65 Foothold

"Granny Roxana!" Shane replied as he walked into the room.

Soon, a sturdy old woman came out of the house with a smile. Her hair was gray and her face was wrinkled, but for some reason, she had a wonderful vitality throughout her.

As if she wasn't old......

"My dear little Shane, um, where is Gnay, and these two are ......," the old woman looked at Victor and Rayaya, her gaze pausing for a moment as she skimmed over Rayaya.

"Gnay ......" Shane bowed his head in silence, "she...... She wouldn't have ...... if I hadn't had to go back."

Shane's shoulders trembled slightly. He was muffling the sound of crying, but even so, anyone could see his sadness.

"Let's talk about it first. What's going on?" Roxana's face was solemn, "Two young men, who are you?"

"My name is 'Wei', and I am a soldier, a soldier who is tired of war. She is 'Rayaya', a shipwrecked traveler from Vichy. Wei Ken thought for a moment and replied.

"Mother-in-law, Wei helped me and Gnay, can you ......" Shane tried to adjust his breathing to suppress his grief for the time being.

As a thirteen-year-old, he is far ahead of his peers......

Weken glanced at him.

War...... Stronger than any catalyst, more fierce than any education, but does this kind of "maturity" really fall on children? If the price of growth is the loss of those around them, then such a price is too high.

"No problem. Roxana agreed, "But before that, tell me what the hell is going on, what happened to Gnai." ”

Walk through the small courtyard and into the house.

Weken surveyed the room.

The hall was very spacious, and a statue of an unknown woman was displayed, and in front of it there was some food that appeared to be an offering.

"The statue of the god of wind is a religion that existed in an area of the wind and rain forest in the past. "It seems to be a prayer ritual for the blessing of the deceased...... In fact, there can only be some comfort. ”

Magicians know these etiquette, and Reaya is no exception.

As Shane recounted what had happened to Roxana, Weken also got a glimpse of the general layout of the house.

After entering the courtyard is the hall, which leads to the corridors on the left and right, and a staircase to the top. There is a room on each side of the first floor, and it looks like there will be rooms upstairs as well. And next to the stairs, there is also a door to the backyard.

"Thank you very much for rescuing Shane......

At this time, Roxana had also understood the situation. She stroked Shane's head sadly, then looked at Weken.

Shane did not say the identity of Reaya, but only said that he was attacked by Shirt Snow as an encounter with gangsters.

"Wei, thank you for helping Shane and his siblings find food......

"Nothing. Weken shook his head, "If it weren't for us, maybe they wouldn't have encountered those gangsters." ”

"We also know that wave of gangsters. Roxana sighed, "Last night, the militia in the village spotted a group of armed men nearby. Although they did not attack, the villagers were worried. The militia has been sent to ask for help, but I don't know when the troops to exterminate the bandits will arrive......"

Weken nodded, indicating that he was listening.

Rayaya, on the other hand, kept her head down, and no one could see her face hidden by her hair.

Roxana looked at Reaya from time to time, the confusion in her eyes intensifying.

"Ma'am, may I ask my companion any questions?" Wei Ken frowned slightly.

After all, it is the first person to come into contact with, and although it is not perceivable by malice, it is still necessary to be just in case. If Reyaya's identity were found out by someone else, and then told to Presie, she would be in a very difficult situation.

"It's nothing, just call me mother-in-law. Roxana sighed, "It's just a feeling that the two countries are fighting in the eastern part of the Wind and Rain Forest, and they don't treat civilians as human beings." Alas, such a young child should be exiled from Vichy to Riardo...... Well, I'll get you some food and clothes, and I'll take a good rest here as one of my few thanks. ”

"Thank you. Weken nodded, and gave Reaya a slight elbow in his hand.

Reaya looked up.

Weken noticed her gaze—guilt.

Even if this trace of guilt was only for a moment, it was hidden in the darkness of her eyes.

"Thank you......" Reaya smiled a somewhat reluctant smile at Roxana.

As the one who started the war, it had to accept assistance from those who had been hurt by the war......

"All right, son, come with me, and I'll lend you the clothes of my youth. Roxana smiled kindly, "If you dress up, you'll be a pretty girl!"

However, Reaya did not dare to face Roxana's gaze, did not dare to face that kind smile.

"Wei, I'll find you a set of my son's clothes. You're about the size of my youngest son. ”

"Yes, thank you very much. Weken nodded.

Reyaya, has she changed? If she had first seen her, she would have held her head up haughtily and turned her nose up at the clothes and aid of civilians......

"Reaya......" Wei Ken called Reaya softly.

"Huh?" Reaya turned around.

"It's nothing, you can go with your mother-in-law first......" Wei Ken shook his head, and looked out the window.

With a furrowed brow, Weken unconsciously put his hand on the longsword left by Floyd.

Why, she would show such a gaze, she should obviously be one of those shameless nobles, those who sucked the flesh and blood of all the commoners.

Yes, I've seen her brainless aristocratic face...... I should have hated her, hated her, and shouldn't have pitied her......

Wei Ken followed the path and looked into the distance, and on the other side, there was a forest of white mangs.

"General, why is that?"

The hilt of the sword was cold, and Freud could not answer himself, and all his comrades could not answer themselves. They all died in the war, and they became despicable corpses in the snow and ice.

You have to be ruthless, and you can't pity her any more. All he needs now is to exchange for the merits of Lizlit's mother and daughter to live in peace, and just to find the power to kill Pree.

Brilliant exploits, glory in the eyes of all - just for salvation and revenge.

As for Reyaya's conversion, whatever it is, it's just an illusion. In her heart, she is definitely still the "imperial princess" who is arrogant and domineering and does not take the lives of civilians seriously. She's too, the magician who can use terrifying magic......

"Wei, I'll find you a set of clothes. Replace that leather armor on you. At this time, Granny Roxana came out with a suit of clothes and handed it to Wei Ken, "Don't think about it so much, there is no shame in running away from the battlefield. ”

"Thank you. Weken took the clothes and looked at Reaya, who was holding a set of clothes.

"Let the girls wash first. Roxana nodded, then looked at Weken.

Weken's brow furrowed slightly.

Do you want to get Reaya out of her sight......?

"That, Granny Roxana......" At this time, Reaya's voice sounded, "Actually, Wei has been protecting me, can you let him wait outside the bathhouse?"

Roxana was slightly stunned, while Wei Ken was a little surprised.

What the hell is she trying to do? Isn't finding gaps, trying magic, and waiting for an escape to be her favorite thing to do?

"I see. Roxana smiled knowingly, then patted Wei Ken lightly on the shoulder, "Young man, cherish such a pretty girl." ”

Weken: "......"

Did she misunderstand something?

"Yes......"

Helplessly, Wei Ken finally nodded.

In this case, I can't find any excuse, I can't pick up the long sword and kill all those who know indiscriminately, right? Revenge is necessary, but if you sacrifice other innocent people for revenge, you still can't do it.

Standing outside the bathhouse, Wicken listened to the sound of running water coming from inside.

Roxana was boiling wood and hot water in the back of the bathhouse, while Weken stood outside for half an hour.

Looking at the door of the bathhouse with a complicated face, Wei Ken sighed: "Reyaya, can't you take a good bath? Don't ask me if I'm still there after a few clicks!!Didn't I say I'm still waiting outside!!"

"I'm ......," Reaya shrank timidly, before cautiously replying, "I'm worried you're not there...... I've been, I don't know what to do......"

A person with a complex heart is never just one person.
