After the transaction, the slave master gave two carriages to Heath for free, and arranged two coachmen to send Heath back to his manor.
After a while, on a country road leading to the manor.
Squeak, squeak. The sound of the wheels rolling echoed in the forest.
The two carriages drove on the dirt road one after the other.
One was a freight-type carriage. The carriage was a large shed. There were basically no chairs in it. It was usually used to pull goods.
The other was a regular private carriage. Behind the driver’s seat of the soft leather sofa was a large black carriage. The carriage was carved with exquisite patterns, looking very noble.
At this moment, in the carriage of the black carriage.
Heath was sitting on the soft leather sofa. On his left and right sat a young girl. He held a young girl in his lap. On the opposite sofa sat five young girls. This personally explained what it meant to have warm and soft jade in one’s arms.
Actually, the slave master’s arrangement was to have all the girls squeeze into the carriage at the back. This black carriage was prepared for him alone. However, Heath felt that it would be too crowded for the girls, so he let some of the girls sit in his carriage.
Anyway, he couldn’t use that much space by himself, could he?
“Huff, huff…”
In the narrow carriage, the concentration of carbon dioxide was relatively high, so there wasn’t much space to move around. Most of the girls had already fallen asleep, and light breathing sounds could be heard from time to time in the carriage.
Heath caressed a girl lying on top of him with nothing to do, while enjoying the scenery outside the window.
At this time, the sun had completely set, and night had fallen on the human world.
The weather today was not too good. The sky was covered with thick dark clouds. There were not many stars left, and most of the moon was covered, making the light very dim.
The windproof diamond-shaped lantern hung at the front of the carriage, releasing a weak light that illuminated the road ahead.
The carriage passed through one forest after another in the night.
“Where are we going?” At this moment, a crisp voice broke the silence in the carriage.
Heath turned his head. It was the blonde girl sitting opposite him.
He did not know what the girl was thinking, but in the end, she walked out of the cage and boarded Heath’s carriage.
Heath replied, “Back to my manor.”
The girl asked doubtfully, “I remember that you should be from Helan, Knight of Reiden, Your Excellency, The Pitch-Black Sword?”
It was not a memory, but a confirmation.
‘The young black-haired knight with superb swordsmanship has won the championship of the Martial Arts Competition!’
After the Allund Martial Arts Competition ended, Heath had become a well-known figure in the area. People even gave him the title of The Pitch-Black Sword.
Handsome, young, and with superb swordsmanship, Heath had become the dream lover of thousands of young girls for a long time.
During the competition, Heath had personally put on the Garland of Victory and won the title of ‘Queen of Love and Beauty’. Tiffany had long been captivated by Heath.
Therefore, after the competition ended, she did everything she could to investigate the identity of Heath. She used all the power she could muster and even asked The Follower, Knight Gallio.
Although she couldn’t find out his identity in detail, she still found out about his origin, Reiden.
Heath smiled. “I’m from all over the world.”
Tiffany frowned and couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you?”
Before the tournament, no one had heard of this young man. He was just like those legendary Wizards who suddenly appeared in people’s sight.
After the tournament, he became famous throughout the world, but he refused to be recruited by all the nobles, including her father. Then he mysteriously disappeared, just like those mysterious Wizards.
The only thing that could be confirmed was that he definitely had an extraordinary identity.
This was because when she mentioned Heath’s characteristics to Knight Gallio and asked about his identity, she clearly saw a slight change in Knight Gallio’s expression. Although that Lord always denied it, she was sure that he must know something.
To be able to make his followers strictly keep secrets, it was enough to prove that his background must be extraordinary.
Tiffany said, “You… aren’t a Wizard, right?”
Heath smiled and said, “Yes.”
Tiffany was silent for a moment.
‘I’m really crazy. How could I associate him with those cloaked monsters?’
She laughed dryly. “Ha, ha, thank you for your humor.”
Tiffany was a little anxious since she couldn’t find out Heath’s identity. She wanted to find out his identity and see if she could get help from him as a noble.
But now that she didn’t know his identity, she didn’t know if the noble’s rules were applicable to him.
‘Forget it, let’s give it a try first.’
After organizing her words in her heart, Tiffany said, “My name is Tiffany Lambert, and the Gem Count is my father.”
Heath said, “Oh, nice to meet you.”
Tiffany frowned. As one of the top nobles in the Helan Kingdom, even His Majesty the King would not have such a cold reaction.
She braced herself and said, “I hope to get your help. I guarantee that the Lambert family…”
Heath interrupted, “I refuse.”
Tiffany said, “You didn’t even hear me finish. I swear that if you send me to the hands of a Knight loyal to me, my family will give you a generous reward.”
She actually wanted to say that if he forced her to do something, he would gain nothing. He would only gain the wrath of the Lambert family.
Heath shook his head. “I’m very busy. I don’t have time.”
Tiffany did not speak anymore. She would think of a way slowly.
The carriage drove into the depths of the forest.
Soon, they arrived at the manor.
“Sir, there’s a manor in front. Do you think this is it? This should have been the Orell Manor in the past.”
“This is the place. Thank you. Alright, ladies, we’re here.”
“Ah, are we here, Master?”
“Wake up quickly. Master wants us to get off the carriage.”
After getting off the carriage, Heath casually threw two gold coins to the two coachmen and led the ladies into the manor amidst the coachmen’s gratitude.
“Master, is this your manor?”
“Yes.”
“It’s so big. Master, are you a noble?”
“No.”
“It’s so dark… I’m a little scared. Can I… Can I hold you, Master?”
“Of course.”
It was already late at night, and only a few rays of moonlight shone down, shining on the trees in the garden. The shadows of the trees swayed, and they bared their fangs and brandished their claws as if they were devils.
Wuuu! Wuuu!
The night wind blew through the treetops, making a ‘wuuu, wuuu’ sound. It was more like the screams of devils.
There was not a single person in the manor in Norda. When paired with these ghostly shadows and ghostly cries, it looked even more eerie.
Many of the girls were scared out of their wits. They could not help but hug Heath tightly, and everyone huddled together.
Seeing the pale faces of the girls, Heath, who was huddled in the middle like a group of stars embracing the moon, even deliberately wanted to scare them. However, seeing how scared they were, he decided to forget about it. From the looks of it, they were probably going to sleep together tonight.
Just like that, everyone squeezed in the direction of the main building. Soon, they arrived in front of the main building.
However, at this moment.
Rustle… A soft rustling sound could be heard.
Heath’s brows twitched and he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
“What? What’s wrong, Master?” a girl asked.
Heath said, “All of you, step back a little.”
The girls spread out and stepped back.
Heath’s gaze landed in the direction of the main building and he said coldly, “Are you still not willing to come out?”
Not long after…
Da da da… A series of messy footsteps sounded from behind the pillars on both sides of the main building’s main door.
A group of people swarmed out from behind.
They were wearing leather armor with nails on it, and they were holding sharp cross swords in their hands. There was only one person, and his body was faintly emitting a different aura —
Knight!
