Being called by such a girl with honorifics, Mark didn't even care about his previous fear. He stood up straight in excitement, subconsciously bowed, and bowed humbly, and then replied tremblingly: "Yes, Miss. I, I am a traveling trader, I want to go to the kingdom of orcs to trade some furs."

The girl smiled slightly when she heard the words, and then asked, "Are you alone? What products did you bring?"

Mark didn't even dare to look up at this noble lady. He still kept his head down and replied in a low voice, "I'm alone. I couldn't enter Fabimont City. I found a caravan to seek asylum, so I could only come in alone. Rabimo is in the wilderness. I brought a car full of tree trunks. I heard that orcs like this kind of food very much. I want to trade it for some fur, so that my wife and children can eat well when I go home.”

"You are such a good husband and a good father." The blond girl looked at him gently with an appreciative smile on her face.

Hearing such compliments, Mark couldn't help but look up at the girl standing in front of him.I found that the other party's face really showed an expression of appreciation.

For some reason, Mark remembered that during this period of time, he pushed this wheelbarrow, walked thousands of miles from his hometown, and came to Fabimont.In order to avoid being exploited by the lords of all his territories, he often took country roads or even dense jungles.How much hardship he has suffered and how tired he has been, only he knows in his heart.Even not long ago, he almost lost his life because of it.

And all of this, no one can tell, let alone understand.Even his wife, before he went out, was still complaining that he shouldn't have taken everything in the family to Korbaf for the sake of face.

But the noble lady in front of her, who had never met before, could understand his heart for his wife and children, and affirmed what he had done.

Mark couldn't help the sore nose, his eyes were slightly red, he raised his head to look at the young lady in front of him, his knees softened, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down.

Yang Yuan was a little overwhelmed by him, so he hurried forward to support him, and said embarrassingly: "Don't do this."

As he spoke, he took a water bag from the horse behind him and handed it to Mark.

Seeing this, Mark swallowed.He originally prepared clean water, knowing that there is almost no water source on this road.But clear water would increase his burden, so he didn't bring much, and he didn't dare to drink it to his heart's content.At this time, he looked at the water bag handed over by the other party, and he endured it, but finally refused with embarrassment.

Yang Yuan reluctantly opened the lid of the water bag, handed it to the other party, and said with a smile: "You can drink, our home is nearby, and there is plenty of water. This is for you, you can drink as much as you want. "

As he spoke, he stuffed the entire water bag into Mark's arms.

Although Mark didn't understand the meaning of the other party, what he could smell at the tip of his nose was the cool smell of clear water.In such a wasteland, such a smell is more alluring than anything else.

In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the water bag, and took a sip.Then he smiled at Yang Yuan with some embarrassment.

Seeing that the other party drank the water, Yang Yuan also smiled with satisfaction.After all, potential customers will feel guilty after eating your food, and then the business will be easy.

So he said again: "Look, the Rabimo Desert is actually very dangerous. There are bandits all over it, and even smaller caravans dare not walk on such a desert alone. A person like you is really too dangerous Already!"

Mark thought of the team that passed by just now, and couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Yang Yuan continued, "It's like this. You see, I also have many people to support."

Yang Yuan kept pointing at the tall and burly knights behind him, then turned his head and smiled at Mark, and said mercilessly: "But on weekdays, they can't do anything except eat. So I thought about it. They come to the desert to do some business and earn some rations for themselves."

Mark couldn't help but nodded when he heard it. For a noble lady, it is not easy to think of this.

"So I thought, if you are willing, can my men escort you to the border between Casalan and the Orc Empire. You only need to pay a small fee on the way, and we can even provide you with clean water, Of course you have to bring your own food."

Mark was taken aback when he heard the words, and then realized that the other party was soliciting business from him.

But then, he saw the girl in front of him smiling shyly at him: "I can't help it either. All the elders in my family have passed away, and the territory has been taken away by an uncle with a sinister heart. Only me, the loyal Knight, escort me here. But we are penniless and hungry."

Yang Yuan showed a look of embarrassment, but then he said with a straight face: "But I don't want to do business like those bandits. After all, we are all devout believers, and we don't do things that violate our conscience."

