The knights' ranks had long since disappeared at the end of the street, and the environment outside was getting worse, and the wind could be heard howling from the window. Tom scolded and added a lot of charcoal, and the flames in the fireplace grew more and more vigorous, turning from orange to a deep crimson, and the charcoal crackled and exploded. After everyone watched the excitement, they were ready to get drunk; Maylis, the little one, had fallen asleep leaning on the truth, breathing shallowly, and was still on the run a while ago.

However, this comfortable and warm air gradually uneasy the truth, and her whole body suddenly trembled uncontrollably, and she tried to forcibly suppress the trembling, for fear of waking Maylis, but it did not work at all, and fortunately Maylis was sleeping soundly.

Her heart was beating faster, and the Rasheng pattern kept flickering in her mind, and she had to repeatedly recall the terrible picture she had just seen, and at this time, in her eyes, everything around her seemed to be squirming towards her, and their faces were hideous, like evil ghosts.

Truth patted her face, felt clearer, and gradually the world in her eyes returned to normal, this time she was soberly aware that there was a mysterious force oppressing her, not the oppression of strength, this oppression came from the spirit, like carrying an invisible boulder, which made people tired and bored, indescribable, but real.

"It's fine." Truth turned around and patted Maylis on the head, and when he saw the worry in her eyes, he couldn't help but laugh, thinking that this girl really couldn't hide her emotions.

"Uncle Tom, Maylis will be here for a while, and if I don't come back when it's dark, help me get her home." Truth jumped off the table, tightened her clothes, and walked out like outside, Maylis looked dazed.

Tom put down the cup he was wiping, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he raised his head: "You know, it's been a strange day lately, it's dark before I'm sleepy, where are you going to leave your sister at this time?" Maylis's eyes widened as well, curiosity written all over her face.

The truth is not intended to be hidden: "I want to follow and see." ”

After a few seconds of silence, Tom asked sharply, "What are you going to do with you?" They must have gone back to the temple, didn't you just listen to it, many people disappeared in the center of the city. ”

Truth forced a smile: "I don't know, I just want to go over and see, I've grown so big, I've never seen this kind of formation, and I'm not an ordinary person." She waved her explosive pepper bomb.

"You don't look right, but I won't stop you, don't worry, this little girl will be safe, no one dares not to give me face as a dragon slaying hero, except for Mera, of course." Tom patted his chest in reassurance, and when he returned to the counter, he pulled out a black cloak and threw a dagger at the truth. Forget the cloak, God knows what he usually prepares a dagger for a tavern owner, and it won't be used to cut barbecue.

Every night, Tom would set up a grill in the kitchen and put the various meat skewers on it, and the smoke would billowing down the pipes, and the smell of the barbecue would overflow, and when it was served, the guests would turn into hungry wolves. Truth had seen this kind of scene, it was Mera who brought them here, and even the witch and potion master who was immersed in experiments would remember the birthdays of their granddaughters. Mera insisted on putting the two girls' birthdays on the same day, claiming that they were born on the same day, and the truth understood that she only wanted to save half of the money.

On the first birthday of the night sea, they were taken to the tavern, which was unbelievable to the truth, a bunch of big men drank bare-armed, their faces were flushed, and the wrench of the fighting song was all available, Mela seemed to have known Tom for a long time, and she was not polite to him when she came, and reached out and took a few bottles of the most expensive wine, and the truth was so frightened that she was about to cry, and she was looking forward to the cake for a long time, and immediately angrily wanted to pull her away, let the old woman drink it by herself, but before she could go out of the door, a burst of fragrance dragged her heels.

It was a time when Truth rarely felt that Mera was reliable, and Maylis finally had a happy birthday.

The black cloak was in her hands, and the truth found that it was a little heavier than she could have imagined, and she unfolded it and draped it on her body, and unexpectedly found that it fit well, and it felt a little rough to the touch, I don't know what material it was.

"Put it away for now, the temperature will continue to drop later, that dagger...... You're right, it's a coincidence that I'm going to change it, so keep it too, it's better than nothing. ”

“...... Thanks" Truth looked back at Maylis, the door creaked softly, and the girl stepped into the cold wind, and no one noticed her sudden departure.

......

"Come out, it's time for us to talk, Mela." After a long time, Tom said suddenly.

A sharp sneer reached Tom's ears, and Mera came out of nowhere, the same great wizard hat, large purple robe, her face was thin, and her smile looked hideous, and Maylis was already carried in her hand.

"Mera, you're going to have to put her through this now, it's too early, I'm going to tell you a few times, she's still a child, she's ......"

"The truth has grown up, Tom, and now that we've met this time, there's no need to hide anymore, her reaction to that force has been so obvious that none of us expected it." Mera interrupted him with a wave of her hand.

Tom lowered his voice, but made no secret of his anger: "We have words first. ”

"Yes, there are words first, but someone has already broken the agreement, he betrayed us, betrayed everyone, from that moment on, the previous agreement was nonsense, do you understand?"

The rain came so suddenly, people were caught off guard, and in such cold weather, the lake would soon condense. A group of people burst into the tavern and yelled at the damn weather.

The two stared at each other, neither of them spoke, and the tense atmosphere made the originally warm tavern seem to be filled with a breath of frost.

Finally, Mera sighed: "I heard that before I came, you had a good life here, did you consider giving up, those things have to do with you, but in the end, how much does it matter, no matter how many people die, you are not okay, no one knows about your existence, and no one will trouble you, drink every day, not to mention that your wine here tastes good, and as soon as your eyes are opened, it will be over." ”

"You don't have to test me, my determination is no better than yours, just for us, it is very likely that an innocent girl will be involved, would you like to see it?"

"Not for us." Mera's cloudy gaze gradually cleared: "I am not a saint, I will not say anything righteous, I only know that if you make a mistake, you should be punished, and everyone should pay for their stupidity, even the king." ”

Mera turned around and left, and as soon as the cold rain approached her, it instantly turned into steam, and the steam swirled, and there seemed to be an invisible wall of heat around her and Maylis, keeping all the cold out.
