Tiana, Tiana......

A soft call came from her ears, and the girl lying under the tree slowly opened her eyes. 【Debut】The sun has turned west in the blue sky, the golden sunlight is shining on the body, and the gentle breeze blows the pages of the book on your knees.

Tiana closed the book in her hand and did not stand up, quietly enjoying the silence and peace of the moment.

"Tiana! You're hiding and reading again!"

A pair of beautiful red leather shoes appeared in front of him, and the snow-white floral pleated skirt wrapped around the slender legs, even if you don't have to look up, you can imagine that it must be a lively and lovely girl.

"It's rude for you to be like this as a guest. The girl crossed her waist and pretended to be angry.

Tiana didn't speak, she didn't look up, she knew that no matter what she did, the dream would go on irreversibly. The good memories only stay in this moment, and there are only short moments for her to remember.

The sun disappeared from the garden, the sky was obscured by haze, and the icy cold wind howled by. The snow-white dress was stained red with blood, and the girl's body was rotting in the wind at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Tiana, help me......"

The fingers clutching the book were bloodless because they were too hard, and Tiana bit her lip tightly, ignoring the pleading of the girl beside her, and let her weep in pain turn into dry bones.

The caster retains a certain level of lucidity even in her dreams, and after countless failed rescues, she realizes that this is an unsolvable nightmare, a nightmare in the deepest part of her mind.

After all, the dead cannot be recovered, and those who are still alive can only continue to move forward with heavy grief.

The color of the world faded, and the surroundings became a dark and cold cage. Tiana held her book and looked up at the sky, and in the endless darkness, only a faint light remained. Although it seems to be flickering and flickering, almost swallowed up by darkness, it still persists.

Tiana reached out to touch the glimmer of light, when her body suddenly shook, and her consciousness fell into a distorted blur.

When she woke up from her dream, the first thing she saw was a pair of bright eyes. Immediately, the sharp pain of slashing all over her body immediately confirmed the fact that she was alive.

"You're finally awake. El rubbed his temples, finally relieved.

The girl's injuries were severe, and the elemental torrent scorched her hands, leaving large burn marks on her face. A vicious curse swirls around the body, causing a lot of damage to the internal organs. Tiana felt her hands and face bandaged, and some kind of cool herb was applied to relieve the hot stinging pain on her skin. She tried to speak, but salty blood foamed from her mouth, and something blocked her throat, making it difficult to breathe.

"Don't talk yet, take the medicine. El took a bowl of turquoise juice from the herbs from the bedside, although he had not studied orthodox apothecary, but when it came to the simple treatment of injuries, the hunters who roamed the jungle naturally had their own unique secret recipes.

The fresh potion was bitter in the mouth, but with a fresh herbaceous scent, Tiana only drank a few spoonfuls and felt that her breathing was much smoother, and the pain in her body seemed to be relieved a little.

"Thank you...... No need. ”

After regaining her composure, Tiana shook her head lightly in refusal, this herb has a slight narcotic ingredient that can affect her mental recovery like alcohol.

El understood the reason after thinking about it, he withdrew his hand expressionlessly, took out a packet of white powder in front of Tiana, poured it into the bowl, stirred it casually, and then roughly pinched the girl's chin and poured the bowl of potion down.

Tiana's eyes widened and she struggled in horror, but what little strength she had left was no match for El's brutality, and she only kicked her feet on the bed a few times. It was a packet of medicine big enough to tip the elephant over, and after drinking it for a few seconds, the girl lost consciousness completely.

"If you don't care for your body, then don't blame me for not pity. ”

El put down the bowl in frustration and rearranged the bandages on her face. The burns on the girl's face were so severe that if she didn't treat them, she would probably be disfigured.

"Oh no! El!" Tika rushed into the bedroom in embarrassment, and the little maid, who had been frightened a little in the morning, seemed to have recovered, as if she had a backbone with El by her side.

"What's wrong, panicked?" El frowned, closing the quilt over Tiana. Through the broken window, he could faintly hear the noise outside.

"It's the people of the village, they say...... They said they were going to get rid of you. Tika danced with emotion: "She was seen killing someone in the morning...... I saw you fighting with monsters, and they said you had caused the disaster! No one would listen to me no matter how I explained. ”

El's face was slightly gloomy, and he stood up and looked out the window. The scene of the girl's battle with the Cursed Priest was clearly visible, the cursed spells that shot everywhere left mottled spots on the walls, and the ground was covered in blue-black splattered blood. The shattered body of the Cursed Clergy lay in the doorway, his lifeless face distorted with a blank twist. Not far from his body, a shattered gargoylee fell on all fours against the courtyard wall, its gem-encrusted head hanging in the doorway and still smoking.

