Lord Highlander

   Chapter 712 701. The Truth

  In the night, the moonlight is like snow.

  Leave a dull spot of light on the floor through the glass window.

  Selena was wearing a light gauze pajamas and sitting on the big bed combing her long hair that was still slightly wet. There was no light in the room, and through the moonlight outside the window, her graceful body showed a clear outline under the nightdress.

Suldak opened the door and walked in, wiped the water droplets on his body with a bath towel, walked to Selena's side, pinched her white chin with his hands, lifted her beautiful face slightly, and leaned over to peck her soft skin. lips...

  …

Signa was lying on the soft leather sofa in the study, covering her head with a blanket. She hid under the blanket. The unfamiliar environment made her unable to sleep. She originally wanted to snuggle into Selena's arms comfortably Got some sleep, but now I can only lie on some sofas and count sheep, one, two, three...

  The creaking sound of the bed in the next room made her sleepless even more. At this moment, she even wondered whether the girl named Nika in the servant's room would be asleep now.

  She stepped on the floor with bare feet, and was about to go to the square table in the study to pour herself a glass of water.

   ‘Tuk Tuk Tuk’

  The knock on the door at night was very clear. She was sure that someone was standing outside the door. She put down the water glass in her hand, walked out of the study barefoot, walked through the living room and the corridor, and pushed the door open to look outside.

  Viru stood at the door with a tired face. He had a faint smell of sap on his body. He was carrying a longbow, and there seemed to be someone behind him.

  Under the moonlight, Signa couldn't see clearly, as if she was holding a child in her arms.

  Viru asked Signa in a low voice: "Where is Dark?"

  Seeing the little girl wearing thin pajamas and standing barefoot at the door, Viru noticed that it was past midnight. He looked into the room, and the living room was pitch black.

  Signa was about to speak when Suldak's voice came from behind her: "Veru, what happened?"

Along with the sound came the sound of footsteps. Surdak hurriedly put on a linen round-neck shirt, a pair of boxer shorts, and his two strong thighs were covered with hideous burn scars. Although the scar has recovered somewhat, it is still very scary to look at it coldly.

  Viru's eyes fell on Suldak's legs, and the coldness in his eyes seemed to condense the surrounding air into ice.

  Signa seemed to be in an ice cellar at this moment. She shuddered suddenly, but was picked up by Suldak with a big hand and blocked behind her.

  The man standing behind Weilu let out an 'ouch' and fell on the wooden steps outside the small building, and the child in his arms also fell to the ground.

  Viru woke up in an instant, and quickly withdrew the second-rank powerhouse breath emanating from his body. Signa suddenly felt the coldness around her body dissipate instantly...

He stared at Suldak, his eyes paused on his face for three seconds, and then stepped aside half a step to the left, pointing to the unconscious child who fell on the wooden steps outside the house with a sullen face, and said: "This child is They had a high fever, and they were helpless, and I thought you might be able to help, so I brought them here."

  Suldak nodded, indicating that he understood.

  He walked to the child, and the person behind Viru got up from the ground in a panic, and hugged the child again.

Only then did Suldak see the man's face clearly through the moonlight. It was a very characteristic face. The dark brown skin and wide cheekbones constituted the most obvious facial features of the natives of the Bailin plane. He is wearing simple leather armor, barefoot, holding a native child in his hands.

  The person Viru brought back was actually a local aborigine, and Suldak didn't care how they knew each other, so he walked up to the child.

   reached out and touched his forehead, it was a little hot, his face flushed, but his forehead didn't sweat.

  Suldak pulled the child's neckline open, and stretched his hand to his chest. The heartbeat frequency appeared to be rapid and weak, and even his breathing was very light, and he was still panting.

  Suldak asked the native to lay the child flat on the platform at the door, kneel on the ground with one knee, and condensed a light cluster with his hands, the faint light continuously spreading outward.

