You... Well, you were right to curse me this time. I won't bother with you. De Lassel was just about to start a huge exchange of words with the system, but then he thought the matter at hand was more urgent and gave up.
"My father was kidnapped by a group of people, and they also hurt my mother. I have already asked the mayor for help, wuwuwu..." The little boy became more and more sad as he spoke, and he burst into tears.
"Don't be sad, dear. Uncle Earl will bring your father back. You have to be strong and look after your mother here. I will go to the mayor to find out the situation."
De La Serre was not good at coaxing children, but he knew that the most urgent thing was to rescue Old Ao, and then there would be no big problem. He immediately turned around and left, rushing to the mayor.
The mayor happened to be rushing to Lao Ao's house from the lord's hall, and the two ran into each other.
"Oh! My noble master, I went to the Lord's Hall just now to look for you, but I couldn't find you. It turns out that you are here."
"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what happened."
"Old Ao was arrested."
"By whom?"
“By someone.”
"I know it was someone who took it away, but could it be a demon or a neighbor's dog?"
"But Master, please let me save the crap..."
"Fuck, those important messages are not nonsense! Forget it, just start from the beginning, hey."
"Okay, it's like this, not long ago... later... um... do you understand?" The mayor said, gesturing with his hands, and finally explained the whole story clearly.
"So they were a group of defecting soldiers from the Khergit Khanate. They heard about the power of my Wolf King Sword and knew that it was forged by Lao Ao, so they wanted to ask him to help them make the weapon. He refused, so he was captured, right?"
"Yes, absolutely, that's it, my dear master."
"Where are these chaotic troops now?"
"You leave Uxhall and go this way..."
At this time, the system also lit up and provided Russell with navigation. Soon he rode his horse and followed the navigation system to find the hut where the group of soldiers were hiding.
Just as De La Serre was about to kick open the door of the hut and rescue the blacksmith, he suddenly heard bursts of crying coming from inside, and this crying was also a woman's voice.
"Ah...be gentle...ah!"
This time, De La Serre figured out that someone inside must have been wounded by an arrow and was trying to pull out the arrowhead! He acted decisively and kicked the door of the hut open.
"I'll kill you while you're sick! You're just pulling out the arrow to heal your wound, right? Okay! I... Shit, this time it's for real..."
I never expected that there were actually a few dirty, naked gangsters inside, molesting a decent woman.
The male owner of the hut had been killed and his body was lying on the side. Old Ao was tied up with his hands and feet, kneeling near the male corpse.
De La Serre was furious and shouted, "How inhumane! I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
System prompt: Comrade, are you playing Water Margin? Are you playing Liangshan Heroes? Please don't use random words...
Oops... Since we are just completing the side quest and entertaining everyone, don't make a big deal out of it!
De Lassel secretly replied to the system in his heart, but he also felt that what the system said made sense, so he changed the lines.
"You are a bunch of vagabonds without chivalrous spirit. I will put an end to your lives!"
After saying that, De Lassel raised his sword. The rebel soldiers were naked and had no weapons with them, so they were unable to resist and received their lunch boxes immediately.
Unfortunately, De Lassel arrived a little late. Although he punished the group of rebels, the humiliated hostess just died and left the world.
He rescued Lao Ao, and the two of them wrapped the master and mistress in clothes and buried them together.
"My honorable master, I really don't know how to thank you. You saved my wife and children before, and today, you saved me again..."
After saying that, Lao Ao knelt on his knees and was about to kowtow to the baron.
The baron slowly helped the big man in front of him up and said:
"Old Ao, you didn't make weapons for Uxhall and me for their safety. If you had made them, you wouldn't have suffered this disaster. I should thank you for that."
After being helped up by the Baron, Old Ao looked embarrassed and a little awkward, as if he couldn't speak.
The Baron noticed this move and asked, "Well, what's the matter, Old Ao? Just say it if you have something to say."
"Master, you said before that you would arrange a good job for me in the town after I return from the war. Does it still count?"
"Of course it counts. What's the matter? Have you finally figured it out and are ready to live a good life?"
"No, I, Lao Ao, am not a lazy person. It's my hand, look..." After saying that, Lao Ao raised his right hand.
Of the 5 fingers, only 2 are left now. They must have been chopped off due to the threat from the rebel army.
In this way, there will never be another chance to forge weapons with iron.
De La Serre was very angry and annoyed at the moment, and even had the idea of whipping the corpse, but reason told him not to do so.
"Don't worry, Lao Ao, come back to Uxhall with me, I will make sure everything is arranged for your family!"
Soon, De La Serre brought Old Ao back to Uxhall and came to his home, and his wife also woke up from the pain.
Their children were still young and didn't know how to bandage the wounds, so De La Salle simply treated the wounds of Old Ao and his wife.
Then, after thinking for a moment, De La Serre thought of a good job and said:
"From today on, the three of you will move into my Lord's Hall. I will provide you with a servant's room. From now on, you will be responsible for cooking for me, Lao Ao, this is your wife's strong point~"
The old Ao family was moved to tears and knelt down to thank the Baron.
"Okay, okay! We will definitely make delicious meals for you and others every day! I still have my left hand, so it's not a problem for me to help my wife wash and carry vegetables every day. I can help too!"
In such an era where men are superior to women, Lao Ao can help his wife wholeheartedly. He is truly a rare good man!
De Lassel sincerely hopes that their family can have a happy ending in the future without any more accidents.
He thought about some more things and then said, "What's your child's name? I want to train him. You don't want him to be just a chef in the future, do you?"
"My noble master, his name is Aubrey Masander."
Hmm... This name is very similar to the merchant Manide, otherwise I would let him take care of it. But this name is too complicated, so let's call him Xiao Ma.
By the way, let this child learn the ways of doing business. Maybe this is a special event for the merchant Manid, and in the future, Manid will be able to complete the transformation from Dragon Girl to Dragon Mother, similar to Safia.
