Chapter 11: Bravery

The setting sun once dyed the town a golden veil.

In a clearing in the town, teenage boys kick a straw ball, and they run around, fighting for control of it.

Next to the clearing, two good-looking girls sat and chatted as the boys played football.

The two looked to be about the same age, one of them had beautiful long pink silky hair, and the other had long dark green hair.

"Millie, I've heard some people in the town say that Mr. George is an Imperial nobleman, and they say that only pure-blood nobles of the Empire have black hair and eyes." The little girl with beautiful pink hair asked.

Millie, with dark green hair, said, "I don't know, George didn't tell me about it. ”

The pink-haired girl stretched, then put her hands on her cheeks and put her arms on her knees to look at the sunset in the distance.

She asked, "Then what is the relationship between Millie and Mr. George?" Some people in the town say that you are Mr. George's daughter, and some people say that Mr. George is your second uncle, and he ...... Is it that old? ”

Millie covered her mouth and grinned, "Of course not, George just turned thirty this year, and he said that Millie is his...... Close relatives. ”

"Relatives...... "The pink-haired girl whispered the word slowly, her eyes shining with envy as she looked at the sunset.

Millie also learned the posture of the pink-haired girl next to her, she held her cheeks with her hands, looked at the beautiful sunset slowly falling, and exclaimed, "The sunset is so beautiful." ”

"yes, that's why I'm here a lot of time watching the sun go down." The pink-haired girl replied, "Millie, what kind of person is Mr. George?" ”

Millie thought for a moment and said, "George, he's a tall and strong, righteous and brave, with a great sense of humor...... Mature and considerate, wealthy and erudite man.

Millie frowned and thought for a moment, then added, "Ah! I forgot, there's also handsome and handsome, no, there seems to be something else...... I can't remember. ”

Millie frowned, a little annoyed that she couldn't remember.

If George had been here, he would have blushed and his jaw dropped.

Yes, these words were all said by him and Millie, but what he told Millie at the time was that when he introduced him to others, he would just pick up a few and tell others about it, but who would have thought that Millie, a little girl, had such a good memory, and said a lot of words.

The pink-haired girl next to her laughed softly after listening to Millie's somewhat stumbling introduction: "George is so perfect in your eyes, then he must be very good to you." ”

"Yes, George is everything to Millie." Millie said with a smile.

Seeing that the sun was gradually setting, the boys who had been playing football in the open space stopped and walked in the direction of each house.

One of the bald teenagers scratched his head, and walked over to the pink-haired girl with a look of embarrassment, and said, "Mona, just Parker said that your father drank too much today, or you should go tonight...... Go to my house. ”

Hearing the bald boy's words, the pink-haired, girl called Mona by the boy instantly became depressed, and she said, "Thank you, Robben, I'm ...... I'd better go back to my own home. ”

"But what if your dad beats you again today?"

"No, no, it's not early, you can go home for dinner, I'll send Millie back first and then go home." Mona looked at Millie and said.

The bald boy hesitated, and then said, "Okay, then I'll go home first, I'll wait outside your house after dinner, if he dares to beat you, I'll ...... I'll protect you. ”

After saying that, the bald boy rushed home.

"Let's go, Millie, I'll take you back to the tavern." Monna said, taking Millie's hand.

Millie nodded, and followed Mona back to the tavern.

The two of them were quiet all the way, they didn't speak, looking at Mona, who was depressed, and although Millie had questions in her heart, she didn't know how to speak.

She remembered what George had taught her to do with her friends: when your friend is in trouble and you don't know how to speak for a while, be silent with her.

Halfway through, Millie and Mona are stopped by several guards in leather armor.

A red-nosed guard wiped his snot with his sleeve, then opened his large mouth full of yellow teeth and asked in a loud voice, "Stop! Pink-haired little girl, are you the daughter of that rotten gambler, Mona Cyrus? ”

"I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person." Mona lowered her head and pulled Millie to the side.

But her other arm was grabbed by the red-nosed guard.

The red-nosed guard laughed loudly and recklessly: "Haha! I think you are, your good dad has sold you to the mayor today, and he says you've been hanging out with a green-haired girl lately. Hey! Well, will you go by yourself, or will our brothers carry you with you? ”

"Let go! I'll go on my own. Mona jerked back her grabbed arm, then turned to Millie and whispered, "Millie, I'm sorry, I can only send you here, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”

"Mona, they ......"

Before Millie could finish speaking, Red Nose tugged at Mona's arm and said, "Don't talk nonsense, come with us, it's too late to delay the brothers from drinking." ”

Mona's face turned red, and she tried hard to get rid of it, but how could her little girl's strength be compared to Red Nose, and she was dragged all the way by Red Nose.

Millie watched with some anxiety as Mona was taken away by several guards, feeling that she had to do something about it, or she might be hurt.

She took out the invisibility cloak that George had given her from her bag and wrapped it up, and when she was completely invisible, she quietly followed the guards and Mona.

Along the way, Millie saw that Mona had tears in her eyes all the time, and Mona didn't cry out loud, but from time to time she would wipe away the overflowing tears with her sleeve, and just walked stubbornly like that.

