Chapter Twenty: The Wolfman Brothers

  Although surprised, Gallo didn't interrupt and continued listening.

  "My husband died of illness a month ago, according to the circumstances, it should be my daughter Bi Lan who inherits his title and property. However, before that, I must take my daughter to the Imperial City, Besli, to perform the handover ceremony, so as to prove that my daughter is indeed the true legitimate heir..."

  Suddenly, tears fell on the pale blue face, and the voice also became blurry. Gallo frowned, "The people just now were absolutely not robbers. I felt a very strong killing intent from them. So to speak, their goal is to kill all of you. Who would benefit from this?"

  “…Yes, as long as they kill Miss Azure and Lady Onyx, the younger brother of Duke Pujara, Marquis Pujit, can inherit his title and become a duke, and control all of Duke Pujara's assets.” Garo replied, “We set out ten days ago, and on the second day, we were ambushed by a strong attack. At that time, all the guards died, leaving only the three of us to desperately rescue the ladies. Fortunately, Lady Onyx is a disciple of Master Jevon, a 4th-level light system pastor, so we were able to hold on until we reached that small town. Luckily, Master Jevon was also there, and under his protection, we were able to catch our breath. Unfortunately, I had consumed too much spiritual power in the previous battle, and after resting for a few days in the town, I still couldn't recover. Later, Master Jevon also had a mission and couldn't stay there for long, so we asked him for help. And then you arrived.”

  The flames burst into a loud noise. Gallo nodded, "Hmm, roughly, I understand. As long as that Pujie kills you all, can he get everything? So what do you plan to do?"

  "We're less than two days' journey from Bessieres, and my brother Prince Kael is inside. Once we get there, if I hand over the letter of inheritance to him, Byr will be able to inherit the dukedom. At that point, nothing Pujolte does will matter. If he kills Byr then, my husband's property will lose its inheritance documents and all become national assets. Pujolte knows this too, so he has to kill us before we reach Bessieres or else he'll never have the chance." Yula wiped away tears as she replied to Galo.

  "I get it, as long as we protect you for these two days, that's all, right?" Gallo nodded "If that's the case, this task is easy, those trash from yesterday, no matter how many come, it doesn't matter."

  Lar shook his head, "No, although Miss Galo you are very powerful, but I know that Pujit has two very powerful assistants under him. The problem is that I haven't seen them either, how strong they are and what abilities they have, I'm not clear at all. And just now in the battle, I think those who escaped should have already told Pujit about your strength. I'm worried, they will use some despicable means to deal with us."

  "What about them? I don't think we need to worry." Gallo chuckled, dead men are forever silent.

  "Alright, it's getting late, Miss Azure is tired, get some rest soon, or you won't have the energy to hurry along tomorrow, right?" Indeed, Azure was young and had already dozed off in her mother's arms.

  "Alright, let's take a break first, Miss Gallo, thank you."

  "Master, what are we going to do now? They'll be in Besle in two days...if things go on like this..." A woman whispered softly while leaning against Pujalte's chest.

  "There's no other way, I can only ask them to take action, Little San."

  "Yes, master." A small, thin man knelt before Pujit.

  "Go and prepare ten women, plus fifty beasts of prey, and also three thousand gold coins. Send them to her, make them take action, it is essential to eliminate them before they arrive at Besli."

  Sitting quietly by the bonfire, Garo looked up at the starry sky. How beautiful the stars are, covering the entire sky. It's been a long time since I've seen such a sky. The Earth's sky is always dull and hazy, the starry sky has been obscured by human greed and ignorance. Is it the same in this world? Where there are humans, is there also negative existence?

  Suddenly, she heard a faint rustling sound, turned her head around, and saw a small figure slowly emerging from the carriage and approaching her side.

  "Beryl, it's so late, why aren't you resting? If you keep this up, you'll have no energy tomorrow." Gallo softened his facial expression. This girl was about the same age as Yuki, who had passed away back then.

  "I couldn't sleep, Jiaojie, can you sit with me for a while?"

  "Of course, come." Gently holding Bi Lian in his arms, he summoned a bit of fire element around him to prevent her from getting cold.

  Leaning into Galo's bosom, Azure felt a warmth "Sister Galo."

  "Huh?"

  "Do you know, when I was a kid, our family was really happy, my father, mother, and Uncle Puji, everyone was together, really happy and harmonious. But for some reason, three years ago everything changed, Uncle stopped visiting me, now he even wants to kill me."

  Two lines of tears slowly flowed down. "I'm thinking, if I died, would it be better? The uncles who raised me since childhood all died in front of me, Larl Veen Auntie was severely injured for our sake, and now Miro, Huo Shu Uncle is also injured, and you're involved too... Am I really that terrible? Would it be better if I just died?"

