17. Confluence

"We're almost at the end, haven't you been in touch yet?"

As the destination drew nearer, the butler, sitting in the carriage, looked out the window with a sad face—the rest of the road had become much more secure since the deliberate attack a few days earlier, and it was precisely because of this that his worries were growing stronger.

Because if there was any change in the team before and after, it would undoubtedly be that two members of the team left...... It's clear that someone is targeting Lilier for purpose.

Although the butler still had a lot of worries in his heart, based on the special situation now, he would rather the contact on Liliye's side arrive later. It would be great if you could get away from this land of right and wrong for a while.

"Hopefully, that mercenary lady is a trustworthy person......"

The butler didn't think that the young mercenary would do anything to betray her eldest lady, and judging from the strength she had shown before, as long as she could protect Liliet, I believe that there would not be much threat to hurt her eldest lady...... It's just that, subjectively, out of his sight, the housekeeper still can't let go.

"But when it comes to that...... Sure enough, most of the problems now come from the country, right?"

If he said that there was nothing wrong on that side, he wouldn't believe it if he killed the housekeeper.

It was a bit intriguing as to why such a problem could arise on orc territory - but it wasn't something he had to worry about anyway.

In a word. As long as the eldest lady is fine......

"YOOOOOOO~Morning Mr. Housekeeper~"

“......!!!”

In the midst of the butler's stunned expression, Aisha suddenly appeared in the carriage where he was with Lilier.

"Grandpa Mao, morning!"

Despite the fact that the sun has not yet risen. It was still very dark, and it was still before dawn when he shouted good morning, which was a strange feeling, but Liliye, who had not seen the old butler for a few days, also said good morning to the butler with Aisha.

"You ...... How could you?"

The butler tried to say something, but Lilier threw herself into his arms, causing him to stop his words abruptly.

"Uh......h It's great that you're okay with Grandpa Mao!"

"That's right. I'm sorry, I'm really tired of you, Miss, you're worried about me. ”

The old housekeeper couldn't help but sigh, it had been a long time since he had seen his eldest lady be so coquettish - I remembered that it was a long time ago, right? I can still easily pick up the eldest lady. Since then......

"I suppose you must be very strange, why would I take Liliet back to this place of right and wrong?"

Aisha interrupted the warm atmosphere rather unconsciously.

However, none of the people present were accountants. Mr. Butler will not talk about it for the time being. Lilia also noticed that she seemed to have done something like coquettishness to her elders in front of Aisha, and immediately retreated to the side in shock.

"The actual situation, I believe you also have a little clue, right?,Some can be said, some can't be said, and some are not suitable for being said on the table.,I've skipped it all here~"

“...... You, what do you know?"

The housekeeper keenly felt that in Aisha's words. Seems to indicate something.

"It's okay. Lilier put her hand on the old butler's elbow, signaling that he had nothing to worry about. "If you really want to talk about it, it's a coincidence, isn't it? Aisha can be considered my elder...... Thanks to Aisha's help, I may be able to fulfill my mother's wishes. ”

"It's not 'maybe', it's 'definitely'!"

Aisha reluctantly knocked Liliet's head - up to now, Liliet is still a little unconfident about the fate she is about to face, maybe in her opinion, this kind of hidden life experience and adventure like the protagonist in the novel is really a bit illusory......

"You ...... What the hell are you talking about?"

The old butler didn't react for a moment.

Aisha understood a little, and it was no wonder that the old butler would help Liliel escape with her, instead of following the orders of "some other people...... It seems that this old man, who grew up serving Liliet, should have followed Liliet's mother before, right?

However, it is also wise for Lilier to refer to herself as an "elder" and not to give out her specific identity. Although most people must think that they are joking if they really want to say it, but if that is the case, it is still a very troublesome thing......

Roughly speaking...... In the future, this awkward position, as well as the miscellaneous things that bound Liliet, can be shaken off. What is the filth of the Southern Kingdom, there is no need to swallow it in the future...... Of course, now we have encountered some small troubles, so we can't help it~ On the orc side, we have to come. ”

Seeing that the old butler was still a little dizzy, but he also seemed to grasp the gist vaguely, but he still looked a little incredulous, Aisha waved her hand and motioned for Liliet to explain it to him slowly. And she herself walked out of the carriage.

......

While Liliet and the old butler explained, Aisha was outside carefully checking the situation.

Because it was not yet dawn, the caravan did not move forward, but it seemed that many people had already woken up.

