"Did Ypres invade Helworth?" Glinton muttered while reading the newspaper on the bench.
"Was Helworth very strong before?" Zero asked, sitting aside and drinking mineral water.
"Not strong, but at least he won't be beaten like this by Yipur. It seems that Carlos is really powerful. He actually made Yipur strong enough to defeat three countries in one go, and he also has the intention to continue to invade." Glinton
He put down the newspaper and said, "What a sin."
"There's nothing we can do about it."
Glinton nodded and reached for the mineral water he put aside.
"First, sir." At this time, a voice came from behind the bench. When they looked back, they saw a dirty guy in tattered clothes. She only had one shoe on her foot, and she spoke in English.
Very lame.
"Give me a sip of water, please," she said.
Glinton handed over the water. The man was so happy that he unscrewed the cap and drank the entire bottle of water in one go.
"Thank you, thank you." She took a deep breath and said, "My name is Lacey, Lacey Raglan."
"Aren't you from Ypres?" Glinton asked.
An expression of hesitation and fear flashed across her face.
"We two are travelers." Seeing Lacey's hesitation, Zero said.
"...I am from Helworth."
"Hullworth people?" Glinton was a little confused, "How did you get here? Isn't it being..."
"I got on a fishing boat and came to Ypres." Lacey said, "Please, don't report me."
"We won't report you." Glinton said, glancing at Zero, who nodded, "But you are really eye-catching like this. After all, there are almost no beggars in the city of Yipur. If you continue like this, you will be discovered."
It’s also a matter of time.”
"but I........"
"Come with me." Glinton stood up. Zero glanced at him and handed his coat to Lacey.
"Thank you, thank you!" Lacey gratefully took the coat and followed the two of them.
Glinton took the two of them to a hotel.
"You two stay here, I'll be back later." With that, Glinton walked out of the door, but when he closed the door, Glinton looked at Ling again, "Shave, you have a pretty face now.
He looks like an uncle."
"Oh." Although Zero's current physical age is that of an uncle, Zero still nodded.
"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I really don't know what I would do." Lacey said while sitting on the sofa.
"If you want to thank, just thank that person, his name is Glinton." Zero said while shaving, "My situation is actually similar to yours, and I was also helped by him."
"That's it."
"Why did you come out alone? Is your family still in Helworth?" Although it felt a little inappropriate, Zero was curious about what the situation in Helworth was like now, so he asked.
"...My family is behind bars."
"prison?"
"They put all the Helworth people in jail. Some rich people can avoid being caught by paying money, but they will also be taken away to work as laborers." Lacey replied.
"Does prison mean simply confinement?"
"I don't know, but every time I see a Yipur man walking out of prison covered in blood." Lacey's eyes were a little dim, "They will probably die in prison."
"Yeah." Zero nodded silently, and then washed his face.
Glinton came back soon, carrying two bags in his hands.
"Put on these clothes, the same goes for you." Glinton said, taking out two pairs of clothes from the bag and handing them to Lacey and Zero respectively.
"Do I want it too?"
"The clothes you are wearing are no better than those of a beggar. Although you are not from Helworth and you don't have to worry about being arrested, it is better to change into something better." Glinton said as he took out bread, apples and other items from the bag.
food.
"If you're hungry, just eat." Finally, Glinton took out a novel, then sat on the bed and started reading.
Zero took a look at the cover. It was probably a romance novel. I really couldn't tell what kind of book Glinton liked to read.
Lacey hesitated for a moment, but finally came to the table and started eating.
"I will send you back after the Ypres raid is over," Glinton said while reading the book.
"..." Lacey seemed to want to say something, but didn't say it.
At night, the three of them lay on the bed and fell asleep.
"...Woo..." Since Ling was sleeping very lightly, he heard a sound similar to sobbing. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lacey hugging the pillow and seemed to be crying.
After seeing Zero, Lacey quickly wiped her tears.
"Yes, I'm sorry, did I wake you up?"
"No, I'm not asleep." Zero said, "Are you thinking about Helworth?"
"...I was thinking about things in prison." Lacey said, "Actually, I was thrown into prison too."
"What happened in prison?"
"That Yipur man, he rushed into the prison and killed everyone." At this point, Lacey's body trembled uncontrollably, "What kind of contract did he have that made his body very strong and relaxed?"
It can tear people's bodies apart. When he rushed into the crowd, I escaped by hiding in the corpse. But, but, my parents, and my friends, they all...
.”
Lacey's lips trembled and her face began to turn pale.
"When I hid in the corpse, their eyes were still open, as if they were looking at me and asking me why I was hiding. I was so scared. I obviously don't look like that. Obviously...
.”
At this moment, Zero felt a chill on his back, as if something was coming. Through the window, Zero seemed to see a shadow flashing past the window.
"Hey, stop her quickly." The Lord of the Ruins suddenly said.
"What, who are you talking about?"
"That woman, comfort her quickly and stop being afraid!" The Lord of the Ruins said in a somewhat urgent tone, "Her fear will attract that guy."
"That rascal?"
"There's no time to explain, hurry up!"
Zero thought for a moment, then came to Lacey and hugged Lacey in his arms.
"It's okay, they won't blame you. The source of all evil is just the Yipur man. Your family and friends will be very happy if they know that you are still alive." Zero hugged the trembling Lacey and said,
"We will take you back to Helworth when this is over, and then everything will be over."
"...Thank you." Lacey's trembling gradually stopped. Ling breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window. The huge figure had disappeared.
"That guy still maintains his true form, it's really troublesome!" At the same time, the Lord of the Ruins said.
"What the hell is that."
"The Lord of Fear, he is also one of the root demons."
"Why didn't you let me capture him this time?"
"Invincible." Rarely, the Lord of the Ruins said, "If it doesn't turn into a contract, it will definitely be invincible."
