"Why are you talking to me about this. We're your next adversary, and you can leave me alone. Victoria looked at the little boy with a complicated look in her eyes. She didn't understand, Xiu didn't need to say this to her at all, even if she was in the knight's code to treat her wounds, she didn't need to do this.

Xiu stood up and pushed open the door of the dormitory, and the wind and snow poured into the small room to face Xiu.

"I'm a knight." Xiu looked back and smiled, "Of the Kaslana family." ”

He walked out of the dorm room and closed the door with his backhand.

It seems that as soon as the wind gets excited at night. They unleash their power to the fullest, and indulge in their violent side in the sky and the earth. Such madness could not resist even the thick clouds. During the day, clouds will emerge from unknown places and then condense. At most, people in the camp can see the sunrise, but not the sunset. But the heavy clouds that had condensed for the whole day were easily torn apart by the night wind. The shattered clouds were like dust, easily carried by the wind to unknown distances. The clear and translucent sky is revealed.

The sky is clearer and cleaner than in the summer, because there is not a single impurity in the sky.

It's just that the starlight at this time, the moonlight at this time, is also cold and biting.

The night sky in winter is cold and silent, but it is the cleanest. Because nights like this are so clear.

Xiu withdrew his gaze to the sky, stepped on the snow that had not reached his calf, walked to the edge of the stable with the sound of "gargling" footsteps, and pushed the door open.

What he saw was the eyes of more than a dozen people who were already staring at the door.

"Are you going to let us go?" Ness asked.

"No... I need your help. Xiu said calmly.

Ness looked at Xiu's immature face and had some doubts in her heart.

"How can we help you? There isn't much we'll do, but we'll do our best. Ness subconsciously grabbed the wheat straw on the ground.

"It's not difficult, it's related to your captain." Xiu scratched his head: "I won't take care of people." But your captain is not doing well. Feel free I need someone to take care of her... A lot of people. ”

"How much?" Ness swallowed.

"Well, one person is responsible for the quilt, one person is responsible for boiling water, one person is responsible for adding wood, one person is responsible for the vigil, one person ... It seems that it takes quite a lot, about a dozen people. ”

"These can be done by one person, why do you have so many people."

"You can't do it alone." Xiu smiled, "Because Victoria's injuries are too serious, in fact, when I came over, it was already very bad." The situation is not rosy. ”

Ness held her legs and lowered her head without speaking.

"Can anyone help me? Victoria was not very comfortable. Who can take care of her? Xiu said loudly.

The Valkyries looked at each other, hesitating. Eventually, his eyes gradually fell on Ness.

Ness didn't say a word. She bowed her head and huddled in the corner with her legs folded.

Xiu wasn't in a hurry, just watched quietly and waited. Waiting for Ness's final response.

"Sally." Ness whispered a name.

The youngest Valkyrie subconsciously stood up.

After Ness said the name, she didn't say anything more. The little Valkyrie blinked her eyes a little uncertainly.

After a long time, she whispered hesitantly, "Sister Ness, I... Let's take a look at the captain? ”

Ness didn't respond, still bowing her head and not speaking.

"I... I'll go to the captain to boil water..."The little Valkyrie walked softly.

After Sally left, Ness suddenly read another name. The Valkyrie stood up.

"Ness, I... I'm going to take a look too, I'm going to help the captain cover the quilt...", and she's gone.

Ness called out another name, and another Valkyrie stood up.

"I'm going too... Oh. "Another Valkyrie is gone.

Ness said her name one by one, and the Valkyries who had been called left one after another. In the end, Ness was the only one left.

"Why don't you go?"

Ness kept her head down and didn't look at him.

Xiu wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

"I'm asking you to help, not to let you live there. You, you will not be punished. "Xiu is also a little uncertain.

"Thank you." Ness's voice was muffled.

"Uh... You are welcome. You—" Xiu wanted to say something, but he couldn't.

"We're all gone, it's not about taking care of people. Somebody's got to be here. Ness huddled tightly.

"yes, I see." Xiu turned and left.

Niss hugged her legs tightly, and after Zaixiu left, she couldn't help but tremble violently.

She's cold.

Although the stables were covered with a lot of wheat straw, they were also sealed with wooden planks to prevent them from wind. But that's warm enough for horses, not for people.

She was alone and huddled in a corner, tightly wrapped in her cloak. But that didn't make her feel much better.

Suddenly, the door was opened again, and she turned her head to see Xiu holding a stack of black wood.

He threw the wood on the ground and made a chaotic "bang" sound, and in three or two strokes he carved out a small open space in the wheat straw pile, and after a long time he finally lit the fire.

Ness watched quietly as Xiu slowly tinkered. When the fire came up, she finally couldn't help it, "What the hell do you want to do!" What the hell do you mean now! She couldn't understand what Xiu was doing, "Are you trying to buy us!" You did it because you were afraid that we would be cruel to you, didn't you? ”

"No, I just wanted to make friends with you. You're a Valkyrie, but I'm also a knight. There are more than a few rules for knighthood. I have my own guidelines. At least... I don't want to see anyone uncomfortable in front of me..."

The flames of the dark wood were indeed fierce, and after a short while, the whole stable warmed up.

Ness watched closely, at his face, into his eyes, at his expression.

She couldn't see what the little boy was trying to do.

She couldn't think of anything to covet about herself.

She saw Xiu sitting steadily like this, without the slightest intention of leaving, and she was also a little puzzled, "Aren't you going back to the room?" ”

"It's all your companions, it's all women, I'm not used to it." Xiu was a little embarrassed and said, "Even if they don't speak, I feel very awkward... My room has never been so crowded. ”

"It's better than here."

"It's useless if you can't sleep, no matter how comfortable you are." Xiu Zhi fell to the side and looked at the fire, "I should still be able to fall asleep here." ”

"I'm also a woman, can you fall asleep?" Ness looked up, eyes peeking out of her arms.

"At least not that many." "At least, there shouldn't be a man in the place where your captain is recuperating." ”

"You're so much younger than us." Ness smiled blankly, "It's okay if you're there. ”

Xiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't want to stay there.

"If the contest is over, can you eat?"

"I don't know. We never know what we can and can't do. Because as long as we do things that Dimert didn't allow us to do, we're basically going to be subjected to... Punishment. ”

Xiu didn't speak anymore.

Stillness is punishment. That person must be a very bad, very evil person.

He turned over and looked at the planks on the top of the stable.

Can you make up your mind?

Xiu thought back to the conversation he had with Aguila that day.

He knew it was time for him to make a decision.
