In the depths of the night, a woman in old clothes walked wearily down a dark alley, having just finished her day's work, holding in her arms a piece of hardened bread that had been left over from yesterday from a corner bakery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Even though her stomach was hungry, she was reluctant to bite into the unpalatable food in her arms, because her children were still at home waiting for her return, and the bread in her arms was the only food for her and her son, as well as her seriously ill husband, tonight and tomorrow morning and afternoon.

The streets were quiet, it was dark everywhere, and the dilapidated houses on both sides of the road showed ghostly shadows, but the woman was not in the mood to be afraid at this time, and the exhaustion and hunger forced her to concentrate with all her strength and drag her body into the house.

When she pushed open the leaky door and walked into the room, forcing a smile and calling out her son's name, a boy of seven or eight years old ran out of the humble room without candles, rushed to her and shouted: "Mommy, mommy, look, we have money, we have money!"

"Silly boy, what are you talking about?" the child's mother did not understand what the child meant, but looked at her son with a gentle smile that coaxed the child, put the bread on the broken table with half of the legs missing and made of bricks, and said softly, "Eat quickly, it's so late, you must be hungry." ”

She was about to turn around and go into the house to see her seriously ill husband, but her son grabbed her and shouted, "Mom, look at this!"

The child's mother looked down at the cloth bag handed to the child in front of her suspiciously, and found that it was very heavy with her hand, she opened the cloth bag but was shaken by the silver coin inside, the woman reached out in surprise and took out a handful of silver coins from it, and the whole person was instantly stunned.

"Where did this come from?" she threw the money on the table in surprise, as if they were a timed bomb that would explode at any moment, and she crouched down in front of the child and looked at him solemnly and asked, "Are you stealing? How can you have so much money?"

"I didn't steal, Mom. The boy looked at her a little aggrieved and said, "Just now someone knocked on our door, and when I went to open the door, I found that there was no one outside the door, and there was this money bag on the ground. ”

"How can this be?" The woman was at a loss for a moment, then suddenly got up and picked up the money bag and ran out the door, looking left and right at the empty alley for a moment, but there was no shadow of anyone, and then the child came out from behind her and asked, "Mom, is it an angel who has come to help us?"

The woman shook her head at a loss, touched her son's head with her hand, and heard him say excitedly: "Dad said that God will send angels to help good people, as long as we don't do bad things, God will not forget us, and He will send angels to save us." ”

"Maybe, I think your dad is right. The child's mother nodded emotionally, turned her head to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, squatted down and said to the child, "Let's thank those angels together." She bowed her head in prayer with the boy and then turned back into the house.

On the roof of a nearby house, Rogge sat on the eaves silently smoking a pipe, Catherine sat beside him, her eyes still fixed on the place where the mother and son had disappeared, she gently wiped her moist eyes with her hand, and a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

"This must not be the first time you've done this, have you?" she asked, gently resting her head on Rog's shoulder.

"I can't remember how many times this is. Rogge calmly watched the smoke rise from his pipe into the night sky, and said to Catherine, "Basically, as long as I have more than ten gold coins in my hand, and I have nothing to do, I will go around the slums." ”

"The boy was right, you were an angel sent to them by heaven. Catherine gently put her arm around him and looked up at him with admiration.

"Really?" said Roger with a smile and shrugged his shoulders, "I've always felt like a demon wandering through the night! ”

He put away his pipe and stretched, looked up at the vast night sky, and said, "Come on, whether it's angels or demons, we should all go find some supper to cushion our stomachs, and now if we go back to Klose's house, the eight adults have already slept, so let's go to the tavern and find something to eat." ”

He and Catherine jumped off the roof, found the freight carriage parked nearby along the road, and saw little Lolit Lilith lying on the carriage touching her little belly and burping, Rogge sat down next to her and touched her little belly and asked, "Have you eaten all the snacks the chef gave you?"

"Hiccup, I haven't eaten them all, but you're too slow, why did it take so long, I'm so bored here!" Lilith said as she pouted and stared at Rogge.

"At least you didn't treat your little belly badly. Rogge flicked his finger on her round belly, and Lilith rolled over at once, slapped his little hand on the back of his hand and shouted, "Don't bounce my belly, what if you spit out the delicious food?"

"Okay, okay, how about I discuss something with you?" Rogge looked down at her with a kind face, and Xiao Lori became vigilant when she saw him like this, staring at him cautiously and asking, "What are you going to do?"

"How about we have a late-night snack? It's so late, can't Catherine and I go back hungry?" asked Rogge, smiling and raising an eyebrow at her.

"I don't want to have a treat!" Little Lori glared at the small money bag on her waist and shouted: "Bad wolf, you have so much money, and you still beat me for money!"

