Mount and Blade

...Perhaps, this old man really misjudged Gulenberudo's feelings for Benedicute? If it was just a brother-sister relationship, it wouldn't be too bad. Gulenberudo would take care of her a hundred years after he died.

"To be honest, I'm completely confused..." Gulenberudo frowned.

"Don't take it lightly at this time. I will investigate in my own way." Kirstin felt compassion. If that was really done by the Grand Duke, it is not impossible to follow He Kun's layout and push Gulenberudo to the throne.

...He is not a blindly loyal person.

"Investigate... Why?" Gulenberudo's head was a mess.

Because the previous conversation in the Fire Dragon's Nest was interrupted, and the news about the Grand Duke was due to Edward's presence, Kirstin couldn't speak. At present, they didn't know that the real murderer of the serial murder case was the Grand Duke He Kun.

However, it is not advisable to accuse the Grand Duke with almost no strong evidence at the moment.

"To be honest, the Grand Duke has been a little bit off lately." Kirstin stroked his beard.

"Shicker." Kirstin called out to Shicker, who was still walking forward and still not coming back to his senses.

"Shicker, although you may be busy with the wedding next, can I trouble you for a favor?"

"You say, General."

"I hope you can secretly serve as Benedicute's guard. She has been feeling scared since entering the city. Her reaction is definitely not just an 'ominous premonition'."

General Kirstin recalled the trembling look of his granddaughter hugging his arm, and felt something was wrong. He hoped that the Grand Duke did not intend to attack her, otherwise he would only spare no effort.

"As you say." Shicker nodded and walked towards the stone pavilion where Green and Benedicute were.

Edward hurried back to the Halvorsen family, wanting to find a few confidants and friends, and preparing to find out the Grand Duke's intentions from the aristocratic circle.

Not long after he left, Furda came back and found a hotel for Benedicut and Shikl near the wall of the royal city. It was very quiet.

As Grunberudo was too big, even the hotel could not make enough space for him, so he wanted to go home directly. He had his own house in the royal capital, but it was overgrown with weeds due to neglect. In the end, Furda pulled him back to the mansion of the Halvorsen family.

Furda had asked the servants to clean up the room.

In short, under Furda's arrangement, the men all lived in the mansion of the Halvorsen family.

Shikl did not choose to return to the Johansen family. She did not know how to face the two gradually unfamiliar family members. As an unmarried person who was about to hold a wedding, she was not suitable to live in a mansion with unmarried men. The witch had not returned to the secular world yet, and the same was true.

In short, everyone seemed to be very busy at the end of the day. Green had nothing to do, but he always had a vague feeling of bad premonition.

Because it was already dark...

Green recalled the words that the witch had said in the daytime, but she was hesitant to speak. Did she see that he didn't belong to this world?

I don't know if she can make him go back. Although he had a hard time in the original world, at least he didn't have to live in fear every day, and there were games to entertain himself.

"Alas." Green had been lying on the bed for a long time and decided to go find Benettikut.

Speaking of which, he always felt like someone was staring at the two of them in the stone pavilion during the day, but fortunately Guren Belud and the others came out of the palace in time, and the uncomfortable feeling of being watched disappeared.

After almost half a year in the Fire Dragon's Nest, Green's muscles were fuller than before. Since Beligat swallowed the black Behelet, the totem's gain effect was significant, and his strength increased by ten points, and he had endless strength all over his body.

The feeling of strength made people feel at ease. Green did not ignore the uneasiness that Benettikut said, so he went out fully armed.

......

Hotel.

Since she entered the city, Benettikut could feel the evil energy surrounding her, trying to harm her. But she could only pray.

She only wanted to see Gurenberudo now...

Late at night, Benettikut, who stayed alone in the hotel, did not dare to leave the door of the room. She was very scared, did not eat or drink water, and was looking forward to the huge figure with red airflow.

When the day was about to pass, there was a knock on the door.

"Master Gurenberudo is waiting for you in the cafeteria downstairs."

The maid's voice sounded outside the door, and there was no hostility. Benettikut went downstairs happily.

Green had just arrived at the hotel. When he was about to ask which room Benettikut was in, he found that there were five murderous men near the stairs of the tavern, staring at him with ill intentions.

...This look is so familiar.

Green paused, is it Shadow Hand? !

Green felt that this was not a good thing, so he spent a few copper coins to order food and sat down, ready to act according to the situation.

The five people's target was a little girl. When they found that Green did not behave abnormally, they continued to stare at the staircase.

When Benedicut came downstairs, she did not find the color of Gurenberudo's air flow. Instead, five extremely evil dark red surrounded her, and all of them held dark red daggers.

"Why... why do you want to kill me?" Benedicut shed tears of fear and said sadly.

These five people are professional assassins. The Grand Duke specifically ordered them to kill her. Anyway, it was not the first time they did this. The five people did not respond to Benettikut's questions at all and rushed forward neatly.

...The trajectory of history has changed slightly.

Green suddenly stood up from his seat, but a faster figure rushed over like a silver-white lightning, and blood flowed in an instant.

However, it was not Benettikut's blood, but one of the assassins was pierced through the chest from the back. The person who came was a silver-haired female swordsman holding a two-handed sword.

At the critical moment, the silver-haired female swordsman pulled Benettikut from the swords of the four assassins. Green then saw clearly that the silver-haired female swordsman was Shicker.

However, no matter how agile she was, the other four had already reacted, and the murderous intent in their eyes did not diminish. Their precise and vicious assassination skills were not inferior to Bakikala. Even if Shikel was alone, she was exhausted, not to mention that she had to protect Benettikut behind her.

Shikel's skills were extremely agile, and her movements were as smooth as flowing water. Before the other four were familiar with her swordsmanship, she had quickly cut the throat of another assassin.

The remaining three saw that the situation was not good, and immediately joined forces to attack. Shikel's shoulder was stabbed with a sword, and blood flowed from the broken shoulder armor.

However, the female swordsman was not afraid at all. She avoided the opponent's attack at an astonishing speed, and kept guarding Benettikut to retreat, looking for her flaws to counterattack.

The few guests in the hotel had already run away in panic, leaving only tables and chairs flying on the ground.

Green watched the battle while looking for an opportunity to cut in, secretly marveling at the strength of the female swordsman. But how could the shadow hands be all good-for-nothings? They have been trained extremely savagely since childhood, and are a group of people who lick blood on the tip of a knife.

However, Hickel was obviously at a disadvantage in order to protect Benetti Coot.

Just when the three shadow hands were concentrating on combining a set of fighting methods to give Hickel a fatal blow, Green took advantage of the noise of the crowd to sneak attack a shadow hand from behind and hit him directly in the heart. [1 shadow hand has been killed, and 735 experience points have been obtained]

"Damn it!" One of the shadow hands cursed, this little brat dared to attack them.

Green's sudden attack disrupted the rhythm of the shadow hands, and Hickel took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the situation was reversed in an instant.

Green knew that he could not be careless at this time. He flashed and went around to the side of another shadow hand, stabbing the opponent's vitals with his dagger.

The remaining two shadow hands did not expect that the attack of this seemingly weak boy would be so fierce, and the swords would hit the vitals directly, and they were panicked for a while to block.

Without the other men's restraint, Hickel immediately resumed his previous offensive and worked closely with Green.

In the end, Hickel knocked the last assassin to the ground with a gorgeous sword move.
