Sitting under the night sky, Ania poked the bonfire in front of her with her teacher's precious magic staff, and Ania loved it, and she didn't know why. Apex As for why use a magic wand?

You must know that the black magician's magic wand is not the kind of second-hand goods that a certain package of nine pieces and nine free shipping or bought on the same night, this is the magic wand that Ania used to almost knock Grace into confusion with a stick before, and if it is hard, Ania even thinks that even the white jade sword left by the sword warrior can't cut this sword in the slightest, right?

But this action made Caroline next to her a little puzzled: "Why do you use a magic wand to poke the fire?" Wouldn't that burn out the wand? ”

"No, it won't." Ania pulled out her wand, which was so intact that it was unrecognizable that it had just been taken out of the fire.

Caroline stared at the fire wordlessly, and Ania glanced at the boiling soup on the fire, and then asked Caroline, "What's wrong?" Thinking about something? ”

Caroline came back to reality from her distraction and said, "I'm thinking about Fox......"

"Don't worry, I've already set up a magic circle around his grave, and there won't be any wild beasts going to dig out his corpse and eat it." Ania said as she lifted the pot from the fire, and Ania smiled at Caroline as she smelled the smell of meat, "If you are worried about anything, you will go back tomorrow to confirm?" I won't go with you, though. ”

Caroline shook her head slightly, "No, I'm not worried about his corpse...... Fox: Like me, he grew up in the slums. Our parents died a long time ago, and I was with my grandmother, and Fox was with his sister......"

"Do you want to tell me a story?" Ania handed Caroline a bowl of soup and said, "I don't mind what I have to say, but I can probably know what you're going through." ”

"It's not...... Fawkes's sister also passed away two months ago, and she asked me to take good care of Fawkes in her place before she died, but I ......" Caroline couldn't hold back her tears at this point.

It's just that Ania cares about whether the soup that fell into the bowl of tears can still be drunk......

Elizabeth got out of Aniah's clothes, the main reason why it came out was that this smart mouse knew that if she didn't take this opportunity to hang around, she was very likely to encounter the same experience as Zhen Xiang.

Fearing that Elizabeth would fall into her bowl and ruin the soup, Ania threw Elizabeth to the ground and continued to drink the soup contentedly, saying, "What are you doing now?" Anyway, it's already happened, and even if you promised Fox's sister before, you can't actually do anything, can you? In the end, it was he who protected you from death. ”

Aniah's words were like a knife to Caroline's heart, but Ania didn't have the kind heart to take care of Caroline's feelings. It was a meeting in Pingshui, and it was already benevolent for her to be able to save Caroline, and there was no need to comfort this guy.

Looking at Caroline, who was so uncomfortable that she couldn't speak, Ania sighed and said, "Aren't you an adventurer? For adventurers, this level of life and death is almost a necessary path, and it is difficult for most adventurers and teammates who formed a team at the beginning to have the opportunity to cooperate for more than five years. Because in the past five years, many newcomers will be killed by monsters due to lack of experience, and Fawkes is just one of the thousands of adventurers, and you obviously want to be one of them, you know what I mean? ”

Caroline was still a little dazed, and Ania continued, "That means you were going to die with Fawkes, but you were lucky enough to escape. If you blame yourself for the other person's death, it is unnecessary, because tomorrow you will embark on a new journey and will most likely be killed by the new monster before you have walked 200 meters. Or maybe you managed to dodge that monster and then get eaten by another monster when you breathe a sigh of relief...... The world of adventurers is cruel, and since you have chosen this profession, don't let this little setback slump. Don't let his death become your demons, but let your partner's sacrifice for you be the cornerstone of your progress. ”

Ania knew that what she said was excessive, and it was indeed too much to use the death of her partner to grow herself, but Ania would be parting ways with Caroline after tomorrow morning, and Ania would no longer be able to protect the novice adventurer. All she could do was to try to bring this weak creature out of the shadows of her heart tonight, so as not to affect the battle by remembering such things in the future.

