Chapter 16 After the Rain?
The summer rain comes and goes as fast as it comes.
After the rain, the sky is clear, the clouds are open, and the water on the ground has not yet dissipated, and people have been unable to bear the loneliness, and have taken to the streets to enjoy the pleasure and pleasure brought by the fresh air.
"Where are we going?" asked Edward
"Go to my house. ”
"Oh......"
The girl led the way, while Edward followed behind with Emilia in his arms. Along the way, the little girl seems to deliberately avoid the lively streets and go to the sparsely populated alleys. Edward was a little suspicious, but he didn't think that the little girl in front of him would be an enemy, so he didn't think much of it. Avoiding crowds is also what he wants.
The girl's steps are fast, don't look at her short stature, she walks faster than Edward, and is more anxious than Edward.
The closer he got to his destination, the more uneasy Edward became. Everything seemed to be going too well, from Emilia taking him captive, to being ambushed, to being rescued by the night, to surviving death, and finally to meeting a deceitful girl to take them home, everything seemed to be arranged in advance.
Since his amnesia, Edward has had to think a few more steps about everything, so much so that he is a little nervous. Maybe there really was a terrible conspiracy hanging over him and Emilia, maybe there was nothing.
If there is a conspiracy, perhaps even the incident of Edward's amnesia could be a conspiracy...... Rather than continue to be suspicious, Edward preferred to believe that he was unfounded.
Don't think about it.
After turning a few corners, the girl led Edward to her home.
It was a large house, but from the outside it looked plain, with no grand gate or powerful guards, and it was no different from ordinary people, except that it was larger.
"Let's go inside. The girl said with a smile.
"Hmmm......"
Entering the courtyard, Edward saw several servants at work, and they greeted the girl politely. When a servant saw the girl, he immediately put down what he was doing and walked briskly.
"Miss, Lord Kane has something to look for you. The servant said respectfully.
"Is he angry?" asked the girl cautiously.
"Lord Kane is waiting for you in the study. ”
When the servant had finished speaking, he bowed and walked away.
"Little sister, what's wrong?" asked Edward.
"It's all right, that ...... You rest for a while, and I'll be back right away. The girl suddenly remembered something, and said angrily, "Don't call me little sister! ”
Angelina hurriedly ordered the servant a few words, and then ran away.
Seeing her soulless, Edward was really worried about her. I wonder if she's going to be spanked by that guy called Kane......
Is her name Angelina?
Edward thought silently. She didn't seem to realize that she had given Edward her name.
Edward guessed that she was eighty percent of the daughter of Lord Kane, similar to the role of a little princess. Of course, she is now at the age of disobedience, thinking about running away from home or something all day long, and when she arrives at the study for a while, it is indispensable to be scolded by her father.
However, these were not Edward's concerns.
The servant led Edward to a spacious room where no one was occupied, and then bowed politely, leaving Edward alone in the room. Edward gently placed Emilia on the bed and found a chair to sit down.
The escape life finally came to an end, and Edward leaned comfortably back in his chair, enjoying a moment of peace. He hadn't slept a single night's sleep since the first day of amnesia, and every time he was either in a nightmare or woken up by Amilia, sleepy and tired.
When he meets a stranger, he always has to worry about whether the other person is an enemy, and he has to guess whether he knows him before. Even if the other party is not an enemy, you should worry about whether he is lying to himself or not. Edward didn't want to be suspicious, but he couldn't help it, even his own maid couldn't be fully trusted, and Edward didn't know who else he could trust.
He is like a lonely traveler, walking alone on a road with no end in sight, never reaching the end.
Even the Demon King has times when he is exhausted.
Although he has escaped the pursuit, he still can't take it lightly, a wrong move, a wrong move, and it is better to describe Edward's situation as dangerous. Whether it's to capture Emily Adam's captives and satisfy his own little evil desires, or to return to the Everfree Forest and live a carefree life, Edward can't afford to slack off.
It's not time to stop and rest.
Edward slapped his face to cheer himself up.
Emilia is still unconscious, which is not necessarily a good thing for him. Without the interference of the brave, he can firmly grasp the initiative. Whatever happens next, Edward has already figured out how to deal with it.
He wasn't an idiot, and although Angelina pretended to be like her, Edward didn't really think of her as a child.
