Chapter II
"Huh? Where am I? ”
"It's so glaring."
The moment he opened his eyes, he saw a dazzling light, and wanted to block it with his hand, but he was surprised to find that his hand that should have been bruised turned into a white and tender little hand, what's going on?!
After thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong with the way I spoke.
Could it be that I've become, become a baby?!
Looking at the hands in front of him blankly, he felt the coldness of his whole body, obviously frightened by this phenomenon that violated scientific common sense.
When the vision was clear, at this time, the face of a middle-aged European woman suddenly appeared in front of her, she smiled and picked him up, said something she didn't understand, and handed it to the woman lying on the bed.
Leaving aside the lack of hostility towards him, the boy with glasses relaxed slightly.
Then he saw the whole picture of this woman, the woman was delicate, her long black hair was spread out, her forehead was covered with sweat, and a smile appeared on her pale face after giving birth to a child, and he could see that the woman was very happy.
He looked at the smile of the magnified woman in front of him, and the original fear of inexplicably becoming a baby in his heart disappeared in an instant, and the tense nerves of the whole person like a spring relaxed.
I don't know why, he was only twelve years old, and when he saw such a scene, he was not frightened and speechless, and his performance was really beyond his expectations.
Calming down, he carefully looked at the situation around him, he lived in a rotten tent with several holes and yellowing, and the sunlight outside was shining in this way, except for a wooden bed where the woman was now lying and the weeds growing on the ground, simplicity was the best description.
The woman wrapped Lixia in a thick-looking cloth, revealing only Xiali's face, and after the woman struggled to do all this, she didn't know what to say to the middle-aged woman, and lowered her head to send the middle-aged woman away, looking like she was thanking. The woman took Lexia in her arms and lay back on the bed.
His heart is very complicated now, and he can basically confirm one thing, he has probably become a baby.
He was very worried, he became a baby without saying a word, grandma and mother must be very worried, and there are teachers and them, will they call the police?
Considering this, he obviously did not realize the fact that he was dead in that world, but thought about the affairs of the people related to him, and felt that his disappearance must have caused them confusion.
Thinking in his arms, he may be because of the baby, thinking about it and falling asleep unconsciously, and the mother of this world.
When he opened his eyes in a daze, he felt something warm touching his lips before he woke up, and there was a smell of milk, it smelled very good, as if it was nature, he let go of his mouth and sucked it.
The woman looked at the baby in her arms and stroked the shaggy black hair on his head with relief, but when she thought of her future life, the woman smiled bitterly, life still has to go on.
…………………
Three years later, in the heart of the slum, the dilapidated houses, the stinking puddles, a group of little children chasing each other on the empty ground, laughing and laughing, except that these children were all ragged and dirty little faces with smiles, and the striking thing was a little boy sitting on a pile of collapsed rubble, looking down condescendingly at the little boys.
The little boy sat on the smooth gravel, wearing white short sleeves and white rotten shorts with several holes and yellowing, barefoot, two little hands supporting a cute little face, although the clothes were also tattered, but very clean, looking at this group of children who were playing and sighed.
He is the boy with glasses, he has been in this world for three years, and he will be four years old in two months.
In the past three years, Lexia has known that he is not on Earth, but has come to this strange place, giving up the idea of returning to the original world, fortunately, he still has relatives in this world, and he has something to rely on when he is lonely and helpless.
Learning the language of this world, Lexia understood that he was an ordinary child born in a slum in the town of Helmer, and his mother never mentioned a word about his father, and he was sensible enough to understand his mother, and in order to support himself, his mother went out early and returned late to become a servant of a nobleman.
Although the poor are despised in this world, my mother, with her excellent appearance and ingenious work ability, was admitted by the aristocracy by making an exception, and the money is not much, but she can barely survive.
But now my mother is sick and needs money to be cured, but where can I ask for money? Thinking of her mother, who was lying at home coughing, Lexia felt deep remorse for her powerlessness.
"Harry, come over to me!"
A domineering but immature voice came, and a girl who looked to be two or three years older than him shouted with her hands on her waist and a face.
This girl's gray hair is tied up into a long ponytail with a red ribbon, and she is dressed almost like Lixia, with a pair of good-looking thin eyebrows and soft female features, she is really a beautiful embryo, but the pair of eyes as terrifying as blood give people a very uncomfortable feeling.
"I'm sorry, Fia, I'll come down right away."
