Chapter 345

This can be regarded as the Duke of Antica’s relationship with the two of them.

The reward for your hard work in raising Li Teuk.

The new city has been partially built, and residents who were dissatisfied with the crowding and clutter of the old city have moved in one after another, and the couple's bakery business is gradually booming.

Early that morning, Andre went downstairs, hung up the business sign, and then went into the kitchen to get busy.

Jenny continued to rest for half an hour, then walked downstairs to look at the store.

Jenny sat at the back of the shop, yawned boredly, then took out a book and read.

She was illiterate before, but after getting a windfall, her life became much easier. She often went to church and learned how to read and write from the priest. The book in her hand was a teaching given to her by the priest. The priest's original intention was to hope that She was able to learn and practice the teachings later in life.

Of course, Jenny regarded it as a book to pass the time during her spare time while looking at the store.

At this time, a well-dressed blue-haired young man walked into the door. When he walked into the store, he looked at Jenny with a smile.

"Hello, are you the proprietress of this bakery?"

"Ah, yes." Jenny nodded. "Sorry, the bread that was freshly baked today is still being baked, and many of the remaining breads are leftovers from yesterday's sale..."

She explained this because she saw the boy's clothes and thought that he was a decent person and would definitely not be willing to buy the remaining bread.

After all, most bread has a shelf life of only two or three days. A few hours after it is baked, it will become dry and astringent, making it unpalatable.

"It doesn't matter, give me two loaves of bread left over from yesterday's sale." Virgil said, looked at the price, and then took out a copper coin and handed it to Jenny.

"Okay." Seeing that the other party didn't mind, Jenny also took out two loaves of bread from the container, wrapped them in paper and handed them to Virgil.

"By the way, Auntie." Virgil took the bread and suddenly said: "Don't you have children?"

"Ah..." When the child was mentioned, Jenny was stunned for a moment, and then said: "We had children before, but they were picked up during the previous war."

"A few months ago, their parents came to our door and gave us a large sum of money to take their children back."

"Ah?" Virgil was stunned when he heard this, and then continued: "Then, don't you regret it? After all, it is a child you have raised for so long, and someone took it away just as soon as you said it would?"

"Oh, young man, to tell you the truth, we are definitely not happy, but first of all, we used to farm, and our children have been living a hard life with us, and we must feel bad about it. Secondly, the family background of his original parents is really poor. Okay, my child has been with us for so long, so what’s wrong with going back to enjoy the happiness?”

"They say that parents in the world are pitiful. It seems that this statement is true." Virgil nodded with emotion after hearing this. "I feel like, aunt, even though you are not biological parents and children, you have already done better than most parents."

"Oh, I've been raising her for more than ten years, so there's no such thing as biological or biological." Jenny sighed after hearing this. "It's also my fault that I am incapable of giving birth to a child."

"However, if you kill that wealthy family, your child must be living well." Virgil took a bite of bread and said.

"Well, that's for sure, but I'm still worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"She comes from a girl's family. Although she has been very sensible since she was a child, she is still afraid of being bullied in the family. After all, she has an older brother at home."

"..." When Virgil heard this, he paused in his eating of bread. Then he swallowed the bread in his mouth and asked, "What did you just say?"

"I said, my daughter..." At this time, Jenny also thought of something and hurriedly covered her mouth. "Look at me, I miss her so much that I even forget her gender."

"That's it..." Virgil nodded when he heard this, silently remembering this matter in his heart.

No wonder Master Leeteuk is so dependent on Master Orson...

"So, has anyone been shopping at your place frequently recently?"

"Ah, yes." Jenny nodded after hearing this. "More and more people have moved here recently. Our store opened earlier, so there are more regular customers and regular customers around."

"Okay." Virgil nodded after hearing this. "I will come back this afternoon to get two loaves of bread. I want freshly baked bread then. Please make a reservation with the boss for me."

"Okay." Jenny agreed after hearing this.

Then, Virgil walked out of the bakery.

Then, he walked to the hotel next to him, opened a room there, and stayed there.

After that, he didn't go out until the afternoon, when he came again to get bread.

At night, Andre and his wife closed the door of the bakery and rested upstairs.

