The time slowly transitioned to the afternoon, and the originally clear sky gradually covered with a layer of haze. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, and heavy dark clouds were carried by the strong wind and gradually approached. The sky was getting darker, and the air was getting more humid, which was clearly a precursor to an impending thunderstorm.

Green Jiao looked across the horizon with her emerald pupils, the dark clouds surging like an army of black knights, bringing her an ominous and dark aura.

......

Alicia and the others had reached the outside of the detached stone house on the hillside, and they had all tethered their horses to safety in advance. At this time, Alicia stood outside the door, Daron and Zazacha took cover to her left and right, and Kyeloa and Melua stood behind Alicia. Except for Alicia, everyone else had serious expressions and waited for them.

When Alicia was about to open the door, Daron reminded her:

"Alicia be careful, maybe a bow and arrow will shoot directly after opening the door. ”

Alicia originally wanted to say something, but when she turned her head and saw that everyone had serious and serious expressions, she could only swallow what she wanted to say, nodded, and responded:

"Well, I'll be careful. ”

The wooden door was carefully pushed open by Alicia. She tried to move as gently as she could so as not to make a sound, but the old wooden door still made a "creaking" sound. After hearing the noise, everyone became vigilant. Alicia guessed that such a noise might have alarmed the other party, so she didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one and broke into the door directly. At that moment, a dagger struck from the direction of the wall next to the door, and hit Alicia's throat with lightning speed.

"Don't move!"

A clear female voice stopped the actions of everyone behind Alicia, including the murderous aura that Zazacha was about to spew out.

"If you don't want her to die, be honest with me!"

Her golden hair fluttered in the air, and her graceful figure appeared in front of everyone. Valrhona gripped the dagger with her backhand, pressed her body against Alicia's body and used Alicia's body as a shield, threatening everyone.

Daron frowned instantly, and just when he didn't know what to do, a sigh came from the room, and it was because Alicia sighed calmly.

Valrhona arched her well-shaped brows, somewhat enraged by Alicia's actions, and wanted to continue to exert the force of her hand to scare the woman who had no sense of tension. However, there was a sudden sensation of a sharp object hitting her abdomen, so she couldn't help but look down, but she was surprised to see that Alicia had taken out a dagger in her hand at some point, and the white blade was pressed against Valrhona's stomach.

"Put away your weapons, Valrhona, we're not here to fight. Alicia said in as gentle and credible a tone as possible. In fact, she had a dagger in her hand long before entering the room, and when Valrhona pressed her dagger against Alicia's throat, Alicia's dagger also reached Valrhona's abdomen. Valrhona's dagger is in the light, and Alicia's dagger is in the dark. In fact, Valrhona did not find Alicia's dagger, and if Alicia had that idea, she could have stabbed the dagger into Valrhona's stomach and retreated at the same time.

Valrhona's gaze lingered on Alicia's face for a long time, and finally, as if sensing the latter's sincerity from that look, Valrhona finally let off her guard. At the same time, Zazacha tried to rush forward to fulfill his promise to help Valrhona shape her nose, but the bear-like body was blocked by Alicia's hand.

"Alright, I said we're not here to fight. Everyone, put away your weapons. ”

Hearing Alicia's words, Daron and Kyeloa, as well as Melusa, took off their guards.

Valrhona looked at Alicia from the side and said lightly:

"It's only been a few days, and you've changed a lot. ”

"Oh, have you become pretty?" said Alicia, pretending to be strange.

"That hasn't changed......," Valrhona sighed, a smile on her lips. She knew that Alicia had just lost a loved one and might be in a state of collapse. But Alicia couldn't help but become a lot more mature overnight, and she didn't lose her original quirky personality. Seeing Alicia like this made Valrhona feel relieved from the bottom of her heart.

"Now that you have found me, then I have nothing to say, if you want to kill me, you have to listen to the honorable people!"

Valrhona closed her eyes, lifted her chin, and automatically put her hands behind her back. I have to say that this action exposed the curves of her plump body, which made Daron and Kyeloa blush a little. However, there is still a person who is not affected by such beauty in the slightest.

"Oh?~ Now that you're ready, don't blame me for being rude, stinky woman!" Zha Zha Cha rubbed his hands on the side, obviously already angry. As a member of the Yi tribe who adheres to the principle of loyalty, he could not bear betrayal of all kinds, and from the moment Valrhona left the team, Zazhacha had already classified her as an "enemy".