Seeing Mona like this, Millie's heart is not happy, which reminds her of her experience before she met George, and she often wipes away her tears in a dim corner, this feeling of loneliness and sadness makes her still imprinted with her heart and amnesia.

Gradually, Millie's eyes were also a little foggy.

"I'll save you, Mona!" Millie touched the mist in her eyes and said firmly.

The sky was already a little dark, and the moon was out of silhouette.

Along the way, Millie has been following the guards and Mona without danger with the help of the invisibility cloak.

At this time, Mona was tied with a rope to a chair in the yard of the mayor's backyard, and her mouth was also gagged with a white cloth.

The guards took the mayor's tip and left happily.

The mayor of the town appeared to be a gray-haired and kind old man, dressed plainly but well-dressed.

He slowly walked up to the tied Menna, and said with a hint of sadness and helplessness on his face: "I'm sorry, little girl, please don't blame my son, if you want to blame my useless father." ”

"Daddy, why waste time with tiny mortals, hurry up, I'm so hungry that I'm losing my mind."

As the man's hoarse voice rang out, a scaly humanoid creature with a scaly tail and a lizard-like head and head slowly appeared next to the mayor.

Apparently this guy has just been invisible like Millie.

"Hmm~hmm..."Mona was frightened by the sudden appearance of the strange man and began to struggle violently, but she was a little girl with no special ability, how could she break free, she couldn't even make a cry for help, everything was in vain.

"Hurry up! Father, I can't control myself anymore. The lizardman opened his bloody mouth, his long, forked tongue whirling back and forth over a large mouth full of sharp teeth.

Urged by the lizardmen, Mayor Mare knelt down on one knee and cried Mona, and he took out a dagger and placed it in the palm of Mona's hand.

"I'm sorry, little girl, tomorrow I will tell the people in the town that you attacked me and was killed by my backhand, and after you die, your father will get another sum of money."

With that, Mayor Mare's hand squeezed Mona's hand with a hard grip, and then slammed his shoulder into the dagger, and the dagger stabbed into his shoulder, and in a few moments blood stained his entire right shoulder.

"I'm sorry, my wounds should be atonement for my son, I hope to offset some of your resentment."

The mayor staggered to the side and sat on the ground with the dagger on his shoulder. He looked down at the ground, unable to bear to see his son's cruelty next.

"What a boring move, hiss~ What a beautiful face, what a pity. Hiss~ What a ...... Rejoice!. The lizardman cupped Mona's tearful head in both hands, and his forked tongue shook the sweet tooth twice from Mona's face.

Mona's face was covered with tears of despair, and she closed her eyes, not daring to look at the lizardman's hideous appearance, not expecting that her painful life would end like this.

"Stop!" At the critical moment, Millie pulls her cloak and reveals herself. She was scared, but she couldn't stand idly by, or her only friend would die.

George used to say to her, "Millie, don't be afraid, be brave...... Some people may not be brave enough, but they make brave decisions when it matters most. ”

She had always been timid before, so she didn't understand much. But at this moment, seeing her friend in danger, although she is still timid, she is no longer afraid, and she just wants to help Mona's determination.

What's more, there are three cards that George gave her in times of crisis, and George said that if she is in danger, she can use those three cards.

The lizardman turned his head to look at Millie, who suddenly appeared, and he grinned: "Hiss~ Today is really a good day, since you are in such a hurry, then I will eat you first!" ”

The lizardmen pounce on Millie, but are stopped by the mayor running over.

"Enough ~ Bahamut, let her go today."

"Fuck off! Hiss~. The red-eyed lizardman shook off Mayor Mare and continued to charge towards Millie with his mouth wide open.

Millie took out a card from her pocket that emitted a golden light, George said that this was a Xuanwu card that he had infused with power, and as long as the card was still shining, he could summon the Shikigami Xuanwu with the power of the earth.

Millie did what George had taught her and threw the Xuanwu card on the ground.

The Xuanwu card swelled and burst when it touched the ground, and a cute pink pig with a twisted tail appeared in an instant.

As soon as Piggy appeared, he saw the lizardmen rushing towards him, which was quite similar to the dragonmen in the sky city in his impression.

Without hesitation, the piglet leapt into the ground, and the rushing lizardman's feet and tail were sealed by the sudden appearance of rocks, and it seemed that for a short time it could not break free.

Seeing his son trapped by a rock, the mayor runs towards Millie with a dagger.

Millie ran to Mona, who was tied up, and then she used a second card that emitted white light, and she threw it out the way George had taught.

The card that was thrown out was suspended in the air, and after a burst of white light, a white-haired girl wearing a simple dress appeared in the position of the card, the girl floated in mid-air, and her body emitted bursts of holy white light particles, and she held a white tiger head in her hands.

The mayor of the town was blocked by the girl who suddenly appeared, and the white tiger head held by the girl in both hands suddenly came to life, and the tiger head opened its mouth violently and bit the hand of the mayor holding the dagger, and then the girl in ancient costume disappeared, and the tiger head floating in place gradually became larger several times.