"Andre." Jenny returned upstairs and placed a bowl of mushroom soup on the dining table.

"What's wrong?"

Andre looked at Jenny with some confusion.

"The young man with blue hair today is the one who came to get the bread in the afternoon."

"Ah, I've seen him before. He's quite nice. What's wrong?"

"I feel something is wrong." Jenny said this, expressing her worries.

"He came to me this morning and asked about what was going on in our family. I accidentally told the story about Li Te."

"Tell me, he couldn't be someone sent by the Duke, right?"

"What did you say to him?"

"I told you that Lite comes from a girl's family and went to a wealthy family for fear of being bullied."

"Oh, you idiot!" Andre said, getting angry. "Didn't you say you wanted her to disguise herself as a boy? Why did you give her up now instead?"

"The main thing is that they didn't come to ask about Li Te at first, they just asked if we had any children..." With that said, Jenny recounted the scene at that time.

"It's okay, Andre, it's okay." Jenny said. "What if I'm not from the Duke's side?"

"Besides, I heard that Li Te is doing well in the Duke's family. Her family members are very kind to her. Even if the Duke finds out, it shouldn't be a problem."

"I know this, but you still shouldn't tell it!" Andre sighed helplessly.

"Oh, I know you may think this is nothing, but if the Duke suddenly gets angry and asks why we lied to them in the first place, how should we reply?"

“Oops…” Jenny became a little anxious when she heard this. "Isn't it because the old housekeeper brought it up first? If he hadn't said that Lit was a boy, we wouldn't have thought about it..."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door downstairs.

"It's strange, who comes here in the middle of the night." Andre said this and walked downstairs.

The knocking on the door became more and more urgent.

"It's coming, it's coming, don't rush it." With that said, he opened the door.

After opening the door, there was no one at the door.

"Damn it." Andre stuck his head out and looked around, finding no one.

At this time, Jenny’s voice also came from the stairs.

"Andre, what's wrong?"

"There was a knock on the door just now, but I opened the door and saw no one outside." With that said, Andre turned back.

And at that moment, he felt a huge force coming from the back of his head, and then he fainted.

Jenny heard the movement at the door and walked faster, and then she saw Andre fainting at the door and a man in black behind Andre.

"Then...that, who are you...why are you..." Jenny panicked for a moment, and then she saw the man in black getting closer and closer. Just as she was about to call for help, she was knocked unconscious.

"Take them away." Behind Jenny, a masked man suddenly appeared. The masked man said this and motioned to the man in black at the door to take them away.

Then, several more people appeared at the door. After taking Jenny and Andre away, the masked man went upstairs, turned off the lights, and created the illusion that the two of them had fallen asleep. Then he walked out of the bakery and sat on the Got the carriage.

Just as a few people walked several miles outside the city, suddenly, dozens of people appeared in front of them, blocking the way of the carriage.

The leader was surprisingly Virgil, who was going down today to check out the location.

"I wonder which duke these people are employed by?" Virgil said, looking at the masked man on the horse with a smile. "He doesn't even dare to show his true face. It seems he's afraid that we will recognize him."

"I advise you not to meddle in other people's business." The masked man said this, looking at Virgil with a stern expression.

"Would you like to think about whose territory you are in now?" Virgil said, waving, and then, the soldiers behind him surrounded the carriage.

"..." The masked man looked at the surrounding situation in silence.

Although this group of soldiers looked well-trained, he was able to break through with his sixth-level strength.

But in this case, the mission to capture Andre and his wife would be considered a failure.

With this thought in mind, the masked man locked his gaze on Vergil. Then, his body shot out like an arrow from the string, and he quickly rushed towards Vergil.

past.

Unexpectedly, when Virgil saw this, he just took out the sword from his waist, and then swung it gently to deflect the planned blow. Although he did not completely block it, it also deflected the blow from its direction. .

The moment the masked man took action, all the men in black in the carriage came out and took out their weapons to confront the surrounding soldiers.

Although they are not as powerful as the sixth level, they still have the strength of the third and fourth levels, and they still have some advantages when facing large numbers of soldiers.

With this in mind, they took action decisively.

