The loud bell rang from afar. When the children of the Griffin House heard the bell, they all smiled with joy. Then they put down what they were doing and trotted towards the canteen to gather.
"It's time to eat."
Irene took Sania's hand and told her the meaning of the bell: "One ring of the bell means that it's time to eat. You need to run to the cafeteria immediately. If you are late, there will be no leftovers for you. Ring twice.
Then you need to gather in the backyard, and then some major events will often be announced. Once the bell rings three times, it means that a powerful enemy is attacking, or a disaster has broken out, and you need to evacuate immediately. At that time, in addition to protecting your own safety
, nothing else matters."
As if thinking of something, Erin shook her head again: "However, the situation of three rings almost never happens. Since I can remember, only when the ghost king Rhodes led the necromancers to plunder, a group of wandering evil corpses
When the witches attacked Mingyue City, there were only three rings."
Sania was a little confused: "King of Ghosts? Isn't Rhodes the Lord of the Undead? Why do you call him that?"
Erin's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still replied: "That is a contemptuous name for him. My parents died in the battle launched by the Necromancer. I will not call him an honorific like Lord of the Undead." As if she could see the disappointment in Irene's heart, Sania also felt a little uncomfortable, so she reached out and patted her on the back.
Faced with Sania's comforting gesture, Irene just smiled, and soon recovered from her previous grief, with that cheerful smile on her face again, as if all the pain in the past had been thrown away.
Behind her head, she took Sania's hand and said, "If you don't go to the canteen quickly, all the food will be eaten."
Sania responded with a smile, and the girls held hands and walked toward the cafeteria together.
At the end of the sky, the angry saint was glaring at the devil standing with his hands behind his back.
Saint Isaac asked loudly: "You are plotting against me! You know that if I can't return to the clouds, I won't be able to bring a solution to the food problem to those people. In the end, only disappointment awaits them, and they will definitely do something terrible."
action."
"Before those zombies lose their minds, you can stop all this at any time." Lucifer replied calmly, "You only need to admit that you have lost and agree to one of my requests, just like we agreed at the beginning.
”
"I will never compromise with evil." The saint let out a low roar, not accepting the devil's proposal at all. He turned his head to the side, still looking at the humans below, "Even if I can't help them, I
I still have full confidence in them, and I believe that mankind will unite and overcome all difficulties we face."
At the feet of the two of them, Sania also entered the cafeteria under the leadership of Irene. In the spacious room, two long wooden tables were placed as a whole, and the children sat neatly on both sides of different long tables according to gender.
, What are you waiting for?
Irene brought Sania to the long table belonging to girls, found two adjacent empty seats and sat down.
Although the children gathered here, no one made a sound. They all looked eagerly in one direction, where a tall and thin middle-aged woman looked at everyone with a stern face. Sania recognized that person, who was in front of her not long ago.
Madeli, who took away the drunkards from the house, was also the manager in Erin's words. She was responsible for handling all the big and small things in the Griffin House.
After confirming the number of people, Madeleine began to distribute food to each child, and Sania also got her share, a small piece of dry, hard black bread, and a piece of raw meat that smelled fishy. p>
"Is this what you eat?" Sania said in surprise. Even during her journey with the saints, she had never eaten such unpalatable food.
Eileen nodded: "Since the flames of the world went out, we have less and less food to eat. At the beginning, we could still eat fresh vegetables. Later, the food supply became less and less.
Now, there is only so much in a day."
While talking, Irene wrapped black bread with raw meat, put it in her mouth and chewed it hard. The food should have been difficult to swallow and tasted like chewing wax, but she ate it with gusto. She covered her mouth with her hands to prevent any bits of bits from coming out of her mouth.
Leaked, this is the only food she can eat today, and she will be very intolerant of even the slightest waste.
"I heard that eating raw meat will make people very weak and cause physical problems." Sania said with some worry.
Irene wiped her mouth and said: "I know, but do you have any good ideas? The flames in the world have been completely extinguished. I heard Ms. Madley said that it was done by one of the devils in hell. The devil took away the world.
All the flames have left the world with only darkness and cold, so it would be nice to have these raw meats to eat."
Eileen paused and then added: "Sometimes I envy those barbarians. Have you ever heard of barbarians? They live in the westernmost part of the continent, in the wilderness called Crulode. I heard that they don't even know about barbarians.
Without the use of flames, they eat raw meat from their prey every day and live a life of consuming hair and drinking blood. Even if all the flames in the world are extinguished, it will not have any impact on them."
When Irene mentioned barbarians, Sania shook her head. She had never heard of the existence of such strange creatures, but her eyes were firmly attracted by Irene's story, and she kept imagining in her mind how such creatures could survive without fire.
Continue to live in the world. Perhaps only barbarians will not be affected by the silence of the flame.
At the end of the sentence, Irene turned her attention to the raw meat in front of Sania, with a bit of desire in her eyes: "If you really don't want to eat it, just give it to me."
Sania frowned slightly at this moment, as if she recalled certain memories in her mind. Although the flames of the world were extinguished, not all the food she ate on the way to this place with the saint was cold.
She clearly remembers that Saint Isaac gave her warm cooked meat.
Thinking of this, Sania couldn't help but sigh softly: "It would be great if Isaac could still stay here. He knows how to heat food and will definitely solve the current trouble."
High in the sky, Isaac seemed to hear the girl's prayer. At this moment, he closed his eyes, and the power of the saint began to pass along the bond between him and the girl.
On the side, Lucifer just looked at him indifferently, with no intention of interfering at all.
Sania, who was silently calling the name of the saint in her heart, suddenly felt a heat in her waist. She reached out to pick up the hot object and found that it was the seal left by Isaac.