"Or ...... Is there some attrition?"

Aisha found that compared to the team before she left, although the size of the team is still not small, it is still a little reduced. It seems that even without a devastating attack that is deliberately targeted, the danger along the way is still not small. The danger of this journey is truly worthy of the name of the loss that can make the convoy under such strict protection a little lost.

Thankfully, it was when the sandstorm hit. There are no orcs on the surface, and some people may have noticed that something is wrong, but most people still regard it as a "misfortune" coincidence, right?

As for those few people, as long as they are not stupid, no one will talk nonsense and upset the hearts and morale of the people in the convoy, right?

“......”

Wait a minute. Aisha remembered that there really seemed to be that kind of stupid person in this convoy.

Subconsciously. Aisha set her sights on where the mercenaries were stationed in the outer circle of the convoy.

"Forget it, I'd better run to that kind of place less, God knows what weird troubles will be on the road......" After thinking for a while, Aisha still made such a decision - since ancient times. Secondary 2 is surrounded by trouble-prone areas.

I don't know if it's my bad luck or bad luck. Even if Aisha deliberately wants to get around the other side, this kind of thing is a two-way street, you don't go, someone will come back.

呲——!

A long sword swirled past the top of the carriage in front of her, cutting towards Aisha as she passed by—almost subconsciously, the gray hair on Aisha's head curved in an eerie arc, narrowly avoiding the sudden attack without warning.

"Gan ......"

Aisha's face turned gloomy on the spot.

What is this? It's early in the morning, though no one is moving. But just staged a full martial arts, even if it didn't accidentally hurt the people around you. It's not right to hurt flowers and plants by mistake - hearing the sounds of quarrels and fights coming from nearby, Aisha was so angry that she laughed.

One of the scolding voices seems to be a little familiar......

Aisha thought for a moment, picked up the flying sword stuck in the ground, and walked towards the place of the battle step by step with a low air pressure all over her body.

"Sure enough......"

Isn't one of them the young mercenary who left a lot of impression on him at that time? Although being able to remember the death of his companion and be determined to avenge him is considered good among mercenaries who have always been ruthless, but also consider how many catties and taels he has, right?

It seems that this conflict should be his decision to avoid his own regiment commander in private...... Judging from the previous situation, although that guy is impulsive, he still listens to his head (YOOOOOOOOOOOO~), and he doesn't look like the kind of person who will hide from others...... Impulsiveness is very impulsive, and the brain is also very straight, but it definitely doesn't look like the kind of villain who is in front of him and behind the scenes.

In other words, it should be a sudden situation? At this time...... Most likely, it was when he was on patrol duty that he was aroused into anger and anger, right?

“......”

Looking at the development in the field, Aisha couldn't help but frown.

Although Aisha doesn't like that kind of impulsive and reckless person, and even has some annoyance, it is also acceptable to Aisha, after all, such behavior is also human. However, the person on the other side who was confronting him, Aisha couldn't give a good impression at all.

Looking at the unconcealed evil smile on the other party's face and the ugly emotions in his eyes, it is really not difficult to imagine what happened before that caused this side to fight.

And that kind of swordsmanship......

If it is said that the secondary two youth (embarrassment...... In the state of anger, the next move is towards the fatal place, but it looks extremely fierce, but it can still be seen that the gestures are quite decent swordsmanship, straight and straight, just like his own character. On the other side, the sword in his hand seemed to be like a poisonous snake, sinister and vicious.

Viper attacks have always been fatal with one blow, but it's not quite right to say that it's a murderous sword, Aisha can still tell that that kind of swordsmanship is more focused on "hurting people" than killing people - so that the sword is not to control the enemy, but to torture the other party, from the beginning, this person's personality has been distorted, right?

If this was the young man's enemy, wouldn't the death of his companion be wonderful......

Right now, because of the young mercenary's life-fighting style, it makes the other party a little constrained for a while - although there is indeed a big gap between the two, but the young man's foundation is also good, once he fights for his life. It also leveled the gap between the two for a while. It's just that, after all, this is just supported by a sense of anger, and it is defeated. It's just a matter of time.

Just thinking about it, with two pops, two holes were opened in the young mercenary's legs, one on the left and one on the right. It seemed that the artery had not been injured, but the tendon was injured, and the young man had no room to fight back, and fell to the ground at once.

