At the dining table on the first floor, the witch took out a white handkerchief, wiped her mouth gracefully, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mayor, for your hospitality." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

A simple dinner that brought the two closer together. For Snow, at least, witches are no longer just expressionless defense.

"No thanks, just a few wheat cakes." Snow smiled, "My name is Snow, you can call me by my name directly, I'm really not used to hearing the mayor." ”

"Okay, Snow." The witch paused and said, "My name is Yalian. Helaben, you may call me Arlen. ”

"Yalian, nice name." Snow nodded, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him who had slightly regained his blood color, thought for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me about you?" ”

Seeing Yalian's slightly frowning brows, Snow hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to help you." ”

Yalian hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there is nothing that can't be said. ”

Ya Lian. Hera was originally a descendant of wizards, and in her memory, she followed her parents since she was a child, living a life of being wanted and captured by the soldiers of the church and the kingdom. Ever since she was sensible, her parents have kept telling her that they are not minions of the devil and have never done anything harmful. The reason why they were hunted down by the church was only because God gave them the power to threaten the church.

The Yarlian family, like other wizards, lived their daily lives in refuge, living incognito with fear, and living for the sake of living. When Jarren was sixteen years old, they were found by the Church's Inquisitors, after a great battle. Arrene escaped on her own, but both of her parents were killed by the Inquisitors to protect her. Since then, Yarlian has been burdened with hatred and has lived a life of escaping alone. This escape is four years.

Arrène knew that it was impossible to stand up to the church on her own. So while on the run, she tried her best to find her companions. On the one hand, she wants to save poor people like her, who are recognized by the church as devil's minions for no reason. On the other hand, he also wants to gather the power of wizards to avenge his parents and those wizards who were killed by the church.

Unfortunately, while searching for news about other wizards in the Border City Fortress, Yalian was discovered by the pursuing Inquisitors. After a desperate struggle, she escaped again, all the way north and hid in the endless mountain forest, only to escape. But in the mountains and forests, she was attacked by many wild beasts. Yalian, who was already seriously injured, was scratched on the arm by a wild wolf king.

After stumbling out of the forest, Yalian arrived in the town of Luba. At this time, the town was empty, and Snow's home was undoubtedly the most conspicuous presence in the town. So Yalian quietly went into the house, looking for some food to satisfy her hunger, and by the way, she bandaged her wounds and rested for the night. Unexpectedly, at this time, Snow and the others returned to the town.

After listening to Arlene's brief account, Snow expressed sympathy for her plight and resent the atrocities of the Shameless Church.

Looking at Snow, Yalian's heart couldn't help but feel a wave of warmth.

In the more than ten years she remembers, as long as people know her identity as a wizard, they either turn around and flee in fear, or take up arms to put her to death. There has never been a person like Snow who not only gives him food and help, but is also willing to talk to him face to face, without any disgust, fear or discrimination. If it weren't for the fact that Snow didn't have the aura of a wizard on him, she would really think that Snow was her kind.

"Thank you for the food and for listening, it's time for me to go." Arlene stood up, pulled up the corner of her robe, saluted Snow, and turned to leave.

"Please wait a minute." Snow stood up and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Yalian looked out the window and said leisurely, "Go and look for my companions." ”

"But now you can't go back to the border city fortress, and if you want to bypass the fortress, you can only take a boat along the Lianxi River to the west." Snow said: "But at this temperature, if you want to bypass the fortress at once without docking for supplies, you need to prepare dry food on board for at least five days. And the temperature at night is already extremely low, maybe tomorrow night the temperature drops a little more, and the Lianxi River will freeze, I have to say, this is not a proper way. ”

Hearing Snow's words, Yalian also hesitated slightly.

Snow thought for a moment and said, "If you are willing to trust me, you can stay with me for the time being." When the wind eases down this winter, I'll send you away in person, how about it? ”

Yarlian looked at Snow in surprise, the crime of staying a wizard was enough to go to the gallows. Arlene couldn't figure out why Snow was doing this.

"You're thinking again why I'm helping a wizard, right?" Looking at Yalian's expression, Snow guessed her doubts.

