Chapter III

As Harry basked in his deep self-reproach, a small stone rolled in front of him, and Harry retracted his thoughts, by the way, now was not the time to think about these issues. Looking at Fea and them, who were hiding behind several large barrels outside the alley, the stone she had thrown, Harry met her red eyes and nodded, it was time to start the next step.

"Grandma, I want to go to the bathroom." Little Lori said to the grandmother beside her.

The old lady smiled softly and led her little hand into the shop where she managed the flower shop, and now, the owner of the shop in this area was gone, only a few pedestrians walked by.

At this time, Fera ran out from behind the barrel with Ivan and Jason, and they each entered different shops and began to loot money and goods.

Not long after, under the exclamation of passers-by, a girl with a big bag on her back and a piece of meat in her mouth ran out of the barbecue restaurant, she called out the names of the other two people, and then ran into the alley together in front of the grandmother who rushed to hear the sound.

Harry, on the other hand, slipped out the back door of the flower shop while his grandmother was out to see what was going on.

At this time, the group of people under the leadership of the sorceress also happened to rush out of the alley, they had entered it with a nervous mood, they were ready to see the corpses and a big battle, but they found that there were no farts inside, only rats and cockroaches scattered everywhere, no matter how stupid people were, they should think that they had been deceived.

The people who rushed back, listening to everything the old lady of the flower shop said, were almost not dizzy, they were teased by a group of little children, and the money and some food and fruits were gone.

While the adults were still frustrated by what had just happened, the knights, dressed in silver armor and with a lion crossed and two swords tattooed on their left chest, rode up to the crowd on horseback.

"You reported the murder here?"

Leading the way was a middle-aged man with blond hair who didn't wear a helmet, and he asked.

"Yes, Lord Knight." The owner of the barbecue shop respectfully returned.

"In that case, why don't you take me here quickly."

"Well, that, I'm sorry, Lord Knight, there wasn't any homicide at all, we were all deceived by a bunch of kids." The barbecue shop owner said embarrassedly.

"Oh? What happened? ”

The blonde man listened to him one by one, and he could understand the reason for the incident.

"I hope you can find this group of liars for us."

After hearing this, the blonde man laughed and said sarcastically, "You can find these things by yourself, isn't there a team of adventurers next to you, you go and beg them, we don't have time to play a game of catching children with you." ”

The knights rode away, stirring up a cloud of dust and leaving behind an ugly crowd.

"I'm really sorry, it's all because of me, which caused the loss of your property, and I will definitely help you get it back." The sorceress took off her long, pointed gray hat and bowed her head and swore an oath.

Although everyone has been strongly demanding that she should not be recovered, they still acquiesce under her stubborn attitude.

Magician, for ordinary people is a noble, legendary identity, in this world, there are very few people who can learn magic, only humans who are favored by nature can obtain the ability to use magic, powerful destructive power and gorgeous and elegant magic is synonymous with magician, which is almost everyone's childhood dream.

"Where the hell are you going to find it, Sally, how can you find it when Hermai is so big?"

On the streets of the Free Zone, a bronzed-skinned girl stretched.

"You can't go wrong where you should go in the slums." Sally the Wizard returned confidently

The flat-headed young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was carrying a big sword and wearing a suit of armor, his name was Kai, and he also spoke at this time, "There are many slums in Hermai, do you know that one?" ”

"This ...... This, well, I don't know. Sally lowered her hands as if she had been struck.

"Judging from what they said, it should be around here, and it should be possible to find it in this range." Another silver-haired girl in a white robe, holding a scepter, said that she was a priest.

"It's Lucy, you can think of it, and you have to find a way for Sally's stupidity." Linda, a short-haired red girl with two daggers around her waist, hugged Pastor Lucy and said.

"Without further ado, let's go." Sally shouted energetically.

Lucy sighed, took the scepter in her hand and gently tapped Sally's head, "It's already noon, eat first." ”

The remaining three people also sighed one after another, feeling very helpless about this captain with an inflated sense of justice.

……………

In the center of the slums, it is still the same location, but it is different from the mild sun this morning, the sun at noon is a little scorching, Feia, who has tied her hair on the gravel, huddles her chest and looks at the children below, and the closest to the left is Harry who has changed into his original clothes, and then Ivan and Jason.

