Albrecht runs for a long time and stops by the river. He had no physical problems, but he needed to rest. You water the horses and rest for a while, and you see people in Calteren territory coming up the river on rafts.

When you arrived at the transport depot, you separated the raft and dragged it to a wagon in a nearby city or territory.

The people on the raft were not surprised to learn that Albrecht had been exiled. I took off my cove and gave Albrecht a light funeral. You continue downstream through Albrecht.

Do they like it when I'm banished and sick? Or do you think it'll be cool? It's useless even if you think about it.

I led the horse to the grass and let him graze.

I took a little more rest and left again. Thinking about horse strength, I thought I'd stop running so fast.

However, I felt uneasy because the sun was about to go down. Once we got to the depot, we asked people for directions, and if they had the same route, we were going to stick to the city. How far do we have to get to the depot?

I've never been outside the territory, so I have no way of knowing if there's any left or if there's much left. Do I have to be homeless? Albrecht played often in the forest when he was on land, but always had to return to the castle for dinner. I've never been homeless.

There was a reed field between the road and the river. The reed field grew wider. The reed field and the road lead to the mound.

Then I heard a whisper in front of me. As the whisper grows closer, a man with a horrible complexion protrudes out of the reed forest and stands in front of Albrecht.

“Greetings, Knight. ”

Albrecht stares at me unanswered. Then the beggar man gestured toward the reed forest. Two men point at Albrecht with bows. It was a crude bow, if you ask me.

“Leave the horse to us. ”

“Why would I? ”

“Hmmm. Listen to me carefully. It's kind of a deal. If you fight us, one or two of us may die, but you will die. We don't want any of us to die, and neither do you. So why don't you make a deal with your horse? ”

Albrecht doesn't care what the bandits say and asks questions.

“Why didn't you shoot the arrow in the first place? ”

“Well, that's because you might miss it. ”

Albrecht was ridiculous. I thought it was about this much outside the territory of all the crimes I had heard so much about. However, the man felt good about the horse. You decide how to deal with two bandits aiming at the same time. If you throw the axe, you'll have to find it for a long time if you fall into the reed forest incorrectly.

I thought I could pull out my sword and stick it in my body. As soon as he had finished his thought, Albrecht swiftly picked up his shield and drew his sword and threw it in a straight line, pitching to the thief who was still aiming his bow.

A man with a bow is a sword in his chest. You count the power of the toss, and even the crossguard is impacted.

Albrecht's actions are so swift that the other thief with the bow remains undisturbed. I looked around, and my colleague collapsed with a sword in his chest and choked on blood. Then I felt I had to shoot a bow. The moment he turned his head to Albrecht, his shield was already in front of him.

Albrecht slashed with his shield and cut the thief's head as it was slashed, pulling out a sword from the chest of the fallen thief next to him.

Unlike Erik, I had never killed a man directly, but there was no shock in my heart. Looks like Albrecht's old psychopathic temperament helped.

“Huh? ”

Around the horse, the thief was already at Albrecht's beck and call when he felt he had to run.

“One or two people die? I'll make it three for you. ”

Then, I wiped the thief's clothes with blood stained with my sword.

A good bandit shouts urgently.

“Sa, help me! Help me!”

Albrecht continued to brush his sword without looking at the thief.

“Tell me why I have to save you. ”

“Oh! Oh! That's it! ”

The thief thinks he's trying hard to survive, but he doesn't even think about it. I cried because I thought I might die soon.

“Darkness! Darkness! So!”

“Never mind. Is there a place you can sleep? ”

Suddenly, a light flashes on the thief's head.

“Of course! Of course! Yes, I do!”

“Where is it? Guide me.”

“Just follow me! We'll be right with you! ”

Albrecht follows the guide thief, holding onto the wheel. After a while, the forest came out. It was a different forest than the forest of the territory. It was completely dark and forested, so I could hardly see. Albrecht walks with his natural eye, but the bandits walk a familiar path.

For a long time, I saw the light from a distance. It seemed to be a den of bandits. Albrecht asked the thief.

“How many bandits are there? ”

“There are ten of us. ”

The bandits around the horse are getting nervous. I tried to escape somehow using the night, but I followed. At this rate, they were all going to die. This well-armed knight could have killed as many as ten or twenty of his own weightlifters.

When I was on an ambush in the reed forest, I told myself to let it go. But the other two looked young and the equipment looked new, so they decided it was a baby. The other two were reluctant to wipe out the good self around the horse, saying that they might be able to steal the horse.

It was unfair. I told myself to let it go!

I suddenly reached the Thief's Lair. You see two cluttered huts with almost a parcel of fences. No one stood guard. There's a lot of talk inside.

A good-looking bandit opens the door, leaves Albrecht and runs inside screaming.

“Run!”

“Oh, my gosh. It's Diego. What's going on? ”

Diego continues to run without looking back.

