Karlin was still desperately chewing her food.
She was very hungry.
Really too hungry.
It had been many days since she had eaten real food, and her body was already weakened by starvation. The temptation of food even overpowered her fear of death. Even faced with the glaring tip of a gun, she was still desperately swallowing the food in her mouth.
Her neck, made extra slender by malnutrition, was desperately writhing, trying to swallow the at before she died.
Even with her eyes tightly closed, she could still feel the chilling cold released from the tip of the gun.
Death might be a release, at least she wouldn’t have to endure torture in this terrible world. It’s okay, just a mont, and then she would no longer feel any pain.
Karlin was waiting for death to co, but after a long wait, the agony did not descend. She opened her eyes with fear and confusion, her body trembling abruptly. The sharp gunpoint was less than three centiters above her eyes, sharp enough that Karlin instinctively felt her eyes sting.
What is going on?
She didn’t think these noble lords would be so kind as to spare her life.
Her puzzled gaze followed the long spear, and she saw a hand grasping the middle of it. No matter how hard the knight lord tried, the spear remained motionless. It was a tall figure; he was dressed in clothes that looked very expensive, probably also a noble lord.
Under the moonlight, Karlin could see his face covered with frost.
She was puzzled, wondering why a noble lord would help soone like her, a dirty commoner.
Seemingly noticing her gaze, the man looked at Karlin and smiled at her.
A very gentle smile; Karlin had almost forgotten how long it had been since soone had smiled at her.
The knight lord’s face had turned a deep red. He seed very angry, his face contorted in anger giving Karlin chills. She couldn’t help but worry about the person who had saved her, whether he might be hard by the knight.
The knight was furious. Was he actually being interrupted while punishing a commoner?
"Damn, how dare you stop , Guard Knight Zahar? I would like to see who is so foolhardy..." Zahar, the knight, roared, turning his head to look to the side.
However, his body shuddered violently the mont his gaze reached the cold face.
In a re second, he showed what it ant to change faces.
His expression changed from anger to shock, then from shock to fawning, and even Qin Chu admired his skill at changing faces.
His originally stiff body quickly bent, his face plastered with a fawning smile: "So it is Mr. Brave..."
Mr. Brave? Karlin continued to chew her food quickly while casting a curious glance at the man.
So this was the legendary Mr. Brave?
She had heard that to combat the ferocious demons, the nobles had summoned the Second Generation Brave Warrior after the death of the First Generation Brave. But these things had little to do with commoners.
In Karlin’s view, living under the rule of the nobles and being trampled by demons made no significant difference; it was just a matter of how quickly one died.
"Your na is Zahar, is it?" Qin Chu glanced at the knight kneeling in front of him: "What are you doing?"
"Reporting to Mr. Brave, I was executing a commoner who attacked a noble," Zahar imdiately reported.
He saw nothing wrong with his actions, as a commoner intruding into the Noble District deserved death, especially since she had kicked him and added an attack on a noble to her cris. Executing her once was even a bonus for her.
Qin Chu did not pay further attention to Zahar but crouched down: "What is your na?"
Karlin was dazed. She had not expected that soone of such esteed status as Mr. Brave would talk to her, and she beca montarily dumbfounded.
A knight standing beside her, seeing this, imdiately kicked her thin body: "You lowly commoner, didn’t you hear Mr. Brave asking you a question? Answer quickly."
The knight’s boot, made of tal, was very hard, and a pained expression clearly appeared on Karlin’s face, but she dared not delay. She knew that if she hesitated, more dreadful torture awaited her. She quickly responded, "My na is Karlin!"
Qin Chu smiled gently: "Karlin... What a lovely na."
After arriving here, Qin Chu had recognized her identity. Karlin was the girl he had helped during his first week.
When Qin Chu first arrived in this world, seeing Karlin rummaging through a filthy dumpster for food, he couldn’t bear it and asked Rose Vesper to lend him a hundred Mana to give to Karlin, hoping she could buy so clean food.
Unfortunately, that hundred Mana was quickly stolen. When Qin Chu t Karlin again, her legs had even been broken and, because too much ti had passed, they couldn’t be healed with magic. She could only crawl on the ground, living off garbage, and the prolonged suffering had made Karlin weak and emaciated.
Qin Chu had wanted to adopt Karlin, but Rose Vesper had told him that he was the Brave Warrior, and he bore a more important responsibility.
On Sky Do Continent, there were countless people as miserable as Karlin waiting to be saved. He couldn’t focus all his energy on Karlin; only by completely eliminating the demons could he end the tragedy.
