Mount and Blade

Akasha's voice paused, and then she recounted the myth unique to the Vancekeri people.

"Hoff-see-glah, the storm god of Vanskerry. The Vanskerry people will call him Hoff-see-glah boldly. He is the god of storms. Legend has it that on the earth, he always incarnates as A strong gust of wind."

"In the extremely cold and barren Vanskerry Islands, the Vanskerry people are mostly engaged in fishermen, sailors and merchants who fight against the sea day and night. They pray for favorable winds that will allow them to reach their destination smoothly."

"The Vanskerri people also believe that if they die heroically on the battlefield, then they can come to Harv Sigela's Hall of Valor to enjoy an eternal feast, so the Vanskerri people will Don’t be afraid of death in battle.”

"It is said that only the bravest people can enter the "Hall of Valor" after death. Therefore, I want to prove my ability to my father, and I want him to be impressed by me and make him proud. ... I am a secret person. Entering the plundering fleet and coming to Barkley." As she spoke, Aikasha shed tears involuntarily. Green had never seen her shed tears on the battlefield, but she shed tears under this campfire dinner.

Osman, Delai, Pelli and others fell silent because they were fellow villagers on the same island. What happened in the three years that Aikasha left the island, in this barren land known for its bravery and competitiveness, is naturally self-evident.

"...and now I can never see him again."

She had willfully evaded the marriage arranged by her father for her, and because of this, her father had a conflict with a large tribe on another island. Even the queen would not interfere in conflicts arising from this reason.

Now, she is the sinner of the entire tribe.

"Why..."

She is really a willful girl who never considers the consequences. Green patted her shoulder. She probably just hoped to get her father's attention at that time.

"This is not entirely your fault. The Hag tribe in the east may have had such a plan for a long time." Osman leaned over to comfort her. At this time, the company of being unknown was better than anything else.

Wolf and the monk were also chatting, and they seemed to have a good emotional exchange. After all, they were two adults. What children and teenagers had experienced was already normal in their eyes.

Everyone has something they want to do, so what do they want to do in this world? As a traveler in another world, Green felt that he didn't seem to have many desires. Maybe he needed time to think clearly.

Green's eyes fell on the small box containing Ali's skeleton. Probably, what he hopes is to save more people like Ali and bring hope and peace to a land that is in conflict and chaos.

【Sword Style】

Cady's face was very gloomy. Since returning, he has locked himself in his room to study the latest information.

Green, who had followed Cady for a year, naturally felt something bad in his heart. It was best not to get in trouble with him at this time, otherwise he would be the next one to die.

Everyone was silent.

But apparently, Cady soon had an arrangement for Green.

At night, Green was awakened by the bite of a sandworm in his neck, and was taken away by Cady during the night. Bazisuo was not selected for this mission due to fever and dehydration after seasickness, and was still asleep.

Green was taken alone to a jungle far away from the fortress by Cady. He obviously had an unusual task to do.

The nightingale's call is carried through the forest delicately, and it seems to be ordinary, but when you listen carefully, it is different and has subtle differences. Only those who have been doing espionage work in Joda for a long time can know its meaning.

Several black shadows emerged from the trees, quietly, and the dark gray furs of wild wolves and wild boars emerged from the shadows. This made Green feel a little nervous, and he couldn't help but touch the flying robe he carried around his waist. knife.

It wasn't until his vision became clear that he could see that they were actually humans wearing animal furs.

"Madwu Xiu, he is one of the parts of the mission." Cady slowly spoke to the person in the shadow.

"Got it." A man with a strong local accent stepped out of the shadows. His appearance was even different from that of many Juda people, and there were streaks of blue paint on his face as tattoos to increase the concealment effect.

"Go." Cady pushed Green out, and he was weaving a corner of his plan.

Although his heart was full of confusion and anxiety about the unknown, it was a pity that he had no choice at the moment. Green had to follow the man named Madwu Xiu. After realizing it, he felt a strong wind on the back of his neck. Unfortunately, his body His sensitivity was no longer enough to avoid this heavy palm.

"Uh..." A strong feeling of dizziness came from the back of his neck. Green immediately passed out and was taken away by Madwuxiu in the dark.

............

Green was taken like a sack by Madwu Xiu to the east coast of the mountain forest. They would enter the interior of the Grand Duchy of Grant from the ice-free port of Outer Mountain and head to Grant's capital, Norudkahuati.

...By the way, complete the secret mission assigned by Grand Duke Grant.

............

When he woke up again, Green was already in a dark and small dungeon.

The smell of blood...the smell of wet earth...

In other cells, pairs of eyes were staring at the new "partners".

They were all captured children, sons of commoners in the Principality of Grant, or... they were still wandering the streets a few days ago.

This is the narrow secret passage connecting Grand Duke Grant's bedroom in the royal city to the outside world, and those children of the same age as Green were secretly captured as the next generation of the "Shadow Hand Clan".

"Please... Ah!!"

The heart-wrenching pleading of the girl and the sound of the whip lashing the flesh came faintly from the depths of the dungeon in the secret room.

"Ah!!!"

The subtle sizzling sound of the tongs and the branding iron burning the skin echoed throughout the passage along with the girl's screams.

This... where...?

Green couldn't help but ask in his heart. As his body regained consciousness, his face was finally separated from the wet ground, and his weapons were gone. Only thin clothes and linen pants were left, and even his boots were gone.

The dungeon at night was not much warmer than outside. The dampness doubled the feeling of coldness, and his hands and feet were cold.

The screams of the girl outside the cell seemed to be to the right of Green's position, deeper in the cell. The man's twisted and cruel laughter was as terrifying as a demon crawling out of the interlayer of hell.

Gradually, under the torture of the man, the girl's voice became weaker and weaker, and she even fainted and was awakened by cold water, making incomprehensible mumblings, as if someone had strangled her throat.

"... Humph, so boring!!"

"Madwushu, go hang this boring bitch on the arched door of the city's main square for public display!!"
