After hiding Istansha, Gio dug out a wooden box from another corner, and put his hands on the cellar table with some trembling hands.
His eyes stared at the box in a daze, and his face was filled with hesitation and fear.
Is this...that thing?Aqiya also looked at the wooden box on the table with a complicated expression and asked softly.
All the hatred and disgust and confusion have ended. When the person who once used despicable means to defile herself appeared in front of her in this form, Aqiya couldn't tell what she was now, and she felt that her heart was so chaotic that it was really hard to describe.
Well... I'm sorry, mom... Geo lowered his head and said quietly, knowing why his mother endured that huge humiliation.
But he has grown up and he cannot let his beloved mother bear all this.
Gio was indeed scared when he killed Paturi with his own hands, but he did not regret it.
The silly child... Is there anything worth apologizing for? He is worthy of death.Mom will always love you. No matter where we go in the future, Mom will always be with Xiao Geo... Aqiya let out a long sigh, held Geo's cheek with both hands, raised his head, and said to her son with a smile.
I love you too, mom... Geo choked and hugged Aqia hard, and his head was naturally buried in the soft and swollen peaks on his mother's chest.
Suddenly he found that his intimate action that had always been accustomed to between mother and son made him blush and even his breathing began to become a little rapid and hot.
At this moment, the naive Geo had not yet realized that he had already tasted the woman's taste. When facing Aqia, he was no longer simply dependence and family affection between mother and son. His thoughts and consciousness were unknowingly mixed with desires between men and women, and these taboo feelings would naturally trigger some instinctive reactions in the physical body of adolescents.
Humph, I still like to act coquettishly in my mother's arms when I'm so old, and I'm not afraid of others' jokes... Okay~ Go and prepare what Sister Isa said in advance, and make sure that it's foolproof. In addition, practice those skills again. Be sure to protect yourself when it's dark.Aqiya, who had seen her son performing wonderfully on Istanza before, was also softened by Gio's powerful and enthusiastic hug. The young mother with a fever on her face quickly patted her son's head and gave a soft command.
She didn't notice her coquettish tone, which was very different from when she scolded and educated Gio in the past.
OK, mom... Although he was extremely nostalgic to the current stimulating feeling, Gio could instinctively feel that this physical and mental throbbing was a little wrong. He turned around and left the cellar uneasy, leaving only Aqiya, who had similar embarrassing feelings to him, secretly calmed down the charming thoughts in his heart.
In contrast to the uneasiness of Aqiya and Gio, the elite Linfeng Town, led by Captain Kato, the beginner warrior Shulko, and the intermediate electric wizard Bolognis, who gathered in the lord's mansion, were full of confidence in the rescue operation.
The second commander of the Knights of Storm in Cape City, the Knight Commander Lombub, is far superior to others because of his own strength, and he is even more arrogant. He seems to blame Kato for making a big deal in his words, saying that it is not worth dealing with several thieves. Lord Lombub himself is not worthy of his personal attack.
It was not until he saw the bauble Lena who was crying and she changed her attitude instantly. He immediately showed great care to the sexy, graceful and charming Baroness, and promised to beat her chest and stamp her feet that he would kill the robbers with his own hands and bring the Baron back safely.
So, Kato, who is familiar with the terrain, assigned tasks and arranged routes. The Linfeng Town Guard and the Storm Knights divided into 4 groups and set out immediately. After blocking all the accesses to and from the rocky wasteland from different directions, they then scattered like a big net to surround the limited area of the black pine wood forest mentioned in the extortion letter, and searched inward.
This extremely aggressive preemptive strategy is actually considered to ensure the personal safety of the Baron, because generally according to the unwritten rules of the Sakya Ranka continent, as long as the rescuers successfully surround the hostages, the bandits will choose to release the hostages in exchange for their own safe departure after confirming that they cannot escape, and most rescuers will follow this rule.
But the situation is different this time. The powerful Knight Lombabwe is in charge. The rescuer has the ability to quickly catch up with the robbers after saving the Baron and easily kill them.
In order to please the beautiful bachelorette I just met, Knight Lombabwe, who was exquisitely shaped, and had a tall and thin figure, had decided to use the heads of those robbers to exchange for the beauty to show off her face.
Captain Kato!Are you sure there is no problem with the route?Why did I search the entire woods and no signs of the robbers or Baron Paturi??The roar of the Knight Lombabwe scared the birds in the woods and flew high.
Just now, he met Captain Kato, Shulco and Bolognis in the center of the pine forest. He searched all the way and found no one. Seeing the setting sun, the ransom time required in the letter was about to pass.
How is that possible!?I have been to this wasteland countless times. Our people have blocked all paths. If the robbers are here, they will not have a chance to escape... Captain Kato explained with an ugly face.
Report to Lord Lombabbe, we found something in a big black pine tree.A storm knight rushed over to report to the master knight.
The four people hurriedly followed the knights who reported the news to the black pine tree. They saw that the trunk of the towering tree was cut off by a sharp blade, and a line of creepy words were carved in the smooth position of the exposed trees;
Very good, you didn't keep the agreement, but the Baron Paturi of Pity is now watching you in hell.
Damn it!What else can I find besides this!?Captain Kato asked in shock and anger.
There seemed to be some hidden traces on the ground.A soldier from Linfeng Town Guard who was familiar with the terrain next to him said carefully.