"Zha ~ Zha ~ Tea ~" Alicia suddenly stared at Zazacha with an expression of killing each other with her eyes, which made the brave Zazacha actually couldn't help but feel flinched, and her anger was extinguished by Alicia's eyes, and he couldn't help but wonder if his master had inadvertently learned his gatekeeping skills and released his murderous aura.

"I don't want to repeat what I've said. Alicia said sharply at Zazacha, glancing at the others, and that look made Daron shiver.

Seeing Alicia's momentum, Melufa's whole little heart trembled, could this be a precursor to the transformation from a Ming monarch to a tyrant? ?

"Come on!" Valrhona said loudly.

Alicia looked back and saw that Valrhona was still in that position, her whole head raised higher, along with her breasts......

"Bang!"

It was the first time Daron had seen Alicia hit anyone other than himself, and he was stunned. Valrhona's head received a critical blow from Alicia's Iron Fist, and she was immediately stunned.

"Come on, sit down for me!" Alicia's expression was a little gloomy, and there seemed to be a bruise on her forehead, "Where's my money?"

No matter when, sure enough, Alicia is most concerned about this thing.

"Now that you've found me, I can pay you back the money, but I've already used half of it. Valrhona said with a sense of accord.

"I think you're a little impatient......" This time it was Daron's turn to pull Alicia, and when she heard Valrhona's words, she suddenly became blue-faced and fanged, and her eyes showed a fierce light, which was even more terrifying than a demon. Zazacha looked at her master dumbfounded, it turned out that she stopped herself in order to lynch Valrhona, what a terrible master.

"That ......" a loli voice whispered, and everyone turned to look at the girl who hid her small body in a wide black robe, including Alicia who struggled to shake off Daron and gritted her teeth to rush over and beat Valrhona.

"I know Sister Valrhona, you're not a bad person, you must have some kind of trouble that is why you want to 'borrow' our money, right?"

Meluva looked at Valrhona from behind the lenses with her big watery eyes, and her expression faltered. Kyeloa glanced at his disciple with appreciative eyes. Meluva said this, on the one hand, it can resolve the deadlock, and on the other hand, it also gives Valrhona a step, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

“...... There's nothing hard about it. Valrhona looked down at her floor with a sad look in her eyes.

At this time, Alicia's expression returned to normal, broke free of Daron's arm, and said to Valrhona:

"It's because of your brother, right?"

Valrhona suddenly raised her head and glared at Alicia, their eyes met each other, and after a stalemate for a while, Valrhona relaxed, and the whole person felt a sense of weakness and said:

"It seems that I can't hide it, so come in. ”

With that, Valrhona got up and opened a door to the inner room.

The rest of the people looked at each other, and then walked in one by one.

It was a modest room, and the sunlight was shining through the stone windows on the white sheets. On the wooden bed next to the window lay a little boy of eight or nine years old, who was sitting on the bed with his upper body propped up, and the quilt covered his legs. His twinkling eyes twitched, and he looked at the people who entered the room one by one with some fear.

"Sister, who are these people?" a weak voice came from the boy's mouth, and Alicia felt distressed when he heard it.

"Don't worry, it's okay, these people are my sister's friends. "When he was outside just now, the little boy didn't make a sound, probably Valrhona had already heard Alicia and their movements, so let him not make a noise before going outside.

"Oh, hello!" the little boy smiled reassuringly when he heard that they were his sister's friends, and greeted everyone.

And Alicia and the others responded to the smile one by one and greeted the little boy.

"This is my brother, whose name is Joshua. Don't be afraid, Joshua, the doctor is coming soon. To Alicia's surprise, Valrhona suddenly lost her usual arrogant posture in front of her younger brother and became a gentle and caring older sister.

"Is he sick?" asked Alicia.

In fact, she had already deduced this result, but she didn't know what kind of disease he had. Valrhona just said that she used half of Alicia's money, which should have been used to treat her brother. However, that's more than 7,000 gold coins! 8,000 gold coins can be used to buy a large sailing ship, what kind of illness did Valrhona's brother have that cost so much?

Valrhona didn't answer, but lifted the quilt that covered her brother's legs.

And the moment the quilt was lifted, everyone was stunned. A bolt of lightning lit up at exactly then, and the thunder that followed tugged at everyone's heartstrings.

Joshua's lower body has no legs, and there are two stone sculptures that resemble legs.
