Chapter 225: Ariel's Emotions
On a cold and biting night, under the butcher's knife of her mother's tragic death, the holy silver knight of the Holy See, indifferently watching her whining and pleading, and at the luxurious and noisy auction scene, a group of well-dressed magnates had a lewd light in their eyes, looking up and down her immature body with malicious intentions, which was disgusting. Only those two pairs of black eyes attracted her deeply.
"Look at your appearance... You're not their kind, I am. ”
"No—" Starry Night came back to her senses and took a step back to distance herself.
Raya was not in a hurry, and looked at her with a sneer. Starry Night pursed her lips, looked at the half-finished vigilant eyes on the wall, and said firmly, "I know that I am special, but I don't believe that everyone will discriminate against me. ”
"Perhaps..."Starry Night's blood-red eyes suddenly met Shangraya's blue pupils, and said with a wry smile: "In this world, there is no one like me, right..."
"Huh." Raya sneered twice and continued to guide you step by step: "No, although we are of different bloods, I believe that you will definitely become like me, because in this city, everyone will have instinctive prejudices, even if it is the first time I see you, I will look at you in a different light, right?"
“...... Big Brother Ayton, and Sister Ariel don't."
After leaving the auction, whether it was the dwarven forger she saw when she entered the bronze axe, or the gangsters in the southern region who were recruited later, there was a hint of strangeness in the other party's eyes, although she didn't say anything along the way, she was always keenly aware that there were always a few vague glances sweeping towards her long silver hair.
The only two who don't even give her the feeling that they are used to it, maybe it's also because their hair color and pupil color are also rare...
"They? Maybe they're just hiding deep enough."
The contempt at the corner of the other party's mouth made Xingye frown slightly, but she couldn't refute it from this sentence, but started from her point of view: "Then why do you claim to be my kind, you are obviously a normal human being." ”
Raya seemed to have been waiting for her to say this, and the corners of her mouth grinned: "Why not? You have half dark elf blood in your body, and they will all see you as a fallen dark elf, not a human, and I... They call them demons."
"Think about it, the dark elves... Isn't it from the demon camp?"
"......" Xingye was stunned, what kind of logic is this? This kind of statement is obviously impossible to be convincing, but the other party still said it to himself in a very serious tone, for a while... She didn't even know how to say no.
Suddenly, there was a ripple in the sea of spiritual consciousness, someone is coming? She closed her eyes and contacted the vigilant eye at the entrance of the front yard, and suddenly found two familiar figures.
"They're back!?" Starry Night cried out in surprise, Raya frowned slightly, turned in silence and ran quickly to the window, and soon jumped to the perimeter of the courtyard, bowing down the edge of the fence and running deeper into the slum.
The view was just blocked, and the two did not notice Raya who had secretly left, and when they returned home, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, which was the hottest time of the day in the summer.
There is no ice cream, electric fans, no air conditioning, and most people sit under the shade of trees or rest at home, even if this is a world of vindictive magic, there is no greenhouse effect like in the previous life, and the only way to dissipate heat is to keep pulling the placket and drinking water in the mouth.
And there was such a group of people, sitting outside the walls of his mansion, drinking water, taking advantage of the cold, and when they saw their master returning, they immediately stood up solemnly, bent forward, and performed a good and bad greeting etiquette, they were the young Warren, the thug head Kenig, the fat Reiner and other young people.
"Get up, meet me again in the future, you don't have to practice this kind of cumbersome etiquette, just say it directly when you meet each other" Ayton waved his hand casually, he was really not used to these etiquettes.
"Young master, those..."garbage is buried in the chaos" Warren was the first to stand up, faintly, he became the leader of these people, who called him the first to make Ayton, and he is also very good at seizing opportunities, there is no doubt about that.
"How's Eva?"
"Don't worry, Miss Vanessa is already treating her, and she says she'll be fully recovered by noon tomorrow. ”
Ayton nodded, and said calmly to the 15 people: "Since I'm back, I don't have anything to do with you today, you can go back and rest early, if you are angry, I've been a little busy lately, I'll teach you in two days."
Everyone was slightly stunned, Warren pointed to the vines and weeds growing outside the house, and asked cautiously: "My lord, it's still early, these sundries..."
Ayton glanced at the plants outside the mansion and shook his head: "No need, I'll handle these things myself." ”
Do your own thing, and although you hired them, Ayton still didn't want to let others interfere in his family's affairs too much.
Suddenly, the sound of light footsteps came, and a girl with silver hair and red eyes and a black loose training uniform trotted out, looking at the returning two with joy. "Brother Ayton, Sister Ariel, you're back"
"Hmm" Ayton nodded with a smile, and then touched the sullen girl beside him: "Ariel, you go home with Starry Night, I have something to tell them." ”
Ariel didn't speak, snorted, and walked straight to the door, Starry Night realized that something was wrong with her, hesitated for a moment, and decided not to tell Raya about her private visit first, and silently followed into the house.
"Alright" Ayton clapped his hands, keeping everyone's eyes on him.
"First of all, I want to make it clear to you first, I didn't want to recruit any guards at first, and now the reason why I recruit you is because of last night's incident, Black Finger took advantage of my absence and Ariel to attack here at night, so your duty is mainly to protect here, and secondly, I am new to the city, and I need to use you for many things I don't understand, in return, I will teach you to cultivate Dou Qi and some material rewards. ”
"If any of you don't want to do it, just tell me, I won't embarrass anyone, but if something happens and then tell me, the end will be the same as the garbage you just carried."
Speaking of this, Ayton clearly saw that each of them couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and seeing that the effect was almost over, he waved his hand and asked them all to go back to their respective homes first.
On the first day, none of them learned Douqi, but they were not discouraged, because even if they went to the noble lord's house to serve as a knight guard, it was not overnight to learn Douqi, and they had to obtain combat merits or reach a certain stage of force value before they could be rewarded by their masters.
Among the sixteen people, only the fat man Reiner was depressed, originally thinking that he would guide his cultivation one-on-one with a thigh next to him, but now the situation has reversed, not to mention that it has become one-to-many, and his identity has changed from an apprentice to a guard... Among them, only he knows in his own heart, and when he returns home, his parents ask him about the situation, and he is embarrassed to give him a bad job.
There are also Wei Ya and Eva's eldest sister, one was seriously injured and fell to the ground, and the other became a maid, most of the maids in the aristocratic family take care of lovers, although Wei Ya has a little freckles on her face, but after growing up a little and disappearing, she is also considered to be in good shape, and she also knows a lot of knowledge, but that adult should not do that kind of thing...
......
"Brother, you really want to learn that light magic" Ariel leaned against the wall, her hands folded around her chest, and looked directly at Ayton with a gloomy face.
Starry Night quietly stepped aside, while thinking to himself what it was like to learn light magic, isn't Big Brother Ayton a dark magician?
"Let's try the water first, after all, dark magic is not very famous on the mainland. Ayton touched his nose and felt a little weak.
Ariel Joan snorted coldly: "You obviously have a crush on Angel." ”
Starry Night's expression froze instantly, and he turned his head to look at Ayton blankly, who shouted extremely aggrievedly: "I have it, don't think too much, good, don't talk nonsense here"
"Then why did you still agree to her to participate in that magic contest, not to please her!?"
For some reason, Ariel's expression was particularly serious at this time, and Ayton instantly understood that she seemed to really have a little emotion...
