Chapter Twenty-Three: The Return
Approaching the village, Canette rode El and sighed as he looked at the hillside in the distance. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Ash must still be inside, lying on the bed.
But this time, when he looked at the house again, the witcher's heart was extremely heavy.
Because in his eyes, this is no longer a girl who looks curiously at the scenery outside the window, but a strong girl who lies on the bed and waits quietly for death, but still smiles brightly at strangers.
"You're back anyway. Standing in front of the chapel, the Shadow Knight turned his head and looked at Canette with a complicated look: "...... You shouldn't see her again, really. Judging by your performance, you seem to know everything, right?"
"There are very few people in the village. Canette avoided the conversation, glancing at Alice and Charlotte, who were sitting on a picnic on the grass (they had already eaten most of the roast pigs), and thought that the girl's shackles and ice crystal steel blindfolds were really artistic.
It takes a lot of courage to dare not to hide your slave status...... But how could the shackles on the black-haired dragon girl be magically constructed? The magic eye easily saw through the secret of Charlotte's shackles, and Canette felt extremely strange.
It can't be a personal favorite. Or is it...... To take care of the blonde girl next to her?
That's great, how good does it have to be to be like this.
"yes...... I'm going to see the event you just watched. The Shadow Knight smiled bitterly: "Even so, most of these people left in the village now are temporarily unavailable. Maybe I'll have to see it in a while. It's three days anyway. ”
"The execution will last three days?" Carnett questioned, "Is it possible to die early if you are weak?"
"It stands to reason that it will. If the girl can't hold on, they'll use healing spells. The Shadow Knight's expression seemed to be very confident in what he was saying, "I don't think anyone can last more than three days. ”
"I even deliberately used healing spells, and the prisoners' treatment was really high. With a sarcastic remark, Canette twisted his stiff neck and rode straight to the hill.
"Are you still going to see her?" Shadow Knight looked at Cannet, his expression becoming bitter, "Forget it, I know it's useless to say anything. ”
And Canette only glanced at him. Again, nothing more. It's just that you can notice that the paladin is still watching you.
The cottage on the hillside was already within easy reach. Carnet lightly jumped off the horse and walked to the front of the house.
He knocked on the door, "Ash?"
"Ah, Mr. Cannett......" A rather weak voice came from the room, and Ash's tone sounded hopeful and apologetic, "I'm sorry, I'm having some trouble getting out of bed...... The door is unlocked, can you please come in by yourself?"
“...... Well. Pushing the door open, Canette walked in with a light step, and was greeted by Ash, who was lying on the bed, trying to lift himself.
"Feeling...... It's weird. At that time, I was obviously desperate to get up and write a letter, but I couldn't lift myself up for a while. Ash smiled lonely, and the expression full of anticipation and strength was very poignant.
The girl's silver hair looks quite good-looking. Silky and delicate. The eyes were sky blue with Cannet's arrival.
"Lie down, don't force your body. Carnet quietly walked to the girl's bed and sat down helplessly on a chair.
His eyes were on the flowerpot on the bedside table. The withered flowers look like a girl about to wither.
Speaking of which, I just got involved in this matter because I noticed this flower pot when I was passing by......
"Mr. Carnett...... Have you seen my dad?" said Carnett, who was in a daze, and the girl cautiously began to ask.
"See. Carnett's heart sank: finally he had to answer the question.
"So, is there anything he wants to say to Ash after reading the letter?" Ash's little face was now full of excitement: "Sure enough, Dad...... I just didn't get the letter. ”
"He said he's sorry for you. Canette hesitated for a moment, but answered truthfully.
There were some things that Canette couldn't bear to say. But......

The Parchment Scroll that Tells Ancient Memories: The Practical Battle.
Shadow, Summon, Temporal Magic: Cloak of Shadow
Caster: Beverly. Race & Gender: Human, Female.
Drive source: Mana.com.
Fourteen-year-old Beverly ran fast through the alleys of the slums and reached her destination by night.
This is the family...... The girl couldn't help but feel a little nervous: this was her first time on a high-risk theft mission.
This time, the target is an agate bracelet. It seems that the owner is also illegally smuggling goods to be traded on the black market, so stealing such a thing, little Beverly has no psychological burden.
I don't know why this thing is so valuable, but it's safe to assume that this trip won't be easy.
Beverly was nervous, but she still took a deep breath and mustered up confidence.
No problem...... As long as you use the shadow cloak I trained before, you won't be discovered.
Quietly unlocked the back door, and she began to walk in lightly.
Suddenly, however, bright red eyes emerged in a shadow.
It was a two-meter-tall magic mech.
Sure enough, there are guards, or magic mechas...... Beverly hurriedly dodged a deadly arcane ray sideways and immediately ducked behind the cabinet.
Beverly, whose technology was still jerky, couldn't release the Shadow Cloak in an instant. There must be a casting process.
The Wizard Mecha stood up heavily, slowly approaching.
Before she was discovered, she condensed the Shadow Essence and summoned the Cloak of Shadow, which was born from the darkness and enveloped her body. And Beverly's body also disappeared into it with the darkness.
Call...... It's dangerous...... Little Beverly bypassed the magical mech, barely reaching the treasure storage room before the duration of the Shadow Cloak was over, closing the door behind her and gasping for breath: if she didn't dodge the first time, it would be over.
I have to succeed...... Beverly was nervous: even if she fought for her life.
Because if I don't have enough money to complete the guild's trials, then ......
Then I will still have to be arrested and used as a prostitute. She knew it would be easier, but once she was in a brothel, it was hard to be free. But Beverly didn't want to accept her fate like that.
She wanted to get out of the slums. And...... I still want to live to see Brother Olancart who has gone.
I hope it's just as a sister, not a girl who sells spring.