He found some bushes around him were damaged and there were subtle footprints on the ground.
After seeing these traces, Kato, Lumbab, Shulko and others came to a conclusion: that is, the cunning robbers seemed to notice something was wrong and took the baron away from here one step ahead of time.
In a hurry to escape, they did not dare to walk on the forest road, so in order to cover up the escape route, they chose to forcibly pass through the bushes without roads.
Although all this was hidden, the damaged shrubs and moss still exposed the direction of their escape.
So, Lombab, Kato and others led a large group of people to pursue these traces and chase them all the way.
In the end, they stopped by a small river hidden in a depression in the rocky wasteland.
There, they found the body of Baron Paturi who had lost his head and left hand. The lord's broken body was discarded in the cold sand by the river. The robbers who were eager to leave had only covered some gravel on it.
It is precisely because of this that the rescuers easily found the bodies of the hostages torn.
These cruel villains!Killing is not enough, why do you still take the Lord's head away... Shulko said with a frown.
not good!The guys cut off and took Lord Paturi's head away to fulfill the promise in the blackmail letter!Everyone will return to the lord's house immediately!Captain Kato immediately reacted and shouted with a pale face.
The person who had read the letter suddenly realized at this moment, and his face also became extremely ugly...
When the large group of troops rescued the lord returned to the lord's house as fast as possible, Linfeng Town had already been shrouded in the darkness of the autumn night.
The open space in front of the door of the Baron Paturi's mansion was illuminated by torches like daytime. Ruth, the baron's daughter, who was shivering in her mother's arms, Ulanka, the son of the baron who had just recovered from a serious illness, was supported by the servants, the miserable and sobbing baron Lena, the servants in the Baron's manor and all the onlookers, looked at a black pine stick standing at the gate of the Baron's house in fear.
The sharpened wooden stick was wearing a human head at the top. Because the wooden stick penetrated from the back of its head, the facial features of the head were clearly visible. This was the head of Baron Paturi, the lord of Linfeng Town. The expression with a strange smile on the baron's face was still lifelike.
It was a man in black... I swear to the Seven Gods. I had never seen such a terrifying speed before, and I didn't make a sound when I walked. The guy inserted the wooden stick here and ran away. I only saw a flash of black shadows and the person disappeared...
Yes!I seem to see it too!It just disappeared in a blink of an eye. I thought I was confused...
Yes!I saw it just now!That was a guy with a low figure but a strong figure...
……
Seeing Captain Kato and his party return to the town, the onlookers recovered from the atmosphere of fear and depression just now.
Several of the witnesses described the terrifying man in black who entered the town at night and erected a wooden stick in the head of the Lord Pathurian at the door of the Lord's Mansion.
Judging from the description of the residents of the town, this is a guy with a low figure but an unusually stout stature.
Seeing all this, Aqiya, who was also hidden in the crowd of onlookers, had to admire Istansha's tricks at this time, and thought to herself: No wonder that woman asked that Gio not only to cover her face, but also to stuff so many strips of cloth into her clothes.In this way, even if someone sees what Gio does, he will not doubt him because of his completely different figures.What a cunning and vicious witch, she led all of Gio to be ruined by her... she had to find a way to drive her away...
Captain Cato, the Knights of Lombabwe, as well as Shulko and Bolognis, all of whom were ashamed to comfort the Baroness who had lost her husband. The Knights of Lombabwe even vowed to return to Cape City to ask the city lord Earn Earn to issue an imperial wanted order, and the murderers who killed the Baron must be brought to justice.
Yes, sorry... Captain Kato, about my son's health, can you please help me to invite the Bishop to Cape City... Aqiya, with tears in her eyes, walked up carefully and said softly to Captain Kato, who was frustrated and blamed himself.
The young mother reflected in the torch, her heart-wrenching expression was weak and beautiful. Even Captain Kato, who had an extremely bad heart, could not refuse her request.
It’s because of your damn son Paturi that he died!You selfish and hypocritical woman!He is so kind to you, and in the end he even accompanied his life for your lowly commoner son!You still have the face to find someone else to save your son!?Paturi is dead!Your son Gio will also be buried with you!No matter what it is!He was guilty of a crime if he injured Ulanka!Paturi is dead, now my son Ulanka.Gas will inherit his father's title, and he is the new lord of Linfeng Town!Ulanka!I want you to exile Aqiya and his son Gio as the Lord forever, so that she (they) will leave Linfeng Town immediately!Mrs. Lena, whose eyes were red, suddenly rushed over, pushed Aqiya to the ground, screaming.
Mom... It's not good to do this... the robbers are in the wild. If Ms. Aqiya and Gio leave now, what if they encounter those demons... Although Ulanka is a playboy, he is still young and still has a conscience and pity.
Besides, Aqiya's sad and helpless look really made him unable to make up. Ulanka's previous words that humiliated Gio actually reflected his thoughts.
By chance, Ulanka discovered the romantic affairs between his father and the beautiful mother of Gio. Like Gio, he secretly saw everything and developed a desire for Aqiya who was kind enough to be happy under Paturi.
But he didn't dare to compete with his father for a woman, and in the end he had to vent the evil fire that was suppressed in his heart on Gio.
snort!Did you hear it?What a kind lord, since that's the case, I'll give you 3 days. In 3 days, you and your son must leave Linfeng Town!In front of everyone, Lena had to give her son, the new lord, some face, and she had to say this with unwillingness.
