Chapter 23: Chapter 23
It may be that the injury was too serious, and Barton couldn't wake up for most of the day.

While waiting for him to wake up, Sean brought back the horses that had been stored in the villagers, while Anji went to the village to buy some necessities for life.

Of course, these are all recorded under Slade's account, after all, she is a knight who is so poor that she has nothing to do.

Facing the fearful and angry eyes of the villagers, Anji could only pretend to be "I don't know anything, I haven't seen anything", and limped back to their village in the afterglow of the setting sun. This longhouse where I live temporarily.

The farmer's houses in Gloskland are very similar. This house also has a straw roof, but the walls are made of wood, and there are holes just enough for a five-year-old child to pass through-such as this brown man. boy with hair.

At this time, the boy was hiding behind the hole, quietly observing the three strangers in the house with his big shiny eyes.Although he thought he was hiding well, in fact half of his body was exposed, and Sean and Angie saw it all.

But neither of them paid any attention to the child.This poses no threat to them, and they have no intention of communicating with it for the time being.

"You said, how many days will it take for Barton to recover?" Angie sat on the straw beside Barton, chatting with Sean.

"About three or four days. I checked, and the wounds on his body were mainly caused by body deformation. Anyway, he is in good health, and there is no doctor in this small village, so he can survive on his own."

Sean replied casually, taking a bite of the dry bread in his hand.

After learning that Barton was fine for the time being, Angie was relieved and began to clean up the wound on his leg.

Since the wound was injured by the mixture of "spider's corrosive body fluid" and "cursed black water", and soaked in ice water, it looked very shocking at this time, and it had a tendency to fester.

Seeing her injured like this, Sean, who was eating bread, couldn't help but frowned, "It's all like this, and you still run around?"

"It's not a big deal," Angie shrugged, "at least it's better than a certain deputy captain lying unconscious on the ground."

These words are half of being brave, and half of them are sincere.Since the team has already lost the strongest one, this injury is naturally nothing, no matter how painful it is, it is just a simple trauma.

What she was afraid of was the distorted internal pain, strong hallucinations, and deadly suffocation in the silent forest.

Sean sighed.He suddenly felt that no one in this team was reassuring.

Angie took a bottle of wine from the villagers and poured some on the wound, trying to disinfect it.

"Hiss, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah—"

This battle was so big that Sean was too embarrassed to continue eating.He looked at the wailing girl, with a touch of disgust in his tone:
"Is this what you said it's no big deal?"

"Hiss... I found that you seem to talk more than before..." Anji gritted his teeth and covered the wound, and fought back angrily, "Isn't it necessary to be strong to be a man! At this time, you should praise me for having good morals , not cynicism!"

"I admit that you are quite strong, but if your wound worsens, then I have to take care of two people? You might as well go back to Kent to report the situation to Lord Slade while your injury is not serious now."

Due to gender, it is better for Sean to stay and take care of Barton.

But Angie is very guilty now - the sword brought out of the castle has been worn out, and she just threw it at the bottom of the cave, and most of the chain mail on her right leg has been corroded.

When I couldn't afford to pay for the equipment at all, I had to go back and tell Slade, "Your precious deputy captain has been seriously injured and fell to the ground in order to save me, and he can't get up for the time being!"

What is the difference between this kind of thing and suicide!
Besides, there are indeed some things in this village that she cares about, but now that there are outsiders present, it is inconvenient to say.

After thinking about it, Anji refuted Sean confidently, "I'm not going back, I'm going to you."

This belated answer made Sean mistakenly think that she was playing with her temper, and she became a little irritable:

"When are you still talking like this? Do you think there is any other choice? If we delay things, we will all be punished by the military."

The atmosphere between the two became more and more anxious, and sparks were about to spark.

At this moment, the little boy who thought he was hiding behind the wall finally walked into the house hesitantly, and said cautiously:

"Brother Knight and Sister Knight, can you stop arguing..."

Children don't like to see adults quarrel.The quarrel between these strong-looking brothers and sisters wearing armor and sabers made the young boy even more frightened.

But even so, he wanted to protect his home, lest the knights fight would make the house even worse.

"This is my home, you have to listen to me..."

Although the boy tried his best to put on the airs of a little master, facing the gazes of Sean and Anji, he was only halfway through his words, and he was already so guilty that he slowly fell silent.

Looking at the teary-eyed child in front of him, who was about to burst into tears in a second, the two exchanged glances, and agreed to temporarily cease fire.

Angie walked up to the boy lightly, knelt down on one knee, and tried to look as friendly as possible, "Are you Brill? Your parents mentioned you to us. Your father's name is Locke, right?"

Brill's nervousness eased somewhat.He sobbed silently a few times, and wiped away his snot and tears with his small gray hands, and there were a few light black marks on his fair face in an instant.

"Well... I'm Brill, son of Locke, 'Brill of the South'."

Ordinary farmers generally do not have a surname, and most of the names given to their children are relatively casual, and it is inevitable that there will be cases of duplicate names.So they will add the geographical location of their home before their names to distinguish each other.

The same is true for the name Angie, but she can't remember what she was called before...

"Okay, Brother Brill," Anji wiped his face and said softly, "We don't quarrel, and we try not to affect your family. We just stay here for a few days. One of our companions suffered a lot. Serious injury, need rest."

The female-specific affinity works well.Brill glanced at Barton lying on the ground covered in blood, then at the gentle elder sister in front of him, and slowly lowered his guard.

"Are you the knights under the lord's command?" The boy's immature voice still had a little cry, as if he hadn't fully recovered, "I heard from the adults that you are very powerful, even the strongest Uncle Berg can't beat you." you……"

Great, that's the message Angie wanted.

There was still a warm and warm smile on her face, but there was a hint of curiosity between her eyebrows and eyes: "Who is Uncle Berg? Is he really strong?"

"Yes, yes!" Talking about a familiar topic, Brill's eyes suddenly became sparkling, "He is a new resident who just moved here a while ago, and he can even cut down a tree with an axe It's amazing!"

The simple-minded boy danced and gestured, as if he was very happy to chat with the knights.

Under Angie's persuasive guidance, Brill told a lot of things he knew: such as the residence of the village head and Berg, and that Berg's house always kept some wound medicines, and occasionally he enthusiastically bandaged the injured villagers.

Angie nodded with a smile, praised him from time to time, and secretly wrote down all the details.

As for why to do this, the reason is very simple - in the small border village far away from the Emperor Tiangao, it is not surprising that anything happens.

Although she is usually harmless to humans and animals, and even seems a little careless, she can always keenly capture those emotional changes that ordinary people cannot detect.

Especially when she went to the village to "buy" things, the villagers couldn't hide their murderous eyes.

At first Angie was just a little uneasy.

But after learning of the existence of this "new resident", her thoughts became clear instantly.

From the looks of it, this Ande Kofi village is far from being as simple as imagined.
