701. The truth

 At night, the moonlight is like snow.

A dim patch of light was left on the floor through the glass window.

Selena was sitting on the big bed wearing a gauze nightgown, combing her long hair that was still slightly damp. There were no lights in the room, and through the moonlight outside the window, her graceful body was clearly outlined under the nightgown.

Suldak opened the door and walked in, wiped the water drops on his body with a bath towel, walked to Selena's side, held her fair chin with his hand, slightly raised her beautiful face, leaned over and pecked her soft

The lips, the tip of the tongue pry open the snow-white teeth...



Signa was lying on the soft leather sofa in the study room, covering her head with a blanket. She hid under the blanket. The unfamiliar environment made it impossible for her to fall asleep. She originally wanted to snuggle in Selena's arms and be comfortable.

I got some sleep, but now I can only lie on some sofas and count sheep, one, two, three...

The bed in the next room made a creaking sound, which made her even more sleepy. At this moment, she even wondered whether the girl named Nika in the servants' room was sleeping soundly now.

She stepped on the floor with her bare feet and was about to walk to the square table in the study room to pour herself a glass of water.

‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

The knocking at night was particularly clear. She was sure that someone was standing outside the door. She put down the water glass in her hand, walked out of the study with bare feet, walked through the living room and the hallway, opened the door and looked outside.

Weiru stood at the door with a tired look on his face, his body smelled faintly of tree sap, he was carrying a long bow, and there seemed to be someone following behind him.

Under the moonlight, Xigna couldn't see clearly, as if she was holding a child in her arms.

Weiru asked Xigna in a low voice: "Where is Dark?"

Seeing the little girl wearing thin pajamas and standing barefoot at the door, Vilu noticed that it was already past midnight. He looked inside the house and saw that the living room was dark.

Just when Xigna was about to speak, Suldak's voice came from behind her: "Viru, what happened?"

The sound was followed by footsteps. In a hurry, Suldak only put on a linen round-neck shirt and a pair of boxer shorts. His two strong thighs were covered with hideous burn scars.

Although the scar has recovered somewhat, it still makes people feel very scary when looking at it coldly.

Weiru's eyes fell on Surdak's legs, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to condense the surrounding air into ice.

Xigna felt as if she was in an ice cellar at this moment. She shivered suddenly, and was picked up by Suldak with a big hand and blocked behind her.

The man standing behind Weiru said "Ouch" and fell on the wooden steps outside the small building. The child in his arms also fell to the ground.

Weiru woke up instantly and quickly took back the aura of a second-level powerhouse exuding from his body. Xigna suddenly felt that the coldness around her body dissipated instantly...

He stared at Suldak, his eyes paused on his face for three seconds, then took half a step to the left, pointed with a sullen face at the unconscious child who fell on the wooden steps outside the house and said: "This child is

They had a high fever and there was nothing they could do, so I thought you might be able to help, so I brought them here."

Suldak nodded, indicating that he understood.

He walked to the child, and the man behind Viru got up from the ground in a panic and held the child in his arms again.

Only then did Surdak see the man's face clearly through the moonlight. It was a very distinctive face. The dark brown skin and wide cheekbones constituted the most obvious facial features of the natives of the White Forest plane.

He was wearing simple leather armor, barefoot, and holding an indigenous child in his arms.

The person Weiru brought back turned out to be a local aborigine. Surdak didn't care how they met and walked up to the child.

I reached out and touched his forehead. It felt a little hot and his face turned red, but there was no sweat on his forehead.

Suldak pulled the child's collar open and stretched his hand to his chest. His heartbeat seemed rapid and weak, and even his breathing was very light, with some wheezing.

Suldak asked the native to lay the child flat on the platform at the door, kneel on the ground with one knee, and condensed a ball of light with his hands, and the weak light continued to spread outward.

