Chapter 227: The Truth of Meiyi's Eyes
After dinner, Kira took Betty's notebook and took Belia to live in Brigitte's mansion - Brigitte was promoted to Count of Northtown by Queen Zeno for her role in fighting the invasion of the Beasts, and Northtown became her personal domain. She would return to Beicheng every three months, and the rest of the time Shath was in charge of Beicheng's government and military affairs.
Brigitte led Kira into the room where Mei Yi had lived, and said, "Queen, your husband has lived here for a while, and I think you must want to live here." I live next door, please feel free to call me if you have anything. β
Kira nodded, leaving only her bodyguard, the Minister of Industry and Innovation of the Myrovi Kingdom, Wind Zero, and the two of them studied Betty's notes together.
Wind Kite and the others secretly protect their queen all the time. Wind Kite's men are scattered throughout the surrounding cities, and they begin to inquire and gather information - many of her men are Brigitte's old subordinates, subhumans, so there is no need to worry about being suspected.
Kira looked at the notebook showing faint handwriting, looked at it carefully, and began to be frightened when he looked at it.
This is how it happened.
Meiyi doesn't know anything at all!

"Dad is dead, mom is dead, Betty and my sister are starving. The uncle's sons, Bega and Bebe, told Betty that they would give Betty food as long as Betty asked them to touch it. Before Betty could speak, her sister chased them away with a stick, and Betty and her sister were beaten and driven out of the house. That's all Betty has of that home before her. β
After coming to Xiaoshi Village, Betty and her sister built a small house and had a piece of land of their own with the help of their neighbors. It's hard work, but you can eat enough every day. Betty also made a lot of good friends, Skadi, Orange, Sylvo. But Betty's best friend was Pelty, and she was the prettiest girl in the village, better looking than the girls in the city, and many boys whistled at her and sent her love letters, but she said she didn't like anyone. Alas, why doesn't anyone like Betty? Betty is twelve years old, why is she still so short? β
"Today is Betty's birthday, and it was supposed to be Betty's happiest day. However, my sister suddenly said that she was going to North City to join the army, which ruined Betty's good mood. Betty cried and refused to let her sister go, but her sister must go, vowing to avenge her parents after becoming a high official. It's been almost ten years, and Betty has no hatred in her heart, and she doesn't know why her sister has never been able to get by. Betty cried for a long time and was scared when she went to bed at night. When Betty heard a knock on the door, her soul flew away. It wasn't until she heard Pelty's voice that Betty really put her mind at ease. Pelty teaches Betty to practice swords every day, saying that she will protect Betty, and Betty must protect herself. Betty loves the feeling of being protected. β
"Today, Betty was really angry. Betty went to the city to worship her parents and grandparents, and made a lot of delicious food to bring over, and when Betty was silently crying, the uncle's family who worshiped her grandparents suddenly came over and sneered at Betty. Bega and Bebe came over and kicked the food I had cooked for Mom and Dad, and Betty managed to hold back her anger, packed up her things, and went home to cry. Betty told Pelty that it would be nice if Betty could have a brother like Pelty. Perti's older brother often punches boys who want to bully Perti with his fists. β
"Today, Betty's soul is scared away. The reason is thundershowers. Betty closed the door and window and hid under the covers, but the thunder was still loud. Betty was so frightened that she hid under the bed, screaming and crying in pain. But no one listened. It would be nice if my sister was around, my sister is a strong girl, and she will always come forward to protect Betty. Betty must find her sister and never leave her again. β
"Betty saw Bega today when she was selling hares on the street. He said he wanted to talk to Betty, and Betty saw that he had no ill intentions, so she agreed. At Betty's house, he suddenly wants to tear Betty's clothes, saying that he wants Betty to sleep with him. Betty resisted desperately, but the boy's strength was too great. Just as he was about to take off Betty's skirt, Pelty came. She took up her sword and drove Bega away, and scolded me so badly that I was not allowed to be alone with the boy in the future. If I have a boy I like, I must show her first, and only if she nods. β
"Today is Betty's fifteenth birthday. According to the laws of the kingdom, you can get married at the age of fifteen. Pelty gave me a thick pile of letters, saying that they were all letters written to me by the boys she had withheld, and that she would not bother with Betty's private affairs in the future. Betty is already an adult. After reading those letters, Betty realized that everyone thought Betty was beautiful and cute. Hee-hee, I'm so happy. However, Betty doesn't like them very much, Betty likes powerful men who can protect Betty and her sister. β
"By the time I was fifteen, things suddenly changed for a lot. Betty often went to the temple to study, practicing swordsmanship with the village militia against the beasts that occasionally destroyed the crops. These little beasts are small but terrible, and according to Pelty, they not only kill cattle and sheep, but also steal small children, insult girls and eat them. God, I don't want to fall into their hands, I'd rather die! β
