Black Knight From Blue Star

 The man looked at Hadi's face and then at his clothes: "You look like you, and your status in the caravan seems not to be low."

Hardy smiled: "A qualified negotiator must have enough etiquette and posture to satisfy customers."

"That's right." The man believed it. He returned to his seat and sat down, saying, "How much food do you have and what do you want to trade."

"A few hundred kilograms of flour and a hundred kilograms of dried meat." Hardy said very fluently: "What we want most is gold coins, followed by magic materials."

"I can understand gold coins." The man was a little curious: "Why do you need magic materials? Can we humans still use magic?"

Hardy shrugged: "In Basov City to the north, there is a Sun Saint. She builds towers of light everywhere and needs a lot of magic materials, so she is buying them at high prices."

"Are they those two buildings in the city?" The man pointed nonchalantly outside.

Hardy nodded.

"That's a bit interesting." The man said regretfully: "If I had known that the Sun Saint was in Basov City, I would have chosen the location there. I think the Sun Saint would have been more fun."

Hardy narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face became kinder.

At this time he asked: "I don't know your name yet, the new lord."

"You can call me Westover." The man said proudly. He pointed to the chair opposite and said in an unquestionable tone: "Sit down."

Hadi sat down as instructed.

"We don't have any gold coins here, but we still have a lot of magic materials." Weisif said arrogantly: "I think those magic materials are worth hundreds of kilograms of flour and more than a hundred kilograms of meat, what do you think? "

Hardy pretended to be embarrassed and said, "You have to watch it to know."

"I'll have someone take you over to have a look." After Weisfor said that, he stood up and was about to leave.

Hardy asked: "Lord Westover, what happened here, why did the citizens become like that? It was clear that the last time we came here, it was quite good."

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know." Wesif gave Hardy a cold look.

Hardy sighed softly and stood up.

At this time, he was about to draw his sword to kill, but a maid came next to him.

Weisfer pointed at Hardy and said to the maid: "Take him to the basement to have a look. Also, that little beast hasn't been fed for three days. Go and get something for it to eat."

Hardy's heart moved, and he temporarily put aside his thoughts of killing.

Then he followed the maid.

The maid was silent and walked very slowly. At the same time, her walking posture was also very strange. She walked like a foreigner, and she also twisted and turned. It was obvious that her legs were very inconvenient.

Hardy was behind and saw red or black marks on her neck.

He vaguely guessed something.

The two of them came to the basement from the side of the stairs.

This basement is not very big, and there is indeed a little magic material piled in it, but only a little.

Just this little thing, not to mention hundreds of kilograms of flour, can't even be exchanged for ten kilograms.

What really surprised Hardy was that there was a child sitting in the corner next to the magic material.

There were large shackles around her neck, almost as big as her body.

The ends of the shackles are fixed to the wall.

This child was very dirty, covered in feces and urine, black and yellow, and the stench could be smelled even from a distance.

After the maid came down, she ignored Hardy and went straight to the child.

She knelt in front of the child, and regardless of the filth on the child, she took out a small piece of bread from her clothes and handed it over.

"Miss, this is the food I earned today, please eat some."

The maid's voice was trembling and she begged softly.

Is this a little girl? Hardy walked over.

The little girl was motionless. Her eyes were open, but there was no sight distance, and her vision was divergent. It was obvious that her mental state was problematic.

Seeing that the little girl didn't respond, the maid wiped away her tears, put the bread into her mouth first, chewed it until it was rotten, then took it out and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth very gently.

The little girl's mouth just held the bread, and her mouth remained motionless.

"Just eat something, miss." The maid cried: "If you don't eat something, you will starve to death."

She cried very hard.

Hardy also came to the little girl at this time. He sensed it with his mental power and frowned subconsciously.

The little girl's soul entered a state of 'self-destruction'.

This kind of self-destruction is from a spiritual level and is difficult to intervene with physical means.

But there is good news. This self-destructive state has just begun. There are ways to prevent self-destruction in the E.P.R mental power system.

Hardy learned it too.

"Is this your young lady? She is about to die." Hardy asked the maid: "Those people hanging outside, including her..."

The maid turned around. She looked at Hadi with guarded eyes, and then retorted loudly: "The lady will be fine. Don't curse her."

"Why did this city become like this?" Hardy asked in a low voice: "Why did the former lord die? If you tell me, I can save your lady."

The maid's eyes were still full of distrust, but her expression seemed to have relaxed a lot.

Hardy's handsome face has a huge bonus in improving his 'favorability'.

Hardy stretched out his hand, and there was a ball of green energy on it: "I am a magician."

"Do we humans also have magicians?"

Hardy put away his magic and smiled and said nothing.

The maid was silent for a while. At this time, she had to believe in this only hope, and then said: "Okay, I hope you can fulfill your promise."

"The man named Weisfer is a distant relative of our lord." The maid's eyes were full of hatred: "For this reason, he became the Sheriff of the territory."

Hardy listened quietly.

"But I didn't expect that he actually colluded with the enemies outside, got some alchemy tools from the enemies that we couldn't figure out, and then spread them in the city." The maid said bitingly: "When our lord reacts , most of the people in the entire city have turned into beasts that only know how to eat people, and only a small number of people are still sensible. "

Hardy frowned slightly.

"While the city was in turmoil, Wesfer began to rebel." The maid's eyes were full of misery: "They killed many people and then arrested the lord. The lord was so miserable... He was abused by them until he became a human being. In the end, she was hung outside.”

"And where is the lord's husband?"

"He was long dead. He died a few years ago."

Hardy asked again: "Do you know who your enemy is?"

"The Lizardmen of the South."

Hardy said doubtfully: "As far as I know, lizardmen don't have this ability. Alchemy products that can poison the whole city cannot be produced by lizardmen. They don't have this ability."

"I only know so much!" the maid said in confusion.

Hardy nodded, he condensed a ball of water, and then poured it on the little girl.

After all, the other party's body is too dirty, and you will need to be in contact with the other party's body during treatment later.

Hardy is a bit of a germaphobe.

But as the water gradually poured over the little girl, Hardy's expression became surprised.

This girl looks familiar to him. (End of chapter)
