Master Overlord - Chapter 396
“Elif.”
The sudden call frightened the two people talking in the tent. Basha immediately grabbed her dagger, looked at the vague figure reflected on the tent, and turned her head to stare at elif uneasily.
“Don’t be afraid,” said the figure outside elif’s account, “Lord pace, if you have anything, please talk in the tent.”
Pace gave orders to the little man and the two, then lowered his head and drilled into the narrow space in the tent. In the dark, he glanced at Basha, who was tight on the bed.
“Please sit down,” invited elif. “This place is so small that you can’t stand upright.”
In the wild people’s team, except for the tents of TUTA and the leaders of various tribes, most of the other tents are very small, which are only built by a few pieces of wood, linen or animal skins. More wild people simply wrap their clothes and sleep directly against carriages or horses.
Pace was not polite. He sat down directly on elif’s bed, looked at bazaar in front of him and said, “I can easily subdue you before you pull out your weapon.”
Bazaar was stunned, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes.
“Put your weapons away quickly. This is Lord pace kewilt, the son of the Duke of kewilt in the north.” elif reminded bazaar and immediately explained to pace, “here, women are slaves of wild people, especially the women in danze. She is a poor man I saved. She is full of vigilance towards everyone. Please make atonement.”
Staring at pace, bazaar nodded defensively, her right hand still tightly hidden behind her.
“Lord pace, what must be the matter with your late night visit?” elif asked. “By the way, have you seen those giants today? You must be surprised by their existence!”
“Elif, we are old acquaintances, aren’t we?”
“Of course! You have protected my life and goods several times. If there is anything I can help, please don’t mention it.”
“That’s good,” said pace, glancing aside at bazaar and staring into his eyes. “Tell me who she is.”
Hearing the speech, elif was a little stunned and probably guessed some reasons in his heart. “It seems that you have seen not only giants but also villains today. Lord pace, I don’t want to deceive you. This lady is the daughter of Marquis Bilson, Miss bazaar Bilson.”
“Who is the one next to the king of the wild people?”
“Her name is Issa. She is Miss Basha’s maid. They exchanged identities with each other.”
“Maid?” pace questioned. “She’s not like a maid.”
“That’s what she used to be. As you can see, she is now a qualified wife and trusted by TUTA.” seeing pace frowning and thinking, elif continued, “My Lord, although you don’t know what gulbin said to you, you must not believe him. You should have heard about his deeds. Such a person can do anything to achieve his own goal.”
“What about you?” pace asked. “What’s your purpose? As a shrewd businessman, why take such a risk? Elif, who are you?”
“If you mean saving Miss bazaar,” replied elif, “Marquis Bilson still owes me gold coins, but he has been killed, and miss bazaar is the only heir to the family. If you mean guiding the wild people, it’s just forced. I’m not anyone. I’m just a businessman from beginning to end.”
“Merchant…” pace whispered, looking aside at bazaar. “Your brother dimad Bilson is still alive, and now he’s in the trik family.”
“You… What are you talking about?!” bazaar changed her look, loosened her grip on the dagger and grabbed pace’s sleeve. “You just said my brother was still alive? That’s what you said, right? Dimad, he’s really alive? Tell me, please!”
“He is indeed alive.”
Pace’s positive tone instantly made bazaar cry like rain, covering her face with both hands.
“Thank you, thank you, sir pace,” she said with a sob. “You know, this is the only good news I’ve heard since the savage attack. I thought he was dead… It’s great that dimad is still alive!”
The sobbing bazaar noticed the frowning elif and hurriedly said, “elif, don’t worry, as long as you can safely return me to avery, I promise you nothing less, and my brother will even give you more!”
“Lord pace,” said elif with a frown, “I’m not questioning your news, but I’m a little puzzled. When did you say dimad Bilson was in the trik family?”
“A few days ago, it is estimated that he is still in the trik family.” pace looked at the puzzled bazaar and said, “Miss bazaar, I’m very sorry. I have a very bad news for you.”
“Yes… Is it dimad? He was seriously injured? It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter! As long as he is still alive, even…”
“No!” pace couldn’t bear to interrupt. “Your brother is fine. Nothing happened.”
“Then there’s no bad news. Besides death, what can be more…” bazaar suddenly stopped talking and looked at pace’s eyes and gradually became flustered. “You, you haven’t leaked my identity? No, no, you… How can you do that!”
Looking at her frightened face, she grabbed the dagger again and aimed it at her bazaar. Pace looked pitifully and shook his head, as if he were saying a eulogy: “Miss bazaar, I’m afraid it’s hard for you to go back to averier. It no longer belongs to your Bilson family. Not long ago, the king issued a royal decree, deprived your family of the title of nobility and fiefdom, and gave averier county to the God of light. Now it is independent of the kingdom.”
The dagger slipped from her hand, and bazaar slowly lowered her arm with a dull look. At this moment, she was like a puppet who had been taken away by the devil. She had neither tears nor redundant reaction. Even elif, who had guessed, never thought it would be like this.
The long silent atmosphere in the tent made the little man guarding outside cautiously probe the probe. Seeing that the three people were as motionless as stone carvings, he immediately called. After pace waved, he retracted his head safely.
“Miss bazaar.” pace organized language and took the lead in breaking the silence, “If you want to cry, you can cry, which may make you feel better… In addition, there may be a turn for the better. Because of the land grant, the South has declared war on the East and the court. If the South can win, Duke olivido will certainly take back everyl from the God of light, and maybe return it to your Bilson family at that time.”
Bazaar looked up at pace and said, “do you believe these words?”
Pace was silent.
Even if the South wins, how can the Duke of the South return averier county to the Bilson family.
