Chapter 37: Don't Guess What the Girl Thinks
Is this considered suicide?
Looking at the corpse lying in front of the door, Wren sighed wordlessly, with mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't even know what to say for a while.
He didn't expect that the reason for everything would be so simple, but so complicated.
The human heart is really not an elusive thing.
"Wren," Angelica's figure appeared from behind the paladin, "I heard what Uncle Richard said. ”
Wren nodded and did not speak.
Richard's suicide hit him a little hard, and he needed to take a break.
Looking at the paladin's slightly gloomy back, the girl's eyes showed a little distress.
Such a betrayal, such a change, it is not comfortable to put on anyone, let alone a teenager who has just turned 17?
She bit her lip and hesitated for a few seconds, but finally spoke:
"Wren, this is a grudge between elders, it has nothing to do with you, you are innocent."
The paladin nodded, motioning for her to continue.
Looking at the corpse of the middle-aged man, Miss Ranger mustered up the courage and said:
"Richard was wrong when he said that the heavens and the gods were unjust to him. In this world, there is no absolute fairness, and fairness is comparative. While the heavens rejected him to become a professional, they also gave him the identity of the Wren family, allowing him to become a successful businessman. On the other hand, isn't this fair in another sense? No one is born with everything. ”
At this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the girl's face.
"When it comes to my origins, I was born in an orphanage! But am I going to give up on myself? No, I want to prove to others that even orphans with no background can become a professional with diligence and hard work! Richard, with his background beyond the reach of the common people, how could he be entitled to feel sorry for himself here to the point of madness and destruction? ”
"Angelica, you really deserve to be a ranger, what you said is simply to the point...... Yes, people's hearts are not suffering. ”
Wren sighed, walked over to the corpse, and bent down to pick up the strip box in Richard's arms.
"No matter how much you talk about, it's just the wailing of a defeated dog."
Defeated Dog ...... Isn't that it?
Angelica covered her mouth and chuckled quietly, her gaze at the paladin becoming more gentle.
Wren, you know what?
Coming out of an orphanage is my greatest misfortune and my greatest luck, it allows me to meet the right person in the best years of a girl.
Thinking of this, Angelica's smile became even thicker.
She seemed to recall that on that sunny summer afternoon, a five-year-old poor girl and a seven-year-old aristocratic boy met by chance......
Wren, who was about to walk towards the manor, suddenly couldn't help but shudder, he seemed to be targeted by some terrible existence.
Puzzled, Wren shook his head, crossed the mansion gate, and walked in.
Ever since Wren became a Paladin, he often resided in the temple for ease of training, returning here almost every three or four days.
Gradually, he dismissed all the servants in the house, and only a few remained.
But these people, after Richard seized the family property, were all sent out.
Today, this manor, which covers an area of dozens of acres, can be said to be empty.
"You're not coming in?"
Wren looked at Angelica standing at the door, raised his chin and asked.
He...... Invite me into his estate?!
Miss Ranger blinked, thinking she had misheard.
By the time she reacted, her white and delicate cheeks turned red with a "swish".
In case he ...... Do I say yes or no......
I'm still young, how can this kind of thing be ......
Oh, Angelica, you aspire to be a lady, how can you think of such a mess!!
"No, no, no!"
The panicked girl shook her little hands into a rattle, and said quickly:
"It's almost dawn, Ren Ling hasn't rested much in the past few days, take a good rest, I'll go back to the orphanage first, and I'll come to see you tomorrow, don't ......"
Even because of the speed of speech, I almost bit my tongue.
Before she could finish speaking, she turned and trotted away.
That posture, in Wren's eyes, was like a vicious dog chasing after him.
"Goo!"
The owl hurriedly flapped its wings and followed its master.
"I just saw that it was getting late, and I just wanted this girl to have a good rest here, why did she react so violently?"
Watching a man and a bird disappear into the night in the blink of an eye, Wren scratched his head, looking puzzled.
A small teenager, a big question mark.
"Forget it," Wren shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, "a woman's heart, a needle under the sea." Who knows what this girl is thinking, go back to the house and sleep, and wait until tomorrow to see what is stored in this box. ”
With that, Wren stretched and stepped into the mansion.
Silence returned to the night.
…………
However, Wren's plan was doomed to fail.
At about eight or nine o'clock in the morning, Wren, who was asleep, was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.
After changing her clothes and walking to the window, she found Angelica standing in front of the door, looking anxiously into the courtyard with her head outstretched.
Beside the girl, there was also a warrior in armor, but the other party was wearing a helmet, and Wren could not see his face clearly.
Wren walked out of the room, came to the door, and reached for the thick lock with the key.
"Angelica, didn't you say to rest a little longer? Why did you come to me so early? ”
Before the girl could speak, the armored warrior on the side had reached out and lifted the mask of the helmet, and greeted Wren with a smile.
"Wren, long time no see."
Listening to this familiar hearty laughter, Wren's eyes lit up and he looked at the other party.
When he saw the other party's face clearly, a happy color instantly appeared on his face.
"Uncle Keim, are you back? What about them? ”
Kesim, a level 6 holy warrior in the Guardian Temple of Vanlin Town, is the elder of Wren on the side of the holy warriors.
Just a few days before Wren's accident, he, along with most of the templadins and priests of the temple, followed the head of the paladin, Firin, into the swamp in the southeast to clear one of the Blasphemous Order's strongholds.
Keith shook his head with a wry smile and said:
"It's hard to say, wait until you get to the temple, let the head of the group talk to you slowly. As soon as the head of the regiment came back early in the morning, he heard from Angelica about what had happened to you in the past few days, and asked her and I to take you to the temple, where he had something to talk to you about. ”
"The head of the regiment wants to see me? Okay, I'll pack up and go to the temple with you right away!" ”
Seeing that Kisim didn't want to say more, Wren didn't continue to ask and decisively agreed.
A few minutes later, Wren, Kisim, and Angelica walked down the street in the direction of the Patronus Temple.
Along the way, the three of them met the townsfolk who went out early in the morning, and Wren greeted them warmly.
However, although the expressions of the townspeople were also very enthusiastic, the awe in their eyes could not be concealed from the eyes of the three people.
"What's wrong with everyone?"
Wren scratched his head.
"Boy, I guess everyone knows about you, if you are seriously injured, you can still kill the Red Label Gang, isn't it normal for them to feel awe in their hearts?"
Keith patted Wren on the shoulder and said with a low chuckle.
"Don't say it's them, even the head of the regiment was surprised for a while when he found out."
The speed at which the news spread......
Wren, who couldn't laugh or cry, glanced at Miss Ranger who looked up at the sky, and didn't know what to say for a while.
In a quarter of an hour, the three of them arrived in front of the Patron Temple.
As soon as he entered the temple, he was stunned by what he saw inside.
