"Hey, don't cry. Under the sudden cry, the first to panic was Vivien. No matter how knowledgeable a genius is, no matter how powerful her combat power is, she can't hide the fact that she has been lying in bed for more than ten years, and her heart is closer to a child, so when the low and majestic voice suddenly turned into a little girl's sharp cry, Vivian felt as if she had done something bad, and hurriedly comforted the skeleton in front of her who was taller than herself: "Don't cry, don't cry, I put the bottle away, we won't bully you, don't cry." ”

Skeletron covered his face, or rather covered his two black hole eyes, heard Vivien's words and cried, seemed to secretly observe the five people around him for a few seconds, and cried again: "Wow, wow, I don't believe it, you all bully me, you are all bad people, wow, wow, wow, I want to find my mother, woo woo woo." ”

Vivien rubbed the soft hat on her head in distress and looked at Lina for help, but Lina smiled bitterly and shook her head helplessly, saying that she had no way to solve the dilemma in front of her. Vivien turned her eyes to Catherine for help, Catherine also sighed with a headache, walked to the Skeletron who was squatting on the ground, stretched out her hand and hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and put her hand on Skeletron's bare skull, stroked it twice and said: "Child, don't cry yet, it was my brothers and sisters who were wrong just now, we shouldn't scare you, we apologize to you." Don't worry, as long as you don't attack us, we won't hurt you. ”

"Really?" It seems that Catherine is born with the characteristic of making children trust and be close, whether it is the little banshee Anne or this skeleton, they all show special trust in Catherine, hearing Catherine's promise, Skeletron gradually stopped crying, and asked tentatively, "Really don't hurt me?"

"Well, we're not bad people, and we won't hurt people casually. Catherine smiled mildly and said, "You see, just now it was outside that you hit us first before we scared you, as long as you are not hostile, we will not attack you." ”

"I'm sorry. Skeletron lowered his head and apologized, "I didn't mean to hurt you, but I was a little scared to see you getting closer and closer here, so I controlled the others to try to drive you away." ”

"It's okay, it's all just a misunderstanding. Catherine followed Skeletron's words and said, "So don't be sad, let's sit down and have a good talk, shall we?"

"Okay, but sister wait a minute. Skeletron's arm was raised, and just as he wanted to make a move, he suddenly stopped again and asked, "You really won't hurt me, will you, and you will chat with me well?"

"Of course. Catherine was not impatient, and replied again patiently: "I promise as a knight that I will not hurt you." ”

"I believe in my sister. Skeletron pressed his hands on the half-armored sternum, easily snapped off a few ribs, and pulled a small skull out of the empty chest. The skull is small, clearly belonging to a child, and there are two short horns on the top of the head, which looks like it should belong to the deer people among the orcs. Skeletron took out his skull and held it in his hand, and beside him, an inconspicuous headless skeleton suddenly moved, and took the small skull and placed it on his cervical vertebrae.

After the skull was removed, Skeletron was controlled by the little skeleton to step aside, like the rest of the Skeleton Knights who were guards, standing motionless like a stake. The little skeleton moved its neck from side to side and nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Catherine, clicked its jaw a few times, and did not speak.

"Annie, come out and help. Catherine smiled and tapped the pendant on her chest: "Help her cast a spell again, so that she can communicate with us in words." ”

"Huh?" the little banshee poked her head out of the pendant and looked, suddenly jumped out of the pendant, and said in surprise: "Brothers and sisters, who is this little guy?"

"This king is not a little guy. "It looks like Anne has done her job, and the little skeleton can already speak normally. She crossed her waist and glared at the little banshee and said: "This king is the king of this grassland, it is dozens here, no, hundreds, no, thousands, or not, anyway, it is the ruler of many, many skeletons here, you transparent monster actually dare to call me little guy, I want to teach you a good lesson, so that you can learn how to respect such a great existence as this king." ”

"But you're a little guy in the first place. Anne tilted her head cutely, ran to the little skeleton to compare her height, bit her fingers suspiciously, and said, "Look, you are shorter than me, and so thin, you must be a little guy." ”

"Nonsense, this king is the greatest Skeleton King. The little skeleton bared her teeth and claws and threatened the little banshee: "You are the ruler of this land, you step on the territory of this king, why don't you kneel down for this king." ”

"You two. Catherine knocked on each of the two little undead's heads: "Don't quarrel if you get along well, now apologize to each other and say sorry." ”

"Well, you're lying. The little skeleton hugged his head aggrievedly and squatted aside: "Say okay and don't bully me." ”

"Huh?" Catherine looked at the skeleton with a smirk. The small skeleton is indeed very small, the entire skeleton is less than a meter tall including the horns on the head, and each bone is slender and slender, giving people the illusion that it will break when touched, but the skeleton is indeed different, not like the miserable white of other skeletons, but covered with a warm luster like ivory. Under the pressure of Catherine's unique staring style of elders, the little skeleton's muttering voice became smaller and smaller, and finally reluctantly compromised, and whispered, "I'm sorry, it's me who is wrong." ”

