Chapter 8: The Golden Fairy (6)
The three who left the restaurant did not say a word along the way.
With Ai Yue's character, Xiang must have been unable to endure such silence for a long time, and as for the questions she wanted to ask, Ai Lian probably guessed something.
"Now, Victoria, who is the blonde drill man?" Ai Yue tilted her head, obviously a little unhappy about the sudden appearance of the blonde drill officer, but Ai Lian probably guessed that it was probably the police officer who disturbed Ai Yue's meal time.
There was no answer.
The only thing that responded to Ai Yue was the ribbon-like blonde hair, and the sad eyes.
Broken house.
The dilapidated house at the far edge of the town is not a secret garden for the homeless, it may seem uninhabited, but as in all fairy tales, a dark-haired boy and a silver-haired girl meet a blonde fairy here.
In this dilapidated house, where the gate is about to collapse at any moment, lives a golden goblin.
A fairy who is about the same height as a teenage girl, maybe even shorter, about one hundred and forty centimeters. He was dressed in a gorgeous Gothic costume from the Western continent, decorated with lace and ribbons. She had long, blonde hair that looked like a shawl, and Eren probably felt longer than her height.
She looks like a child, but her ceramic-like cold side face that has been hung for a long time makes it impossible for Elian to tell whether she is an adult or a child.
Victoria's eyes opened, shining with an almost transparent emerald green, echoing the Charald Snow Mountains not far away, if someone said that Victoria was a fairy coming down from the Snow Mountains, Eren would definitely agree immediately.
However, in the eyes of the villagers in the town, this girl who has the beauty of a doll is not a symbol of happiness.
It's better to say that it is an existence that is trying to avoid.
"Gray wolf... Eren whispered. "If there really is such a beautiful gray wolf in the world, then isn't the existence of the gray wolf the most wonderful creature that God has ever given us?"
Hearing Ellian's whisper, Victoria froze. After a moment, she stared at Eren tightly with her transparent eyes, and whispered, "Would you like to... Help me?"
The hoarse voice of an old man came from her small mouth. The voice that does not match the beautiful appearance of the fairy is extremely inconsistent.
But Eren smiled, and he laughed happily.
"Willing to serve you, beautiful lady!"

"Blois is my brother, the only one who appeared with that woman, but did not disappear in the end. ”
Victoria looked up at Elian, her emerald eyes clouded with some mist, was it because it was night? or because...
Without waiting for Elian to speak, Victoria continued to tell her story.
After all, her self-styled personality may be one of the reasons why the townspeople hate her. Because he was interrupted, Elian began to muttered in his heart with bad intentions.
However, it can't be that simple.
Dislike... No, disgusting a person is not something that can be done so easily.
And in the eyes of those villagers, there was more fear than disgust.
"The woman died at the end of spring, in the hotel where she was staying. Blois was left alone and lived in the town. Victoria paused slightly, and the hand holding the hem of the skirt worked harder.
Soon, Victoria let go of her hand, as if she had let something go. There was an indescribable sadness in her eyes. Was it because her father had left her, or was it because this so-called brother had robbed her of everything?
Alan didn't know, but he believed that Victoria would tell him everything.
"My father used to say that the woman would not die. She died, and maybe that's the town's curse. Victoria laughed helplessly, but found that she couldn't laugh at all.
"Then Blois stayed at our house, and my father said he owed the woman. ”
"And then ... There is no then. I've forgotten a lot of things in between. Now, as you can see, this is my home. Victoria's hoarse voice slowly lowered.
At this time, even Ai Yue, who had never been troubled, lost her smile. Perhaps, sadness is as simple as that.
At this moment, Elian didn't know what to say to comfort the girl in front of her. Maybe it would be better not to say anything, but Eren felt that he should say something.
"So. What about your commission?" said Eren in a deliberately relaxed tone, perhaps he just wanted to empty the heavy air in the room a little.
"Commission?" this time it was the turn of the girl, who had been expressionless, to show a surprised expression.
Seeing the girl's expression, Elian was also relieved, if she had to face Victoria's cold face all the time, although it was cute, she always felt that something was missing.
The breath of a man? maybe.
However, the expression of surprise was only fleeting, and Victoria immediately regained the coldness of the first meeting: "I have no money!"
Maybe it was shyness, Victoria, who said this, immediately turned his head and said nothing.
"Money, I don't want that vulgar thing. If you want to get paid, I'll take it myself, so you can rest assured. Elian's hearty smile made Victoria's neck flush a little, and if Eren saw Victoria's expression at this time, he would definitely be surprised.
Then the girl took a breath and turned around to say something.
But because she was puffing out her cheeks at the moment, her words sounded to Elian, just a girl's coquettishness.
The night is coming in quickly, and tonight may be a little warmer. Is it because spring has already begun? Maybe.
It was the early spring of 359 in the Irish calendar.
The northernmost town in mainland Ireland, the town of Death.
The town of Death, known for its strange tales, may be located in the far north of mainland Ireland, but it is full of travelers, especially at the beginning of spring.
The traveler from afar is a young man with black hair and black eyes and a young girl with silver hair and silver eyes.
What kind of changes will their arrival bring to this small town that is not peaceful in itself?
Whether it is good or bad, who knows what will happen in the future?
