Chapter 399 Orphans
“This is it…”
After going deep into the slum, Anves waited and watched again Look at the direction of fate and confirm that the target you are looking for is in this area.
At this moment, he suddenly had a feeling in the heart and looked to one side, an alley, where there seemed to be a little accident.
In the eyes of Anves, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding something, hurriedly ran out of a nearby dark alley.
He has brown hair and pitch black eyes. Although his face looks ordinary, he looks very attractive. He was wearing a shabby burlap coat that was obviously too big, and he looked no different from the average poor boy nearby.
“God damn it, how dare you run away?! Stop me, or else I’ll catch you and break your legs!”
And behind him , Two ferocious-looking refugees with sticks, quickly chased out. And while chasing, he scolded fiercely, constantly threatening the teenagers who ran away in front.
And the boy in front turned a deaf ear to this, just tightened the item in his arms again, and at the same time accelerated the speed of escape.
When you look closely, you can see that what the boy is holding in his arms like some kind of treasure is just an ordinary bag of brown bread.
As soon as the boy appeared, Anves’ eyes immediately locked on him.
Although the boy’s appearance is no different from that of peers in other slums, from his fate perspective, the number of fate favors on the boy can be said to be astonishingly thick, just like a splendid star sea.
Apart from Fiona, he was the most blessed person Anves had ever seen.
Anves was even a little skeptical. He was able to predict this position, and it was because of the strong fate on the boy that he was attracted as an alternative ‘fortuitous encounter’.
It just seems that the story that belongs to him has not officially begun, which leads him to be in an embarrassing living environment.
At this moment, as if by coincidence, the direction in which the boy and the two refugees were chasing and fleeing just happened to charge straight towards Anves who was standing in the middle of the road.
Not immediately intervening, Anves leaned slightly to the side of the road to make way out.
But in the dark, Anves has left an observation mark on the boy’s body with spirit strength, and he can be found again at any time.
Not having time to pay attention to Anves, the teenager nimbly dashed across the avenue and into another dark alley. Then skillfully climbed over a low wall at the end, and disappeared into a large shabby shack behind disordered and in a mess.
Although the two refugee men are adults, they are not as flexible as the teenagers. Because they lost the trace of the teenagers, they can only leave foul-mouthed after searching for a while.
Under Anves’ spiritual gaze, the escaped teenager, through a hidden passage between several shacks, drilled out of another shack area.
After realizing that he had gotten rid of the pursuers behind him, the teenager relaxed and walked towards his real home.
After entering a low hut at the foot of the city wall, the teenager carefully closed the door and held it with a wooden stick before entering the inner room.
“I’m back—”
Hearing his voice, a slender girl with silver white hair and pale green eyes walked out of the room, welcome his return.
Although her face is dirty, it can still be seen from the shape of her face that she is a beauty in the bud, but an ugly azure black huge birthmark almost covers the left half of her face, completely ruining all beauty.
However, on the back of the girl’s left hand, she could see a crystal-like structure.
That’s a sign of crystallizing disease.
“Lanton’s big brother, you’re back.”
Seeing the boy’s silhouette, the girl’s vigilant eyes flashed with relief.
The two originally lived with their parents in a small village outside the city and had a happy family.
But the good times didn’t last long. A gang of robbers ransacked the village. Their parents resisted desperately and managed to let them escape from the mountainside trail, but they were killed by the thieves.
However, while the thieves were looting, a wind of crystallisation suddenly invaded the village, and most of the thieves who were not even professionals died directly from crystals. Half of them also fled.
The two who escaped were also not spared, but fortunately, because they fled the hardest hit area in advance, the crystallized dust they encountered in the crystallized wind was already very thin.
It seems that because of this, the boy was lucky not to suffer from crystallization disease, but the girl younger than him was not spared.
The homeland has been destroyed, and they have to leave their homes and seek refuge in the city of Malamoth.
Because they have no money and no experience, the two were almost cheated by the villain and sold it at first. Fortunately, they were able to find a place to live in the slum with the help of a tavern Boss at a critical moment. It’s been several months.
“Don’t worry, Leah, big brother will find a way to save enough money to ask the priest to cure your strange disease.”
Put the bag in his arms on the On the side, the boy pulled up the girl’s thin little hand to look at it, and touched the part of the crystal in distress.
“It’s alright, big brother, Leah is no longer in pain. Although it was painful at first, there is no feeling there anymore.”
Gently shook the head , The girl looked at her hand, pretending to be strong and showing a smile.
“Brother, let’s cook, Leah is hungry.”
“Okay, let’s start cooking!”
Speaking, boy Pour the contents of the bag on the dark, tattered wooden table.
Thirty-seven Saint Messia Copper Coins, and two loaves of brown bread, which is what he paid for a day as a waiter at Old Bill’s tavern. Fortunately, he was already familiar with the terrain of this slum, so he was not caught. Those thugs took it.
He carefully poured out today’s harvest. After counting it twice, he dug out a jar from under the corner of the indoor wall, carefully poured the coins into it, and buried it again.
Next, he held a black amulet of unknown material on his chest, closed his eyes and prayed earnestly to the God of Wind in the north, hoping to bless himself and the younger sister’s safety.
The amulet he accidentally picked up on the way to escape, although he didn’t know what it was, it gave him a kind of intimacy, so he always wore it on his body.
While the boy was doing all this, the girl started to light a fire and boil water, ready to start cooking bread.
After the water boiled, the boy threw the brown bread he brought back into the pot and boiled it slowly. Then he put the cooked bread in two bowls, took out a small bottle hidden in the far corner of the room, and cherished a little salt in the two bowls.
After thinking about it, he sprinkled some extra into the girl’s bowl.
“It’s time to eat.”
Sitting at the table, the boy and girl are ready to enjoy this shabby dinner.
It’s just that this meal is destined to be unable to eat safely.
Bang——
With a loud bang, the dilapidated wooden door was kicked open! The silhouette of the two villains who were chasing the boy before appeared at the gate.
“Aren’t you very good at running? Mice, run another one for Lao Tzu now!”
