Man, saved.

The carriage stopped.

Almost in a few seconds, these two difficult things were completed by the silver-haired girl at the same time, and Hina was dumbfounded for a long time before she suddenly woke up and came to Ciel with a heart full of incredulity.

"With such a fast speed, you can actually slash out sword qi."

She dangled in a circle beside Hill, her tone full of amazement and envy, "If only I could have skills like you, who taught you swordsmanship, how old are you, you should be a year or two younger than me, this is already a swordsman?" ”

Ciel was retracting the greatsword on her back, she couldn't hear Hina's voice, and could only barely make out a few words through the girl's rapidly changing mouth shape, but the meaning of the connection was unclear, and she suddenly showed a blank look.

"Uh......"

Hina did things in a hurry, but she was coarse and fine, she was keenly aware of the difference between Hill and ordinary people, and after being slightly stunned, she asked tentatively:

"You...... Can't you hear what I'm saying? ”

This time Hill recognized the shape of her mouth, she nodded slightly, and was about to use sign language to gesture what she wanted to say, but she saw Vito in the distance and beckoned to this side:

"It's been too long, Ciel, it's time to go!"

There was a hint of impatience in his voice.

Ciel smiled apologetically at Hina and, after carefully placing the little black-haired girl in his arms on the snow, left the middle of the street and walked towards Vito, leaving only a back for Hina who wanted to stop talking.

"This guy ......"

The plan to further communicate with Hill was in vain, and Hina suddenly itched his teeth with anger - what! She viciously watched the figures of Vito and the others go away, feeling that this man was really more and more hateful, and his ugly heart was simply blind to that handsome and unspoken appearance.

"Look at the eyes, it's probably a foreigner, hmph, it's best not to make any mistakes these days, otherwise it will fall into the hands of the navy, and Rina will have to make you look good......"

While she was thinking about it in pieces, she didn't forget about the glasses, and after searching around for a few seconds, she found the pair of red square-framed glasses from more than ten meters away on the east side.

Fortunately, it didn't break, Hina put it on the black-haired little girl with her own hands, holding her little face and taking a closer look, oh, it turned out to be a rare little beauty embryo, and when she grew up in a few years, her appearance was at least the same level as herself.

She felt pity and couldn't help but rub her hands back and forth.

"Thank you...... Thank you ......"

The little black-haired girl who regained her sight, before she could see Hina's appearance clearly, her face was rubbed and rubbed, and her voice suddenly became confused, "Thank you for saving me, big sister of the sea and navy." ”

"Ah, just call me Hina."

Hina lowered her hand happily, "Besides, I didn't save you, it's the female swordsman named Hill just now, what about you, little sister...... Little one, are you a native of our Earle Island, what's your name? ”

Before the words "little sister" were finished, she suddenly changed her name halfway, probably because she recalled that Vito also called herself that just now, and subconsciously resisted.

"I'm a local, my name is Dusty."

The little black-haired girl secretly remembered the name Hill in her heart, and then hesitated, a little timidly, "But home is in the west, a little far from here." ”

Slum families in the western neighborhoods...... Hina is not very surprised, although the little girl in front of her is clean, but the clothes on her body are quite simple and ordinary, and she is also very timid to strangers, and she looks like she is not from a good background.

When the two girls, one older and one younger, knew each other, the coachman struggled to push away the weight that was pressing on him in the wreckage of the overturned carriage and barely stood up.

This is a middle-aged man in his fifties, he looked at the tattered carriage and the snow lion that was seriously injured and unconscious, sighed long, and leaned on the street lamp and half-lay down.

"Hey!"

Hina originally wanted to reprimand the culprit who caused the accident, but when she saw his sad face, she was also a little unbearable, and suddenly her voice was lower, but her tone was still quite blunt and unpolite:

"What's the matter with you? At such an age, you can't even look at your own snow lion, if it weren't for the help of a well-wisher and bumped into this little girl, you would have caused a big disaster, do you know! ”

"Sorry, sorry......"

The middle-aged coachman hurriedly got up and bent down to apologize, and when he raised his head again, his face was also full of bitterness: "I...... I don't know what's going on, this snow lion has been kept by our family for seven or eight years, and it has always been very obedient, but when I passed by the square just now, my eyes suddenly turned red, like crazy all the way, I can't hold ......"

Suddenly red-eyed and crazy?

Hina, who was listening to the front and didn't care, suddenly frowned.

If memory serves, last week, in the fishing village northeast of the city, there seems to have been an incident in which a snow lion ran out of control and disappeared into the mountains and forests.

Since the snow lion was tamed, it has always been known for its loyalty and docility, and it is absolutely obedient to the orders of its master, which has not been common in the past few decades, but recently, there have been two cases in succession......

Is it a coincidence?

Hina turned her head and looked at the snow lion, still unconscious, holding her delicate chin, deep in thought.

…………

The other end.

Just as the sun was setting and at dusk, Vito and his party finally walked the long street along the way and came to the address of the 78 branch base given by Sweet before.

Under the twilight, the main white base fortress building, if it is gilded with light gold strokes by the halo, is majestic, like a majestic mountain, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

"Big enough, I like it!"

Standing outside the gate, Heiko looked up at the magnificent fortress building, his mood was surging with excitement for the first time in a long time, he smiled, and left all the grievances of the past few days behind, "This is like the office of the Colonel!" ”

Even if you still have to obey Vito secretly, anyway, on the surface, this luxurious building is your own. With the coveted comfort just around the corner, Heiko has already begun to fantasize about his own spacious desk and a leisurely life with a cup of coffee......

Excited and expectant, Heiko strode to the front and walked towards the gate.

However, at this time, a bald old man with a deformed figure and a fat figure almost comparable to Heiko blocked the door, and he stopped Heiko with half of his feet in the door.

He had what looked like a visitor registration document under his arm, and looked at everyone suspiciously, and finally his eyes fell on the face of Heiko, who seemed to be the leader:

"Who are you looking for?"