  Jia Luo suddenly raised his hand and knocked on Bi Lian's little forehead "Little fool."

  "Ah!" She was suddenly knocked on, and Bì Lán abruptly stopped her tears, lifted her head, and looked at Jia Luo in confusion.

  "You're still young, yet you talk about dying, do you think that's useful?" Gallo looked at Azure "Humans are a weak species, once they leave their group, they can't live normally, but did you know, to protect what they want to protect, humans will become incredibly strong, even if it means sacrificing their own lives. So, as the one being protected, living on is the best way to repay those who protect you."

  Bìlán was stunned, although she was very clever, but after all, she was only ten years old and there were many things she wouldn't understand. However, what Jiāluó said now reminded her of the situation at that time.

  One by one, the guards fell before her eyes, blood and corpses, an absolute hell for her at that time. But what she heard was not their cries of pain, but firm and powerful words.

  "Mrs. Yu Lan, take Miss away quickly!"

  "Take Miss away quickly, we will hold out here."

  "We believe in Miss, she will definitely bring happiness to our city!"

  They were killed to protect themselves, but until the end, that firm belief in their own faith never changed. The terrifying scene at the time made Bi Lu selectively forget it, and now when thinking back, what fills her mind is no longer a bloody scene, but the words they used to protect themselves.

  "Do you understand? They protected you because they believed in you, respected you and liked you. They paid with their lives, is this despair all you got?"

  Biting her lower lip tightly, Bi Lü's body was trembling, not from the cold, but from the intense shock in her heart.

  Smiled slightly, gently lifted her head, a pleasant sound came out.

  "The sunshine in front of me brings a fascinating glow, I only see the pulse that this jumping world breathes"

  At night, in the heart, I feel a sense of longing and yearning. New hopes are only shared by all companions with a sigh of recognition.

  The wind is howling, we are chasing the season of dreams.

  The fruit of global success is flashing before our eyes, let's move forward with our backs to the sunset.

  The wind is howling, chasing after future companions

  Close your eyes and you can feel our hearts, the world in dreams is calling me

  Listening to Gallo's song, slowly, Azure fell asleep in her arms. Gallo gently took the blanket draped over her body and placed it on the ground, then gently laid Azure down "Sleep well, my princess, I'll protect you, that tragedy will never happen again."

  "As soon as we get over this mountain, Beseril City will be right in front of us and we'll be safe."

  "Hmm, so it seems that the last enemy is right in front of us." Gallo's eyes looked forward, and on the only road leading to the mountain, two people wrapped in hoods stood on the road.

  "We've been waiting for you, Lady Azure and Miss Cerulean." A very low voice came out, then two masked figures stood up straight.

  Laral was shocked, after these two people stood up straight, their bodies were more than 2 meters tall. It's likely that only beastmen or berserkers could have such a height, but the slender figure didn't seem to match at all.

  They tore off their martial arts robes, revealing their true identities before everyone.

  Suddenly, Huo Xiong shouted "Werewolf brothers! Claws! Teeth!"

  The two monsters that appeared in front of several people were actually two giant wolf-like monsters standing upright, with grayish-black fur all over their bodies, sharp claws and teeth, all showing unmatched lethality.

  "You're still alive!" Huo Xu gritted his teeth "The ruthless killer from back then, now reduced to being a dog under Pu Ji's command?"

  "Dogs, no matter what, we wouldn't be so bored. It's just that after being defeated by your master back then and falling off the cliff, it was Pujit who saved us. So we promised to help him with things as long as there's pay involved. This time, it's about killing you guys."

  "But happily, this task is not bad, apart from the original target, we haven't tasted the flesh and blood of the spirits before, and there are so many girls, absolutely can have a feast, and those women sent by Pujit, the taste is really bad."

  "Hey!" Huo Xu's eyes widened and he raised his massive hammer, ready to charge forward. Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of him, blocking his way.

  "Protect Bi Lian and the others." Jia Luo's face was icy cold as he walked over.

  Claw and Fang looked at Garro walking towards them, "Oh, one by one, sent to death? That's fine too."

  Laruo shouted "Garo Miss, be careful! The Wolfman brothers are elemental magic wolves themselves. After transforming into human form, although they can't use magic, they still have a very high magical resistance to magic elements."

  "Oh, so that means ordinary magic attacks won't work anymore?" Garo's left hand spread its five fingers and shot out several fireballs, but the opponent didn't dodge at all, taking them head-on without even flinching, and what's more, not receiving a single bit of damage.

  "Interesting, I wonder if you have a magic core inside your body."

  "Want to know? Wait till you're in our belly and then look for it slowly!" The two brothers jumped up suddenly, one on the left and one on the right, and charged forward.
