"My lord, it's time to eat. ”

Brandon's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door outside, and he came back to his senses, patted his cheek, tried to clear himself up, and then said in a deep voice, "Come in, Herland." ”

A boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked into the room with a dinner plate, with curly brown hair and a little freckles on his face, he put his dinner on Brandon's table, and stood quietly waiting for Brandon to eat, looking a little reserved.

"What's the matter?

Brandon put down his knife and fork, he walked up to Heran and grabbed Helan's left hand that had been hiding behind him, he had noticed a little bruise on Helan's bare arm early on, he knew the character of this child, if he didn't ask, he would never have and would not dare to say it.

"My lord, these injuries are my own ......"

"Herlan, remember the first thing I told you!?"

Brandon slammed the plate on the table to the ground, staring at Herlan with a grim face, what he hated most in his life was lying, no matter who it was, no matter what the intention was, he would never forgive.

"You are not allowed to lie...... Helan said in a suppressed trembling voice.

"Who is it?"

Brandon exhaled deeply, gradually calming down some of his agitation, he knew that Herlan was frightened by himself, but he just couldn't restrain his anger at the liar or the liar, even if Dick lied to him, he would turn his face on the spot.

"Jossen and William, they are the heads of the new sinners, my lord, you have trained them harshly, they have always dared to be angry, but it is impossible to take revenge on you, so they take revenge on me in private, they threaten me not to speak out, otherwise they will kill me while I am asleep. ”

Although Helan's eyes were red and he was crying, he did not cry from beginning to end, did not shed a single tear, the border keeper does not need tears, only glory and sacrifice, he is the one who has taken the oath.

"What did they do to you?"

Brandon only noticed Helan's dark circles at this moment, this poor child doesn't know how long he has endured bullying, how long has he not slept well, no wonder he has been listless for half a month, if he wasn't noticed by himself today, how long could he endure it?

"They peed on my food, forced me to eat it, beat me when I was in a bad mood, soaked my bed in water, and ......"

Herlan couldn't say any more, he didn't want to think about those pictures anymore, and Brandon didn't plan to continue asking, that group of scum had committed a crime and was forcibly escorted to the Void City, they were the ones who should have been executed, this kind of person has no bottom line and humanity at all, and taking an oath is simply equivalent to farting for them, and the training these days seems to have made them have a lot of grievances in their hearts.

Brandon pulled out the steel sword at his waist, handed it to Helan's hand, and said coldly, "There is no coward in the border keepers, go, take my sword, whoever has done it to you, go and kill them now, cut off their heads, and put them on my table, I will give you this right today, but only today, if you can't do it, you can continue to endure it, and I will not help you again." ”

"But...... But ...... adults"

Herlan looked at the steel sword handed by Brandon with a bewildered expression, he wanted to take it but didn't dare to take it, let alone kill people, the worst thing he had ever done in his life was stealing money, and it was precisely because of stealing money that he was caught by the guards and sent to Void City, as for killing people, he didn't even think about it.

"Okay, if you don't dare, you can go out, from now on, you are no longer my personal affairs officer, Heran, don't say that I didn't give you a chance, I have already put it in front of you, it is you who have not grasped it, it is you who are afraid. ”

Brandon shook his head in disappointment, although he was not ashamed of what those people had done, but he was more annoyed by Herlan's cowardice, a coward was not worthy of being his affairs officer, let alone the word Frontier Keeper.

"Little ghost, don't you understand what he means? The deacon of Winter City has given you this right, and today you are the executioner, what are you afraid of? The dead will not take revenge on you. ”

Dick suddenly pushed the door in, he snatched the steel sword from Brandon's hand, and forcibly stuffed it into Herlan's arms, Brandon looked at Dick in surprise, remembering Dick's previous remarks, and suddenly understood most of it.

Herlan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, holding the hilt of his sword tightly, even though his hand was still trembling slightly, he admitted that he was cowardly, otherwise he would not have become Brandon's personal affairs officer, but followed Dick to become a ranger and become a real border keeper, this kind of endurance has no end, even if Brandon doesn't say it, he knows very well in his heart that you can't reason with the wicked, and excessive concessions will only make the other party feel that you are a bully, and will only make them more unscrupulous.

In that case, then kill them, the dead will not retaliate......

"Dick, it can't be what I thought it would be, would it?"

Brandon looked at the back of Herlan leaving with a strange expression, and just as Dick was about to follow, he got up and stopped this old friend, this kind of thing is not a big fuss in the Void City, but he didn't plan to let Dick go so easily, after all, this is also Helan is also his personal affairs officer.

