Money?

Matthew smiled bitterly: "Do you think I look like a rich man?"

For the first time since he arrived in Silonia, he felt that he was one step closer to finding his daughter, and he was not willing to give up the opportunity no matter what.

The porter shrugged: "No, so, I can only say that there is nothing I can do." ”

He got up, held up a worn-out black umbrella, and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Matthew's arm, his strength was so great that the porter struggled several times and couldn't help but be a little annoyed.

"Don't dwell on it, I'm just kindly pointing you out, not to make trouble for myself. ”

He struggled to shake off Matthew's arm, and the cripple was so unsteady that he fell directly into a puddle of water on the side, splashing all over his body.

He sat in the rain, staring at the porter, his eyes unblinking.

The porter's eyes were a little evasive, and he snorted softly: "Don't look at me like this, it's useless." ”

Matthew didn't speak, still staring at him.

The people who sheltered from the rain under the same roof as them stared at this scene as if they were watching a farce, as if chewing on the suffering of others would add a touch of sweetness to their lives.

"You get up first. ”

Matthew didn't move.

"You get up first, and then I'll think about whether to help you. ”

Matthew breathed a visibly relieved sigh as he propped himself up on the ground with both arms, trying to get to his feet.

"What a hassle!"

The porter muttered, he closed the umbrella, tucked it under his armpit, and lifted Matthew up from the puddle with both hands: "How did your leg lame?"

Matthew whispered back in a hoarse voice: "I used to be a concrete cavalryman in the Southern Military Region of the Empire, and I have nothing to say about the sequelae of a battle. ”

The porter sighed: "Tsk, I'm still a knight master." ”

"Huh. ”

Matthew smiled and didn't speak.

Today, unlike in the past, the armaments of the empire are changing rapidly, and chainssaws, air shields, and pipes of iron balls can burst out from afar......

His old commander once said that in a few years, maybe the cavalry would not even ride horses, and would directly replace them with "steam-powered armor".

Times have changed, and the selection criteria have long since been changed for the armored cavalry, and the veterans who are experienced and skilled in archers and horses have retired one after another, not to mention that he is a lame.

Besides, cavalry is not the same thing as the knights of those small feudal countries in the West.

"Come with me, there are a lot of people here, and it's not a place to discuss things. ”

"But I don't have any money. ”

The porter smiled and said, "I won't take you." ”

"What's your plan?"

"Heh, I'm quite vigilant. ”

The porter couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are a cripple, what can I ask of you?"

"Thank you. ”

"It's too early to say thank you, tell me how your daughter was lost, and to be honest, I may not be able to help you much. ”

The two shared a black umbrella and walked into the rain.

Speaking of this, Matthew's expression darkened slightly, and he looked at the ripples stirred up by the rain in front of him.

"Two months ago, I went out to the mountains to pick up the trap that I had put two days ago, and when I came back, she was gone, but there were traces of a fight in the house, and I asked the villagers, saying that someone had broken in and taken my daughter away. ”

"Are all soft eggs in your village?"

Matthew chuckled: "We are outsiders, and we don't usually have much contact with them, how can we ask them to risk their lives to help?"

"Tsk, what happened later?"

"The villagers said that this was a group of slave traders who had recently wandered to the neighborhood, and that I had been chasing them for a long time, but by the time I found them, my daughter had already been sold by them. ”

"Sold to?"

"I don't know, that person is very mysterious, wearing a hood, wrapped tightly up and down, and after paying the money, he will leave overnight. ”

"That is, you are not at all sure that she was sold to Silonia by human traffickers?"

"Yes. ”

"But you're right, judging by his way of doing things, he looks a lot like the people of Silonia, where people come and go every day, and there are thirty-eight brothels of all sizes in Silonia - oh yes, your daughter must be pretty good-looking, right?"

"Don't stare at me with such eyes, this kind of thing has already happened, you should have been mentally prepared earlier. ”

Matthew let out an "um" and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, my daughter is beautiful." ”

"That's good. ”

The porter was silent for a long time before he said: "My sister is different, she is dark and thin, I used to call her Firewood Girl, and I think it was because of this that she was sold to a beggar and broke her hands and feet." ”

The porter sighed: "It's a pity that her parents didn't give her a pretty face." ”

"I'm sorry. ”

"Ha, there's nothing to apologize for, after so many years, I've long since seen it. ”

"You didn't think about revenge?"

"Of course I thought about it, but I just thought about it, because I didn't know where to start, and I didn't even know who kidnapped my sister. ”

Matthew clenched his fists: "The law doesn't matter, turning free people into slaves was going to the gallows in the past!"

"Hehe, no one knows the Fa better than them. ”

Matthew's face was flushed with anger: "This is the country we once fought for and protected, but now it has become like this!"

"Don't say such stupid things, Calradia is not ours, but theirs. ”

The porter pointed to the top of his head: "No power and no power, in the eyes of the old man, we are inferior people, slightly stronger than cattle, horses, pigs and sheep." ”

"Haven't asked you what your name is?"

"Me?"

The porter's expression was playful, and he thought for a moment before he said, "Call me Chalotra to forget it." ”

...

The chaos in the imperial capital of Karad was quickly pacified.

After the demigod Nasrezm left, the people controlled by him also returned to normal, and after some fierce debate, it was temporarily decided that Queen Frosia would be regent, and he would not succeed to the throne until Trajan, the only son of the former Emperor Araceus, came of age.

But this stability is only temporary, and both Leon and Anivia know that one will have two, and with Nasrezm's ability, they can make a comeback at any time.

"Your face doesn't look good. ”

"Hmm. ”

Anivia answered, and he said softly, "Nasrezm, can you occupy the body of a demigod?"

"No, you can't. ”

Leon shook his head: "This ability will not exist in this world, the only possibility is that this great magician Antonios, from beginning to end, is a Nasrezm." ”

"The devil has already infiltrated this world like a sieve, how can this be beaten? The original rhetoric seems to be extremely ridiculous at this moment. ”

Anivia was somewhat frustrated.

This highly respected Phoenix King's mood at this moment can be said to have fallen to the bottom.

"What's the point of saying that? I never thought we could win, but we couldn't just surrender without a fight because we were destined to lose. ”

Li Ang frowned, even an indigenous demigod like you has no fighting spirit, what is the need for me to stay?
