Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 332 Farewell to Oak Town

"I didn't expect that you were saving her..." Stannis really felt very strange when he thought about it now, because he had seen Corvo's methods. If the Laughing Man was really determined to kill, it couldn't just be behind Anya's ear. Leave a scar.

"After the massacre that night, I knew that I had sinned deeply, so I left Blackwatch silently, hoping to find a way to redeem my sins and stop being involved in disputes until you find me."

Stannis stood up and began to walk around the room. He knew that the fate of that guy was in his own hands. He looked at Anya on the bed, and the hands holding the sword hilt were covered with sweat.

Finally, he voiced his decision, "The Laughing Man is dead, and I think that's the end of the matter."

"You really decided to let me go!" Corvo didn't seem to expect Stannis to be so generous, although the matter itself had nothing to do with him directly.

Stannis nodded affirmatively, because he really felt that the former Laughing Man was dead, and the one who survived now is only a person who is making up for his sins. Maybe in this troubled world, he also needs to re-correct his personality a little bit. moral principle.

"Then what would you say to Miss Anya?"

This is indeed a headache. Although she let Kovo go, Anya will continue to hunt and kill the Laughing Man.

But after thinking for a few seconds, Stannis found a solution, "I will take Anya away, and tell her that the Laughing Man has been killed by me after she wakes up."

He's not lying on this point, the Laughing Man of yesteryear is indeed dead.

Corvo nodded, this is indeed the best solution.

"But do you have any tokens that can prove your identity, so that she can recognize you at a glance and be sure that you are indeed dead." Stannis still knows the truth of acting carefully. He feels that as the commander of the Black Watch, after all, Is there something like a sword, a ring or even a helmet that can be used to identify the identity.

"I see." Corvo also understood what he meant, and then he made a move that made Stannis dumbfounded.

He actually picked up a small fruit peeling knife and cut off the scars on both sides of the corner of his mouth!

Then Corvo directly threw the two pieces of bloody skin to Stannis, "Is it enough for me to goug out these two pieces of flesh?"

Stannis didn't dare to pick it up with his hands, "...Although this is indeed your logo, it's too bloody...you can't get something more civilized."

But now that the deal is done, Stannis also said that he has nothing to say. He took a piece of cloth and wrapped the two pieces of meat with the skin in disgust. But with this thing, Anya absolutely believed that the Laughing Man had died in his hands. superior.

"Okay, go and wrap up your wound, it looks weird."

Stannis said disgustedly, at this time there was a knock on the door, it was Evelyn, she said with a smile: "Dinner is ready, go to bed early after eating!"

The lord's heart was melted by what she said, and he floated out following her as if his soul had been taken away.

At the dining table, Kimberly had already started to drink happily, because he saw his friend walk in alive. Although there were two wounds on the corner of his mouth, it seemed that Stannis did not kill him because of the past grievances. die.

Stannis sat down, and he, who was already starving, immediately stuffed himself with stuffed food regardless of his image, but the delicacies still didn't stop his mouth.

"I will take Anya out of here tomorrow morning, so how are you going to continue?"

Corvo held Helianna's hand next to him, "I'm going to stay here with her in seclusion, but if you need my help, I will definitely come out."

"No, I appreciate your kindness, but when Anya sees you, she will kill me first and then you. What about you, Sheriff Kimberley?"

The chubby sheriff said cheerfully: "I'm going to find some people to rebuild Oak Town. After all, I'm still a sheriff. Although the town is gone, I still have a few villages under my command. Don't worry, I will let people move in this time. It will be carefully reviewed and no non-human creatures will be mixed in."

"No, you're too arrogant! Aren't you afraid that the Duke will come back and trouble you?" Stannis didn't expect this guy to act so boldly, and he didn't hold his tail tightly at this time.

But Kimberly smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter, I also know a few people in the White Tower of the Empire, and there are people around Garcia who can say good things about me. Duke Garcia wants to kill me in the open. It's not that easy."

"Then you are not afraid that he will carry out an assassination again?" Stannis has already seen the methods used by the Duke to instruct Tucker to carry out an assassination.

But Kimberly still didn't seem to care much about it, "Whether I can live or not depends on you?"

"Me?" Stannis asked curiously, pointing at himself.

"If you wholeheartedly want to overthrow the Duke's rule, I'm afraid His Excellency Garcia won't be in the mood to care about me, a small sheriff in a remote area."

Stannis spread his hands helplessly, "Why does everyone know about my ambitions? This conspiracy of mine has really failed."

But Kimberly told him not to care, "Now everyone in the principality can see that the Garcia family is trying to mess with you. As long as the lord is not too stupid, he will know what you have done, so that old fox in Garcia wants to get rid of you so urgently." , It has been more than ten years, and no one has dared to resist the rule of the duke, but you dare to stand up, and it is time for those lords to make a decision."

"Will someone be on my side?" Stannis felt unconfident. After all, he was just a small earl. He wanted to challenge the supreme duke, which was just lip service, but when the day came, he instead Looked at a loss.

But Kimberly gave him a firm look, "I've always seen people very accurately. Your courage is admirable. It's just that you are not good enough in terms of ability."

"..."

Stannis suddenly felt that the burden on his body had increased several times. Now he had to fight on two fronts, one with humans and the other with the Lord of the Abyss.

After eating dinner and taking a good rest, Stannis left with Anya who was still in a coma. After so many things, Stannis finally completed his original task, which was to bring Anya back to the .

Although he repeatedly begged Evelyn to go with him, the crow still kept her true nature of a lone traveler and left alone. Since she also completed the task assigned to her by the Hall of the King of the King, there was no need to stay with Stannis.

To Stannis, Evelyn remains an enigmatic woman.