He, Harry, is his current name.
This girl was the best of them all, and it represented the boss, and Harry was afraid that he would be too late and make her angry, so he ran down the rubble pile as fast as he could, because he really didn't look like a punching bag for her.
Looking at the girl in front of me who was half a head taller than me, looking at her eyes, I had the feeling in my heart that I didn't want to look at her no matter how many times I didn't want to look at her.
After Fia and Harry looked at each other for a moment, she turned her gaze to the similarly dressed children who had already formed several detachments in front of her, about a dozen people, and said, "Today, as usual, go to the usual place to collect food, understand?" ”
"Understood!"
A loud and tidy voice was heard, and then the children scattered in all directions.
"Hee-hee, don't you always have a strained face, I'm going to show you some good things today."
Fera changed her majestic appearance and smiled like a heroic woman, her arm around Harry's neck and his face pulled to his chest, and her other hand pinched his face.
Harry was their advisor and the youngest of the cadres, and he was there to advise the children.
Fei Ya is five years old and is the first person to lead these children, so she is naturally the eldest. Beside him was a boy who looked strong and had a little dark skin, he was already eight years old, and he was very strong enough to carry several children of his age, and after being defeated by Ferya, he became her subordinate. The other boy with a thief's eyebrows was only six years old, because he was a little clever, and he was promoted to become a cadre, and in order to save some trouble, some things were left to him.
Unlike these children, Fea doesn't need to constantly pick up the garbage that people on the outskirts of the slums dump, which contains all kinds of waste, and when they are lucky, they can pick up some intact and non-smelly food in front of adults, or even a piece of good clothing.
The slums, where the lowly lived, were located in the corners of the western side of the town of Helmer under the high walls, and for the convenience of the inhabitants would dump the garbage into the filthy place, which contained leftover food and was a pitiful solace for those who were hungry all day long.
Hermai was a city-state of the Manster Empire, located near the border between the Empire and the Principality of Cuba, and was one of the fortresses on the border of the Empire.
The gap between the rich and the poor, as can be seen from this huge fortress, spreads out from the center of the richest area in the center, representing the residences of people of different statuses, and the people near the huge city walls, that is, the areas where the lowest status talents gather.
Get out of the slums, the edge of the free man's quarter, and although the houses around it are still dilapidated, you can live in it, and if you pay a certain fee to the nobles who rule the area, they will allow you to live in it, and Harry lives on the edge of the free man's area.
In the dark alleys of the trading place of the Free Zone, where the sun could not reach outside, on the tattered barrels, Fia looked at Harry with his legs crossed, hoping that he would give him an answer.
"Would you like it? Harry. ”
Harry was hesitant to do this. Or don't do it?
Just now, Fia took Harry out of the slums, into the winding alleys, and cautiously came to this place, the trading place of the Free Zone.
Sticking her head out at the doorway of the alley, Fia pointed to one of the shops that looked like it was doing well, and said, "Look, this is it. ”
Harry naturally poked his head out of the alley and smelled the smell of barbecue, a shop selling some kind of barbecue, looking at the fierce face, the bearded uncle in an apron with his thick arms shaking slightly as he turned the meat skewers on the grill, the rough voice when shouting, Harry couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Feiya, you, you shouldn't be trying to hit that uncle's barbecue attention, right?!" Harry had a bad feeling in his heart that this guy wanted to pay attention to the barbecue!
Fei Ya didn't speak, flashed her little tiger teeth, and smirked at Harry, it looked like it was undoubtedly, Harry thought dejectedly.
Back in the depths of the alley, Fia affectionately grabbed Harry's head and said in a tone of please, "I'll leave this matter to you, Master Harry." ”
Harry broke free of Feia's arm and stood in front of her, exhaling helplessly, "Alas, I really can't help it, don't ask me." ”
"You don't deceive people, you are the smartest among us, you must have a way."
Harry was speechless, he was indeed the smartest of the group, after all, he was twelve years old before he crossed over, and his actual age was fifteen years old after three years in this world.
There were reasons why Harry refused to take her, first of all, the barbecue uncle knew that he must be a ruthless man when he saw his fierce face and his shouting tone. If he was caught, he would definitely be killed. Let's talk about my clothes, although they are clean, but they are very torn, the key is that I have no shoes to wear, a pair of small feet are exposed, no matter how you look at it, they are children from the slums.
