Chapter IX: Deliberation

"When the son of the plane is discovered, the host of the building yì will be killed immediately!"

Ed suppressed the inscription prompt that kept ringing in his heart, and carefully looked at the girl in front of him who was labeled as the son of the plane, a blonde hair as bright as Andre was tied into a ponytail by the owner and put on the back of his head, and under the heroic sword eyebrows were a pair of bright and firm eyes, perhaps because he had just finished praying, Ed felt a feeling of love and tolerance from the other party's gaze, as if God loved the world.

"Andrei, I'm so glad to see you again, I knew you would promise me, this is Ed! I heard about your heroic deeds, last night you saved many lives and saved this peaceful village from the flames of war, I am Delia, and it is an honor to meet you!"

The girl greeted the two generously, and in the face of each other's praise, Ed also humbly replied.

"I haven't made a final decision yet, but Ed saved me last night, and I'll think more about it if you can convince him. Although he said that, Ed felt that Andre's words sounded a little insincere, although he didn't know what the other party would ask, but whether Ed agreed or not, Andre should have "considered" it.

The girl who called herself Delia smiled confidently at Andrei's prevarication, turned to face Ed, paused slightly, and began to tell him her story.

After a few moments, André left the stone chamber with Ed, saying that they would talk again after the girl had breakfast, and Delia thanked André for his hospitality, and sent the two out, turning around and returning to the altar.

Ed followed behind Andre, his mind still immersed in the girl's self-description just now, the story was very simple.

Dilia, who was originally a shepherdess, said that one day while herding sheep in the mountains, she met several displaced hungry people, who said that because of the fighting, they had to flee their homeland, enter the unfamiliar mountains, and hide from the enemy in their caves, and by this time there was little prey left nearby, and the old people and children were dying of hunger, and begged the maiden to help them.

Delia followed them to a cave and saw many hungry, skinny children lying in their mother's arms, but the babies were waiting to be fed but could not express any milk from their mothers.

Seeing this, the maiden could not hold back her tears, and resolutely decided to give the flock to the hungry people, leaving only one of her beloved little lambs in her arms.

The hungry people were very grateful for the kindness of the maiden, and they set up a bonfire, and in a short time a large pot of broth was cooked, and the delicious smell of meat wafted through the cave, and the children who had fainted from hunger woke up, and waited for the food with wide eyes.

Delia was overjoyed to see that everyone had been given a bowl of broth, and when it was getting dark, she got up to take her leave, and the people who had received the favor embraced her out of the cave.

"You are a merciful saint, thank you for your help!"

"I hope everyone in the world can be as kind as you, and we are forever grateful for your selfless dedication!" people praised her loudly, this is a group of simple people, from beginning to end without a trace of evil thoughts, only infinite gratitude to Delia.

When she came to the entrance of the cave, Delia suddenly saw several old people curled up beside her through the crowd of people who praised her, and they didn't look like they had eaten at all, so she put aside the people who were trying to hide it, walked over to the old man, and angrily asked why the people didn't give them food.

"Am I helping a group of demons? are there no parents among these old men, not your elders, just because they are about to abandon them in the short life of their lives, and even the most merciful gods will not forgive such behavior!"

Many people dodged Delia's eyes, and everyone felt extremely guilty, and then one of the dying old men said in a weak voice: "We are all old, and we shouldn't waste our hard-won food, so we sneaked out while everyone was sharing food, don't blame these children!"

When Delia heard the old man's words, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart, she gently stroked the bleating lamb in her arms, walked up to the old man, squatted down, and handed her last lamb over, "This is the extra food I gave you." ”

Large crystal tears fell from the old people's cloudy eyes, wetting Delia's hands.

Bidding farewell to this group of hungry people, Dilia walked alone on the mountain road, losing the fresh milk produced by the sheep, she could only feed on the scarce fruit, but the edible food in the vicinity was picked by the hungry people, and the girl had to travel overnight, and her family still had little food.

In the middle of the night, dark clouds suddenly gathered and the rain was blowing, and the downpour fell in the blink of an eye, and Delia hurried to find a place to shelter from the rain, the road was so wet and slippery that she almost fell to the ground several times.

The girl was drenched by the heavy rain, shivering with cold, she really couldn't walk, so she had to curl up and hide under the depression of the mountain wall, and the rain hit her body with small stones in pain.

Lost the company of the flock, the girl felt lonely, these lambs have been with her for as long as she can remember, and every night after the death of her parents she had to stroke the warm wool to sleep, now there is no qiē, and she is the only one left in heaven and earth.

"Maybe I'm going to die soon, it's good to be able to see my parents again!" The tired and hungry girl gradually developed a high fever, and her delirium slowly fell into a coma.

However, at the last moment, the only thought that could be thought of by Di Lia was, "I have saved many lives, and my parents will be happy if they know!"

At this moment, a thunderbolt flashed, and a glowing figure appeared in front of Delia, and the pouring rain avoided this area, and the girl's body could no longer feel the cold.

In a daze, she heard this miraculous appearance of the existence of the sù tell her that the hungry people in the cave just now were the test of the gods for her, although Delia had lost all her lambs, but the gods would give her the power to herd more sheep, at this time the outside of the mountains was experiencing war, countless ordinary people died every day, and a deeper darkness was coming, where there were more hungry people waiting to be saved.

The next day Delia awoke, and at first she thought it was just a dream, but then the maiden knelt down and prayed to God and was answered, and a divine voice sounded in her heart, telling her what she should do.

