Chapter 194: Caring
"How did you get here, your mother, Aunt Ruth?" Ayton cleared his throat and whispered softly to the girl.
At the mention of her tragic mother, Starry Night's eyes turned red, tears couldn't help but fall, and a whimpering sound came out of her mouth.
"I... I..."
"If it's uncomfortable, forget it, don't think about it" Looking at the girl's pitiful appearance, Ayton hurriedly comforted.
Ariel, who was sitting next to her, put down the chopsticks in her hand, as if she had eaten enough, but she didn't know what to say...
Ayton winked at her, and Ariel reluctantly reached out and grabbed her head.
Suddenly, the girl buried herself deep in the arms of her sister, who was three years older than her, and cried bitterly, venting all the grievances and helplessness of nearly half a month.
The long silver-white hair was softly draped behind him, several silver threads fell to the ground along the delicate ears, the delicate body trembled slightly, and the young heart underwent earth-shaking changes in just a few days.
The gentle mother died tragically, losing her personal freedom, being accompanied by darkness all day long, and even thinking of suicide several times, but she couldn't do it because of her mother's dying words...
The girl who was originally lively and cheerful, enthusiastic about helping others, and full of curiosity about external things, came to the long-awaited outside world at this moment, and the first thing she saw was the ugly humanity in it...
After half of the salary, Starry Night's sobbing voice gradually slowed down, and Ayton spoke: "Starry Night, do you have any other family?"
The girl raised her head, then shook her head in distraction, her originally beautiful and lovely face looked a little haggard from tears.
Ayton stared at her eyes, which were basically the same color as the dark elves' pupils, and even the ears were slightly pointer than humans, and he was suspicious in his heart, but he still asked, "What about your father." ”
Starry Night was stunned for a moment, and shook his head again, the emotion in his eyes was indescribable.
Ayton took a deep breath and glanced at Ariel, who was sitting on the side, who rolled his eyes and shrugged his shoulders again, saying that he didn't care, and then he said softly to Starry Night: "Starry Night, if you don't mind, you can choose to live with us in the future, and don't worry, I won't force you to do anything." ”
Xingye was stunned, and he didn't know whether he was shy or resistant, he hesitated for ten seconds, and finally nodded his head lightly and choked up with a "hmm".
Maybe there is no better choice for her now, or maybe she has no other choice.
"Very good, follow me in the future, don't worry, I will try my best to cover you" Ariel put her arms around her neck again, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and suddenly the conversation changed.
"By the way, I heard that you can enchant knowledge, is it true? And those magic vigilances or something, did you get them?"
Starry Night: "......"
"Ariel!" Ayton's face instantly sank, it was rude to ask such a question in the first place.
"Didn't I ask you because you were embarrassed to speak?" said Ariel, thinking she hadn't said anything wrong.
"You still say!" Ayton glared at Ariel, then turned his head to fall on the girl with a gentle gaze, "Don't listen to her, don't worry, whether you can enchant knowledge or not, we will protect you." ”
As if in order to reflect her own value, the girl said weakly: "I... I actually know a little bit of enchantment, my mom gave it to me."
Hiss...
Ayton gasped, saying that it was still false that he was not excited in his heart, after so many days of research, his center point had greatly shifted from the forging technique to the study of the magic guide gun, and he knew that he could not achieve that kind of epoch-making invention by his own ability alone, and Starry Night could obviously provide great help.
"Anyway, we'll be a family from now on, and if you don't mind, you can call me brother like Ariel."
A warm current flowed from the bottom of his heart, Starry Night touched the short black cloak on his shoulder, there was a faint temperature left on it, and he was just about to nod, but Ariel next to him stood up and protested: "No! I don't agree!"
"What's wrong? I don't have any other ideas, but if we live together in the future, we will always have a name."
Ayton spread her hands, thinking that she was thinking nonsense again, but Ariel still bared her teeth: "If I say no, I can't, I am the only one in the world who can call you brother, and no one else!"
Ayton: "......"
At this time, Starry Night spoke weakly: "Or I'll call you Brother Ayton... How?"
Ariel thought for a moment, the names of the two were indeed different, and nodded very simply: "This is no problem..."
Ayton silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "In that case, Starry Night, let's go home together"
The simple word "home" deeply touched the heart of the starry night, the three of them left the five-star luxury hotel, the silver-haired girl with red eyes, looked up at the bright sunshine in the sky, and a new life began...
......
With a clang, Ayton pushed open the rusty iron door and stepped into the empty courtyard, where the girl behind him looked curiously at the old aristocratic manor.
"This is the new home that my brother and I just bought, how about it?" Ariel triumphantly pulled Starry Night into the threshold.
"Uh... We've just been here for a short time, and we haven't taken care of a lot of things, and in the future, we may live here, or we may travel around the mainland, but we will never restrict your freedom" Ayton looked at the depressed front yard, a look of embarrassment.
