Sitting on the horse's chest, a small head lay comfortably on the horse's soft hair, sleeping deeply. In order not to wake up the child, Feng Ao rode at a slower speed than planned.

The same is true for Dun on the side. In order to avoid throwing Norther off the horse, the speed is also slowed down, but Dun didn't put Norther on his chest. They all seemed too huge to accommodate an adult. Based on the second factor, Dun could only put him behind his back as an object.

"Judging from the traces at the scene, it was a fight between the Feng and Bing families. The car and the alpine cattle were carried. It may have been a long chase that finally got there before all the casualties."

"Who are they chasing after?"

"Can't know."

Feng Ao fell into silence and did not intend to speak out the "thoughts" in his head.

An ordinary child like Xiaoya actually appeared in the magician's struggle, no matter how I think it has something to do with Xiaoya, but based on groundless speculation, Feng Ao decided that there is no need to speak.

At least at this stage, Xiaoya is not going to be regarded as a trouble.

"In addition, apart from the wounds caused by magic, there are relatively new wounds on their bodies—marks caused by sharp objects."

"Is it Bavi Noser?"

"Some of the magician's clothes were stripped off, which happened to match the clothes on Noser's body. It is reasonable to think that he may have lived an unimaginable life in the past few dozen days of his disappearance."

Looking at the remnant tone of remorse, Feng Ao could only keep silent as if he hadn't seen it.

Although the Kingdom of Swords has worked hard to deal with the endgame of most battlefields, it is still difficult to deal with the scope of wars on a country-to-country scale in every region.

"Lord Dun, if that's the case, why is this child still alive?"

"Yes, according to his method, it is impossible to keep alive."

"...Is it because he has a sibling relationship? Project the worry and self-blame in your heart onto this child."

"There is indeed a possibility."

"Lord Dun, how are Norther's siblings doing now?"

"It is estimated that an orphanage took him in."

After saying this, the two fell into silence again.

Although they pretended not to see it and allowed the system to take them in, this was the reality, and what the two were worried about was how Noser would feel when he returned to the Kingdom of Swords.

Neither of them could give a [-]% answer.

"All in all, go to that village first to collect enough information, and bring Bavi Noser back to the Kingdom of Swords. As for the child you want to save with the Excalibur, please decide for yourself."

"……I know."

Boom, boom.

Passing through the repeated forest scenery, the sense of emptiness and the "scaled village" below the low-lying area suddenly imprinted in the eyes, and the two subconsciously pulled the reins to control the horses.

"arrive."

"Miss Feng Ou walked behind me, and then deal with it according to the plan."

Listening to the order of the captains of the two teams, Feng Ao automatically moved the horse to the back of Dun, and You Dun rode the horse slowly approaching the village that can be easily seen from above.

"Miss Fengao, what do you think?"

"The terrain and water sources are very good, and there are routes in all directions, but the villages are arranged in low places."

"That's right, with convenient transportation and abundant food, it's an excellent offensive position."

"It's like deliberately letting others see the whole picture."

Gradually moving to the front of the nearest city gate, the "mercenary" suspected of being in charge of guards raised a dagger in his hand, and slowly approached Dun and the others.

"Please come down for inspection."

Following the guard's words, Dun quickly dismounted from the horse, while Norther continued to hang on it as an item.

Feng Ao carefully picked up Xiaoya who had been sleeping soundly since she recovered, and quickly got off the horse.

In front of the city, several guards holding long swords and wands stepped forward to check all the luggage of Dun and Feng Ao.

Seeing the appearance of the swordsman and magician moving together, the face that was as firm as Mount Tai quietly looked at the luggage being checked, without any surprise or surprise.

"It seems that you are here specially."

The mercenary who was in front of Dun suddenly said this sentence.

"What does it mean?"

"Because you two swordsmen were not surprised when they saw the mercenaries and magicians, or cut them directly."

"That's right, we came here specially."

Without intending to pretend, he immediately expressed the message of "only coming here for special missions".

"Ha, you really have the courage. It seems that you have a lot of information about our village."

"It's your motto to be open to anyone, right?"

"Yeah, that's right, the inspection is just for the record now, but—"

Even though Dun was very tall, the mercenary still stared straight at him without fear.

"If you violate the rules of the village, I will personally send you to prison."

Seeing that the other guards finished checking, the solemn expression on the mercenary's face quickly disappeared, and he said with a narrowed smile, "I wish you a pleasant journey." Then let Feng Ao and Dun get back on their horses and quickly pass through the city gate.