"It's ugly. ”

Maybe for that young man. At the very least, then I will soon go into shock from massive bleeding, and I will no longer have to endure the other party's hateful face and verbal ridicule and insults.

That kind of wound. Obviously, the other party has a lot of experience in creating this kind of wound, and the two fast swords directly nullify the opponent's combat power, think about it. I change it to usual. The next step is to brutalize and kill his opponents, right? Although he can't kill the young man for various reasons now, even if he can save his life and lose the ability to stand on the ground on two legs, then he will be a waste from now on.

After picking up the sword in her hand and examining it for a while, Aisha looked into the distance, and the distorted face of the Deser was holding an identical sword in his hand, and there were two scabbards pinned to his waist.

After pondering for a moment. Aisha compared the distance between herself and the other party, and the sword in her hand. Straight into a crack.

Puff –

At the same time, a gap opened above the man, and the sword was in free fall...... Subsequently, it was inserted into his shoulder.

If it weren't for Aisha's intend to make a big noise, the place where the sword fell just now would not be the shoulder, but the head.

"It's early in the morning, it's not good to litter. The thing you just lost almost hit a passerby, but I'm an honest and good person, so this sword should be returned to its original owner~"

"You ......"

The man's face was no longer calm and vicious, and when he saw Aisha appear, he immediately hid the anger and murderous aura on his face - if he messed up, God knows what kind of fate would happen to Lu Dao, he is different from that stupid boy, the difference between strength and weakness is still very clear.

The girl on the other side is not on the same level as himself at all! Don't look at her smiling and moaning very kindly, he also saw the scene of the other party cutting the sandstorm before.

And listening to her statement, it seems that the sword that was knocked out by that kid before seemed to almost hit the other party......

The man's cold sweat immediately began to break out.

However, now, the dangerous girl did not make the next move, he did not dare to act rashly, even if the wound on his shoulder was constantly oozing blood, he could only secretly endure the pain that was eroding his nerves, and did not dare to make the slightest move.

"And then there'...... Please don't make a fuss while others are resting, understand?"

Aisha glanced around, it seemed that because of the sound of the fight, many people began to wake up one after another, and those who were already awake seemed to have noticed something and were preparing to come here to find out.

"If you understand, then let me disappear in front of me!"

As soon as he heard Aisha's words, the man immediately turned his head and ran—but the moment he turned around and took a step, the sword on his shoulder, as if controlled by some force, actually stabbed a little deeper.

"You haven't answered me yet, do you understand......"

"Ming...... Got it!"

The man shuddered and replied to the demon-like figure behind him.

After saying this, he watched as Aisha's frowning brow loosened, and she struggled to get up from the ground, fleeing in embarrassment.

"Can you still stand up?"

The young man who fell to the ground looked at Aisha with a complicated expression, and then shook his head.

"It's useless...... It's useless...... I can't take revenge, and even I made myself look like this...... Ha Luha, I can't even stand up, how am I going to go-"

The young man's words were not finished.

"According to you, those who can't hold a sword are not qualified to take revenge? The blind, the deaf, and the broken legs are also not qualified for revenge?

Aisha said as she kept putting pressure on her feet.

"What do you think...... Is it because you have the ability to take revenge, so you want to take revenge, or because you have a hatred that you have to solve, so you want to take revenge? If it's the latter, what does it have to do with whether you can use a sword, whether you can cut people, whether you can be stronger than the other party?"

"Or is your so-called hatred and revenge based on your senseless pride and the shame of failure?

Feeling that her head, which had been trampled on the soles of her feet at first, was now struggling again, Aisha let go of her feet on top of the young man's head.

"Let me ask you again, can you still stand up?"

......

"Aisha, how do you think you seem to be happy?"

Seeing Aisha's happy face ♀ when she returned, Lilia asked curiously.

"Hawkers, of course I feel very happy to be able to satisfy my desire to preach and pretend to be 13 at the same time~ I have to say that being looked at with that kind of reverence and gratitude is really very satisfying!"

"Huh?"

Lilia said that she didn't understand what Aisha's incoherent answer meant.

"It's all inconsequential little things, don't care, don't care~"

For Aisha, it is not difficult to get a disabled person to stand up again, even if it is a dead person...... It's just a matter of effort.

"All in all, it's probably like those caring people who see a stray puppy being pitiful and give him some dry food, right......?"

PS: QAQ haha ha......ha haha ha The sword spirit scum configuration can't run, and sure enough, I can only come back to code words with peace of mind~