Except for the exterior walls that had been painted and repaired, the mansion had no time to deal with the decorations.
Starry Night shook her head, and her red eyes revealed deep envy and yearning for her future life. "Brother Ayton, the house I lived in when I was a child was very simple, and I built it with my mother, at that time..."
When Mother Ruth was mentioned again, Starry Night was not so easy to shed tears, but the words stopped when she recalled some sad things in her mind.
"Starry Night, how did you get that magic in the first place when you found out about our guard, can you set one up around here?" Ariel turned to look at Starry Night, and before Ayton could speak, the girl nodded briskly.
"Of course, the Eye of Vigilance is just the most basic magic array, and it can be done in an afternoon. ”
"Great, brother, you don't have to be in such a hurry to get up and fight when someone comes at night in the future"
"???" Starry Night tilted her head and glanced at the inexplicably excited Ariel.
"Ahem, Starry Night, not long ago... The bad guys have been here, but we have solved it, don't worry, Ariel and I will guarantee the safety of the night"
Ayton was amazed in his heart, this thing is a chicken rib in battle, but it is extremely practical in life, especially when camping in the wild, although he maintains absolute vigilance even in his sleep, but it is limited to people with low stealth ability, and when encountering a skilled assassin, he does not dare to guarantee absolute safety in the middle of the night.
In previous experiments, Mentor Shaperina could easily and silently place daggers around his and Ariel's necks in the middle of the night while sleeping outside the cave.
But it's not just this 'vigilant eye' that will be there for the Starry Night
"Brother Ayton, this place is so big, I can still set a lot of magic traps, but that one will take some time"
"And the traps?" Ariel looked at the starry night, originally a little resistant to this girl, but now she felt that the other party was more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Well, I will also use higher-order traps, which can temporarily resist the attacks of fifth-order or even sixth-order powerhouses..."
"......" Ayton and the two glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and this time they really picked up the treasure.
"By the way, Brother Ayton, you're a forger, and I also know a little bit of enchantment, if you have crafted some weapons, can you show me first, maybe I can help a little. ”
"And this house, clean this house, can you let me come?"
“... Wait, Starry Night, you..."Ayton looked at this timid girl with a complicated expression, she said so much just now, she just wanted to show her value, but in fact, he didn't want her to have such a mentality.
"Big Brother Ayton... What's wrong with me..."Starry Night's eyes were a little cringe, and she was still wearing the seductive small maid outfit of the Obsidian Chamber of Commerce, and under the skirt that had been deliberately cut, it was a white and smooth **, and her posture was twisted naked in the air. It seems that the heart is more inclined to put his position as a servant than a family friend.
"Ariel, take her to change her clothes in the first room, let's wear yours for the time being, and tomorrow we will go buy some new clothes for Starry Night"
"I'm wearing my clothes again, forget it, let's go, Starry Night" Ariel sighed helplessly, and walked to the room on the second floor with the girl in a dazed state.
Ayton looked at the empty surroundings, he had been with Ariel for a long time, and he had rarely been in contact with a third party among his age, and now by chance, a lonely and helpless girl entered their lives... Maybe it will add a little more fun to life.
The boy smiled indifferently and turned to walk towards the house.
A large aristocratic mansion with three floors, the first floor is the bathroom, kitchen and a place for Ayton to conduct various studies and store miscellaneous items, the second floor is a bedroom and a large vacant room, and the third floor is an attic that is abandoned...
"Starry Night, you can stay here in the future," Ayton said, pointing to the room next to him and Ariel, which was a little empty, except for a single bed against the wall, which was covered with the bedding used in the wilderness camping.
Time is limited, Ayton can only do this, what do you want to buy in the future, this small bed was bought the day before yesterday for him and Ariel's oversized bed.
At this time, Starry Night has faded from the more explicit maid outfit just now, and changed into the black training clothes that Ariel used to wear, although Ariel is 3 or 4 years older than her, her figure is not much, and the loose training clothes just stick to the girl's immature body, outlining her incomplete figure.
"Well, thank you, Brother Ayton," the girl nodded slightly, her pretty face flushed for some reason.
Ariel saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but say, "Brother, how is your musket studying?
"You don't have to worry about that, besides, I'm determined to change the name of that thing, and I'm going to call it a magic guide gun in the future, do you hear that?"
Starry Night looked puzzled, this thing stood up like the legendary magic cannon, but she had never heard of it.
"Let's not talk about that, let's get a perimeter guard first, how about it?" Ayton wasn't sure if she would be able to unravel the intricate magic gun making blueprints.
In fact, the drawings are described in many places in very general terms, and it seems that its inventor did not solve those problems.
"Hmm" the girl nodded slightly, and the three of them walked to the empty front yard together...
Ariel jumped over the fence and looked around, there was still barren grass everywhere, and no suspicious people passed by, and made an OK gesture.
"Let's start now, Starry Night" Ayton looked at Starry Night with an encouraging look in his eyes.
PS: Double change starts the next month!