But... Ulanka wanted to say something else, but was stopped by his mother's stern look.
Sorry, Ms. Aqiya... I will pay to buy your house and things I can't take... In addition, I will help me bring blessings to Gio, hoping that he can recover as soon as possible... Ulanka whispered to Aqiya with shame.
He had learned from his mother that Gio, who had injured himself, was eroded by the power of darkness, and the price of using those powers was his own life.
I grew up in a small town almost and have been my own sandbag for so long.
It seems that after learning that Gio is dead soon, Ulanka's resentment for being beaten dissipated. He seems to have some sympathy for Gio, who is said to be unable to get out of bed.
…Thank you, Master Ulanka, no, Lord Lord… You will become a lord greater than your father… Please show your compassion and don’t drive us away. Linfeng Town is our home, we cannot leave here… Aqiya said in tears, kneeling at Ulanka’s feet, leaning over and kissing the tit-emblem on Ulanka’s robe.
The scenery on the towering chest looming at the collar made Ulanka feel swaying.
What are you still standing there for?I wonder if the Lord’s body has not been healed yet, can’t he be subjected to the wind!Why don’t you help him back quickly!The Baroness said this, ignoring Aqiya's pleading, and together with Kato, Rumbabu and others, he sent the Baron's head and the body of the baron brought back by the rescue team into the mansion.
The first task now is to stitch the three-part body together and then bury it.
Although he was extremely reluctant, Captain Kato did not dare to go against Mrs. Lena's will. He had to help properly handle the aftermath of this failed rescue operation with the Knight Lombaboo who was facing Aqiya next to him.
The residents of the surrounding towns were afraid of the Baroness's power and did not dare to show any sympathy for Aqia. They whispered and soon dispersed.
Only Aqia was left alone kneeling at the door of the Baron's mansion and lowered her head to cry.
After the crowd had dispersed and the silence of the open space in front of the lord's house returned to silence, Aqiya slowly stood up and turned around and left with a staggering pace.
Many residents of the town saw Aqiya's miserable and helpless look, walking hard while her shoulders were trembling.
But she didn't know the relaxed expression on Aqiya's face at this time. She knew that everything was as Istansha expected. Her son was safe. As long as she left here, the lord's death would never be suspected to Gio again.
Because of the truth about this kidnapping and murder case, only three people in the world know, one of whom is the main culprit of the murderer, one is the instigator and the accomplice, and the last one is the firm shelter of the criminal.
The exile time limit given by the Baroness quickly passed, and during this period, although Akiya attended the funeral of Lord Paturi uninvited, she begged the Baroness at the funeral.
But Lena was immersed in the great pain of losing her husband, and her anger towards Aqia and Gio would only be stronger, so those begging and tears did not end up doing anything.
Aqiya also successfully performed a miserable mother who was about to leave her hometown and wandered around the world with her only son who was about to die.
Captain Kato found Aqia twice, expressing his desire to leave with Aqia and take care of her for the rest of her life. Of course, Aqia used a lot of reasons that he could not implicate others. The captain still refused.
The Knight Lombabwe also secretly found Aqia and said that she could live in one of her own property in Cape City, but the condition was to be his mistress. Aqia was righteous and said that she would never betray her husband and officially rejected the Knight Lombabwe without any room for negotiation.
The result of this is that Captain Kato is not only sad but also deeply blamed and guilty towards Aqia, but Lombabwe is even more admiring and admiring Aqia's chastity and arrogance.
Three days later, Aqia, who had packed up her luggage, drove slowly out of the town with Gio, who was lying in the carriage.
Under the setting sun, the figure standing alone on the road was pulled for a long time.
Under pressure from the Baroness, no one in the town has come to see Aqia and her son off.
It was not until the carriage was about to leave Linfeng Town that a very unexpected passer appeared.
Hello, Ms. Aqiya, these gold coins are compensation for your house and your inability to take away items. I am very sorry, my mother is now controlling the finances at home. All I can do for you is this... Can you let me see Gio?Ulanka's voice was less arrogant than the past and became much more calm.
Aqiya looked at Ulanka, who was already wearing a brown-gray beast-haired lord embroidered with a tit pattern, and her heart was full of complexity.
Ulanka inherited more the beauty of his mother, Baroness Lena, with three-dimensional and elegant facial features, and her temperament is similar to Paturi's gentle temperament, but she does not have the gloomy and lewd aura that his father occasionally exudes.
The light blue hair is as clean and thorough as the clear sky. It has to be said that the Ulanka, which focuses on the advantages of Paturi and Lena, is indeed outstanding in appearance.
At this time, he had just recovered from the serious illness, and he was less arrogant than the noble children and seemed very friendly.
Master Ulanka... No, Lord Lord, of course, Gio is in the carriage... Aqiya nodded and gestured.
Ulanka walked behind the carriage compartment, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and jumped up.
He sat next to Gio, pretending to be sick, frowned without saying a word.
Brother Ulanka... Hello, I'm sorry for what happened last time... Gio was shocked by him, afraid that the other party would see something, so he had to speak first.