"This village is really different."

"Because this village is a place where three races are fused."

"Besides that there are other factors that are very different."

"Did Lord Dun choose to believe it? They don't have an attitude of rejecting bloodlines, and they don't want to bear the disaster of war."

"...They have another effective way of maintaining law and order. The evidence is that they are not afraid of outsiders like us at all."

After entering the city gate, the first thing that catches the eye is a huge street with no bottom. The houses on both sides follow the street and continue to extend to the bottom.

The size and appearance of the houses are not planned in the same way, but it gives people a sense of order. The wide streets can accommodate at least dozens of people, and they are almost full of people at the moment.

Dun and Feng Ao had no choice but to get off the horse and lead the horse to move slowly.

"The monarchs of the Kingdom of Swords don't even know about such a place."

"A few people know about it, but many factors cannot be passed into the kingdom of swords. The leader sent us here because the existence here can no longer be ignored."

"What do many factors mean?"

"Most of the people here are composed of mercenary groups. Their identity and blood are discriminated against by the Kingdom of Sword and the Kingdom of Magic. In addition, the residents who were victims of the war did not return to their own country but fled here to seek refuge. I feel repulsed by this place... From the point of view of a swordsman, this place is probably a concentration camp for shameless people without the slightest belief.”

"In this place, all I feel is the lack of swordsman glory."

"The kingdom of swords probably thinks so."

"Ugh, huh?"

Xiaoya, who was sleeping on the horse's neck, seemed to wake up because of the noise around her. She first looked around suspiciously, and then found herself on the horse in panic.

"Xiaoya, calm down."

"I, how could I be on the horse! Please, please put me down, that, and my meat is not tasty, I hope you don't eat me."

Does the child think that he has been kidnapped?

In order to avoid being noticed by more people, Feng Ao quickly lifted Xiaoya from the horse to his feet, so that the other party could calm down a little.

"Remember me? I saw it in Magic Kingdom before."

"what?"

Xiaoya was stunned, then put her thinking hands on her chest, closed her eyes and made a cute voice of "Woo...".

"Sister Swordsman?"

"Yup."

"Ah, ah! It's my sister! But why did we meet? Where is this place?"

"It's a long story, let's talk as we walk."

"OK!"

He agreed with excitement, but he didn't run around like ordinary children, he held Feng Ao's hand a little nervously, and showed a reassuring expression like he was relying on it.

"Sister Swordsman, who is that fat person in front?"

"Ah."

Feng Ao raised the corners of his mouth subconsciously, and then said softly "Mr. Dun".

"Hello, Big Brother Dun."

"Um."

Hearing Xiaoya's polite words, Dun still didn't change much because of it - obviously the word "very fat" had already been heard in Dun's ears just now.

"Huh? Swordsman sister, did I do something?"

"No, you did nothing wrong."

"Well, but big brother seems to be a little angry, did I really do something?"

"Don't worry, it's because his face looks like this, he's actually very happy."

Completely hesitant, he responded with such words, glanced at Fuuu behind him for a moment, finally let out a sigh of "ah", and continued to focus on the road in front of him.

Seeing the sudden reaction, Feng Ao couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth again, and waited until he had finished enjoying this unexpected joyful situation before turning his gaze to Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya, can you tell me what happened to you?"

"This... Xiaoya doesn't know either."

A confused expression covered his face, and his little hands tried to grab his head, hoping to find some memories, but there was still nothing.

"Xiaoya just feels like she's been locked up somewhere, it's pitch black and she can't see anything."

"Is it the memory of the orphanage?"

"The orphanage... is gone."

The tone of the last sentence is completely different, each word in a painful and sad tone, as if it is not something to say, but words that are squeezed out from the throat.

"...Is that so?"

"Mom and Dad are gone too."

Xiaoya, who lowered her head, couldn't see the exact expression, but through her trembling fingertips, Feng Ao clearly felt the emotion of "fear".

"I was locked up in a very dark place, very dark, and I couldn't find the exit no matter how I walked."

"..."

"But, I had a dream inside."

When Feng Ao didn't know how to respond, Xiaoya who was beside her suddenly raised her head, sweeping away the haze and showing a smile.

"I made a promise with my big brother and big sister before, and then, in the dream, the three of us really went to the park again, and the original promise was fulfilled."

"It seems like a beautiful dream."

"Yes! That was the happiest time of my life!"
