Chapter 1287: Chapter 737: Do You Need Help?

“Belial, Belial, are you there?”

A shadow approached the carriage and whispered.

Belial, who was originally tired from crying and was about to sleep in a daze, suddenly awoke upon hearing his na.

This voice was all too familiar to him, and he hurriedly replied:

“Dad, Dad, is that you?”

Hearing Belial’s voice, the black figure trembled and quickly ca to Belial’s side.

By relying on the starlight above, Belial could clearly see the face of the person who ca.

It was his father, Aio, the captain of the Brown Village Hunting Team!

At the mont he saw his father, the panic and uneasiness in Belial’s heart erupted instantly.

Tears stread from his already swollen eyes.

When he was grabbed from the village by those Black Armored Knights from the Hunting Temple, Belial felt abandoned by the village and his father.

After all, the might of the Hunting Temple had always deeply imprinted itself in everyone’s heart.

Later, Belial recalled that crimson stain among all the villagers.

And at that occasion, the village elder was nowhere to be seen.

Belial was no longer a child; he vaguely guessed sothing.

But at the mont he saw his father, his cold heart once again surged with warmth.

Nonetheless, he quickly covered his mouth, suppressing his sobs.

He, having started to mature, understood very well that his father had co here at great risk.

If he cried at this mont, he might wake the Black Armored Knights.

Aio didn’t say much either, calmly beginning to dismantle the iron lock on the wooden cage of the carriage.

At this ti, other children also awakened.

But they all widened their eyes, looking at Aio with expectation hidden in their eyes, none making any noise.

…

Aio carefully fumbled for the iron chain locking the wooden cage.

With so Hunter skills, his hands were quite dexterous, careful not to make a sound.

To him, Belial was his only child.

After returning from Zeke City to Brown Village, he understood that Zeke City and the Hunting Temple were places that would devour people without leaving their bones.

Except for those high-ranking figures, everyone else was expendable.

Besides a few Lucky ones who could keep climbing upwards, for the vast majority, rely surviving was already quite good.

When Aio was young, he also thought about joining the Hunting Temple, at worst becoming a resident of Zeke City.

But that experience made him understand that even if he beca a resident of Zeke City, he would only have beco a more loyal dog to those high-ranking figures.

So, Aio chose to return to Brown Village.

To marry and have children, to live out his life, that was enough for Aio.

But all this was completely destroyed at this mont.

He was unwilling for it to be so!

When he saw Belial being taken away by the Black Armored Knights of the Hunting Temple, he couldn’t help but want to intervene forcibly.

But he forced himself to calm down.

Because he knew very well that with his skill, he couldn’t beat even the weakest Black Armored Knight.

Moreover, a rash action might anger those warriors of the Hunting Temple, potentially leading to the destruction of the entire Brown Village.

Cald down, Aio used his Experience, following behind the Black Armored Knights all the way,

watching them put the children into wooden cages, and as so of the knights left, seemingly heading to other villages.

He waited until several Black Armored Knights fell asleep before cautiously approaching.

Click～

With a soft sound, the iron chain on the wooden cage was unlocked.

Aio carefully opened the wooden cage, bringing the children down one by one.

The children didn’t delay, took one look at Aio, and rushed off into the distance.

All the children brought here were from poor villages, and they learned to mature early.

They all carefully lowered their voices, quickly escaping from there.

Only at this ti was Belial embraced in his father’s arms.

“Woo woo～”

Belial dared not say much, simply held onto his father, unwilling to let go.

“Alright.”

Aio didn’t say much, patted Belial’s head, picked him up, and placed him nearby.

Then Aio continued to open the wooden cages of other carriages.

There were at least over a hundred children locked up.

Aio didn’t intend to leave imdiately, he knew the longer they stayed, the greater the risk.

Not to ntion, just the sound of the children’s moving could possibly wake the Black Armored Knights.

But Aio still decided to do this.

First, because there were other children from Brown Village taken, although he couldn’t take everyone, he at least wanted to give the other children a chance.

Secondly, if he only opened one wooden cage to let its children go, who knows if the other children would shout and wake the knights.

Aio knew very well, now was not the ti to place hope in others.

Once Aio opened all the wooden cages, the children inside started to flee in droves, Aio then carried Belial and swiftly ran towards the distant mountains and forests.

Just after Aio left,

Bang!

As one child was leaving the carriage, perhaps due to standing too long, lost balance and directly fell off the carriage with a muffled thud.

Awoken by the sound of the children’s departure, a Black Armored Knight jolted awake and hurriedly sat up.

He turned and looked towards the carriage, dumbfounded, as he found the children whom they had locked up were escaping.

Perhaps realizing the Black Armored Knight had awakened, the children, unable to suppress their inner fear any longer, imdiately ran swiftly towards the distant horizon.
