Chapter 361: Nora's Crisis (Part I)
Synopsis - Brother and sister Scar Di Maria and Lulu Di Maria decided to leave the north and come to the fortress of Greene because they learned of the destruction of Greene. Sensing that the two were leaving, Nora asked Flo to take her place, chased them after them, and reached the Orc-occupied fortress of Greene, where she decided to wait for the two siblings.
While waiting for the two siblings, Nora thought of something, and turned to the locals, orcs, of course. At the cost of some supplies, Nora asked about something. Then, after confirming it with her own eyes, she sighed deeply and returned to the hotel.
The hotels in the city were still usable, but of course they were empty - even the orcs.
Luckily, Nora arrived at Greene Fortress the next afternoon, when the sun was setting.
...... If the unicorn Flo's feet are used as a reference, the time it took the siblings to come to the city is really not much. Nora, who was alone in the city feeling the desolation of the air, finally felt the direction of the two siblings, and immediately went to the city wall and watched their arrival from a distance.
Then, she could see the siblings' mounts clearly—probably the reason they had been able to get to Greene Fortress so quickly.
It was a black carnivorous beast, and if it looked like any animal, it probably couldn't be compared to any animal he had seen in his previous life—but it was one of the more well-known beasts in this world.
This kind of monster is a speed-type carnivorous beast that is not too high in level even if it is an adult.
Well, the reason why these two bear kids can run so fast is known. But what is the reason for being able to control this monster? No matter how low the level of this monster is, it is not something that two bear children who are nothing can control. Nora thought to herself.
But. At the moment, I still want to pull these two children. Let them not run around.
So, in the first moments after the two children entered the city, they found Nora in front of them.
"Eh?!Sister Nora?why?Why are you here?" The moment they saw Nora's face, the two siblings were dumbfounded.
Nora, however, was speechless—she expected that when she saw them, she would reprimand them with anger and righteousness, or with a stern and majestic face....... However, when she saw the dust on the two siblings, and the complicated looks on their faces that were incredulous with a little joy and guilt. She found that she was not as angry as she had imagined.
In the end, she is too soft-hearted. If Eco is here, it is estimated that these two bear children will have to suffer a lot.
But. You have to be serious when you should be serious, and you can't make these two children think that they don't need to be punished for making mistakes.
So, Nora said, "You two...... Do you know it's wrong?"
The two children bowed their heads, and after a while, Scar said, "We know we're at fault. But even so, give us ...... again"
Nora interrupted Scar, as she understood what Scar was saying was "We're still going to be here even if we give it another chance." So she said, "I don't want to know what your options are. All I want to ask is, do you recognize your mistakes? ”
......
After reprimanding the two of them severely, Nora smiled wryly and touched Lulu's head. He said to them: "Recklessly and brainlessly put yourself in danger...... It's not supposed to happen. Even if you have what you think, you must come here to find your father's reasons. You can also ask for help...... It doesn't matter if it's me, another teacher, or someone who is strong enough. If you can find a senior with enough strength as a companion. Then it's a lot less dangerous, isn't it?"
Seeing that the two siblings had something to say, Nora waved her hand and motioned for them not to speak: "Don't say that no one will come with you or anything...... How do you know if you don't try?"
"Originally, it was supposed to chase you back...... But now that it's all here, forget it, I'll accompany you this time. It's great that you've made it all the way here without incidents. Patting the two siblings on the shoulder, Nora asked, "Speaking of which, don't you explain to me what is the situation with this monster?"
Nodding, Lulu said, "Xiao Hei's words...... It was a gift that my father picked up by chance when he was a child and gave it to us. For it, my father also invited one of his animal trainer friends to help us tame it. Because we had to go to school and my father was guarding the city, we entrusted it to the animal trainers in Rakuyin City - the student ID card of Rakuyin Academy could bring a 50% discount. ”
"I see. Nora nodded, then asked, "So, what are you trying to accomplish by coming here all the way this time?"
After hearing Nora's words, the expressions of the two siblings changed instantly. Become determined, persistent...... And a hint of hidden madness that Nora couldn't see. "We want to find our father, whether he lives or dies, and if he dies, we will transport his body back to our homeland!"
"......," Nora said with a soft sigh and a heavy expression, "yes, I see." Then come with me...... I was lucky to be here first. I already know where your father is now. ”
"Eh, really? Father, he'...... All right. We got it. The two siblings, who had guessed something from Nora's expression, suddenly turned sad. But even so, they still took their own steps heavily.
Then, in the council chamber of the garrison of the former Greene Fortress in the city, the Di Maria brothers and sisters saw their father's body, which had no other injuries except for the amputation of his left hand and a hole in his chest.
"After the orc army broke through the city, they slaughtered the defending sergeants, and all the soldiers and junior generals were thrown into mass graves outside the city...... The generals with a certain status were given their final respect, that is, they placed them here - the orcs did not seem to have the idea of being buried in the earth. ”
Nora, who turned her back and couldn't bear to look at the two siblings who were crying bitterly on her father's body, explained to them the reason why the bodies of their father and the rest of the generals were neatly laid out here - but it was precisely because Nora turned her back that she did not see that there was nothing more than sadness in the eyes of Scar Di Maria, who was breaking down and crying
That hatred. (To be continued.) )
