"Don't pretend to be unconscious, I know you have woken up a long time ago."
Late at night, the captain of the guard stood expressionlessly in front of the girl, whose arms were tied behind her back and still looked unconscious, and repeated what he had just said.
Shi Junjun, who was so panicked that she was still trying to pretend to be faint, had already given her away by her gently fluttering eyelashes.
"The great magician who can kill Gangboharu is actually so cowardly." He sneered, "I'll count to three. If you don't open your eyes, the sword in my hand will never be used again."
Wait, one, two——"
"Okay, okay, if you find out, I'll kill you or cut you into pieces. It's up to you."
The girl who sat up suddenly stretched out her white jade-like neck and leaned towards the guard captain. She looked completely fearless, and her palms were already soaked with sweat.
Although she couldn't understand the language of this human from another world, she could tell from his tone that if she continued to pretend to be faint, he might actually give her a sword.
"You don't understand me?" The captain of the guard changed the common official language of the kingdom into the local dialect of South Risieforth. "Do you understand what I say?"
When he saw Shi Junjun, he still had a headache with the guard staring at him with wide eyes.
He tried hard to recall the meaning of Viscount Robinette's words when he usually spoke that language, and slowly asked again in an extremely jerky tone.
After hearing this, Shi Junjun couldn't help but want to cover his face and secretly cursed, "Brother, if you can't speak Chinese, you don't have to speak..."
A sentence made up of a dozen unrelated words sounds really awkward.
Reinhardt, the guard captain who noticed the girl's strange expression, thought that the other party understood what he said, but he was surprised and troubled at the same time.
Because his limited understanding of this aristocratic language comes from Viscount Robinette's occasional demonstrations in daily life, it is absolutely impossible to use it flexibly in conversations with others.
So the two people's attempts to communicate were back to the starting point.
While the guard captain Reinhardt was thinking hard about how to communicate, Shi Junjun, who was thinking fast, took action first.
She half-crouched, turned her back, and stretched her arms, which were tied behind her back, toward the guard captain's sword. The meaning was obvious.
Since you came here with a sword in the middle of the night and didn't intend to kill anyone, then you just let him go...
Caught off guard by this completely unexpected action, the guard captain took a step back while holding the hilt of his sword.
Seeing the girl's questioning look, the guard captain pointed to the ground, then to Shi Junjun's hands that were tied behind his back, and slowly shook his head.
What do you mean? You can't let yourself go here? The girl who saw these two gestures couldn't react for a moment.
Immediately, she glanced at the rest of the people who were resting a few steps away. The person who came to look for her seemed to be the leader among them. His voice before speaking was not too soft. If she heard the leader and the leader from this distance,
If she, the prisoner, doesn't respond to the conversation...
The deflection of her gaze did not escape the eyes of the guard captain Reinhardt. After clearly seeing the thoughtful expression of the girl who was staying with the goblins, he silently placed a ring embroidered with the Robinette family crest.
The delicate bupa unfolded in front of her.
Shi Junjun, who has a good memory, slowly remembered that the pervert noble from another world had also taken out an identical handkerchief in front of her.
The person in front of me... was standing next to me that day!
"I'm glad you still remember me." Guard Captain Reinhardt, who was satisfied with Shi Junjun's reaction, said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, those people have added special condiments to their dinner. They will never be able to eat it before dawn tomorrow.
Wake up and eavesdrop on our current conversation...I'm sorry to forget you don't understand my language."
Immediately, the guard captain made another gesture, letting her roughly understand what he had said before.
Naturally, the girl was very wary of this human being from another world who could knock her companions unconscious and then say something to her.
And what this person did next was far beyond her imagination of this person's intentions.
On the handkerchief, he used charcoal to outline a person's head, and Shi Junjun easily recognized it as the perverted nobleman from another world.
Then the man threw the handkerchief into the air, pulled out the sword from his waist... and cut the handkerchief with a portrait on it into two pieces in the air.
Is he going to... kill that noble from another world?
But isn't he that person's subordinate?
It turns out that people from other worlds also play the same trick as the enemy in Honnoji Temple...
Looking at Shi Junjun's confused eyes, Guard Captain Reinhardt looked bitter and did not explain much.
He has served Viscount Robinette for ten years, and the latter's recent behavior finally forced him to make this difficult decision.
