Chapter 44: Building a House

The night sky followed a woman with long purple hair scattered over her back, wearing a purple cheongsam and purple glasses, and the two walked down the street one after the other, the woman only leading the way in front and the night sky following behind, observing the surroundings at the same time.

On both sides of the road were kneeling disheveled, skinny people, staring blankly at what they were thinking.

From time to time, the smell of rot and the sound of wild dogs feasting on them can be heard from the dark alleys, and if you look at the source through the sound and smell, you will find flies surrounding some rotting pieces of meat, and a pack of wild dogs frantically biting at a person who does not know if it can be called a corpse.

It is not difficult to see that the person who has just been dragged into the alley and been gnawed by wild dogs is staring at the alley with numb eyes, as if longing for the warm sunshine.

But he himself didn't make any sound, from the chest that was torn apart, and the lungs that were still undulating, it was not difficult to see that he still had breath and could be rescued, but his numb eyes were prohibitive.

Such a scene, the night sky has been encountered several times along the way, from the beginning the two of them will help each other, but in the end he found that no matter how to save them, those people still maintain their original attitude, a look of despair for the future and numbness around them, sitting quietly in place, waiting for death to come.

Everything in front of him made the night sky, who stayed here for three days and learned about the current situation of the empire from the mouth of the Drew, have to sigh that such a country has not disappeared, but continues to suppress other invading enemies and rebellious people with strong absolute strength.

At the same time, I was also sorry for thinking that they were just exaggerating, from the time he went out, to what he saw and heard in the city, and then here, it was obviously just a city wall, and at one end of the city was a world of yellow lights, drunken gold, countless big people and big meat, and wearing bright clothes.

But after passing through a wall, it is a miserable world of despair.

Everything that was seen made the night sky clear that Drew they were already very implicitly expressing the rot of the country, to the point of incorrigibility.

Since the last time he rescued Drew, Night Sky has also taken the opportunity to explain his profession to him, while assuring that he is not a so-called assassin, nor is he the kind of person who is willing to do anything for money.

After getting the approval of Drew and the others, Drew learned that the night sky was homeless, so he invited him to live in the house, and by the way, let him work as a guard.

The person who was kicked in the night sky before was originally the strongest and trusted guard in Drew's family, which is why Drew and everyone else didn't notice that something was wrong with him in the first place.

After investigating, Night Sky learns that the guard had died a day earlier, and that someone had manipulated his body to assassinate Drew. During the conversation with Drew, Nightsky understands that he knows who is manipulating the guard behind his back, but he doesn't want to say anything, and Nightsky is too embarrassed to ask in depth.

It stands to reason that as a guard, you shouldn't stay away from the object of your protection, and the reason why Night Sky left Drew's side was because Avril left her home this morning to go outside the city to help the refugees from various places who had gathered in the refugee camp.

She left with only a few guards, but she forgot to bring her lunch box, and her wife, who was worried that she would be hungry, asked someone to bring her the lunch. Originally, such a thing could be done with a servant.

But because there are important guests at home, I plan to discuss something important with Drew. Since the guests were distrustful of the night sky, they were reluctant to even let him stand in the doorway, and in desperation, Drew let him wander around the house and find other things to do.

After learning that Madame wanted someone to bring a bento to Avril, Night Sky took the initiative to accept the commission and went out of the city.

Not knowing how to get to the camp, Night Sky asked a lot of people on the way, but they either ignored him, shook their heads and said they didn't know, and some even laughed at him, "Who cares about the existence of those untouchables." ”

Unable to learn the location of the refugee camp from other people, Night Sky was about to give up, but when he returned to question Madame, he found several unfriendly people surrounding a woman, and he stepped forward to knock them all down.

After learning the destination of the night sky, the woman who wanted to repay him for helping him relieve the siege volunteered to help him lead the way. On the way, the two of them also told each other's names together, and the night sky realized that her name was Hill.

Half an hour later, the night sky looked at the same street as before, unchanged, and the numb eyes that sat kneeling there on both sides confirmed that he was back to where he had just walked again, and the night sky stopped his steps.

"What's wrong?" asked Ciel, who was walking in front, as he turned his head to look at the night sky that hadn't kept up.

"That.... Don't you notice?" Regarding her behavior of turning in circles all the time, thinking that the other party had some intentions, and wanted to directly blame Hill's Night Sky, after seeing that there were no false eyes behind the lenses, Night Sky couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and change his words.

After listening to the night sky's questioning, Hill seemed to realize something, and bowed apologetically to the night sky without any warning, "Could it be.... I'm sorry... I'm lost. ”

"......" looked at her behavior, and wanted to accuse her of the night sky that had been circling in place, and suddenly didn't know how to say something. After thinking for a while, he made sure that he couldn't let Hill lead the way anymore and sighed helplessly, "Do you know where the refugee camp is? ”

"In that direction. Hill said in the exact opposite direction to the Drew's house.

After thanking Ciel, he found that she was looking guilty because she was lost and his distrust of her, and Nightsky comforted, "Actually, don't care too much, if it weren't for you, I would be very troubled if I couldn't find the refugee camp, but you helped me a lot." ”

"Is it true?" asked Ciel, who lowered his head guiltily, raised his head to look up at the night sky, his eyes full of hope.

"Hmm. It's true. So don't feel guilty about your actions because you've done something that many people don't. The night sky nodded without thinking.

"Great. Instead of being ridiculed or ridiculed by the night sky, Hill couldn't help but put his hands on his chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as she wanted to thank the night sky for the compliment, the night sky disappeared in front of her.

