Heimarian Odyssey

Feeling the dagger stuck in the boot, the roll of linen wrapped around the dagger, the linen that has been soaked in blood for years, Locke seemed to see the elder sister Leah smiled in front of him and looked at this naughty younger brother.

Knowing that everything is well at home, Locke feels a lot easier. The communication with Henry and Bruce was also quite harmonious, during which Locke seemed to casually reveal his promotion to the low-level Knecht, welcoming a lot of compliments and admiration from two people.

Locke also learned from the 2 population that almost all of the caravans that Baron sent before have been called back. Locke, who knows the general situation of the camp, is not difficult to guess. Baron Cardoj, who has regained his strength and merits, has given up. The previous plan to focus on economic development is ready to reap the benefits in the final battle with Shalor.

After bidding farewell to Henry, Locke temporarily cancelled his plan to find Xia Qian. Because he learned from Henry that Grace, Lafite and Christine were also here. Locke intends to find them first. Although the relationship between Locke and these three women has been lukewarm, they still to never leave each other to help Xia Qian tide over the difficulties when Locke was killed.

Walking to the carriage position of the transport team, Locke saw Grace 3 female from a distance. The maid Lafite, wearing a nondescript leather armor, reprimanded an unkempt man in Shalorian costume beside the carriage, while Christine sat on the carriage, shaking her legs, looking at the strange scene around her.

As for Grace, who Locke has always coveted beauty, she is very ladylike standing beside the carriage, standing there quietly, the setting sun, the bright sunshine, graceful ladies, and colorful clouds form a beautiful picture. , Locke didn’t even dare to break this beautiful painting.

While Locke was watching Grace in the sunset, Christine, who was idly watching all around, first spotted Locke not far away. With joy on his face, he jumped off the carriage and ran towards Locke.

Christine ran up close and jumped directly into Locke’s arms. Because of the successive twists and turns and the boat fatigue, the little girl was a lot thinner than the girls of the same age. After being promoted to the low-level Knecht, Locke was much stronger. He picked up Christine easily.

Even watching the little girl running over so excitedly, Locke threw Christine into the sky a few times. Christine was lifted to the sky by Locke without fear, but kept smiling “ge ge”.

“Do you want to be a big brother?” Locke has always treated Christine as a younger sister. Before in Frans, Locke asked little girl to call herself big brother.

“Think about it!” Christine didn’t have the shyness and reserved personality of a little girl, but instead replied carefree to Locke.

Locke and Christine laughed and caught the attention of Grace and Lafite. This is Faustin’s joint barracks, and there are many powerful people, so Rafi didn’t even notice Locke’s arrival.

Seeing Locke’s arrival, Rafi stopped berating the man who had been nodded and bowed, and Grace looked at Locke calmly.

“What’s going on?” Locke asked Rafi. He didn’t dare to look at Grace until now, because the woman’s mature and calm eyes made Locke uncomfortable when she saw it. In front of Grace, Locke could only use her strength and muscles to subdue this woman. It’s like taking them away forcibly in Frans City.

“This guy ordered the wrong goods!” Rafi pointed at the man next to him.

Looking at this man’s dirty clothes and a heavy mouthful of Shalor’s remote local accent, it is not difficult for Locke to guess that this should be the Shalor refugees that Xia Qian had conquered. Xia Xi gathered a large number of refugees in Giza Town and took them to make a deal with Baron Cardoj’s caravan, which made Henry, a shrewd businessman, amazed.

“Just forget it, Henry will give me this face!” Locke said to Lafite. It was not that he pityed the shalory refugee leader, but Locke didn’t want to waste time on these trivial things.

Rafi didn’t expect Locke to say so, froze for a moment, and then nodded agreed. Grace seemed to give Locke a deep look.

The Shalor refugee leader, who could not be lifted by Rafi’s reprimand, looked at Locke gratefully. He was a refugee who had fled from the southeast border of Shalor. Because of the forced taxation of the lords in the territory and the shadow of war, they had no choice but to flee their homes if they did not harvest enough food in the autumn harvest.

When fleeing to Giza Town, it happened to catch up with Xia Qian to recruit people to do coolies. Although she only had a full meal, the group of Shalor refugees who had nothing but a bad life had no more choices. This shabby middle-aged man was given certain management authority by Xia Qian because of his honest duty.

It was also his bad luck. The wheat that had been counted in Giza Town was missing a little when it was transported to the joint barracks. I don’t know which wicked guy secretly hid a part of it. In the past, such acts of hiding privately, whether it was Xia Qian or Henry and other merchants, turned a blind eye.

Because a little bit of food is really not worth a few dollars, but this time is different. The countless Faustans guarding outside this huge military barracks made these Shalorians frighten their legs weak. This middle-aged man is really afraid that Rafi will hand him over to Faustans because of his mistake.

Although Faustin was the one who invaded Shalor, Shalorian, who had been beaten to the ground, had more feelings for Faustine soldiers than hatred.