That level is nothing. Anyway, I beat you half to death every time... I only lost once. By the way, I heard them say you were so badly caused by those dark forces. Is it true?Ulanka waved his hand and casually exposed the fact that he was seriously injured by Gio.
I don't know much about it...
Humph, I said, how could you, a civilian without talent, have that kind of power?
…Thank you for sending us…
Tsk, I don’t know why. I should have hated you very much, but in the end I had to come over to see you...
...Hey, you can't fall in love with me, right... Gio looked at Ulanka's slightly feminine handsome face, had a cold war, and accidentally told him the possibility that he had thought of.
oops!?You guys, you dare to even make jokes about your uncle Ulanka!Don’t think you can be presumptuous when you are about to die!Ulanka was also shocked. After reacting, he reached out to pinch Gio's face and pinched him hard.
pain!It hurts...Okay, stop making trouble for Brother Ulanka. In the town for so many years, except for you who often beat me, everyone else has almost ignored me.Speaking of which, I can't remember all the names of those people, but I am more familiar with you.
Gio, do you know why I hate you?
I know, because your father likes my mom...
No, do you know?When I knew his head was cut off, I was in a very happy mood. He should have died long ago... He betrayed his mother again and again, and... Anyway, he is dead, so I will tell you, my father's beast actually slept with Ms. Aqiya... But by the way, your mother is really very tempting. If I have a chance in the future, I will...
Cough... OK, you see, I'm almost dead, can you stop being angry with me anymore...
Stop talking nonsense, you guys have also peeked at my mother and sister taking a bath.
How do you know!?
When you peeked, I was peeking. You little pervert was so obsessed with the sensation that you didn't notice me at all.
You even peek at your own mother and sister!It's simply too much!
Talk, don't say you haven't peeked at Ms. Akiya taking a shower.
Uh...this...
The conversation between the two couldn't help but stop, looked at each other, and after a few seconds, the kind of slut that both men knew about each other.
Okay, I'm leaving, this is a farewell gift.As he said that, Ulanka took out a beautifully shaped dagger and handed it to Gio.
Ah?Thank you so much, I always wanted to have a dagger like this!Gio suddenly realized that Ulanka was still good. Although he always bullied him, he also gave him a valuable gift in the end.
He even thought that maybe Ulanka actually regarded himself as a friend, and beat his behavior might be a way for awkward aristocratic children to express their friendship.
Don’t worry too much, remember to live well~!Ulanka smiled, waved goodbye, jumped out of the carriage, nodded and smiled at Aqiya, and turned around and left.
Gio, what did he say to you?The two of them were muttering from behind, and Aqiya in front didn't hear clearly due to the strong wind. She was worried that she immediately asked after leaving Ulanka.
No, nothing, it’s just ordinary practice. In fact, Brother Ulanka is quite good, but I just don’t know why he always bullies me... Mom, look, he gave me a dagger before leaving.Gio quickly explained to his mother, but he didn't dare to say that he had been discovered when he saw others taking a bath.
As he said this, Geo pulled out the dagger and saw that the gorgeous knife was extremely sharp, and the magnificent purple light reflected on the blade.
Hiss~...What a sharp dagger, Brother Ulanka seemed to have given me a very precious treasure... Geo, who was fascinated by the sight, couldn't help but stretch out his hand to caress the glowing blade, but when he touched the purple light, a hole was cut by the sharp blade, and blood quickly overflowed along his fingers.
I really can't do anything to you. I'll always hurt myself when I'm so big.Okay, go and let Isa out of the box, it should be safe until now... Aqiya looked at the gradually dimming sky and the town that disappeared from sight, and turned around to Gio in the carriage.
OK!Gio, who had already planned this, quickly opened the clothes covered in the wooden box, and carried out the big devil Istansha who had been restrained and stuffed in the wooden box for three days.
You said, the Ulanka who always bullies you, this time he gave you a farewell and gave you a gift?Under Akiya's strong request, Gio had no choice but to untie Istansha's entire body.
After stretching his body while yawning, the great devil who had recovered his freedom began to ask carefully about everything that had happened in the past three days.
Yes, that's it... As he said that, Gio handed the dagger to Istansha.
...Ho hoho, young people are really amazing nowadays. Ulanka is much better than his father. He has such scheming and means at a young age... Great... Istansha pulled out his dagger, stared at the moment, and suddenly laughed at the purple halo on the sharp blade.
Why?Auntie, what did you say?Is there something wrong with this dagger?Gio asked in confusion.
Even Aqiya in front stopped the carriage and turned around to listen.
Humph, it's not just a problem, look... As he said that, Istan Sarah opened the cloth curtain on the edge of the carriage and threw the dagger out. A purple light flashed, and the dagger had already stabbed into the trunk of a big tree next to the road.
Just a few dozen seconds later, the thick tree turned black in front of Aqiya and Gio and his son at a speed visible to the naked eye. The leaves instantly withered, and the blackened bark began to fall off. Finally, the big tree collapsed in the terrified expression of the bystanders and turned into ink-black tree debris.
After reacting, Gio raised the hand that had just been cut by the dagger and carefully looked at it. He saw that there was no more blood flowing out of the wound, and a terrifying ball of black substance was spreading from the wound along the blood vessels to his arms.
