“…… Now, do you understand?
It's a long way home. ”Owen said."
Even so, I'm going back."
Ellie Renee stubbornly said, "As long as I know the general direction, I will definitely be able to return to the Venora Forest, and I will set off on my own tomorrow." ”The Forest of Venora is generally referred to as the Kingdom of Venola, as almost all of the elves live in the forest.Ellie Renee knew that she was lucky to be rescued, and she didn't expect the other party to continue to help and get no benefit."
You're going back alone?"
Owen couldn't help but shake his head, and said unfavorably: "Once your identity is revealed on the way back, you will definitely be caught and sold by other humans." ”The other party was right, but Ellie Renee would not change her mind easily."
I'll take care of myself, and I won't bother you.""
If you could protect yourself, you wouldn't be sold here, would you?"
Owen's words mercilessly poked Ellie Renee's sore spot, and also angered her a little."
And what do you want me to do?""
I hope you can follow our army back to the border town and stay there for a while."
Hearing this, Ellie Renee suddenly became alert and questioned, "Why did I go to Frontier Town with you?"
You don't want to lock me up too, do you?
”"I'm not going to do that.If you want to go home, I won't force you to keep you. ”Owen explained: "You were asked to stay in Frontier for a while so that the Templars who came to their aid this winter would follow the Templars to the Holy Church of Caleb after they had survived the winter safely, and then the Church would send you home." ”After a pause, he added: "Frontier Town is the town within my territory, and there are lizardmen in the town, and my people are highly accepting of the subhuman race, so you can rest assured.And the church is also an object of trust, racial equality is their philosophy, and it will surely send you back to the forest of Vinora safely. ”This was the safest thing Owen could think of, and it was clear that a powerful church could do better than sending someone to escort Ellie Renee back."
You ......"
Ellie Renee looked at Owen in disbelief and wondered, "Why are you helping me?"
What's in it for you?
”"Why do I have to do it to help you?
Can't it be just a pure kindness that wants to help you?
”Owen asked rhetorically."
Aren't you all ......"
"Aren't you all treacherous, cunning, and selfish?"
Owen said what she wanted to say.Ellie Renee nodded.How can I say it?
Humans have indeed done a lot of "good" things to the subhuman race in the past, which has led to their generally poor evaluation of humans."
There are people among human beings, I don't deny it, but you can't generalize that all human beings are like that.Like you, we have both good and bad people. ”"......"
Ellie Renee fell silent, and what the other party said was not unreasonable.It's just that after she was captured by humans, she traveled to many places, experienced various things, and saw too many dark sides of humans, and it was still a little difficult to believe in humans at once.Seeing this, Marpel stepped forward and persuaded, "Ellie Renee, please trust Lord Owen, he will be able to send you home safely." ”After much deliberation, Ellie Renee finally nodded in agreement."
Okay, I'll go with you to that frontier town.""
It's for the best.You'll still have to stay in the castle for a few days, though, and I've just taken the Fortress of Dongsheng, so there's a lot to take care of. ”With that, Owen turned around and prepared to leave the room, when Marpel followed closely."
Well, wait a minute!"
Ellie Renee hurriedly called out to Owen.Owen stopped, looked back and asked, "Is there anything else?"
”"I just had a bad attitude towards you, and I apologize to you.And ......"
Ellie Renee bowed, "thank you." ”"You should be more grateful to Marpel than to me."
Owen smiled, "She really wants you to come home safely, and that's why I'm here to talk to you." ”Turning her gaze to Marpel, Ellie Renee bowed again."
Thank you very much, Marpel.""
I just learned what happened to you and wanted to help you."
Marpel modestly responded.Next, Mapel went to inform the rest of the imprisoned human women, telling them that they could follow the army to the border town and start a new life.Upon hearing the news, they were all grateful and expressed their gratitude to Marpel.Owen learns that Duke Eddie has just woken up and immediately orders the soldiers to bring him over, and it is time for trial.Yuchina and Fanny were also called, the former to discern the lie, and the latter to see what punishment Duke Eddie would be sentenced to.During the interrogation, Owen focused on asking Fanny's friend Ann Li about it.Knowing that it was late last fall, Ann Li tried to convey the news of Frontier Town to Bray.This angered Duke Eddie, so he sent someone to secretly kidnap Ann Li, and then found a group of people to gang rape her in the dungeon, with the aim of destroying Ally on a mental level.In other words, Anli was mad because the incident in Frontier Town angered Duke Eddie.In this regard, Owen can be described as quite angry.Listening to Duke Eddie's confession, Fanny almost rushed up and burned him to death with fire magic.Luckily, it didn't happen, and Fanny suppressed her anger.Owen then interrogated Duke Eddie about his other crimes.After the trial, Owen stood up and announced the verdict, sentencing Duke Eddie to be beheaded, and executed in public in the square two days later.Knowing that he was going to die, Duke Eddie fainted in fright.Owen had no choice but to order several soldiers to drag the condemned prisoner back to the dungeon.Seeing Duke Eddie being dragged away, Owen walked down and said to Fanny, "Duke Eddie has received the punishment he deserves, now, you should relieve your hatred, right?"
”"Thank you, Lord Lord, for upholding justice for my friend Ann Li."
Fanny said gratefully."
That's right."
Owen remembered that all the other women in custody had been properly arranged, but Ellie had not, and asked, "Fanny, how are you going to settle your friends?"
”After thinking about it, Fanny replied, "Lord Lord, can I take An Li back to Frontier Town?"
I've received a lot of help from her when I was at the Eastrise Fortress, and now it's my turn to repay her. ”"Yes."
Immediately afterwards, Owen changed his words: "However, your friend is a clergyman of the church, do you have to go to the church to ask the archbishop's permission first?"
”"That's right."
Fanny said suddenly.The church wasn't too far from the castle of the lords, so Owen went with Fanny to the church.With the help of Owen's identity, Fanny soon met with the archbishop.Hearing of Ann Li's news, the archbishop was surprised and at the same time very sad.He said that Ann Li was very devout to the gods and was a good priest.Last year, I disappeared for several months inexplicably, and I sent someone to look for it for a long time, but I didn't expect to be kidnapped by Duke Eddie.The archbishop didn't think long before agreeing to Fanny's request.The main reason is that there is still a shortage of manpower on the church side, and the archbishop is worried that An Li will not be well taken care of here, so he has to ask Fanny.This lord is backed by a tech tycoon
