25. Questioning

In the wee hours of the morning, Rodin peeked out of the ground with his swaddling head in his arms. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis place is about a kilometer from the town, so I walked for about ten minutes on foot, and happened to meet the patrol members on the way.

"Hey, Rodin, where have you been on the big night?"

"Didn't I get Uncle William and their children back? ”

As soon as the words fell, the newcomers instantly gathered around and looked at Rodin in admiration and amazement.

Rodin suddenly felt that his head was as big as a fight, and it took a long time to explain, but out of consideration for the sake of the landlord, he made up a story to prevaricate everyone.

After sending the newcomers, they rushed to William's house non-stop.

"Wow-wow-" With a baby's cry, William's family rushed out of the hut and ran to Rodin in a hurry.

"Little Ryan, my dear darling!" William took the child gently, and after a frenzy of kissing, the family who couldn't sleep all night swarmed around, constantly checking and scrutinizing.

"I'll just say, our little Ryan, Ji people have their own natural appearance. ”

"Yes, thanks to Lord Rodin, little Ryan was able to return unharmed. ”

The family was excited with tears, comforting each other, telling that they hugged each other, and Rodin who watched it also missed the family in his previous life, his parents were alive, but unfortunately he couldn't repay them, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic.

"Lord Rodin, you can't repay our kindness to our family!" Uncle William took the lead, and the family fell to their knees with a bang.

Rodin hurriedly explained: "What are you doing here, get up quickly." "The farmers of this world are really simple and straightforward.

"From today onwards, you will be the great benefactor of our family. After that, the family really kowtowed to Rodin, which made him feel quite awkward. Then Uncle William went back to the house and took out a small linen money bag.

"This money is not a tribute, please be sure to accept it. ”

Rodin refused: "Take the money back and buy some clothes for the children." Your family is not rich, and besides, I am not short of money now. ”

"If you don't take it, we won't be able to sleep. ”

"Yes, Lord Rodin, you can take it, don't refuse, or we will be upset. ”

The family said a word, but the expression was extremely sincere, Rodin couldn't refuse, he could only reluctantly accept it, about 200 Marelli, a heavy money bag, a sense of accomplishment spontaneously arose.

"By the way, my lord, where did you find little Ryan, and who is the murderer?"

Rodin did as he told the patrolman, saying that he had been stolen by a mischievous little animal, and his heart was beating.

After hearing this, Cynthia, a girl with two ponytails, muttered: "Impossible, there is obviously no movement at all." ”

"Shut up, since Lord Rodin said that, what do you suspect!" William immediately bowed his head in reprimand.

Rodin pretended to yawn and was a little sleepy, so he took his leave: "Then I will go back to rest first, the child is back, you should also rest and rest, you haven't closed your eyes for two days." “

Leaving in the hope of William's family, Rodin walked in the cold and silent night, an inexplicable sorrow came to his heart, and those fragments of friendship and family on the earth could not be suppressed.

My relatives and friends, are you okay in the other world?

Wandering through the night, Rodin returned to the vicinity of Melissa's tavern, and the pretty face came to his mind.

"yes, I'm not alone, I still have Melissa. “

"Rodin!" suddenly a cold voice woke him from his reverie.

"Old man, you don't sleep at night. But it's good that the task you gave me is complete. Ryan Jr. had just returned home in its entirety. “

Leviathan's majestic figure emerged from the shadows, and there was no joy or anger on his face, but it made Rodin feel inexplicable palpitations.

"Are you done?, then why don't you kill the Quire!"

Rodin replied in surprise: "You, did you already know that it was the Dikui who kidnapped little Ryan?"

"I'm asking you, why don't you kill the Quiver!?"

Rodin has rarely been questioned like this, and his heart suddenly surged, but he pressed it down in an instant, and deep down, he still had great respect for the person in front of him.

She didn't do anything heinous, she stole little Ryan because she was lost and felt lonely. Why kill her?"

"All life has the value of existence!"

Rodin said his thoughts loudly, this is also the law he has always abided by in his previous life, he rejects things that are too extreme, this is also his character, biased towards moderation.

"How do you know it's not her side of the story?"

"I believe in my feelings, and besides, in that situation, if she were to run away, I couldn't do anything about it. “

Leviathan's eyes were like knives, and he scolded sharply: "The kindness of a woman." You're too soft-hearted!"

"Have I ever been soft when I killed griffins, water ghosts, and fog demons? Force must also be divided into targets, otherwise it will become violence. ”

Leviathan suddenly laughed angrily, "What a young, childish idea. ”

"Did you know that on the borders of the Empire, hundreds of soldiers die at the hands of monsters every day, most of them are young people of your age, parents, wives and children, relatives and friends? Your kindness today may result in the loss of several innocent lives. ”

"Listen to me, if you are not of my race, their hearts will be different!"

Rodin was silent, Leviathan's words were not unreasonable, but he was also a stubborn man, and he couldn't let him kill monsters indiscriminately. After all, he is still essentially a modern earth.

"But this time I'll count you through. The next test, I hope you don't let me down again. ”

"See you tomorrow morning at seven o'clock under the big banyan tree in the east of the town. “

Saying goodbye to Leviathan and returning to his exclusive room in the tavern, Rodin tossed and turned. A wave of irritability and suffocation filled the chest.

Since Leviathan had known that it was the Dikui who had taken away little Ryan, perhaps his every move fell into his eyes.

When I went to the forest to pick the heart grass and met Lincoln, I always felt that he had a familiar feeling at the time, but now in retrospect, he and Leviathan, the way he walked, and the temperament on his body, were extremely similar. Maybe they're in a group, or rather, from one place.

"This also explains why Lincoln was so helpful to a stranger to me, and when he left, he happened to give me the magic potion that I could find the Qui. “

"But, why did Lincoln pretend he hadn't heard of me, and why didn't Leviathan just tell me if he wanted me to kill the Quiver?

Or is my attitude towards Dikui also a test?"

It seems that Rodin was not as insignificant as he thought. Leviathan's harsh scolding showed that he still had some weight in his heart.

"What's my weight? Even the Leviathan's choice to teach me in the first place was full of suspicion, just because I looked like one of his old friends?"

"If there is really anything worth paying attention to, then there is only one identity of me - a traveler. “

"Haha" lying on the bed, Rodin suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly, and he was quite helpless about his own brain.

Sleep, sleep, there is one last test tomorrow.

It's useless to think too much, strength is the root of everything.
