Settle accounts after the harvest 36: 34.
Settle accounts after the harvest “I am Fisher Benavides, a scholar.
I’m heading to Krit Port in the north.
I heard that the City Lord is restricting leaving the city, so…”
“Ah, Mr.
Fisher, I’ve long admired your great reputation.
I saw your re
“Wu wu.”
The crying gradually softened, Philone chuckled lightly, and touched the goblin child’s forehead,
“From now on you’ll be called Ryan, and I am daddy.”
“Ba…”
“Ha, ha, ha.”
Philone held the now-silent child in his arms again and then said to the other soldiers, “These children who have no parents, send them to my mansion…
Qi Qi, you have brothers and sisters now.”
Several demi-human children behind him pouted and hugged Philone’s legs,
“I don’t want, daddy is mine!”
“He’s so ugly.”
All those demi-human children spoke in very native Nali Language, clearly having been educated in it from a young age, perhaps not even hearing their own language before being brought to Philone’s side.
“Don’t say that, Bochi, they’ll grow up to be just as cute as you.”
“Wu…”
Fisher, holding his hands, watched Philone, even Rafael was surprised, glancing around the Inner City environment, seeing happily settled demi-humans speaking a barely familiar Nali Language with the officers arranging their lives.
Is this…
heaven?
After witnessing so many tragedies, Rafael still found such a scene somewhat surreal when he saw it now.
“You all go back first, thank you for your hard work.
Mr.
Fisher, please come this way, I will call the maid to prepare dinner.”
“Thank you.”
Fisher glanced at Mier and the others who were slowly following Rafael, curiously observing their surroundings.
Perhaps because the place was too peaceful, even the usually lively Lar was momentarily speechless, just memorizing the scenery in her heart.
But upon entering the City Lord Mansion of Philone, she was quickly attracted by the various interesting steam machinery inside.
“Fisher, what is that?”
“It’s a mechanical toy.”
Fisher spotted the assorted toys placed on the shelf, explaining to Lar.
“Mr.
Fisher, can you speak Dragon-man Language?”
Philone looked over, his eyes filled with surprise.
“I know some words for everyday communication.”
“Haha, that is an impressive feat.
After all, the Dragon-man Species we see nowadays are either children who can’t speak properly or half-dead warriors.
Learning their language is incredibly difficult…”
Philone glanced at the toys on the shelf and then laughed, “There are many children at home, I inevitably made some little gadgets to divert their lively enthusiasm…stop causing trouble, go play with Sister Fei Lin, Mr.
Fisher and I have matters to discuss.”
“Dad, remember to come see my drawings tonight, I drew a lot…”
“Hurry up, Qi Qi, or I’ll finish your milk.”
Philone also handed over the child he was holding to the maid to look after, watching as the children ran further away.
Only then did Philone lead Fisher and the others to the nearby dining room.
In the well-decorated dining room, several maids were already tidying up the table.
Mier and the others could not understand the language between Fisher and Philone, so apart from the curious Lar, they all behaved obediently.
Before long, the Bull-man girl Nana also finished her errands and walked into the dining room.
“Lord Philone, everything has been arranged.”
“That’s good, come and eat.”
Nana nodded and sat next to Philone.
Philone held a knife and fork, cutting the steak into bite-sized pieces, then slowly pushed the plate in front of Nana.
“I apologize, Mr.
Fisher, I cannot eat in front of you, just eat yours, do not mind me.”
He pointed to his face covered by a gas mask, explaining, “Many years ago, my body was burned.
All these years, I tried to heal, but it has deteriorated to the extent that it must be continuously wrapped in therapeutic liquid.”
“I haven’t breathed fresh air in a long time, which is regrettable…”
As he spoke, streams of steam flowed down his mask, causing Nana to look at him with some sadness.
“Let’s not talk about this…
Mr.
Fisher, you are planning to continue traveling north, right?”
“Yes.”
“It might be difficult, the Schwali City Lord Alliance has about a dozen members, a force not to be underestimated on the South Continent.
Many demi-human tribes were destroyed by them, and the best I can mediate is to shelter the remaining widows and orphans.”
He said regretfully, his magnetic voice clear and distinct, “It’s the same this time; they discovered a mine with a large reserve of gold, so they went to war with the largest goblin tribe residing there.
Both sides suffered heavy losses, but the goblin tribe will likely soon vanish from the northern map.”
“This process won’t take long, according to intelligence, no more than fifteen days.”
He continued regretfully, “Unfortunately, human looting has become an inevitability; protecting those demi-human tribes means making enemies of all humans on the South Continent…
But, after fifteen days, you can join the troops I deploy to shelter the remaining widows and orphans as you leave the city, they’ll also ensure to escort you to Krit Port in the north.”
Fisher tapped on the table, staying here for fifteen days meant doubling his original itinerary, but he had no better way to get out.
The joint movement of the Schwali City Lord Alliance equated to a war, recklessly taking Rafael and the others through would be suicidal, problematic whether he encountered either side.
“Okay, I will wait here, and during this period, I will be in your care.”
Philone nodded, not yet speaking when Nana, who had finished the food on the table, suddenly spoke to Fisher,
“Please wait, before that, I have another question to ask you, Mr.
Fisher.”
“Please ask.”
Nana raised her head, her gaze sternly fixed on Fisher,
“Do you know Orn from Philone City?”
Fisher’s fingers stiffened for a moment, and in that second, the atmosphere also slightly fell silent.
