09 Take a break for a moment

"Lord of the Castle, our scouts on the outskirts have spotted Lord Gertholu Karn and a slave heading here."

"What! Hurry up and prepare your horse to meet you. ”

A large cavalry force then braved the wind and snow to meet Karn and the two, who embraced each other happily when he saw them.

"You're still so enthusiastic!" Karn stepped forward and warmly embraced the comer.

"Do you only take one slave with you?" The castle lord asked, looking at Anka.

Ankka's brow furrowed at the sound of this, and Karn quickly stepped forward to clear the way.

"No, no, no, this is my new friend, now please prepare some food and a place to live!"

"Of course, what about your soldiers? And the walking dead nearby, do you know what the situation is? ”

"I'll tell you about these things in detail later, so let's hurry up and prepare food and lodging for us! I've been walking for so long and I'm a little hungry. ”

Karn and Ankka were then surrounded by heavily armored soldiers into the fortress, and Ankka was placed in a well-furnished and warm room.

Ankka felt the soft bed and lay down slowly, enjoying the comfort she had never felt before.

"Hey, is that how the sword works? And what I possess now is the emperor's sword, can't you cherish it? There was a voice from the magic sword that Kajudil was dissatisfied with Ankor's rough use just now.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that much!" Ankka replied with a smile.

Then Ankka raised the magic sword, the magic sword flashed in the light of the candle flame, and the sharp magic sword was not damaged by the rough use just now, which couldn't help but make Ankka sigh at the skill of the craftsman.

In the reception room, Karn changed into an even more ornate blue robe with the help of the maid, and sat down at the long table to communicate with the castle master.

"That's right, I met Anka and a large number of walking corpses controlled by brain-eating insects when I went to the fortress of Ice Fang Peak, and after that, I met the assassins of Santa Seca, I speculated that all this must be a conspiracy of Santa Seca, and I decided to return to the royal city as soon as possible to tell my father."

Karn confided in him that he was his young friend.

He used to be high-spirited and thought he was invincible.,As a result, in a short period of time, several more powerful monsters or people directly caused a more serious sense of frustration.,Fortunately, his ability to resist pressure can still be without giving up on himself directly.。

The frustration made Karn a little sad and he couldn't show his feelings in front of outsiders, so he had to suppress it all the time, and now he finally saw his close friend Karn also began to talk without any care, from the recent encounter to the helplessness of his father being coerced by the ministers, Karn poured out all his feelings to the friend in front of him.

And the castle lord was habitually flattering while pouring wine.

Karn raised his glass and drank it down, slammed it on the table and said angrily, "Hey, since you are a friend, you don't need to deal with me, don't worry about what you want to say." ”

Karn's drastic change in expression caused his stiff face to crack and even begin to bleed.

The lord stepped forward to help Karn sit down and took the medicine from behind the throne and applied it to Karn's face.

"Your Highness, did you forget to bring your medicine? I still have a box here, which should be enough. ”

Karn took the castle master's hand and said, "Is there still a gap between you and me?" ”

The castle lord was dull for a moment, and then whispered, "Karn! ”

The two then hugged each other excitedly, and the lord began to pour out his displeasure at being pushed out of the political center because he wanted to be more radical.

An hour later, the dinner began, and Ankka appeared on top of it wearing a black robe that had been made in a hurry.

The whole dinner was more extravagant than Anka's previous appearance, the whole table was covered with meat and all kinds of exotic fruits, desserts, and all kinds of mellow wines and juices, and the beautiful maids wore light veils and danced in the middle of the dance floor to the music of the musicians.

Ankka had only heard of such sights from bishops who preached everywhere, but these were originally thought to exist only in heaven by Anka, and now they were actually placed in front of Anka, which greatly shocked Anka.

At the feast, Karn and the castle master began to communicate with each other using runestones.

"What's the background of this Anka? Can it be trusted? ”

"It should be possible, I plan to bring him to the royal city and use his great power to force those old things to give up their selfish decisions."

"Bringing such a dangerous person to the royal city without a clear investigation, you are playing with fire!"

Karn then looked at the castle lord and said, "Do I have any other options?" ”

After that, the two fell into silence for a while, and kept pouring themselves wine.

