The Ominous Lord of the Skaven

Chapter 19 Sasha
The boy didn't speak, and Ickert almost forgot his existence.

But he seemed to know something, which surprised Ickert.

"What do you know, go on."

Ickert urged, he wanted to see what the young man had to say.

"My lord, these jackals are actually not stupid. Just like goblins, these guys will kidnap humans as slaves, and they will even drive craftsmen!"

The boy raised his head as he spoke, and the hood that covered his face slid down, revealing his long golden hair that hadn't been washed for many years.

This statement made Ickert three-pointed. After all, the front line is far away, and the transmission of new information is slow. It is normal for there to be a gap in cognition.

It's just that the jackals who can drive human labor are really troublesome.

The boy who bowed his head to the ground, no, the guy who looks like a girl now looked at each other, the dirty face awakened Ickert's memory, and he remembered, isn't this the one who abducted him with a dozen silver coins that day? City Rat"?

And as if knowing that Ickert recognized her, the girl immediately bowed her head and apologized:
"I'm sorry, my lord, I took your money that day."

"."

Frankly speaking, Ickert has never had a good face when facing the guy who cheated him.

However, the other party's unexpected move reduced the loss of the team by mistake. If you have to say it, the two are destined.

"That's kind of what goes around."

Ickert thought in his heart, so he didn't bother with this matter anymore.

"I have nothing to pursue about your previous affairs, but what did you spend my money on?"

Eckert was a little curious.

"My lord, I have used all your money to treat my sister."

"Is that cured?"

"I didn't make it through, I died."

When the girl said this, her tone did not fluctuate, as if she was talking about a very common thing.

"My lord! I can't repay your kindness. I just learned some skills from my father. Please let me become a knight to repay your kindness!"

"Knight? You?"

Ickert sized up the girl. She had thin arms and legs, and she didn't seem to have the fighting power of a peasant woman with a big waist and a round waist.
"Forget about the knight, you might as well do some maid's work with me, I will guarantee you food and clothing in the future."

In fact, not only Ickert, but even everyone in the team didn't believe that she could be a knight. The rats even laughed at this while chopping up the jackal.

In reality, there are so many pretending to be pigs and eating tigers.

And it's kind of embarrassing to have a little girl as a knight or something, to be honest.

"No, my lord! I'm serious!"

The girl was anxious when she heard that, she really planned to be a knight, but she was ordered to be a maid, this is not acceptable!
"Okay, miss, get up from the ground quickly, and put on this quickly!"

The maids came forward and booed, and picked up a small maid uniform in their hands and asked her to put it on.

"Me, me, me."

The girl didn't know what to do for a while, and there was no one around to help her. She looked up at Ikert, but the other party looked indifferent again, and she couldn't count on it.

At a critical juncture, the girl caught a glimpse of a hidden wolf man from the corner of her eye. He had previously pretended to be dead and escaped the sword and spear, and was about to slip away while Ikett and the others were laughing.

Although this slip-up is annoying, it has to be said that this is her chance to prove herself!
"I cum!"

When I first heard this sentence, Ickert still felt that this person was so rude.

But the next scene made him widen his eyes. Just as he said the words to shoot, the surrounding vines seemed to come alive, and he shot straight at the fleeing jackal man!

Shushu, who was still watching the joke just now, was startled by the vines, and hurriedly avoided the shooting circle. Many Shushu lost their balance and fell everywhere.

And before the poor Gnoll could react, he was already entangled in several vines, and was dragged in front of Ickert wailing, with snot and tears all over the ground.

"Aoooo! Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The jackal tried to struggle, but it was useless. The girl controlled the vine to lift it up, and the jackal couldn't exert any more strength.

"Natural mage?"

Ickert saw this and understood it. It turned out that he was a mage. No wonder he dared to come to him to ask for a position.

He conveniently used the fireball technique to blow up the bound gnolls, and Ickert quickly dismounted to help the girl. At this time, she had already shown obvious symptoms of magic power overdraft.

"You are just an apprentice, try not to overclock the spell."

After Ickert finished speaking, he took out a crystal from his arms and let the girl hold it in her hand. The warm magic power was purified by the crystal and then transferred into the girl's body, alleviating her symptoms at once.

The mage in the apprenticeship period can't store enough magic power. Forcibly outputting high magic pressure to cast spells at this time will only damage his body. If it is not for Ickert's presence, there may be some sequelae.

"My lord, are you willing to accept me as a knight?"

Even though it was difficult to breathe due to the overdraft of magic power, the girl still wanted to become Ickert's knight, and Ickert really couldn't figure out why she insisted so much.

"Of course I would, but you have to be my mage, knights don't know magic."

"And I'm also a mage. If you want to follow me, you might as well be my apprentice."

Ickert's profession is a battle mage. Although he is not deep enough in every direction, but fortunately, he has a comprehensive understanding and knows a little bit of everything. Naturally, it is not a problem to guide a magic apprentice.

"The teacher! I am Sasha, Sasha Tangia! I want to be your student!"

"Very good, Sasha, it will take some time to recover after the magic power is overdrawn, so you should stay with me on the horse first, and you can't overclock and cast spells at will in the future."

"I remember, teacher."

Sasha replied, looking very cute.

Along the way, I found a natural mage by accident, and Ickert was also quite happy, feeling that the future of the territory is a little brighter.

"Aris, let the convoy move forward, and send sentries ahead to scout the way! We can't bear any more losses!"

"Follow your orders, young master!"

With the previous lesson, Ickert did not dare to take it too seriously. After a while, two guards mounted horses and went out to explore the road.

But even this can only provide a limited early warning. After several days of marching, the road extending from Donali's main road has come to an end, and there are only occasional smooth forks.

Those forked roads only connect a few powerful territories, and Windsor, where Ictor is going, has been silent for three years!

For three years, it was an unreinforced dirt road, and many vegetation had already covered up the path. Although there was a magic compass brought from the academy to guide the way, the risk of being attacked along the way was still too great.

Sasha saw the teacher's worry in her eyes, and wondered if she could help.

"Excuse me, teacher, where is your territory? I have stayed in the frontline territory before and know some safe paths."

Sasha gradually recovered from the symptoms of magic power overdraft. Due to her childhood experience, she knew some trails in the territory, but she was not sure if she could help his teacher.

"Lord Windsor, we are going to Windsor on the banks of the Vanvna River."

"Wen!!! Windsor!!!"
