Job hunting in another world [Western Fantasy]

Dilo's figure froze in the air for a moment, then landed firmly on the ground.

Aldridge frowned fiercely, and swallowed his muffled hum.

Noah glanced back, and the soldiers on the city wall looked dumbfounded at the flying Dilo. They had been on duty in Banyaf City for so long, and they had never seen such a thing.The guard officers and soldiers ordered to shoot arrows, and the soldiers bowed their bows and shot arrows as if awakened from a dream, and all the arrows fell behind Dilo's feet.

The drawbridge closed slowly behind them, but Noah didn't stop, and said to Aldrich, "Keep running, they won't let it go."

Aldridge responded and continued to urge Dilo to run forward.Half a day's walk behind Banyaf City is the border of the Kansero Mountains. There are few people here, and there are dense forests everywhere. They drilled into the dense forest. The complex terrain will cover up their breath and increase the tracking of the Judgment Knights. difficulty.

They walked a distance into the dense forest, and slowly, Noah felt that Di Luo's speed slowed down.

He looked down, and there was a string of winding blood behind him. Noah was startled, and looked back at Aldrich, only to see that Aldrich's lips were a little pale, his eyes were a little dazed, and the warm blood was flowing from his clothes. The robe splashed to the ground.

"Wait a minute!" Noah patted Dilo's neck, and then they stopped by a small river. Dilo bent down, and Noah jumped down first. Aldrich subconsciously helped him, and stretched out his hand. After falling down, Noah turned around to catch him, and then helped him to sit on the stone by the river.

"...Why did you stop?" Aldridge asked as if raving.

Noah frowned: "Are you hurt?"

Aldridge didn't speak, Noah's voice entered his ears, but he couldn't understand what it meant.

Following the bloodstains, Noah pushed aside his robe, revealing his waist and legs, covered with dense scars, caused by different weapons from all directions, and a piece of blood-soaked cloth wrapped around his waist.He should have experienced a siege and was injured during the siege.After escaping, he wrapped the wound on his abdomen with cloth, but then he broke into the secret meeting of the Church of Chaos, and the wound burst open again during the battle, resulting in excessive blood loss.

Noah imitated Aldrich's actions in his mind. He did smell the vague smell of blood before, but he thought it was from the gray robes and guards, so he didn't think much about it.

If you continue to run, Aldridge's injury will be more serious, so you must stop and heal him first.

Noah sighed silently while performing a small healing technique.

...He didn't say anything.

Noah took off the blood-soaked cloth, and his wounds had healed, but Aldrich still didn't wake up from the trance and weakness caused by excessive blood loss.

Why didn't he say it.

Noah sat beside Aldrich, looking at the handsome attendant knight despite being injured and haggard.

To be honest, Noah didn't expect that Aldrich would risk his life to save him. To do this for the sake of his master, Aldrich would never have such loyalty.He thought he was alone again after he escaped from Daniel.

So when Noah saw Aldrich in the underground cave of the Church of Chaos, Noah was actually very surprised.

Thinking that in the past few days, he had only been thinking about the Church of Light and the nobles, and rarely considered the situation of Aldridge, Noah suddenly felt a little guilty.

After I was taken away, he should have had a hard time...

Aldrich suddenly fell forward, Noah reached out to support him, and a long object fell out of Aldrich's arms.

When Noah picked it up, he realized that it was a bone flute with a strange shape and exquisite decoration.

"This is... the leg bone of a female slave." Aldridge opened his eyes with difficulty, his voice was a little low, but he spoke clearly.

"Are you feeling better?" Noah asked.

Aldrich suddenly grabbed Noah's wrist. His palms were hot and he exerted great force: "A slave girl, a Neilbrook, was cut off by a nobleman because of her good looks, and made a bone flute."

Noah looked at his abnormal expression and asked, "Aldridge, what happened these days?"

"Noah..." Aldrich slowly let go of his hand and said, "I was taken to a nobleman's manor by the trial knight and worked there. After that, he made me a valet. This morning, I killed him and his noble friends, and escaped."

Noah was silent for a while, and asked, "Why did you kill him?"

"He's going to skin a boy and give it to his friend."

Noah didn't speak, Aldrich raised his head, seeing his expression, his heart sank suddenly.

"But you didn't save the boy in the end." Noah said: "But after killing the two nobles, you have no way out in the Shilan Empire."

Aldridge opened his mouth with difficulty: "What do you mean... Noah, are you blaming me?"

"No, but this matter... I originally wanted to go back to the capital and find Cardinal Brian to resolve this matter, but you killed two nobles, and no one can protect you."

