"...Now, do you understand? It's a long way home." Owen said.

"Even so, I have to go back." Elle Renee said stubbornly, "As long as I know the direction, I will definitely be able to return to Venola Forest. I will set off on my own tomorrow."

The Forest of Venora generally refers to the Council of Venora, because almost all the elves live in that forest.

Elle Renee knew that she was very lucky to be rescued, and she did not expect the other party to continue to provide help without getting any benefits.

"Are you going back alone?"

Owen shook his head, not optimistic at all and said: "Once your identity is exposed on the way back, you will definitely be caught and sold by other humans."

The other party is right, but Elle Renee will not change her mind easily.

"I will protect myself, I won't bother you."

"If you could really protect yourself, you wouldn't be sold here, right?"

Owen's words mercilessly poked at Elle Renee's pain point, and also slightly angered her.

"Then what do you want from me?"

"I hope you can follow our army back to Border Guard Town and stay there for a while."

Hearing this, Elle Renee suddenly became alert and questioned: "Why should I go to Border Guard Town with you? Do you want to lock me up too?"

"I won't do that. If you want to go home, I won't force you to stay."

Irving explained this: "The reason for letting you stay in Border Guard Town for a period of time is to wait for the Templar Knights who will come to support this winter. After passing the winter crisis, you will first follow the Templar Knights to the Holy Kingdom of Caleb, and then

The church will send you home again."

After a pause, he added: "Bianzhu Town is a town within my territory. There are also lizardmen in the town. The people in my territory are highly accepting of the demi-human race. You can rest assured. And the church is also a trustworthy object.

, racial equality is their concept, and they will definitely send you back to Venola Forest safely."

This is the safest way that Owen can think of. Compared to sending people to escort Elle Renee back, the powerful church can obviously do better.

"you……"

Ellie Renee looked at Owen in disbelief and asked, "Why do you want to help me? What good does this do to you?"

"Why do I have to do something good to help you? Can't I just want to help you out of good intentions?" Owen asked in return.

"Aren't all of you humans..."

"Aren't they all cunning and selfish?" Owen said what she wanted to say.

Ellie Renee nodded.

How should I put it? Humans have indeed done a lot of "good things" to the demi-human race in the past, which resulted in their generally poor evaluation of humans.

"There are such people among human beings. I don't deny it, but you can't generalize and think that all human beings are like this. We are just like you, there are good people and bad people."

"..."

Ellie Renee fell into silence, what the other party said made sense.

It's just that after being captured by humans, she traveled to many places, experienced various things, and saw too many dark sides of humans. It was a bit difficult to believe in humans all of a sudden.

Seeing this situation, Mapel stood up and said: "Ellie Renee, please believe Mr. Owen, he will be able to send you home safely."

After some thinking, Ellie Renee finally agreed.

"Okay, I'll go to that border town with you."

"This is best. However, you still have to live in the castle for a few days. I just took over Dongsheng Fortress and there are many things that need to be dealt with."

After saying that, Owen turned around and prepared to leave the room, when Mapel saw this and followed him closely.

"Um, wait!" Elle Renee quickly called Owen.

Owen stopped, turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"I'm deeply sorry for my bad attitude towards you just now. And..." Ellie Renee bowed, "Thank you."

"Rather than thanking me, you should thank Marpel." Owen said, "She very much hopes that you can go home safely. For this reason, I came here to talk to you."

Turning her eyes to Mapel, Elle Renee bowed again.

"Thank you very much, Mapel."

"I just learned about your situation and wanted to help you." Mapel responded modestly.

Next, Mapel went to inform other imprisoned human women, telling them that they could follow the army to Border Guard Town and start a new life.

After hearing the news, they all shed tears of gratitude and expressed their gratitude to Mapel one after another.

When Owen learned that Duke Eddie had just woken up, he immediately ordered the soldiers to bring him over. It was time for trial.

Yukina and Fanny were also called over, the former to identify lies, and the latter to see what punishment Duke Eddie would be sentenced to in the end.

During the interrogation, Owen focused on asking about things related to Fanny’s friend, Priest Enri.

It turned out that at the end of autumn last year, Enri was trying to convey news about Border Town to Bray.

This move angered Duke Eddie, and then he sent people to secretly kidnap Enri and found a group of people to gang-rape her in the dungeon, in order to destroy Enri mentally.

In other words, Enri was driven crazy because she offended Duke Eddie about the incident in Border Guard Town.

Owen was very angry about this.

While listening to Duke Eddie's confession, Fanny almost wanted to rush up and use magic to burn him to death.

Fortunately, this did not happen, and Fanny suppressed the anger in her heart.

Owen then interrogated Duke Eddie for other crimes.

After the trial, Irving stood up to announce the verdict, and sentenced Duke Eddie to be beheaded, which was to be executed in public in the square two days later.

Knowing that he was certain to die, Duke Eddie was so frightened that he fainted again.

With no other choice, Owen had no choice but to order a few soldiers to drag the condemned prisoner back to the dungeon.

Watching Duke Eddie being dragged away, Owen walked down and said to Fanny: "Duke Eddie has received the punishment he deserves. Now, you should be relieved of your hatred, right?"

"Thank you, Lord, for seeking justice for my friend Anli." Fanny said gratefully.

"correct."

Owen remembered that the other imprisoned women had been properly arranged, but Enri had not, so he asked: "Fanny, how do you plan to arrange for your friend?"

After thinking for a while, Fanny replied: "Lord, can I take Enli back to Border Guard Town? I received a lot of help from her when I was at Dongsheng Fortress, and now it's my turn to repay her."

"There's no problem with me," Owen said, "However, your friend is a clergy member of the church. Do you have to go to the church and ask the archbishop first?"

"That's right." Fanny suddenly said.

The church was not too far from the Lord's Castle, so Owen and Fanny went to the church.

With the help of Owen's identity, Fanny quickly met the archbishop.

Upon hearing the news about Enri, the Archbishop was surprised and very sad at the same time.

He said that Enri was very pious to the gods and was charitable and a good priest. Last year, she disappeared inexplicably for several months. Unexpectedly, she was kidnapped by Duke Eddie.

Regarding Fanny's request, the archbishop didn't take long to agree.
