Eighth Crown

Aigrey's trust in Lucia was obviously beyond ordinary, almost like a believer meeting a god, reaching a level close to blindness.

Without this level of trust and admiration, it would be impossible to say "all the property of the family is under your control".

"Cough...uh."

It wasn't until Liu Xia took back his mental pressure that the head of the knights calmed down. He glanced at Liu Xia with a vague astonishment, then coughed lightly, pretending that nothing happened, and pondered.

"What you said just now should be true, right? Didn't you lie to me?"

Being frightened by the eyes of a young man in his twenties is a very shameless thing for him, but if he says it again, it will be even more shameless. It's better to pretend that the incident just now didn't happen. Well, the few knights behind him have to keep their mouths shut after they go out.

Compared to this, he was more concerned about what Liu Xia said just now.

As long as he can get the exact merit, whether it is the property of Saiyat or the credit for repelling the tide, he can take it all. This is a huge amount of income, maybe more than the assets he owns. More than several times more.

"It's true, and I'll never regret it."

Liu Xia answered with great certainty, the words were clear, and there was no intention to lie to him.

"Okay...then let's make a deal!"

Although the leader of the knights always felt that something was wrong, he didn't want to give up the huge wealth waiting to be obtained in front of him.

In addition, his spirit was stabbed by Liu Xia, and now he is still a little uneasy, and the whole person has almost completely lost his calm. After thinking about it, he finally lost to Greed and agreed.

"Then wish you success."

Hearing the words, Liu Xia glanced at the knight captain with a deep meaning.

Then he ignored them, took Aigre, turned around and left the living room.

It wasn't until Liu Xia left that the leader of the knights finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped on the chair.

The few knights standing behind him looked at each other in dismay, and looked straight ahead as if they had not seen it.

…………

"Lord Liangyi, how are you going to deal with them?"

After leaving the living room, Aigre couldn't help but asked Liu Xia curiously.

"What? Don't you think I should try to deal with them?"

Liu Xia didn't answer her question immediately, but turned to look at her and asked back.

"Well...Actually, from my personal point of view, even if the Knights Commander is really at fault, the queen or the king should punish them according to the laws of the country."

Agrey's expression was a little hesitant. She was a relatively rigid person and thought that everything should be done according to the rules, but she thought about it, and then spoke again.

"However, if I didn't have the help of Lord Liangyi this time, I would have been arrested by now. I believe in Lord Liangyi's decision."

Although her strength is strong enough, the leader of the knights is probably a little stronger than her, plus there are a few knights of good strength, there is no problem in arresting her.

If Liu Xia hadn't come forward, then she would have probably been imprisoned by the Knight Commander's trumped-up charges, and even her family property had been taken away by outsiders.

"I've always been a little weird."

Liu Xia stopped and looked Aigre up and down, "You seem to have very blind trust and respect for me. We've only known each other for two days, right? Did I do something so easy for you to admire?"

"What are you talking about?"

On the contrary, Aigre replied with a natural look: "You are willing to stand up to the disaster for the residents here, it is enough to be admired, and I believe - with such a dazzling swordsmanship, you are definitely Someone worthy of my admiration!"

In other words.

The reason why she respects Liu Xia is because Liu Xia is willing to stand up, face the catastrophe of the tide, and save a large number of survivors.

But what really made her admire Liu Xia was the powerful swordsmanship he showed when he dealt with the three-headed devil dog, which was enough to kill the devil dog in seconds.

Aigre herself is a person who loves swordsmanship for ten minutes, so she will sympathize with those who also love swordsmanship and have excellent swordsmanship, and naturally she will also have a strong admiration for Liuxia who has such a terrible swordsmanship.

With the combination of the two, it was like a fanatical fan meeting an idol and a mad believer meeting a god, and Aigley's trust in Liuxia reached a level close to blindness.

"That's it, I understand."

Liu Xia raised her eyebrows slightly, understanding Aigre's brain circuit, "As for the Knight Commander, just watch carefully, then you'll know what I'm going to do with him, don't worry, I'll make him shut up. ."

"Yes."

Aigre immediately closed her mouth obediently and did not ask any further questions.

…………

the other side.

In an open space in the territory, the Knights were stationed here.

After being summoned by the leader of the knights, the knights who had been fighting the autumn wind outside also returned to the camp.

"Hahaha! Did you see the old immortal's expression just now? What did you say 'there are troops and knights stationed here, you can't mess around', but the old immortal never thought that we were the knights. people?"

"How many subhumans have you caught?"

"It's alright, I caught two, although they were both children, but it made no difference when the slaves were sold, they earned dozens of silver coins, and they were still shouting when they were locked in the slave car, 'The Lords will Save us', they still don't know that the lord who is willing to protect the demi-humans is dead?"

"The Asians are just animals. I really don't know what the lords here are thinking, but they are willing to protect the Asians."

Several knights in armor were chatting and laughing in the camp, showing off their achievements in this trip with pride.

They just went to the demihuman village by the sea.

The strength and aptitude of demi-humans generally surpass that of humans. Although other villages were completely destroyed, there are still a dozen or so survivors of the demi-human villages who escaped with their lives.

But the knights of the knights disguised themselves as thieves, entered the demi-human village, killed the worthless old demi-humans, captured all the valuable young demi-humans, and sold them to slave traders, thus making a fortune.

Asians are not people.

This is the general idea in this country.

They believe in "human supremacy" and believe that all creatures other than humans are livestock, even demi-humans and orcs who look close to humans are no exception. Weak demi-humans and orcs are no different from walking gold coins in their eyes.

They can be beaten, scolded and killed just like domestic animals.

They can be caught and sold as slaves, just like selling livestock.

This is the state of the country called "Melomagh".
