Oster let out a long breath, and the surrounding instructors had already fled in all directions and were nowhere to be seen. The serfs all knelt down and shouted, "Sir."
Windsor was very confused and stared blankly. Tommy threw himself into her arms and said excitedly, "Mom, it was Uncle Oster who saved us. He is amazing!"
The serf kneeling beside her hurriedly pulled at the hem of her clothes and said, "Kneel down quickly. This is a great knight practicing incognito. He might be a great lord somewhere."
Ahead, Oster was surrounded by people worshiping him. Listening to the constant "Sir!" "Warrior of the Holy Light!" "Savior!", I scratched my head and said sheepishly, "Get up, I'm not that powerful, hahaha~"
However, before he could be happy for long, the USB disk interface displayed [About to be attacked, type physical, damage 10]. He had no time to dodge, and was stabbed by the sword blade from behind. The tip of the sword pierced the clothes under his ribs and came out;
Turning around, the attacker was none other than Windsor. She didn't know when she had pulled out Landis's sword that was stuck on the ground beside her, and stabbed at him while staggering with the sword. Facing the astonished Oster, Windsor gritted her teeth and said, "It turns out you are the Lord Knight, but I missed it..."
Fortunately, Windsor didn't know how to use a sword at all, his proficiency was 0, the injury on his hand had not healed, and his body was extremely weak. Oster was reminded in advance by the USB flash drive. In fact, the blade only passed under his arm and slightly scratched his arm. However, the external injuries were minor, but the mental damage was great;
"You're out of your mind! I saved you twice, use this to repay me!"
Windsor's eyes were full of tears and anger, "Originally, I had a father, mother, brother, uncle, and a house and land at home. Although my life was not rich, I was so happy. But you villains, in order to seize my family's land, He colluded with the government to frame us, and his uncle and brother were taken to prison and beaten to death soon after. My father and mother also died of illness one after another;
When I was a teenager, I was raped by the lord and gave birth to Tommy. The bastard not only refused to admit his guilt, but also sold me into slavery while I was pregnant. My family was ruined, but Tommy was born with the mark of a slave on his forehead! He can only be your slave for the rest of his life, and his children will also be slaves for the rest of their lives! …”
People around her were very frightened and whispered to her, "Are you crazy? He just killed the knight captain without any injuries. Do you want to die?" Tommy also said, "But Uncle Oster is different from the bad guys. ,He is a good man."
Auster said angrily, "What happened to the good people? Should they point swords at good people?" As he said this, he strode over. Seeing this, others ran away to avoid being affected. Seeing Oster walking closer in two steps and raising his palms, Windsor shed tears, hugged Tommy tightly and closed her eyes;
However, Oster's hand only held her forehead. There was a flash of light, and the spell covered the slave brand on her forehead. Then the mark gradually became lighter until it completely disappeared.
"I'm still worried that the healing spell won't work on old injuries like this. It seems like magic is magic. Next is Little Pumpkin, come here."
Tommy happily approached Auster, and the mark was also healed. After Oster's treatment, he was still angry and muttered;
"Really, it's such a trivial matter, why do you need to take action directly? It's still in front of the children, the impact is very bad. If I didn't have a good temper, I would have to scold you a few more times."
Then he was busy removing the slave marks from the serfs next to him one by one, while saying, "There are still many healing techniques, come one by one, don't worry. Forget it, there are flashlights here, let's all stand together... Well, as expected If it can’t be cured, group therapy is rubbish.”
Windsor was stunned, looked at Tommy, and then touched his forehead. Watching, crying, and then turning into howling.
Auster was at a loss, "What's going on? Well, since my last life, I haven't been able to figure out what women are thinking. It's really troublesome."
After a short rest, the sun has risen high. Although the knight captain is dead, there is such a big movement here, and officers and soldiers will arrive at any time, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time.
The serfs thanked him profusely and left one after another. Windsor and her son also said goodbye to Auster.
When asked about their future plans, they said they planned to go to sea through the port and leave this place completely. After eliminating the stigma of serfdom, they can work normally in various places to earn a living. Windsor said firmly, "Don't worry about us, don't look at me like this, I am also a mother."
After blessing each other a few words, Windsor left a light kiss on Oster's face and left with Tommy along the path.
Auster watched it reluctantly for a while, found Landis's horse next to the stable, and got on it. Unlike its bad previous owner, this was a good horse, fat, strong, docile and obedient.
He was not stupid enough to ride a military horse through the city. He first removed the stirrups of the horse armor with the noble emblem and threw them into the pond in the forest. Then he rode his horse and galloped all the way south, from early morning until the sun set in the east. Judging from the surrounding scenery, we have entered the hinterland of the Western Wilderness.
Along the way, hungry people fleeing famine still filled the mountains and plains. The road to Elvin was blocked, forcing them to go south to the Sentinel Ridge area to make a living.
When asking for directions, Oster chatted with the travelers and learned some of the history of the Western Wilderness.
Since the three wars, Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, the cores of the old alliance, were destroyed, Dalaran suffered heavy losses, and the northern countries declined significantly. The Kingdom of Stormwind, which survived the three wars unscathed and made a fortune, became the center of the human world, attracting a large influx of immigrants. As population pressure doubled, the kingdom launched a pioneering movement, stipulating that as long as it was cultivated continuously for three years, it could obtain ownership of newly cultivated land.
The west is vast and sparsely populated. The residents and the main body of the kingdom are not the same nation. It was originally highly autonomous and was forcibly annexed by Stormwind City during the war between humans and trolls. The Kingdom of Stormwind is mainly descended from the Thoradin Empire and believes in the teachings of the Holy Light, while the Westerners are mostly from Gilneas and Alterac and believe in the Harvest Witch, so they are very tolerant of immigrants and other non-Titan creation races. The arrival of a large number of immigrants of all ethnic groups and craftsmen with new technologies brought unprecedented vitality to the west.
However, the good times did not last long. With the influx of capital and church forces from Stormwind City, the government, business and religion colluded, and land annexation became more and more serious. Soon, almost all of the cultivated land with abundant water was occupied by aristocratic landowners and knight lords. Coupled with frequent natural disasters, many farm laborers lost their property and incurred heavy debts and became slaves. The slaves' situation became even more miserable as their masters' harvests failed.
Among the hungry people there were many fugitives like the Windsors and their children, who wore turbans and hid from the public. They are wanted everywhere, not only will they not be let go by the church and the kingdom, but even civilians can catch them in exchange for rewards.
Oster was powerless to do anything about it, and the healing techniques he had secretly learned had long been used up. I am not the savior. I can save a few people, but I cannot save the entire world.
At best, he was just a lone adventurer, which was why he hurriedly said goodbye to Windsor and his son.
