Section 17. Family"

Flocks of thick velvet birds nest in the snow-covered plains of the fields, pecking at the grass in the snow. The morning mist gradually lifted, and a black dot appeared on the vast and vast horizon. It was a peaceful town, and in the distance of the village stood a lonely black castle on a snowy field.

But the clouds on the snowfield were gloomy and surging, and a snowstorm seemed to be coming unexpectedly.

The convoy was soon spotted by the village.

"There's a convoy out there!"

The shouts of the villagers woke up the town in the early morning, and the guards climbed the watchtower and rang the alarm bell in the village, resounding over the town:

"They're soldiers!"

The town was awakened by the barking of chickens and dogs, the guards lined up, and the farmers, women, and merchants rushed out of their houses with pitchforks, spoons, and weapons, when a third shout rang out:

"Levi is back!"

……

Annan sat in front of the carriage, the dull and solemn sound of horses' hooves sounded around him, and the splashed snowflakes fluttered crystallially, setting off the handsome and calm face under the black hair.

He saw the inhabitants pouring out of town, shouting "Levi" and rushing over. Annan did not feel malicious intent and asked the knights not to stop them.

The enthusiastic inhabitants gathered around the carriage, touching and touching each other with intimacy, as if Annan were the neighbor's boy rather than the king of the north.

And Annan's appearance on the streets of Breeze City will only be in awe and affection.

"King! King! ”

Annan followed the prestige, and two freckled boys crowded to the side of the carriage, and they wondered Annan's strangeness: "You don't remember us? We are Chancellor Moseley and General Marcus! ”

Are they Levi's playmates?

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to the castle now."

The procession made its way through the inhabitants and towns, towards the Black Stone Castle, where the gates were slowly lowered and several figures appeared.

"I guess Sister Leila is going to be angry." Minister Mosley said.

General Marcus suddenly pulled him and staggered: "Let's get over quickly!" The king is going to be beaten by his mother again! ”

The heavily armored knights and carriages stopped in front of the moat, and Annan stepped out of the carriage.

Annan's mage robe that burned the thermostat was wrinkled, his cheeks were pinched red by someone for not knowing who had made a red mark, and his neatly erected black hair was also kneaded into pieces. He didn't care about any of this, just looked at the two figures under the city gate.

A girl with a crossed waist and a black gauze skirt in winter, revealing a healthy wheat complexion, she must be the second sister Leila. The girl next to her sat quietly on a carved wooden chair, her snow-pale complexion like a delicate and fragile doll, and her milky white fluffy long skirt stretched out a pair of naturally falling fair, crystalline, and shoeless thin feet.

Annan frowned slightly.

Stepping onto the suspension bridge, where chains swayed, Annan stepped over the frozen moat in the wind, and came to the door of his "family."

The second sister, Leila, looked angry and hugged Annan without saying anything.

Annan's hands hung stiffly with nowhere to rest, and when he thought about what to say at this time, the pain in his abdomen made him hunch, but fortunately he hadn't eaten in the morning.

Leila, who gave Annan a punch, grabbed him by the collar again, and looked up to press that face: "You still know to come back!?" ”

At this time, Annan saw Blom holding a great sword and stepping onto the drawbridge in the reflection of Rela's eyes.

"Blom, stop."

The drawbridge stopped trembling, and Lela turned her head to look at Blom who had stopped.

"Looks like you have your own cronies...... This time, I'll let you go. ”

Rela's tone was crisp and light, and her pronunciation and words were not the same as Annan's, and Annan was still ashamed of her accent, so the second sister laughed and said, "Why do you talk ......like those hillbillies?"

"Have you forgotten, Rela, Annan has amnesia......"

Editia, who was quietly watching the interaction between her sister and brother, said at this time.

Leila looked at Annan in surprise: "Then do you remember who I am?" ”

For this scene, Annan practiced many times. He mimics Olmedo's warm smile: "I've forgotten a lot,...... But I haven't forgotten the love for my family—"

As Annan's mouth was pinched by a hand, the rest of the words came to an abrupt halt.

"How many girls have you ever fooled with this mouth?" "Always don't go home to the letter and be embarrassed to say love? And what's going on with your laughter? It's disgusting......"

Leila shivered, half because of Annan, half because of the sudden wind and snow.

"Are you cold?"

"Shhh...... It's not cold~"

A layer of fine pimples appeared on her skin, and Raella's mouth was hard, and Annan had already taken off her mage robe. Retla's eyes lit up in front of Editia and draped over her.

"Welcome back." Editia said softly.

Then in the blink of an eye, it was ruined by a voice floating from behind:

"What are you doing back! I'm annoyed when I see you! ”

A new storm is brewing in the Ausulon territory, and the maid picks up Ittilia and returns to the castle, with Annan and Rela following behind.

"What's wrong with the eldest sister's leg?"

"Have you forgotten this...... "Reela blamed, "because when you were seven years old, you ran to the Facing Wall Forest, and the eldest sister had her legs cut off by the Cave Lord in order to save you......"

Annan frowned and looked at Editria's ankle in front of her, "The eldest sister's leg is fake?" ”

"yes...... Pity. ”

Annan was still sighing with Rela, and Editria's voice floated over: "Reila is lying to you. ”

"Hahaha stupid, our eldest sister was born with her legs like this."

A butler, about the same age as Levi's three siblings, led Blom and the knights into the castle to rest.

"Where is the castle's storehouse? I'm going to put something. Entering the warm castle, Annan asked.

Itilia asked the servant to lead the way, but Rela asked what Annan wouldn't say.

"The Mysterious ......"

Opening the door, a dusty, empty warehouse emerges.

"The castle has been understaffed, and it hasn't been cleaned up for a long time." The eldest sister said.

"It's okay."

Annan waved his hand lightly, and a spatial rift appeared in the clearing in front of him.

Workers expertly travel back and forth to the portal, carrying grain and a dazzling array of tools to the warehouse.

Annan proudly crossed his waist, and then skillfully twisted his ear with one hand, and spun half a circle: "Loser thing!" What do you do with spending all your money at home and on your territory! Get them moving back! ”

"I have a lot of money."

Annan reached out and pressed Leila's forehead, who was about to look down: "Hasn't the news of the magic image come yet?" ”

After briefly talking about recording the magic stone, Annan took advantage of the busy workers to activate the magic image.

Behind the swirling blue planet logo and cast, the image that emerges startles Rela, and then, like many young girls who admire Annan, stares at Jack in the magical image in a daze.

"Who is this boy?"

"Uh...... It's me. Because the murderer is in Breezy City, I will only let the murderer find out if I maintain my original appearance......"

Leila lost interest in magical images for a moment.

"This adventure must be full of thrills."

"Of course ......"

Leila didn't pay any attention to the images on the magic image. Editilia listened to Annan's story softly and quietly, her face reflecting the changing images of magic.
