The house is very dilapidated, at first glance it is a very old dilapidated house, and the white paint on the outer wall has become blurry because of the sun and rain for many years, and it has fallen off into a puddle of mud color, which is very ugly.

Without the slightest hesitation, the child walked straight into the dilapidated room.

As soon as he approached the door, a strong smell of wine and medicine came to his face, causing several people to frown again and again, especially the VC, whose nose was extremely sensitive, and vomited, and after taking out two nasal plugs from the chip and putting them into his nose, his face calmed down.

The group walked into the house, and there was hardly anything left in the empty room except for some medicine jars, some necessities, and a large pile of wine bottles that had been thrown around and had not yet been drunk.

"My name is Elise, and this is Jeno, my adoptive father."

The child pointed to a middle-aged man lying on his back on a straw mat, his face was full of stubble, and his face was obviously not good-looking.

"Elise, isn't that a girl's name?"

Larry asked, looking at Elise quirkily.

"You're so unreasonable."

Elise glared at Larry and said, "Can't you see I'm a girl?" ”

Everyone looked at Elise from head to toe again, although her face was dirty, and her clothes were all patched, but if you looked closely, this child had a bit of a girl's taste, especially her big eyes, which were particularly thorough and smart.

"Who are they, Elise?"

The words of a few people made Jeno sleepy-eyed pull half of his eyes away, tilted his head to look at the five people on the ground, and suddenly yelled at Elise, "Don't you know the rules of the village, outsiders are not welcome here, quickly drive them out." ”

"Jeno, they're the helpers I've hired. Yes to come. ”

"We don't need any helpers! Get out of here, y'all. ”

Jeno didn't wait for Elise to finish speaking, he got up from the straw mat, picked up an empty wine jug next to the straw mat, and threw it at the five people.

Shan Butterfly gently took the flask thrown over, crossed her hands on her hips and said angrily, "It's okay if you want us to go, give us the key, and we'll go." ”

"I don't know what the key is, and you're not welcome here, get out of here."

Jeno clearly didn't look awake, but his face was full of anger, and the combination of the two expressions was ridiculous.

"Jeno, I've all invited them. They're here to help us defeat the Kraken. ”

Elise spoke loudly to Jeno for the first time, using all the strength she could.

"What sea monster?" Larry asked, with his mouth wide open, "Is there a sea monster here?" Ah, there are monsters inside and out, and it looks like we really can't go back alive. ”

"I've told you many times, it's the god of the sea, and it's a matter of the town, don't involve outsiders."

Jeno lowered his head slightly, and as he spoke, he walked to the wall and opened another jug of wine, and took a big sip.

"You help me defeat the sea monster, and I'll tell you where the key is."

Elise ignored Jeno and said to Xingyu with her hands clenched into fists.

"Where's the sea monster?" VC asked lightly.

", you outsiders don't need to worry about the affairs of the town."

Jeno seemed to be a little angry at Elise's disobedience, and although his voice was not as loud as before, it was even more unresistible than just now.

"Jeno, if no one kills the sea monster, then you will be the one who died."

Elise had tears in her eyes, from the beginning of choosing Jeno as the sacrificer, Elise had never cried in front of Jeno's eyes, every time she couldn't help it, she would secretly hide outside and cry enough, wash her face before coming back, but the day of Jeno's sacrifice was getting closer and closer, and her heart began to become more and more overwhelmed.

When she met Xingyu and a few people before, she was hiding in that corner and crying secretly, and after discovering them, she hurriedly wiped the tears on her face with her hands, because she was hiding by the wall, her hands were covered with wall ash, so her face became dirty because of this, and therefore they didn't see that she was a little girl.

"It's fate."

Jeno took another big sip of wine and slowly walked towards Xingyu and his party, "Before I can tell the mayor, you'd better leave quickly, otherwise the people in the town will make your life worse than death." ”

"I don't want Jeno to die."

Elise cried, hugging Jeno's thighs and saying, "This is our last hope." ”

Because Elise had never seen outsiders in this town for as long as she could remember, and after being able to poke her nails into the hard wall like tofu without any effort before seeing VC, Elise somehow instantly decided that these people were sent by Heaven to save Jeno.

Jeno pushed Elise away and said, "This is the rule of the town, and Elise can live well without me." No, Elise would have been better. ”

"Nonsense!"

Xingyu had been watching these two people quietly, but after hearing what Jeno said to Elise, he suddenly clenched his hands into fists and yelled at Jeno, "Without you, she wouldn't be doing well, never will!" ”

Jeno was stunned by Xingyu's sudden roar, but Xingyu was telling the truth, Elise knew it, and Jeno knew it very well in his heart, which was also the soft spot in his heart.

Jeno crunched his teeth, with slightly reddish eyes, walked up to Xingyu in two steps, and raised his hand to smash the entire bottle of wine on Xingyu's head.

"You little devil who doesn't know the height of the sky."

In the face of Jeno's violence, Xingyu, who should have known the result a long time ago, did not dodge in the slightest, allowing the wine jug to shatter on the top of his head, and blood flowed all the way down his head to his chin.

"What are you doing?"

Shan Butterfly was dumbfounded by Jeno's behavior, came back to her senses, pushed Jeno to the ground, turned her head to look at Xingyu and asked, "Xingyu, are you stupid?" Let Larry do it for you, and you can bandage it. ”

Seungwoo ignored Sango's words, and instead walked over to Jeno Butterfly.

"She'll only be happy if she's with you!"

Seungwoo used all his strength to shout at Jeno.

Seeing that Xingyu not only did not dodge, but stared straight at him with the kind of eyes that Jeno hates the most now, Jeno "Ah! The ground roared, and he raised the remaining fragments of the wine bottle in his hand, and was about to stab Xingyu on his head.

"Ahh

Just before Butterbutter and Larry could make a move, Elise suddenly opened her mouth and kept shouting, shouting hoarsely, and then ran towards the door in pain, crying as she ran away, "I hate Jeno, I hate Jeno. ”

"Elise, Elise."

Looking at Elise who disappeared around the corner of the alley, Jeno finally couldn't suppress his emotions anymore, threw away the fragment of the wine bottle in his hand, knelt heavily on the ground, hugged his head and cried.
