Chapter 19: Departure
"Captain Emir!" Escort Jimmy arrived with eight men.
The group had blood stains on them, some with wounds, and looked like they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Herag asked, "Didn't you go?" ”
Jimmy laughed, "We're not the ones who have no conscience, we just killed some of the Behards. We don't have anywhere to go, so we'll just follow Captain Emir in the future. ”
The emir did not speak, and he hugged the guards in turn.
"Let's bury the lords first." The emir was silent for a moment before saying.
Jimmy asked, "Do those who grab things care?" ”
"We need to get out of here as soon as possible, the fate of the Valley of Dur is unknown for the time being due to the death of the lord, but it certainly won't fall to Miss Melissa. Miss Melissa would be in danger if she continued to stay here, because she was an obstacle to the distribution of benefits. Emir explained.
All the members of Baron's family are dead, and the barony is not inheritable, but the existing wealth is something that Melissa can inherit.
Although judging from the spell of Bloodborne Curse, it is very likely that Melissa is not Baron Buck's biological daughter, but Emir is.
But all this doesn't matter anymore.
Melissa is only the nominal successor, and who actually inherits it depends on the outcome of the game between the parties.
Melissa has no strength or power now, and it is not easy to protect herself, and she has no hope of fighting for the land, mines and other wealth of the territory.
Jimmy's knights are willing to choose to follow, but they actually take a big risk.
If anyone chooses to liquidate Melissa, they will all have to die with them.
Herag returned to the back garden, looked at the well-kept flowers and plants in the garden, and sighed: "Old Henry, I don't have time to help you get these flowers and plants. In the near future, it is estimated that the castle will not have a new owner, so let these flowers and plants grow wildly. ”
Old Henry had already prepared a coffin for himself, and Herag carried it out of a hut, and then gently put Old Henry inside.
Herag glanced at the longbow on the wall, thought for a moment, and took it off and put it in the coffin.
When he sorted out the relics of old Henry, he found that all the silver coins he had given him before, old Henry had put them in a money bag, and none of them were useless.
Hill behind the castle.
Here, Herag and his party dug pits and buried Baron Baron's family and old Henry here.
"Henry Brand's Tomb"
Gerag erected a stone tablet for old Henry, something he had promised when he borrowed a bow and arrows for the first time.
At the foot of the back mountain, three carriages have been parked.
Melissa was directing the guards to sort things into the car.
She looked calm, but her eyes were still red.
A lot of the castle's belongings have been robbed, but there are always hidden places that only a descendant like Melissa knows.
These possessions were enough for her to live a prosperous life for the rest of her life, but she obviously didn't just want to be a rich woman.
Once everything was cleaned up, the convoy began to move forward.
Herag and the emir rode to the front, and Melissa fell asleep in the carriage.
She hadn't slept since yesterday and was physically and mentally exhausted.
"How long does it take to get to Norcentan College from here?" Khrag asked.
The emir replied, "If it goes well, it will take about three months." ”
"Three months is a long journey." Herag looked ahead, and the road ahead was unknown.
They were on a trip to Norcentan College in the Pearl Province to seek refuge from Melissa's mentor, Claude University.
Melissa and Claude are true mentor-apprentice relationships, not the kind of shallow relationships maintained by money.
Claude is a highly respected existence in the entire Norton Kingdom, and he can accept Melissa as a student because Melissa is talented.
Baron Buck is only a baron after all, and his status is too different from Claude's.
In this situation, only Claude can shelter Melissa.
Herag looked at the sunset over the skyline and said, "I'm going to leave when I get you to Norcentan." ”
The emir was surprised: "Leave? Where are you going? ”
"I don't know, but I want to be a wizard, so I'll look for clues when the time comes." Herag said with a determined look in his eyes.
After going through the events of the past few days, Herag was even more eager to become stronger and eager to become a wizard.
He didn't want his fate to be in the hands of others, and a knight as strong as Baron Buck couldn't even make a wave in the hands of a wizard.
Herag will never forget the way Malcolm looked at everyone that day, like he was looking at worms.
"Then you can ask Scholar Claude then, he is the most knowledgeable person in the entire Norton Kingdom." The emir proposed.
One of Herrag's purposes was to visit Claude University, and most importantly, he wanted to visit the library of Norcentan College.
Having been in this world for so long, Deep Blue has not had much substantial knowledge input.
Deep Blue's database is now empty, and there is a lack of information about the history, humanities, and geography of this world.
Herage specifically asked Melissa that Norcentan College was the only place in the country with a library that stored a large number of books.
As the convoy drove down the road, the people of the territory on the side of the road stopped to watch.
Someone clenched his hands into fists and put them on his heart, and then everyone began to do this, watching Melissa's motorvoy leave.
Word has spread about what happened in the castle, and Melissa is the only one who survives.
Baron Buck was not strict with the people of his realm during his lifetime, at least ensuring that they would not starve to death.
Now that the lord is dead, it is unknown who will take over in the future, and they don't know if they will be better off than Baron Barker.
Jimmy and the others who were traveling with him had already adjusted their moods, but now when they saw this scene, they were inevitably a little sentimental.
This is where they grew up, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to return this time.
Melissa has been getting calmer and calmer these days, but everyone can see that she is holding a breath in her heart, most likely to revive the glory of the family.
She didn't care if she was born to Baron Buck, it didn't matter, she would always be a member of the Sara family.
……
Half a month later, late at night.
The convoy found an open spot and camped for the night, and Herag lay on a haystack looking out at the sky.
As long as it's sunny, you can see the starry sky at night, and the dense stars always make him can't get enough of it.
He lay down for a while without feeling sleepy, then took out his pocket watch and played with it.
When the watch was opened, the hands inside were still walking.
"This tower always feels a little weird......" Herag stared at the hexagonal tower in the background of the chassis, for some reason, the tower always caught his eye.