Slum children are notorious in this area, and in order to survive, they often steal other people's belongings, causing confusion to the residents of this area, so they are basically caught and beaten to death. The poor have no human rights, and they can only be qualified if they become civilians.
Seeing that Harry was slow to reply, Fia on the rotten barrel angrily crossed her hands together and made a crackling sound, warning him that if he didn't give a reply, he would beat you.
Harry looked at her menacing appearance and took a few steps back in fright, but his head shook like a rattle and disagreed.
Seeing that the threat was ineffective, Fera jumped off the rotten barrel with a smile as expected, and walked up to Harry with a treacherous expression.
"I knew you would refuse, I thought of everything you were worried about, Ivan, Jason took those things out."
Ivan was the tall, dark-looking boy, who walked up to Fea with a pair of little black shoes in both hands, and Jason, the other boy with a little girl's white dress, looking at Harry.
"You, you...... What do you want to do?! ”
"I borrowed these from Rhett, so don't break them."
Harry looked at Nafia's ill-intentioned look and took a few steps back uneasily.
"Don't!!"
Harry turned to run, but Fea, who quickly ran forward, grabbed him by the clothes behind him, and at the sound of Fea's wicked laughter, a young boy let out a cry of despair.
"Alright."
Lending the ribbon to Harry, Fera looked at the masterpiece in front of her and let out a sound of satisfaction.
The little girl with a short double ponytail tied into a bow with a red ribbon, her white and tender little face was dyed a faint red, she lowered her head, and pulled the skirt of the dress with both hands, looking embarrassed.
The girl was Harry, who had inherited most of his mother's appearance, and looked like a girl, except that he didn't usually take care of his clothes and hair.
The supple but messy black hair in front of her forehead has grown to her eyebrows, and the hair in her ears almost covers her ears, a pair of big black eyes, fluttering and blinking, cute, pink mouth, beautiful nose, white and delicate skin, her mother once helped Harry take a bath, and after the bath, Harry is simply a little girl carved in pink, she has a delusion that Harry should be a girl.
Now, Harry, who has changed into a dress and put on little black shoes, and has been carefully groomed with his hair, has already met the name of little Lori.
"Our military advisor, are you speechless because of my intimate service?"
“……”
Harry didn't want to say anything, he was already dressed like this, so he had to bite the bullet, but he had to make a plan first.
Looking at Harry who was thinking seriously, "Well... It's so cute," Fia couldn't help but hug Harry, rubbing Harry's face back and forth with her own face, and constantly gasping for satisfaction.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'll definitely hold back next time. ”
A few minutes later, ignoring Fera who was apologizing, a plan began to emerge in Harry's mind.
…………
Uncle Apron, the owner of the barbecue restaurant, was concentrating on roasting meat, and suddenly heard a cry, and looked forward, it was a cute Lori with a double ponytail who was crying and running here, with a pair of big black eyes filled with tears.
"What's wrong? Child? Uncle Apron put down his work and squatted in front of the girl and asked softly.
"Woo woo, uncle, uncle, my mom and dad are about to be killed, please go save them, please."
Little Lori wiped her tears, pointed to the alley she ran out of, and said intermittently with red eyes.
"What?!"
Uncle Apron and the people gathered around him were shocked to hear the news.
Although this is a free zone, there are many people, and it is normal for something to happen, but this is the first time I have heard of such a blatant situation.
Harry looked at the people around him with a hesitant look, and felt the need to add more fire.
Little Lori hugged the legs of a woman in a magician's robe, and looked at her with pleading eyes, "Sister, please help me, please." ”
The female magician finally couldn't resist Lori's pleading eyes, and said to her companions around her, "Let's go, let's go and see." ”
"You wait here for a while, my sister and brothers go and get your parents back."
The female magician stroked Lori's head and said softly, then turned her eyes to the crowd of onlookers around her, clenched the magic wand in her hand as if she had made up her mind, bowed to them and said, "Excuse me, can you help us?" We're just novice adventurers, and the experience isn't enough, and I hope to get your help, please. ”
The surrounding crowd obviously panicked, and Uncle Apron said anxiously, "Master Magician, we can't bear your gift, don't do this, we can help, we will definitely help, aren't you?" ”
The crowd scattered and drew their weapons from their shops, and gathered heavily armed to follow the sorceress into an alley.
The sorceress left Harry with an old woman in a flower shop, and Harry watched the gang rush into the alley, feeling a sense of remorse for deceiving others.
