Erin looked up at the starry sky in the sky, the summer night should be extremely hot, but the town of Thorn is located at the northern end of the continent, so the summer climate is quite comfortable, especially the cool breeze blowing at night, which is a rare treat for Erin.

She used to climb the roof of the house with a ladder like she did today, and then blew the wind to look at the stars, and sometimes went back to her room late at night to sleep, but there were also times when she fell asleep while just blowing. And whenever she falls asleep like this, she often has a wonderful dream. The man in the dream suddenly appeared beside him and took her away from the place.

Today, she doesn't have to experience such joy in her dreams anymore, because that person really came.

"It's been a really nice day tonight, but you've got injuries, so don't stay here for too long. Regner climbed up the ladder as well, found a clean spot next to Erin, and sat down.

Erin actually didn't believe that Regner had really found her, she looked up at Regner, the milky white soft moonlight shone on her ugly face, thanks to the scar, many people could hardly see her expression from Erin's face, so they couldn't guess her mood.

But these "many people" do not include Regner, who has been with Erin for so many years, and Regner can even see her mood from her eyes. At this time, Erin looked at her eyes, there was joy, emotion, timidity and fear.

It's no wonder, after all, after being separated from herself for so long, Erin has suffered so much here, and it's normal for her to become more timid and afraid of herself.

Regner leaned over to Erin, smiled gently, and said softly, "You don't have to be afraid of me, Erin. I'm Regner, although I've grown taller, I've changed, and maybe my mentality and personality have changed, but I've always been your Regnar brother, and I won't change to you. So, just like you used to, don't be afraid of me, okay?"

Erin looked at Regner with some hesitation, she was held tightly in Regner's arms when she just woke up, and when she realized that it was him, Irene was very happy and very excited.

However, she had heard Regner say that he had killed all five robbers. The impression of Brother Regna is a naughty on the outside but gentle on the inside, seemingly fearless but actually timid boy, when did he become so contemptuous of even killing people?

"Those robbers...... Did you really kill you?" asked Erin, timidly.

Regner nodded and said softly, "Yes, because they hurt you." ”

Regner gently squeezed the bandaged Erin's right hand, looked at the mutilated little hand wrapped in gauze with some pain, and then whispered: "Erin, I know that I have changed a lot now, but, please believe me, there are some things that I will never change." You were my first friend, and I once swore to protect you from being bullied by anyone. That bastard adoptive father of yours made me almost break my promise, and now, I have finally found you, and I can see that the first thing I saw was such a miserable scene, how can this not make me angry? ”

"But......" Erin hesitated for a long time, but finally plucked up the courage to say, "That's five lives, you...... You shouldn't have killed. ”

Erin's voice trembled slightly, she didn't know if it would make Regner angry if he said such a thing, and it would be terrible if he was angry and punished himself again! If Regner is really angry about this, then ...... This world is really cruel.

However, to Erin's surprise, Regner did not feel the slightest anger at her words. On the contrary, he became very happy because of this, and he smiled and said, "It really hasn't changed at all! ”

"......" Erin didn't know if Regner meant it or if she was laughing at herself.

Ragner continued: "I know you may disagree with my approach, but it has now become my code of conduct, and it does allow me to protect the people around me very effectively. So, I won't change it either. But I still ask for your forgiveness. I'm sorry, Irene, I know it might make you unhappy, but I have to do it to protect you, can you forgive me?"

"I ......" Erin looked at Regner's sincere expression, she was kind and still soft in her heart after all, she nodded lightly, and then said "um".

"Haha, I'm fooled, I don't need your forgiveness!" Regna said with a sudden smirk.

Erin was stunned, Regner's words and such an expression were so familiar to her. Every time Regner and Erin joke about Erin, she would also get angry and ignore Regner. At this time, Regner would put on a sincere look and apologize to Erin, and then the half-elf girl softened her heart because of this, and nodded to forgive Regner. Immediately afterward, Regner would make a grimace and laugh at her again.

"Really...... Hasn't it changed?" Erin looked at Regner's grinning expression, and gradually, her mood improved. She glanced at Regner with some annoyance, and then muttered as before, "Nasty!"

"That's it!" Regner was surprised to see Erin's expression: "This is Irene, this is my Irene!hahahaha! My Erin hasn't changed, my Erin is back!hahahaha!"

Erin watched Regner grinning there, unconsciously infected by his emotions, and she gradually "giggled" and laughed.

"It's been too long. Regner said abruptly after laughing.

"What?" Erin was a little puzzled by Regner's endless sentence.

"The two of us have been apart for too long. Regna said: "At that time...... What's going on?"

Erin silently looked up at the bright starry sky, the summer breeze stirred her long silver-white hair, she quietly enjoyed the touch of nature, and then said softly, "I was picked up by my mother." ”

"I know. Regner nodded, he'd heard Erin say that her coolie adoptive father had a wife. It was a hardworking and kind woman, and it was likely that Erin's personality was influenced by that woman, and at the same time, Erin also influenced Regner later.

"Later, my mother ...... Mom is gone. Erin said sadly, "Dad has always been bad to me, and in the end, he sold me into a gang." ”

With the care of a woman before, Irene's childhood was not happy, but it was still happy. But the heavens were so cruel that the woman died of an illness when Irene was seven or eight years old. Since then, the half-elf girl has been living with her adoptive father.

Without the protection of a woman, Erin's life fell from the world to hell in an instant, and her adoptive father was alcoholic and violent. Erin was beaten by him many times and her body was blue and purple. Later, the selfish man also sold her to traffickers for a few gold coins.

"And then?" asked Regner, who he had pressed the coolie about these things, but what happened next, he did not know.

"Later......" Erin thought for a moment, then continued, "and then those people wanted to sell me to ...... Sell to that kind of place......"

"What?!" Regner's eyes flashed, could it be that Erin had ever been sold into a brothel? she was just a little girl in her early teens! If that was the case, then Regner would have to find out everyone, including the coolie, and settle the score.

"But no one wants me to ......" Erin smiled complicatedly, touching her burned cheek and said, "Because of my face, I don't want to ...... anywhere like that."

"......" Regner was speechless, he didn't expect that it was her own ugliness that saved Erin in the end......

"Then they had no choice but to sell me as a slave. But I'm too small and skinny, and no one wants me. They almost killed me. Erin continued, with a hint of fear in her tone, and as you can imagine, the situation was far more dire than she was now.

"Damn!" Regner's forehead was bruised, this group of human traffickers was so hateful, for those few gold coins to kill innocent and weak lives so much. Fortunately, there was nothing big for Erin at this time, otherwise he, Regner, would have killed those people even if he turned the whole of Melindell upside down.

"But then it was the boss who saved me. Erin said quickly.
