However, when he saw the true face of the person in front of him, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it turned out to be the knight in white armor he had met before.

"You are ......," the emir was surprised.

"Well, we've met before."

"That's great...... You're a knight, so you're supposed to help the town, right? The emir said tentatively, because he was not sure if the other party would interfere in the affairs here, and the strength of the dark knight was so strong, if this knight died here, he would be to blame.

"Hehe," the White Knight chuckled, "of course, you should want me to deal with that Dark Knight, then rest assured, I've already chased him away." ”

“…… What? The emir suspected that he had misheard, "What did you drive away?" ”

That's the dark knight of the demon race, second only to the demon king in strength, how can he be driven away by a human? To put it mildly, it is as light as driving away a beast with a torch.

"Well, I saw your companion even though I pushed that guy back, I'm really sorry, although I will heal the magic, but he ...... The body is cold. ”

The White Knight didn't care about Emile's surprise, but apologized for not being able to save Thane.

"In addition, there is a knight who is also ......"

Hearing this, Emir could understand that the sky over the town just now was almost like the end of the world was coming, but it didn't take long for it to return to normal, and immediately after, the white knight appeared.

To say that this is just a coincidence, even the emir does not believe it.

"It's okay, anyway, thank you so much for saving us." When the emir understood this, he expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart.

However, he soon had an important thing in mind.

"Uh, that, you just said you can heal magic, can you please help......"

The Emir scratched his head and said, but before he could finish speaking, the white knight noticed Lilith and Margaret.

Because Lilith's injuries were more serious, the knight hurriedly ran over and crouched beside her to check on her injuries, and Lydia immediately stepped aside.

The white knight fell to his knees on one knee and then took off his gloves, revealing his white, delicate hands, which clearly belonged to a woman, and the ensuing scene stunned both Emile and Lydia.

I saw the white knight pull out his saber, and then slashed the blade with his index finger, and a drop of red blood immediately flowed out.

She quickly dripped blood onto Lilith's wound, and then the round wound, which was large enough to fit a fist, was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This healing speed was not in the slightest under Margaret's healing magic, and Emir couldn't help but wonder, is this also magic?

From just now, he had a question, why did the white knight in front of him use magic, according to Margaret before, the knights and magicians of the Elnos Empire were opposing each other and belonged to mortal enemies, how could there be knights who mastered magic? And she doesn't need a magic circle to use magic.

However, although there are big doubts, it is still important to do the right thing at this time.

Seeing that Lilith's wound had healed, the white knight ran over to observe Margaret's injury again, and found that there were no external injuries.

Of course, this is not difficult for her, because she can use magic, she also has magical sense, and she can understand the situation with a little probing.

"She must have been attacked by magic." The white knight's tone was solemn.

"Well," Lydia nodded and said, "Please, you must save her, let me do whatever I want afterwards." ”

Lydia is now alone, her grandfather died for the sake of righteousness, her brother was killed by the Dark Knight to save her, and if anyone else is still connected to her, it is undoubtedly Margaret and Emile.

"I can save her life, but I'm afraid I can't say for sure if I'll wake up."

“…… Is it? Then let's save our lives first, and we'll figure out what to do next. Lydia thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm."

The white knight nodded, and stretched out her finger again, strangely enough, the wound she had just cut was actually healed, so she repeated the same trick and cut her finger again, dripping blood into Margaret's mouth.

The blood seemed to be a real panacea, and not long after Margaret swallowed it, her frowning brow relaxed, and her eyelashes stopped trembling, and she lay there as if she were sleeping.

"Okay, don't worry, none of them will be in danger of their lives."

"Thank you so much, I ...... I really don't know how to repay you. ”

Emir thanked him at a loss, indeed, he did not know anything that could give back to the zealous knight.

And Lydia, in order to express her gratitude, gave her a grand knightly salute directly.

"It's okay, as a knight, this is what I'm supposed to do." The white knight said politely.

Now that Lilith was out of danger and Margaret was sleeping peacefully, they had this powerful knight and the Emir no longer had to worry about it, and he was relieved at last, but he was also unusually tired.

Maybe it was because his nerves had been tense before, and he had no time to rest, so at this time, all the tiredness came like a tide.

Emir could no longer hold it up, and his legs went limp, and he collapsed, but Lydia rushed to help him with a brisk step.

……

When the emir woke up again, he didn't know how much time had passed.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was an unfamiliar ceiling, with ornate patterns that looked like some nobleman's room.

He subconsciously thought that he had been sent to Lydia's house, and after lying on the soft and warm bed for a while, he finally decided to get up.

After a long sleep, the fatigue on his body was swept away, and his spirit became very good, but he felt empty in his heart.

Of course he knew why, but what was the use of thinking so much? Now, there is no going back.

Next, desperate to see what was going on outside, he planned to put on his clothes neatly stacked on the chairs beside the bed.

He realized that something was wrong and quickly looked at his body, only to find that he was wearing only a pair of shorts.

"Ah, this."

Emil couldn't help but have a hot cheek, and he knew that someone must have helped him undress while he was unconscious, and that Lydia was the only one who could do it.

It's too shameful to let such a beautiful girl help take off her clothes or something, he couldn't help but think about it.

However, he quickly picked himself up, and Sain had just died, so he was in no mood to think about such inconsequential matters.

