I became a mage and was recruited by the lord as his son-in-law

After hearing Beth's answer, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He helped his wife and daughter up, took out the cloth in his hand, and said to his daughter:

"Alice, Daddy will take you away from here, but you have to cover your eyes, okay?"

The little girl shook her head in fear and said:

"No, I want daddy, I want mommy."

Youlun glanced at his wife, and his wife looked at Beth, only to see that Beth's gray robe was covered with undried blood, and she realized something.

She picked up the child and comforted him:

"Mom will hold you. What if you cover your eyes and sleep? When you wake up, we will be at our new home."

Youlun went up and said a few words to coax the child.

After all, the child is still young, and she is a girl, so she will be obedient once coaxed.

Youlun covered the child's eyes with a cloth, kissed the child's forehead, and then kissed his wife. Then he turned back to Beth and said:

"Let me lead the way from now on."

Beth nodded. She didn't dislike this man. Although this middle-aged man was a little cowardly, he never gave up his love for his family because of the troubled times.

He took on the responsibility, but unfortunately his talent was low.

Beth sighed inwardly, watched the couple leave the study, and followed them out.

When she reached the stairs, her wife's face was full of fear. She covered her mouth, not daring to make any sound.

She hardly dared to take a step. The ground was littered with body parts and the unwillingness of soldiers before their death. Blood had covered every open space.

The woman resisted the urge to vomit and followed her husband.

"Mom, why are you always shaking, and why does it smell so bad here?"

The smell of a corpse is naturally unpleasant; it is something that is ingrained in human nature.

The woman suppressed her fear. She couldn't pass on the fear to her child.

"It's nothing, it's just that you're too heavy and mom is a little tired."

"Then I'll come down and walk on my own."

"No! No!"

The wife screamed, she hugged her daughter tightly and forced herself to calm down:

""No, Mom...

"Let me hug you."

The woman looked back and saw that it was the knight who had just spoken. He had a flat chest and was obviously a male knight, but he was not tall and did not look very old.

He draped a curtain over himself to hide the blood.

Looks very safe.

"This……"

"Okay, let the Knight protect the child."

Youlun trusts Beth very much. He believes in this knight who rescued his entire family.

"Ok."

The wife handed the child to Beth, who took the child. A golden branch extended from her palm. The branch was very small and was deliberately hidden by her so that no one could see it.

The branch pierced the child's body. Beth's voice was still hoarse, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman, or an age, but her tone was very gentle:

"Alice, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Alice just felt like she was thrown into a warm embrace, just like wrapping herself in a blanket and snuggling by the fire to keep warm in winter.

Warmth and security. Although her eyes were still wrapped in cloth, Alice felt as if she had entered heaven. The person holding her seemed to be the kindest angel.

"Uncle Knight, I'm not afraid."

Uncle...Beth's mentality almost collapsed.

The mother at the side thought that Alice was impolite. Although the knight in front of her had a hoarse voice, his back was not hunched and he was obviously not very old.

"Alice, you are so rude. Call me brother."

"Oh, Brother Knight."

Beth: “…”

"Let's get out of here quickly. Knight support should be arriving soon."

Beth is numb now, she is already an emotionless knight.

"Yes Yes."

Youlun turned around quickly, took his wife's hand and helped her down the stairs.

There were still corpses at the bottom of the stairs, even more than on them, but with her husband's support and without the pressure of the children, the wife was very calm.

Without causing any further trouble, Youlun led the three of them around the crowded streets and jumped out of the rear window of the cabin.

This is the alley where Beth trapped the soldiers. These soldiers have all been dealt with by Beth in a rather cruel way.

Youlun was horrified, but also felt extremely relieved. With a knight like this, the possibility of him and his family leaving was increased.

The four of them didn't dare to take the main road, so they kept walking through the alley behind the house.

The environment in the alley is quite dirty, and the roadside is full of traces left by various uncultured people.

When he reached the end of an alley, Youlun suddenly stopped. In front of him was a main street. Although there were not many people, there were many small vendors.

Youlun poked his head out and checked carefully. When he saw that there were no guards, he tore off a few pieces of cloth from his body and said:

“My friend’s house was just across the street, and we crossed the street covering our faces.”

The wife nodded, covered her face with the cloth, and also covered the child's face.

Just at this time, a large horse-drawn carriage passed by, pulling wheat that was piled more than two meters high.

"Now."

Beth quickly greeted the two of them, took a step forward, and walked to the back of the carriage first.

Youlun had been a soldier after all, and he knew that this was a rare opportunity, so he pulled his wife and hid their bodies.

"It's the small building in front."

Youlun said.

Beth looked at the small building. It was a three-story villa. In front of the villa was a small garden of more than 100 square meters. The garden was surrounded by a fence and the gate of the fence was also quite perfunctory.

Beth looked a little solemn. This man was obviously very rich, but he didn't take any protection, not even a guard.

There is only one possibility, the owner of the villa is very confident in his own strength and has a very high status.

"let's go."

Youlun did not give Beth time to continue thinking. He was very anxious, and the desire to protect his wife and daughter occupied his whole being.

Beth was holding the child, she had no choice, they had followed the carriage here, the alley behind them was already far away, she had no way to retreat.

Youlun brought his wife and Beth held the child.

The four of them pushed open the gate and walked directly to the villa.

Youlun knocked on the door and looked behind her anxiously. Their sneaky actions had attracted people's attention, and someone was already observing here.

"John, open the door, John, open the door..."

The door suddenly opened inward, and the person inside pulled Youlun in directly.

The owner of the house stood behind the door. He was wearing a high-class knight's rune armor, a cloak covering his face, and a long sword at his waist.

"Come in, quick!"

Beth breathed a sigh of relief and followed Youlun's wife into the three-story villa.

"Youlun, you don't know, I almost went to the guards to find you."

Youlun hugged his friend, his heart deeply moved. He knew that his friend always kept his word. John was an orthodox God-given knight.

Beth put the child down and untied the cloth from the child's eyes. Only then did she have time to look at the man named John.
