Chapter 39: Hepburn's Story

The girl looked at Roddy with some suspicion, and her sitting position was very conducive to running away when the situation was not good.

"I don't have any money on me. ”

Roddy didn't expect the girl's first sentence to be this, and after being stunned for a while, he looked at her strangely.

"I just feel lucky, you said I was Mr. Lucky, like now, I'm really lucky to have met you. ”

The girl slowly adjusted her position, and Roddy noticed that she was wearing leather high-tops, which didn't look like they fit her from the ankles, more like adult men's shoes, and that there was some green moss-like stuff around the edge of the soles.

"My name is Hepburn, do you have anything to do with me?"

Roddy Mo read the name and looked at Hepburn's appearance again, she was indeed a rare beautiful girl.

At first, she couldn't see her face because she was covered in a robe, and if she could see it at the time, Roddy felt that even a liar could be fooled.

"Hmm," said Roddy, who pondered for a while.

"That's right, your teacher's divination has made me very interested, so I want to get to know some of your teacher. ”

Hepburn first observed Roddy to see if he was teasing himself, but Roddy was very sincere, so Hepburn sighed and said bluntly:

"He's a shameful liar, I was just like you, and I spent a lot of gold pounds on it, but he's not really a soothsayer at all!"

"He's just a shameful thief!"

Hepburn added fiercely at the end.

Looking at Hepburn's angry appearance, Roddy still felt pleasing to the eye, but Roddy didn't fully agree with what she said, even if what she said was true, Roddy still had a strong interest in this fake soothsayer, and the reason was the fate card.

"Thief? What did he steal?"

"That deck of cards!"

Hepburn's answer was unexpected by Roddy, but it made sense.

"Can you tell me your story?"

Hepburn looked at Roddy with some vigilance, and after a long time, he hooked his feet, supported his chin with both hands, and talked about a bloody plot of running away from home.

Hepburn, like Roddy, was born in the countryside, but she loved adventures and novelties, and a small village simply couldn't satisfy her.

"So I stole the money and left my hometown alone. ”

"And I was in a state of confusion, I didn't know where to go, the outside world was new, but I didn't know what to do with it, I felt lost and even in danger. ”

Luo Di asked at the right time:

"For example?"

Hepburn pursed his lips and said:

"Some robbers. ”

Roddy immediately understood that Hepburn's appearance was enough to make people have evil thoughts, let alone a robber who gave up his kindness and did murder and arson.

"I think that must be terrible. ”

Hepburn nodded aggrievedly, she hugged her knees tightly, looking scared.

Roddy didn't know how to describe his feelings, but he did feel the fear, so he said softly:

"And then, someone helped you?"

Hepburn's depressed mood began to change, her eyes looked straight ahead, as if she saw something, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

"A knight helped me, he was as tall as the sun, but there were too many robbers, he took my hand, and I felt that warmth, that sense of security. ”

Roddy frowned imperceptibly, deciding that she shouldn't have asked this question, intending to learn how to connect with the fake soothsayer from her experience and get to know him from the side.

Now it seems that a direct interruption is not appropriate.

"Hehe, that must be an excellent man. ”

Roddy could only echo boringly.

"Yes, he was brave, he led away the robbers alone, I was scared alone, I waited where I was, I waited for a day, he didn't show up, I wanted to go to him but I didn't know how to go, there were dense forests everywhere, and I was hungry. ”

Roddy immediately realized that what was going to happen was probably what he cared about, so he immediately spoke:

"And then, I met your teacher?"

Hepburn frowned slightly, obviously not very fond of the title, but finally sighed.

"Yes, but he at least helped me, got me out of there, and gave me a free divination. ”

"Let me guess. Roddy interrupted with a smile:

"What does his divination describe your experience of running away from home and receiving help from a knight?"

Hepburn nodded reluctantly.

"He satisfied my curiosity about novelties and made me aware of the existence of the soothsayer, and I told him that I was looking for the knight. ”

"He told me that fate was in the north, so I followed him to the city of Kotar and became his apprentice. ”

Luo Di nodded and asked calmly:

"How did you find out that he was a thief and not a real soothsayer?"

"An accident. ”

Hepburn's eyes turned red again, and his voice seemed a little helpless and choked.

"I saw his diary, which detailed how he did divination, and at first I was excited, but I thought it was wrong, but in the end, I chose to peek at it. ”

"I shouldn't have peeked. ”

Hepburn finally couldn't hold back his tears.

"His fate card was stolen, and he noticed me early on, followed me secretly, saw the robbers chasing me and the knights helping me, and then performed divination for it. ”

"I was shocked, but I don't really blame him, he wrote in his diary 'I want to help this girl, but I'm afraid of robbers', he was a timid man, but he did help me, just..."

Hepburn wiped tears from his eyes, extremely sad.

Roddy sighed, did nothing, and waited quietly for her to finish crying, this was a girl who was completely unfamiliar with the world, but as she said, both the knight and the fake soothsayer protected her in a sense.

This is her greatest luck.

In the subsequent exchanges, Roddy finally learned that Hepburn did not actually blame the fake soothsayer for his deception, but could not accept his behavior of running away alone.

To Roddy's speechlessness, she lives with her teacher in a deserted sewer in Kotar City, where a strange and terrifying creature passes by one night, leaving her alone and escaping.

Luckily, the creature was just passing by, and Hepburn didn't even see it, but the experience was still enough to blow her.

"Can you show me where you live?"

Roddy cared about what the fake soothsayer had left behind when he fled, and it would have been nice if that deck of cards had been there.

"I've left the sewers and now I've found a cheap place to rent on Blackwillow Street. ”

She feared that the terrifying creature would pass by again, and that the fake soothsayer had enough gold pounds left behind for her to find a cheap place to rent.

Roddy could understand her concern.

"Can you give me the address of the sewers?"

Hepburn hesitated for a moment and said:

"I'll take you there, it's complicated there, and it's easy to get lost if there is no one to lead the way. ”

"But, maybe you'll meet that monster?" Roddy certainly thinks it's best to have someone lead the way, but in case he encounters a monster, to be honest, he doesn't have the ability to protect Hepburn.

Hepburn shook his head.

"If it's daytime, there should be no problem. ”