  At this time, Selena came out of the house wearing a nightgown. Suldak didn't even look back, so he told Selena:

   "Go and pour him a glass of water, he needs some warm water. After you go back, give him a little more water."

  His last sentence was addressed to the aborigine.

  His voice is not loud, but in the quiet night, everyone can hear him clearly.

   After finishing speaking, the ball of light in his hand fell on the child. This is Suldak's holy light technique, which forcibly heals the opponent's body with the holy breath.

The holy light gradually poured into the child's body, the shortness of breath immediately calmed down, and the strange sick red tide on his face began to fade little by little. Suldak raised his head and said to the aborigine: "Maybe It's a cold, I just let his body have stronger vitality, whether he can get better slowly depends on whether he is strong enough."

Seeing that the child's condition improved at a speed visible to the naked eye, the aborigine didn't know that it was due to Suldak. He cast a grateful look at Suldak, knelt in front of Suldak, Putting his forehead on the instep of Suldak's feet, he thanked Suldak.

   Turning around and thanking Vilu again, Vilu held him up with one hand and said, "It wasn't me who saved the child, you don't have to thank me! Now, you can take your child back."

The aborigine bent down to pick up the child on the ground, but then he stopped, turned around and took out a silver leaf grass exuding magic aura from the wicker basket behind him, placed it respectfully on the ground, and then hugged it. Pick up the child and turn away.

Silver leaf grass is a low-level magic herb. In the current period when magic herbs are scarce, a silver leaf grass can sell at least two or three high-level gold coins, and there is still no price in the market, even if many people hold it in their hands. If you want to buy gold coins at a high price, you can't buy them most of the time.

  Suldak saved the child, and the aborigines actually took out a magical herb as a thank you, which surprised Suldak.

   "Wait a minute, this herb is a bit expensive."

Suldak called out to the aborigine from behind, picked up the magic herb from the ground, and walked to his side. He saw that the leather armor on his body was very ordinary, and his face was also covered with wind, frost and wrinkles. There is almost no valuables on him, and his daily life is very tight, so this herb is even more important to this aborigine's family.

   "My Holy Light is not worth such a magic herb..."

  Suldak stuffed the silver leaf grass to the aborigine, but the aborigine refused to ask for anything, but said clumsily: "This magic grass is dedicated to you, my lord."

   "I know... well, since this is the case, you wait, the reward you pay must be equivalent to the service!"

  Suldak said to the aboriginal man.

   As he spoke, he took out a wind wolf head from his magic pocket, and said to the aborigines, "Give him to me..."

   After taking the child from the aborigines, Suldak held the child in one hand and the wind wave head in the other, turned around and walked back to the small building, closing the door behind him, leaving Viru and the aboriginals outside.

   Not long after, Suldak walked out of the small building with the child in his arms.

   At this time, although the child was still drowsy, his complexion was rosy, and he seemed to have lost his sickness.

  Suldak handed the child to the aboriginal man, and then said: "Okay, if there is nothing wrong, he will wake up tomorrow morning, and his illness will recover soon, don't worry..."

  The aboriginal man hugged the child, bowed to Suldak again and again, and then walked out of the barracks quickly.

  After curing the boy, Viru didn't leave in a hurry, and sat on the steps at the door of the small building in silence.

  Suldak also sat down next to Viru, and said to Selina: "Go and see what food is left in the kitchen, and prepare to send it over!"

  Selena nodded, and took Signa to the kitchen.

"The Janbach you were looking for is really gone. Look, he only left such an ugly body." Suldak unbuttoned the two buttons of his shirt, revealing the burn scar on his chest, and said to Viru Said.

"I know! Chambach wouldn't help a native of the plane like this. He is a nobleman who is proud to the bone. He always thinks that the imperial people should be superior. Your style of doing things has completely changed to another person." Vilu stared at With Suldak.

"Are you deliberately trying to imitate the person who saved your life and gave you a new life? You not only imitate his words and deeds, but also imitate his code of conduct? You want to let yourself live like him, let his will continue Continue? Is this your future life?"

