Chapter 13 Sad Crying Girl
When we walked into the cave, the little girl with white hair had fainted.
I don't know if it was because he was close to fainting from exhaustion, or if he had been holding on all the way, but now that he saw that his pursuers had been dealt with, he breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't hold on any longer.
Mo Cheng used the holy light to circle the other person's body twice. The little girl had no other injuries except some skin wounds. Her coma was purely for self-protection.
…
A burst of fragrance woke Lilia up. She opened her heavy eyelids and saw a clergyman sitting on the ground barbecuing.
Was it him who saved Lilia?
I have been caught up by that group of people. Since I am not dead yet, there is no need to elaborate on the reason.
"Are you awake already ?"
Mo Cheng turned around and handed over the roasted wild boar meat in his hand, "Eat this first. Don't worry, my barbecue skills are still good. Well, at least it's edible."
Lilia took the barbecue and took a light bite. Suddenly, pain exploded on the tip of her tongue, and the numbness and spiciness rushed straight to her brain.
"Mmm... so spicy."
She wanted to throw away the barbecue in her hand, but Lilia thought it was too rude since the other party had just saved her.
"Although it doesn't taste very good, it's good for you, so it's better to eat it."
As he spoke, Mo Cheng squeezed the finger-sized fruit into juice and sprinkled it on the wild boar meat. "This thing doesn't taste very good. It is one of the raw materials for mental medicine. It can effectively relieve your fatigue after a long period of high concentration."
Mo Cheng had been living as a savage in the forest for nearly a month, relying on this fruit as a seasoning to survive. Mo Cheng, who was used to the seasonings of modern society, was completely unable to accept purely natural barbecue.
After taking a bite, she felt much better and her head was not so groggy anymore. Lilia had no choice but to endure the taste and eat until her face turned red.
"I'm much better now, thank you..."
As she was speaking, Lilia suddenly realized that she didn't know how to address the person in front of her.
"My name is Mo Cheng, and I can be considered a clergyman."
"My name is Lilia, and I am an apprentice spellcaster."
For a moment, neither of them spoke. Mo Cheng didn't know what to say. He always felt that telling her about the head was a very cruel thing to do.
He had no choice but to grill the skewers while passing them to Lilia. I don't know if it was because she was too hungry or for some other reason, but Lilia finished the skewers one by one, her eyes and nose were red from the spiciness.
Tick-tock, tick-tock…
Tears dripped, drop by drop, continuously dripping.
"Are there any relatives I can turn to?"
Lilia hugged her knees and shook her head.
"After my mother passed away, my brother and I became orphans. We have always been... together..."
Lilia spoke softly, sobbing and her body twitching slightly.
She gently talked about every little thing between her and her brother, and how the two siblings relied on and encouraged each other in their life.
The brother became a mercenary, and the reward for each mission was enough to support himself and allow his sister to complete her studies.
The younger sister did not let her brother down. With an excellent score that was more than 100 points higher than the second place and outstanding talent, Lilia received an admission letter from the top college in the Principality of Aundair - Winterhold Comprehensive College.
It can be foreseen that as long as my sister graduates successfully, she will definitely have a bright future.
"Lilia was admitted to the College of Winterhold. My brother and Lilia were very happy. He even said that he wanted to go with Lilia to see how big the capital is."
Then, misfortune befell these two siblings who depended on each other for survival.
"Lilia's hair suddenly turned white. My brother took me to see a doctor, and after that I often went out and came back very late."
The younger sister's hair suddenly turned white overnight, so the brother took her to see a doctor. He learned that it was just a rare phenomenon of atavism, which could only occur among some aristocratic families with ancient heritage.
After returning home, the elder brother conducted investigations and found that the source of his bloodline pointed to the lord, Viscount Joestar, and that he and his sister were the illegitimate children of the deceased old viscount.
What happened next was that his brother was accidentally exposed during the investigation, which made the new viscount aware of his father's romantic debts, and then he sent people to [clean up] the unnecessary bloodline for the sake of the family's reputation.
In the end, the brother risked his life to cover his sister's escape, but was eventually killed tragically by the killer.
After hearing what Lilia said, Mo Cheng felt very uncomfortable. He took out the burlap package and handed it to Lilia, "This should be yours."
The outside of the package was already stained red with blood, and one could tell how fatally badly the person carrying the package had suffered at the last moment.
What kind of injury would cause a person to bleed profusely, even soaking through the burlap?
Lilia opened the package with trembling hands and looked at the blood-stained clothes, textbooks, and even the admission letter inside.
It's this thing, it's this thing! Without it, Lilia wouldn't have to go for the checkup, wouldn't have been discovered, and her brother wouldn't have died. Without this thing, Lilia could still live happily with her brother.
It's all her fault, it's all her fault, it's all Lilia's fault...
Lilia took out the admission letter that had made her and her brother so happy that they couldn't sleep for several nights, and she sobbed and began to tear it up frantically. But fortunately, the letter was quite strong, and a big hand held down Lilia's hand that was tearing the letter.
"The admission notice from Winterhold Comprehensive Magic Academy? Great stuff."
Mo Cheng had heard of the name of this academy. [Foreign Land] had a follower system, while the Winterhold Comprehensive Magic Academy was in the Principality of Aundair, and it was also an extremely excellent talent production base even in the entire continent.
A good mage can support a team, so when players are at a low level, mage followers are very popular.
He vaguely remembered that in order to recruit followers, all the players from the [Foreign Land] went to Winterhold to try their luck. As a result, the Winterhold Comprehensive Magic Academy, which was once free to enter, raised the threshold to non-spellcasters to enter, requiring an entrance fee of 100 gold coins, in order to prevent those players who were too fanatical but did not have the corresponding strength.
"Let go, I'm going to tear it apart. My brother died because of this." Lilia grabbed Mo Cheng's hand and screamed hysterically.
"The package was made of burlap, and the items inside were soaked in blood, which means the package had been soaked in blood for a long time. At the same time, there were no obvious holes in the package, which means it was well protected."
Mo Cheng's voice was low and full of admiration, "Your brother faced a spellcaster, a patrol officer, and three guards. He was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of force and numbers, but he not only bought you time to escape, but he didn't even cause any damage to the package."
"He knew he couldn't survive, and he also knew that the notice in the package was your future guarantee, so he held on to a one in ten thousand chance that the package could be returned to you. He wanted his sister to have a happy life, and he gave his life for it."
Mo Cheng slowly pulled his hand out, "Now, do you still want to destroy it? Destroy the hope that a brother desperately left for his sister?"