Seeing that there was already fighting on the side, the leaders of the two parties certainly would not sit still and wait for death. Seeing that a single blow could not be achieved, the masked man lowered his body and carefully searched for Virgil's flaw.

But Virgil didn't care that much.

Although he looks personable and courteous on the outside, everyone who knows him knows what he really looks like in combat.

He stepped directly towards the masked man.

Seeing that he was extremely fast and seemed to be no weaker than himself, the other party quickly dodged back.

However, Virgil pursued him fiercely, not wanting to let the masked man escape at all.

In desperation, the masked man could only hold the dagger in his hand, trying to resist Virgil's stormy attack.

The moves are sharp and the sword steals souls.

But similarly, under the crazy offensive, Vergil's own flaws were exposed. If the masked man could be stronger, he might be able to seize the flaws and quickly end the battle.

It's a pity that Vergil's fighting method is almost invincible among his peers.

"Tsk, do you want your life?" Seeing that Virgil was working harder than him, the masked man became anxious for a moment.

He could see that although the men he had brought with him were of good strength, they fell into decline in an instant when they were trapped in the army. If he did not get out as soon as possible, he would probably die inside when others surrounded them.

Then, he heard a scream.

A subordinate he brought with him was surrounded by soldiers, and then he was unable to fight with four hands and was chopped to the ground.

Something was wrong, and neither was the soldier Virgil had brought.

In general, among the levies of the empire, the strength of the soldiers is mostly around the first level to the first level. After all, they are farmers recruited temporarily. The difference lies in their usual physique. The more powerful regular army is mostly a The second level is the most powerful one in the regular army, and most of his subordinates are third and fourth level people. They are relatively good adventurers in the Adventurers Association. Facing the enemy The siege should be able to be delayed for a while, but the current situation...

Not long after the fight, a large number of people had already fallen here. The opponent obviously did not look like an ordinary regular army.

"You guessed it right." Virgil could see the masked man's thoughts at a glance. "What I have brought is the black army that Duke Lucius has been fighting for many years. The lowest soldiers have the strength of the third level. I'm sorry, you are going to be defeated here today."

As Virgil finished speaking, more and more screams came, and soon he was the only one left on the battlefield.

The masked man wanted to escape, but Virgil kept stalking him, and he couldn't escape at all.

Other soldiers gradually began to join the battle. If you delay for a while, you will definitely die.

Thinking this, the masked man became cruel and stabbed Virgil in the shoulder at the risk of his life.

Virgil did not flinch and slashed at the masked man's arm with his sword.

Subsequently, one of the masked man's hands was chopped off, and a deep bone-visible wound was made on Virgil's shoulder.

After that, the masked man no longer struggled with Virgil, but took a few steps out on the carriage, avoiding the surrounding black army, and escaped into the nearby bushes alone.

(PS: I originally wanted to get up during the day to code, but I don’t know whether it was the return of tide or some other reason. I went to bed at half past midnight and woke up at 12 o’clock today. I had lunch in the afternoon and prepared to code, but my head was very dizzy again, so I slept until I didn’t have the energy until five o’clock, and I barely managed to encode it in 4K. I hope you don’t dislike it. My original plan was to finish this part of the story, but now I can only stop here.)

(Then there is the matter of overdue updates and repayments. I have updated a total of about 107K words since the beginning of January. According to the daily standard of 3K updates, today on the 13th should be 39K, which means I have added about 68K words. Then set before The reward is 10,000 rewards or 100 monthly votes plus 2K words. So far, the total reward is 20,000 and 1,700 monthly votes, which is 38K words. Even if last month’s Yan Emperor is included in the 20K words, I still updated 10 more words.

K, of course, I’m not asking for a reward or anything. I’m not qualified to do 4K a day. I’m just saying that I’m really not lazy. I’m working hard to complete the reward.)

(In addition, the main text of this chapter is 4K words, and there is no extra charge for the extra PS)

Seeing the masked man running into the woods with his hands covered, Virgil just waved his hand and ordered the soldiers not to pursue him.

"Send the people back first." Virgil said.

"Sir Virgil, the wound on your shoulder..." At this moment, a soldier came over and asked worriedly.
