Is that older sister Levi’s former companion or subordinate?
Knowing this, Inai naturally couldn't say anything, but she still nodded seriously.
"Got it, I'll remember it!"
"Good boy, now, are you going to the Autumn Harvest Festival? Go quickly, and be careful not to fall again..."
"Yes~"
After agreeing, Inai quickly pulled up the still dazed Juna and ran away...
On the way out, Jiuna couldn't help but whisper, "So, that sister, is she Lord Levi's partner?"
Ina was still frightened. "Yes, I was scared to death...Juna, you almost gave yourself away, did you know that? No, that old man definitely saw through something, but he didn't continue because of the interruption from that fat pig..."
"Poof, fat pig..."
When she thought of the extravagantly dressed Bai, Jiuna couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Then, Inai suddenly realized something.
"Hey, what did that fat pig call that uncle just now? Carl... General Carl the 'Black Wolf'?!"
As a person from the Kingdom of Abyss, it is impossible that he has not heard of this name. The great general of the Kingdom of Abyss is also the guardian god of the kingdom that the king values the most...
...Such an important figure actually has to salute that fat pig. Is he from the empire?
At that moment, Inai's expression became quite bad...
Chapter 116 Autumn Harvest Festival
Inai came to her senses at this moment. The man they had just faced was actually the kingdom's patron saint, General "Black Wolf" Carl?
For the residents of this border town, he was a big shot that they would never dare to even think about.
However, Inai immediately shook his head, "So what? No matter how great I am, I can't compare to Lord Levi..."
That’s right, Inai had seen Levi with his own eyes, not to mention…
"…If the general wants to capture Lord Levi's companions, then he is a bad guy!"
So, Ina naturally did not tell him the truth, but such a great general actually had to speak to that fat pig-like man in a humble manner.
There is only one possibility, that the other party is an envoy sent by the empire, representing the emperor's will.
Of course, let alone General Karl, even the King of the Abyss Kingdom would have to treat the other party with courtesy and politeness when meeting him.
Even children know very well that people in the empire are "superior people", and those of them who were born in dependent countries are naturally inferior to the people of the empire.
What's more, the other party is an envoy sent by the empire.
However, is all this trouble just to catch that big sister?
Thinking of this, Inai couldn't help but feel a little worried. After all, she saw clearly that there were quite a few people in that cavalry, and they were all wearing military uniforms. There were not only people from the Abyss Kingdom, but also soldiers from the Empire.
It can be seen that the empire really attaches great importance to Levi's accomplices, and even forced the kingdom's guardian god to come out in person to capture them.
However, the Empire did not mobilize any combat forces other than ordinary soldiers. It seemed that it was planning to take advantage of the Kingdom's combat power for free.
However, the kingdom naturally had no way of raising any objection to this, because for such a long time, the empire had completely grasped the lifelines of all the vassal states.
Maybe the empire cannot make the lives of its vassal states that it likes better, but it can definitely make the lives of its vassal states that it dislikes worse than death.
Under such circumstances, this is all we can do...
Of course, as a child, Inai couldn’t understand these complicated causes and conditions. She was just simply worried about her older sister.
When we returned to the town, the lively Autumn Harvest Festival had already begun. There were gatherings during the day. In addition to the invited merchants selling various things that were not seen on weekdays, there were also invited theater troupes performing.
Naturally, Gamerica couldn't hire any big theater troupe, and could only hire small, third-rate troupes that had no reputation at all.
But even so, it was enough for the residents of the small town of Gamélica. The cannons were fired, the troupe began to perform their shows with all their might, and the gathered townspeople surrounded the troupe in three layers, making it impossible to get through.
Although it looked crowded with people, fortunately Ina and Juna were children after all, and their thin bodies made it easier for them to squeeze into the crowd. What's more, the adults were also willing to give way to the children, and when they saw the two little ones, they took the initiative to give up their seats to them.