He needed an excuse, a reasonable explanation.
It's like this-
He and Emilia are siblings, and the two of them go on an adventure, only to be attacked by robbers. He tried his best to save his sister, but in the process of escaping, his sister was still injured, and he had no relatives to take his sister to Central City to try his luck.
As for why he refused to accept the treatment of the spiritual master, why didn't he find his parents, this ...... Everyone's childhood will have a time of unbearable past, can you stop asking?
Perfect setting!
As long as you say this, all doubts can be perfunctory!
Edward turned his head to look at Emilia lying on the bed, and the smile on his face quickly faded.
Amilia's brow furrowed even tighter, and even though she was unconscious, she seemed to be in great pain. Her body was even hotter, and her small mouth opened and closed, making a stumbling sound, as if she was talking in her sleep.
There was no way, Edward could only wait patiently for Angelina to return.
Looking around, the furnishings in the room are unpretentious, and the earthy yellow walls give a sense of history, and it seems that this house should be some years old.
Angelina didn't keep Edward waiting, and soon returned, with her an old man with white hair.
He must be Kane.
"Is that her?" asked the old man, pointing to the girl lying on the bed.
"Hmm. ”
"The injury is not light......"
"You must have a way, right?" asked Angelina, with tears in her eyes.
"It should be fine, it's just ......"
Before the old man finished speaking, Angelina couldn't help laughing, as if she had heard great news, and she was so happy.
The old man couldn't bear to continue, and stroked his beard and fell silent.
Neither of them seemed to notice Edward, who was sitting on the side, talking to himself. The old man walked up to Emilia in a few steps, completely ignoring Edward's astonished gaze, picked up Emilia and walked out the door.
"Over to you. ”
"Good. ”
The old man turned back to Angelina and said something inexplicable, pretending to glance at Edward casually, then closed the door and left.
Edward didn't say a word from beginning to end, and the words he had prepared were useless. The old man seemed to be more worried about Emilia's injuries than he was, and took Emilia away without saying a word.
Now, with only Angelina and Edward left in the room, the atmosphere begins to take a subtle turn.
Angelina was the first to break the silence.
"Don't worry, as long as he says it's okay, it's definitely okay. He never lies. ”
"Really, he's amazing?"
"What are you talking about, don't you know him?"
Angelina looked at Edward with an idiot's eyes.
"Uh......" Edward chuckled dryly.
Where does he remember?
Not to mention that he has amnesia now, even if he doesn't have amnesia, how can he know that kind of weird old man.
"The only ninth-order magician in the entire continent, proficient in all magic, the idol of all magicians, you don't even know him?"
"Of course I knew him, I just forgot about it all of a sudden......"
Oh my God, that guy is so good, he just looks like an ordinary old man, and if anything, it's just a little longer beard and a little more reliable.
The two fell silent again.
Edward didn't dare to speak easily, if he said something wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable. He felt as if Angelina had something to say, so he waited patiently.
Angelina stopped talking, frowning and not knowing what she was thinking, it was completely different from her previous cute appearance, quite an adult.
Sure enough, Edward didn't guess wrong, this guy had been acting before.
"What's your name?" Angelina determined, finally asking.
"Edward. ”
"Hmm...... I've never heard of it. Angelina bit her finger and muttered to herself, "It shouldn't be from the Holy See......
Angelina stood up and walked in front of Edward. Standing she was about the same height as Edward who was sitting, and Edward didn't know whether to complain now, it seemed a little out of place......
Lovely Dehua did not despise her because of this.
"What the hell have you done?" Angelina asked coldly, her attitude turned one hundred and eighty degrees, as if she had changed someone.
Edward smirked in his heart, he had everything under control, and then he could get away with just the lines he had prepared. But......
"My sister and I ......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Angelina snapped Edward's words, "Brave, why did she get hurt like this?"
"Brave, brave?"
Edward was dumbfounded, and the words that slipped into his mouth were forcibly blocked.
Why? I shouldn't have shown any flaws.
"What the hell did you do to her?" asked Angelina, angrily.
In the face of enemies stronger than themselves, demons can always perceive the existence of the crisis in advance, and humans call this special ability the sixth sense.
Although Angelina doesn't seem to be such a formidable enemy, Edward's sixth sense is a danger alarm!
If he answers incorrectly, he will definitely be killed!
