4. Determination
The big eyes and the small eyes looked at each other, and neither of them blinked.
Since there is no timer, no one will know how long these two have remained in this state.
But in the end, it was the little eye who couldn't support it and was defeated.
It was a little girl with bright blonde hair, about five or six years old, with a small pink face and a little baby fat; Her pupils were deep blue, like the purest sapphire; The bridge of the nose is high and the lips are thin and small, which makes her facial features appear very independent and distinct.
Even if you are only five or six years old, you are already a standard beauty embryo.
However, at this moment, the little girl's face looked a little sluggish, and her spirit was obviously in a state of extreme fatigue.
"Daddy." The little girl let out a cry of dissatisfaction, "You don't hurt Anna now." ”
Su Yan sighed helplessly, he really didn't care about children at all: "It's warmer for you to wrap yourself in a blanket." Now that the temperature is so low, and my body has lost its temperature, holding you will only make you more likely to get sick. ”
"I don't care!" The little girl continued to protest, and then began to stare into Su Yan's eyes for the thirty-first time.
But this time, it was Su Yan who was defeated.
With a helpless face, he wrapped the blanket around the girl, wrapped it tightly and then picked her up.
The little girl's face soon appeared with a satisfied smile.
Maybe she was really tired, but at the moment when she was picked up by Su Yan, her completely relaxed spirit made her yawn, and then she closed her eyes peacefully and fell into a deep sleep.
Anna. Morality. Ingres.
Baron of the Border, Lord of the Grey Sands, Levi the Eagle. Morality. Ingres's daughter.
Regarding the relevant memories of this daughter, Su Yan searched through Levi's only surviving memories, but he couldn't find the relevant memories before the age of four, as if the blonde girl suddenly appeared in Levi's life out of thin air two years ago.
In addition, the memory of the girl's mother is also very vague.
Su Yan only knew that Lévy did have a wife—or rather, a wife, but that was before he became a border baron. The wife lived with him for two years, then suddenly disappeared one morning, and then Levi fell into depression for a long time, and finally became a frontier baron because of the northern expedition of the kingdom of Tria.
However, he is a baron, but his domain is the smallest of all the border nobles: there is only a stone castle and a village, and the whole territory has about 300 people, of which there are less than 100 young and middle-aged people, and the rest are women and children. There were no knights who were loyal to him, only a militia of about forty men that he had personally trained, and who were responsible for the daily guarding of the castle, the security of the village, and patrolling the territory.
In order to make it easier for the militia to carry out their tasks after receiving orders, Lévy chose the site of his stone fort on a dirt slope about an hour or so from the village.
And this also led to the fact that when Levi was attacked tonight, the entire village was also breached and destroyed.
The result was clear: the attackers wanted to create a massacre of Levi's territory.
Of course, as things stand, the attackers have succeeded.
Earl of the Frontier, Lévy. Morality. Ingres is indeed dead, and his realm has been completely destroyed.
The only survivor is probably Anna. Morality. Angel is up.
It's just that Su Yan still doesn't know how he ended up here.
In this world, he saw a lot of settings that were exactly the same as "Eternal": such as level, skills, rank, and so on. Even he himself brought his original template in "Eternity" with him. But on the contrary, he found that his physical appearance had changed to Levi. Morality. Ingres—or, rather, the younger version of Levy. Morality. Ingres, and judging from the map and some books he obtained in the stone castle, this world is not at all the eternal continent in "Eternity".
According to the books, this is a world called Drolla.
The entire Drolla world is composed of three main continents and countless islands and small islands, and the continents can only rely on long-distance ships and floating boats to move between continents. The three main continents are Azea, Far East, and Yerf.
Su Yan's location at this time was on the northern border called the Kingdom of Tria.
This kingdom is located at the southern tip of the Azea continent, and has been established for more than a thousand years, which can be regarded as the oldest kingdom on the Azea continent. Twenty years ago, at the behest of Tria XI, the Kingdom of Tria launched a northern expedition that stretched the northern border of the kingdom to the Blackstone Mountains. After that, a protracted war broke out with the Earth Spirit Clan in the Blackstone Mountains, and the Northern Expedition, which lasted for twenty years, was finally brought to an end due to the fact that the Earth Spirit Clan could not conquer the Blackstone Mountains in a short period of time, the increasing military spending at home, and the urgent need for stability in the newly conquered areas in the north.
Levy, who was Chinese New Year's Eve one year old at the time. Morality. Ingres, who had been fighting for ten years, became a baron in the North.
And then two years later, Anna was sent over.
