Beginning as King of Elden

Chapter 55
More than twenty hybrids are besieging the convoy escorted by the soldiers. Most of these soldiers have been killed or injured, and only the last five soldiers are still desperately resisting.

The door of the carriage in the middle of the convoy was open, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.

30 seconds later, Li Lin arrived at the battlefield.

In just half a minute, only two of the five remaining soldiers were still alive.

The two soldiers were also covered in scars and were dying of serious injuries.

There was no one in the opened car door, except for a little blood.

The heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment.

At this moment, Li Lin instinctively chose to draw the curved sword out of its sheath.

The left hand passed by the waist, and the shrill black flame ignited on the blade.

The knight flew into the battlefield, and not long after, the city lord also arrived here on a horse that was on the verge of limit.

The middle-aged man also set his sights on the carriage immediately.

The next moment, two crazy men waved their butcher knives at the hybrids.

A mere twenty or so ordinary mixed breeds were like chickens and dogs in front of the two men who were fighting for their lives, and they were all killed in an instant.

After killing the last hybrid, the city lord suddenly knelt down, panting violently.

"Huh...huh..." His expression was terrifying, his eyes trembling violently.

He didn't dare to get up, and didn't dare to see if his daughter's face would appear among the pile of corpses.

In just a short moment, he seemed to have aged ten years.

Li Lin also took a deep breath before turning his head to observe the battlefield carefully.

The hybrids were all dead, and only one of the soldiers was still standing.

But he doesn't seem to be able to last long.

Li Lin walked over and activated [Prayer: Recovery] towards him.

"thanks……"

Before Li Lin could ask, the soldier said proactively, "Miss Irena is..."

The city lord got up from the ground abruptly, and walked over quickly with red eyes.

Knowing from the surviving soldiers that Irena was not killed by the hybrid, but was escorted by two soldiers to break through, the two men immediately got on the spirit horse and the war horse again, and headed towards the direction the soldier said run.

Under the ruins of a mountain wall, Li Lin and the city lord saw the corpses of two soldiers and two hybrids.

And not far from the corpse, Irena, whose body was stained with blood, was crying.

Hybrids are stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Looking at the scars on the two soldiers who died together with the monster, Li Lin silently paid respects in his heart.

"Irena!!!" The city lord uttered a redemptive cry.

Irena turned her head in the direction of the city lord in a daze.

The middle-aged man's face suddenly revealed an extremely weak expression.

There was no wound on Irena's body, and all the bloodstains came from the soldiers protecting her.

Li Lin also let out a long sigh of relief, slowing down the speed of Lingma.

The city lord galloped past him quickly, dismounted not far from Irena, and knelt down in front of the girl in a stumble.

As soon as the owner got off the horse, the horse fell to the ground overwhelmed, foaming at the mouth.

The rough and callused hands gently covered the girl's white and tender hands.

Looking at Irena's tearful eyes, the city lord showed a painful expression on his face.

"It's all my fault...it's my fault that I always put my responsibilities first...that's why I've repeatedly put you in this situation."

Edgar raised his hand tremblingly, and slowly embraced his daughter.

"I'm sorry...Irena, from today on, I will make up for my mistakes..."

Irena didn't speak, but continued to shed tears, shook her head gently, and hugged her father back.

Li Lin stopped not far behind them.

That's it.

The hard work along the way finally did not usher in the worst results.

If Irena is killed by a demihuman, he doesn't know what will happen to this man who is full of responsibility and loves his daughter deeply.

In this world where you can become crazy at will, I am afraid that you will soon become a monster with only revenge in your heart.

Even he, I am afraid, will leave an indelible scar in his heart because of the death of this kind girl.

This damn world...

Standing quietly behind the father and daughter, Li Lin left time for themselves.

After 2 minutes, the father and daughter barely calmed down.

"I really don't know how to thank you this time. If it weren't for your help, when I get back the big sword, my daughter might have..."

The city lord sighed and said.

"Please accept these, these are the few valuable things left in me."

As he spoke, the city lord handed over a few gold runes.

"You should keep it for yourself." Li Lin declined the gift from the city lord, "As you can see, I am very strong, and I can easily obtain this amount of runes by myself. Life will need them more than I will.”

"..." The city lord lowered his head in silence, looking at the rune in his hand.

"Please accept this." After hearing the conversation between the two, Irena also came over.

The blind girl held out a necklace wrapped in silk.

There were still some handwriting on the silk, and this slightly stained and blood-stained silk handkerchief was the letter that Irena had asked Li Lin to hand over to the city lord.

The necklace is a simple silver chain.

"Like my father, I have nothing precious to give you. This is the most important thing in me."

"It's not something precious, but I hope you are willing to accept it as a token of gratitude and commemoration of my life-saving grace."

Looking at the girl's expression, Li Lin hesitated and reached out to take the necklace.

The girl's slender and tender hand gently shook him back.

The knight's gauntlets were cold, even soaked in blood, but it made the girl feel at ease.

On the silver necklace wrapped in a silk handkerchief, apart from a little blood, it was also stained with the girl's tears.

A happy look appeared on the girl's face.

"Really... really thank you very much..."

----------

Saying goodbye to the father and daughter in gratitude, Li Lin set out on his way back with the great Jiankui sword.

Along the way, he also collected some materials that might be able to strengthen weapons. Mr. Half Wolf once recommended him to go to Rhea Lucaria to find a large old blacksmith, saying that he would give him some discounts.

Just aim there.

Before that, though, he had to go to Lake Yakir and try to fight dragons with the giant sword.

By the way, see if that guy is really a businessman instead of a robber.

Ashamed to say, Li Lin has already forgotten the name of that thick-skinned guy...

Rested overnight at the blessing point nearby, opened the map, and the knight rode his spirit horse to the area where Lake Yakir was located.

------

Back to the cave where the bald man was, he was still here, and he had set up a pile of goods beside the fire.

Seeing Li Lin walking in, he immediately turned his head and said hello.

"Hi! Hello, I've been waiting for a long time."

　The convoy not far from Nimgfu to the Weeping Peninsula Bridge did not say that it must be the convoy escorting Irena. This is the setting deduced by the author, and it only exists in the world of this article.

　　After all, the blind Irena cannot travel far alone. Although she will release a prayer-like shock wave after you attack her, she was finally killed by a demihuman's iron hatchet. In addition to the words of the city lord, Irena must not be powerful. Strength man.