"You mean I shouldn't kill them, I shouldn't resist?"

"But even if you do this, it will not help the matter, and all the Neilbrooks in Banyaf City will suffer because of you." Noah said calmly: "A Neilbrook killed two nobles, What are they going to do when they can't catch the culprit..."

Hunting and killing the people of Neilbrook in order to appease the slave anger of the nobles is almost inevitable to happen next.

"They won't thank you for this. On the contrary, they will resent you and resent the disaster you brought."

Aldrich stood up abruptly, the skeletons covered with rotten skin and bones in the manor, the slaves who were randomly killed for fun, the overseers who helped the nobles kill their compatriots...The faces of these people kept appearing in front of his eyes, Make him breathless.

There are also his mother, his brother, and the tens of thousands of compatriots he has seen died at the hands of the Shi Lan Empire.

"Is this my fault?!" Aldrich yelled like a trapped animal: "I should just do nothing... Like you said, to please the greedy and brutal evil spirits of the Shilan Empire, and then seek a Is there a way out? I don't care what they think!"

Noah frowned: "I didn't mean that."

Aldridge took a deep breath and said, "Noah, I know what you mean, but I don't want to do that."

"In fact, in the eyes of the Shilan Empire, we will always be slaves, cheaper and lower than livestock. This is not something I can change by saving one or two villages."

"Killing one or two nobles can't change it." Noah said coldly: "Then you want to kill all the nobles in the Shilan Empire? This will not help the people of Neilbrook at all."

Killing people can only solve simple problems.

"Noah, you've always been very smart and know everything, so I know you're right," Aldrich said. "But to me, it's not a question of right or wrong."

"You asked me to understand why the Brooke Empire failed. I have understood it, because the Brooke Empire is a neutral country, and the God of the Loop makes people accept what is happening now, and obey it instead of resisting it."

Noah added: "The Brooke Empire attaches great importance to economic and cultural development, and lacks the ability to deal with wars. The God of the Ring teaches people to be obedient, mediocre, stable, and kind... Such a country naturally cannot resist the Shilan Empire supported by the Church of Light."

"Because there is no power, the Brooke Empire deserves to be destroyed. It is a matter of course for countless lives and families in the empire to be destroyed in an instant. This is the reincarnation of history and an inevitability." Aldrich said he used to say The theory was repeated, saying in a blunt tone: "So, it doesn't matter what every Neilbrooke suffers, no one cares."

"But I care."

"The knife that was cut on them will be cut on me sooner or later. Sooner or later there will be my body in that messy graveyard."

Noah said a little irritably: "No, you are my follower knight." Before Aldridge rescued him, Noah did not put Aldridge in a very close position, but now he decided to trust him , and work with him to solve the problem.

He took two steps back, feeling uneasy and angry with Aldrich.He recalled the previous conversation, why they had a quarrel, because of a bone flute, because of those two dead nobles—he didn't even know who those two nobles were!

Why are they arguing here? !

"Yes..." Aldrich couldn't express his fear to Noah in words. Those dead slaves were not garbage without names, but his parents and brothers!His father was sold out by the nobles very early on, and his mother was forced to join wild gangsters at the banquet. They threatened his mother with themselves and his brother, pointed at her and laughed.Even so, the mother still smiled and comforted them, and then the nobles killed the elder brother with their own hands in front of the mother, and the mother blocked the knife that fell on him...Only he lived, and he lived in such a state of embarrassment and shame.

After all his relatives died, Noah was the only person he trusted in this world. Noah was too important to him. If Noah couldn't understand his pain... this was what made Aldrich feel even more desperate.

Noah tried to regain his senses. He looked at Aldrich reassuringly, and said, "We don't need to argue about this now. If you are better, we will continue to go north, and the Judgment Knights will soon catch up."

"Aldrich, you are too excited."

Aldridge looked helplessly at the calm Noah, his despair and anger seemed so ridiculous in front of him.

"I'm not excited, Noah..." Aldridge said, "It's my pain."

He suddenly felt powerless. Standing in front of him was a missionary of the Shilan Empire's Illuminati Church, and he was the remnant of the destroyed Brooke Empire.

This is the difference between them.

"You have a lofty status, and you have never seen the suffering of the Neilbrook people, so these things are indifferent to you. I am also insignificant to you..." Aldridge said bitterly : "You always watch from a high place and stay out of it."

Noah's brain suddenly exploded, and he suddenly felt a pain in his throat, as if he was in that hot and smoky dungeon, he coughed twice, then raised his head, and jumped on Aldrich , smashed down with a punch.

"You fucking stay out of it!"
