Chapter 245 Please Don't Abandon Me
This was the first time that the Fire Keeper, who had always been calm and composed, lost her composure and had such a strong outburst of emotion.
As a Fire Keeper, this is highly disqualified, as Fire Keepers need to guide and serve the Firebringer, so they cannot show strong emotions.
Even if the Firebringer they serve is a lunatic, a pervert who uses them to test the power of weapons, they can only endure it silently and pretend nothing happened.
Even if they are killed, they cannot show any other emotions, and even have to apologize after being resurrected, because they are fire keeper girls, and fire keeper girls only need to quietly guide fire bearers.
But...she now has eyes and is no longer a qualified fire keeper, so it doesn't matter if she cries.
The fire keeper girl leaned on Xia Yu and cried bitterly, as if she wanted to vent all the pain in her heart. Xia Yu just patted her back gently and did not say anything to comfort her.
At this moment, he didn't need any comfort, just a quiet support. He didn't know what kind of suffering he would endure by becoming a fire keeper, but it must be very painful.
No one knew how long this burst of crying lasted, until the Fire Keeper's voice became hoarse, and then it gradually subsided.
After venting all the emotions in her heart, the Fire Keeper wiped the corners of her eyes and raised her pitiful face.
"I'm sorry, Master Xia Yu, I lost my composure a little."
"It's okay. I understand you."
Xia Yu gently stroked the Fire Keeper's head, just like comforting a child. The Fire Keeper also squinted her eyes and leaned on Xia Yu's chest. This was the first time she felt so at ease since she became the Fire Keeper.
The warm atmosphere lasted for a long time, until the Fire Keeper's breathing became steady and she fell asleep.
Generally speaking, the Fire Keeper does not need sleep, but in order to relieve her mental fatigue, Xia Yu used mental hypnosis.
"Have a good sleep."
Looking at the fire keeper who had fallen asleep leaning on him, Xia Yu gently laid her flat on the bed.
Then, taking advantage of this time, Xia Yu used the power of the magic ring fragment to erase the burn marks on the Fire Keeper's hands. These burned hands were not the glory of being the Fire Keeper, but the remnant of past suffering.
As for other parts of the body, there were no obvious scars left, but with Xia Yu's treatment, some minor scars and hidden injuries were also erased.
Before leaving, Xia Yu covered the fire keeper with a blanket, left a note, and walked out of the room.
"Hero-sama? Is your business with the Fire Keeper Sister over?"
Xia Yu had just walked out of the room when Irina, who had been standing at the kitchen door, noticed him.
Looking at Irina who was jogging over, Xia Yu smiled and suddenly asked.
"Irina, are you willing to listen to me?"
"Ah?" Irina was stunned for a moment when she was suddenly asked this question, but soon she reacted, "Hero, I am already yours. No matter what, please just give me your orders."
"Then I don't want you to become a fire keeper, okay?"
"this……"
Irina, who thought she would immediately agree to whatever the hero said, suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
Why doesn't the hero want me to be a fire keeper? Oh my god... Is this a punishment for my weakness?
Looking at the little nun who was suddenly stunned, Xia Yu was not too surprised. After all, her life goal was to become a fire keeper. He was denying the little nun's dream and life.
Just when he wanted to comfort the little nun and tell her not to make a decision so quickly, Irina suddenly raised her serious face.
"My lord hero, I am a nun from Kalim. According to tradition, I need to go to the Undead Settlement to undergo trials before I can become a true fire keeper."
"But because I was too weak, I kept failing the dark trials in the Undead Settlement's tunnels until my body almost lost consciousness. At that time, I couldn't even commit suicide. I thought I would die in the darkness, but it wasn't until you touched me that I felt the reality of survival again."
"You clearly know my situation, but you are still willing to establish a contract with me and let me serve you. I can't become a fire keeper, but I can actually serve you by the campfire. I have always believed that this is God's mercy."
"So, Mr. Hero, I can't be a fire keeper in the first place. Since you don't want me to be a fire keeper, then I will do as you wish."
After saying this, Irina bowed slightly to Xia Yu and said again: "But can you let me continue to stay by your side and serve you? I will be obedient."
I mean, I'm not abandoning you.
However, Xia Yu felt a little emotional about Irina's attitude. It seemed that he was more important to Irina than he thought.
"Don't worry, I won't abandon you."
As he spoke, Xia Yu reached out and touched Irina's little head, and a golden light flowed in the palm of his hand.
"My hero, what is this warm feeling?"
Feeling the warmth coming from above her head, Irina couldn't help but ask. This warmth reminded her of the sun .
Xia Yu did not say anything, but controlled the power of the magic ring fragments to repair the damage on Irina's body. Irina's eyes, which had originally turned pale, gradually regained their luster.
When the spirit was completely restored, the light in Irina's eyes flickered, and the expression on her little face gradually became surprised.
"My eyes?"
Irina waved her hand in front of her eyes, then looked at Xia Yu in front of her.
"So, this is what the hero looks like."
"How is it?" Seeing Irina's relatively calm performance, Xia Yu asked, "Can you adapt?"
"I... So this is why the hero doesn't want me to be a fire keeper?"
Irina felt her vision returning and couldn't help but ask, but Xia Yu just smiled and said nothing. Looking at Xia Yu's gentle smile, Irina couldn't help but have red eyes.
"Thank you, hero!"
"Hey, why are you crying too..."
After finally comforting the crying Irina, Xia Yu felt a little stomachache. Next, he had to untie the knot in the heart of the discouraged brother Hawkwood. Could it be that the discouraged brother would also throw himself into his arms and cry...
Wow, I get goosebumps just thinking about it. This imagination is too scary. If Hawkwood dares to shed tears, he will definitely kick the other person in the face with a roundhouse kick.
The reason Hawkwood's heart knot is that he is an escapee. He was once a member of the Abyss Watchers of the Faran Undead Corps, but after the Abyss Watchers passed on the fire, he woke up again from the ash form, but ran away because of confusion and fear about his mission.
According to the original plot, it should be after the protagonist Ashes kills the Abyss Watcher that Hawkwood realizes that even Ashes can defeat the high-ranking Salary Kings.
Because of this incident, Hawkwood gained confidence and no longer stuck to wolf swordsmanship, but embarked on the path of pursuing the power of ancient dragons.
Of course, his final outcome was naturally that he was killed by the protagonist Ashes.
Anyway, no one who has anything to do with the ashes has a good ending.