"Hmph. The little banshee smug crossed her waist, and just wanted to say some victory declaration, she was knocked on the top of her head again by Pannis, and then bent down on the top of her head, so she had to apologize: "It's me who is not good, I apologize." ”

The scene of the elders educating the children to help the children mediate the conflict made the other three ladies feel very helpless, Lina rubbed her head with a headache and muttered in a low voice: "Why did things suddenly become like this, it's so strange." Aren't we here to solve the problem, why did it become a coaxing child in the blink of an eye?"

"The world is changing. Vivien casually said an old proverb, not knowing whether to comfort or self-soothing.

"Anyway, it's better to coax a child than to fight. Marcia was satisfied with the situation in front of her, nodded and said, "Everyone live in peace, there is no better development than this." ”

"Let's go, let's go down and talk. Catherine took the little skeleton's slender hand and walked down the mountain of bones, and the little skeleton obediently followed. Holding her hand, Catherine felt that the bones of her hand were cold but smooth and dry, not at all the disgusting and terrifying rancid smell and slippery feeling of the skeleton. Walking down the Bone Mountain, two 'people', one big and one small, sat down on the ground, and Catherine pulled the little skeleton and asked, "What's your name?"

"Well, I know, don't stare at me like that. The little skeleton changed his name under Catherine's forced gaze: "My name is Xiaolu, also known as Hopping, but everyone in my family calls me Xiaolu." ”

"Huh?" asked Catherine, confused, "Don't you have a name?"

"The fawn is the name. The little skeleton asked curiously, "Didn't I say that?"

"Orcs have a rite of passage at the age of ten, and at the age of twelve. Pannis also walked down with Anne in his arms, and explained to Catherine: "Only children who have had a coming-of-age ceremony will have an official name, and they were only called by nicknames. ”

"Oh, yes, I forgot. Catherine slapped her forehead and said with a wry smile, "Okay, then we'll call you fawn?"

"Yes, okay. The fawn nodded in reply, as if it made her happy to hear someone call her again.

"So, little deer, can you tell your brothers and sisters what is going on here?" asked Catherine, "and, if it's convenient, can you tell your brothers and sisters about you?"

"What's going on?" Xiaolu tilted her head, although only the expression on her skeletal face could not be seen, but everyone actually saw the doubts in her heart from the beating soul fire: "Nothing happened." ”

"This ......," said Catherine, embarrassed, "can you tell us about your past......?" Things to do when you were alive. And then tell me what happened when you woke up this time?"

"Oh, that's what my sister is asking. The fawn scratched his head very humanely, and closed his mandibles as if he was giggling: "Actually, when I was still alive, I don't remember very clearly." ”

"It doesn't matter. Catherine was amused by a skeleton making these movements, but she felt a pang of sadness, and she couldn't laugh at all: "Say as much as you remember, forget what you can't remember, don't force it." ”

"Wait a minute. Pannis suddenly interrupted the communication between the man and the skeleton, looked back at the canyon behind him known as the Holy Spirit Corridor, frowned and said: "We have delayed too much time, the scale of the battle just now is a bit large, and the undead who were thrown away behind have already followed, first find a way to solve those skeletons, and then concentrate on telling the story." ”

Several girls turned pale, each stood up and took out their weapons, just a few minutes of short rest, not only failed to make everyone regain their strength, but felt more tired in their bodies. Lina and Vivian glanced at each other, and said with some embarrassment: "My magic power has bottomed out, and now it is a bit of a waste to drink the potion, not to say that the potion is wasted, but the number of times the potion is used is wasted." ”

"I'm about the same. Vivien followed and said, "I'm almost at the limit of absorbing the energy in the spar, and if I continue to absorb it, it will probably cause the magic channel to backlash, so I don't dare to absorb it anymore now." ”

"Then it's up to the three of us to delay for the time being. Catherine raised her shield and couldn't help frowning, even with her physical fitness, she felt that the shield had become heavy: "Pennis, how many are coming?"

"I can't count. The corner of Pannis's eyes jumped: "Many, many." ”

"What's the matter, brothers and sisters, you don't want to see them?" The little skeleton fawn looked at the few people with sudden serious expressions strangely, and nodded knowingly: "That...... Well, I drove them away. ”

"Huh?" the ladies looked at the little skeleton in amazement, "how much can you control?"

"I can't. The fawn replied, "But I can give them the illusion that you are no longer here, and they will naturally chase after you and leave." ”

"Okay, now we can talk in peace. Catherine smiled and sat down in front of the fawn again. (To be continued.) )