“Run away!”

Diego yells, and the bandits inside the hut want to know what's going on. They looked like shit together.

“What? What? ”

The bandits just look vaguely at what they want to do, and no one runs away. At that moment, you see a knight coming through the gate with his shield and sword.

“Hiic!”

Some were frightened and ran away, while others were just embarrassed and didn't know what to do.

Albrecht was embarrassed, too. No one wanted to fight. It was an unexpected situation. I had to put my fist in it to make things worse.

At that time, a thief larger than himself walks out of the hut without wearing anything underneath. It seemed to be the boss.

“What's going on! ”

The leader meets Albrecht's eyes. Albrecht peeks inside the hut. I saw naked women. I have reason to kill.

The boss tries to turn around and run away without wearing anything underneath. Albrecht quickly approaches and slits his throat. The boss staggers, grabbing his neck. The bandits were startled. Albrecht killed as soon as he shut up. Six people were slaughtered in an instant.

There was a lot of blood on the white circus. I felt bad. I swiped my sword a couple times and brushed it with the robe of a dead thief. I put the sword in the sheath and went inside the hut.

I see three women trembling naked.

“Put on your clothes. ”

The women were trembling and wearing Juju Island clothes. The women sensed that they were all dead when they heard the bandits' terminal a few times outside the coup.

“You were captured? ”

The women trembled and looked at Albrecht, but there was no answer.

“Are there any more prisoners besides you? ”

The women shaken their heads. Either he didn't know or Albrecht was frustrated.

“Can you speak? ”

“I......”

The oldest of the three women said.

“Everyone out there is dead......”

“I killed six. Five escaped, killed them before they got here. ”

The woman never spoke again. Albrecht thought he should get ahead of the conversation first.

You see an old crate next to where the women stand. As I took a big walk to open it, the women were furious and moved aside. The chest is filled with a rusted lock, and you draw your sword and strike with a pommel. The lock was broken at once.

Albrecht looks inside and is surprised. It is full of all kinds of glittering jewelry, jeweled jewelry, and shows a few gold and silver coins. No matter how rural you are, you've never seen this much treasure. Do bandits make this much money? I got the coins right away, and I thought I could load the rest on the horse tomorrow. As soon as I left the house, I thought I could do this.

I left the hut and entered the other hut. I smelled so bad that I felt good looking for treasure. It seemed like this was where the tidebringers lived. The hut next door is where the boss lives, and it seemed like the women had been healed by cleaning or doing laundry.

You tug your cloak to block your nose and look around, but nothing seems to be useful. You only took three Shoddy Daggers.

He came out again, dragged the horse he had tied outside the fence, and tied it next to the hut where his boss stayed. The corpses surprise me, but Albrecht, a well-trained warhorse, calms down quickly.

You go back into the hut where the women were and sit down against the wall by the central furnace. The women were still standing.

“There's nothing to be afraid of. Have a seat."

The women carefully wrapped their knees around Albrecht's eyes. Albrecht considers how to deal with the women. It was because if he went on his way tomorrow and left the women alone, he would be like this again.

I threw three crude daggers at the women.

“Keep that, too. Better than nothing. And......”

Albrecht left the castle at dawn and ate nothing all day except some jerky.

Albrecht said a little embarrassed.

“Can I get you something to eat? ”

Hearing Albrecht's words, the women remove the cauldron from the corner and place it in the oven in the middle of the hut. I put the water in and sliced the wheat debris and the finely chopped rabbit meat. After boiling for a while, you add salt and boil more.

The woman picks up a bowl and gives it to Albrecht. A piece of meat floats around in the dead.

Albrecht looks at her.

“Spoon?”

The woman shakes her head. I didn't have a chin for spoons. The right dishes were used by nobles, rich people, and poor people living in the city. The common people just ate with their hands.

Albrecht accepted the reality and drank a big drink. It couldn't have been delicious. I felt good, but I just inhaled it. I ate three more bowls and the pot was empty.

Albrecht looks at the women and asks.

“What are your names? ”

The women looked at each other, and the older woman said.

“I'm Elena, this is Martina, this is Anna. ”

The women had long hair behind their backs, but Elena was black and Martina and Anna were dark brown. The eyes were all bright brown, and everyone had big eyes and a slim face.

Albrecht thought the women looked exotic and had a strange accent, but the names were definitely unfamiliar.

“I don't think that's the name of this neighborhood. ”

The woman was speechless and looked down at the floor.

“We're from the South. I was on my way back from Anglia to the west to buy jewelry. ”

“Three girls alone? The long way? ”

Elena glances at Albrecht for a moment and says again.

“The three of us were top employees. There are men outside, there are staff, there are people who are hired to act……"

Albrecht was shocked. How did the Merchant Guild become a thief? Besides, there was this kind of chaos, and women were like this.
