Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 733 Running Wild
Late the next night.

When they set off again, Freya no longer needed to hide in the bucket and be carried by Milo. In fact, after her flesh and blood grew back, the bucket probably wouldn't be able to hold her anymore.

Aegon was surprised by Freya's speed of recovery, and also by Milo's recovery, since both of them were still limping yesterday.

"You're leaving?"

Seeing Milo helping Freya cover her wounds and the horns in her silver hair with a robe, Aegon couldn't help but ask a question.

"Yes, I was just using this place to recover from my injuries. I'll leave once I'm healed."

Milo stated that this was something he had discussed with the captain beforehand, and he did not mention the "unpleasant taste" Freya had mentioned.

Aegon didn't ask any further questions. She quickly ran back into the house, retrieved the map scroll, and handed it to Milo.

But Milo waved his hand and pointed to his temple: "Keep it, I've memorized everything."

Once he was certain he could keep the map, Aegon couldn't help but smile.

This was the first time Milo had ever seen a smile on Aegon's face.

Aegon seemed to notice Milo's gaze, and instantly returned to normal, then explained somewhat awkwardly, "Father never leaves us anything like this. Every time he returns from a voyage, he only brings back one more disabled child."

Milo couldn't immediately grasp what the map meant to Aegon, who had grown up deep in the mountains, but he saw so much more in the fleeting change in Aegon's eyes...

"Have you always lived in this mountain? I mean... never gone to sea with your father?" Milo didn't know why he asked such a question.

The result was that the child became depressed from all the questioning.

Aegon did not answer, but simply shook his head calmly.

The child had a pair of azure eyes, but had never seen what the sea looked like.

……

Milo hurriedly left the village with Freya without even saying goodbye to the three little ones.

It wasn't that he was heartless, but rather that the atmosphere was almost right, and he was afraid that Aegon would say something terrible like "I will definitely do it someday," since people who say such things usually don't live long.

"Fortunately, he's a quiet child," Milo muttered to himself on the way.

"Huh?" Freya felt a little confused.

"It's alright, keep going."

"Oh okay."

...

They chose the most difficult route through the dense forest and headed south.

Milo had not forgotten that Freya's ultimate destination was the north, but now there was no other choice. With the presence of the Hawkeyes, even if Freya could revert to her dragon form, she could not leave from the side where the Zulu River flows into the sea.

For now, we can only venture further south.

“Now it’s not just about sneaking a peek from the sky, it’s an immersive experience,” Milo muttered.

Freya, who had suffered such a great calamity, simply chuckled and said, "I don't quite understand, but you're definitely not blaming me."

...

It's worth mentioning that not long after the two of them left the village of the naughty children, Freya said that the smell that made her very uncomfortable disappeared.

Milo could more or less guess that the so-called "smell" had nothing to do with the village, but rather came from the Ula Xilu settlement on the other side of the mountain ridge, where the tower was obviously burning something.

But he didn't mention any of this to Freya.

Milo told Freya quite a bit about the daring rescue and Aunt Shana who was in charge of the "surgery" along the way.

The journey was not smooth, but despite being recovering from serious injuries, the two were still able to easily overcome the obstacles they encountered.

Perhaps it is because the Hierophant race is born to suffer from curses and oppression, Freya will remember all those who have been kind to her.

I asked a lot of questions about the captain and Aunt Shana along the way.

For example, how did the aunt scrape the dragon grease off her body? What did the aunt look like?

"She must be a very kind and lovely auntie, right?" "Did she compliment my looks?"

"What a pity, I can't remember what the aunt looks like."

"Did you know? There's a saying among the Hiyans that we're always solitary, and no race except the stars will accept us."

"But look, I met so many kind people on my first trip out."

"Happy, happy..."

...

Freya is a typical example of someone who forgets the pain once the wound has healed; she didn't even ask who the person who shot the giant arrow was.

It seems that in the minds of the Hierophant people, being besieged and killed is the normal phenomenon, and it does not make them feel unfair or indignant. Therefore, they are flattered when they are treated kindly.

Listening to this silly girl chatter on and on, Milo really wanted to tell her: No, that auntie was acting strangely, crying and laughing like a madwoman, not cute at all. She didn't compliment your looks either, and even recommended that I drink some bloody wine...

But in the end, Milo held back his words.

The decision was made to preserve some beautiful illusions for this three-year-old child from the Hittite tribe.

...

……

Just as the man and the dragon were chattering away as they left the village and headed south...

On the other side to the north, however, people were desperately rushing towards the village.

That was the captain who risked his life to rescue Milo and his companion in the nearshore waters.

His eyes were wide open and bloodshot.

He was panting heavily as he ran, glancing back every now and then.

He looked panicked and terrified, his hair disheveled, as if some ultimate and terrifying demon was following him.

But behind him, the forest path at night led to only a deep, dark expanse, with no shadows or outlines in sight.

...

The captain is in very bad condition.

His bloodshot eyes held a faint hook-shaped rune, but were filled with terror.

...

The words of the priest of the Temple of Blessing seemed to haunt his ears like a ghost, impossible to shake off.

"...You've collected enough Temple Stones, good, good. I thought you were just an ordinary person."

"In that case, let's go to the prayer hall first. The priests can test your nature and character in their spare time."

"Perhaps you will have the opportunity to become a servant under the command of the Hook Finger God in the future."

"In consideration of your diligent service to the temple over the years, I'll give you one more piece of advice."

"Once inside, wait patiently for the priests to finish their work before offering the temple stone. Do not disturb the priests' important business."

"Understand?"

"Furthermore, whatever you see, it all comes from the supreme decree of the temple, and you have no right to question it."

"If you do something stupid, I can't protect you."

"Go, put away your temple stone. Perfect timing, this time you can lead these children to see the priest."

"Remember what I said."

...