Before this forest was humiliated, although it was not easy to serve this nobleman, it was generally within the acceptable range.
Until that day, Viscount Robinette, who returned to the fiefdom after being humiliated by this human girl and those goblins, began to rapidly deteriorate in a bad direction. Before he took the order to go to this forest, in the castle of Lord Nanlisifus
, for some trivial reasons, the number of servants and attendants who were secretly executed after being tortured in various ways has exceeded twenty people.
And the one who killed those twenty people in the end...
It's him.
If you include those of his companions whose bones are still slowly rotting in this forest, in just over ten days, he has personally killed more than thirty innocent people.
Many of them are people I know well, and many are even friends who get along day and night...
They had begged themselves to spare their lives...
They curse themselves before they die, and sooner or later they will die by the swords of others...
The ghosts of these innocent people who died in vain would appear every time he closed his eyes, entangled in ragged clothes and blood, making him unable to sleep every night during this period.
There is a more important reason.
"Robinette..." the man said through gritted teeth, "He shouldn't threaten me with his family."
His daughter was only four years old. She had just arrived in South Rivers with her mother and had not had time to study in a school run by the church. His wife and her parents, who were about to move to South Rivers from a village near the royal capital,
Still completely ignorant of Viscount Robinette's insidious plan...
Shi Junjun looked at the man who was inexplicably angry and had roughly guessed the reason why this man came to find him.
Guard Captain Reinhardt was no longer willing to serve as Viscount Robinette's sword to kill innocent people. He wanted to kill the master he served, and then take his family away and fly away.
With his combat prowess being almost unmatched in South Lysieforth, it would have been quite easy to kill this helpless nobleman, but now a big surprise has blocked his action.
.
Viscount Robinette has a magician for personal protection.
Perhaps he had been aware of his dissatisfaction for a long time, or maybe he had become more vigilant after being humiliated. He stayed in the lord's castle all day without leaving the house and re-expanded the guard after the purge. After summoning the family, Viscount Robinette
The magician in brown robe was invited.
Wherever there are people, there are classes. This sentence also applies to the group of magicians in other worlds.
They use the color of the robes to divide the levels. Starting from the magic apprentice who wears light cyan robes, the status level is from low to high, wearing blue, brown, gray, black and white robes, representing the trainee magicians in turn.
, the levels of magician, great magician, magister, and holy magister.
You must know the remote geographical location of Sifus in the south. The only one with the highest magic level in the territory is a magician who has just put on the brown robe.
The one who came from the Conrad family has been wearing brown robes for twenty years, and it is said that he is expected to change into gray robes within ten years and officially become a great magician.
Since the first day he arrived in South Risieforth, this magician has been guarding Viscount Robinette from morning to night, staying close to him even when eating and sleeping.
If you want to get rid of that violent noble from another world, you must face the brown-robed magician directly.
Guard Captain Reinhardt didn't think he had any chance of winning in a one-on-one situation, but as long as the brown-robed magician held him back, he would be surrounded by the lord's guards in a few minutes.
That guard...has no friends left.
He knew that the brown-robed wizard from the Southern Rivers Forth Magicians Association branch would never participate in the assassination of the lord when conflicts occurred within the region.
In other words, he could not find any foreign aid in South Rivers.
Gamboharu can be considered a very powerful being in this forest, and the human girl in front of him can kill the thick-headed monster with pure magic.
This means that her strength may even be stronger than that of the brown-robed wizard from the Southern Rivers Magic Association branch.
With such a foreign aid to help hold back the brown-robed magician sent by the Conard family, even if the entire lord's guard stood in front of him, Reinhardt was confident that he could put Robinette to death.
There was another big reason why he didn't want to hand over this human girl to Viscount Robinette.
That day...she let them all go.
As long as she gets to a certain place and helps the person in front of her to hold off a guy who is also capable of magic and is very powerful for enough time, after he kills the pervert noble from another world, he will let herself and the survivors of the village go.
Goblins.
The girl who had secretly tried many times but still couldn't use magic to burn off the restraints on her hands raised her head and stared into the guard captain's eyes, but could not see any trace of deception or lies there.
She nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed with Guard Captain Reinhardt's proposal.
He said it like I had a choice, Shi Junjun complained silently in his heart.
