Chapter 295: Meeting an old friend in a foreign land
Two carriages were driving on a wide but uneven dirt road.
Ethan glanced at the sleeping elf, then turned his eyes to the window, his thoughts flying.
He finally decided to help the elf.
Of course, the reason why he was willing to help was not entirely because the elf was about to die, but there was another more important reason, that is, he needed to give himself an excuse.
In fact, Ethan felt compassion from hearing that the elf would be made into a potion.
Yes, compassion.
A state of mind that was laughed at by the whole world.
No matter which world it is, there is a widely spread idea: don't pity others.
Because there is a saying that sympathizing with others is equivalent to carrying the fate of others on your own shoulders.
At first glance, this seems to make sense.
But is it really the case?
People who agree with this sentence essentially build themselves on the basis of not needing help from others.
But who in the world does not need help from others?
Everyone may encounter difficulties, and powerful people can solve difficulties and troubles through transactions.
But what about those who have no money and power?
When you ignore others, please don't complain or ask for help when you are in trouble.
When you don't want to help the elderly, please be prepared for your own elderly to have no one to help them.
At the same time, be prepared that when you are old, you don't want others to help you.
Because you did that when you were young.
You can choose to hide in a corner and ignore everything, but don't teach others to ignore it, and don't laugh at those who choose to lend a hand.
Maybe the sunshine they radiate may shine on you and your family hiding in the dark corner.
Of course, to lend a hand, you must have a degree, pay attention to methods, and know how to protect yourself.
You can't help the elderly and be blackmailed!
And Ethan is thinking about how to solve this risk at this time.
After all, taking in an elf is not as simple as simply lending a hand. If people know about it, trouble will definitely come.
And it's not a simple trouble.
In addition to this risk, there is another trouble.
That is how to explain it to the Borgia family?
After all, when the agreement was made, it was agreed that Amy would be sent back alive. You can't go back on your word!
If a person loses even basic credit, what's the point of living?
However, Ethan immediately thought of a solution.
That is not to explain to the Borgia family, but to return the problem to them.
At the same time, arrange the elf to a place far away from his manor.
Thinking of this, Ethan got off his carriage and got on the carriage where Camilla was.
"Camilla, there is something I want to tell you."
"What is it? Your Excellency the Great Sword Saint."
"I had a private agreement with Your Excellency Turte before, and I promised him to protect Amy's life.
So after sending you to Newdaka, I will take Amy away first." Ethan said.
Camilla frowned immediately after hearing this, and a bad premonition rose in her heart.
"Is the Great Sword Saint going to send Amy directly back to our family's territory?"
"No, I will arrange a place for her to stay in Maro City. Please ask Lord Turte to pick her up then."
When Camilla heard this, she immediately thought that Ethan was greedy for the elf.
But even knowing this, she had no way to deal with it.
She didn't even dare to blame Ethan for not keeping his word.
Who would dare to anger this Great Sword Saint after seeing his strength?
But Camilla was unwilling to give up. How could she easily give away the family's precious property?
After hesitating for a while, he finally said: "The elf has signed a contract with Amy and is of no use to others."
Ethan smiled: "I know what you are thinking?
I think you won't believe what I say, but I still have to tell you that things are not what you think.
I also know that the elf is of no use to others, but I owe her a favor and I want to repay it.
As for the agreement, I will abide by it.
As long as Lord Turte comes, you can take Amy away at any time.
But please remember that it must be Lord Turte. I don't accept other people from your family."
After speaking, Ethan stopped the carriage and got off.
At this time, a carriage with the Holy Light Church logo and a team of cavalry drove over from the opposite side.
When passing by, Ethan glanced and happened to meet the eyes of the people in the carriage.
"Why is it him?"
Ethan frowned immediately.
The carriage also stopped after seeing Ethan, and then a fat man got off from it.
That's right, this fat man is the great swordsman of the Holy Light Church - Capudo.
"Isn't this Lord Ethan! Why did you come to this remote place?" Capudo teased, holding his belly.
Ethan smiled bitterly: "I heard that you were transferred to the border.
Although I am very happy to see you and want to chat with you more, I have something to do, so I can only do it next time.
Goodbye, Lord Capudo."
After saying that, Ethan turned around and left. He really didn't want to have any more contact with this Capudo.
However, he wanted to leave, but Capudo was not happy.
"My dear Lord Ethan, why are you in such a hurry to leave?
I just received intelligence that the Four Knights of Heavenly Punishment of the Witch Cult appeared in the Neutral City, and you happened to appear here, and you left in such a hurry.
Is there any hidden secret in this?
For example, colluding with the Witch Cult and intending to rebel. "
Ethan smiled: "You have been transferred from Maro City, but you still like to put the blame on me as always.
I am very curious, what good does this do for you?"
"No, no, no!" Capudo shook his finger and said: "This is not a poop, but a fact.
After all, your Lawson family has done similar things in Maro City.
And you and the Witch Cult just happened to appear here, anyone would think of this.
Do you think I am right? "
Ethan couldn't figure out what was wrong with this Caputo's brain.
In Maro City, everyone had conflicts of interest, so it was fine to fight.
But even in this remote place, he still kept harassing me. Isn't it a bit unreasonable?
We are all vested interests in this world. Isn't it good to make money in harmony?
Why must he fight like this?
What good will it do him to offend me?
Ethan was also angry, and said in a bad tone: "So what do you want?"
Caputo grinned: "I want to check your carriage, because I smelled an evil breath in your carriage.
Don't tell me there is none.
There is a strange little thing in the carriage in front, and the body that exudes evil is in the carriage behind. "
Ethan certainly knew that the things in the car could not be hidden from the perception of a great swordsman.
But how could he let Kapudo check it.
Not only could the things in the car not be seen in public, even if there was no problem, Ethan would not let him check it.
Because it was a matter of dignity.
Thinking of this, Ethan looked at the knights who came with Kapudo with cold eyes.
There were 14 people in total...
