It turned out that Jack was in front of the gate of Ateli Castle before, because he saved the father and daughter.
In order to express her gratitude to him, the little girl gave him a little red flower.
So Jack is now in a happy state, and he is in a pretty good mood.
Jason didn't ask any more questions about his affairs.
By the way, Jack and the others also retrieved the two carriages that had to be abandoned in Ateli Castle because of the Tyrannosaurus rex attack.
This is also thanks to the father and daughter, who stopped in front of the two carriages, shouting: "This is Lord Shield Hero's cavalry."
Otherwise, those demihumans who rushed into the castle would definitely take away everything on the carriage without knowing it. Although there was nothing valuable on the carriage, it would at least cause a little loss.
Of course, Jack told Jason all this.
"Did you thank them?"
Anyway, the father and daughter helped, so Jason asked Jack.
"Thanks already, I took some food from the carriage for them on my own initiative, please forgive me."
Jack looked at the flowers in his hands with a smile on his face and hurriedly nodded when he heard Jason's words.
"It's nothing, just a little food, and without them, everything on the carriage would be lost."
Jason shook his head, patted Jack on the shoulder, and said, "Thank you, Sir Shield Hero."
Hearing this, Sier also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then since everyone is here, it's time for us to leave."
Jason turned his head and glanced at everyone, then jumped up and into Filo's carriage.
The group finally set off again.
But when they were about to leave the territory, a large number of demihumans ran over. Of course, they didn't come to block the way, and they didn't have the courage to do so.
It was to express gratitude to Jason and others, and to see them off. After all, it was Jason who killed Yatri, who oppressed the subhumans, and the subhumans here were truly liberated.
Because these subhumans were extremely poor, they could not give anything as a thank-you gift, so they gave Jason some grimace-like masks. It is said that they carried them during sacrifices. They have been passed down from a long time ago and are said to have the ability to exorcise evil spirits.
As for whether or not they could exorcise evil spirits, Jason didn't bother to care. He happily took them and put them all on the carriage. These masks would be useful when comitting necessary murder, arson, and robbery, so how could you miss them?
The demihumans couldn't guess Jason's inner thoughts because murder, fire prevention, and robbery had nothing to do with the hero's identity.
They only knew that when Jason took off the mask, he smiled happily, so they felt relieved, and there was nothing wrong with giving the sacrifice mask.
The demihumans, having settled their concerns, desperately waved their arms to send Jason and the others off.
"Master Jason, looking at you, you seem to be in a good mood. Could it be that these grimace-like masks really have the effect of exorcising evil spirits?"
Raphtalia curiously picked up a mask, looked left and right, but couldn't see anything special about it, though the grimaces on these masks made people feel uneasy.
"Exorcism or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that I promised Fitoria before that if Motoyasu and the others don't bother me, I'll try my best to get along with them peacefully. Anyway, if people find out I don't keep promises, it's not nice."
Jason said while picking and choosing from the masks.
"What does that have to do with these masks?"
Now, Raphtalia was even more puzzled.
"When the time comes, I'll put on a mask and act more quickly, and no one will know I've done anything to Motoyasu and the others, which means I still keep my promise. No one will know anyway."
After hearing Jason's words, Raphtalia, Jack, and the others were stunned for a moment.
"You're not the Shield Hero; you're the devil!"
Everyone roared in their hearts. Of course, no one dared to speak their true thoughts aloud, but after thinking about it carefully, it wasn't a bad idea. People like Motoyasu really were annoying.
"Everyone pick a mask you like."
Jason put a mask on his face and looked at Raphtalia and Filo. "How does it look?"
"It seems, Mr. Jason, that your temperament seems more majestic."
Raphtalia thought for a while. When Jason put on the mask, with that grimace, although he didn't exude any aura, it was still very oppressive, which was quite scary. If she had to describe Jason, she couldn't think of any other adjectives, so she just mentioned his temperament.
"Master is so cool, I want a mask too."
On the contrary, Filo was still screaming heartlessly.
"Yes, everyone gets one."
Jason nodded. There were many masks anyway.
Soon, everyone had their own masks, including Raphtalia and Filo.
"I don't know why, but after wearing this mask, I feel relaxed."
"Hee hee… It feels like you can do anything."
"Haha, and there's a feeling something can be done."
Raphtalia and Filo didn't think too much, but Jack and the others were extremely excited after putting on the masks.
They even took out their own weapons and practiced, moving in the air. For a moment, it looked like a group of demons dancing wildly.
Slowly, murderous aura began to form around them, becoming fiercer and fiercer, as if no matter who appeared in front of them, they would rush forward and tear them to pieces without hesitation.
"Could it be that I've pressured them too much, and now they feel a sense of release after wearing a mask?"
Jason rested his chin, watching them thoughtfully.
"Now they really seem like evil spirits traveling. It just so happens our team doesn't have a name yet. If we get one, it'll be easier to give orders in the future, so..."
Thinking of this, Jason shouted: "Everyone, obey orders!"
In an instant, Jack and the others all stopped together and turned to face Jason.
To be honest, the ten of them, wearing grimace masks, were exuding strong killing intent. If ordinary people were stared at by them, they would likely be scared out of their wits.
"Listen, you've been following me for a while, and now it's time to give your team a name."
Jason stepped onto the edge of the carriage and spoke with vigor.
Jack and the others were also very excited because, in their eyes, this was Jason's recognition of their strength.
"There are ten of you in total, so..."
Jason seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. "From now on, you will be known as the Ten Blades."
"Irene, you're the strongest, so you will be the first blade."
"Lilith, you're the second blade."
"Jack, you've been progressing rapidly recently, so you'll be the third blade. Lilith, don't let Jack surpass you."