I saw it. The poison-tempering dagger is the venom in the venom of the sharp-clawed snake man in the lost swamp in the southwest of the mainland, or has been purified... It is very violent and severely poisonous. The poisoned person will die in black all over his body. The body turns into black pus and blood and disappears after a few days. What's terrible is that this venom is also corrosive and contagious. If someone touches the body of the poisoned person, it will be poisoned and die soon.Istanza jumped out of the carriage with a smile, walked closer, stretched out her legs and used her high-heeled boots to pull out the dagger from the black tree chips, possessed her and picked it up.
Gio!Aqiya lived in her son with trembling body.
I...will I die too?Geo asked in surprise, he was strange because he didn't feel any discomfort, and even the places where the black substance had already invaded had no special feeling.
Of course not, because you have drunk my milk, it is the essence of my energy. This little toxin will only become the nutrient for the blood in your body now... Okay, I know you have many things that you can't understand, and there are many things you want to ask me. Since it is temporarily safe, let me explain the causes and consequences of all these things to you from the beginning.Istansha smiled and threw the dagger back to Gio, which scared the latter so much that he almost dared to take it with his hands.
The boy carefully pinched the hilt of the knife with his fingers and returned the dagger to sheath. The mother and son, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Istansha at the same time. The mother and son did have too many questions that they could not understand. Istansha needed to explain it clearly why the entire development process of the incident was exactly the same as what Istansha told him in advance.
His eyes stared at the box in a daze, and his face was filled with hesitation and fear.
Is this...that thing?Aqiya also looked at the wooden box on the table with a complicated expression and asked softly.
All the hatred and disgust and confusion have ended. When the person who once used despicable means to defile herself appeared in front of her in this form, Aqiya couldn't tell what she was now, and she felt that her heart was so chaotic that it was really hard to describe.
Well... I'm sorry, mom... Geo lowered his head and said quietly, knowing why his mother endured that huge humiliation.
But he has grown up and he cannot let his beloved mother bear all this.
Gio was indeed scared when he killed Paturi with his own hands, but he did not regret it.
The silly child... Is there anything worth apologizing for? He is worthy of death.Mom will always love you. No matter where we go in the future, Mom will always be with Xiao Geo... Aqiya let out a long sigh, held Geo's cheek with both hands, raised his head, and said to her son with a smile.
I love you too, mom... Geo choked and hugged Aqia hard, and his head was naturally buried in the soft and swollen peaks on his mother's chest.
Suddenly he found that his intimate action that had always been accustomed to between mother and son made him blush and even his breathing began to become a little rapid and hot.
At this moment, the naive Geo had not yet realized that he had already tasted the woman's taste. When facing Aqia, he was no longer simply dependence and family affection between mother and son. His thoughts and consciousness were unknowingly mixed with desires between men and women, and these taboo feelings would naturally trigger some instinctive reactions in the physical body of adolescents.
Humph, I still like to act coquettishly in my mother's arms when I'm so old, and I'm not afraid of others' jokes... Okay~ Go and prepare what Sister Isa said in advance, and make sure that it's foolproof. In addition, practice those skills again. Be sure to protect yourself when it's dark.Aqiya, who had seen her son performing wonderfully on Istanza before, was also softened by Gio's powerful and enthusiastic hug. The young mother with a fever on her face quickly patted her son's head and gave a soft command.
She didn't notice her coquettish tone, which was very different from when she scolded and educated Gio in the past.
OK, mom... Although he was extremely nostalgic to the current stimulating feeling, Gio could instinctively feel that this physical and mental throbbing was a little wrong. He turned around and left the cellar uneasy, leaving only Aqiya, who had similar embarrassing feelings to him, secretly calmed down the charming thoughts in his heart.
In contrast to the uneasiness of Aqiya and Gio, the elite Linfeng Town, led by Captain Kato, the beginner warrior Shulko, and the intermediate electric wizard Bolognis, who gathered in the lord's mansion, were full of confidence in the rescue operation.
The second commander of the Knights of Storm in Cape City, the Knight Commander Lombub, is far superior to others because of his own strength, and he is even more arrogant. He seems to blame Kato for making a big deal in his words, saying that it is not worth dealing with several thieves. Lord Lombub himself is not worthy of his personal attack.
It was not until he saw the bauble Lena who was crying and she changed her attitude instantly. He immediately showed great care to the sexy, graceful and charming Baroness, and promised to beat her chest and stamp her feet that he would kill the robbers with his own hands and bring the Baron back safely.
So, Kato, who is familiar with the terrain, assigned tasks and arranged routes. The Linfeng Town Guard and the Storm Knights divided into 4 groups and set out immediately. After blocking all the accesses to and from the rocky wasteland from different directions, they then scattered like a big net to surround the limited area of the black pine wood forest mentioned in the extortion letter, and searched inward.
This extremely aggressive preemptive strategy is actually considered to ensure the personal safety of the Baron, because generally according to the unwritten rules of the Sakya Ranka continent, as long as the rescuers successfully surround the hostages, the bandits will choose to release the hostages in exchange for their own safe departure after confirming that they cannot escape, and most rescuers will follow this rule.

There seemed to be some hidden traces on the ground.A soldier from Linfeng Town Guard who was familiar with the terrain next to him said carefully.
He found some bushes around him were damaged and there were subtle footprints on the ground.

The person who had read the letter suddenly realized at this moment, and his face also became extremely ugly...
