Zero raised his head and looked at Josevi with a stunned expression, and after a moment, he smiled weakly and said, "Since you know who I am, why did you ask my name just now?"

"I guess. A hint of cunning flashed in Josevi's eyes, and she blinked her eyes and said to Zero, "In the Cretan family, a little boy of your age is probably Jeno Crete who impresses outsiders the most." I just asked casually, and you just admitted it. ”

Zero reluctantly turned his head not to look at the shrewd woman, he looked down at his bandaged hands and said to her in a dull voice, "Please don't send me back." ”

"That's not going to work. Josevi directly rejected his request, "The son of the Sword Saint Wayne, the eldest son of the Cretan family, is missing and his whereabouts are unknown, which is too painful for your family. ”

"I really don't want to go back...... Zero said helplessly, and now there is no turning back.

"Why don't you want to go back?" asked Josevie, looking at Zero's immature but calm face in the dim light, "You've been through the ordeal, and you know how dangerous and unforgiving the outside world can be, and if you're not careful, you'll lose your life, and if I hadn't arrived this time, your young life would have been gone." ”

Zero didn't speak, he still leaned silently on the edge of the bed and looked down slightly at his wounded hands.

Josevi looked at the silent Zero and continued to persuade: "You are still young, some things are too early for you, if you are really nostalgic for the outside world, you should go home and learn your skills well......"

"I'm not going back. Zero interrupted José without waiting for her to finish. Josevi looked at Zero, who turned her head and looked at her calmly, feeling a little annoyed. kindly admonished this little guy, but the other party didn't appreciate it, looking at his expression, it didn't look like a child who ran away from home with his family, but like an angry young man who made a decision to go all the way to the end, but he was obviously a child who hadn't even grown his hair.

Josevi frowned and put on a serious expression, she looked at Zero seriously and said, "Don't be stubborn, although I don't know what kind of conflict you have with your family, your behavior of running away from home is very immature and irrational. Have you ever thought about how you are going to live alone when you leave home? Have you ever thought about how you will deal with a crisis when you are in danger? You ran away from home at such a young age, have you thought about the family members who care about you and love you? Do you know how sad and anxious they feel at this moment? You are not responsible for your family and even more so yourself. ”

"I've thought about all of this...... Zero looked at her with a serious look on her face, "I never thought of putting myself in danger, and if it wasn't for an accident this time, I would have run to some other safe city to make a living, even if I would suffer, but as long as I can grow up and learn the magic I want to learn, then it's worth the hardship." ”

Josevi looked at Zero's calm and serious eyes, and a sense of surprise welled up in her heart, she didn't expect that such a young child could behave so calmly and resolutely after going through such a dangerous ordeal not long ago, this boy was very different.

Zero looked at Josevi and continued, "You may think I'm selfish and naïve, but my departure from the Cretan house was also deliberate. There are some things you don't understand, the Cretan family is just a passing guest in my life, and my affection for them is only gratitude to them for raising me for these years, and I will return it one day in the future. They claimed to be my family, but on more than one occasion they forcibly arranged my fate, forbade me to learn the magic I was most interested in, and even arranged my marriage and my life, which I could not tolerate. My fate is like a toy in their eyes, and I am not willing to be played with by them, so I left there for the sake of my life and the pursuit of freedom in my heart. If I go back at this time, what is the point of all the hardships I have endured and the injuries I have suffered? I will never go back!"

Zero's tone changed from calm to resentment, and after he finished speaking, he lifted the quilt covering himself and slowly got out of bed and stood up.

"What are you doing? You can't get out of bed yet. Josevi watched Zero's movements and hurriedly reminded him.

"Thank you for saving me, this kindness, I will repay you when I have the opportunity in the future. Zero stood firm and said to Josevi, "I will never go back, and since my presence makes you feel embarrassed, then I will leave here......"

With that, Zero took a difficult step and walked outside the house. Josevi looked at Zero's stubborn appearance, shook her head and said to him: "I can remind you that outside the house is deep in the Saling Forest, although it is night, there are still many demonic beasts. ”

"Hey!" Josevi shouted angrily as she looked at Zero, who ignored her kind reminder.

