After Awiday left, he left Graylers standing alone, and Chen Mo was also watching from behind, and he didn't bother until Grayles left.

Natila watched all this, but didn't know what to make of it.

At first glance, it seems that Grayles is trying to protect Miss Linna, as if he has done nothing wrong. But from Bishop Awight's point of view, there doesn't seem to be a problem.

So he asked Chen Mo, "Store manager, I don't think Master Grellers has done anything wrong?"

Chen Mo took a leisurely sip of tea and replied, "From Graylers' point of view, it is true that there is nothing wrong with it, and from our point of view, this is also to protect Linna. But, from Lina's point of view?"

That's right, whether it's Awight in the past or Gray Leres now, they are just thinking about Lina from their own perspective. But Lena will always grow up, she will have her own ideas, she will have her own path to take. No one can interfere with someone all the time.

"Linna's angle?" and Natila was still a little confused. What is Lina's angle?

Thinking about it, I had to sort out the wine bottles in Grellers' place. was stopped by Chen Mo.

"If you want to know, don't pick it up, wait a minute. ”

And just when Natila was confused.

The bell rang in the tavern. Natila looked and saw that it was Lina, and she was back.

As soon as she walked into the tavern, Lina said, "Boss, I still don't think something is right. ”

Then she saw where Grellers had been, with only a bottle and an unfinished glass of wine left.

He frowned and realized that something was wrong.

"Store manager, you're really lying to me. ”

Chen Mo didn't hide it: "That's right, I lied to you." ”

That's when Lina finally understood what was wrong. Thinking back to the look on Greiles' face at the time, everything could be explained.

He asked, "So... Uncle doesn't want me to go to the rating assessment?"

Chen Mo nodded: "That's right." ”

When Lina heard this answer, her expression seemed to be hesitant for a moment, and she asked, "Then...... Why did he help me register as an adventurer and teach me how to handle the mission?"

Chen Mo said: "Registering an adventurer is the attention of Archbishop Awight, as for why he taught you how to deal with the task, it is just a misunderstanding. He always thought you would go back just to experience it. ”

"Then why did he tell me those adventures, and pick me up when I was running away from home?"

"That's him coaxing kids, after all, at that time you were only interested in this kind of thing. Why don't you want to think about why you were taken back by the archbishop soon after you didn't answer?"

"That's... He's not ......"

Lina wanted to say something again, but was interrupted by Chen Mo.

"Don't think about it, even if there is, it's just a misunderstanding. Everything you thought was the lie of Archbishop Awilet and Greiles, who only told you that your parents died in the Abyssal War, but they didn't tell you how. ”

"Since you were a child, they only taught you healing spells, cultivated your talent for healing spells, and taught you etiquette...... All this is just to keep you away from strife. The adventure stories that I told you, did you notice that none of those people ended well......"

"Including the Adventurers' Guild, they have already greeted that side, in fact, you can't register an adventurer without the consent of Graylers and Bishop Awight. ”

These sentences have turned into ruthless knife marks, scratching the good things of the past.

Memories come flooding back, that time. He taught her magic and told her all sorts of fantastical adventures. Comfort her when she is sad and laugh with her when she is happy. It's like a father.

But now she's told that it's all for a purpose. She lives under a lie that has been weaved.

"Why?"

"Because he just wants to protect you. ”

After speaking, Chen Mo suddenly walked to the door of the tavern. As soon as he pulled it, he saw that Grayles was standing silently in the doorway.

It's not just Lina who comes back, but also Grayles.

"How does it feel to stand here and listen to it for so long?"

Graylers smiled dryly, "Linna......"

In response, it was Linna's expression full of mixed emotions, tears rolling in her eyes.

For a moment, Greiles only felt how failed he had been.

Then, seeing that Linna didn't look back, she rushed out.

"What, don't you chase it?"

Greiles turned, just took the first step, but failed to take the second step.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, he said, "I'm not qualified." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Natila suddenly rush out. Leave a sentence: "Store manager, I already know!"

Then it disappeared into the streets.

Grellers looked at this figure, stunned, and came back to his senses for a long time: "I didn't expect you to keep a hand." ”

Chen Mo smiled, didn't speak, and led Grayles into the tavern.

After sitting down, Chen Mo poured wine and asked Graylers, "Have you seen all of them just now?"

Here, Chen Mo refers to Linna's presence

"See," Greiles said. I didn't expect you kid to play such a ruthless game. He sighed again, "If you do this, then it will be difficult for me to do it." ”

Chen Mo smiled: "What you want is that you are difficult to do." ”

Grelles took a sip of his wine and said, "You're pushing me again." ”

"I didn't force you. Chen Mo spread his hands and said that he was innocent.

Graylers rolled his eyes back.

Then, he began to drink.

It wasn't until the bottle was almost finished that Grelles spoke again, "I...... Is this something wrong?"

Chen Mo replied: "Your original intention is not wrong. ”

Grellers felt a little confused: "What do you say?"