When the large group of troops rescued the lord returned to the lord's house as fast as possible, Linfeng Town had already been shrouded in the darkness of the autumn night.
The open space in front of the door of the Baron Paturi's mansion was illuminated by torches like daytime. Ruth, the baron's daughter, who was shivering in her mother's arms, Ulanka, the son of the baron who had just recovered from a serious illness, was supported by the servants, the miserable and sobbing baron Lena, the servants in the Baron's manor and all the onlookers, looked at a black pine stick standing at the gate of the Baron's house in fear.
The sharpened wooden stick was wearing a human head at the top. Because the wooden stick penetrated from the back of its head, the facial features of the head were clearly visible. This was the head of Baron Paturi, the lord of Linfeng Town. The expression with a strange smile on the baron's face was still lifelike.
It was a man in black... I swear to the Seven Gods. I had never seen such a terrifying speed before, and I didn't make a sound when I walked. The guy inserted the wooden stick here and ran away. I only saw a flash of black shadows and the person disappeared...
Yes!I seem to see it too!It just disappeared in a blink of an eye. I thought I was confused...
Yes!I saw it just now!That was a guy with a low figure but a strong figure...
……
Seeing Captain Kato and his party return to the town, the onlookers recovered from the atmosphere of fear and depression just now.
Several of the witnesses described the terrifying man in black who entered the town at night and erected a wooden stick in the head of the Lord Pathurian at the door of the Lord's Mansion.
Judging from the description of the residents of the town, this is a guy with a low figure but an unusually stout stature.
Seeing all this, Aqiya, who was also hidden in the crowd of onlookers, had to admire Istansha's tricks at this time, and thought to herself: No wonder that woman asked that Gio not only to cover her face, but also to stuff so many strips of cloth into her clothes.In this way, even if someone sees what Gio does, he will not doubt him because of his completely different figures.What a cunning and vicious witch, she led all of Gio to be ruined by her... she had to find a way to drive her away...
Captain Cato, the Knights of Lombabwe, as well as Shulko and Bolognis, all of whom were ashamed to comfort the Baroness who had lost her husband. The Knights of Lombabwe even vowed to return to Cape City to ask the city lord Earn Earn to issue an imperial wanted order, and the murderers who killed the Baron must be brought to justice.
Yes, sorry... Captain Kato, about my son's health, can you please help me to invite the Bishop to Cape City... Aqiya, with tears in her eyes, walked up carefully and said softly to Captain Kato, who was frustrated and blamed himself.
The young mother reflected in the torch, her heart-wrenching expression was weak and beautiful. Even Captain Kato, who had an extremely bad heart, could not refuse her request.
It’s because of your damn son Paturi that he died!You selfish and hypocritical woman!He is so kind to you, and in the end he even accompanied his life for your lowly commoner son!You still have the face to find someone else to save your son!?Paturi is dead!Your son Gio will also be buried with you!No matter what it is!He was guilty of a crime if he injured Ulanka!Paturi is dead, now my son Ulanka.Gas will inherit his father's title, and he is the new lord of Linfeng Town!Ulanka!I want you to exile Aqiya and his son Gio as the Lord forever, so that she (they) will leave Linfeng Town immediately!Mrs. Lena, whose eyes were red, suddenly rushed over, pushed Aqiya to the ground, screaming.
Mom... It's not good to do this... the robbers are in the wild. If Ms. Aqiya and Gio leave now, what if they encounter those demons... Although Ulanka is a playboy, he is still young and still has a conscience and pity.
Besides, Aqiya's sad and helpless look really made him unable to make up. Ulanka's previous words that humiliated Gio actually reflected his thoughts.
By chance, Ulanka discovered the romantic affairs between his father and the beautiful mother of Gio. Like Gio, he secretly saw everything and developed a desire for Aqiya who was kind enough to be happy under Paturi.
But he didn't dare to compete with his father for a woman, and in the end he had to vent the evil fire that was suppressed in his heart on Gio.
snort!Did you hear it?What a kind lord, since that's the case, I'll give you 3 days. In 3 days, you and your son must leave Linfeng Town!In front of everyone, Lena had to give her son, the new lord, some face, and she had to say this with unwillingness.
But... Ulanka wanted to say something else, but was stopped by his mother's stern look.
Sorry, Ms. Aqiya... I will pay to buy your house and things I can't take... In addition, I will help me bring blessings to Gio, hoping that he can recover as soon as possible... Ulanka whispered to Aqiya with shame.
He had learned from his mother that Gio, who had injured himself, was eroded by the power of darkness, and the price of using those powers was his own life.
I grew up in a small town almost and have been my own sandbag for so long.
It seems that after learning that Gio is dead soon, Ulanka's resentment for being beaten dissipated. He seems to have some sympathy for Gio, who is said to be unable to get out of bed.
…Thank you, Master Ulanka, no, Lord Lord… You will become a lord greater than your father… Please show your compassion and don’t drive us away. Linfeng Town is our home, we cannot leave here… Aqiya said in tears, kneeling at Ulanka’s feet, leaning over and kissing the tit-emblem on Ulanka’s robe.
The scenery on the towering chest looming at the collar made Ulanka feel swaying.