"The problem is that I don't have any money here. Rogge tore his empty money bag from his waist and said, "Just now I gave the last money on my body to the last family, and now I don't even have a copper coin in my hand." ”

"Then I won't treat you either!" said Lori, stubbornly pouting and staring at him.

"Don't do that, right?" Rogge slanted his eyebrows and looked at her vigilant expression and said, "Why, I'm also here as an angel, you can't let me be an angel for a while, and go home hungry, right?"

"Are you an angel?" Little Lori looked at Rogge curiously for a long time, rubbed the stubble on his face with her little hand and said, "Is it an angel with a face on the ground?

Rogge stared at her helplessly for a while, scratched her little nose with his hand and said, "Little wealth fan, keep your money, miser!" and jumped off the carriage.

As he walked to the coachman's place, he said to Catherine, who had come up, "See, don't be an angel just like me, after all, real angels don't need to eat, and we have to go hungry!"

Catherine couldn't help but snicker with Monica, who was sitting on her shoulder, and she sat down next to Rogge and said, "Shall I invite the angel to dinner?"

Before Rogge could answer, Lilith in the carriage suddenly poked her head out of the small window behind the two of them and shouted, "Stupid girl wants to have a dinner, I'm going too!"

"People invite angels to dinner, and you're not an angel, little villain!" said Rogge, knocking on the door of her little head.

"I'm the cutest little angel, stupid girl, are you right!" Lilith turned into a little owl and flew out of the window, landed in Catherine's arms, and turned back into little Lori, arching her little head into her arms and rubbing it as she cried.

Catherine couldn't help but take Lilith in her arms, and drove with Rogge to the front tavern for dinner, and then returned to Klose's home.

The next day, news circulated throughout the city of Khan that an angel who had never seen his true face had sent life-saving money to hundreds of families in the slums of Khan overnight because of illness, disability, orphans, women and children, and even homeless beggars were funded.

In this regard, Rogge and Catherine, who heard all kinds of rumors, kept silent, and stayed at Klose's house with Antonio and Tali to wait for the restoration of the Hallows, and Klose, who had recovered from the kidnapping case, soon began the final restoration work, and finally restored the Hallows as new as new.

When he handed over the repaired white jade rod to Antonio, the knight commander saw that there was a pure gold metal hoop at the crack on the rod, and reconnected the broken rod together, not only did not show any signs of destruction, but it was more noble and elegant.

Seeing that the Sacred Artifact was intact and no longer leaking out the dark energy sealed in it, Antonio's heart that had been hanging was finally relieved, and he invited Klose and his wife to a banquet at the Holy Congregation Temple in Khan Fort City, where everyone drank heartily to celebrate the restoration of the Artifact and the safe return of Klose.

After the artifact was restored, Rogge and Antonio discussed and decided to take a short break in the city of Khanburg, and then set off for the imperial capital to return the artifact to the Holy Emperor.

That evening, as Tully stood on the sunset street, smelling the salty sea breeze wafting from the southern harbor in the air, she couldn't help but feel a trace of nostalgia for her hometown, she hadn't returned to the embrace of the sea for a long time, and she missed her people and the feeling of embracing the sea.

"You seem to have something on your mind?" asked Antonio, who stepped forward from behind her, in a caring whisper.

"Nothing, just a little homesick. Tali sighed softly and said, "The second artifact has been repaired, only the statue of the archangel remains, and in the blink of an eye, it has been a few months since it was stolen from the temple, and my mission is still not complete." ”

"Don't worry," Antonio comforted as he gently wrapped his arms around her shoulder, "and when we return the artifact to the Imperial Capital, we can begin to prepare for a decisive battle with William, and we will reclaim the Archangel statue from the Shadow Fortress, and then you can go home." ”

"Go home......" Tali repeated wistfully, smiling and looking up at Antonio, "Whose house are you going back to?"

Antonio looked down at her with a meaningful smile on his face, gently hugged her in his arms and said, "Your home is my home, let's go back together, take me to your temple, let me see your boudoir." ”

Tali smiled shyly, Antonio gently hugged her in his arms, Tali rested her head on his shoulder, and watched the last rays of the sunset with him, and after a moment she said, "Can you accompany me to see the sea tonight?"

Antonio readily agreed, and after having dinner at Klose's house, the two of them left the city of Khanburg, and walked hand in hand to the port of Khanburg, which was now empty, except for a few merchant ships that had come from afar with lights on.

The two stopped on the pier, listening to the sound of the waves crashing on the pier, enjoying a rare sense of tranquility.

Suddenly, Antonio pointed to a ball of light that shimmered in the darkness on the beach not far away and said, "Behold, what is that glowing?"