So, he put on his clothes and walked out of the room.

Outside, there is a wide, long corridor with a red carpet on the floor, and the walls are covered with all kinds of ornate patterns, and on the other side of the corridor is a row of pure white windows that let in the dazzling sunlight.

Emile pushed open the window and looked out, and saw that it was the second floor, and a large flock of white doves resting outside the window, startled by the sound of the window opening, flew into the air.

He looked in the direction in which the white dove had flown out, and saw that it was very close to the city walls, and that he could clearly see the town gate and the half-built walls around it.

Obviously, this is not Lydia's home, but the estate of another nobleman.

Emile was wondering why he had been brought here, when he suddenly heard footsteps in the hallway.

He turned his head to see a maid pushing a dining cart towards him.

"Ah, Lord Castle, you're awake." When the maid saw him, she said loudly, and seemed excited.

Emile subconsciously thought it was Margaret, but when he saw the young girl's appearance clearly, he realized that it was not.

The other party looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, about the same age as him, but he looked quite mature, with a good figure and a pretty appearance.

However, there is a question, what did this maid call him, Lord Castle?

"Uh, are you calling me?" Emir asked, pointing to himself.

"Hehe, of course, Lord Castle, since you're awake, let's start eating." The maid said excitedly as she showed off the food on the dining car.

I saw that there were four dishes and one soup on it, including two green vegetables, two meats, and a bowl of clear soup, because it was morning, and the main food was a bowl of white porridge.

"This ......"

"Oh, that's right," the maid explained when she saw that he was confused, "if we had known you were awake, we would have arranged for you to dine in the dining room, but now ......"

As the maid was talking, she suddenly understood her problem, since the emir had woken up, she should take him to the dining room next, this is the duty of a maid.

"Ah, I'm very sorry, I've only been a maid here for a few days, so I didn't think about some things, please don't be surprised." The maid suddenly became very flustered.

"It's all right," said Emir, waving his hand, "but do you know where Lydia is?" ”

"Lydia? Oh, it's the acting lord from before, she ......" the maid hesitated, but decided to speak, "She left only a letter, and then left with the other girl. ”

"What?" The emir was incredulous.

He knew who the maid was talking about, but at such times, the town could not be left without a steward, and according to the white knight, Margaret could not wake up for a while, so why should he take her away?

"Then what should I do if there is no city lord in Heitan Town?" The emir blurted out without even thinking about it.

Sure enough, these words directly stunned the maid.

"Well, excuse me, you...... Isn't it the lord of the city now? ”

"Me?"

Only then did the emir react, just now the maid just called him the city lord, but what the hell is going on?

"I'm sorry, I don't know the situation very well, can you explain it to me?" The emir spoke directly to the doubts in his heart.

However, the maid was visibly embarrassed, as she had only been a refugee and had only come here to work as a servant three days earlier.

At that time, when the nobles left, they told the people that they would be allowed to become servants of the nobles when the time came if they wished to follow.

The people have left their homeland for survival, and they have long been unsure of what to do next, and now that they have the promise of the nobles, they think that they are desperate anyway, and it is better to follow the nobles.

Therefore, most of the people followed the nobles to the nearby larger town, and the remaining less than a hundred people thought that they would not be treated well there, and that they might be called as slaves.

In that case, it is better to die, after all, they are also from a good family, and they can't bear the hardships of being slaves at all.

The maid's parents thought the same thing, so they stayed and waited for the end to come, but they didn't expect that in the end they still picked up a life.

At this time, the town of Blackpool had become empty, daily production could not continue, and the economy had come to a standstill, so in order to make a living, the maid's parents sent her to the lord's mansion.

That's right, this was originally Chrysti's domain, and now that she had died on the battlefield, the mansion rightfully belonged to the new lord of the city, the emir.

"By the way, what's your name?" Seeing her confused look, the emir changed the subject.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Rena, and I'm the only maid in this mansion at the moment, so please advise me in the future, Lord Castle." The maid said, smiling professionally, and then lifted the corner of her skirt and bowed.

Because her family is in business, she is also learning how to receive guests at the suggestion of her parents, and helping the family by the way, it is better to say that she can be recruited this time thanks to her previous work experience.

The emir nodded and continued.

"So, Rena, you said Lydia left a letter, didn't you? Can you show me that? ”

"Well, of course," Rena agreed, but seeing that he was still a little restrained, she said, "Lord City, you seem to be a little uncomfortable, although I don't know what kind of life you lived before, but now that you are the city lord, you should act like the city lord, just give orders directly to us servants, and you don't need to ask for our permission." ”

“…… Oh, well," the emir scratched his head embarrassedly, "then show me the letter." ”

However, Rena shook her head and said.

"This letter is now in the hands of the knight in white armor, and I have no right to bring it to you, but since you are awake, come with me to the dining room, and I will invite the knight."

For such an offer, the emir refused, it was not that he was not uncomfortable with the status of the city lord, he just felt that those so-called etiquette were too troublesome.

So, he took the white porridge from the dining car and drank it in one gulp, and then told Rena to keep the rest of the dishes and eat them again at noon.

“…… Belch. ”

This move directly stunned Rena, and she couldn't help but wonder what kind of person this new city lord was, why he didn't have a noble shelf at all.

"Where's the knight? I'll go find her myself. Emir said lightly.
