Hearing the worried voice of the girl next to him, Lehman realized that he was abnormal, put away his somewhat abrupt smile, looked helplessly at the two people beside him, and found their identities in his memory.
Catherine always wears a dark purple and white striped nun's uniform. She has a solemn and pious expression under her long brown hair, but she can always erase her aloofness every time she faces the children.
Her reassuring smile and kind words made her the closest life teacher to the children in the orphanage.
Ada is the eldest among the children, she must be 14 years old this year. In my impression, she is always beside Catherine and taking care of Lehman and the others. She is also the eldest sister to everyone. Usually she is not like the others in her free time.
Instead of playing around like children or training their fighting skills endlessly, they quietly sewed cute patterns on their clothes with Catherine in a corner. The buns on the cuffs of Lehman's shirt were sewn by Ada herself.
of.
The information flashed through his mind instantly, Lehman said easily
"Teacher Catherine, Sister Ada, I'm fine, I'm just a little dizzy."
Catherine gently touched Lehman's forehead with her hand, but sighed helplessly.
"The fever should have subsided. If you sleep well tonight, you should be fine tomorrow. Don't push yourself too hard in the future. You should also pay attention to your body when training. God will not want you to overtax your body like this, my child.
”
Lehman nodded slightly in response
"I understand, Teacher Catherine."
And Ada also complained quickly
"Lehman is always like this. He only talks perfunctorily. Teacher Katherine waits for her to heal. You must talk to him carefully. She won't listen to what I say at all."
Catherine smiled, stood up and touched Ada's beautiful blond hair and said softly
"Okay, I understand. But let him sleep peacefully in the ward tonight. Let's talk about anything tomorrow. Don't disturb his rest when we go out."
After saying that, he led Ada out of the room, and Lehman closed his eyes and sank into the depths of his soul.

Verdes's spirit body gradually sank, and he said tentatively while looking at the looming light spot that looked a little dull
"Little Hill??"
The light spots dispersed, and Little Hill squatted on the spot with his back to Verdis, feeling unusually depressed
"Obviously I have been waiting for Brother Verdis, but you quickly went to reality after you woke up. Obviously you just met them..."
Verdis paused in the air for a moment, looking at Little Hill's thin spiritual body. This was the first time he heard Little Hill express such feelings, and he also realized the problem with his actions.
In fact, it's not that he doesn't care about Little Hill, on the contrary, he cares very much about this child who has been accompanying him. It's just that this body opened his eyes just now and attracted Catherine. If he doesn't deal with reality, he will
I am worried that there will be more leaks and unnecessary trouble.
That’s why I immediately chose to deal with Catherine and Ada.
But for Xiao Hill, this is completely different from the previous choices he made in the academy. The reasons why he quickly returned to reality in the academy are that one is that the situation is often in an emergency state, and the other is that they are all things that Terrell is familiar with.
People.
But now Verdis's actions have shaken Little Hill, because this time, I am afraid that in Little Hill's eyes, this approach is no longer what it used to be. To her, this is Verdis's interpretation of dreams and
Realistic choices...
Verdis leaned down and sat next to Xiao Hill, turning his head to look at the child beside him.
"Xiao Hill, you are wrong. You are like a sister to me. I am very happy to have a family like you, and of course I remember the past.
I remember the scene when I tried my best to rescue you that day, and I also remember the sleep of my soul that you endured for me.
I remember your nostalgia for your hometown. I remember that in the Forbidden Forest, you woke me up again and again and finally took my body to the final life.
I remember that you tore apart the enemy's illusory dream and dragged me out in the light tower. I remember that you caressed my forehead on the top of the light tower and fell into a deep sleep with me.
I remember them all, and of course I remember my promise to you. I will protect you and take you to find your hometown. I have never forgotten... Hill."
Little Hill's eyes flickered and he looked back at Verdis. He was moved but slightly tilted his head and felt puzzled
"Then why??? Why do you care so much about the actual situation?"
Verdis smiled and gently rubbed her wandering little head, recalling the profound instructions before waking up and Xiao Hei's first words.
.............
"Secret is the only way you can survive."
.............
"From the moment you step into the fog, fate will roll in and you can't escape."
............
An inexplicable sense of urgency flashed slightly deep in his heart, and he sighed and then said slowly
"Xiao Hill, it's not that I don't care. I just don't want to reveal any more clues. Our existence is abnormal.
Once exposed, I worry that even if I risk my life, I won’t be able to save you, let alone take you back to your hometown.
Of course, I can't complete my own plan, can you understand? Xiao Hill."
Xiao Hill breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously, smiled carefully, and asked as calmly as possible
"Is it Xiao Hei?"
Verdes was stunned for a moment but smiled
"Well, it was my first friend. It was a talking cat."
"It can talk~ It's so magical. I wish I could find it."
Verdes gently raised his head and said softly
"Yeah, I hope I can find it."
While expressing emotion verbally, I was also silently sorting out the current clues in my heart.
Judging from the memory of this body, they should still be in the kingdom now, and judging from the fact that Leman lived in Lenk City before, this orphanage located outside the Light Tower City should not be far away from Lenk City.
Too far.
In such a world, it is impossible to build an orphanage outside the light tower. Just protecting the safety here is incredible. Moreover, the living environment here is much better than the impression of ordinary families in the city. It is difficult for Wei to
Erdis does not doubt the power behind this building.
However, by avoiding the light tower, it seems that it is not a force that can get on the stage. Before the purpose of the orphanage is clear, it may not be too easy to borrow their power.
And with his current identity reconstructed, it is not easy to contact Iser and the others again, and it is easy to expose his identity and let the real enemy notice something.
Thinking of this, Verdis sighed deeply. He wanted to ask Xiao Hill who seemed to know something next to him, but he also understood that this was not a good time.
Xiao Hill noticed the hesitant look, turned his head and asked with a smile
"Brother Verdis, what's wrong?"
Verdis looked at Little Hill's smart eyes, gently smoothed her shiny hair, and chuckled
"It's nothing, I just like the quiet state now. Maybe it's a good choice to sleep like this again."
After saying that, he lay down gently, and Little Hill gently burrowed into his heart.
Enjoying the emptiness deep in the soul, burying the impetuous consciousness at that moment...
