Translator: _Leo_ Editor: Kurisu
The royal knights finally arrived, they searched the house and took away all the valuables . It took them less than 30 minutes to finish the job .
They packed up the valuables and put them on the horses . The loyal knights left the area quickly .
Fra waited for a while and slowly climbed down a rope by the edge of the roof . She sneaked into the house and rushed out of it several minutes later . There were tears on her face and blood on her outfit .
There were several old books and a damaged crossguard sword in her arms . Those were the treasures she collected over the years .
There was a white circle around the house; she also saw a white flag waving on the grassy ground .
Fra tried her best not to cry out loud . She looked around with a confused look on her face; she had no idea what she should do .
*************************
Angele won two games in a row; Vivian was upset about it . She finally let Angele leave after Angele lost two games to her intentionally .
He walked down the street and headed to his shop . The people on the street were all chatting with fear on their faces .
Angele heard words like "church", "white flag", and "knights" .
"Hey, Andre!" a man with a hoe in the hand greeted Angele . "Do you know that the knights went to the Mayor's house?"
"Hey, Misho . What did he do?" Angele was a bit surprised .
"I heard that they were assisting wizards . I already saw the white circle and the white flag around his house"—Misho lowered his voice—"the white circle and the flag mean that the Mayor is considered as a traitor, his whole family will be wiped out!"
"You heard it too?" a young girl that was just passing by interrupted .
"I heard that the white flag appeared at noon . I think they were already executed . "
"That's sad… Loria was a good mayor . I didn't expect him to be with the wizards, maybe they were the ones who built the house on the hill…" Misho made his voice even lower .
"Also, the people who got lost over the years were probably captured by the wizards . The wizards can turn them into frogs and insects!" A middle-aged woman also joined the conversation .
They walked as they chatted . The Mayor treated the local people well but he was then turned into an evil being that helped the wizards .
Angele sighed as he listened to the conversation; he thought of Fra right away—they just met in the morning .
He knew what the royal knights and holy knights were up to . The wizards already told him what they learned by letters, the people with power were just trying to maximize their profit by conducting the wizard hunt .
"No one has found Tom yet, the kid is now wanted . You can get 20 gold coins if you can capture him alive… That's about 2000 silver coins… I don't know why they are going so hard on a child…" Misho shook his head .
"If the Loria Family is helping the wizards, the kid must be evil too, he must know that his father was dealing with the wizards," the middle-aged woman interrupted . "That's a lot of money you know, 20 gold coins will keep my family fed for over 30 years…"
Angele was not interested in the conversation, he turned left and entered a quiet alley when they were still talking .
There were two garbage bins in the alley and the fermented fruits around the bins made the air stink .
He heard footsteps as he started heading to his shop again .
*Kta Kta Kta*
Angele turned his head around and saw a team of guards patrolling the area . The guards were all drunk heads that barely worked before the knights came . They were all going after the Mayor's girl .
"You'll get 10 gold coins if you can tell us where Tom is!" the guards shouted as they ran .
The sentence was repeated numerous times and finally stopped after the guards moved to the next area . Angele started walking again, he suddenly stopped when he passed the two garbage bins . He opened the garbage bin on his left quickly .
There was a young girl inside, the girl had a pair of clear blue eyes on her dirty face . She was staring at Angele in fear and there was an egg-shaped birthmark on his forehead .
Angele looked at the girl's eyes, they were filled up with desperation, fear, and pain .
"Tom?" He opened his mouth . "No, I mean, Fra, right? You were in my shop this morning . "
Fra heard the familiar and gentle voice, she could no longer hold it and the tears started running down her cheeks again . The tears left two lines on her face due to the dirt .
Angele did not know how he could make Fra feel better .
He patted Fra's head and removed a piece of garbage from her hair .
"You can go with me if you have nowhere else to go . "
Fra moved out of the garbage bin carefully and stood in front of Angele . Her body stank and the flies were flying around her .
"Let's go, you're now a worker in my shop and your name is Fra . I assume only your parents and I know this name . " Angele looked at Fra and Fra nodded .
He did not care that she was in a garbage bin, Angele quickly took off his coat and gave it to Fra .
"You were from a different town, right? I think you'll need this since this area is cold . " Angele covered the girl's body with the coat, he grabbed her hand and they walked to the other side of the alley .
The church and the knights were going after Angele but the Mayor's family was caught in the middle of it . Angele was a selfish wizard but he still decided to take care of Fra .
Angele watched Fra grew up and liked the girl . Fra was one of the few customers that would actually buy his items .
They returned to Angele's shop without being noticed .
Angele asked her to take a shower in the backyard before the night fell .
The energy wave from the center of the town was getting stronger and stronger . It was strengthened after the black robes from the church entered the town .
Angele was not worried that they could find him and Vivian . They were high-rank wizards and they could easily hide their energy waves .
What he needed to do was to eliminate all those who disturbed his peaceful life this night .
*CHI*
The silver blade sparked on the whetstone .
Angele sat in the backyard with a silver crossguard sword in his hand . He was slowly sharpening the blade using a rectangular whetstone .
He lifted the crossguard sword after sharpening it for a while and put it into a bucket of clean water .
Angele washed the blade and carefully returned the sword into the sheath on his belt .
He stood up and looked at Fra, who was sleeping in the room . Angele released some dark-red light using his finger . The light quickly entered Fra's nose .
It helped the girl sleep better .
"I shall teach those bastards some manners…" Angele put his hand on the handle of his sword .
"It has been a while since the last time I showed my sword skills . " He decided to handle them using the sword skill set he perfected .
*CHI*
Angele disappeared into the darkness .
*******************************
Angele's house on the hill .
The old house was almost shaking in the chilling wind .
It was dark inside the house and the walls of the house were covered with green vines .
Two groups of people walked out of the forest . The people in the front were wearing black robes and black cloaks . The other group of people was knights that were fully equipped .
The leader of the black robes looked at the wooden house .
"That's the ghost house you talked about?" There was a serious expression on his face .
"Yeah," a black robe behind the leader responded .
The leader looked at the knights .
"Alice, surround the house . You're the leader of the royal knights and you're a holy knight . You have the right to give orders . "
"As you wish . " Alice nodded .
"Are you going to enter the house? I don't think it's necessary . We can just burn the house down and the thing inside will come out . "
"Good idea . Let's do it . "
The black robes and the knights separated . They quickly surrounded the small house .
The leader of the black robe grabbed a torch and waved it around .
The flame quickly lighted the wooden house up .
"The God is watching us…" The leader prayed and threw the torch to the house .
****************************
In the forest on the hill, Angele was running to his house at full speed, he was wearing a tight leather suit .
He walked around the town but did not find any enemy . He then realized that they were heading to his house so he quickly rushed to the hill .
Suddenly, he stopped as he saw the bright light from the flames on the hill .
"They already arrived…"
He drew the crossguard sword slowly and drew a cross in the air .
*BAM*
He stabbed the crossguard sword into the ground like lightning .
*BOOM*
The land started vibrating and it felt like that the whole hill was shaking .
A large black fissure was created by the sword and quickly moved to the people who were around the house . The black fissure looked like a humongous snake .
*Crack*
The land under Angele's feet cracked, he jumped into the air and turned into a black string, charging to the leader of the black robes .
The leader turned around as the orange light from the flames illuminated his wrinkled face .