"Maybe you don't know how serious the crime can be when you take in a wizard for the night." Arrene said the only explanation she could think of.

"No, no, no, of course I do." Snow shook his head, smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not much better off than you right now. Snow briefly recounted what happened to him and others outside the walls of the fortress.

"It can be said that we are now the people who have been abandoned by the fortress, just because the iron ore has no value to be mined again, so we sinners who have offended the gods do not need to waste the food of the fortress." Snow smiled bitterly and said, "I can't tell you the truth, that bastard Lord named Aker actually asked us to seek the help of the devil. ”

Arlene knew that if there was not enough food and no wild beasts in time, it would be difficult for Snow and them to survive. Thinking about it this way, she and Snow are poor people who share the same disease. In this respect, they are of the same kind. The difference between the same outcasts is that Yalian is constantly hunted down because of her threatening power. Snow and the others are equivalent to squeezed chess pieces, no need to waste their strength, just let them fend for themselves. Thinking about it this way, Snow is even more pathetic and worthless.

"I hate those bastards much more now than you do. So, don't think about it, stay and stay with us through this long winter. Snow extended the invitation again.

It has to be said that Yalian was persuaded by Snow. It doesn't matter what time it is, and it doesn't matter what age it is. People are social animals, and no one likes to live alone.

Snow was right, in some ways, they were the same kind as himself, and they should help each other. And she really can't go back to the border city fortress, and she can't hide in the mountains and forests with injuries, and the smell of blood will attract endless beasts. The town of Luba, located between the two places, is undoubtedly the safest place to recuperate. Although staying may not be able to survive, it is indeed the best choice right now.

Looking at Snow's sincere and expectant eyes, Yalian nodded and agreed.

"Great, welcome Miss Arlene to our Rook Town." Snow said happily.

"Thank you, but will the rest of the town accept me like you?" Yalian said worriedly.

Snow knew very well in his heart that although they were abandoned, the foolish inhabitants of the town would only regard this as the punishment they deserved for offending the gods. If they knew about Yalian's existence, they would not run away in fear and go to the fortress to report it. He will pick up a fork and arrest Yarlian in exchange for a bargaining chip to return to the fortress for refuge. Therefore, we must not let the residents know about Yalian's situation now, and we must wait for a suitable opportunity.

Of course, Snow can't tell the truth, he has to consider Yalian's feelings, "Maybe they can't accept it now, but please trust me, it won't be long before I officially introduce you to them." And I promise, they'll see you like part of town. ”

"Is what you said true?" To be honest, Yalian never thought that she would be recognized by the people of a town.

"Of course, I ...... to God Oh no, I swear to the devil that if I can't, let him take my soul away. Snow said solemnly.

Yalian hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand, gently pressed it to Snow's lips, shook her head and said, "No need to swear, I believe in you." ”

Feeling the slightly cold silkiness on his lips, and looking at the beauty close at hand, Snow couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart. Yalian also noticed that the distance between the two seemed to be a little too close, so she quickly withdrew her hand and lowered her head sideways.

Although she is already a twenty-year-old girl, she runs away every day to survive, and she doesn't even have the time to yearn for love, so she naturally doesn't know how to resolve the embarrassment on this occasion.

"Well, well, it's not early, let's rest early." Snow coughed dryly, but it was just a 'we', which made the atmosphere a little more ambiguous again.

"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that." Snow had a ghost in his heart, and hurriedly took the initiative to explain: "You sleep upstairs, I'll sleep downstairs." It's safer if someone comes to me. ”

"Hmm." Yalian turned around and nodded slightly, "Thank you again." ”

"We should be friends now, and since we're friends, we don't need to always talk about thanks." Snow laughed, "To be honest, it's my honor to be friends with wizards. ”

And such a beautiful witch, Snow said secretly in his heart. If his roommates knew that he was now living under the same roof with such a blonde and blue-eyed stunner, he wondered if he would run to the podium in the auditorium and scramble to slam the back of his head up the steps.

Looking at Yalian, who was elegantly saluted, she carried a corner of her robe upstairs. For the first time, Snow felt that there was some tempting perks in traveling to this uncivilized fucking Europe.
