Work Prophet

Seeing his conspiracy exposed, Badur turned to flee, but the next moment his vision turned black.

The Vauban Sword, only half drawn, witnessed its lord being swallowed halfway by the White Dragon, its sharp teeth piercing through Badur's abdomen, causing him to let out cries of agony.

But soon, his wails ceased, leaving only the crunching sounds from the dragon's jaws, chilling Vauban to the bone.

So he wisely loosened his grip on the sword, raising his hands.

The Lady was already in front of Pibo by this time. She brushed aside his hair and discovered that the ears on top of his head were indeed real, explaining why the young girl hadn't noticed anything unusual at first.

However, those ears weren't grown by the person lying on the ground but were stitched onto his scalp, leaving Miss Rabbit stunned.

Then she seemed to realize something, her expression changing, "Where's Pibo? Is he still alive?"

"He's alive; Badur only cut off his ears." Voban answered truthfully, responding to every question.

"Then who is this on the ground?"

"A poor fellow who owed Badur a lot of money. He was chosen by Badur because he bore a slight resemblance to Pibo in body shape and appearance.

"Badur told him that if he could seize the moment to hold you when he got close, not only could he waive all his previous debts, but Badur would also give him an extra amount of money so his entire family could live without worries."

"And you kept inviting us to the castle just now?"

"Because that was indeed our plan before, Lord Badur feared you wouldn't fall for it in the end, so he brought him in as well, to add an extra layer of security."

"Is Pibo now imprisoned in the dungeon of Ganlin Castle?" the Lady asked further.

"He was, but because you came, Badur feared you would directly rescue him, so he moved him to a manor under his name overnight."

"Lead the way," Miss Rabbit said grimly.

Voban cooperatively mounted his horse and led the way.

Li Yu and Ireya also mounted horses and followed behind, the White Dragon overhead the three.

Voban didn't play any tricks, leading them to a manor where in its cellar, Ireya found Pibo with his face covered in blood, half-conscious.

To blind the Lady's eyes, Badur cruelly cut off Pibo's top ears, then applied simple herbs and bandaged them to stop the bleeding.

Without any disinfection means, Pibo's wounds unsurprisingly were also infected.

Li Yu fed him some anti-inflammatory medicine.

Ireya then glanced at Voban, who hurriedly said, "I know where the Rodriguez family's assets are hidden, I can take you to them."

But the Lady drew out her reloaded Flintlock Gun from her arms again, aiming it at Voban.

Voban watched in fear as the black rod earlier shot through the chest of the imposter Pibo.

The girl said coldly, "You're a knight too, right? Where's your knightly honor?"

"These were all decisions by Lord Badur, I am his vassal, and must obey his orders," said Voban.

The Lady hesitated at this statement, noticing a little girl peeking from behind the barn.

Ireya noticed she had only one eye.

Voban saw the little girl, "Oh, her name is Elsa, she originally had a pair of gem-like beautiful blue eyes.

"But because her father couldn't repay Lord Badur, he took one of her eyes."

"How can there be such an inhumane bastard in this world!" The Lady was shocked.

Voban nodded, "If you walk around and ask the residents here, you'll find this is just the tip of the iceberg. Lord Badur is inherently cruel, not only to these feudal residents but also to us vassals, we live in constant fear.

"A vassal who was late to his birthday feast was locked in a cage to fight a bear for everyone's entertainment, with only a wooden sword as a weapon.

"That's why we dare not defy his orders. You killed him; the people of this land will be grateful to you."

Hearing this, the Lady also felt he might have been coerced by Badur, but then Li Yu spoke up.

"Badur entrusted Ganlin Castle to you and could only bring one person to meet us this time, and he chose you, indicating your relationship with him is extraordinary, far surpassing the other vassals.

"If a man's left foot stinks, there's no reason his right foot wouldn't."

The Double Rest Sect Prophet's last sentence was a death sentence for Voban, who tried to argue, but Miss Rabbit had already pulled the trigger.

With a bang, a blood hole also appeared in Voban's chest, he staggered back half a step, reluctantly glanced at the gunshot wound, and then collapsed onto a haystack.

The girl withdrew her gun, resentfully saying, "Damn it, I almost got fooled by him, thinking he was just coerced by Badur."

Miss Rabbit, still unsatisfied after shooting, mounted the White Dragon and flew over Ganlin Castle. She gave the people in the castle a quarter hour to leave, then ordered the White Queen to unleash flames and set the castle ablaze.

After finishing everything, she flew back to the manor and picked up Li Yu and Pibo.

On the way back, the Lady remained gloomy.

Li Yu saw this and said, "Are you still angry?"

Miss Rabbit's voice came from the motorcycle helmet, sounding muffled.

"No, I'm just thinking about how the people there will fare after we leave. Was I too soft-hearted, should I have just burned the entire Rodriguez family too?"

"Not everyone in the Rodriguez family is necessarily bad," Li Yu said.

"Some things that knight Voban said weren't wrong, after all, Badur was the lord of Ganlin Castle, and other people couldn't do much against his actions even if dissatisfied.

"If you kill everyone in the Rodriguez family, no one will protect the people on that land, and nearby bandits and robbers will come, the people's lives will become even more miserable."

"Why is it like this?" the girl frowned, "Isn't there a way to let everyone live well?"

"Good question, about nine hundred years ago, a young man named Alessandro also asked the same thing, then he founded the Red Lion Empire."

"But I am not the Furious Lion," the Lady sighed, "though everyone now calls me the Empire Valkyrie, I know well my accomplishments are actually from cheating, if not for you by my side helping me, I couldn't even become the Family Head of the Arias family."