"Have you really decided? Fera? Harry whispered to Fia.

"Yes, I've decided."

"Well, well."

Hearing Feia's unhesitating answer, Harry knew that she had made up her mind and that the eight horses would not be able to pull back, and Harry sighed worriedly.

Fia and Harry went down and opened the three large bags on the ground, and in the shock of the children, they gave them the barbecue and fruit.

After dividing these things, Fia pulled Harry aside with the adoring eyes of the children and said, "These things were obtained by Harry's military master, with him, we believe that we will not starve to death, let us cheer for him." ”

Harry wanted to explain, because he felt that it was not his own work, but the joint efforts of everyone to succeed, but he was restrained by Feia's eyes.

"Harry, Harry......" Harry's name was shouted loudly in the childish voices, and Harry scratched his head a little embarrassed.

The children took the food back to their homes, and today they had dinner again. Feia sat on the rubble pile with her hands on her face, a pair of red eyes looked at these smiling children, the corners of her mouth inadvertently hooked a beautiful arc, Harry standing on the side naturally saw this scene, sometimes those eyes are not so scary, Harry thought.

"Feia, it's yours." Harry took something wrapped in black cloth and handed it to Fea.

"Mine?"

"You must have forgotten to take your share again, take it, I'm going home." After Harry handed it to Fia, he expertly stepped on the gravel and jumped off.

As a result, Harry was already surrounded by a group of children, and the scene was comparable to a small fan catching his favorite star and not letting him go, trying to make him tell him what had happened, Harry smiled wryly, and in order to prevent them from being exposed to the sun's heat, he could only sit under the iconic tree in the center and talk about the incident.

Under the leafy tree, in the cool shade of the tree, a little boy was surrounded by a group of children, both large and small, and the little boy in the center told the story of the incident vividly, and everyone listened with bated breath, like a good student sitting in the classroom listening carefully.

Fia leaned against the big tree and quietly looked at Harry sitting in the middle of the child, and as Harry stumbled and undulated his words, the children made surprised or happy sounds from time to time, all of which seemed very warm.

…………

…………

In the afternoon, the blue sky, white clouds, and the scorching sun, and the sharply rising temperature made Harbin, who was walking on the way home, wipe the sweat on his forehead with his hand.

After telling the story of the incident, Harry left, and although the children were retained, Harry refused because the mother of the family still needed to take care of herself.

Harry's little feet stepped on the sun-scorched earth, and the scorching sun shone on Harry's body, Harry couldn't help but speed up his pace, if he continued like this, he would suffer from heat stroke.

The dirty streets were deserted, and the people in tattered clothes took refuge in the dark and cool corners early, looking at the little boy running in the sun on the road with decadent eyes, and then turned their gaze away.

This is the life of these miserable people, who have nothing, who sleep on the streets all day long, who survive on food left in the garbage, and who die as a matter of order. Sometimes the person sleeping next to you may die due to various problems, and in the early morning it may become a stiff and cold corpse, and the well-meaning person will find a random place to bury the corpse, or wait for the corpse to stink and then cover their nose and complain and bury it, this is their daily routine.

Harry had seen these things since he was a child, and he had become accustomed to them, and it was normal for death to be in this place. Running into a dark alley, Harry slowed down, the sun outside couldn't shine in, and the temperature inside wasn't as hot as outside.

Arguably the most widely spread area of the Hurmai streets, the alley is a great place for people to take shortcuts, dump corpses, and do things that are unseemly, and for Harry, who grew up here, this alley is safe and easy to get home faster.

Passing through this alley, there is an old residential area outside, and unlike the slums inside, the streets here are neat and clean, the buildings are not broken bricks, and the people in simple clothes are busy moving, completely different from those who sit and wait for death inside.

Arriving in front of a dilapidated four-story house, Harry pushed open the almost rotten wooden door and drove upstairs to a room on the third floor.

Push open the door and "Mom, I'm back." ”

Harry's package fell to the ground, spilling some food, and Harry ran to the bedside where his mother was lying, looking warily at the five men in front of him.

The five men, of course, were Sally and her group, and after lunch at a restaurant, they went to the slum closest to the scene of the crime to investigate.

Dirty, messy, poor, this is their first impression of this area, the people here are skinny, the children are hiding in the distance, their dirty little faces are looking at them curiously, for some reason, Sally They saw such a scene, their hearts became very heavy.

