The Defeated Dragon

Wiping away the little slave girl's tears with his thumb, the owner of this hand said in a hoarse voice, Get up.

The little slave girl raised her head and saw a face wearing a face scarf. Her hair was disheveled and the face scarf was also dirty, but the eyes exposed outside were so bright that the little slave girl couldn't open her eyes.

She was wearing some old leather armor, and the threads at the corners were all worn down. On his back was a large sword with a rag wrapped around its hilt. And her chest, which was tightened by the leather armor, touched and squeezed her knees because of squatting down, and almost broke the thread of the leather armor.

After helping the little slave girl wipe away her tears, she stood up.

Tall.

It looks a little sloppy, but it reveals a strange wild temperament. This made the little slave girl quickly recall the group of people who rushed into the village, murdered and robbed her, separated her from her family, and took her to the serf market. According to the serfs in the market, those people were mercenaries who did a lot of evil.

And the woman in front of her was like a mercenary.

Ah. Frightened, the little slave girl seemed to have a burst of strength, she struggled to get up from the ground, and apologized in a panic, Yes, I'm sorry, my lord, I didn't, I didn't fall down on purpose.

The female mercenary looked at her, and said again in a hoarse voice: You didn't do anything wrong, why do you have to apologize.

I... The little slave girl didn't know how to answer, she wanted to cry again in a panic.

follow me.

The female mercenary said in a non-questioning tone, and turned to leave the cabin. The little female slave hesitated, but she dared not follow her. She lowered her head, not even daring to look at the female mercenary's back.

The female mercenary seemed to be walking in the direction of the cafeteria.

on the way.

She suddenly said in a hoarse voice: Girls must learn to be strong, especially when walking alone.

The little female slave didn't know how to answer, but it seemed that the female mercenary didn't expect her to answer, and walked to the cafeteria in a flash. The female mercenary pushed away the crowded serfs, brought the little slave girl to the window where she was cooking food, and shouted directly: Fat pig Jack, get her a meal!

Ah, yes, Captain Swann.

While speaking, the female mercenary turned around and was about to leave.

The little slave girl stood blankly in front of the window,

I don't know whether to cook or follow the female mercenary. Until Jack, the fat pig who was cooking, stuffed a semi-liquid food into her arms on a wooden plate: Here, I don't know what happened to Captain Swan, and he is cooking for the serf again.

Holding the fragrant rice, the little slave girl felt that she was about to cry again, this time she wanted to cry with happiness.

One meal a day, never been so full today.

With a mosquito-like voice, she whispered: Thank you. I don't know if she said it to Fat Pig Jack or to Captain Swan.

But she squatted in the corner of the deck and ate the food mixed with beans and flour. She had already firmly remembered the name Captain Swan in her heart. , I only remembered the pronunciation of Fat Pig Jack calling the female mercenary.

...

Captain Swan is very sympathetic to the little slave girl?

On the bow deck, the female mercenary was blowing the sea breeze. The second officer on the ship stepped forward and asked elegantly.

Why, can't you?

Of course not. On the contrary, such a move is heart-warming. I can see that under Captain Swan's tough style, there is a soft heart of a woman.

The female mercenary didn't answer the topic, just staring at the sea water in a daze.

The second officer was not reconciled, and said: I saw you helping several such little slave girls. Do you see your own shadow in them? People always miss the past self. Did you have such a childhood? ? Sorry, I didn’t mean to mention it, but I just want to know more about you, Captain Swan.”

After a while.

Just when the second officer thought that he failed to strike up a conversation, the female mercenary looked at the seagulls on the sea and said slowly: I have a younger sister, and I haven't seen her for four years. If she is still alive, she will be the same age as the little slave girl.

Well, that's how it is. Parting from relatives is indeed...

Don't wait for the second officer to answer.

The female mercenary suddenly changed her tone, and said impatiently: Since your curiosity has been satisfied, now, can you get out?

Ah, don't be like this, Captain Swan, I know you are in a bad mood. The second officer said, stretching out his hand, wanting to pat her on the shoulder, I just want to comfort you, or I can lend you a shoulder ...

But before his hand touched his shoulder.

The female mercenary suddenly bent her elbow and knocked the second officer two meters away: Get lost!

You! The second officer was annoyed.

The female mercenary greeted him with cold eyes and hoarse voice: If you don't want to die, don't bother me. I believe the captain will not care about the few corpses left at sea.

The second officer was full of anger, and immediately held back, rubbed his chest, and walked off the deck unwillingly.

After entering the cabin where the sailors were resting, they were immediately ridiculed by a group of disheveled sailors: Speek, look, the best performance of self-control!

Haha, with your pockmarked face, you dare to provoke Captain Swan, you're dying of laughter.

Don't be discouraged Spike, you lasted two minutes longer than Fox.

I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Spike didn't hold on for more than five minutes, and those who lost the bet consciously paid for it!

To celebrate Speke's defeat, I decided to take another sip of gin and water lol.

...

The rough laughter of the sailors in the cabin.

The female mercenary didn't hear it. She lay on the railing of the deck, watching the bow of the ship break through the waves, and her thoughts drifted into the distance: Coral Island...Flower Town...Little Maggie...

at the same time.

where she was looking forward to.

In the castle, the grey-haired butler Carter walked up to the lord who was writing the historical chapter of Dragon in the Wild and said, My lord, there is one thing that you should be happy to hear.

What's the matter? Liszt, who was creating a piece of historical material The battle between the evil fire dragon and the powerful dragon knight in the blue sea ten thousand years ago, asked without raising his head.

Maggie, the castle's trainee maid, has formed a contract mother and daughter with Mrs. Harriet, the grocer.

It was news about Maggie.

Only then did Liszt put down the quill pen, raised his eyebrows and asked: So, how does the Harriet family plan to take Maggie back and stop practicing? Maggie is a clue related to the smog mission , he spent a lot of excuses before calling Maggie to his side.

But he didn't want to be casual, so he let Maggie go.

Carter's answer made him heave a sigh of relief: Of course not, master. It is an extremely honorable thing for common people to be able to work in the castle. The Harriet family is reluctant to give up such a good opportunity.

Then, Mr. Carter, congratulate Maggie for me. By the way, is she coming for an internship this afternoon?

I didn't ask for leave, and I should practice normally.

Well, give her a grilled steak for dinner.

As you wish.
