Chapter 742: Illusory World, Dragon Country (6)
Originally, since the last time he injured his head, Sivi has been nervous and busy.
Even when they were on that desert island, in order to ensure that they were not discovered by the Naga Siren, they also had to try not to miss the dragoons passing by while ensuring food. Almost all the time, Sivi's nerves were in a high state of tension.
However, as soon as he returned to the seaside town and got a rare three-day vacation, Xiwei suddenly found that after leaving the military service, he was suddenly idle and had nothing to do......
You must know that it is a period of martial law, all military supplies have been confiscated, the shops in the city are basically closed, and the residents' rations and daily necessities are rationed by the army, so naturally there is no option to go shopping.
After sitting in front of the memorial monument all day yesterday, Sivi didn't plan to continue to be sad - people always have to look forward, although no one asked for that, but Sivi always felt that he no longer had the responsibility of only his own life, and he wanted to inherit it along with his comrades......
Joss wasn't home, and neither was Noir, and the two of them were said to have gone to see the fireball. This made Sivi a little uncomfortable subtly.
However, after discussing with Nuoer about whether he was jealous for a long time, he was angry and did not go with the two.
"Sure enough, it's better to go to the dragon shed, I didn't go because I was jealous...... After all, the fireball is also my mount, and caring for the health of my wyvern is also an important duty as a dragoon! ”
After casually giving himself a reason, Sivi planned to go out.
But at this time. He suddenly found that Josi's sister Joya was doing something in the study.
Driven by the soul of seeking knowledge, he slowly walked to the door.
Although she had been living in this house for two days, Joya still seemed a little afraid of Sivi.
He gets along very well with Noel, which is not surprising at all, after all, Noel is a good self-acquaintance who can get along with anyone.
"Joya, are you drawing?"
When she came to the study, Sivi found that the little girl was scribbling on the white paper with crayons.
Startled by Sivi, the little girl almost fell off her chair, and she ran to the corner of the study with her box of precious crayons in her arms. Curl up your body as much as you can. Looking at Sivi in fear, his small body still trembling uncontrollably......
This hurt Sivi...... Does he look so scary?
Although except for No'er, in his memory, Sivi has almost no experience with girls. However, he still knew very well that if he approached the other party casually now. It is likely to make the other person more scared.
So he decided to find a topic.
"Hmm. Is that a painting you made? This apple is very well drawn. Turning his gaze to the desk, Sivi saw what the little girl had drawn with crayons earlier, and spoke.
Compliments are always one of the best ways to bring two people closer. After all, there's no one who doesn't like to hear good things.
“…… Not Apple. ”
But Sivi's plan failed, and the look of fear on the girl's face faded a little, but was replaced by a slight anger.
"Huh?" Sivi was stunned for a moment, and looked back at the picture.
It's a pity that he looks like an apple no matter how you look at it.
"That'...... Could it be a peach? He asked tentatively.
"Not fruit! No, no, no! The girl seemed to forget her fear, and shouted with her hands raised.
"Hmm, that's really hard to guess...... "Sivi touched his chin: "Is it ass?" ”
"It's not a ——!"
A faint flush appeared on the girl's face—not from shyness, but from irritation.
She pursed her lips, and she didn't look like she was timid and pitiful in the past, but she had a little more of the coquettishness of a little girl of this age.
"It's the Order of the Six Pointed Star!"
As if afraid that Sivi would come up with other nonsense answers, the little girl finally bet on Sivi before he could speak.
The Order of the Six Pointed Stars, like the Golden Cross, represents the highest honor a person can receive in the human realm. It's just that the former is a privilege that can only be obtained by alchemists, while the latter is the highest honor for soldiers.
"Is Joya going to be an alchemist?" Sivi asked curiously. Since she can draw this, it shouldn't matter if she thinks so, right?
"No, Joya, I'm going to be a big artist!"
The little girl shook her head unexpectedly and said with a serious face: "This medal is what I want to give to my brother...... He's always wanted this, and for that reason he always lives in the alchemy academy and doesn't go home......"
Sivi didn't speak, just listened quietly to what the girl had to say.
"Qiao Ya is the only one in the house, and it feels so lonely and scary...... So as long as I have this, my brother will definitely return home and will not go anywhere. ”
The girl's innocent feelings made Xiwei's heart a little blocked.
There must have been quite a few children like her in the war, right? No, according to normal thinking, little Qiao Ya can already be regarded as relatively lucky. At least she is not an orphan, she has an older brother to depend on her, and Josi's current rank in the army does not seem to be low, and she will not let Joya suffer materially.