A year later, last night, a group of unidentified assailants broke into Lévy's castle with the intention of kidnapping Anna. In this battle, not only was Lévy killed, but even the entire gray sand collar was completely burned to the ground.
Su Yan sighed softly, and couldn't help hugging Anna in his arms a little tighter.
He's not stupid, on the contrary, he's very smart, so he actually already has a concept in his heart about many things, but he still doesn't want to believe it.
But what he saw so far kept telling him that he had to believe it.
The entire stone castle was already densely packed with skeletons.
The bones of these skeletons even had a lot of scars, and the weapons in their hands were nothing more than various rusty iron knives and wooden shields, which looked tattered.
Skeleton soldiers like this can be played at least ten at a time in Eternity by any player who can get out of the novice village. If there is a player who breaks through the barrier of the master, this mere 300 skeleton soldiers is not enough for him to kill alone.
However, it was such a group of skeleton soldiers who could almost be said to be non-threatening in Su Yan's eyes, but they consumed a warrior who had broken through the master's barrier to death. Before he even had the two death warriors created through the Intermediate Undead Creation Technique join the battlefield, the four attackers had already been torn to shreds by the more than three hundred skeletons.
And the result that will lead to such a very contrasting result is because the middle-aged man who already has the title of master has not mastered the combat skills.
Su Yan didn't understand why, whether it was an individual phenomenon or a general phenomenon in this world.
If it's an individual phenomenon, then it can only mean that the other party is a parallel commodity - there are indeed many such players in the game.
But if it's a common phenomenon in this world......
Su Yan glanced at the dense list of skills on his skill bar, and then sighed softly again: "Probably I can go sideways." ”
Anna squirmed in her arms, as if she wanted to change her sleeping position.
Su Yan carefully helped Anna change to a sleeping position that made her feel comfortable, and then carefully wrapped the blanket again.
For the little girl in her arms, Su Yan's inner feelings were extremely complicated.
On the one hand, his subconscious is to protect this little girl at all costs, after all, it is a kind of intimacy connected by blood. But on the other hand, Su Yan knew that this girl was not his daughter, and he didn't even know who the other party's mother was.
But it is very subtle, but every time this girl calls her father, a sense of happiness will emerge in his heart.
"Damn happiness." Su Yan pursed his lips.
Despite the disdain on his face, he couldn't help but reach out and put the blanket on Anna's behalf, making sure the little girl wouldn't get cold from the cold wind in the north.
Su Yan didn't notice that when he was doing these actions, a smile of peace and happiness appeared on his face.
However, while arranging Anna's blanket, he found that Anne's hand was always clutching the hem of her dress.
This discovery made Su Yan silent for a long time.
After a long time, Su Yan finally let out a third sigh: "Alas. It's really embarrassing for such a young child, and the family is really ruined overnight. …… But judging from the current situation, they shouldn't let this little guy go. It seems that finding her mother as soon as possible is the right thing to do. ”
The next day, when the sun rose, the cold wind in the north finally subsided.
Anna muttered as she slumped, as if complaining about the hard bed or something.
But the next moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and at the same time let out an exclamation: "Dad! ”
"Good morning." Looking at the panicked little girl who hit her head on her chest because of the overreaction, Su Yan's face showed a hint of a smile, and she reached out to gently rub Anna's hair, the latter's eyes blinked and stared at Su Yan, until she was sure that it was not an illusion in front of her, she showed a happy smile.
"Good morning, Dad." Anna smiled sweetly.
"Well, let's prepare a little, although there was a lot of impact here last night, but food and some things to be used on the journey, you should still be able to find it." Su Yan put Anna in his arms on the ground.
"Journey?" The little guy tilted his head, "Where are we going?" Father. ”
"Yes." Su Yan nodded, "Take you to find ...... Your mom. ”
Hearing this, Anna's eyes brightened: "Looking for Mom?" All right! ”
Rubbing Anna's head gently, Su Yan spoke again: "So, do you remember the last time you saw your mother, where was it?" ”
This time, Anna did not show a happy look, but frowned, looking very distressed: "It's in a place with many trees. ”
Su Yan had an expression of "I knew it would be like this".
After all, two years ago, Anna was only two or three years old, and she had lived in a place like the forest for a long time, living in almost isolation, and naturally she could not be expected to remember too many things. Thinking of this, Su Yan probably understood why Anna's elf mother would send Anna out.
Obviously, he didn't want his half-elf daughter to be too detached from the human world.
Of course, there may also be another possibility.
Su Yan only hopes that it will not be the second possibility he guessed.