So Deria walked out of the mountains according to God's will, she lost her Lamb but was not alone, because her faith was always by her side, and she was ready to save more people and let more lost lambs receive God's favor.

This is the story of the two of them, a magical and incredible experience.

If it weren't for the inscription to remind Ed that the girl's identity was anything but ordinary, he would have classified Delia as a mentally abnormal person and refused to believe every word of her words.

André apparently didn't think Ed would believe the story, so he said:

"The day before the war, she came to our village and came straight to me and told me the story. And she prophesied that the old knight would soon die at the hands of Knight Ingier, and the village would be saved by a young man, I only thought of her as a witch at the time, but I didn't expect it to happen, but she predicted that the boy who saved the village would not be me but you, so I thought it was necessary to bring you to meet her. Okay, now that I'm going to say it, sue me do you believe her?"

"She said you'd promise her, so what's that?" Ed asked.

"Pretty much escort her, help her save the world with your own strength, or something!, do you think, have you believed what the shepherdesss said?" asked Andrei rhetorically.

Ed heart said, the heart seal said that this is the son of the plane, the identity of the girl is definitely not just a shepherdess, maybe what she said is true, as for killing the other party, Ed is not ready to do this, if it is a battlefield encounter, even if the enemy is the son of the plane or something, he has to kill it in order to save his life, and now he can't do it.

As for the mark to kill her, then let it kill, anyway, he won't be accused, no matter who threw himself into this world and gave him this mark, Ed is never ready to give in, act according to the other party's will!

"I think what she said is quite interesting, it's not bad to leave here and go to the mainland to save the world or something!"

Hearing this, Andre couldn't help but look at Ed a few times, he really couldn't see through this kid!

Ed shook his head, ignoring the other party's searching gaze, "Besides, doesn't she still have the ability to prophesy, this kind of powerful skill must be used, so it's decided, let's go together!"

Pull up Andre, although this guy doesn't believe you on his lips, but in fact, his heart is vibrated by the previous prophecy and has been in a state of wavering.

Ed led him back to the stone chamber, where he was visibly overjoyed to learn that the boy was willing to help him, and her bright eyes smiled like two crescents.

"Although God has told me that help will be found here, I still want to express my gratitude, believe me, you made the right decision, Andrey, what about you?"

In the face of the two people's eye attack, Andre was quickly defeated, as Ed said, no matter whether the girl is really a shepherdesss or not, it is imperative to leave the village, and it is nothing to go together, not to mention that he still cares about the girl's previous prophecy.

"Well, well!"

Seeing that the last person also nodded in agreement, Delia took the hands of the two of them, laughed and jumped up, in her opinion, this is the first task that has been completed by God, and it is also the first time that her mission has been recognized, how can she not cheer!

Ed was also infected by the girl's cheerful feelings, after a night of fighting, although he didn't care much about the fact that he killed someone, but what he felt from a series of encounters when he came to this world was full of negative feelings, Ed's heart was actually quite depressed, and now the new companion holding his hand was so warm that people couldn't let go, and her cheerful laughter also soothed his spirit, so that he couldn't help but join involuntarily.

Andre can't do anything with these two childlike guys, in fact, he is only 18 years old at this time, one year older than Ed, and two years older than Delia, but as the eldest of the three, he will unconsciously want to give himself a sense of stability.

After a while, Andre stopped the two and began to prepare for the next trip.

According to the plan, Andrei's family will leave for the nearest big city of Ovaret today, and then the rest of the villagers will learn of the news that the lord has died of serious injuries, and will evacuate to the surrounding area one after another.

Edtiyì followed André's family to Ovalé to have a look, and the big city was still very attractive to him.

However, Delia said that the gods had pointed out to her that the girl's immediate goal should be to gather more strength to end the war and drive the Ingier invaders out of the land first, so she should go directly to Prince Charles, the current commander of the Roland Kingdom Resistance, and seek his support.

After listening to the opinions of the two, Andrei considered it for a moment and expressed his opinion.

"Our Roland Kingdom has been invaded by the Ingier Empire across the sea since the old king went crazy, and after the death of the mad king, the war broke out. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but pause, Ed knew that it was the news of the old mad king's death that happened to cause Andre to be angry and lose his chance to gain power.

Fortunately, Andrei quickly put the past aside and continued:

"Ingier's large-scale offensive is very ferocious, and the heir to the throne, His Excellency Crown Prince Charles, has limited ability, the Roland Kingdom has been losing and losing a large amount of territory, so most of the remaining knights after the Northern War do not trust him, but he is the legitimate heir to the throne after all, if we can gain his trust and make a certain counterattack, I believe that we can reunite a group of forces to quell the war. ”

Andre didn't know why Delia was confident that she could convince the crown prince, maybe it was another prophecy, but it must have something to do with the god in her mouth anyway.

Ed knew very little about the national situation and the war situation, and there was not much relevance in the memory of the original owner, so he did not refute Andre's words at will, but secretly wondered in his heart about the world he was in according to the description of the village chief's son.

"It seems to be a rather deformed world, where the knight lords possess far more force than the common people, so their choices determine the fate of the country instead of the will of the people, and the common people are only tools of production and consumables of war, civilization is stifled by power, and justice is just a joke. ”

From Andre's words and his own experience, he tried to deduce some of the faces of this world, and Ed found that the darkness he had experienced may not be anything at all, maybe most civilians live in this kind of precarious and fearful days every day, and they don't know when they will suddenly be harmed by the superiors, this is really a sad world for the weak!
