Chapter 4: The Girl Who Explored

"Raphael! Raphael! ”

A pleasing voice rang out in front of a delicate log cabin, and the voice was full of excitement. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Joanna, don't shout so loudly, I've heard you."

Raphael opened the door from inside the house and complained helplessly to Joanna, who was standing outside the courtyard, that every time the girl came to him for something, she was so loud that half the village could hear her.

"Raphael, you come out first!" Joanna didn't pay any attention to Raphael's complaints, and still shouted with a big grin.

"Alright, okay, I'll get some clothes." Raphael grabbed his hair helplessly, he really couldn't refuse Joanna.

Raphael's family and Joanna's family have always had a good relationship, and when Rhodes moved to the village with his pregnant wife, Raphael's parents reached out to help the couple, so that Rod, who was new to the country, was always grateful to Raphael's parents.

When Joanna's mother died and left Joanna who was not yet a year old, it was Raphael's mother who reached out to Rhodes who was at a loss and took the initiative to take Joanna into her arms to raise her, so that Joanna's childhood was not miserable because of the loss of her mother.

Since Raphael has a memory, because Rod's father is busy and takes care of Joanna's life is rougher, this younger sister, who is only half a year younger than himself, has been living with him since she was a child, so Raphael really treats this girl, who has been more boyish since she was a child, as her own sister.

After adding a coat, Raphael walked through the small courtyard to Joanna, looking at Joanna helplessly as he walked, "What's the matter, what makes you so excited?" ”

"Raphael, you know what!" Before Raphael could stop in front of her, Joanna pulled Raphael by, "Uncle March said he saw a unicorn in the woods to the south!" ”

Raphael's first reaction when he heard what Joanna said was not to believe it, the unicorn is either called a unicorn or a Pegasus, anyway, the legend is a creature created by the moon god Phoebes, only the elves were given this creature by Phoebes, even in the elven kingdom, only the royal family and those legendary powerhouses have the qualifications to communicate with the unicorns in the moonlight forest to obtain their consent, and they can have such a mount.

So when a unicorn appeared in a small forest near the village, Raphael's first instinct was to touch Joanna's forehead to see if the little girl had a fever and was talking nonsense.

Raphael dared to move his arm as soon as Joanna knew what she wanted to do, and slapped Raphael with a dissatisfied face, "Why don't you believe what I say, and I heard about it from Uncle March, who told him about it in the village when he came back at noon." ”

Raphael shook his head and still didn't believe it, "Then maybe Uncle Raphael is wrong, maybe it's just a deer." ”

"Hmph, I knew you would say that." The girl's mouth pursed slightly, and she looked coquettish.

"I don't care if Uncle March is wrong, Raphael, you have to accompany me to the forest, I'm going to find a unicorn!"

Raphael suddenly felt a pain in his head, and rubbed his brows helplessly, "Joanna, don't make trouble, we are still too young, it is not safe to go to the forest." And even Uncle March, as the deputy captain of the militia, did not dare to go deep into the forest, we could not go. ”

"Hmph, Raphael, you are too timid, I have been asked by my father to practice martial arts since I was a child, I am not afraid, I will ask you if you will accompany me!"

Looking at the girl's bulging little face, Raphael felt that he had a headache to death, he knew very well that the girl was a character who said everything, and if it was said well, it was called strong-willedness, and if it was ugly, it was called stubbornness and brainlessness.

"Joanna, it's too dangerous for just the two of us, and noon is almost over now, and it's afternoon when we get to the forest, it's too late, it's not safe."

When Raphael saw the girl stubbornly clasping her hands and ignoring herself, he knew that Joanna's personality was on top again. If she didn't agree to accompany her, Joanna would definitely run to the forest alone to find the unicorn that couldn't exist.

After pressing his temples irritably, knowing that he had no way to persuade Joanna to abandon the idea of going to the forest, Raphael reluctantly pulled Joanna's body for Joanna's safety, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

"Raphael is the best!" Hearing Raphael promise to go with her, Joanna jumped on the ground with a cheer.

"But let's talk about it first, whether we find the so-called unicorn or not, once the sun turns west, close to dusk, we must come back, and the wild at night is too dangerous for us."

Raphael reached out and pressed Joanna's shoulder, and said the premise that he would accompany her to the forest, otherwise this energetic little aunt might not come back when the time came.

"Well...... Joanna looked down for a moment, looked up and smiled and agreed to Raphael's request. She was not a fool or even very smart, she understood very well that the reason why Raphael agreed to go with her was simply because she was worried about her own safety, and Joanna also knew that it was already very risky to go to the forest with her own strength, and as for the adventure in the forest shrouded in darkness, she was still very young and did not live enough.

Now that she knows why she still wants to go on adventures, Joanna just likes to be adventurous, and it's normal for young people to be impulsive. But it was also because she knew that Raphael took care of herself very well and would definitely accompany her, so she would come to Raphael, after all, it was safer for the two of them to go.

Seeing that Joanna agreed to her request, Raphael breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, just like Joanna knows herself very well, and often pulls herself to do some risky things when she knows that she knows very well, Raphael knows that as long as Joanna should do what she should do since she was a child, this little girl will definitely abide by it and ensure that the agreement is completed.

"Then you go back and get your weapons, food and water, even the forest is a bit dangerous for us during the day."

"Hmm." Now that Joanna had received Raphael's promise to accompany her on an expedition to the forest, a bright smile spread across the little girl's face, "I've been ready for a long time." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl picked up a small bag from the wooden fence in the courtyard, which was bulging with food and water.

"Look, food and water, I've got some medicine in the bag." Joanna boasted about the pouch in her hand, and picked up a long sword from the fence and held it in her hand, "I even have a weapon ready." ”

Looking at Joanna's well-equipped appearance, the corners of Raphael's mouth pulled a wry smile, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, this Joanna knew that she wouldn't let her go out alone, and she would definitely agree to go with her, so she had prepared these things a long time ago.

"Since you're all set, I'll just go get a sword." Without saying anything more, Raphael could only put the reality of his pit to the back of his mind, turned back to the house and took the long sword forged for him by Joanna's father, Rod.

"Let's go." Changing into clothes that are convenient for movement, Raphael, who took the long sword, did not waste time, and walked to Joanna's side and signaled that he could go, after all, the sooner he got to the edge of the forest, the more time he had, and Joanna in the province was not happy enough in the end, shouting that he would come back tomorrow.

After glancing at the two of them and seeing that nothing had been left behind, Joanna nodded and followed Raphael out of the village.

After all, under the teaching of her father, who struggled to climb out of the battlefield since she was a child, Joanna still attaches more importance to her own safety, but she likes to explore and doesn't like to play pretend games with those peers in the village, so she will run around with Raphael all day long.