When they came to the slums, they were naturally looked at strangely by everyone, and it was a very unpleasant thing to be stared at by strangers, let alone a large group.

Sally and her entourage, under the eyes and discussions of a group of people, easily asked the source and mastermind of the barbecue from the mouth of a little boy who was obviously eating barbecue, and in this way, led by the little boy, they came to Harry's residence, only to see the woman who was sick in bed.

Priest Lucy hid the original purpose from Harry's mother, lying that they were coming to thank Harry for the reason, Harry's mother heard this intention, relaxed her vigilance, and wanted to entertain them warmly, but unfortunately she couldn't get out of bed due to illness, Lucy, as a priest, used low-level healing techniques, but could not achieve the effect of complete healing, and could only play a role in alleviating the condition.

Oops, I didn't expect them to find this place so quickly, what should I do now? Thinking of this, Harry looked at the men with a cautious expression.

"Harry, what are you doing? Can't be so rude to a guest, you know? Lying on the bed, Harry's mother blamed Harry, and then said to them, "I'm really sorry, usually, Harry is very well-behaved, I don't know what happened today, I hope you will forgive me, ahem!" ”

"Mom, stop talking, lie down and rest first." Harry put his mother back on the bed and covered her with the quilt.

After doing this, Harry glanced at them and went out the door, and the men followed him out.

In the hallway, Harry clenched his fists, raised his head and said calmly to them, "I did all this, if you want to catch me, don't bother my mother." ”

Sally, the sorceress in front, crouched down and stroked Harry's head, "I know, I know, we won't catch you, and we won't blame you." ”

The group that had come here had changed their minds from what they had just experienced, and the boy's account of Harry's worship on the way.

"Why?" Harry felt strange.

"Why? Because you love your mom so much, right, all these things you do are for your partners. ”

"But I deceived others and caused them confusion."

Sally rubbed Harry's hair faster, and said with relief, "It's good that you know, don't do it next time, you know?" ”

Harry was silent for a moment, then looked up into her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, sister, I can't do it, if that's the case, everyone will starve to death sooner or later." ”

Sally stopped and stared blankly at the boy in front of her, obviously stunned by Harry's words.

Pastor Lucy on the side sighed, and also half-crouched in front of Harry, "You cherish your companions very much, this is a good thing, but, have you considered the emotions of those who have been hurt, you can't only think about the good side, and the bad side should also be considered, if this continues, sooner or later you will be arrested by the Imperial Army, have you thought about such consequences?" ”

Yes, why didn't I think of such a problem, although the impact of the riots we caused was not very large, but as long as it accumulates a lot, when the anger accumulated by everyone reaches a certain limit, the people who resent us will definitely destroy us at all costs, and when the time comes, it will be too late, I am really too careless. Thinking of such an aftermath, a cold sweat appeared on Harry's forehead.

"Then sister, what can I do to protect everyone?" Such a question is undoubtedly too difficult for a child who has only gone to junior high school, even if he has read a lot of books, and has little understanding of social practice and human nature, Harry can only pin his hopes on the girl in front of him.

Lucy smiled wryly, "There's nothing I can do, I'm sorry." ”

Harry's hopeful eyes darkened, he lowered his head, then raised his head and said with a smile, "It's okay sister, it's too early to give up, I believe that there will always be a way." ”

Lucy smiled when she heard Harry say this, and put her palm on Harry's forehead, "May Leona, the goddess of light, bless you from the confusion of illness." ”

After Lucy said this with a solemn face, her palm emitted a golden light, which slowly melted into Harry's forehead.

Harry felt that something warm was wandering around his body, and it was very comfortable, and he was a lot more energetic.

"Sister, what the hell happened just now?"

Looking at Lucy, who had withdrawn her hand and stood up, Harry was curious about the phenomenon that had just occurred.

"It's low-level healing magic."

"Magic?" Harry, who didn't know anything about the terms, questioned.

Sally added, "Don't you know? The people in this world who can use magic are all called magicians, but they are divided into different magicians according to the people who are close to different elements, and I am a great wood-based magician. ”

When Harry heard Sally say this, it was as if the door to a new world had been opened, and Harry, who had never known about this before, became deeply curious about this world for the first time.
