When the darkness cleared, Murray found himself back in front of the stairs, where Aunt Shanna stood at the end of the stairs.

Only this time, there was no sticky darkness under Aunt Shanna's feet, and she was like a helpless and arrogant empress, standing alone at the end of the stairs.

The words of Aunt Shanna's sister Erin came back to my mind: "Remember, you must challenge her head-on, you must force her to attack you, and kill you with your own hands." ”

Taking a deep breath, Murray walked towards the end of the stairs step by step, his steps unusually firm.

Step by step, the stairs never seem to end.

But Murray was not in a hurry at all, he was determined to move upwards step by step.

Step by step, without any obstruction, but never climb to the end of the stairs.

At the end of the staircase, Aunt Shanna soon heard footsteps below and looked down at Murray as she walked up the stairs.

At this moment, Aunt Shanna's eyes were pitch black, like a bottomless abyss.

But when he saw Mori's face clearly, and saw the determined expression on Mori's face, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

In a trance, Aunt Shanna's sanity returned, and she recognized Murray as she was climbing the stairs.

A cold voice sounded: "Little Mori, you shouldn't come here, you should go back and get out of here." ”

Murray raised his head, looked at the figure standing at the end of the stairs, and responded with a smile: "Aunt Shanna, I'm here to pick you up, take you back." ”

The figure at the end of the stairs suddenly shook twice, as if it had been touched by such a friendly voice.

At the bottom of my heart, it was as if a hole had suddenly opened, and a light appeared in my heart buried by darkness.

Unconsciously, I will remember that I once had contact with a child who was climbing the ladder.

I vaguely remember that it was winter, and on the day of the sun god's birthday, a ragged boy appeared on the street.

The boy's black hair and black eyes are very conspicuous, and it is also like a terrible curse, so that all pedestrians on the street will naturally avoid it.

It looked like the boy was really down, more like he had just escaped from somewhere.

Walking aimlessly on the street for an unknown amount of time, suddenly the young man's body shook, and his steps became a little vain.

Finally, as soon as he reached Raul's shop at the corner of the street, the boy collapsed in front of the shop.

At that time, Raul was still in the factory and did not come back, and Shana, who was alone in the shop, immediately saw the fallen boy.

Almost without any hesitation, Shanna pushed open the door of the shop and ran out to pick up the boy.

I was a child at the time, and I was so tired that I felt pity.

When the passer-by next to him saw this, someone immediately reminded: "Hey, let's leave him alone, he is a native of the Dragon Kingdom, and he will bring disaster." ”

Ever since the empire suffered a great loss in the dragon kingdom, all the people of the empire will regard the dragon people as the source of the disaster.

Although the people of the empire did not dare to provoke the dragons, they would also stay away from them, and no one would want to approach them.

But Shanna did not leave the child, but picked him up, turned and walked towards the shop.

Seeing such a situation, passers-by on the street talked about it, and they all thought that Shanna was really crazy.

"Oh my God, is Shanna crazy?"

"This woman is really crazy, and she actually wants to save a dragon countryman. ”

"That's a calamity, and it's going to bring us calamity. ”

......

But Shanna ignored the men's comments, and just carried the child into the shop and locked the door.

After just having the child, watching the child gobble up the food made Shanna feel very relieved.

I and Raul have never had children, and now that a child appears, I believe it will make Raul happy.

Thinking like this made Shanna feel even more determined that she was right to save this child.

Sure enough, Raul, who came back from work in the evening, was very happy and happily accepted Murray's existence.

Later, Murray gave full play to his dragon country expertise and followed Raul into the factory as an apprentice, which can be regarded as a disguise of his identity.

In fact, both he and Raul know very well that this child of the Dragon Kingdom, like those who stayed in the Empire, is looking for their dragons.

But what they didn't know was that their dragon was not in the Empire, and that the dragon had appeared but then disappeared.

Out of the protection of the children of the Dragon Kingdom, he did not tell him his identity as a witch.

Later, the child made a lot of friends in the city and made money from the factory, so he moved out to live on his own.

Neither Shanna nor Raul stopped them, as the two were well aware that each needed to have their own secrets.

However, even though they have moved out, their children still come to the house from time to time and eat dinner at home most of the time.

Later, the children in the city told him that he was going to study at the Royal Academy, and the child also had the idea of going.

Shanna and Raul had no intention of stopping them, and began to think of ways to save money so that the dragon children could go to the Royal Academy.

But why? Why did the war happen? Why is Raul gone? Raul, where are you?

Thinking about it, Shanna fell into a state of madness, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.

Murry, who had climbed the stairs, had already felt the change in Aunt Shanna, especially when she raised her head to look into the other's eyes, watching the light in the depths of her eyes gradually magnify, but it suddenly disappeared.

Murray knew very well that it should be Aunt Shanna who had been touched again, causing the darkness in her heart to explode.

Sensing that time was running out, Murray suddenly pulled out the flintlock pistol from his waist and shot Aunt Shanna in the shoulder.

"Bang" black marbles flew out and hit Aunt Shanna in the shoulder very accurately.

The blood flew and Aunt Shanna came to her senses in an instant, and she looked down at Mori on the stairs again.

Then, with anger in the darkness of Aunt Shanna's eyes, she suddenly reached out and attacked Murry.

Seeing this situation, Murray knew very well that the opportunity had come, and he had to seize it.

So without the slightest hesitation, he continued to climb upwards while dodging Aunt Shanna's attack.

Finally, after much evasion, Murray finally rushed up the stairs and came to Aunt Shanna.

Throwing away the flintlock pistol in his hand, he jumped forward and grabbed Aunt Shanna's shoulders: "Aunt Shanna is me, it's me, I'm Mori, look at me, look at me, wake up." ”

In the face of Murray's call, Shanna seemed to have some reaction, and the light in her eyes resurfaced.

But the next moment, her eyes were instantly filled with darkness, and then Aunt Shanna raised her hands without the slightest hesitation and pierced through Mori's chest.
