"Captain Emil!" Guard Jimmy rushed over with eight people. Google search Si Tu 520 to read the latest error-free novel chapters
These people were all covered in blood, and some were injured. They looked like they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Herag asked, "Aren't you leaving?"
Jimmy smiled and said, "We are not those heartless people. We just killed some Behad people. We have nowhere to go. Anyway, we will just follow Captain Emil in the future."
Emile didn't speak. He hugged the guards one by one.
"Let's bury the lord first." Emil said after a moment of silence.
Jimmy asked, "Don't you care about those who robbed things?"
"We have to leave here as soon as possible. Since the lord is dead, the ownership of the Dur Valley is temporarily unknown, but it will definitely not fall on Miss Melissa. Miss Melissa will be in danger if she continues to stay here because she is an obstacle to the distribution of benefits." Emil explained.
All the people in Baron Buck's family are dead. The baron title cannot be inherited, but the existing wealth can be inherited by Melissa.
Although judging from the spell of blood curse, Melissa is very likely not Baron Buck's biological daughter, but Emil.
But all this is no longer important.
Melissa is only the nominal heir, and who actually inherits it depends on the result of the game between the parties.
Melissa has no strength and power now, and it is not easy to protect herself. She has no hope of competing for the land, mines and other wealth in the territory.
Jimmy and other knights are willing to choose to follow, but they are actually taking a big risk.
If someone chooses to liquidate Melissa, they will all die.
Herag returned to the back garden, looked at the various flowers and plants in the garden that were well taken care of, and sighed: "Old Henry, I don't have time to help you with these flowers and plants. In the short term, the castle is estimated that there will be no new owner, so let these flowers and plants grow wildly."
Old Henry had prepared a coffin for himself a long time ago. Herag took the coffin out of a small house and gently put Old Henry in it.
Helag looked at the longbow on the wall, thought about it and took it down and put it in the coffin.
When he sorted out old Henry's belongings, he found that old Henry had put all the silver coins he had given him in a purse, and none of them were used.
The hill behind the castle.
Helag and his team dug a pit here and buried Baron Buck's family and old Henry here.
"The Tomb of Henry Brand"
Helag erected a stone tablet for old Henry, which was what he promised when he borrowed the bow and arrow for the first time.
At the foot of the hill behind the mountain, three carriages had been parked.
Melissa was directing the guards to load the things into the car in different categories.
She looked calm, but her eyes were still red.
A lot of property in the castle was robbed, but there were always some hidden in secret places, which only direct descendants like Melissa knew.
These properties were enough for her to live a rich life in the second half of her life, but she obviously didn't just want to be a rich woman.
After everything was packed up, the caravan started to move forward.
Herag and Emile rode in the front, and Melissa fell asleep in the carriage.
She hadn't slept since yesterday, and she was exhausted.
"How long does it take to get to Northentan College?" Herag asked.
Emile replied, "If everything goes well, it will be about three months."
"Three months, it's really a long journey." Herag looked ahead, the road ahead was unknown.
They were going to Northentan College in the Pearl Province to seek the protection of Melissa's mentor, Grand Maester Claude.
Melissa and Claude had a true master-disciple relationship, not a shallow relationship maintained by money.
Claude was a highly respected person in the entire Norton Kingdom. He could accept Melissa as a student because Melissa was really talented.
Baron Buck was just a baron after all, and his status was too different from Claude's.
In this situation, only Claude could protect Melissa.
Herag looked at the setting sun on the skyline and said, "I will leave after I send you to Northentan."
Emile was surprised and said, "Leave? Where are you going?"
"I don't know, but I want to be a wizard. I will look for relevant clues when the time comes." Herag said with a firm look in his eyes.
After experiencing the events of the past few days, Herag is more eager to become stronger and become a wizard.
He doesn't want his fate to be controlled by others. Even a knight as strong as Baron Buck can't make any waves in the hands of wizards.
Herag will never forget the look Malcolm gave everyone that day. That look was like looking at a bug.
"Then you can ask Grand Maester Claude, he is the most knowledgeable person in the entire Norton Kingdom." Emile suggested.
Visiting Grand Maester Claude was one of Herag's purposes. The most important thing is that he wanted to visit the library of Northentan College.
After coming to this world for so long, Deep Blue has not received much substantial knowledge input.
The Deep Blue database is now empty, and there is a lack of information about the history, humanities, geography and other aspects of this world.
Herag specifically asked Melissa that Northentan College was the only place in the country with a library, storing a large number of books.
As the convoy drove on the road, the people of the territory on the roadside stopped to watch.
Someone made a fist and put it on his chest, and then everyone started to do this action, watching Melissa's convoy leave.
What happened in the castle has spread, and Melissa has become the only survivor.
When Baron Buck was alive, he was not harsh on the people of the territory, at least he ensured that they would not starve to death.
Now that the lord is dead, it is unknown who will take over in the future, and they don't know whether it will be better than Baron Buck.
Jimmy and others who were traveling with him had originally adjusted their moods, but now seeing this scene, they couldn't help feeling a little sad.
This is where they grew up, and it is likely that they will never come back this time.
Melissa has become more and more calm in the past few days, but everyone can see that she is holding back a grudge in her heart, mostly to revive the glory of the family.
She doesn't care whether she is Baron Buck's biological child, that doesn't matter, she will always be a member of the Sara family.
...
Half a month later, late at night.
The convoy found an open place to camp for the night, and Herag lay on a haystack and looked at the sky.
As long as it is sunny, you can see the starry sky at night here, and the densely packed stars always make him see more.
He lay down for a while and couldn't sleep, so he took out his pocket watch and played with it.
After opening the pocket watch, the pointer inside was still moving.
"This tower always feels a bit strange..." Herag stared at the hexagonal tower in the background of the chassis. For some reason, this tower always attracted his attention.
