"Hey, is this okay? New species? Or two!" Nalant listened to the sound of the system in his mind and suddenly felt that he was really lucky today.
The matter of the barbarian women and children has actually been in his mind these days, but he wanted to see if Earl Blackiron would personally go out and beat up this little knight, so he delayed it for a few days.
Unexpectedly, this unintentional intervention now led to the system's side missions, which made a lot of money.
"Raymond, you pick ten barbarians to wait for me outside the castle tomorrow. Then I will take the convoy to Blazing Grassland with you!"
It has been three days since the dark invasion. No matter what the reason is, Nalant feels that the chance of Earl Blackiron secretly attacking him has been reduced.
After all, there is such a big hatred, and the opponent is a fierce dragon crossing the river. There is no reason to wait for the opportunity or anything. If you really want to deal with yourself, you can definitely do it one by one. This is the arrogance of a great noble.
"Thank you, Lord!" Raymond finally felt relieved after hearing this, and immediately knelt on the ground and expressed gratitude to Nalant.
After sending Raymond, Nalant took the three women directly to the John blacksmith shop.
Ding-ding-ding-ding!
As we approached the thatched house of John blacksmith, the rhythmic sound of hammering iron was immediately heard from inside.
Catherine was shocked when she heard this voice. Obviously, this voice reminded her of the past.
Nalant glanced at Sherry and Vivian, and the two women immediately went up to hold Catherine.
"Sister Catherine, your swordsmanship is so good. After the rapier is made, you have to teach me and sister Vivian how to practice swordsmanship!"
"Well, okay, Sherry!" Catherine felt the concern of Nalant and the two women. Catherine first looked at Nalant gratefully, and then returned to normal and started talking to Sherry.
Afterwards, Nalant led the three women into the blacksmith shop.
Passing through the hut, I soon saw John hammering on the felt with a small hammer.
Only then did John notice the figure of Nalant, and immediately stopped what he was doing.
"John has met the Lord!"
"Well, get up." Nalant nodded.
John then stood up. Just when John was about to continue speaking to Nalant and wanted to ask the lord what his orders were, his eyes glanced at the three women behind him.
And it was this look that made John freeze on the spot, and the hammer in his hand fell to the ground.
Then, John's lips trembled a little.
"Father!"
The next moment, an exclamation came from behind Nalant.
"Huh?" Nalant was confused.
"You... you...Catherine?" John stammered, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Let me go, this... could it be that Catherine's father is this John blacksmith!" Hearing John call out Catherine's name, Nalant still didn't understand what was going on.
But, didn't John say that his daughter was executed by that lord Doke a few years ago?
"Catherine, it's really you!" The next moment, Catherine ignored John's linen blouse full of charcoal gray and threw himself directly into John's arms.
Nalant didn't bother when he saw this scene, he just stepped aside.
Sherry and Vivian were staring blankly at the changes in the field and had not yet reacted.
"Catherine, you... didn't they take you away!!" The father and daughter were excited for a long time, and then they calmed down a little. Then the blacksmith John looked at Catherine lovingly and asked.
Of course, during this process, he held Catherine's hand tightly, fearing that Catherine would disappear as soon as he relaxed.
"Father, that time I was taken away by the city guards and handed over to Church..." At that moment, Catherine told John about his subsequent experiences, exactly the same as what he told Nalant last time.
And John also had tears in his eyes when he heard that his daughter had suffered so much. When Catherine finally told Nalant that he had taken him in, John the blacksmith remembered this lord.
plop
"Lord, thank you for taking in Catherine!" John blacksmith came to Nalant without hesitation and knelt directly on the ground.
"Get up, John, I didn't expect Catherine to be your daughter! Since you and your daughter are safe now and have met each other, then this is God's favor!" Nalant also understood that this was the loyalty of the blacksmith John rewarded by the system, and it turned out to be achieved in this way.
"No, Lord, I am guilty. I am not loyal to you because that Baron Doke killed my other daughter. This is a great offense..."
It turned out that since Catherine was arrested, John had no intention of blacksmithing in Blackiron Castle, and then, he took advantage of a dark night to escape from Blackiron Castle.
However, because he is Blackiron Castle's chief blacksmith and has mastered the secret of black iron forging, Earl Blackiron will not let him go so easily.
In order to avoid being caught back, John directly fled to Storm Territory.
And in Storm Territory, because he missed Catherine, he adopted an orphan girl who was exiled here.
I originally thought that I could live a normal life with my adopted daughter in Storm Territory, but Baron Doke took away the life of his adopted daughter.
From then on, John hated the nobles because he felt that the death of his two daughters was related to the nobles.
That day when I looked at Nalant with complicated eyes, I didn't know how to face Nalant.
Nalant is indeed a good lord, but it is not enough to erase his hatred. He may not have any bad intentions towards Nalant, but he will definitely not be loyal.
But now Nalant has allowed him to find his daughter again, and this kindness is a new blessing for him.
"John, Catherine, I have heard about what happened to you, and I also understand what happened to you. I now absolve you of your past sins, get up!" Nalant also had to do some 'noble self-cultivation' at this time. After all, this is an essential operation for superiors.
And listening to what blacksmith John just said, he used to be the chief blacksmith of Blackiron Castle. It takes a lot of exquisite skills to become the chief blacksmith of an earl family.
After saying that, Nalant also helped the blacksmith John with his own hands.
"Thank you Lord Lord, you are a kind Lord. Lord Lord, John will swear allegiance to you from now on!"
Next, Nalant continued to chat with father and daughter John for a while, explained the matter of the thin stabbing sword, and immediately left with Vivian and Sherry.
Father and daughter Catherine and John reunited. Naturally, outsiders like them could not stay and disturb their reminiscences.
"Sir, sister Catherine and blacksmith John were so touching just now. I almost cried!" After leaving the blacksmith shop, Sherry's eyes were slightly red.
The same is true for Vivian.
However, unlike Sherry, Sherry still has a mother who loves her.
But Vivian lost her parents, and only had a younger sister to depend on. The scene just now brought back her memories.
"Sherry, then just cry for a moment and let Vivian and I take a look at what Sherry looks like when he cries?" Nalant immediately teased the little loli.
"Sherry doesn't want it! Wuwu... Lord, you are bullying Sherry!" Sherry heard his Lord's teasing, and the previous emotions had not faded away. Now, coupled with the grievance of being bullied by the Lord, Sherry immediately ran forward whimpering.
"Oh, Sherry..." Seeing this, Vivian immediately wanted to call Sherry, but Nalant directly took Vivian's hand.
In an instant, Vivian's body trembled, and a large red cloud appeared on his fair face, and it felt like fire from the roots of his ears to his neck.
"Don't be sad, Lilia and I still care about you!" Nalant said softly to Vivian without letting go.
"Hmm!" Vivian then realized that the adult was trying to comfort him. Feeling the warmth from his hands, he felt a little confused in his heart and buried his head in his collar. He hummed softly and did not dare to speak anymore.
Thanks to the book friend "Cat Fart Demon" for the reward!!!