The villagers gathered in twos and threes, but they didn't dare to get too close. The strange stench of corpses emanating from the Cursed Clergy instills a fear of the plague, which is suppressed to the limit, sometimes turning into unwarranted anger.

"This is a disaster, this is a disaster!" Aunt Maggie, who was draped in a scarf, carried a rolling pin, and the three circles of fat on her body trembled with every step, and the fat woman couldn't stop her mouth while she was afraid.

"I saw it with my own eyes! The little girl sat on top of that person, slashing and slashing! She's a monster! Tika also said, it was the eldest lady that El had brought back from the city, hum, maybe who it was. What decent girl kills like a pig?"

"This person wears a robe, and he has an identity. If someone dies, the lord of the city will definitely track it down, but El is in trouble this time. Someone whispered.

"Anyway, we have to burn the corpse ...... quickly."

"I also saw El fighting with the big monster with blue light in his eyes. ”

"El has also become a monster? I said why is he the only one who is not afraid of the plague, and only he dares to go into the city. ”

The villagers had hoes and dung forks in their hands, and their words became more and more excessive, encouraged by each other. In fact, they didn't really suspect El, they were just venting their emotions in fear.

The door of the lord's mansion was kicked open, and the noise suddenly fell silent. El strode out and looked around. None of the villagers dared to look at him, and they all bowed their heads and retreated under his gaze.

Speaking ill of people behind their backs is one of the most common inferiorities of human beings, and Aunt Maggie only dares to point fingers at the dead, but when facing El, she does not regain her arrogance. If Tiana did appear in front of her, she would just scream and run away.

El sadly saw that everyone's face was full of cowardice and numbness.

They are uneducated mountain people, who do not care about changes in the outside world, they only care about themselves, and habitually obey the powerful.

When his adoptive father died, no one shed tears for him, and no one showed concern for Er, only blind obedience and dependence on him.

When they got the medicine to cure their disease, no one cared where the medicine came from, and no one asked about the current situation in Queensland City, only desperately fought for it knowing that their share was not enough.

Tika collected the bodies of the dead, but was isolated by them as infected. Tiana eliminated the Cursed Clergy who could really bring disaster, and instead was treated as an evil murderer.

Is it true that no one can see the truth, or is it simply because they want to vent their fears, so they point the finger at the weak who cannot resist?

El knew that if he stood here and said a few words, he could solve everything. A person who is trapped in confusion and fear will unconditionally choose to believe in authority, and he is the authority now. As soon as he said that Tiana was your benefactor, the villagers immediately changed their attitudes and showed expressions of gratitude.

They believe what El says, not what he says. Whatever the truth, it's good to have peace of mind.

Even if he protects Tika and Tiana now, it won't be long before these people will still pick out another scapegoat behind their backs.

El once had a sense of responsibility for the village, but now he felt particularly disappointed.

"The woman was a wanted person from the city, and I took her back to collect the bounty. The dead man was her accomplice and a bad guy. ”

He told the villagers that this explanation was reasonable and did not exceed their imagination, so they all showed relieved expressions.

"I'll just say, it must be like this, yes, that dead man doesn't look like a good person. ”

"Yes, yes, or El is brave and resourceful, and if there is a bounty, the situation in our village can be improved. ”

Hearing that there was a bounty, Aunt Maggie's eyes immediately lit up, and she wanted to lean in and ask more, but El glared at her coldly and held back her stomach full of words.

Just like her, the other villagers began to care about the bounty, in their opinion, El is from this village, and if the murder happened in the village, the bounty should naturally have a share of the village. Maybe Cross, who was already in the bento, was right, and a little gold could make these fools kneel down and be dogs.

El's heart was cold, and he turned back into the house, only to see Tika with a puffed face at the door where Tiana was resting.

"She was badly injured. The little maid blushed, her hands outstretched like a little hen guarding her cubs, and her eyes were pleading: "El, don't do this. Didn't you say it's dangerous out there, she can easily get sick like this? ”

"But she almost hurt you in the morning. El asked, surprised.

"That...... I'm not hurt again. Tika scratched her head and smiled nonchalantly, "She's a good person, and she told me to hide after saving me." And the guy outside is a bad guy at first glance. ”

"It's so easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys. El was amused by Tika's words, and he rubbed the girl's head, and there was something warm about her that comforted him.

"Pack your things and come with me. El whispered in her ear.