Caroline also seemed to understand what Ania meant, she put down the bowl in her hand and hugged her knees and sobbed, "I know, I know it shouldn't be like this, but ...... But I'm really scared that Fawkes died in front of my eyes like that, and I couldn't do anything when that monster pierced Fawkes's body......"

"What do you wish you could do?" Ania asked Caroline, "Do you wish you could act on your own and rush up and hit the head of the Stormtooth Leopard with your longbow?" And then two people were killed by each other together? ”

"I'm ......" Caroline was momentarily speechless, not knowing how she should respond to Aniah's words.

"I'm still going to tell you that the life of an adventurer is not so simple. If you don't even have such an awareness, you might as well give up your career as an adventurer and go home to find an easier and safer job. ”

Caroline bit her lower lip and couldn't speak, she wanted to refute Ania but didn't know how to refute it. She knows her own incompetence, she knows her cowardice. None of this is what an adventurer should have, and someone like her shouldn't be an adventurer in the first place.

"I'm sorry......" said Caroline, "I was so naïve to think that if I became an adventurer, I would be able to get rare gems and make a lot of money......"

Is it money again? Another poor guy who chose to be an adventurer because of money...... Luckily, she hasn't been an adventurer for long, and it's still too late to quit.

"Here you go." Ania tossed a bag to Caroline, and when the bag was opened, it turned out to be a bag of yellow gold coins: "Take this money and go back to find a peaceful job, you are not suitable to be an adventurer." ”

Caroline's tears flowed even more, and she was silent and looked at Ania for a long time, before she nodded to Ania and said, "Thank you, Miss Ania ......"

"Okay, thank me for what ...... doing"

……

When the sun shone on the land again, Caroline woke up from her sleep and did not see Aniah. Aniah's luggage isn't here either, so it looks like she's left early, right?

Caroline glanced at the purse beside her, which she tucked away in her torn leather armor. Since Miss Ania saved herself and gave her the capital to go back to work, she can't live up to Miss Aniah's kindness, right?

She returned to the place where Fawkes had been buried, the improvised tomb she and Ania had built yesterday.

Standing in front of the grave, Caroline said to Fawkes, "I'm sorry, Fawkes...... I'm really not suitable to be an adventurer, I can't even shoot an arrow, how can I become an adventurer...... I'm sorry I can't fulfill the promise I made with you...... In the end, I can only choose to escape, and I have lost you now that I have been hiding behind you since I was a child...... I simply don't have the fortitude and determination to keep fighting......"

It seems that you think you may not be able to control it if you continue to talk, right? So Caroline paused and took a deep breath and said, "Goodbye Fawkes, I'm going back now...... I'll help you sweep the grave over there, Sister Beverly...... I'm sorry I can't take you back with me. I will try to visit you in the future, so I hope you can forgive me......"

Leaning down and kissing the tombstone, the longbow and quiver on her back were placed in front of the tombstone, and Caroline turned to leave.

From today onwards, she is no longer an adventurer, she has become an ordinary slum girl. What kind of life awaits her in the future? What kind of job will she get? What kind of people do you meet?

Is it possible to find a boy who loves her, and then get married and have children after experiencing a relationship with that person that is not singable but loving. Just plainly watching your children grow up and eventually grow old, or your lover will leave first, or maybe you will go to another world first?

Walking in the forest, Caroline's future was like the rising sun, and she listened to the birdsong around her, but remembered that she didn't seem to have asked about Ania yet: "Where is Miss Ania from...... I wonder if I can go to her in the future to repay her......"

As Caroline was thinking this, something seemed to touch her, but Caroline couldn't feel it very clearly. She didn't see anything more than the sharp claw she saw at the end of her eyes......

"Ah...... When I go back, I have to buy medicine for my grandmother first......"

“！” Ania looked in the direction she had left as if sensing something, and Elizabeth in her clothes came out and asked her "squeak".

"It's okay, maybe it's my delusion...... Ah, forgot to ask where Caroline is from...... Forget it, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, if it's fate, we can naturally meet again in the future......"
