Volume XVI, Chapter XVII

Qinglong smiled kindly, and he walked past the little sister and entered the tailor's shop, where the tailor shop owner hurried up to meet him and looked up at this special customer with courtesy. "Take out your most beautiful clothes here," Qinglong said to the boss, pointing to the little sister who was still standing at the door of the store and looking inside, "I want them to wear them." The boss looked at the two ragged little girls at the door with some hesitation, puzzled and hesitant.

"I'll pay for the money!" Qinglong took out two gold coins and handed them to the boss, and said with a smile: "Is it enough?" The boss was overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Enough is enough, it's enough to buy the shop!" After a while, the boss came out with a large number of colorful and beautiful clothes, and there was a guy who came out with him, and the two of them put the clothes one by one on a long square table and stood aside.

Qinglong turned around and beckoned to the little sister: "Come here, come over and see which one you like, pick whatever you like, no money." My sister was still hesitating, and my sister was already running over happily, but my sister wanted to pull her but didn't catch her. My sister ran to Qinglong's side, looked left and right, and suddenly picked up the skirt just now and compared it to her body, ran to her sister and asked happily: "Sister, is it good-looking?"

Qinglong walked behind her and squatted down, his slender fingers caressed her shoulder, and said with a smile: "Of course it's good-looking!, but you can't look good yourself, if you want your sister to look good, tell your sister to go in and choose clothes!" The younger sister grabbed her sister's hand, pulled her into the tailor's shop, pulled her to the table, and said happily: "Sister, quickly find a favorite one to wear!" The sister gently touched the neatly placed clothes with a trembling hand, for fear that she would accidentally break it. Tears of excitement lingered from the corners of his eyes.

Qinglong watched from behind, feeling very uncomfortable. He knew he could help them temporarily, but he couldn't completely change their fate. Just as he can't change the fate of himself and Si'er.

A person suddenly walked past Qinglong, walked quickly to his sister's side, gently wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and coaxed her with a smile: "Why are you crying? Girls should be happy to wear new clothes! Come, I'll help you choose one." Well...... How about this one?" her appearance couldn't help but make Qinglong stunned, and he looked at her with a pair of surprised green eyes, unable to imagine why she was here.

The older girl also looked at the sister who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise, her kind smile dissolved the panic in the girl's heart, and wiped away the tears of excitement on her face with a smile. Comparing the dress on her, she smiled and praised repeatedly: "It's so beautiful! It's so cute!" She looked at her sister playfully, and said with a smile: "Isn't your sister beautiful?"

Qinglong walked to the woman's side, and asked with a slightly surprised smile: "Little girl, why did you come here?" The other party raised his head playfully, looked at Qinglong with a pair of big black eyes, and said casually: "I'm looking for you!" Qinglong stared at the face that was very similar to Si'er. Feeling the aura she exuded that was completely different from Si'er, she asked curiously, "Xin'er, does your sister have something for you to tell me?"

Xin'er turned her gaze back from her elated little sister and looked at Qinglong with her signature sweet smile. This made Qinglong feel as if she hadn't stopped smiling since she was born.

"No, I came by myself, my sister doesn't know. I'm sneaking here!" She turned her head back to the little sister again and said, "I'll talk about that later." Aren't you going to help them?" Qinglong looked at the little sisters who were surrounded by joy and muttered, "Of course I want to." But how can you help?"

"It's easy!" Xin'er winked at Qinglong and smiled wittily: "Aren't you good friends with the High Priest Lingyue? The High Priest is a kind-hearted person, and he has let the Holy Congregation take in many orphans and help many poor people, isn't it? Wouldn't it be great if you asked someone to send a letter to the High Priest and let the messenger take the two girls to the Holy Congregation for education and help their families find a way out?"

Qinglong clapped his hands and smiled: "I don't see it, you little girl knows a lot! It's a good way, leave it to me!" He walked towards the sisters, Xin'er proudly watched him talk to the sisters, and looked at the sister's face with an extremely grateful expression, and unconsciously showed a relieved smile.

Qinglong and Xin'er walked out of the tailor's shop with the little sister who had changed into new clothes and went straight to the city gate. In the distance, Qinglong saw the soldier who opened the city gate for him twice, and the other party also saw him. Qinglong walked up to him and said gratefully, "Thanks to Your Excellency's help a few times before. The soldier waved his hand casually: "You're welcome, you should be." ”

"There's another thing I'm going to ask you for help with this time. Qinglong brought the little sister to the soldier and told him what had happened, and the soldier agreed, and Qinglong asked for pen and paper to write a letter to him, asking him to hand it over to Lingyue.

