Chapter 46: The Lizard and thened their eyes Everyone felt hopeless These people thought that they couldn't do anything against these brutal guards
This moment Yes, a short ht blended with a silvery light Strangely, no sound was heard
No one spoke and no onethe iht in front of their eyes
The sword, whose blade was supposed to cut the young girl's ar mysterious It was as if the wind took the sword away The sword looked like it danced in the mid-air And then, amidst the silence of the area, we heard a round
It was a short moment Yet, too sudden for everybody's eyes The wind of sand ca and ”blew” everybody'slike this」
It was Lugis' voice Lugis earing a green garirl that was about to lose an arm
Sereal's mouth relaxed for a briefunsatisfactory afterwards ”Why did he help ht Sereal felt a little wary and puzzled about everything that had just happened
”How did this man appear here anyway?” Sereal's eyes swayed a little, and her heart was relieved but, at the same time, conflicted
No one would've been capable of interceding in this situation It was a perilous situation for the young girl Indeed Her arm was supposed to pay the price for her sin It was supposed to be cut and separated from her upper body Yet, this man appeared out of nowhere He tried to avoid this horrible scenario fro He even had rusty knives What could those old knives do against swords? It was impossible This probably happened with the power of witchcraft
In the blink of an eye, this man appeared amidst the dusty horizon in order to save the day
「…Who the hell are you? Do you understand the weight of your actions? 」
The guards were stunned by the actions of this is and the uards strengthened their eyes so much that their pupils resembled those of reptiles Yes, alan to fret over this entire situation
「There's no reason to fret, Lizard What I did wasn't that extraordinary I just bleay the sword that was going to fall on the ar?」
—
I knew that disgusting man because of his peculiar eyebrows
I didn't know that special guard's naure was quite familiar Yes I clearly remembered this man, the Vice Commander, from one time when I went to Garoua Maria
Selfish and authoritarian His nickname was Lizard It eird why his subordinates called hie nicknae There was no doubt about it His eyes were like the eyes of reptiles Of lizards
「…This girl is a fellow of a thief It is our role as guards to punish the sinners If you get in our way, you'll receive the same treatment as a sinner」
The Lizard spoke to me He narrowed his eyes and didn't even try to hide his unpleasant tone when he spoke toActually, I felt that nothing good would come from my interference on his ”act of justice”
The Lizard continued to speak He explained that a thief stole sooods froed to escape and hid on the Poor People's cave because it was easy to hide frouards Besides, he had help to hide away froirl as his informant
「I see You really have your hands full, huh That's why you were trying to cut the arirl」
「Hue If you understand it, just hand over the girl to us」
Maybe he are that I was that thief's felloell After all, he was holding his scabbard in order to strikeback now
I rasp the seriousness of the situation I carefully evaluatedthe Lizard One could say they were just a few But, for some reason, the people of the Poor People's cave were kind of unreliable in this situation
Still, I couldn't let Filaret coood Everything would be useless if these people were to find out about her identity Theto hide her face would be lost That's why I had to bring h condition A lone ith an old knife against five eneood move It was actually quite reckless Only those ere powerful could use some unreasonable recklessness, because their power and status would protect them at any costs Even a, they would have a certain back up They wouldn't have to deal with unnecessary troubles unlike the poor people
Indeed Powerful huive you the girl? If ere on that walled city, I would probably reconsider it But, you knohat? We're in the Poor People's cave This place is not Garoua Maria as far as I can see」
The Lizard's eyebrow raised slightly upon hearing my words His body hardened even ressive he ithI tried to reason with hiue This Lizard man was s about No doubt about it Actually, he tried to be a fool by pretending he didn't knohat I meant But, I knew perfectly well how his cleverness worked He won't be able to fool , bastard 」
「Yeah, you knohat I uards within the Poor People's cave So, ifsuch ruckus around here? You have no reason nor excuse to interfere with our lives」
Yes The walled city-state of Garoua Maria had the legal jurisdiction only within the walls
The inhabitants of the Poor People's cave were not citizens of the walled city-state nor were they wanderers They were just poor people that camped outside of Garoua Maria
