In Stormland, in a small forest near a seaside mountain village, Benny lay down carefully in the grass, his eyes scanning the serfs passing by on the road from time to time.

"Why don't these lowly poor devils work today? They all rushed to the town."

Benny's condition was very bad, his eyes were red and the bags under his eyes were dark, his lips were white and cracked, and his head was covered with weeds and leaves. He was completely different from the former guard captain.

The night before yesterday, after Benny escaped from the castle on horseback, he originally planned to ride all the way to the Viscounty of Laney, so that the pursuers sent by Gervais could not cross the border to pursue him. Unfortunately, the pursuers pursued him too closely.

, Benny will most likely be overtaken before he can escape Gervais's territory.

Seeing the pursuers behind him getting closer and closer, Benny abandoned his horse in desperation and hid in the woods on the roadside.

Along the way, Benny lost his sword, a pair of shoes, and his clothes were torn by branches. Only a pair of leather armor was still intact. This was not the most unbearable thing for Benny.

The most unbearable thing for Benny was that when he felt he was safe, he found a place to stop and rest, only to find that his purse containing gold coins was also lost. This made Benny, who was already a bereaved dog, almost collapse.

Without the gold coins, he would be unable to move forward, and he would not even have the means to provide for food and clothing.

Even if he ran to Viscount Lanni's territory and was discovered like this, he would be arrested soon. The best outcome would be to be sent to the coal mines in Viscount Lanni's territory for mining.

Thinking of this possibility, Benny did not dare to escape towards the territory of Viscount Lanni. After thinking for a long time, he was ready to run to the sea because he had heard that there were many pirates on the sea.

With his current status, the only way to survive is to join the pirates.

After hiding all the way, Benny finally reached the beach. As long as he crossed the road in front of him, he could run directly to a sampan parked on the beach.

No one in the Storm Territory makes a living by fishing, so there are no fishing boats. There is only that sampan. This was made by the children in the village out of broken wooden boards in order to go out to sea to catch lobsters. This is Benny's only hope of escape now.

.

After Gervais inspected the territory yesterday, the serfs all knew that this land had a new lord, and the lord also offered a reward of 1 silver coin for Benny's capture.

The fields were full of serfs talking loudly about this matter, and Benny could hear it clearly when he was hiding in the dense forest. Not only did the serfs talk about it, but they also looked around carefully when walking to see if they could get lucky and turn Benny over.

Ni found it so that he can exchange for reward money.

Seeing this scene, Benny became panicked, and now he just wanted to escape from Gervais' territory as quickly as possible.

Although the distance between him and the seaside is only a few hundred meters now, he cannot cross the road in front of him because there are an endless stream of serfs passing by on the road, which makes Benny dare not move for fear of being discovered and arrested.

He used to be the captain of the guard, and these serfs saw him like a mouse seeing a cat. But now he is a wanted criminal, like a mouse crossing the street, and he has lost his long sword. As long as one or two serfs find him, they will definitely kill him.

He caught it.

After waiting unknowingly for more than half an hour, Benny felt that his hope had come, because the number of passing serfs began to decrease, and only an old serf was left behind slowly passing by with a hoe. There were no other passers-by behind the old serf.

"Hurry up, you lowly serf." Seeing the old serf walking slowly, Benny kept cursing in his heart.

Just when Benny was cursing, the old serf suddenly quickened his pace as if he heard Benny's curse.

The old serf took three steps at a time and ran to the edge of the grass where Lanny was hiding.

This move of the old serf immediately made Benny's heart beat faster, his head rattled, and the curses in his mouth stopped abruptly.

"Did he find me? Do you want to stand up now and kill this old bitch first? No, those passers-by in front haven't gone far yet. They can hear me if they make a little noise."

Benny was having a fierce struggle in his heart. He wasn't sure if the serf had noticed him, but he didn't dare to stand up and strike first because the passers-by in front of him were only a few dozen meters away. As long as the old man made a little noise, he would be gone.

Let them hear it.

Just when Benny was in a dilemma, the old serf had already arrived in front of Benny. However, the old serf did not observe the situation in the grass. Instead, he looked left and right on the road, then put the hoe behind him and began to unbutton his linen shorts.

waistband.

"Huh~ It feels so comfortable. I drank too much water at noon and I almost couldn't hold it in!" The old serf put the water down and muttered.

"****" Benny was about to cry. Ever since he became a guard, when had he been tortured like this? Although the old man didn't notice him, the problem was that the old serf poured all the water on his head, and then it flowed from his head.

onto the face.

Benny gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. The backs of his hands were covered with bulging veins and his nails were dug into his flesh. Benny felt that he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Even if it means death, I will kill you bitch!" Benny screamed in his heart.

"You..." Just when Benny couldn't stand it any longer, he raised his head and was about to get up, trying to fight the old serf who had tickled his face. The old serf finally finished draining the water and shook his body.

He leaned over and picked up the hoe on the side of the road, and then walked forward with a comfortable look on his face.

"Huh?" The old serf who had only taken two steps felt like he heard something. He couldn't help but look around in confusion. After looking for a long time, he found nothing. Then he scratched his head and left without looking back.

"When people get old, their ears no longer work..."

Looking at the old serf's leaving back, Benny's crimson eyes were filled with tears, and he kept shouting in his heart: "You bastards, just wait, I will kill you all one day."

Then, after making sure that no one was on the road, Benny quickly crossed the road and ran towards the sampan on the beach.

…

After telling Ike to rest assured and recuperate, Gervais returned to the restaurant on the first floor.

After lunch, Gervais rode his horse to Coastal Town under the protection of the butler Thomas and three guards.

The town square is very lively at the moment. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a sea of ​​people.

There are still people in twos and threes on the road in the distance, rushing here.

"I'm afraid most of the territory's population has come here." Looking at the dense crowd in front of him, Gervais couldn't help but sigh.

"Sir, this afternoon is the time for the castle to select male and female servants. Anyone who meets the requirements will definitely come." Thomas and the others did not ride horses, but followed Gervais on foot. Seeing Gervais sigh, they immediately

He answered.

"Haha, you are still smart and know to let the news get out first." After hearing Thomas' words, Gervais couldn't help but laugh.

"Sir, there is nothing we can do about it. When I came to the town yesterday, I found that there were not many people in the town. Most of the young and nimble people went to farm in the fields." Thomas heard Gervais's joke and immediately showed his reaction.

Bitter melon face.
