Although she has never been to a big city, Rena clearly knows that this is the countryside and a real big city is not like this.
No, she had the impression that she had been to many prosperous places, but she couldn't remember it now. Walking on the road paved by the carriage, she had been thinking about a question, why she only remembered her mother, but not her own
My father had no impression at all.
Could that master be his father?
Since she embarked on the journey, she has been trying to find her memory. The black book did not tell her about the magic of memory. That was natural. After all, it was something left by the master. How could she betray it.
Humph, you have obviously been following me for so long.
Reina suddenly patted the backpack on her back.
It's been a while since they left the town, and there were no pursuers behind them, which proved that those people thought they were still in the city, and the Adventurer's Guild would probably spend a lot of time there.
she thought optimistically.
However, at this moment, a carriage seemed to be parked in front of it. It seemed quite far away, but Rena's footsteps were very fast.
It was the carriage that left the city before, with an old man in a straw hat wearing a loose shirt, and a little girl about six years old. She had big eyes and fleshy cheeks. While her grandfather was busy repairing the carriage, she
Lying down on the carriage covered with straw, I saw Reina.
"Big sister!"
When she saw Reina, she shouted happily.
Reina paused slightly, then asked: "What's wrong?"
The old man, who was sweating profusely, wiped his face with the towel hanging around his neck. He shook his head and looked at the wheel and said, "The wheel is loose. Now we are in trouble. We have to put it back on again."
He looked a little anxious, and there were many wrinkles on his forehead.
"Would you like some help?"
Reina moved forward as she spoke. Of course, her understanding of the carriage was still in the impression that it was a carriage with four wheels. But even so, she could tell that one of the wheels was crooked.
The old man glanced at Reina, as if he didn't want to have anything to do with her, and said, "No, thank you. This requires some strength. Let's wait and see..."
Before he could finish speaking, Reina stepped forward and put her hands on it. She pushed the carriage gently and the carriage tilted up. The old man was startled, and the little girl in the carriage let out a shrill laugh with joy.
"Hey! This! Wait, right away."
He immediately hurriedly pressed the wheel in place before Reina let go.
"It's amazing! My sister is so amazing!"
The little girl in the car clapped her hands and shouted.
Reina still smiled slightly.
The old man wiped his sweat again. At this time, the anxiety on his face had disappeared, and he was replaced by a smile with a splayed eyebrow, looking a bit honest.
"Girl, you are very strong. Thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know what I would do."
"You're welcome. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
Reina nodded and then prepared to move on.
"Hey! Wait, girl, are you taking this road too? Why don't I give you a lift so that you can have someone to look after you on the way."
The old man stood beside the carriage, holding the reins of the mule and said.
Reina thought for a moment, now that the news has spread out, she might be suspected if she travels alone.
"Then I won't be polite."
She got on the carriage and sat down on the straw-covered carriage. The hard wooden boards were very uncomfortable, and the carriage was too narrow for her to straighten her legs.
It was at this time that she realized that she had grown up.
At this moment, the little girl sat next to her. She even crossed her legs. Then she turned to look at Reina and showed a bright smile. She didn't care at all that she was missing a few teeth. Looking at this smiling face
, Reina was suddenly in a trance.
She had also shown such an innocent and bright smile...
A picture flashed through her mind, and she saw a pair of dark eyes. In those pupils, which were as dark as the night, reflected her smiling face. It was an innocent face, with very bright eyes.
His eyes are extremely clear.
Was I like that before?
"Sister? Sister?"
The girl's voice came to her ears, followed by the sound of wheels rolling. These sounds brought Rena back to reality. She saw that she was holding a strange stone in her hand. It had traces of artificial carving, but the person who carved it
As a layman, I can only judge from the shape that this is a little person without facial features.
The little man was beating in Rena's hand, just as the carriage jolted.
"Are you okay?"
The old man turned back and glanced at the two of them.
"I'm fine, just...a little hot."
Reina said as she returned the small stone to the little girl.
"Don't you want it?"
The little girl showed a sad expression.
"This is your good friend."
Rena asked.
The girl nodded, and Reina smiled and said, "I think it doesn't want to leave you either."
"But don't you feel scared when traveling alone? Klaus will protect you."
She said a name that Reina had not expected. Reina seemed to have heard that name before...
Who is coming?
"The Seventh Brave Klaus?"
"Uh-huh!"
The little girl nodded sharply.
"Thank you, but I don't need anyone else to protect me anymore."
She touched the little girl's head. The latter did not speak, but lowered his head to play with the little stone man.
At this moment, the old man who had been silent until now suddenly spoke and asked:
"The girl is a person?"
"Um."
He was silent for a few seconds, as if waiting for Reina to continue speaking, but after confirming that there were no further words, he continued.
"That's very dangerous. It's not peaceful here recently."
"What happened?"
"Hey, there are so many things, and they are all terrible things."
The carriage continued to move forward, and the girl held Reina's hand and said that her hand was so beautiful while comparing it with her own.
"I heard that a village disappeared recently. No one knows what happened, not even the people above, nor the Adventurer's Guild. An entire village just disappeared inexplicably."
Hearing this, Reina frowned slightly.
It must have been in that village. I didn't expect it to reach here so quickly. The news spread so horribly.
she thought.
Now it seems that the people in the Adventurer's Guild don't believe her words.
Judging from the old man's tone, people in other villages seemed to be frightened by this incident, and they did not know that the real murderer was dead.
Although Rena wanted to say something to reassure them, thinking about her own situation, she still felt that silence was better.
"Seventh Brave Lord Klaus will definitely defeat the bad guys. He will definitely come."
The little girl raised the little stone man and shouted, it seems that this seventh brave man is her idol, she mentioned it not only for the first time.
"Speaking of which, girl, where are you going on your own? There is only one decent town like this around here, and the only thing you can go further is our poor ravine."
The old man suddenly said.
Reina thought for a while, if she directly said that she was going to the Dragon Boat Empire, the other party might be suspicious. After all, normal people would not climb over those mountains to enter the country. It would be an illegal method.
"I am an explorer, and someone entrusted me to go there to find a rare medicinal material."
She decided to panic.
The old man had his back turned to her, and he didn't know if he had seen through her lie. He just smiled lightly and said, "Really, then I wish you good luck."
Then he asked no more questions.
The wheels rolled, and the carriage carried them forward.
