holy flame

No one, including Samuel, expected that it was a woman who sneaked into their camp. Of course, this is not to say that they are sexist.In this era, there are many girl lords, female nobles, and even female monarchs in the upper class, and isn't there even a Lady Vera among the rich businessmen who escaped from Taran?But in the lower world, because of their inherent disadvantages in physical strength, and most of them lack of education, women are inevitably reduced to men's vassals.Even a small number of women among mercenaries or adventurers are often just trading as prostitutes under the name of warriors.

Coupled with the lady's previous unprofessional performance, it is hard to imagine that this lady is really here to spy or monitor their camp.So, she shouldn't have sent it up...?

Except for Zoe and Eric, the expressions on the faces of the other men were a little unnatural.Men's need for that aspect is indeed stronger than that of most women, but the few of them fought to the death along the way, and all their energy was spent on fighting, so no one really thinks about that aspect.

Fortunately, just when the men were at a loss, the lady spoke.

"Please don't get me wrong, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to join you."

"..." The scene was quiet for five seconds, and then they all went back to sleep in their tents, "You can go to sleep in my tent, Miss, we will take you to town tomorrow." Samuel and Julian, Rick shared a tent. The two were on duty today, and he was the only one in the tent, which happened to be used by this lady. He could sleep anywhere outside.

"No, no, please listen to me. I followed my father and elder brother to both sides of the Thorn Hills since I was a child. I am very familiar with the terrain there, and I can guide you!"

"Judging from your performance just now, you are not very used to living in the wild." Hearing what she said, Samuel stopped.

"I'm used to it, it's just...my eyes can't see at night."

This is quite understandable. Most ancient people in China and abroad suffered from night blindness, just like some birds, they became blind at night, which is why ancient night raids were often successful.

"Then what is your name, miss?"

"Anna."

"Okay, Anna, I will personally take you home tomorrow, go to sleep now."

"Why, you can take a child, but not me? Just because I'm a woman?"

"Yes."

"I thought paladins were different from others."

"Sorry to disappoint you."

"..."

The episode of the night passed quickly, and Samuel sent Anna back to town the next day as promised.

"Why did Samuel send her back in person? Although the girl is indeed very beautiful." Anna is a beautiful red-haired girl with exquisite appearance. I believe she will be an amazing girl in a linen dress.And Samuel's special treatment of her obviously made Julian vigilant - this is the biggest disadvantage of falling in love with someone of the same sex. Your rival in love may be anyone, of any gender!

"It's not that paladins can't marry wives." Frank smiled. At this time, he still treats Samuel like an elder to a junior. He is very happy to see Samuel have a love partner, especially when it is not the playboy Julian when.

"Samuel and that girl are impossible." Ryan patted Julian's shoulder comfortingly, "She wants Samuel to take her into the Thorn Hills, and you know that Samuel is impossible to agree. All you care about is chaos, Julian."

"I think I'm probably the most tragic man in the world. I no longer expect to have a bright future with him. As long as I can get a kiss before I die, I'm satisfied."

"Don't be so pessimistic, things will always turn around." Ryan patted Julian on the shoulder, comforting his friend.

Samuel, who just sent someone off, came back soon: "I have to leave tonight."

"Why?" Julian's reaction was a bit excessive, because he thought that Samuel was having a tryst with that girl.

"Those businessmen's invitations, a ball, and they proposed it in front of many people." Samuel showed a disgusted expression, "Those pretentious bastards, I can only agree to them."

Listening to Samuel's rare eventful demeanor, everyone could only pat him on the shoulder sympathetically.

At about three o'clock, Samuel, who was not dressed up, but in light armor, equipped with an epee, shield and longbow, left the camp. He said that he wanted to give some color to those who wanted to use him. !And because the gates of the town were closed after nightfall—which was why they left Anna sleeping in the camp for the day—Samuel could only come back tomorrow morning.

"Do you feel that something is wrong?" Julian suddenly seemed to have something to ask when the rest of the people were eating around the campfire.

Frank frowned. He wanted to ridicule Julian, but soon realized something: "Samuel's reaction seems a bit excessive?"

From the Taran riots, we can know that Samuel is not a heartless person. In fact, as long as we get along with him for a while, we can know that he just doesn't know how to express his feelings.But this time, he first yelled at the businessmen with a lively expression, and then he was fully armed and wanted to smash the scene.It wasn't so much trying to show his anger as Samuel was trying to hide something.

But what did he have to hide from others?Just want to go find that girl and have a great night out?With Samuel's character, it is impossible for him to hide this kind of thing.what else?

"Damn it! That guy went to die by himself!" Frank yelled suddenly, threw down the wooden bowl with his usual affairs left, got up and rushed towards his horse!The others also came to their senses, and did the same thing as Frank in an instant—because of the arrangement of the merchants, they would face a dead end, because the paladins would definitely fight the group of mysterious thieves.So Samuel dropped them...

They stopped before they reached the town, because a girl was walking on the way to camp with a lantern. She was Anna, the girl who had asked to join them yesterday.

"Lord Samuel asked me to deliver this letter to you."

The letter only had two sentences: If I am alive, I will send you Eagle news in four days.If I die, there will be no Eagle News.

"He took the simple map I drew and seven days of water." Anna added.