Ankka wanted to go outside to drain the water after he had eaten his fill, when Ankka came to the corner of the city wall with a voice that he had heard.

"It's Anka, help us!"

Ankka looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the sound was coming from a slave shed, and Ankka walked to the rudimentary shed and was surprised to find that it was full of the inhabitants of the old fortress that he knew, and there were even a dozen children who had passed out due to serious illness.

"Why are you here?" Ankha didn't want to ignore these people who were kind to her, and didn't want these children to be sold around as slaves from an early age, just like herself, so she decided to help them.

"Woo, we escaped under the desperate cover of some soldiers after encountering those monsters, and then some people were frozen to death or lost due to the storm, and the lord of the castle here imprisoned us here as refugees after we finally came here for help."

Hearing this, Anka's angry expression revealed and said sadly: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone who has helped me be persecuted in front of me. ”

"Hey! Get away from there! The guard shouted as he noticed Ankka in front of the slave shed.

"Let them go!" Ankka glared at the guard.

"Hehe, what are you, if you want to let them go, you either take the money or the castle owner allows it, anyway, did you run out of it?"

As he spoke, he put a hand on Anka's shoulder to control Anka, but Anka didn't contain his strength, directly crushed the opponent's arms, and then pulled the opponent's hands directly down.

"Wait until I'll get back!" Ankh turned back to reassure the frightened refugees before returning to the fort.

Ankka angrily leaps into the middle of the dance floor, and the dancers and musicians are frightened away by Ankka, who is covered in blood.

"Why is it so noisy outside!" The castle lord heard the commotion outside, and opened the curtain in annoyance, and found Ankka, covered in blood, walking slowly towards him.

"Ahh

The castle lord was frightened and retreated, and Karn stepped forward to help him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ankka then came up to Karn and looked at Karn with her own angry eyes.

Karn, though a little agitated by the situation, quickly calmed down and invited Ankka to sit in his chair and ask what was going on.

Ankh paused for a moment and then looked at the castle lord and asked, "Why do you define your own people as slaves and put a price tag in a place like that?" ”

The lord of the castle relieved himself and said, "Ah, what compatriots? It's just some homeless homeless people, even if I arrest it, someone else will catch it, if you like it, take it away, I won't stop it. ”

Ankka was directly angry by this sentence, and angrily pulled out the magic sword and said, "People are not goods!" ”

"Now that you're an outcast, what's the difference?" The castle lord said tremblingly.

Ankka looked at the magic sword and remembered that he was able to live like a human because of the magic sword, and then Ankka sighed lightly and said, "Since I have such power, don't I even have the ability to save others?" ”

Ankka then stabbed the magic sword against the wall, looked at the castle lord and said, "Release them and give them a normal identity." ”

Karn spoke, "What if there are people in it who are parasitized by brain-eating worms?" ”

Ankh was dumbfounded for a moment, after all, he really couldn't do anything to save some people and destroy more.

"So what do you say?"

"Brain-eating insects are afraid of fire and salt, I will take someone to deal with it later, move the people who are not parasitized to the nearby forest, let them rebuild their homes, and the destination is not too far away, and the wind outside has long stopped."

Just as Ankka agreed, he grabbed one foot and stepped outside the curtain and said, "I'll go too!" ”

After all, in Anka's heart, he still can't trust these capricious nobles, so it's safest to watch them check on himself.

The trio then made their way through a messy corridor to the outside of the slave shed, where Ankh calmed them down and told them to come out one by one for examination.

Later, after the inspection, it was learned that the 980 people were not parasitic at all, and then Anka also coerced the castle owner to take out a large amount of medicine, food and horse-drawn carts to send them to the ruins at the edge of the forest not far away, and asked the castle owner to send someone to help them build houses.

Ankka then watched the grateful men leave his vision, and then Ankka went back to his room to rest, and before leaving, he warned the lord of the castle that he would come back to see them in a few days so that the lord would not harm them.

After that, the castle lord and Karn returned to the throne room, and the castle lord flipped the table angrily and shouted, while Karn began to think about how to get along with Ankka or control Ankka in the future, after all, Anka's favorability of himself will definitely decline after this incident, and how to get along with him safely is a problem that Karn needs to solve urgently.
