In snowy towns, winter nights in the evening are actually brighter than spring and autumn, especially in the Kingdom of Arcules (United Kingdom), a country with four distinct seasons. The pure white snow reflects the light coming from the kitchen and living room,
The entire small town was shrouded in a halo that was so blurry and unreal.
With the curling smoke and the warm fire in the fireplace, you can always smell the aroma of roasted chicken or bread when passing by every house. The elders of the town council, led by a Grom Goblin, walked around the town.
On the wide snowy street, passing by a small building, I saw a family of five sitting happily around a long table in the window, lighting colorful candles, eating homemade red sausage and pork butt, and the laughter of three children.
From the restaurant through the booth to the window.
Such a beautiful scene is what the elder has been looking forward to. Although it is like this every year without any changes, he, who was homeless in his early years, knows that stability and ordinary life are also a kind of good happiness.
He breathed in the heat and asked Grom to hurry up. After a few turns, he arrived in front of a dark house.
"Is this right here?"
The house was neither big nor small, with a red tile roof and only one floor. The elder's window was covered with curtains, and there were no lights on in the house. He thought to himself: "It seems there is no one. Have you gone to bed early?" He lay beside the window and looked carefully.
He took a look inside, then took a few steps back to look at the chimney on the roof. On a cold day, people in the town usually sleep, and they will light a dark lamp at home, and the fire in the fireplace should also be burning, but this household
No one else has it.
He thought for a while, then walked to the fan-shaped steps in the door, knocked on the wooden door, and pulled the bell rope hanging on the door.
No one came to open the door, and he didn't hear any movement in the house. He banged the wooden door again, making a loud banging sound.
The door opened, and an orange-yellow door-shaped light shone on his back. The neighbor opposite asked in confusion: "Who are you? Why did you knock on the door at night?"
The elder turned around and pointed behind him and asked, "Where is this family?"
"You mean Halls? There's no one in his family."
The elder asked strangely: "No one? Where is his wife and children? Are they traveling far away?"
"He has always been single and has no wife or children." The neighbor asked in confusion: "Who are you? Why are you looking for him?"
The elder said: "I am from the town government. Halls was called away by the Iron Guard to help. They asked me to explain the situation to his relatives. Is this No. 22, the home of Seba Halls?"
"Yes, doesn't it say that on the door number?" The neighbor saw that this man did not look like a thief and a bad guy, so he closed the door and went back to the house.
The elder scratched his half-bald head: "There are no wives and children. Is it a mistake on the part of the Iron Guard?" He shook his head and left.
…
In the earth layer full of vitality, the air has become moist, and the feeling of moisture has soaked into the clothes. Uncomfortable and uneasy hammering into everyone's heart, who can really sleep peacefully?
Someone whispered, and Bronn was chatting with Halls: "I'm so sorry for you. I didn't want to come down, but I came here in a daze. Halls, if you didn't come, you should be eating red wine in a warm room at this time.
Intestine, spend time with your family.”
Halls lowered his head quietly and said after a while: "I really don't want to come, it's too cold here."
"Yes." Bron rested his head on his head and yawned: "At home, there is a warm fireplace, the care of a wife, and a beloved child. How can it be like now, in such a place where life and death are unpredictable.
"
Xiao, Dior, Pétain and Acosta were also chatting, but they were speculating on the situation they might encounter next. Anna was a little absent-minded, looking in the direction she came from from time to time.
Fred was angry and complained behind Anna: "Do I disgust you so much? Do you care about an outsider and you don't care about me?"
"Why do you want to learn ice magic instead?" Anna was located far away from the others, and she deliberately lowered her voice.
Fred was a little surprised. She rarely took the initiative to talk to him. He was a little excited and happy and said: "I...I..."
"Is it because of him?"
Fred said reluctantly: "You always say his name over and over again, and you will whisper his name from time to time. You...you and him..."
Anna thought for a while and said: "I rarely meet you, and I have never mentioned him in front of you. You... placed an spy around me!?"
"No, I...I heard what my mother said."
Ana stared at him with cold side eyes: "Don't try to lie to me, you are spying on me!"
"I..." Fred lowered his head and admitted, "I just care about you, and I don't have any ill intentions."
Anna said angrily: "Stop your behavior, what you do will only make me angrier."
Fred suppressed his anger and said: "Why? You would rather care about a stranger than me! If you care about him, I will try to make my face more like him. He is good at ice magic, so I will work hard.
Learning ice magic, could it be that... could I never get your approval? Why should he get more attention? Or maybe you have known him for a long time, or have a shady relationship!" He said the last sentence.
It was very heavy, and you could clearly see the anger burning in Anna's eyes.
The people next to them also heard what was happening on their side. They must have been talking about private matters, and the others just turned a deaf ear.
Anna said with a cold face: "Don't talk nonsense, I only met him once, there is no relationship."
"Then why..."
Anna heard a voice coming from a distance and stopped talking.
The sound was caused by Elisa's guardian. Bing Zhixie and Elisa came back to join everyone. Eliza summoned her guardian Kro Chilin Borer Moth midway. When she fought against the Hydra Emperor before,
, it was at the front and bore the impact of a large number of broken stars. After being recalled to the life space, its condition has not been very good, so it was called out again to understand its injury status.
The borer moth scattered phosphorus powder and flew above everyone's heads. There were hundreds of crystallization marks on its body, and the open wounds flickered with fluorescent light. It was the borer moth that was fighting against the erosion of crystallization.
"Your guardianship is not very good, sage." Dio stood up and walked over.
Elisa looked up at the guardian: "It should be fine, but its condition is indeed not good." and told everyone what happened.
They also told Eliza about their discovery.
"That's right. The Paladin of Memphis is very likely to be swallowed up by the black gap." Dio said to Petain: "Miss Shirley may encounter the same situation."
Bronn was startled: "Then... they... are dead? No way! Without a sound, people are gone?"
Elisa held the Holy Cross Sword in her hand, and the feeling in her heart was hard to express. She turned around and saw Bimoye with a sad face, and said: "No matter what, now that I'm here, I have to go on this road no matter what. It's just to save Yu Xue."
The people of the mercenary group also want to save the world. The energy here, that is, vitality, magic and other forces, may seem calm, but in fact it may be very unstable. They collide or tear with each other and form holes in space. There is such a possibility.
The black gap will reappear at any time. We must be careful. When it reappears, we can more clearly understand what it is." She cast light healing magic and shined it on the moth and everyone.
The borer moth tends to light and bathes in light, which is good for it, and this kind of bathing in light is good for everyone.
