Chapter 16: Romeona Returns

Barrick agrees to Lunaka's request and adopts Rei - of course, what Rei hears is a version of herself being hired by a merchant, not adopted. Although there are still many doubts, because the conditions given by Barrick are very good, it is so good that even if she still has something to worry about, she can't refuse. In fact, Barrick's treatment is not so exaggerated, compared with ordinary child labor, Barrick has no intention of squeezing Lei. But that kind of condition is good enough for Rei.

Rey followed Barrick away. She didn't stay with Lulunaka for long, so naturally she didn't have anything to be attached to, but Julius looked a little reluctant, but she was smashed on the stomach by Lei's small fist, laughing at him, "How do you look like a girl, am I a woman, or are you a woman." ”

Julius didn't say anything after that, and watched Rei leave. Julius is actually just a little worried, not because of Lei's departure, going to the port is not different from going to the rat road, maybe the port is safer, he is very happy that Lei can live on the ground.

"If you are so reluctant, you should also go to the docks to work as a coolie. Lulunaka smiled at Julius, who didn't answer the question and reached out to Lulunaka, "I don't have a weapon." He said to her.

Lulunaka was standing at the top of her mobile workshop, stirring the boiling liquid, and when she saw Julius below, she stopped what she was doing, "Are you asking me for money to buy weapons? I remember you have a little savings, right? and reached out to ask me for money, is it too much, am I your mother?"

"Those weapons bought out there are okay to use, but if I really have to deal with something like a demon, I might die next time. Julius said, "I want a good weapon...... Or you give me the cross-sword. Julius said this with a straight face, looking directly at Lunaka without showing any timidity.

Looking at the serious Julius, Lulunaka didn't laugh at him, and then showed a thoughtful expression, "It's true that ordinary weapons can't deal with demons, and you're lucky enough to meet someone who can't learn your art and almost dies...... I really need to get you another weapon. But don't think about the cross sword, take that kind of weapon to swagger through the market, in case you meet someone who knows the goods, you will bring the trouble back. You are not allowed to use the Cross Sword in this King's Castle. ”

Lulunaka refused to give him back the Cross Sword, but since she said she wanted a new weapon for herself, Julius was satisfied—and he could save some money.

"But if you want a new weapon, you can do the work for me first. Lulunaka waved at Julius like a mosquito to chase him away, "Go to Pasta and see what he has to do now, and help him get it done." If you can sell some goods and make a lot of money back, then it's even better. ”

After Julius happily leaves, Lulunaka continues her work of stirring the liquid herself. "Slay the Demon...... Why is he becoming more and more like someone, and he didn't think about cultivating him into this type of warrior in the first place. Lulunaka muttered to herself. She felt that she should be nervous, but she had just killed a demon, and if she wanted to compare it to that fool, it was far worse, and her personality was not the same at all.

Lulunaka couldn't help but laugh, she thought she really had allergies, but it also proved that she hated someone from the bottom of her heart, and didn't want Julius to be like that.

While Lulunaka was busy, on the other half of the city wall, a convoy entered the city. Carrying a broken sword on her back, she wrapped herself like a girl with a zongzi and finally returned to her hometown. It's only been about a year since she left, and she feels like she hasn't been back for a long time, everything has changed, and even the gate that came in is the one who left in the first place, but her memory of all this has become a little blurry.

The convoy had a permit document, and it didn't take much time to pass, and the girl sitting in the carriage at the back didn't attract much attention, and now in this season, there are many women dressed like this to keep out the cold. The girl didn't think that anyone would remember her, she was already dead, and even if someone remembered her, they would probably look at her as a similar person.

A person like Romeona was already a dead person in the King's Castle, and even if she continued to use this name, no one would have thought that the person in front of her had been a noble lady, even if it was an illegitimate child.

Romeona has finally returned to the King's Castle.

The convoy continued on its way to the bustling part of the city, and Romeona was behind, pulling out something and holding it in his hand. It was a small compass, but the needle was not pointing north, but somewhere. She looked in the direction the pointer was not the same as the way the convoy was heading - she thought it was time to say goodbye, but she had no intention of saying goodbye to the owner of the convoy before leaving.

The middle-aged man who could occasionally talk to Romeona probably sensed something, and said to Romeona, "You're leaving?"

"It's time to leave, I'm going to find someone I know. "Just say goodbye to your employer, and I'm not going to say goodbye in person." ”

"You hate to be retained, don't you?" said the middle-aged man with a smile, "The boss is like that, he feels that he owes a favor, and then he will try to keep you with a favor." ”

"It's impossible. Romeona refused directly, "So I'd better just leave." ”

Romeona jumped out of the carriage and stood still. The middle-aged man asked, "Which church can I go to to see you?" The middle-aged people really seem to think of Romeona as an ascetic, and perhaps a somewhat strange nun, because Romeona sometimes says something very mysterious—but that's what she learned from the theological books Lulunaka gave her.

"No matter where you are, you probably won't see me. ”

"It's not a nun. The middle-aged man's tone was a little regretful, but he didn't care too much. He turned and followed the carriage and waved his hand at Romeona, "Well, there will be a time later, lady of asceticism." ”

The middle-aged man followed the carriage away, and Romeo Ona was still standing there, "I'm too early to be the lady's age. Romeona whispered. Probably because she hid herself too tightly and was considered an adult woman, Romeo didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

To some, she's just a child.

With a compass in her hand, she walked in the direction of the pointer.
