There were no cheers or shouts, but the crowd fell into silence when faced with the outcome of the battle.
After a while.
The knight in shining armor stepped forward and said: "Sir..."
Campbell seemed to have just come back to his senses. He first waved to the knight in shining armor, and then glanced at Heath uncertainly.
At this moment, his face was as dark as water, his brows were knitted tightly together, his fists were tightly fisted, and he was clenching his teeth as if he was burning with anger.
The surrounding soldiers also subconsciously raised their cross swords and drew their long bows. The atmosphere at the scene did not cool down at all because of the end of the duel. On the contrary, it became more and more intense, as if a storm was about to come.
Heath frowned.
I let him go because I admire his temperament. If he really doesn't know what's good and what's good, then...
If Heath can let him go, he can kill him!
Fortunately, Campbell didn't do anything outrageous in the end. After a moment of stalemate, he finally...
"I was the one who failed."
The words were almost squeezed out from between the teeth.
After a pause, he added with great dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction: "It was magic that defeated me, not swordsmanship."
Heath nodded and admitted generously: "Yes, in terms of swordsmanship alone, there is still a big gap between me and you. If you don't use magic, you will be victorious today."
Campbell's expression finally softened a little.
He continued: "You win, I will fulfill my promise, you can take that girl away."
The soldiers surrounding here put away their weapons.
Campbell continued: "As for my head..."
He shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't give this to you, because strictly speaking, this is no longer my personal belongings."
Heath shrugged.
After a pause, Campbell said: "As an alternative, you can make a reasonable request to me, and I will try my best to satisfy you."
Require?
Heath thought for a moment and said, "Take care of your soldiers!"
If nothing else happens, I'm afraid he will still have to live in this area. If the living environment is full of killing, rape, and destruction every day... He will fall asleep with crying and wailing every day... He is afraid that such a life will not last for a moment.
Can't stay any longer.
Campbell was startled.
Immediately, he nodded and said cheerfully: "Okay, I promise you!"
"Bess!"
The knight in shining armor walked into the soldiers, and soon he came out with three tightly tied soldiers. Heath recognized at a glance that these were the soldiers who had just tried to do evil to Nicole, but
At this time, their faces had long lost the previous excitement, and some were just scared and nervous, trembling, their faces were pale, and they kept begging for mercy.
"Qiang!" The loud sound of the sword sounded again.
Without any nonsense, Campbell pulled out his cross sword and swung it forward, causing all three bloody heads to roll to the ground.
He raised his sword and shouted angrily: "I say it again, this is the foundation of my Grafton family, and the resting place of the heroes of all generations. If anyone wants to do anything wrong to me here, it doesn't matter who he is or how many achievements he has made."
Merit..."
His voice was thunderous: "This is the end!"
Later, Heath learned that Campbell had actually issued an order to restrain the soldiers before entering the city. Those soldiers who were so lustful and stupid before could only be said to be an accident. Even if there was no request from Heath, he would definitely not do so afterwards.
These wanton soldiers will be spared.
Anyone who wants to compete for the position still has some basic political wisdom. No matter how much affection he has for Gray Castle, this is the spiritual totem of Gray Woodland after all. How can he let the soldiers do whatever they want...
...
It's night, Castle Gray.
"It was all a misunderstanding before. I hope you don't mind, Mr. Wizard..."
"The Baron is busy with official duties, so he specially arranged for me to entertain the wizard. If you need anything, just ask me directly..."
"I hope you enjoy your life here..."
Probably because of the previous unpleasantness, Campbell did not have a formal meeting with him like the previous two dukes, but only arranged for a butler to receive him.
How should I put it... It's inevitable. After all, we just had a fight, and it's really difficult to greet him with a smile now. That person's personality doesn't seem to be the type that can tolerate all kinds of things and turn them into a breeze.
.
However, the other party specially arranged for the housekeeper to ease the relationship with the servant, which was really a bit clever. Heath couldn't figure out what it meant for a while.
In fact, Heath had considered moving out of Gray Castle before. After all, it would be uncomfortable to live in it after having a conflict with the ruler here. But now that people have stepped up the stairs, it would be a bit awkward for him to insist on his own way.
Isn't it appropriate?
"Then, if there's nothing else, I'll excuse you, Lord Wizard."
"Um."
After saying goodbye to the housekeeper Crewe, Heath turned around and went back to the bedroom. After a long day of traveling and having a fight with someone at the end, Heath was really tired. He couldn't even attend to the reading he had originally planned. Now he just wanted to have a good time.
Get some sleep.
However, as soon as I took off my shoes and socks and before I could lie down on the bed, there was a light knock on the door.
"Dong dong dong!"
Could it be that there is something else going on with Crewe?
With such doubts in his mind, Heath suppressed his fatigue, got up, walked out and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, it was not Crewe who appeared outside the door, but a little girl wearing a gray cloth skirt. She was holding a bowl of steaming milk in one hand and a stick of burning suet in the other.
Candle.
Under the dancing firelight, Heath recognized the girl's identity. It was Nicole who he had picked up from the woods and whose life he had saved before.
Nicole timidly said: "Sir... Sir, I'm here to deliver milk to you."
As mentioned before, Campbell hired several servants for the other house, and this Nicole was one of them.
Heath yawned and pointed to the table next to him: "Put it there."
Nicole walked into the house, closed the door, and carefully put the milk on the table.
But after putting down the milk, she did not leave. Instead, she stood blankly by the table and stared at the candlelight, as if she was thinking about something.
Although it was not a big deal to let people stay for a while, Heath was really sleepy, so he jokingly said: "What? Are you planning to stay in my room tonight? That's great, I happen to be short of one here."
A warm bed."
As the world knows, this was really just a casual joke, and Heath didn't have the slightest malice at all.
However, Nicole's body suddenly trembled as if she was electrocuted. Then she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind, and then completely beyond Heath's expectation, she took off her clothes after a few 'shushuashu's'.
I lost my maid skirt.
She was actually wearing nothing under her maid skirt, and before Heath could react, she stripped herself naked.
Just standing naked in front of Heath.
Her cheeks were red and she looked extremely nervous, like a frightened little lamb: "But...but according to the adult's orders..."
