"That's true. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]"

Marlon didn't know why Althea asked him this, and he didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only answer honestly.

"Woo...... If...... If I had met Marlon earlier, maybe my mother wouldn't have ......."

Although Althea did not confirm Marlon's words, she instinctively chose to believe in her sweetheart, which made her feel even more sad, forgetting that when her mother died, Marlon was just a bare-fart/villain child.

Looking at the sad Althea, Malone hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hands and gently took her into his arms.

Malone doesn't know why he did it, but it's almost instinctive; Althea didn't make any resistance, she snuggled obediently into Marlon's arms, crystal tears wiping her chest on Marlon's newly changed clothes.

After crying for a while, Althea stopped, and she straightened up with Marlon's strong chest, and then lowered her head with a red face and said nothing.

"Ahem, Althea, I ...... just now"

Ma Long hurriedly explained--he felt that his behavior just now seemed to be a bit of a danger to others.

"No, it's not, blame me, I just ......"

Almost at the same time, Althea also spoke in a panic, and found that she was arguing with Marlon, and the girl quickly closed her mouth tightly.

This inexplicable tacit understanding disrupted Marlon's plan, and so did Althea, and both of them fell silent again.

"I ...... Let's go? I...... I'm going to train too! ”

It was Althea who spoke first.

"Okay."

Malone nodded, turned around and was about to leave.

"Marlon ......"

At this moment, Althea suddenly grabbed Marlon's hand and whispered.

"What's wrong?"

Ma Long hurriedly stopped, turned around and asked.

"No, it's nothing, let's go!"

Who knows, Althea just gently squeezed Marlon's palm, let go of him, and then ran out of the room before him.

"Hey, Althea, slow down!"

Marlon chased after him with some nervousness, reminding Althea not to fall as he ran.

……

"Huh? Sister Vera, and Maria...... What are you doing here? ”

As soon as Althea ran out of the town hall, she saw Vera's mother and daughter standing not far away, so she walked over and asked curiously.

"We ...... Althea, what's wrong with you? Crying? ”

Vera blushed and replied with some embarrassment, suddenly noticing the tears on Althea's face and red eyes, and hurriedly left her own business and asked.

"I ...... I'm fine. ”

Althea was stunned for a moment, then wiped her face again, shook her head, and said.

"Oh...... I'm here for Sir Lothar...... Do you know he's there? ”

Seeing that Althea didn't want to speak, Vera hesitated for a moment, so she didn't continue to investigate, but changed the topic.

"I'm here. Vera, do you have something to do with me? ”

Marlon caught up from behind Althea and walked up to Vera.

"Malone!"

Maria cried out - the little girl had eaten her breakfast a little full, and she did not want to move by her mother's side, and did not even run to play with Rubos, who was crouching on the side.

"Maria, how can you call Sir Lothar that?"

Vera was going to put a stop to her daughter's rude behavior.

"It's okay, I'll tell Maria, just let her shout like that."

Marlon saw that Maria was about to be scolded, and hurriedly helped the little girl to relieve the way.

"Malone, Uncle Richard is calling me over there, I'll go first!"

Althea was standing beside Marlon, and suddenly saw the bearded Richard waving at her from afar, so she said to Marlon.

"Okay, I got it...... But don't be late for a while! ”

Malone replied with a smile.

"I'm not going to be late!"

Althea muttered discontentedly, then ran to the bearded Richard's side.

"Alright, Vera, what are you looking for me?"

After Althea left, Malone asked.

"Althea she ...... What happened just now? I think she looks like she's crying......"

Vera whispered - if it were someone else, Vera might think he was bullying Althea; However, she didn't think Malone would be such a person, so she asked.

"When Daddy Erro was talking just now, he mentioned Althea's mother, and she ...... Died very early, so ......"

Malone also replied in a low voice.

"That's ...... so"

Vera nodded, feeling a little sad in her heart - she didn't expect such a lively girl as Althea to have such a sad experience.

"What else? You're only looking for me for Althea's business? ”

Malone asked again.

"Yes...... No...... Well...... I would like to ask Sir Lothar about you...... Those few clothes...... It doesn't fit. ”

Vera blushed and whispered with her head down.

"Clothes? Oh good, it's just ......."

Marlon hurriedly replied, but stopped halfway through his words.

"Just what?"

Vera looked up and asked quizzically.

"Hmm...... It's okay, forget it. Anyway, thank you Vera. ”

Marlon shook his head, and his face was a little confused - he was always embarrassed to tell Vera that the underwear/pants she found in the house were a little tight on his crotch, right?

"That's right...... Then I have nothing else to do, Sir Lothar, you are busy, ...... in the evening When you go back in the evening, you can change your clothes and give it to me, and I will wash it for you. ”

Vera saw Marlon's appearance, and although she felt strange, she didn't say much, just asked.

"Huh? How embarrassing is that......

Ma Long hurriedly excused himself.

"It's okay, I'm used to doing housework for a long time...... See you then, Sir Lothar! ”

Vera said with a smile, and after asking her daughter to say goodbye to Marlon, she turned around and left with Maria.

Looking at the backs of the mother and daughter, Malone was stunned for a moment, and then took Rubos, who ran to his side to spread joy, and walked towards the strong men who had been assembled in the center of the town.

……

"Chief Lothar, there are ninety of them, all here."

Seeing Malone coming over, Robin hurriedly greeted him and said.

"Hmm...... What do you think of these people? ”

Malone nodded, then asked.

"How? Hard...... Now it looks like it was when Paul and I started out, but no one knows what the end result will be until we walk around the battlefield. ”

Robin understood what Malone meant, shook his head and said--It's easy to train an army, but it's not easy to train an army that can fight the orcs head-on. xh118