  His cold eyes were full of anger.

Suldak leaned on the railing of the small building and said to Vilu: "I didn't think about living in someone's way. Maybe this kind of life is what I want now. I just take care of his family by the way. Viru, wake up, I am no longer the Jenbacher I used to be."

  Viru closed his eyes and calmed himself down.

   "Well, I shouldn't bring up this terrible subject."

He looked at Suldak, took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and then said: "Let me talk about what happened in the forest in the north of Zhenbei today, the aborigine who just left I met him in the northern forest outside the town, he is an aborigine in the town, and he is also a herb collector."

   Afterwards, Viru told the story of meeting the herbal picker.

"After leaving the city, I went into the forest to look for clues. The forest in the north of the town was full of investigators searching for the bandits. The mayor led a group of men in the forest, but it looked more like they were in the forest. It seems that some members of the hunt group even directly hide in remote places to hunt and kill small animals in the forest, and hide in tree holes to eat barbecue." Vilu said.

"It seems that their search team is divided into two groups. Only one group of people who have no right to speak wants to hunt down the bandit group. They even think that the bandit group is hidden in the local indigenous tribe. The bandit group is the United The adventure group could be easily robbed by the indigenous tribe, but the mayor didn't listen to it at all, he just dragged his time and planned to deal with it."

"As far as I know, this incident is very likely that this adventurous group of exiled criminals supported by the business group, united with the local indigenous tribes, ransacked a group of slave traders with the support of Mayor Marko behind them." Sulda K said.

  Viru heard that Suldak would say this, and waved his hand, indicating that what he said was wrong.

"In fact, that group of robbers has no connection with the local indigenous tribes at all. When I traced the past, I accidentally saw a bandit group at the foot of a mountain through the eagle eye's vision of the earth. They were indeed made of An adventurous group formed by a group of wanted criminals, but they did not cooperate with the local indigenous tribes. The East XZ they robbed was in a cave. When I found them, they seemed to be planning to bypass the northern city wall on the pass side. , and left Dodan Town, entered the hinterland of the empire-occupied area, and hid in another remote town."

  Viru said.

   "At that time, I also found the aborigine who collected the medicine. He was hiding on a big tree, wrapped in vines, watching those people."

  Suldak frowned and said: "If they want to leave Dodan Town in a detour, they don't seem to be able to take those slaves away."

  Viru clenched his fists, hummed and said, "That's right, when I arrived there, those wanted criminals had already executed a group of slaves outside the cave."

   "And I found out that some of those people are actually wanted criminals in Wilkes City." As he spoke, Viru took out a stack of parchment from his arms, with some portraits and information on it.

  He took out a few pieces of parchment from the stack of reward warrants and showed them to Suldak.

   "Why do you have these things?" Suldak looked at Viru in surprise.

Viru said as a matter of course: "Of course I got it from the Adventurer's Union in Wilkes City. For a senior witcher like me, whenever he goes to a strange place, the first place he sets foot on is the Adventurer's Union. Obtaining the information on those prey is also for the convenience of hunting, and the bounty of these wanted criminals is not bad...so I solved them smoothly."

   After speaking, he dragged out a large box from the magic pocket. The whole box was covered with sticky blood, filled with a strong smell of blood.

"However, the team looted by this group of wanted criminals in exile is not a regular adventure group. As you said... it is a slave hunting group. The natives were rescued, but he was only one person, and he originally wanted to sneak some away at night, but he didn't expect to see the fugitives executing the group of slaves before night," Vilu said.

  Suldak continued: "So you just do him a favor, not only disposing of all the wanted criminals, but also releasing the living slaves?"

Viru nodded in acknowledgment, and said: "I released the rescued slaves on the spot, nailed all the members of the adventure group to a tree, and found a few heads that could be sold for a price according to the portrait of the wanted order and brought them back... "