After all, everyone in the town is an acquaintance. You’ll see each other everywhere. If you call them uncle or aunt, who would have the nerve to not give way to the two cute little girls?
The two of them quickly squeezed to the front row and watched the performance excitedly with a group of children.
The performance was wonderful, at least from the perspective of Ina and Juna.
However, Inai couldn't fully muster up his interest, despite enjoying the performance.
Because he was worried about the safety of the older sister. After all, the kingdom had sent out a great general, and in the hearts of the people of the kingdom, the other party's strength and reputation were well-known.
As for how capable that older sister is, to be honest, Ina definitely has no idea.
Because of such worries, Inai felt that the rare performances were not interesting anymore.
Apparently, it wasn't just Ina. Juna, who had been looking forward to the Harvest Festival and had been counting the days on her fingers since a week ago, also seemed a little absent-minded at the moment.
"...Juna"
Ina tugged at the corner of Juna's clothes, and the latter immediately understood.
"…What should I do? Should I go find that big sister and tell her to be careful?"
"Does anyone know where that big sister is now? Hmm, maybe she's still in the woods? If that's the case, anyway, find a way to inform the big sister and ask her to be careful..."
The two little guys were biting each other's ears. After all, the troupe's performance was too lively and the attention of the people around was on the troupe, so no one noticed what the two little guys said.
Because they were too worried, they no longer had the energy to watch the performance and simply withdrew from the crowd.
People around didn't pay much attention to the two little guys. After all, although the troupe's performance was lively, there were other fun things to do. Children are quick-tempered by nature, and they might suddenly have the urge to try something new.
After all, today is a rare holiday. There is no need to think too much. Just enjoy the celebration with peace of mind.
Ina and Juna squeezed out of the crowd and discussed quietly. Finally, they came to the conclusion that the envoy sent by the empire and General Carl must be very powerful, so they had to tell the older sister to be careful.
After all, they were just two kids, and they couldn't think too much. The straightforward thinking pattern of country kids made them decide to take action immediately.
So, the two of them carefully left the town and set out for the grove again.
Once again, we came to the open space in the grove, and sure enough, we could no longer find the big sister where the statue of the brave man was.
The two of them walked around but didn't see anyone, and couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It seems that my elder sister is no longer here..."
Jiuna looked around, while Ina spread his hands calmly.
"That can't be helped. Big sister may have sensed the danger herself. So let's just leave it at that. If we can't find her, we'll go back..."
Before he could finish his words, a voice suddenly came.
"What are you two doing here?"
"!"
The two little ones were shocked when they heard the voice and quickly turned their heads to the man they had met once before... General Karl slowly walked towards them.
When did you come? I didn't hear any footsteps.
The other party seemed to be able to completely destroy his breath, and approached him silently like a wolf hunting its prey.
The expression on Karl's face was very calm, and his tone was quite gentle...
"It's the Harvest Festival now, why don't you watch the performances in town instead of coming here to play?"
"Well, I just wanted to come. No one has stipulated that we must watch the performances in town during the Autumn Harvest Festival, right?"
Juna was no longer able to speak, so Inai took the initiative to speak. Carl listened and still nodded with a smile.
"Yes, no one has such a rule. However, it's okay if you just come to play. But who is this 'big sister' you mentioned just now, little sister?"
At that moment, the man's expression suddenly became serious, and his tone became extremely serious...
"…If you are a good kid, just tell us what you know. Don't be afraid. As long as you speak out, no one will blame you!"
"!!!"
Chapter 117 Dilemma
When the man in front of him lowered his voice and adopted a serious tone, even though he did not deliberately adjust the expression on his face, an astonishing courage was released from him.
No matter what, he is also the great general of the Abyss Kingdom, a man who has truly rolled out of a pile of dead bodies. If he really wants to kill, let alone two underage girls, even a strong adult man would probably be weak in front of him.
After all, Jiuna and Ina were just ordinary country girls. How could they possibly withstand his aura? They instantly felt like they couldn't even breathe smoothly.
