The heated argument came to an abrupt end, followed by a long silence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
As the sun sets, the hallway outside the office gets darker.
Gabe had been listening carefully to the movement in the room, but now he heard Artemi sobbing beside him. If so, he turned his head and tried to comfort the little girl beside him, but before the words of comfort could be spoken, Gabe was so shocked by the sight in front of him that he couldn't speak—Artemi actually shined again!
Artemi curled up by the wall, a faint silver light slowly bloomed from her bare skin, only to see her holding a white handkerchief in both hands, her thin shoulders shrugged slightly, dripping with faint silver tears fell on the handkerchief, the square handkerchief actually began to emit a bright light, Gabe's eyes were round, and he thought he was hallucinating, he leaned over to Artemi, and found that at some point, Artemi's skin actually showed a faint silver-gray line, and the faint silver light was emitted by this line。
A little bit of crystal silver flew out of Artemi's body, surrounding Artemi's thin body, floating slowly but irregularly, Gabe was stunned, a little silver slowly floated in front of Gabe, Gabe stretched out his hand carefully, trying to hold this light in the palm of his hand, but before he could touch it, this silver light dissipated.
At this moment, Alan's voice suddenly sounded in the room again.
"Teacher, I want to protect these two children, even if... Even if I can't wake up, I'm sorry, teacher."
Balren looked at Allen's eyes expressionlessly, and found that those eyes were full of apologies, but what was deeper after the apology was full of determination. This made Ballon's heart tighten.
What a similar look, that day, after the beloved woman stabbed the sword at herself, her eyes were also so full of apology and determination.
Ballen subconsciously turned his head to look to the side, and for a moment his heart was full of desolation, he no longer looked at Allen, and said in a cold tone, "You don't need to say this, you gave up on yourself, and it has nothing to do with me, it's just that when I see the wrong person, you can go." ”
"Teacher..."
"From today until the mid-year exam, I won't care about you during this time, and when this semester is over, you can go home"
"Teacher!"
"Let's go, I'm tired. ”
"Okay, teacher, rest early. ”
When he heard Allen's words, "I want to protect the two children", Artemi outside the house stopped sobbing and raised his head in anticipation, and the silver light and silver streaks dissipated without a trace. Gabe was still immersed in the dreamy scene just now, so much so that when the silver light dissipated, he was still scratching at the sparkling light.
The office door creaked open, and Alan walked out with his head down, and Artemi stood up and threw himself on Alan's lap at the first time, hugging Eren tightly.
The sharp pain in the heart came from the place where the two of them touched their skins, but it couldn't withstand the chill in Allen's heart at this time, Alan squatted down and touched Artemi's head with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay, Artemi, Gabe, let's go, it's so late, you're hungry, I'll take you to a delicious dinner." ”
Hearing the dinner, the two children immediately became happy, and they didn't see the bitterness behind Allen's smiling expression.
The night in Delta Town is always more bleak than lively. Fortunately, there was a secluded small restaurant still open, and the proprietors were an honest middle-aged couple who were very enthusiastic, serving hot whole wheat bread and milk to Alan and the two children. By the time the two children finished their snacks on their plates, it was already late at night. After paying the bill, Alan left and right, holding the hands of the two children, slowly walked towards the knight's branch, there was no wind and snow tonight, the night sky was clear, and it was a rare good night.
"Hiccup" Gabe burped, years of wandering life gave him the habit of gobbling up, although Charlie had reminded him many times, but in front of Allen, Gabe was extraordinarily indulgent, because Allen would not be like Charlie, he would only smile and say, slow down, and then wipe the food from the side of his mouth for him.
It feels like a father pampering his child.
Gabe was deeply in love with this feeling, and he bounced all the way, only to gradually feel that Eren seemed to have something on his mind.
Turning a street, the long street in front of it was pitch black, and for some reason, the magical flames on both sides of the road were extinguished. The moonlight was obscured by the residential buildings on both sides, and the night became much darker, and the air began to smell of sulfur at some point, and Allen's nerves suddenly tightened, and he hugged the two children tightly in his arms, and then threw himself on the snow.
Almost at the same time, several large balls of lava fell, and with a loud popping sound, they hit Alan on the snow, and the raging fire suddenly lit up the dark neighborhood.
Immediately afterward, several huge fireballs fell from the sky, splattering lava everywhere, and the air was filled with a scorched smell.
On the roofs of the residential buildings on either side, seven or eight figures in dark red cloaks poked their heads out, trying to look down at the burning flames. One of the figures laughed and said, "This mission is too easy, just kill a waste knight, do you need to use all the guilds?" River, you are getting more and more timid now. ”
A delicate voice came from the side: "This knight is not as powerful as rumored, he died before he reacted, it's a pity that those two children are gone, how can our Law God Guild take on some such tasks, President River~~~ People are tired, let's go back"
A cold voice said: "Hmph, 30,000 gold coins is not a decimal number, this kid's life is really valuable." I have to make sure that our guild successfully completes the mission, you must know that the reason why we can develop from a low-level small guild to the present within half a year is because we will accept all the tasks, otherwise where will we have the money to buy equipment for you, besides, this is not much better than you being robbers in the mountains?
Jiao Didi's voice was full of reluctance, "Hey, President, that little knight must be dead, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a high-level knight, how can he not withstand the attack of seven or eight high-level mages together, I don't think there is any need to let it go." ”
The guy who was called the president looked down intently, and found that the place where Alan was was already a molten slurry, and it seemed that the target had no chance of survival, so he had to nod his head, "Okay, don't delay for a long time to attract the guardians, retreat, go back to the old man to get the gold coins." ”
Soon, the figures of these seven or eight people were hidden in the night.
