"He said you still have relatives alive and told you not to give up. ”

"Loved ones?!"

Ariel was shocked when she heard this, and her eyes revealed a look of disbelief and excitement.

"I've never heard my dad say that, Parker, are you telling the truth?"

"That's what your father told me, and I don't know if it's true or not, but since it was his last words for you, it shouldn't be fake, and as for why he's kept it a secret from you, maybe there's some reason why he had to do it. ”

Despite her excitement, Ariel restrained the countless questions in her mind, and she knew that it was useless to ask Caledor about things that she didn't even know.

"Dad... Thank you..."

Ariel knew that it was too late to say thank you, but if she didn't say it, she was always depressed in her heart, and now that she said it, it was still in front of Caledo, the person who witnessed his father's death, Ariel's heart was much more relaxed.

"I always cause some trouble for my father, but my father is always so attached to me, and before I know it, I got the title of eldest lady, and now that I think about it, I am actually just a willful child. ”

"But they all love you, a kind wayward child, don't they? They are willing to give their lives for you, so you don't regret what you have done, because in their hearts you are the one who deserves their love and protection. ”

"Is that so... If that's the case, that's great... But without my dad and my people, where am I going from here?"

"Didn't your dad say you still have relatives?"

"Although this is the case, that relative and I have never known each other, there is no communication, so I can't say that I have any feelings, and I am the target of the community, even if I go to find the relative who I don't know where I am, I don't know if he will accept me. ”

Calledo smiled lightly, stepped forward and patted Ariel's shoulder and said, "Although your worries are very reasonable, I think you are thinking too much, first of all, let me ask you a question, no matter what your father says, will you believe it?"

Ariel nodded and said, "Dad never lied to me, even if it was something he didn't want me to know, Dad would replace it with other facts or do his best not to let me know, no matter what, he wouldn't lie to me." ”

"Well, then your dad is indeed an absolutely credible person to you, but what I want to say is not because your dad doesn't lie to you to get your trust, because some things have to lie to get a happy ending, and lies are sometimes necessary to lead to good, so I'm asking you, do you believe in your dad's heart?"

Ariel, who didn't quite understand, was silent for a while, and finally nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

"Well, then, even if your father's words are in fact lies, they are absolutely true in terms of what is beneficial to you, so you don't have to worry about your father's words, since he chose to tell you about your relatives, it means that you are right to go to that relative, no matter what this 'relative' represents. ”

Ariel nodded and smiled with relief, "Well, I see, thank you, Parker." ”

"It's okay, after all, they entrusted you to me, and I'm going to do my duty as a guardian, by the way, it's your father's relic. ”

Caledor took the photograph and lighter out of the space beacon, and Ariel was surprised to see two items appear out of thin air in Caledo's hand.

"Is this space magic?"

"Well, you know?"

Ariel took the lighter, a warmth appeared on her face, and she held the lighter as if she were holding her father's hand.

"There is a presence in the magic envoy that uses space magic, and there are records of this in the community..."

"Looks like you like this lighter. ”

"Hmm. ”

Ariel nodded, looked at the lighter with a wistful look and said: "This is my father's collection, I heard that it was an antique given to my father by my mother, the most mysterious thing on my father when I was a child was this lighter, he used this lighter every time he lit a cigarette, but every time I could only see the flame released by this lighter, my father deliberately blocked the lighter with his hand and did not let me see it, so in order to see this mysterious item that can release flames, I tossed a lot of things when I was a child..."

Although she is talking about her black history, Ariel feels warm in her heart, as if she has returned to her childhood.

"Well, Ariel's curiosity has been so strong since she was a child. ”

"Ordinary kids are like that, but... Maybe mine is a little bit long-lasting. ”

As she spoke, Ariel rubbed the steel wheel of the lighter, and a blue flame followed.

"What a beautiful flame. ”

Caledor sighed from the bottom of his heart, although this small blue flame is not as beautiful as a firework, it carries warm love and memory, burns the flame of family affection, and is a spiritual fire that is countless times hotter than fireworks.

Turning off the lighter, Ariel noticed that Caledor was still holding a blank piece of paper in his hand.

"What is this?"

Ariel took the well-protected paper, and as soon as she got it in her hand, she could feel that there was a faint fragrance on it, obviously it was not made of ordinary paper, and it was very smooth to the touch, and the paper was well maintained.

Flipping over the paper, Ariel's pupils shrank, and her gaze was fixed on the paper, unable to move.

Her eyes and thoughts seemed to be locked in this small piece of paper, and she stared at this piece of paper, unable to move or reluctant to move.

Then, her eyes turned red and tears swirled in her sockets.

"It's best protected on your dad's body hidden along with the lighter. ”

Hearing Caledo's words, Ariel could no longer bear the emotion in her heart, and tears that had been brewing for a long time burst out of her eyes.

It was a young father, without so many wrinkles, without so many vicissitudes, with a very spiritual atmosphere and joy that could not be concealed.

It was a woman I had never seen before, but at the first sight of her, it was so familiar and warm, she had the same smile as herself, but she had the warmth that she didn't have.

Ariel understood everything the moment she saw the photo, and the three people in the photo were their family.

Calledo watched silently, allowing Ariel to savor the photos and feel the love and blessings she deserved.

"Dad... Mom... I... I love you... Ariel will definitely live well... Going to be good... Rest assured..."

Caledor couldn't help but smile with relief when he heard Ariel's words, he sighed lightly and turned to leave the lounge.

Ariel will come out soon, Calledo knows in his heart.
