Walking out of the house, Marin heard some small noises, and he turned his head to see a small squirrel in the grass.

Wait a minute, isn't this little squirrel the halfling's pet?

Marlin walked over, and the little squirrel saw Marlin and immediately blew up his hair, but it looked like it was injured and could only move on its two front legs, so it was lifted up by Marin.

"What's that?" The old Hoffman mentor who stopped his steps saw the small animal in Marlin's hand, and as a well-informed old man, he immediately recognized it as a spirit: "Spirit, Marlin, kill it." ”

"No, it's the halfling's apprentice's pet, and it has no owner." With that, Marin healed the little squirrel with the healing wounds in the blessing technique.

Healing, the little squirrel's teeth and claws stopped, and it seemed to finally recognize Marlin, the stranger with whom it had spoken to its owner.

The Spirit's far better intelligence than the average animal silenced it, and Marlin didn't know why it survived, because if the Spirit recognized a master, they would fight until the last moment for the master.

Maybe he was thrown out of the house by a halfling.

With this thought, Marin put it on the ground: "Let's go, your master is dead, go back to the wilderness and live well." With that, Marlin was about to walk to the carriage, but found the little squirrel with its head down, and it looked at the mansion, which was being cordoned off by the penalty.

Marin stopped, and at this time, thunder could be heard in the distance, and there was sometimes rain in the afternoon at Fort Kazhi in autumn.

Looking at the elf, Marin finally whistled at it.

When it looked up at itself, Marin smiled, "Come with me." ”

The little squirrel shook his head very humanely, and then chose to jump on the tree not far away without looking back, and disappeared after burrowing into the canopy.

Marin shook his head and returned to the carriage, where old Hoffman opened the door for him: "The little animal spirit, even if it once had an owner, it is also a spirit, don't expect it to be loyal to others, if you have the opportunity in the future, I can help you go to the mage tower to find a magic pet." ”

"Thank you, Mentor."

"Don't be polite to me, kid, when I think that the apprentice of the God of War Church of Ladder Eight died, and you, the apprentice of Ladder Ten, survived and was purified by the spirit that a girl in the base turned into, I feel that you have already fought for me this time." Old Hoffman pointed to the carriage after speaking: "Don't you sit in it?" ”

"No, mentor, I'd like to go."

"Well, come on, here's the umbrella, each of us has to face a lot of choices from birth to death, and everyone has to pay for their choices...... Be careful all the way, I have to ask people to find the missing second son, I don't want to add you to the missing list. With that, old Hoffman got into the carriage.

The convoy drove away from the mansion, and Marin walked down the sidewalk, his mind full of Sarah's last moves.

It's just that because of a message that didn't arrive, these young people in their prime are all dead, and the world uses life and death to verify everyone's fate, which makes Marin very uncomfortable.

Because he found that the world was so dangerous, there had never been a day that stimulated Marlin to become stronger than today.

He has to become stronger, the stronger the better, because he wants to save himself, he wants to save people, Maya, Faye, they are all his relatives and friends in this world, and he doesn't want to lose this hard-won best friend and relative.

The thunder sounded again, the rain began to fall, Marin held an umbrella, and walked on the street where there were fewer pedestrians because of the rain,

After walking for a while, Marin, who felt that there was no place to go, decided to go back to the church to find his sister to ask for barbecue to eat, and even with today's rain, there could be no nighttime bonfire.

So I walked around the corner of the street and happened to see a few policemen's carriages and a bunch of policemen carrying something out of the alley.

Out of curiosity, Marin walked over.

Then he was recognized by a policeman with this cloak: "Your Excellency, are you from the Church of the Goddess of Harvest?" ”

"Yes, what's the matter?" Seeing that the middle-aged man made a blessing gesture that a devout person should do, Marin followed suit: "Is there something wrong, parishioners?" ”

"That's right, we just brought out a deceased person from a small alley, which, according to a colleague at the intersection on the other side, was your church."

Marin froze for a moment, and then subconsciously felt that there were so many coincidences in this world, until he saw the miserable white face of the second son of the Domingo family.

How can this unfortunate thing be all put on the table.

………………

Without the idea of walking back, Marin followed the gentlemen from the police station back to the church, and as soon as he entered the hall, he heard the old bishop of the God of War church arguing with old Hoffman.