It was only at this time that Qinglong suddenly remembered that Xin'er had just said that she had run out secretly, so wouldn't Si'er be in a hurry? She said that she came to find herself, what would happen? Qinglong turned around and asked Xin'er seriously: "Little girl, let's be honest now, what are you doing sneaking out to find me?"

Xin'er said coquettishly: "Wait, you have called me a little girl since we met, am I very young? I am already twenty-five years old, and I am a big girl!" Qinglong looked at her childish little face with a smile and couldn't help but pull the topic back: "Don't interrupt, say, what are you doing here?" Xin'er looked innocently left and right, and muttered twistedly: "I, I like your hair." ”

Her words suddenly made Qinglong stunned, and he asked incredulously: "Hair, what's so much to like about this?" Xin'er put her hands behind her back, and said hesitantly, "Can you carry me?"

Qinglong was full of doubts, and he couldn't guess what this girl was thinking. However, he was sure that the other party had no malicious intent, so he squatted down with his back to her, Xin'er happily jumped on his back, put her arms around his neck, and gently pressed her cheek against the long hair that was scattered behind Qinglong's back, and he carried herself. Satisfied, he said to himself: "It's so comfortable, it's not wrong." It's like that morning when my sister lay on your back. ”

Qinglong couldn't help but look back at her with a smile, and asked casually, "You found out so quickly, when did your sister tell you?" Xin'er raised her head and corrected him loudly: "No." I didn't tell it from my sister, I saw it myself!"

Qinglong didn't believe this child-like bragging, and in turn teased her with a child's tone: "Don't lie to people, how can you see it? Are you a little angel who can know everything in heaven and earth?" He thought that Xin'er would gag a few words to divert the topic, but unexpectedly, she jumped off his back seriously and told what happened: "I really saw that when I was locked up in a cave in the red rock hills by Carl Yiwen, it was very dark and quiet around. I felt very lonely and scared, and I just closed my eyes and thought about my sister's appearance as usual, and I saw you running on the plains, and my sister buried her face in your hair, and her expression was so happy! In fact, every time I think about my sister like this, I will see my sister, and when I see what she is doing, I feel like she is next to me. I'm not afraid!"

Xin'er's childish words made Qinglong keenly aware of the extraordinary significance, and he stared at Xin'er, without a hint of joking on her face. Looking at herself solemnly, and thinking about her performance when she defused Karl Ivan in the palace just now, Qinglong vaguely felt that this weak girl who was powerless. There may be some hidden secrets behind it.

"Can you take me with you?" Xin'er's sudden inquiry interrupted Qinglong's thoughts, and he hesitated. Si'er had just found her sister, and she hadn't had time to talk to her yet. Take her away like this, Si'er is afraid that she will be very sad. But now he really wants to have more contact with this girl to get to know each other better, so as to solve the doubts in his heart, and Xin'er's sweet smile from the bottom of his heart also makes Qinglong's heart extremely warm, and he is a little reluctant to her.

"Are you worried about your sister?" Xin'er guessed what was on his mind, and she advised Qinglong: "Actually, you don't have to worry, my sister will be relieved if she knows that I am with you, and when I came out, the chief priest saw me, and he called me, and I pretended not to hear." Hehe, he must know I'm coming for you, he'll tell my sister. Didn't you say that we'll all see each other again soon, and won't the three of us be able to meet again then?"

Qinglong nodded hesitantly, and said to the soldiers who were looking at them with a smile: "In this case, please tell the high priest again, Miss Xin'er is here, and I will take her with me." I will take good care of her, and ask him to tell Miss Si'er not to worry. The soldier nodded in agreement, and took the two girls to bid farewell to Qinglong and walked towards the palace.

"Let's go, little girl!" Qinglong took Xin'er's hand and walked towards the city gate, Xin'er retorted unhappily: "I didn't even say that you could call me a little girl!" Qinglong rubbed her black and soft short hair with straight ears, looked at her less than her shoulder-height figure, and deliberately teased her: "In front of me, you will always be a little girl!" Xin'er wanted to fight back, but Qinglong smiled mysteriously to stop her from continuing: "Don't talk, let you see a good thing!" He took Xin'er's hand and walked across the moat bridge, and in front of him was the plain of a flat river. The green dragon let out a sharp whistle, and soon a pleasant neighing was heard in the distance, it was like a horse neighing, but it was soft and beautiful, a series of light hooves came, and a white creature instantly stopped in front of the two.

