As the two spoke, Haredith had emerged from the forest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Aside from the broken branches and leaves hanging from his body, the Drow Elf looked like he was on a regular day, but Blake behind him was in a bad condition. Blake was laid across the horse's back like a piece of cargo, his body covered in blood, his limbs hanging low and lifeless, swaying gently with the horse's footsteps, his whole head obscured by his drooping hair, and his face could not be seen.

Seeing Blake's appearance, the baroness immediately screamed and pushed away the two maids beside her and rushed towards her son, while Hanlon and Xiuqi also exchanged a solemn look with each other and followed behind the baroness.

At this time, Haredith jumped off the horse and carried Blake, whose fate was unknown, from the horse and handed him into the arms of the baroness, and after making a reassuring gesture to the three of them, he said, "Take it easy, he is just fainting." ”

"And ...... the bloodstains on this body?" asked Hanlon.

"It's the knight's. Haredith said, but he wouldn't tell the other party that he was "helping" with the back of a knife, screaming all the time, and some of Blake, who had fallen into a frenzy of fear, fainted.

The Baroness took Blake in her arms and examined him for a while, and found that there were indeed no wounds on his body, and his breathing was steady, and the heart that had been hanging was finally relaxed. She handed Blake to the maids beside her, instructed them to carry the noble boy back to the carriage, turned around, straightened her somewhat messy hair a little, restored her former graceful demeanor, and said to Haredith: "Thank you, Mr. Nemo, for saving my child. ”

Hareddick shrugged his shoulders and said in a standard mercenary tone, "It's nothing, madam, remember to give me the bounty." ”

"This is natural. So saying, the baroness asked the maid beside her to bring a fine velvet bag from the carriage and handed it to Hareditick, and said, "These are the gems that my husband gave me, and I don't know how many gold coins they are worth, but I think they will satisfy you." ”

Haredith took the velvet bag in his hand and took it into his arms with a smile.

At this time, the baroness turned her face to Han Long and Xiu Qi, and she frowned and said worriedly: "Mr. Han Long, these holy knights ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Hanlon took a shield with the emblem of the Holy Knights in his hand and said to the Baroness, "Madam, these people are not Holy Knights. ”

"What?!" "Please take a look at this. Hanlon handed the shield to the baroness.

"This-" The Baroness was of noble birth and could see at a glance the authenticity of the red crown flower single-leaf side coat of arms on the shield: "This is a forgery?!"

The Baroness looked up at Han Long and asked, "Then who are these knights?"

"Bandits, bandits, wandering knights, mercenaries or whatever, they didn't swear an oath before the Holy Sword. Haredik said on behalf of Hanlon and Xiuqi.

The Baroness placed her shield on the ground, bowed lightly to Hanlon, and said gratefully, "I have not apologized to you for the child's rudeness, and even if the child said such things, you drew your sword for him and brought him back to me. Mr. Hanlon and Faisifer, I will never forget it. ”

"Madame, please don't be so polite, we are knights of House Miles, and we have sworn under the Holy Sword and Damico, and it is both our duty and our honor to fight for our master. ”

The Baroness thanked the two again and turned back to the carriage to take care of Blake. Hanlon and Xiuqi watched the Baroness leave, and found Haredith on the side looking at them with an inexplicable smile, so Xiuqi asked, "What's wrong?" ”...,

Haredike clasped his hands over his chest, tilted his head to the two of them, and said, "You know, I've seen a lot of Damico's puppies in the Middle Avenue and the Southern Forest, and you people—" Hareddick pointed his finger at the two and the other knights behind them who were cleaning up the battlefield and healing, "but it's a fool I've never seen before." ”

"Oh, is it?" said Xiuqi with a nonchalant shrug, "Then you're the foulest-mouthed elf I've ever seen." ”

"Huh. Hareddic laughed and walked towards his carriage, where Beata was holding the curtain on the carriage, and with a kind of panic on her little round face, she was looking at the drow elves who were coming towards her with wide round eyes.

Haredith stepped into the driver's position to remove the broken branches and leaves from his body and clean up the blood stains that had stuck to his body, and when he saw Beata like this, he opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?

Beata shook her head vigorously and whispered, "No, my father used to take me to see the criminals in our territory when I was at home before-" Beata didn't go down, but made a slight downward cut motion with her hand, and continued, "But I've never seen someone killed so closely. ”

Haredith leaned on the carriage and didn't speak, but pulled out his scimitar and wiped the blood stains on it, Beata stared at the scimitar that still had blood stains on it, shrunk her little brain and swallowed her saliva timidly, "Have you killed a lot of people?"

The drow elf tilted his head slightly, glanced at the little girl, and said, "Yes." "Aren't you afraid?"

"Scared? Sometimes, I'm afraid. ”

"And what do you do when you're scared?"

"If you're afraid, run away. Haredith laughed.

"Escape!?" said Beata in disbelief, "but the heroes of the knight's biography or the Ranger story never run away." ”

"Huh. Haredith chuckled and said, "Do you look like a hero?"

Beata shrunk her neck and didn't speak, while the Drow Elf wiped the blade of the knife, looking at her own vague reflection on the back of the knife, as if answering Beata and saying to herself, "I'm not a hero, I'm not a villain, I'm just a man who tries to live in this world, I've killed people, stolen things, and betrayed my companions, I'm not proud of it, but I'm not ashamed to admit it, because I'm still alive, and so many others have been dead for a long time." ”

Hearing these words, Beata pouted and said, "You are talking too long, I don't understand." ”

Hareddik chuckled and patted the aristocratic girl's head with his hand and smiled: "If you don't understand, don't listen, by the way, aren't you going to see your brother?"

Beata covered her forehead and whispered, "If I go over, Mom won't be happy." ”

Hareddick turned his head to look at the main carriage, which was surrounded by the maids and the accompanying doctors, and exhaled, "Yes......"

There was a sudden silence between the two, and just as Haredith took out the whetstone to do some maintenance for his scimitar, Beata beside him suddenly said, "Nemo, you can teach me how to learn the sword." ”

"Huh?!" Hareddick opened his mouth and turned his face to look at Beata in surprise.

This is the aristocratic girl's face has completely lost the expression of fear before, and her big eyes are shining with golden light and said to Haredik: "Okay, okay, teach me how to learn swords." ”

Haredith sneered and replied angrily, "Why are you a young lady learning this?"

"Leave that alone, teach me!" begged Beata as she tugged at Haredith's arm.

"You don't come to make trouble for me. Haredith said angrily: "It's good enough to teach you, the eldest lady who will marry in the future, to play cards, but if I teach you to learn swords, those dead-brained knights will know about it, and they won't have to skin me alive." ”

Despite Haredith's words, Beata didn't give up, and she hung like a little monkey on the Drow elf, pestering him. In the end, Haredith was really entangled by the other party, so he had to say: "Okay, okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll teach you yet!"

"Really! really!" said Beata excitedly, with a slight smug look in her eyes.

"But there is one condition. Haredith held a finger over Beata and said to her.

"When you can beat me in poker, I'll teach you how to sword. Hareddick also looked at the aristocratic girl proudly and said.