At this time, Selena walked out of the house in her nightgown. Suldak didn't even look back, and ordered Selena:

"Go and get him a glass of water. He needs to drink some warm water. When we get back, we should also give him some more water."

His last sentence was to the aborigine.

He didn't speak loudly, but in the quiet night, everyone could hear him clearly.

After saying that, the light ball in his hand fell on the child. This was Surdak's Holy Light Technique, which used holy breath to forcibly heal the opponent's body.

The holy light gradually poured into the child's body, and the rapid breathing immediately became calmer, and the strange sickly red tide on his face began to fade little by little. Surdak raised his head and said to the aborigine: "Maybe

It's a cold, I just made his body stronger, whether he can get better gradually depends on whether he is strong enough."

Seeing that the child's condition was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, the aborigine still didn't know that it was Surdak's contribution. He cast a grateful look at Surdak and knelt in front of Surdak.

He put his forehead on Surdak's instep and thanked Surdak.

He turned around and thanked Viru again. Viru held him up with one hand and said, "It's not me who saved the child, so you don't have to thank me! Now, you can go back with your child."

The aborigine bent down to pick up the child on the ground, but then he stopped again, turned around and took out a silver-leaf grass that exuded a magical aura from the wicker basket behind him, placed it respectfully on the ground, and then hugged it.

Pick up the child and turn around to leave.

Silver-leaf grass is a low-level magic herb. In today's era when magic herbs are scarce, a silver-leaf grass can be sold for at least two or three high-level gold coins. Moreover, it is still expensive in the market, even if many people hold it in their hands.

If you want to buy gold coins at a high price, most of the time you won't be able to buy them.

Surdak saved the child, and the aboriginal people actually took out a magic herb as a thank you, which surprised Surdak.

"Wait a minute, this herb is a bit expensive."

Surdak called the aboriginal from behind, picked up the magic herbs from the ground, and walked to him. He saw that the leather armor he was wearing was extremely ordinary, and his face was also full of weather and wrinkles.

He had almost nothing of value, and his daily life was very difficult, so this herb was even more important to this aboriginal family.

"My Holy Light Technique is not worth such a magical herb..."

Surdak gave the silver-leaf grass to the aboriginal, but the aboriginal refused to take it at all. He just said awkwardly: "This magic grass is dedicated to you, sir."

"I know...well, in that case, wait, you must get equivalent services for the remuneration you pay!"

Surdak said to the aboriginal man.

As he spoke, he took out a wind wolf head from his magic pocket and said to the aborigines: "Give him to me..."

Taking the child from the aboriginal, Suldak held the child with one hand and the wind wave head with the other. He turned and walked back to the small building, closing the door behind him, leaving both Vilu and the aboriginal outside.

Not long after, Suldak walked out of the small building with his child in his arms.

At this time, although the child was still drowsy, his complexion was rosy and he no longer seemed sick.

Surdak handed the child to the aboriginal man, and then said: "Okay, if there is no problem, he will wake up tomorrow morning, and his illness will get better soon. Don't worry..."

The aboriginal man held the child in his arms, bowed to Surdak again and again, and then walked out of the military camp quickly.

After curing the boy, Weiru did not leave in a hurry, but sat on the steps at the door of the small building and remained silent.

Surdak also sat down next to Viru and said to Selena: "Go and see what food is left in the kitchen and prepare some to send over!"

Selina nodded and took Xigna to the kitchen.

"The Jonbach you are looking for is really gone. Look, he only left such an ugly body." Surdak opened two buttons of his shirt, revealing the burn scars on his chest, and told Vilu

said.

"I know! Jonbach would not help a native of the plane like this. He is a proud noble to the core. He always believes that people from the empire should be superior to others. Your style of doing things has completely changed." Vilu stared at him with a stern expression.

By Suldak.

"Are you deliberately targeting the person who saved your life and gave you a new life? Not only do you imitate his words and deeds, but also his code of conduct? You want to live like him and let his will continue

Continue? Is this the rest of your life?"