"Fuck off, you still have the face to ask me, look at what kind of stuff you trained, scum like this should be trained to death, Void City is not a place to be exempted from crimes, if you want me to say that they will all be sent to Night Castle tomorrow, do you really think they are worthy of the status of Border Keepers?"

Dick pushed Brandon away in some annoyance, and before Brandon could reply, he chased after him.

......

The bathing room was filled with the pungent smell of sweat, the floor was piled with black and gray linen clothes, I don't know if it was this color or was blackened by dust, more than twenty men chatted with each other, the topics were all filthy, although the crime was exonerated, but the Void City was not as easy as imagined, especially the damn deacon, said it was training, but the shot was not light or heavy, and he was often bruised after a day of training.

When people have a common object of hatred, they form an alliance, and even people who originally disliked each other will develop a sense of closeness, and now Brandon is their imaginary enemy, and Herlan has become the object of their venting.

Just as they were discussing how to tease Helan for fun next time, the door of the bathroom room was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew away the filthy heat inside, and a weak young man less than 1.7 meters tall, holding a steel sword, stood at the door with a nervous expression.

"What are you doing here?"

William raised his eyebrows, took off the towel hanging around his neck and wiped his forehead, his upper body, his knotted muscles were full of scars, and his long curly hair was still dripping, he stood up and walked in front of Heran, William, who was nearly two meters tall, was like an insurmountable wall to Herlan, this familiar sense of oppression, Heran tried his best to resist the urge to throw down his sword and turn around and run.

"Yo, you're still holding a sword, what's wrong boy? Are you planning to kill us all to vent your anger? Why don't you just stand here and don't move, do you dare to do it?"

Qiao Sen grinned, he was wearing nothing, all over, he squinted his eyes and stood in front of Heran, his eyes were full of contempt and disdain, he didn't believe that Heran had the courage to do this, this kid didn't take the wrong medicine.

"Hahaha......"

"Don't tease him, Qiao Sen, look at you, you're about to scare the little girl into crying. ”

The laughter and mockery made Helan blush, he tried to let the anger in his heart overpower reason, but he couldn't, he knew very well that as long as he dared to make a move, he would be mercilessly knocked to the ground by the group of people in front of him, and in the end, the only thing he would get was a beating, and the fear in his heart directly overwhelmed the anger.

William sneered and pushed away Qiao Sen, who was blocking in front of him, and his rough palm gently grabbed Helan's hair, dragging him in front of him, and the two of them were almost face to face, "Boy, I just finished taking a shower, and I'm not interested in beating you, now give me as far as I can." ”

After saying this, he threw Helan out of the air, glanced at the bloody broken hair on his hand, and walked towards the house with a sneer, but the moment he turned his head, the sharp pain instantly tore his nerves.

Bang!

William was sent out without resistance, slamming into the wall, lying on the ground like mud and never moving, his face completely distorted, the bridge of his nose completely shattered, his cheeks sunken, his broken teeth scattered all over the ground, and blood gurgling.

Dick shook off the blood from his hands and sneered, "The identity of the Frontier Keeper exonerates you from the crime, but do you know what this means? You are dead in the past, whether you are a scumbag or a villain, the Void City can not be blamed in the past, but correspondingly, from that day on, you have only one identity, the Guardian of the Void City, so now please tell me, are you worthy of the three words Frontier Keeper?"

No one dared to respond, they would rather offend Brandon than anger the leader of the rangers, Dick, this is the devil who really kills people without blinking, but usually, at this time, Dick is either drunk or going out alone, how can it be so coincidental today, is it not Helan informing?

Thinking of this, Qiao Sen glanced at Helan who was struggling to get up, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"What are you looking at?"

Dick slammed his grip on Joeson's neck and pushed him against the wall, his smile was so hideous and terrifying, Jossen was completely out of breath, his face was flushed and he wanted to break free of Dick's hand, but the seemingly thin man in front of him, the strength of his hand was surprisingly strong, almost lifting him up in the air.

"The worst thing I'm good at is reasoning, it's so troublesome, it's a waste of words, and I don't necessarily be able to convince the other party, you say, Qiao Sen? I've been in the Void City for more than twenty years, and I've actually learned one thing, and that's to kill people, to bully a child who hasn't reached adulthood, that's what you're capable of? To be honest, I can kill you bastards without using my hands. ”
