A Living Armour Owns A Tavern 37 Two Potato Fish

Gretel borrowed Gus' steel wheelbarrow and went deep inside the forest with her other siblings. While Griffin was pulling the cart, they were hoping that they could find something other than just berries.

"Big sis Gretel! Ms. Sarah specifically told us not to return here!" Griffin reminded her big sister that they were risking their lives yet again by venturing in the deep forest.

"Don't be scared, Griffin! You want to be a knight, right?" said her big sister Gretel.

"What are we doing here anyway, big sis?" asked Cindy nervously.

"Well, I just had an idea! You like sweet stuff, right Cindy? Then, what if we mix forest berries with Mr. Gus' sugar? Or maybe we can find another mysterious vegetable like a potatofis.h.!.+ Maybe we can make a tasty drink from that!" said Gretel proudly.

"Potatofish, really big sister?! There is no such thing! said Cindy.

"Well, if I find some strange vegetable, I'll definitely call it Potatofis.h.!.+" said Gretel proudly.

Cindy can't believe that she is following her lovable sister's idiotic fantasies. "But it's definitely good to find a unique vegetable or two, that would really make Mr. Gus happy," thought Cindy.

"Just please take your knife out, and keep your eyes open,"

Griffin just resigned to the wishes of his elder sister and decided to be on guard and protect them instead.

Gretel, Griffin, Cindy, and Ray, were able to pick about half a kilogram of berries together.

"Okay! This should be enough! Let's go ho..., "

Griffin covered her elder sister's mouth.

"Shh!" said Griffin as he pointed at the moving bushes nearby.

Everyone was cautious and took their knives out. Griffin slowly approached the moving bushes and heard groaning voices.

As Griffin looked at what was hiding behind the bush, he saw two injured men laying on the ground. One man seems to have a broken leg, while the other has blood and bruises all over him. Their clothes we're all b.l.o.o.d.y and tattered.

The injured men saw the glittering knife in Griffin's hands. Although he was still a child, the injured men are in no condition to defend themselves. Fatigue is clearly shown on their weary faces, and it seems they cannot even take a single step anymore.

"Please, Don't kill us. We just want to leave as far as we can, little boy." ---

As Griffin was about to ask something to them, they

were all startled by loud voices that echoed in the forest.

"They must be over there!"----

"You two! Check that side, Let's check this side!"-----

"Yes, Sir!"------

The children dropped down to the ground as fast as they can.

Griffin took a glance and saw that the voices came from a group of iron-clad knights.

"Who are they looking for?" whispered Cindy.

"I'm not sure, but they carry Fahnzel's insignia. Let's just leave," said Griffin.

"But what about them? they can't even walk!" said Gretel.

"Children, Please leave us. We can't involve you in our problems," begged the broken-legged man to the kids.

"He is right Big sis Gretel, I know we can't just leave them either, but you and the others' safety is my top priority!"

As they were about to walk away, Gretel stepped on a stick and made a sharp sound.

"Who goes there!?" ---

The siblings can't help but give a hurtful gaze at their adorable, clumsy elder sister Gretel. She just stood there in cold-sweat and simply gave her siblings a crooked smile.

Griffin the others subconsciously put even more foliage on top of the wounded men.

"What are you doing,

"Kindly put away your weapon kind sir! We are only here to look for food!" shouted Ray with his arms raised in the air.

Two of the knights approached the kids and saw the basket of berries and a few mushrooms.

"Where did your kids came from? I don't think I have seen your faces before." said the first guard.

"We came from Yellowleaf sir!" said Gretel.

"Did you happen to see two men pa.s.s by? They are dangerous fugitives." said the second guard.

"No sir, you're the only people we have seen in the forest," said Cindy.

"What should we do, sir? We can't simply leave the kids alone in the forest!" asked the first guard.

"We have our orders to search for the fugitives. Just send them home!" said the second guard.

"It's getting late. You kids better go home alright?"

"Yes, sir!" ---

As the children were walking away, the second guard saw a glint of light in the corner of his eye.

"Wait!"

The children stopped dead in their tracks.

The guards came closer and took a closer look at the knives on their waist.

"Such beautiful daggers. Where did you get these from?" asked the second guard.

"Oh, Father made these for us. He said we should always carry these around when we're out of the village," said Cindy.

The second guard carefully observed the knives. He was curious about the shape of their daggers since it's not suitable for stabbing. Its material is also something he has never seen before, It's lighter and stronger than Iron. Nevertheless, he still admired the blacksmith who crafted such fine pieces.

"Yellowleaf huh, all right kids. Run along now and go straight home," said the second guard as he gave back Cindy's pairing knife.

The guards walked away from the children to continue the search for the fugitives. Once they were out of view, the children came back to the two injured men. It seems they pa.s.sed out due to exhaustion.

"Let's take them back to Yellowleaf," said Griffin.

"Are you crazy?! The guards said they are fugitives! They might be dangerous!" said Gretel.

"Just look at them! They are not armed, and they are in no shape to crawl on the ground. Killing us is impossible. Besides, I don't think they are bad people at all." said Griffin.

Griffin once desired to be a n.o.ble knight before working in a kitchen, so his instincts of saving people never faded.

"Okay fine! but tie them up just to be sure!" said Gretel.

"It's a little bit too much to tie up the legs of a person with broken legs don't you think, Elder sister?" asked Ray.

"Then tie up only the working leg and let's go already before I change my mind!" said Gretel as she stomped her feet and turned red from embarra.s.sment.

Griffin used his strength to load the tied up persons on the wheelbarrow. Thanks to Gus' ingredients, the kids were starting to get stronger and faster. They don't get tired easily as well. As long as they keep eating Gus' ingredients from his System, they will be boosted by its nutrients.