In the direction Hill pointed, the night sky soon spotted a gathering of disheveled, scrawny men somewhere in the forest outside the city, more of a refugee camp than a refugee camp. In the middle is a large cauldron with hot food boiling in it.

They lined up in a long line, each with a tattered container in their hands, while Avril and the guards were busy around the cauldron. It is not difficult to see that the refugees did not commit the misdeeds caused by the snatching of food, and it is not difficult to see that this kind of thing has been going on for some time.

Avril didn't pay as much attention to her dress as she did at home or at the ball, she was wearing very modest clothes today, and there were some ashes left over from cooking on her face, and it was really difficult to compare the gentle and well-behaved eldest lady with the gray-faced girl in front of her.

Looking at the hopeful eyes of those refugees for the future, comparing what they had just seen, the night sky couldn't help but feel a pang of pity and pity. But he also understands that it is impossible to do everything by relying on individual strength, and I am afraid that those refugees who originally thought that they could survive when they came to the imperial capital would never dream that this was just another hell.

Seeing the night sky falling from the sky, compared to the surprise of other refugees, Avril and the others, who had been with the night sky for a while, showed him a friendly smile, Avril handed over the work in hand to the strawberry beside him, and then walked in front of him.

"Yes..."

"Madame asked me to bring it to you. ”

Just as she was about to say something, Night Sky handed her the bento in her hand.

Looking at the bento handed to her, Avril swallowed back what she wanted to say. I took the bento and opened it, and it was not a particularly luxurious food, but a very ordinary food.

Helping Avril bring a chair for her to sit on, looking at her gobbling up without any appearance of a big lady at all, the night sky that I thought she would eat as elegantly as at home was surprised at first, but it quickly returned to normal.

Remembering how she seemed to have something to say just now, Nightsky asked, "By the way, what did you just want to say?"

Swallowing the food in her mouth, Avril took out a money bag from behind her back and said, "You can help me buy some axes and hammers in the store......

Avril kept spitting out the names of some tools, and telling him to go back and have Drew send some of the workers over. Looking at the surrounding forest, and the ragged refugees, the night sky, which understood that she wanted to build a house in place, nodded, and took the money bag from her hand, "Leave it to me." ”

As soon as the night sky finished speaking, it immediately sealed, and the entire area suddenly had hundreds of more of them. Looking at the person who suddenly appeared in front of them, everyone stopped what they were doing in surprise and stared blankly at the hundreds of night skies in front of them.

"I'll go to the city to buy tools first, and you can prepare the timber here first. Ignoring the shocked looks of others at what they saw, the night sky said to the clones. After the night sky finished speaking, he rushed directly in the direction of the imperial capital, and just when he was asking passers-by, he passed a shop selling tools.

After listening to the words of the night sky, the clones immediately began to act, and with a loud noise, huge trees fell one after another.

It was clear that the forest was still lush just now, and in a short time, a huge clearing was vacated, and the clones would cut down the trees, clear them of useless use, and the excess branches and bark, and the columns would soon be piled together, and the clones would process some of the trees again, turning them into planks.

It took half an hour for the night sky to return, and with a large pile of tools, the clones took them from him and began to build the house.

Seeing that the clones were so familiar with each other, Avril Lavigne, who was still thinking about whether to let him run home and ask her father to call the workers over, couldn't help but praise, "The night sky is really anything." ”

"Not really. In response to Avril's praise, Night Sky spared his face shyly, and said with a red face, "It's just that I used to carry out the task of helping people rebuild the village, and I learned this at that time." ”

"But it's also very powerful, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid they'd be sleeping in the wilderness again tonight. ”

"Indeed. ”

Night Sky looked worriedly at the villagers with puzzled and curious eyes, and also at the same time saw those in certain corners, with some urgently treated wounds tied to their bodies.

The bandages are different from old to new, the old ones don't know how long it has been, and the new ones have been tied at least today. Avril Lavigne: They have been taking care of the refugees here for some time, so they haven't had any house during this time.

Staying in the forest for the time being, I'm afraid that the beasts of the forest, or the existence of dangerous species that he has heard about these days, will not be less frequented here.

In addition to giving them hope of living, but also to fill their stomachs, and to give them a safe place to stay, the night sky looked at Avril beside her, obviously a girl smaller than herself, but she did what she had never done.

Avril's eyes focused on the doppelgangers who were building houses, and the corners of her mouth were drawing a beautiful arc as the houses were gradually taking shape, making the night sky fascinated, and murmuring.

"You should be the one who is powerful. ”

"What's wrong?"

Due to the relative proximity of the two, although the sound of the night sky was very small, it was still heard by Avril, but she couldn't hear the content clearly, she turned her head to look at the night sky, and when she found that he was staring at herself, she thought that the night sky was looking at her face that was a little dirty because of the ashes, and Avril wiped the ashes on her face in displeasure.

"I didn't mean that. ”

"Then why are you staring at me like that? ”

"I..."

Realizing that Avril had misunderstood herself, Night Sky hurriedly said loudly, but Avril's words made Night Sky not know what to say, and there was a hint of panic on her face.

"I don't think I'm beautiful, so I'm stupid. ”

Avril looked at the night sky, and couldn't help but joke, and after listening to the night sky, she hurriedly nodded wildly.

"......." Avril sighed, her eyes staring at the night sky with a look of displeasure, "Do you know how many people have said these things to me?"

"I'm sorry...."

"Not really. Looking at the sincere eyes of the night sky, the corners of Avril's mouth raised again, "This compliment is the happiest I have ever been." ”

After a few hours, as the exhaustion of the clones returned to the body of the night sky, seeing the exhaustion on his face, Avril took a strong attitude and let the night sky ride back with her.
