Chapter 19
  "Captain Emil!" Guard Jimmy rushed over with eight people.

This group of people had blood stains on their bodies, and some of them were injured. They looked like they had just experienced a fierce battle.

Herage asked: "Didn't you leave?"

Jimmy smiled and said: "We are not that group of heartless people. We just killed some Behard people. We don't have anywhere to go. Anyway, we can just follow Captain Emil from now on."

Emil didn't speak. He hugged the guards one by one.

"Let's bury the lords first." Emil said after being silent for a while.

Jimmy asked: "Don't you care about those who are robbing things?"

"We have to leave here as soon as possible. Since the Lord is dead, the ownership of the Duer Valley is temporarily unknown, but it will definitely not fall on Miss Melissa. Miss Melissa will be in danger if she continues to stay here, because she is Obstacles in the distribution of benefits,” Emir explained.

All members of the Baron Baron family are dead, and the title of baron is not inheritable, but the existing wealth can be inherited by Melissa.

Although judging from the curse of Bloodborne, Melissa is most likely not Baron Buck's biological daughter, but Emil is.

But all this is no longer important.

Melissa is only the nominal successor. Who will actually succeed depends on the outcome of the game between the parties.

Melissa now has no strength or influence, so it is no longer easy to protect herself. She has no hope of fighting for the land, mines and other wealth in the territory.

The knights like Jimmy were willing to follow, but they were actually taking a big risk.

If anyone chooses to take out Melissa, they will all die.

Herage returned to the back garden, looked at the various flowers and plants that were well taken care of in the garden, and sighed: "Old Henry, I don't have time to help you get these flowers and plants. In a short time, the castle will probably not have any. The new owner will let these flowers and plants grow wildly."

Old Henry had prepared a coffin for himself a long time ago. Herage took the coffin out of a hut and then gently put Old Henry in it.

Herage glanced at the longbow on the wall, thought for a moment, took it off, and put it into the coffin.

When he was sorting out Old Henry's belongings, he found that Old Henry had put all the silver coins he had given him in a money bag, and none of them were used.

The hill behind the castle.

Herage and his party dug pits here and buried Baron Buck's family and old Henry here.

"The Tomb of Henry Bland"

Herage erected a stone monument for old Henry, which was what he had promised when he first borrowed a bow and arrow.

At the foot of the back mountain, three carriages have been parked.

Melissa was directing the guards to load things into the car by category.

She looked calm, but her eyes were still red.

A lot of property in the castle was robbed, but some of it was always hidden in secret places, and only direct descendants like Melissa knew about it.

These possessions are enough for her to live a prosperous life for the rest of her life, but she obviously doesn't just want to be a rich woman.

After everything was packed up, the convoy started moving forward.

Herage and Emil rode ahead, while Melissa lay in the carriage and fell asleep.

She hasn't slept since yesterday and is exhausted both physically and mentally.

"How long does it take to get to Nosentan College from here?" Herage asked.

Emil replied: "If everything goes well, it will take about three months."

"Three months, it's really a long journey." Herage looked ahead, the road ahead was unknown.

Their trip was to go to Nosentin College in the Pearl Province to seek asylum from Melissa's mentor, Grand Maester Claude. Melissa and Claude have a real master-student relationship, not a superficial relationship maintained by money.

Claude is a highly respected person in the entire Norton Kingdom. He can accept Melissa as his student because of her extraordinary talent.

In the final analysis, Baron Buck is just a baron, and his status is far different from that of Claude.

In this situation, only Claude can protect Melissa.

Herage looked at the setting sun on the skyline and said, "I will leave as soon as I send you to Nosentan."

Emil was surprised and said: "Leave? Where are you going?"

"I don't know either, but I want to become a wizard, so I'll look for relevant clues when the time comes." Herage said with firm eyes.

After what happened these days, Herage was even more eager to become stronger and become a wizard.

He didn't want his destiny to be in the hands of others. A knight as powerful as Baron Buck couldn't make any waves in the hands of a wizard.

Hellage would never forget the way Malcolm looked at everyone that day, as if he were looking at bugs.

"Then you can ask Archmaester Claude then. He is the most knowledgeable person in the entire Norton Kingdom." Emil suggested.

Visiting Archmaester Claude was one of Herage's purposes. The most important thing was that he wanted to visit the library of Nosentin College.

After coming to this world for so long, Shenlan still hasn't had much substantive knowledge input.

Deep Blue's database is now empty, and there is a lack of information on the history, humanities, geography, etc. of this world.

Herage specifically asked Melissa that Nosentin College is the only place in the country with a library that stores a large number of books.

When the convoy was driving on the road, the people of the territory on the roadside stopped and looked at it.

Someone clenched his hand into a fist and put it on his heart. Immediately afterwards, everyone began to do this action and watched Melissa's motorcade leave.

Word has spread about what happened in the castle, and Melissa is the only one to survive.

When Baron Buck was alive, he was not harsh on the people of the territory, at least he ensured that they would not starve to death.

Now that the lord is dead, it's unknown who will take over in the future, and they don't know if they will be better than Baron Buck.

Jimmy and others who were traveling with him had already adjusted their mood, but now they saw this scene and felt a little sad.

This is the place where they grew up, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to come back if they leave this time.

Melissa has been getting calmer and calmer these days, but everyone can see that she is holding a breath of anger in her heart, probably because she wants to restore the family's glory.

She didn't care if she was Baron Buck's biological child, that didn't matter, she would always be a member of the Sarah family.

……

Half a month later, late at night.

The convoy found an open place to camp for the night. Herage lay on a haystack and looked at the sky.

As long as it's a clear day, you can see the starry sky at night here, and he can't get enough of the dense stars.

He lay there for a while without feeling sleepy, then took out his pocket watch and started playing with it.

After the pocket watch was opened, the hands inside were still moving.

"This tower always feels a bit strange..." Herage stared at the hexagonal tower in the background of the chassis. For some reason, this tower always attracted his attention.