His cold eyes were full of anger.

Surdak leaned on the railing of the small building and said to Viru: "I have never thought about living in anyone's way. Maybe this kind of life is what I want now. I just take care of his family by the way.

Weilu, wake up, I am no longer the same Jambach as before."

Velu closed his eyes and calmed himself down.

"Well, I shouldn't have brought up this terrible subject."

He looked at Suldak, took a deep breath, and calmed down, and then said: "Let me talk about what happened in the forest north of the town today. The aborigine who just left

I met him in the northern forest outside the town. He is an aborigine of the town and an herb gatherer."

Later, Weiru told the story of meeting the herbal collector.

"After leaving the city, I walked into the forest to look for clues. The forest in the north of the town was full of searchers searching for the bandits. The mayor was leading a group of men in the woods, but it looked more like they were in the woods.

To show off, some members of the hunting team even hid in remote places to hunt small forest beasts and ate barbecue in tree holes." Weiru said.

"It seems that there are two groups of people in their search team. Only one group of people who have no say in the matter wants to hunt down the bandit group. They even think that the bandit group is hidden in the local indigenous tribes and that the bandit group is the United Nations.

Only by recruiting the indigenous tribes could we easily loot the adventuring group, but the mayor didn't listen to this at all, he just wasted his time and planned to deal with this matter."

"As far as I know, this incident is most likely an adventure group composed of exiled criminals under the mayor, who united with the local indigenous tribes and robbed a group of slave traders who were backed by a business group," Surdak said.

When Weiru heard what Surdak would say, he waved his hand to indicate that what he said was wrong.

"In fact, that group of bandits had no connection with the local indigenous tribes at all. When I was tracing the past, I accidentally saw a group of bandits at the foot of a mountain through the eagle eye's earth vision. They were indeed made up of

An adventure group formed by a group of wanted criminals, but they did not cooperate with the local indigenous tribes. They hid the loot in a cave. When I found them, they seemed to be planning to bypass the northern city wall on the pass.

, and left Duodan Town, entered the hinterland of the empire-occupied area, and hid in another remote town."

Velu said.

"At that time, I also found the aborigine who was collecting medicine. He was hiding in a big tree, wrapped in vines, and watching those people."

Surdak frowned and said, "If they want to leave Dodan Town in a detour, it seems they can't take those slaves away."

Weiru clenched his fists and said with a 'hum': "Yes, when I rushed there, the wanted criminals had already executed a group of slaves outside the cave."

"And I discovered that a few of those people were actually wanted criminals in Wilkes City." As he said that, Vilu took out a stack of parchment from his arms, which contained some portraits and information.

He dug out a few pieces of parchment from the pile of wanted posters and showed them to Suldak.

"Why do you have these things?" Surdak looked at Viru in surprise.

Viru said matter-of-factly: "Of course I received it from the Adventurer's Guild in Wilkes City. For a senior demon hunter like me, whenever he goes to a strange place, the first place he sets foot on must be the Adventurer's Guild.

The purpose of obtaining the information on those prey was to facilitate hunting, and the bounties on these wanted criminals were pretty good... so I solved them easily."

After saying that, he pulled out a large box from his magic belt bag. The whole box was stained with sticky blood and filled with a strong smell of blood.

"But the team that these exiled wanted criminals robbed was not a regular adventure team. As you said... it was a slave-catching team. The aboriginal herb collector wanted to turn those people into slaves.

He wanted to rescue some of the natives, but he was only one person. He originally wanted to secretly release some of them at night, but before nightfall, he saw the exiled wanted criminals executing the slaves." Weiru said.

Suldak continued: "So you just do him a favor and not only deal with all the wanted criminals, but also free the living slaves?"

Weiru nodded and admitted, and said: "I released the rescued slaves on the spot, nailed all the members of the adventure group to the tree, and found a few heads that could be sold at a high price according to the wanted poster portraits and brought them back...