"Before my father died, he left Betty a very old book. At that time, Betty didn't know a few words, so she never read them. After coming to Xiaoshi Village, Betty has always insisted on going to the temple to learn to read and write, and she has learned a lot of words. Daddy was supposed to be a storybook for Betty. It's just that this storybook is a bit scary. Betty flipped through it and placed it in the dark compartment under the bed. Darkly still hid Betty's money saved, and when Betty saved enough money, she would take a carriage to find her sister. β
"Today, the undying Bega has come to pester me again. Barr, who was hunting near my house, ran over and drove Bega away. I was about to say thank you to Barr, but he ran away with a red face. This big man is a little confusing. When Betty goes to the temple of the goddess, she makes a wish to the girl that she can have an older brother. But the goddess said that our goddess of the subhumans would not grant anyone's wishes. β
It was another thunderstorm, and Betty was hiding under her bed, shivering with fear. Suddenly, a loud voice rang out in front of Betty's house, and Betty seemed to hear a faint human voice. Covering her ears and finally reaching the window, Betty saw a strange man - his ears were so strangely shaped, unlike almost all subhumans, no tail, black hair, black eyes, and covered in blood. Betty felt a little strange in her heart, could it be that the goddess heard Betty's wish? β
"This is not the brother Betty wants, he is dirty, smelly, covered in blood, and very badly injured. However, Betty couldn't let him go, so she dragged him home, boiled hot water, took off his shabby clothes, helped him scrub his body, and changed him into men's clothes bought from the bazaar - Betty was still the first time to see a man's body, and she was too shy to do it, and it was a little strange, Pelty said that men and women can have children together, but how can they have children? β
After cleaning him up, Betty brought in another herb, crushed it and applied it to his wound. I don't know if it's my delusion, but his wounds heal very quickly. It didn't take long to recover almost. He couldn't eat anything, so Betty fed him rice soup every day. Although he was a little strange, he was quite good-looking when he was cleaned, better than all the men in the village. β
"It's a pity that such a good-looking man has one eye missing......"
Qiluo said with a solemn expression: "Feng Ling, you see, Mei Yi didn't have eyes when she first arrived in the subhuman kingdom, so to speak, this eye was obtained when she was in the subhuman kingdom, it seems that this mystery can finally be solved today." β
Feng Ling's heart was also pounding: "Yes, Miss, hurry up and turn down." My heart hangs in the air. β
"My sister never let Betty get close to any man, and Betty has always listened to her sister very much. However, this man is very different, with a righteous face, and from time to time, tears roll down, and he mutters two names - Kira and Serena. It must be his sister, Betty thought. β
It was another thunderstorm, and Betty was so frightened that she hid under the bed, but she was still scared to death. Betty shouted desperately, hoping that her voice would be louder than thunder, so that she would not be afraid. On the night of the thunderstorm, the death of the father, the mother who was forced to die, the vicious uncle and uncle and his son, all came to my heart. β
Betty crawled on the floor in fright, hid beside the stranger, got under his covers, took his hand, and seemed to be at peace with all of a sudden. Although he was still unconscious, he seemed to have been saying to me all the time, "Betty, don't be afraid, I am the brother that the goddess has sent for you." Suddenly, his hand moved, and I felt a force in my hand, as if he was comforting me. β
Kira wiped away her tears and turned the page again, which read, "Betty is starting to like this brother more and more. Betty thought of the book her father had left for Betty before he left. It seems to be said in the book that there are some ways to get people back to health quickly. Even though it was only a storybook, Betty had to believe in the stories. Betty looked up the book, and the first was the art of resurrection, which relied on the energy conversion between the opposite sex. However, that required an artifact, and Betty couldn't do it. β
"The second is a type of magic called 'miracles'. Legend has it that travelers from the far south once performed this wonderful healing technique. It can restore health by promoting the accelerated differentiation of a small thing in the human body. Betty was a little frustrated, and this Betty couldn't do it either. β
Just when Betty was a little disappointed, a third approach appeared in the bookβthe Fountain of Life. The location of the legendary Fountain of Life is actually in the Southern Forest, where small beasts often haunt, not very far from Betty's home. Betty wanted to go, but she was too scared. My brother's condition is getting worse and worse, his eyes have begun to be red and rotten, and his breath is getting weaker and weaker. β
"When I was practicing swordsmanship in the temple, I heard from the priest that the little beast was afraid of the sun and rose out of the day and night, so I decided to go to the southern forest to have a look. Betty borrowed a pony that Pelty's brother had bought for her from the city, and on a hot noon, she sailed into the Southern Forest, following the route marked in the book. β