The round stone seal became extremely hot at this moment, and scalding hot air erupted from it. Sania didn't hold the seal for long before she couldn't bear the heat, so she quickly threw it on the table in front of her.
Then blow on your burned palms.
After discovering the change in the seal, Sania's eyes suddenly brightened. Perhaps her prayers had come true. She took the fishy raw meat slices and spread them on the surface of the seal.
The bright red raw meat covered the young man who was sacrificed in the flames engraved on the seal. As the faint white smoke rose, the color of the raw meat gradually darkened under the influence of heat, and you could faintly hear it.
There is a sizzling sound, bursts of meaty aroma spread around, and you can even see warm fat dripping from the edge of the meat slices.
At this time, the children nearby sniffed their noses, trying to find the source of the scent. Since the flames of the world were completely extinguished, they had not smelled such a pure smell of meat for a long time. The smell was not raw meat with a strong fishy smell, but
It’s delicious and piping hot cooked meat.
The same was true for Irene. Seeing that Sania had found a way to heat raw meat like a magic trick, her eyes straightened up at this moment, and her stomach made a few gurgling sounds that even she herself could not hear clearly.<
/p>
Seeing that the seal worked, Sania's face showed joy. She was not in a hurry to eat the cooked meat. Instead, she looked at Irene aside. She was patiently guiding her to familiarize herself with the entire Griffin House.
Erin was explaining, and her heart was filled with gratitude.
"Eat it, Irene." Sania said, "This is the seal left by the saint for me. I didn't expect it to have such effects. You don't have to eat raw meat anymore in the future."
Erin showed a grateful smile and did not refuse Sania's kindness. She picked up the cooked meat on the seal and ate it.
Although when she picked up the cooked meat, the scalding hot meat made it difficult for Irene to hold her hands steadily, but she endured the hotness and ate it in one bite before it cooled down, as if to
Just let all that heat stay in your body.
Sania patted her back and told her to eat slowly and not to choke in the middle of eating. At this moment, a young male voice came from the side: "You... how did you do that?"
Yes? Can you heat up my meat too?"
Sania looked up and saw that whether it was the girl on the table on her side or the boy on the other long table, they were all looking at her, presumably because they were attracted by the piece of cooked meat.
With curiosity and surprise, one of the boys boldly stepped forward, walked up to her, and asked her.
Before Sania could answer, she heard a sound of scolding: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go back to your seat quickly?"
Hearing the scolding, the boy stuck out his tongue helplessly. Without waiting for Sania's reply, he hurriedly returned to his original seat, as if if he slowed down a beat, something bad would happen.
As the boy sat down, the tall and thin woman, the manager Madeleine, came over after distributing food to all the children.
As soon as she got close, Madeleine's brows furrowed. She immediately smelled that there seemed to be some smell nearby that shouldn't be present. It was clearly the smell of roasted meat. Since the flames were completely silent, she had
I haven’t smelled this kind of smell for a long time, it’s simply impossible.
A wave of heat rushed toward Madeli. In front of Sania, the seal belonging to the saint was still emitting heat. In an era when the flames were silent, it was like a blazing fire, enough to dispel all the cold nearby.
.
"What is that?" Madeli asked Sania. As the manager of the Griffin House, Madeli had never seen such a strange thing in any child, and she had only been led by the Saint.
Only the girl who comes can explain everything that happened before her eyes.
"This is the seal left to me by Isaac. As long as I see that seal, I will think of him." The girl brought by the saint replied.
Thinking of everything about the saint, Sania's heart was filled with warmth. Just like what the saint said when he handed the seal to her, when she held the seal, nothing could scare her. "Really...it turns out this is something left by the saint."
Madeleine nodded. She stretched out a finger and carefully placed it on the surface of the seal. However, she immediately retracted her hand because it was so hot that her expression became extremely joyful. It was so hot that even if there was no fire, the seal was even hotter than fire.
This is exactly what people need urgently right now.
Seeing this, Madeli clapped her hands vigorously, and after all the children looked over, she spoke:
"Today, the Griffin House will welcome a new family member. Maybe some of you have heard about it, but you must have never seen her in person. She is Sania brought by the saints.
, she will be a member of the Griffin Family from now on, you must get along well with her and treat her like your own brothers and sisters."
Following Madeli's introduction, the children nearby also set their sights on Sania, with a bit of hope and curiosity in their eyes. The peculiarity of Sania has already been noticed by the children nearby.
After the introduction, Ms. Madeli returned to Sania and asked her:
"Sanya, the saint's seal can generate heat like fire. This is a precious thing that we urgently need right now. With it, each of us can eat cooked food in the dark age without flames. It belongs to you,
So I beg you to lend it to us. Even if you refuse, it doesn’t matter. The saints sending you here is a great encouragement to us."
"This is the only thing Isaac left me. I should treasure it well..."
Sania lowered her voice, facing the children nearby who were full of expectations, especially Irene's eyes that were almost shining with light, she finally changed her words: "However, if Isaac is still here, he will definitely be happy to help everyone,
How can I let him down? If you need this seal, then take it and use it."
The children nearby cheered with joy, and Ms. Madeleine also showed a gentle smile in her eyes. Surrounded by everyone, Irene's smile was particularly bright. This joy eventually infected Sania, making her no longer
Worried about losing the seal.
"Saniya...well done."
At the end of the sky, the saint was also happy from the bottom of his heart for the girl's choice. He exhaled a long breath, and even looked at Lucifer with sharp eyes, as if he scorned everything the devil said before: "Look
Are you here? This is the choice of mankind. What do you want to prove to me?"
The devil raised a finger and made a hissing gesture, indicating that he just had to wait patiently.
