Chapter 328: The Reason for Holding the Knife
After a chance encounter at the entrance and exit of the cave, Barrett and Igarashi follow Chaika to the camp where their children, who had escaped from Eden, lived. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
There are seven or eight children here, who are not very young compared to Chaika. When Barrett walked into the tent, they were preparing for lunch, and the cooking tools had become behemoths in their hands, making them look very difficult to use.
The children were stunned for a moment when they saw Barrett, and then they all threw themselves at her and began to cry loudly, and even Chaika, who had already cried once before, couldn't help but howl again. Their hometown was destroyed, all the adults died, and these children finally saw a pillar to rely on along the way.
And looking at the children's tears, how could Barrett hold back, and immediately burst into tears.
Faced with this scene, Igarashi Suke was a little overwhelmed, and he could only stand behind Barrett, feeling a little guilty in his heart. But when he suddenly saw a grateful smile that Barrett squeezed towards him in her sadness, he understood that it didn't matter if he didn't do anything, it was enough for him to stay here at this time.
In this way, after howling and crying to their heart's content, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down. Optimism is a rare nature of children, and carefree is the medicine to relieve sadness.
Under Barrett's skillful inducement, the children soon burst into smiles.
"That's right!" Suddenly, Barrett seemed to think of something, and then laughed excitedly, "Do you want to go to school?"
When she made this suggestion, it was Windolph College that came to Barrett's mind. Civilian adventurers, excellent craftsmen, and businessmen, these were put aside first, and she was just thinking that if she could let these children live in the relaxed and bright atmosphere of the academy and make a lot of friends, maybe she could really dissolve the sadness and loneliness in their hearts.
"Going to school?"
"What is going to school?"
There is no such thing as compulsory education in the worldview setting here, and children are basically raised by adults themselves, so it is normal for them not to know "going to school".
"That ......," Barrett said after a little consideration of her words, "is that you can know a lot of things that you don't know, and then you can make a lot of good friends." All in all, it's a place where people feel very, very happy. ā
"Don't!" but at this moment, a little boy said something that really hurt Barrett's self-confidence.
Why not?
Just as she was puzzled, the little boy rolled his eyes and pointed his right hand at Igarashi Suke, who was sitting next to Barrett.
"I'm going to learn how to use knives from that big brother!
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the youngest girls couldn't help but twitch her nose and burst into tears.
"Mommy!"
The children around her hurriedly gathered around to comfort her, and Chaika, the eldest who had the demeanor of an eldest sister, gave the little boy an annoyed look: "What's the matter with you! Didn't you say you wouldn't talk about it!"
"But, but......" Knowing that what he said was the reason for the crying and laughing girl, the little boy couldn't help but bow his head.
At this moment, Igarashi Suke opened his mouth and let out a voice: "You, why do you want to learn knives from me?"
Hearing this, the little boy looked at Igarashi Suke as a matter of course. Immediately, he saw a gaze that shot straight into his heart like a knife.
The little boy felt frightened, and his voice couldn't help but reveal cowardice: "Of course, it is to avenge his father, mother, and everyone in the village......"
"That's not right!" Igarashi snapped.
Barrett's pain, her own inner torment, that decadent and languishing time was not useless. Igarashi learned one thing from this.
What is powerful? It's not about being able to make up for things after they happen, it's about being able to stop them before they happen.
Therefore, he must make the most important sentence clear to the child in front of him who has the intention of holding a knife: "The blade wielded for that reason will only become empty." Calm down and think about it, and then answer me again, why are you learning from me?"
The boy was shocked by Igarashisuke's solemnity, and did exactly what Igarashi said, calming his head down, and then he clearly heard the unstopped crying around him.
At this moment, a thought came to his heart, he didn't know if it was the right answer, but it was the only answer he could think of at this time.
"In order not to make everyone cry anymore, I am going to learn the knife from you. ā
As soon as these words came out, Barrett, and then the other children were stunned, and the crying little girl gradually stopped crying. They felt a kind of strength in the words of the little boy.
Igarashi suke also felt it. Grief cannot be stopped by compensation, it can only be stopped before grief arrives. Therefore, although it was different from what he had realized, the little boy also said the "way of protection" at this moment
At this, Igarashi suke laughed rarely.
"Well, let's stop making girls cry. ā
"Igarashi, Barrett, are you there?"
At this moment, a call came from outside the tent, and the two of them immediately recognized that it was Li Mengxi's voice, so they got up one after another, planning to go out to have a look.
"What about the knife!" the little boy hurriedly asked when he saw that Igarashi was leaving.
Hearing this, Igarashi suke temporarily stopped and looked back and said, "I'll think about it." ā
This is not a perfunctory statement, there is an awareness embedded in it. The perceptive little boy sensed this realization and couldn't help but laugh.
With that, the children watched as Igarashi and Barriet stepped out of the tent.
The two of them came outside, and sure enough, they saw Li Mengxi's figure.
"General, is there something wrong?" Igarashi took two steps forward and came to Li Mengxi and asked. Barrett, who was following him, also showed a questioning gaze.
"That ......" Li Mengxi flinched a little, so he decided to say something else first, "I got the exact information from Min Wei and them, and the location of the 'Black Scepter of the Dead King' can already be determined." ā
"Squeak. Barrett's fists clenched unconsciously. After all, to determine the location of the "Black Staff of the Dead King" is to determine the location of the enemy who destroyed the village.
Seeing her behavior in her eyes, Li Mengxi couldn't help but feel nervous in her heart and became even more worried.
At the same time, Igarashi said, "Is it, is the general here to call us to a combat meeting?"
"No, it's still the same after dinner. ā
"Speaking of dinner. Barriet interjected, "Well, can we let the kids eat with us? They don't know how to cook, and they don't want to cause trouble to others, so they haven't been eating very well." ā
"Of course you can. When Li Mengxi said this, it was completely different from what he felt just now, and he was very happy.
As a result, Igarashi Suke was keenly aware that something serious might be something.
"General, what do you want to tell us?"
Hearing Igarashi Suke's question, and seeing his sharp gaze again, Li Mengxi had no way to retreat. Besides, he'd decided to trust Barrett like Naine did.
"Alas, in fact, the person who has mastered the 'Black Rod of the Dead King' already knows it, and its name is ...... Rausis. ā
What the!
Barrett's eyes trembled with horror.