"You're doing it wrong. As Lena grows up, lies are always broken. It's better to poke it yourself than to be discovered by her. ”

After listening to Chen Mo's answer, Graylers fell into distress: "But I really can't bear to watch Linna go down that path. Becoming an adventurer meant that she would face many dangers in the future. And Heick Morris...... You know what that place is. ”

"The choice is yours. ”

After speaking, the wine was finished.

Graylers and Chen Mo looked at each other for a while, and the two had a silent exchange.

In the end, it ended in the defeat of Grayles.

Throwing down his glass, Grellus stood up and left the tavern.

Chen Mo looked at the figure of Graylers and sighed. Recall what Bishop Awight said when he conspired with Bishop Awight.

Chris's death still had too much impact on Grayles, and his death, in Grayles' view, had a great deal to do with him. He had at least three chances to keep Chris out of the ordinary. ”

So, Grellers attributed Chris's sacrifice to his own reasons, and then fell into deep self-blame. ”

Therefore, in Grayles' love for Awight, there is a redemption for himself. And what we're going to do is break it, and that's for Lena and for Grayles. ”

Thinking of this, Chen Mo sighed again: "This is really, it's hard to do......"

......

Time pulls back.

After Natila chased after her, she was looking for Linna's traces.

In the end, it was under the guidance of an old man in a white robe that he found Lina in an alley.

At this time, Lina was crouching in the corner and crying.

Natila crept over and called softly, "Miss Linna?"

Hearing Natila's voice, Lina raised her head, and the tears from the corners of her eyes were particularly bright.

This is something that Natila has never seen in Linna, and in Natila's impression, Lina should be a lively and cheerful girl all the time, as if emotions such as crying have nothing to do with her.

Lina looked at Natila, suppressed her crying, and said, "Natila, what are you doing here?"

Natila replied, "I'm coming for you?"

"You're coming for me?" Lena wondered.

Then he saw Natila also crouch down, and said, "Miss Lina, I know what you think now!"

Linna: ???

Natila continued, "Miss Lina wants to go to the grading test and then to Heick Morris, right?"

"How do you know?"

Natila replied, "The store manager told me." ”

Lina has a black thread. Thinking of everything Chen Mo had just said to himself, he came back to his senses and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

What are you doing?!

Then, I heard Natila say, "Since you want to do it, then do it!" The store manager once said that you will follow your own path. ”

Hearing this, Lina pursed her lips and said, "You little ghost, what can you understand?" It's all the store manager who is saying this, and you are his microphone." ”

Natila quickly shook her head and said, "No, just like now, I'll catch up with you, this is my own attention! Don't look at me as young, I know everything!"

Looking at Natila's silly appearance, Lina somehow suddenly laughed: "Hahaha, you are so funny." ”

The tears also gradually dissipated in the laughter.

Seeing this, Natila touched her head in confusion. I didn't know what was going on, but I laughed along.

Lena beckoned and motioned for Natila to come over and sit beside her. Then he told his own story.

"I haven't seen my father since I was born. My mother passed away shortly after I was born. So I wasn't very impressed with them. ”

"I know that since I became sensible, it was Uncle Gray and Grandpa Awight who were with me. They used to tell me that my parents were heroes. Uncle Greyres told me about their deeds, too. ”

So, gradually, I thought, my parents are heroes, so I'm going to be a hero too! But I didn't tell my grandfather, his rigid guy would not agree. ”

"When I spoke to Uncle Greiles, he was very happy. Then he taught me healing spells and encouraged me to do my best. He also told me the story of Heike Morris. Until he left the imperial capital......"

Speaking of this, Lina suddenly showed a wry smile: "I only know now that it turns out that Grayles is also the same as my grandfather, but they made up a lie. The story of Heick Morris is just a misunderstanding, they just want me to stay in the imperial capital. ”

Natila interjected, "What about those words of encouragement?"

Lena laughed, "That's just to hold me back, tell me 'you still need to work hard' or 'you have to work hard' or something like that." It's like every time I run away from home, Greiles comes back to pick me up, and the next day, Grandpa arrives. ”

Natila pondered, then said, "They may be protecting you in their own way. ”

"Maybe. But what I want is not protection, what I want is encouragement, encouragement after I become an adventurer, an affirmation from my participation in the rating assessment!I don't want to be a canary in a cage!" The more she spoke, the more intense Linna's tone became, and finally, it turned into a roar.

Then, his eyes turned into loneliness: "But these thoughts have not been understood by them, and they even use lies to stop me." ”

Natila looked at Lina at this moment, and what she saw in her eyes was a kind of disappointment, and a trace of confusion.

Somehow, Natila suddenly had a lot of things to say in her heart, and she didn't vomit or be unhappy: "Miss Linna, although I don't know what you plan to do now, but I want to say, if you have any ideas, then say it!

Will you go on?" Lena looked at Natila in front of her, surprised at why he could say such a thing. He smiled and said, "I didn't expect that now it's your turn to comfort me." ”

Seeing this, Natila stood up again, stretched out her hand, pulled Lina up, and said, "Let's go, let's go back, the store manager and I will help you." ”

At this moment, the gloom cleared, and a smile appeared on Linna's face again.

"Well, let's go back. ”