What are you still standing there for?I wonder if the Lord’s body has not been healed yet, can’t he be subjected to the wind!Why don’t you help him back quickly!The Baroness said this, ignoring Aqiya's pleading, and together with Kato, Rumbabu and others, he sent the Baron's head and the body of the baron brought back by the rescue team into the mansion.
The first task now is to stitch the three-part body together and then bury it.
Although he was extremely reluctant, Captain Kato did not dare to go against Mrs. Lena's will. He had to help properly handle the aftermath of this failed rescue operation with the Knight Lombaboo who was facing Aqiya next to him.
The residents of the surrounding towns were afraid of the Baroness's power and did not dare to show any sympathy for Aqia. They whispered and soon dispersed.
Only Aqia was left alone kneeling at the door of the Baron's mansion and lowered her head to cry.
After the crowd had dispersed and the silence of the open space in front of the lord's house returned to silence, Aqiya slowly stood up and turned around and left with a staggering pace.
Many residents of the town saw Aqiya's miserable and helpless look, walking hard while her shoulders were trembling.
But she didn't know the relaxed expression on Aqiya's face at this time. She knew that everything was as Istansha expected. Her son was safe. As long as she left here, the lord's death would never be suspected to Gio again.
Because of the truth about this kidnapping and murder case, only three people in the world know, one of whom is the main culprit of the murderer, one is the instigator and the accomplice, and the last one is the firm shelter of the criminal.
The exile time limit given by the Baroness quickly passed, and during this period, although Akiya attended the funeral of Lord Paturi uninvited, she begged the Baroness at the funeral.
But Lena was immersed in the great pain of losing her husband, and her anger towards Aqia and Gio would only be stronger, so those begging and tears did not end up doing anything.
Aqiya also successfully performed a miserable mother who was about to leave her hometown and wandered around the world with her only son who was about to die.
Captain Kato found Aqia twice, expressing his desire to leave with Aqia and take care of her for the rest of her life. Of course, Aqia used a lot of reasons that he could not implicate others. The captain still refused.
The Knight Lombabwe also secretly found Aqia and said that she could live in one of her own property in Cape City, but the condition was to be his mistress. Aqia was righteous and said that she would never betray her husband and officially rejected the Knight Lombabwe without any room for negotiation.
The result of this is that Captain Kato is not only sad but also deeply blamed and guilty towards Aqia, but Lombabwe is even more admiring and admiring Aqia's chastity and arrogance.
Three days later, Aqia, who had packed up her luggage, drove slowly out of the town with Gio, who was lying in the carriage.
Under the setting sun, the figure standing alone on the road was pulled for a long time.
Under pressure from the Baroness, no one in the town has come to see Aqia and her son off.
It was not until the carriage was about to leave Linfeng Town that a very unexpected passer appeared.
Hello, Ms. Aqiya, these gold coins are compensation for your house and your inability to take away items. I am very sorry, my mother is now controlling the finances at home. All I can do for you is this... Can you let me see Gio?Ulanka's voice was less arrogant than the past and became much more calm.
Aqiya looked at Ulanka, who was already wearing a brown-gray beast-haired lord embroidered with a tit pattern, and her heart was full of complexity.
Ulanka inherited more the beauty of his mother, Baroness Lena, with three-dimensional and elegant facial features, and her temperament is similar to Paturi's gentle temperament, but she does not have the gloomy and lewd aura that his father occasionally exudes.
The light blue hair is as clean and thorough as the clear sky. It has to be said that the Ulanka, which focuses on the advantages of Paturi and Lena, is indeed outstanding in appearance.
At this time, he had just recovered from the serious illness, and he was less arrogant than the noble children and seemed very friendly.
Master Ulanka... No, Lord Lord, of course, Gio is in the carriage... Aqiya nodded and gestured.
Ulanka walked behind the carriage compartment, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and jumped up.
He sat next to Gio, pretending to be sick, frowned without saying a word.
Brother Ulanka... Hello, I'm sorry for what happened last time... Gio was shocked by him, afraid that the other party would see something, so he had to speak first.
That level is nothing. Anyway, I beat you half to death every time... I only lost once. By the way, I heard them say you were so badly caused by those dark forces. Is it true?Ulanka waved his hand and casually exposed the fact that he was seriously injured by Gio.
I don't know much about it...
Humph, I said, how could you, a civilian without talent, have that kind of power?
…Thank you for sending us…
Tsk, I don’t know why. I should have hated you very much, but in the end I had to come over to see you...
...Hey, you can't fall in love with me, right... Gio looked at Ulanka's slightly feminine handsome face, had a cold war, and accidentally told him the possibility that he had thought of.
oops!?You guys, you dare to even make jokes about your uncle Ulanka!Don’t think you can be presumptuous when you are about to die!Ulanka was also shocked. After reacting, he reached out to pinch Gio's face and pinched him hard.
pain!It hurts...Okay, stop making trouble for Brother Ulanka. In the town for so many years, except for you who often beat me, everyone else has almost ignored me.Speaking of which, I can't remember all the names of those people, but I am more familiar with you.
Gio, do you know why I hate you?
I know, because your father likes my mom...
No, do you know?When I knew his head was cut off, I was in a very happy mood. He should have died long ago... He betrayed his mother again and again, and... Anyway, he is dead, so I will tell you, my father's beast actually slept with Ms. Aqiya... But by the way, your mother is really very tempting. If I have a chance in the future, I will...