Mark couldn't help nodding when he heard that, feeling that the other party really had a noble sentiment and a noble soul, and would rather use his hands to earn money and rations than do those no-cost transactions.

The girl then smiled shyly at him again, and said: "I think, a father like you who is willing to sacrifice so much for his family must understand my feelings. No matter how incompetent I am, I don't want my father My family is hungry. So, I can only find ways to find some work to support them."

Mark was praised by the other party, and his dark face couldn't help turning red, but he was infinitely satisfied in his heart and agreed with the other party's behavior.

He held the water bag in his hand nervously, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "You're right! It's impossible to be hungry, and it will kill you if you starve for a long time. I, I have a lot of potato stalks, you, you If you like, or if you—"

Mark just wanted to say, "Take it all away", but he quickly stopped talking when he thought of his wife and children at home.After thinking about it, he blushed and said in a low voice, "You can take half of it. The rest, I can earn some fur for my wife and children at home."

When Yang Yuan heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in satisfaction, but his voice became softer: "You are so kind and generous! Please rest assured, we will definitely send you to the border safely .And if you want to come back at that time, we will still send people to wait there to escort you through the wilderness again, and we will never let you take any risks for this!"

Mark looked up at the girl who made the promise in front of him, with a smile on his face, and there seemed to be a little bit of golden light around his body, so holy that people couldn't look directly at it.

He couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and nodded happily, feeling that his decision was really wise.Although he earns less money this way, he can safely take his things home, and his wife and children don't have to worry about it!

All this is really great!

Stoffen looked at the honest and honest farmer in front of him, with an excited expression on his face, and handed over half of the goods he had brought over thousands of miles.At this time, the other party probably felt extremely satisfied.Because he helped a noble lady and solved a big problem for her.And he himself was not without benefits.

Looking at the man in front of him, Stoffen couldn't help but recall the process of making his promise back then.

He still remembered that when he opened his eyes again, what he saw was this girl.

When he realized that the helmet on his head had been removed, he panicked and wanted to cover his head and face, but found that the other party had been looking at him gently, and did not reveal the girls who were sent to the camp The terrified look on their faces.

She also persuaded him not to care about his appearance, "I have even seen real orcs. Some of those orcs are strong and fit, and some are beautiful and enchanting. They are all living beings living under the protection of the Holy Spirit. Every life that can be born , that is the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

He still remembers the solemn look on the other party's face when he said this, which made him have a little doubt for the first time since he was educated since he was a child—their mentors have always told them that their appearance of human-animal hybrids is in themselves It is the proof of sin, and should not live in this world at all.

Outside, once they show their original appearance, they will be caught and sent to the gallows or even burned.Only their lords kindly took them in and brought them up.

Apart from their lord, no one else in this world can accept them the way they are, so they must learn to be grateful and give all their loyalty.

But the other party just had a gentle smile, showing no fear or dislike for him.She delivered the already baked food to his mouth.Seeing that he refused to speak, she persuaded him softly for a long time, fearing that he would be hungry.

"You don't need to do this. Everyone is working so hard for a bite to eat. I don't blame you for massacring a large number of villagers before. After all, you are only following the orders of your lord."

Even the loyal Stoffen, in the face of such a harmless smile and deliciously grilled food, finally let go of his resistance-he didn't think this would erode his loyalty to their lord.

When he was devouring the food in front of him, the other party said to him softly: "I know you are here to carry out your lord's order. If you can't complete the task, I think it's not easy for you to go back."

"We have to complete the task." Steffen said in a rough voice while chewing the meat in his mouth.

"What will happen if you can't finish it?" The girl asked curiously. ,

Stoffen looked up at her, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then you will be punished, rod, nose, and corruption—"

The girl seemed frightened by such an answer, her eyes widened, and it took her a long time to digest this information.

Then she frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said to him: "Then it seems that if you can't complete the task, you might as well not go back!"

Stoffen took a sip of water, but shook his head and said, "We have to go back."

Because we have nowhere to go.

The author has something to say: Yang Yuan: Those who want to eat still have to work hard