Faced with this situation, there was no change on Carl's face, but he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.
He also felt that it was extremely shameful for a great general of a country to be reduced to the point of threatening two children.
But there was no way. After all, this was a direct order from the emperor of the empire. Whether Karl was willing or not, this matter had to be explained immediately.
After all, if their Kingdom of Abyss cannot give an explanation to the Empire, then the Empire must give an explanation to the Kingdom of Abyss.
No matter how powerful the empire is, the current Abyss Kingdom cannot bear it. General Carl is backed by the millions of people of the entire Abyss Kingdom, and he has no other choice.
"As long as you speak the truth, no one will blame you..."
He tried so hard to get Ina and Juna to tell each other's whereabouts, but even though Juna was about to cry under the pressure of his aura, Ina still gritted his teeth and held his head high.
"I don't know, I don't know what you are talking about!"
"..."
I have to say, when General Carl saw Inai's eyes, he couldn't help but want to praise him, even though he had seen countless tough guys in his life.
After all, those tough guys are adult men, and this is just an underage girl.
but……
"…So, do these two country brats know the whereabouts of the wanted criminal?"
An unpleasant voice was heard behind General Karl, and the ostentatious Baiyi had arrived at the scene at some point.
No, he should have come with Karl from the beginning. He originally wanted Karl to handle the matter, but when he saw that Inai chose to refuse to admit it, he became a little impatient.
"Then just arrest him and interrogate him."
Hearing what Bai said, General Karl immediately said, "...Wait a minute, Mr. Bai, they are just two children, they must have been deceived by sweet words."
Having said that, he continued to look at Ina and Juna, "Good kids, stop helping the bad guys hide things, just tell me, uncle promises that nothing will happen to you!"
"Big sister is not a bad person, you who want to catch big sister are the bad people!"
Finally unable to hold back, Ina blurted out the words subconsciously, and as soon as she said this, she regretted it...
“Oh, you said it yourself…” Baiyi immediately seized on this excuse, sneered twice and looked at Karl, “…Even if there is no information about the whereabouts of the suspect, this kid actually dared to make such a statement publicly, he should be disciplined!”
"..."
Carl's face had an extremely complicated expression. Ina's words could be said to be a big deal or a small deal. After all, if he had to correct it and openly supported the rebels, this matter would become a big deal and not only Ina, but even Carl would not be able to handle it.
Of course, you can say it's a small matter. After all, to put it bluntly, it can be said that it was just an unintentional remark by the child, and it is not difficult to make an excuse for it.
But whether it will be a big or small matter depends on how the person handling this matter intends to deal with it, and obviously, now the Bayi intends to deal with it in a big way.
Carl was naturally very embarrassed facing this situation. He certainly didn't want to make things difficult for the two children, but he couldn't neglect the empire's orders. Being caught in the middle was a real headache.
Just when I was having a headache, a turning point came...
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air, and a palm-sized dagger flashed a cold light and attacked towards Carl.
Carl was not at all surprised or panicked. He just heard a clinking sound, and Carl raised his hand and used his wrist guard to push away the dagger.
"?!"
However, except for Carl, everyone else at the scene was stunned by this sudden change. In the direction where the dagger came from, the figure of the blue-haired woman in light leather armor flashed and quickly disappeared into the depths of the grove.
"We found the person, Lord Bai!"
Carl immediately realized something and spoke to the Bayi beside him. The Bayi over there had obviously completely lost interest in Ina and Juna, and his attention was all on the blue-haired woman who had already appeared.
After all, his original mission this time was to catch the other party, and he made things difficult for Ina and Juna just to find the whereabouts of the blue-haired woman.
Since the other party has shown up, the first priority is naturally to catch him as soon as possible. As long as he is caught, Ina and Juna will be completely unimportant matters.
"Now that you've found it, why are you still standing there? Go chase it!"
