One of the children shouted in surprise, but then he saw Xiuge standing behind Marlena, carrying the heavy backpack for her, so nervousness and fear immediately took over his face.

Seeing this, Marlena quickly comforted her, while Xiuge could only stand there quietly with a smile on her face, watching the girl who was leading the way introduce her origins and identity.

After the small residents calmed down a little, Shuge said: "I know some healing magic. Maybe I can cure Mr. Felix... But only if you trust me and let me in."

As he spoke, he gently moved his fingers to create simple magic patterns, and the children were surprised to find that clean water slowly appeared in the empty cups placed on the table beside them, while the saucers appeared out of thin air.

There were a few extra slices of slightly rough bread.

Sometimes, winning children's trust is so easy.

The appearance of food out of thin air attracted everyone's attention, and it was only then that Xiuge discovered that there were eight children gathered in this room. Each of them was more immature than Marlena, and the youngest among them was

I'm afraid she's just four years old. She's a girl. At this moment, she is looking at the bread on the table eagerly, as if she hopes to get some of it.

This purest and most primitive desire made Xiuge's mood fluctuate a little, so he sighed and performed the magic trick again, doubling the amount of magic bread in the plate, and then the hungry children were finished.

Overcoming their own dullness, they looked at Xiuge with admiration and vigilance, while making way for this strange young mage to enter the room.

"The bread is delicious! The water is also sweet!"

The eldest child who tasted water and bread in the name of "testing poison" happily announced the results of his "experiment", which made Xiuge even more unhappy.

As a spellcaster, he knew exactly what the drinking water and food he created tasted like. Weilin had even commented before that her original words were "tears mixed with toothpaste" and "sawdust mixed with grass leaves."

While the children were busy sharing the rare food, Shuge was led by Malena to the innermost room. On the only bed with an old mattress, he saw an unconscious person with a face on his face.

Injured man with brown hair.

This is Felix.

Shuge guessed correctly. This was the young man who led the members of the Mutual Aid Association to protest in front of the Peace Newspaper Office before the incident in Salem City, and was eventually taken away by the police.