Of course, even so, Sivi will not turn a blind eye to the little girl's grief.
So he dismissed the idea of going to the dragon shed, and together with the girl, he perfected the painting of the Order of the Six Pointed Stars.
And the little girl also unconsciously relaxed her vigilance against him, and even could already play with him without abnormality.
When Noel was the first to get home, she found Sivi lying asleep in the study covered with a fluffy carpet, while Joya was lying on Sivi's stomach, using his relatively strong belly as a pillow, and also sleeping sweetly.
"When did these two guys get so good in their relationship......
Noel was startled at first, but then immediately smiled softly.
She ran to her room and took two thin blankets and covered them with each of them. Prevent them from catching colds.
On the third day of the holiday, Joss was still away from home because of something else going on at the Alchemy Academy, while Sivi and Nuoer played with Joya, painted together, went to see Fireball together, and went shopping on the street with few shops......
And Joya has become as cheerful and cute as an ordinary little girl, completely lacking the timid and dark feeling that Sivi had when they first met her.
The three of them walked together in such harmony that the owner of a certain shop even treated them like a family of three—people as big as Sivi during the war. It's not uncommon to get married and have children.
It's late afternoon. With the encouragement of Sivi and Noor, the little girl finally prepared the apple she had prepared for a long time...... Ahem, I said that the six-pointed star medal picture was given to my brother Qiao Si, and I was rewarded by the other party for touching his head. This left Joya in a state of extreme euphoria until she went to bed.
The happy time passed quickly. The third day of the holiday ends. Sivi and the others returned to a tense state of preparation.
The invasions of the Naga Sirens seem to be becoming more frequent, and the current situation of the North Sea Trolls is also worrying, and the entire human society is in turmoil. Precarious.
As heroes, Sivi and the others were inevitably assigned several dangerous reconnaissance missions. Of course, Sivi also thinks that those tasks must also have the meaning of the high command.
However, under the maneuvering of Segail, the difficulty of the task is not yet high enough to kill them 100%. And the experience and strength of Xiwei and Nuo'er are also getting stronger and stronger in the blink of life and death again and again.
Casualties are never inevitable in war, even if only now when humans and Naga Sirens are tempting each other.
Reinforcements from elsewhere also lost a lot of men, and after a week, the camp in the city was finally vacant.
This also means that Sivi is about to move out of Jos's villa.
Sivi didn't have a lot of luggage - as soldiers, they had almost no luggage, most of their stuff was bought when they accompanied Joya shopping, and neither of them could fill a small suitcase together.
"Thank you for taking care of me these days."
Sivi thanked Jos, who had dark circles around his face and looked a little tired and sluggish.
During this period, Joss really didn't spend much time at home, even less than Sivi, who had a heavy reconnaissance mission. According to him, the subject of their research has made great progress, and it may soon be able to be applied to warfare.
"No thanks...... I should thank you. Thanks to the presence of such excellent dragoons as you, I was able to collect so many good numbers, which also laid a solid foundation for our real yàn. ”
Qiao Si laughed, his voice sounding sleepy from lack of sleep: "When the real yàn is completed, I promise that the first one will let you enjoy our results!" ”
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Sivi smiled politely, then looked to the side.
Noel is saying goodbye to Joya. The little girl who used to be gloomy is now as cute as a doll, but now the doll is pouring tears and making people feel distressed.
"Don't cry, we're in this city too, so it's easy to meet if you want to meet."
Seeing this, Xiwei couldn't help but say, and at the same time reached out and rubbed the other party's little head.
For some reason, he always felt that he did this action so easily, as if he had done it many times......
"That's right...... By all means, you must come and see me! The little girl held out her hand and cocked her little finger.
Xiwei couldn't help but show a soft smile on his face, and he also stretched out his little finger, hooked his finger with the other party, and made an agreement.
"Rest assured, we won't break our word."
"That's right!" Nuo'er also wiped her face with a crying face, and stretched out her little finger to the little girl.
After saying goodbye again, the two officially left Josi's villa and returned to the army camp. (To be continued......)
PS: Some readers say that the amnesia terrier is too old, and I think it is.
Some readers said that this paragraph was too boring, and I think it is.
Some readers said let's fast forward, and I think so.
Some editors said that the subscriptions have been slightly less recently, and I think it is the same.
It seems like something strange has been mixed in, but please don't worry about it.
In short, there are at most two chapters left in the Dragon Kingdom chapter, which is almost over...... Let the legendary Sivi come soon.