"Wow, what a beautiful horse!" Xin'er ran up to the creature, looking at its clear eyes. Qinglong walked up to her and explained with a smile: "Little girl, this is not a horse, it is a unicorn, this is unique to our Norman Forest, it is a sacred beast of our elven race, and it is the darling of the gods. Among our elves, only the elves who have made significant contributions to the race can only have them after being canonized as unicorn knights with the approval of the Great Elder and the Elven King, and only ten people in the entire clan can receive this honor, and people outside the elf clan have no right to get it even if they have great merit, this is the reward I got from the Elder's House after I stopped the war between humans and elves, and it can be regarded as a great gift from Cal Ivan indirectly to me. ”

"Hmph, let's talk about it, isn't it just to brag about how good she is!" Xin'er raised her head unconvinced and glared at Qinglong, who laughed and hugged her on the unicorn's back. Because there was no saddle, Xin'er couldn't sit on it steadily, and almost slipped down, Qinglong held her with one hand, and gently jumped onto the unicorn's majestic body, caressing its mane. Unicorns keep their heads down quietly, they are more docile than horses, and more spiritual, they can sense the approach of other creatures, especially intelligent creatures, from a great distance, they can see through the intentions of those who come, and easily distinguish between good and bad people, and only those they trust can approach them.

"Sit tight!" Qinglong shouted highly, Xin'er hugged his waist when he heard the voice, his cheeks buried deep in his soft silver hair, Qinglong whispered a few words to the unicorn, and the unicorn let out a soft response, spread its hooves, and disappeared into the field in a blink of an eye.

......

Ling Yue turned the corridor and suddenly bumped into Si'er, seeing her anxious appearance, Ling Yue immediately guessed her thoughts.

"Your Excellency, have you seen my sister?" Si'er asked anxiously, Ling Yue pointed in the direction outside the palace, and said, "I saw her run out just now, I didn't stop her, I think she must have gone to find Qinglong." ”

Si'er was taken aback and shouted, "How can this be done, isn't she going to make trouble?" I'll go find her and come back!" Before the words fell, a soldier came over with two girls, and when he saw Si'er, he immediately stopped and asked respectfully: "Miss, are you Miss Xin'er's sister?" Si'er was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How do you know? Have you seen her?"

Ling Yue also walked over, and the soldier saluted him respectfully, and said, "I have here two letters from His Excellency Sgunelle Qinglong, and I would like to ask the chief priest to take a look." He took a special look at Si'er and said, "There is also a letter about Miss Si'er's sister." ”

Ling Yue took the letter and opened it, looked at the letter, looked at the two girls again, and nodded in agreement: "Well, according to what Qinglong said, send these two girls to the Holy Church School to help their families find a way out to support their families, you take them there." The soldier bowed and left with the two girls.

Ling Yue opened the second letter and read it carefully, with a surprised expression on her face, Si'er looked at him anxiously on the side, not knowing what was going on. Until he turned around and handed the letter to him and said, "See for yourself." Si'er hurriedly took the letter and couldn't wait to read the contents of the letter, but was suddenly stunned: Qinglong actually took her sister away!

"Don't worry too much, Xin'er will be fine with Qinglong, didn't Qinglong say it? You will meet soon, the three of you will get together at that time, you and Qinglong can be together again, and your sister will be by your side, your life will be very happy." ”

Ling Yue's words did not ease the melancholy expression on Si'er's face, but added to the sadness, she shook her head and sighed: "That's impossible, although he doesn't hate me and can understand my suffering, but he can't love me anymore, and I can't get back the feeling I used to have, time has passed, and we are no longer the same as we used to be." After speaking, Si'er turned around and silently disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Ling Yue stared at Si'er's lonely back, shook his head regretfully and lamented, at this moment he very much wanted to pray to the goddess for a way to free her soul shackles, but it was difficult to achieve.

Lingyue didn't know that just when he was grieving for Si'er's soul, the angel of the goddess had already descended to the world, but she did not descend on Si'er's side, but on the head of Noo Li, and brought him a terrible news: "There is a bloody disaster in the whole family within five days, return to rescue quickly, be sure to go to the house in person, and do not leave it to others, remember!"