Zero limped to the door, he held the doorknob with his back to Josevi and said in a calm tone: "If the heavens think that I am a small person who is still worthy of care, then it will bless me out of this forest, and if the heavens insist on my death, then I can't help it." That's what I thought when I walked out of the Cretan house, people are small in the face of fate, but there are things I don't fight for, and fate won't favor me for no reason, since I came out, I won't look back......"

Josevi looked at Zero's back a little angrily, she turned her head away from him, bit her lip and exhaled a breath, then turned her face to stare at him as he pushed open the door and walked out.

Zero stood outside the house, looking at the darkness outside, and the strangeness was all around. As far as the eye could see, the night shrouded the forest with no edge in sight, and in the darkness there were only strange plants that shimmered slightly, but these faint lights seemed too insignificant in the deep and oppressive long night.

The cool breeze of the night blew on the upper half of his unclothed body, and he couldn't help but shiver, but still resolutely walked forward, and Josevi called him again in the house, and he ignored it. There were zero injuries in his body, he was weak and weak, and he fell to his knees after just a few meters.

"Hey, ......" José saw Zero staggering and falling to the ground, stroked her forehead helplessly, and quickly stood up and walked towards him.

"You are so stubborn at such a young age, I think you will have to suffer a lot in the future......" Josevi said as she walked to Zero's side. She reached out to pull him, but the other man covered his injured knee and squatted down and didn't get up.

"What's wrong with you?" asked Josevi as she leaned down in confusion and looked at Zero, who was silent with her head down.

Only then did she notice that he was crying, the child was so tough that it felt like he couldn't cry, but now he was on his knees and fell to the ground, crying silently, which made people feel very distressed.

"Heaven's genius doesn't favor anyone for no reason, it's what interests it in playing with the fate of mortals. Sometimes it's useless to be stubborn, and there are some things that you can't grasp just can't grasp...... Come into the house with me, heal your wounds first......" Joséway's voice became soft, and she said to him tenderly as she stroked the back of Zero's head with pity.

"I don't want to go back, I don't want to go back...... Zero lowered his head and choked, "It doesn't belong to me, I'm just an outcast, I came to this place for no reason, I don't even know who I am, my life, my life ......"

Josevi was silent, gently stroking Zero's head. The slightly chilly mountain breeze blew across the mountains at night and blew to the cheeks, making people feel a sense of loneliness in their hearts, the dark clouds in the sky were blown away by the wind, the cold moonlight sprinkled in this silent forest, and the boy's dull and faint cry echoed in the wind.

Zero suddenly hugged Josevi's slender and straight thighs, and Josevi was a little cramped by his action, and she was at a loss for what to do with her skirt. Zero raised his big teary eyes, looked at her sincerely, and said, "I beg you, don't send me back...... I don't want to learn vindictiveness, I just want to learn magic! I want to go the way I want to go. You're a magician, aren't you? You're powerful, aren't you? Teach me, you teach me magic, I'm going to defeat those warriors who think too highly of themselves, I'm going to prove to them, no, I'm going to prove to everyone that magic is a power that can go hand in hand with fighting spirit!"

Josevi softened as she looked at the serious and stubborn look in her tearful eyes. After a moment of silence, she sighed, half-crouched down and put her arm on Zero's shoulder, looked at him and asked, "You really don't want to go back?"

"Hmm. Zero looked at her and nodded firmly.

"Do you really want to learn magic?" Joseville continued.

"I really want to learn magic!" replied Zero, still firm.

Josevi stared at Zero's eyes, and Zero looked at him intently, the two looked at each other for a long time, Josevi exhaled slightly, and then she smiled and wiped Zero's tears, looked at him seriously, and said, "From now on, there will be no such person as Jeno Crete." From today onwards, you are yourself, you are zero. ”

The gloom on Zero's face when he heard Josevie's words was swept away, and he asked her with a smile, "Are you...... You promised to teach me magic?"

"Uh-huh......" José nodded as she stroked the side of his face.

"Haha...... Thank you!" Zero was overjoyed, and he tried to stand up, but the wound on his knee hurt and he bared his teeth.

José took him by the arm, and as she led him into the house, she said to him, "Heal the wound first, and then add a new wound if the old wound is not healed." If you don't change your stubborn nature, you'll have to suffer a lot in the future......"

"Hey...... It's okay, young man, break into ......" Zero said to José with a smile as he limped.