Seeing Marin coming in, old Hoffman smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Didn't you say you were going to go, it's too early to come back." ”

"That's this kid! I gave him a team of apprentices! They're all dead, but he's all right! Are you trying to hide something, old thing! As soon as the old bishop saw Marin, he exploded: "Give him a holy detection!" ”

"I've found the second son of the Domingo family, he died in a police-controlled alley, mentor, do you need to meet the police gentlemen." Marin didn't take the old guy's warning as a threat at all.

"You see, there are people on my side who have died, he is the second son of the earl, the eldest brother has no heirs, if the eldest brother dies, it will be his turn to sit in that position, I believe that he is not inferior to the prince's seventeenth daughter."

This sentence is reasonable - after all, no matter how much the seventeenth daughter of the prince is, there is no way to compare with the second son of a powerful earl, who is really the first heir in line as soon as the eldest brother dies.

So the old bishop of the God of War Guild stopped arguing, and after listening to the police's briefing, this one began to worry about a question - who killed his second son.

But before they could come up with a reason, there was new news over there, the eldest son of the Domingo family had just been assassinated in the street, the murderer was very old-fashioned, using the crowd as a cover, from the victim's waist under the knife, a blow to break away, the eldest son covered the wound for a long time without shouting a word, it should have hurt the lungs, so before he could say a word, he died on the street.

So the old man completely stopped the previous war of words, and began to quarrel over who was responsible for this serial murder - the eldest son of the Domingo family is a believer in the Church of the God of War, and his younger brother is the agent of the Harvest Church.

But all this really had nothing to do with Marin, he patted his leg and prepared to go back to the room to find Maya.

"Where are you going?!" Old Hoffman and the old bishop shouted in unison.

"Go and rest." Marin replied, looking back.

The two old men immediately turned around and began to argue again, but this time it was different from the previous conversation.

"I call my apprentice, what's the matter with you?!"

"What's my name! An apprentice like him gives you the Harvest Goddess Church, that's a pearl secret cast! ”

"Get out of here!"

Marin really didn't want to see the well-dressed old man in front of the two of them scolding the street like a shrew.

………………

Marin had rented a small room in the small block behind the church to live with his sister Maya while his adoptive father was away from work, so when he opened the door today, he saw Maya and Faye working at the barbecue.

Seeing Marin come back, the two girls smiled very happily: "Welcome back!" Did the work go well today. ”

Marin thought for a moment - well, chopping some Chaos, a living corpse bride, and some messy unlucky guys: "Okay." ”

Maya didn't see it, Faye pursed his mouth, handed the skewer in his hand to Maya, and then walked over: "Marin, what's wrong." ”

"Some of my peers who I just met died, and some ...... Indescribable feelings. In front of Faye, a clever little ghost, Marin didn't show that he was lying about seeing a ghost during the day, he just finished the whole thing very smoothly.

Faye smiled and reached out to hug Marin from behind.

"Don't be afraid, I'll love you."

"Pull it down, if you become a living bride, your parents will not kill me, so for everyone's good, I will definitely protect you." Marin smiled and shook her hand.

"I'm not going to be that kind of monster." Saya snorted, and then let go of his hand: "It's raining today, there is no show at night, what do you want to eat, Maya and I will make it for you." After the girl finished speaking, she smiled at Marin, which made Marin very happy, and made him want to protect the girl in front of him even more.

"I want to have a barbecue, let's eat a barbecue tonight." Marin took off his coat, hung it on a hanger, and then went into the kitchen and looked at the girls: "I'm here to help." ”

"That's great." Maya was very happy, and then came to Marin's side: "Brother, let's go dance again tomorrow." ”

"No problem, dear sister." Marin smiled and reached out and patted Maya's head.

At this moment, Marin even had a small extravagance, hoping that this moment would last forever.

But...... Every day is a new day, and every day is a beautiful day for him and the two girls.

That's the best choice.

Thinking of this, Marin noticed the smile and flush on Faye's face, and he reached out and touched the girl's forehead, and found that there was no fever as he thought.

"What's wrong with you, I thought you were sick."

"It's nothing, it's just that you're back safe and sound, and the emotional drama between Mr. Sherlock and Miss Jane Moriarty can go on again."

The girl said excitedly.

This made Marin pause for a moment, then shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, Faye, the novel we wrote will continue." ”

What an interesting girl.