Cough... OK, you see, I'm almost dead, can you stop being angry with me anymore...
Stop talking nonsense, you guys have also peeked at my mother and sister taking a bath.
How do you know!?
When you peeked, I was peeking. You little pervert was so obsessed with the sensation that you didn't notice me at all.
You even peek at your own mother and sister!It's simply too much!
Talk, don't say you haven't peeked at Ms. Akiya taking a shower.
Uh...this...
The conversation between the two couldn't help but stop, looked at each other, and after a few seconds, the kind of slut that both men knew about each other.
Okay, I'm leaving, this is a farewell gift.As he said that, Ulanka took out a beautifully shaped dagger and handed it to Gio.
Ah?Thank you so much, I always wanted to have a dagger like this!Gio suddenly realized that Ulanka was still good. Although he always bullied him, he also gave him a valuable gift in the end.
He even thought that maybe Ulanka actually regarded himself as a friend, and beat his behavior might be a way for awkward aristocratic children to express their friendship.
Don’t worry too much, remember to live well~!Ulanka smiled, waved goodbye, jumped out of the carriage, nodded and smiled at Aqiya, and turned around and left.
Gio, what did he say to you?The two of them were muttering from behind, and Aqiya in front didn't hear clearly due to the strong wind. She was worried that she immediately asked after leaving Ulanka.
No, nothing, it’s just ordinary practice. In fact, Brother Ulanka is quite good, but I just don’t know why he always bullies me... Mom, look, he gave me a dagger before leaving.Gio quickly explained to his mother, but he didn't dare to say that he had been discovered when he saw others taking a bath.
As he said this, Geo pulled out the dagger and saw that the gorgeous knife was extremely sharp, and the magnificent purple light reflected on the blade.
Hiss~...What a sharp dagger, Brother Ulanka seemed to have given me a very precious treasure... Geo, who was fascinated by the sight, couldn't help but stretch out his hand to caress the glowing blade, but when he touched the purple light, a hole was cut by the sharp blade, and blood quickly overflowed along his fingers.
I really can't do anything to you. I'll always hurt myself when I'm so big.Okay, go and let Isa out of the box, it should be safe until now... Aqiya looked at the gradually dimming sky and the town that disappeared from sight, and turned around to Gio in the carriage.
OK!Gio, who had already planned this, quickly opened the clothes covered in the wooden box, and carried out the big devil Istansha who had been restrained and stuffed in the wooden box for three days.
You said, the Ulanka who always bullies you, this time he gave you a farewell and gave you a gift?Under Akiya's strong request, Gio had no choice but to untie Istansha's entire body.
After stretching his body while yawning, the great devil who had recovered his freedom began to ask carefully about everything that had happened in the past three days.
Yes, that's it... As he said that, Gio handed the dagger to Istansha.
...Ho hoho, young people are really amazing nowadays. Ulanka is much better than his father. He has such scheming and means at a young age... Great... Istansha pulled out his dagger, stared at the moment, and suddenly laughed at the purple halo on the sharp blade.
Why?Auntie, what did you say?Is there something wrong with this dagger?Gio asked in confusion.
Even Aqiya in front stopped the carriage and turned around to listen.
Humph, it's not just a problem, look... As he said that, Istan Sarah opened the cloth curtain on the edge of the carriage and threw the dagger out. A purple light flashed, and the dagger had already stabbed into the trunk of a big tree next to the road.
Just a few dozen seconds later, the thick tree turned black in front of Aqiya and Gio and his son at a speed visible to the naked eye. The leaves instantly withered, and the blackened bark began to fall off. Finally, the big tree collapsed in the terrified expression of the bystanders and turned into ink-black tree debris.
After reacting, Gio raised the hand that had just been cut by the dagger and carefully looked at it. He saw that there was no more blood flowing out of the wound, and a terrifying ball of black substance was spreading from the wound along the blood vessels to his arms.
I saw it. The poison-tempering dagger is the venom in the venom of the sharp-clawed snake man in the lost swamp in the southwest of the mainland, or has been purified... It is very violent and severely poisonous. The poisoned person will die in black all over his body. The body turns into black pus and blood and disappears after a few days. What's terrible is that this venom is also corrosive and contagious. If someone touches the body of the poisoned person, it will be poisoned and die soon.Istanza jumped out of the carriage with a smile, walked closer, stretched out her legs and used her high-heeled boots to pull out the dagger from the black tree chips, possessed her and picked it up.
Gio!Aqiya lived in her son with trembling body.
I...will I die too?Geo asked in surprise, he was strange because he didn't feel any discomfort, and even the places where the black substance had already invaded had no special feeling.
Of course not, because you have drunk my milk, it is the essence of my energy. This little toxin will only become the nutrient for the blood in your body now... Okay, I know you have many things that you can't understand, and there are many things you want to ask me. Since it is temporarily safe, let me explain the causes and consequences of all these things to you from the beginning.Istansha smiled and threw the dagger back to Gio, which scared the latter so much that he almost dared to take it with his hands.
The boy carefully pinched the hilt of the knife with his fingers and returned the dagger to sheath. The mother and son, who breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Istansha at the same time. The mother and son did have too many questions that they could not understand. Istansha needed to explain it clearly why the entire development process of the incident was exactly the same as what Istansha told him in advance.