Of course, Lafite would not give this middle-aged man to Faustan soldiers. As a member of Shalorian, Rafi was extremely dissatisfied with helping Faustine’s army caravan. If it hadn’t been for Grace to forcibly order Rafite Help Xia Qian, Lafite will not care so much.

In fact, Lafite has no favors with Faustans except Locke. Especially the businessman Henry, the vampire originally planned to use a day and a half of chestnut cake to make Shalor refugees work. If it hadn’t been for Xia Qian to stand up in time to oppose it, that would make Henry change his mind and replace it with a piece of black bread.

After sending away the Shalor refugee, Locke calmed down and looked at Grace’s women. Christine hasn’t seen him for almost 2 months, and his height has not changed much, but he has lost a lot of weight. Locke intends to ask Corey, the cook in the logistics department, to make up for Christine.

Lafite has the scent of valiant and formidable looking. Wearing a strange leather armor, although she does not hold a long sword, she has a good temperament just standing there. Rafite was not given weapons because she was a Shalorian after all, and businessman Henry didn’t want to have such an unstable factor in his caravan.

As for Grace, she is still wearing the robe that Locke used to see her for the first time. The wide hood covers Grace’s hair and face, but it can’t hide the noble temperament exuding from her body. .

Speaking of temperament, among the women Locke has seen, only Angelina can beat her, but Angelina has a sense of youthfulness, but Grace is full of maturity and intellect, so Locke has always claimed to be a big boss. Very uncomfortable.

“Are you okay?” Locke asked casually when he could not find a topic.

Lafite did not speak. She has always had a relatively low sense of presence among the three girls. Locke also learned from the conversation in the normally that she is like a maid. Christine was still hanging her hands on Locke’s neck at this time, having a great time playing.

Grace accepted Locke’s words: “Not bad.”

“Where is Xia Qian Aunt?” Kristen, who was hanging from Locke at this time, suddenly asked. She has had a very good relationship with Xia Qian in the past two months.

Because she lacked the love of father and mother since she was a child, Christine has been very close to her aunt Grace. Later, she met Xia Qian. Xia Qian, a mature woman, liked little Christine so tightly that she even had to hug her at night. Christine kissed and fell asleep, and Xia Xi gave Christine a kind of maternal love that was different from the caring of Aunt Grace.

“Xia Qian Aunt is on the other side, let’s go! I’ll take you to find her!” Locke kept the little girl hanging on her body, leading the three people to the place where Xia Qian lived.

Halfway down the road, there was a section of the road when there were relatively few people on the road, and Grace grabbed Locke.

“What’s the matter?” Locke has always been curious about this mysterious and rational woman.

After considering it for a long time, Grace finally lifted the head, looked at Locke, and said, “I hope you can find a way to take me into Otis City.”

At this time, whether it was Christine hanging from his shoulder or Lafite following next to him, they looked at Locke expectantly. It seems that all three of them have thought about it in advance.

Locke was surprised at Grace’s request, and without too much consideration, Locke refused Grace. “Leave aside whether I am capable, why should I do this?” Locke asked Grace.

Locke has always had a feeling of separation from the Grace 3 girl. Except for the little girl Christine and Locke are relatively close, Lafite and Grace have been talking to Locke since they met in France. can be counted on one’s fingers. Locke would not take such a big risk just because they helped Xia Qian a little bit.

“I can promise to be your woman!” Grace said astonishingly. Even Lafite and Christine were surprised. It seemed that they had not discussed this condition.

“You will become my woman if you don’t agree!” Locke said arrogantly, no matter what status Grace used to be, she can’t run away now that she is in Locke’s hands.

“Then all you can get is a corpse of mine.” Grace said with a sneer, she seemed to be better than jade.

“Didn’t you always want me?” Grace pressed harder and looked at Locke with scorching eyes. “As long as you promise me, I will be your woman willingly.”

Locke was a little dizzy by this sudden incident, but he was still sober. This request was impossible.

“I don’t have the ability to do this kind of thing, it’s useless if you ask me!” Locke left such a sentence directly, put down Christine on his body, and walked away.

Do you want to enter Otis City now? Just such a whole barracks, Faustin’s army of more than 710000 people, will block the siege of Otis. Unless Locke turns into a mouse and burrows in, don’t even think of other methods.

Locke estimated that as long as he dared to bring people close to the city gate of Otis, he would be shot into a sieve by the arrows of the Faustin army behind him. Not to mention that Locke saved Princess, that is, saved the King. He believed that Kensell Prince would release the arrow without the slightest hesitation’s order. Kensell Prince gave Locke the same feeling as he had seen Baron Cardoj when he was an ordinary soldier. Locke admired such people.

Even more how, both Kensell Prince and the Marquis of Mammon were very good to Locke. Prince also gave Locke a promise of a nobleman. Of course, Locke would not do anything to treason because of Grace, an exotic woman. move. The identity of Grace 3’s Shalorian, Locke has never forgotten.
