Fifty-one: warm home

After walking out of the big room, Marin heard some small sounds. He turned his head and saw the little squirrel in the grass.

Wait a minute, isn't this little squirrel the halfling's pet?

Marin walked over. When the little squirrel saw Marin, it immediately bristled. However, it seemed that it was injured and could only move with its two front legs, so it was lifted into Marin's hand.

"What is that?" The old instructor Hoffman who stopped saw the small animal in Marin's hand. As a well-informed old man, he immediately recognized that it was a monster: "Spirit, horse

Lin, kill it."

"No, this is the halfling apprentice's pet. It no longer has an owner." After saying that, Marin used the healing wound in the blessing spell to heal the little squirrel's injury.

After receiving the treatment, the little squirrel stopped baring its teeth and claws. It seemed that it finally recognized Marin, the stranger who had talked to its owner.

The spirit's intelligence was much better than that of ordinary animals, so it fell silent. Marin didn't know why it survived, because if the spirit recognizes a master, they will fight for the master until the last moment.

Maybe he was thrown out of the house by a halfling.

With this thought, Marin put it on the ground: "Let's go, your master is dead. Go back to the wild and live a good life." After saying that, Marin was about to walk to the carriage, but found this little squirrel.

Lowering its head, it looked towards the mansion, which was being cordoned off by the punishers.

Marin stopped. At this time, thunder came from the distance. It sometimes rained in Kachibao in the afternoon in autumn.

Looking at the little elf, Marin finally whistled at it.

When it raised its head and looked at him, Marin smiled and said, "Come with me."

The little squirrel shook his head very humanely, and then chose to jump up to a tree not far away without looking back. He got into the crown of the tree and disappeared without a trace.

Marin shook his head and returned to the carriage. Old Hoffman opened the door for him: "A little animal spirit, even if it has had an owner before, is still a spirit. Don't expect it to be loyal to other people. If

If there is a chance in the future, I can help you find a magic pet at the Mage Tower."

"Thank you, mentor."

"You don't have to be polite to me, kid. When I think that the apprentices of the Church of God of War on the eighth ladder died all over the place, but you, the little apprentice on the tenth ladder, survived and were purified by a spirit turned into a girl in the church, I feel so angry.

I think you have already given me face this time." After speaking, Old Hoffman pointed at the carriage: "Why don't you get in?"

"No, mentor, I want to take a walk."

"Okay, come on, this is an umbrella. Each of us has to face a lot of choices from birth to death. Everyone has to pay for their choices... Be careful along the way. I want someone to look for it."

Where is the missing second son? I don’t want you to be on the missing list.” After saying that, the old Hoffman got into the carriage.

As the motorcade left the mansion, Marin walked on the sidewalk, his mind filled with Sarah's last actions.

Just because of a piece of undelivered news, all these young people in their prime died. This world uses life and death to verify everyone's fate, which makes Marin very uncomfortable.

Because he discovered that the world is so dangerous, and there has never been a day that stimulated Marin to become stronger like today.

He must become stronger, the stronger the better, because he wants to save himself, and even more, he wants to save others. Maya and Faye are all his relatives and friends in this world, and he does not want to lose these hard-won friends and relatives.

Thunder sounded again and the rain began to fall. Marin held an umbrella and walked on the street with fewer pedestrians due to the rain.

After walking for a while, Marin felt that there was no place to go, so he decided to go back to the church and ask for barbecue from his sister. With today's rain, there was no possibility of a night bonfire.

So I walked around the corner and saw several police carriages and a bunch of policemen carrying something out of the alley.

Out of curiosity, Marin walked over.

Then a policeman recognized the religious robe and cloak he was wearing: "Sir, are you from the Church of the Goddess of Harvest?"

"Yes, what's the matter?" Seeing the middle-aged man making a blessing gesture that a devout believer should make, Marin followed suit: "What's the matter, fellow believer?"

"That's right, we just carried out a deceased person from the alley. According to colleagues at the other intersection, he was from your church."

Marlin was stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously felt that there were so many coincidences in the world, until he saw the pale face of the second son of the Domingo family.

How come all this bad luck happened to me?

………………

No longer thinking about going back, Marin followed the gentlemen from the police station back to the church. As soon as he entered the hall, he heard the old bishop of the Ares Church arguing with old Hoffman.

Seeing Marin come in, old Hoffman smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Didn't you say you wanted to take a walk? You're back early."

"It's this kid! I gave him a team of apprentices! They all died but he's fine! Are you trying to hide something, old guy?" The old bishop was furious when he saw Marin: "Give him some food.

Divine Detection!”

"I found the second son of the Domingo family. He died in an alley controlled by the police. Mentor, do you need to see the police gentlemen?" Marin did not regard the old guy's warning as a threat at all.

"Look, someone on my side also died. He was the second son of the earl. The eldest brother had no heirs. If the eldest brother died, it would be his turn to sit in that position. I believe he and the prince's seventeenth daughter

You won’t be far behind in comparison.”

This sentence is reasonable - after all, no matter how much the prince's seventeenth daughter is talked about, there is no way to compare with the second son of a powerful earl, who is really the first heir after the death of his eldest brother.

So the old bishop of the God of War Guild stopped arguing. After listening to the police's report, he began to worry about a question - who killed his second son.

But before they could figure out the reason, new news came over there. The eldest son of the Domingo family had just been assassinated in the street. The murderer's method was very sophisticated. He used the crowd as a cover to stab the victim from the waist.

The blow escaped, and the eldest son held the wound for a long time without shouting a word. He must have injured his lungs, so he died on the street before he could say a word.

So the old men completely stopped their previous war of words and began to quarrel over who was in charge of this serial murder - the eldest son of the Domingo family is a believer in the Church of God of War, and his younger brother is the representative of the Church of Harvest.

Both sides hold different opinions on this matter, and soon it looks like they are about to start a fight.

But all this really has nothing to do with Marin. He patted his legs and prepared to go back to the room to find Maya.

"Where are you going?!" Old Hoffman and the old bishop shouted in unison.

"Go and rest." Marin turned around and replied.

So the two old men immediately turned around and started arguing again, but this time it was different from the previous conversation.

"I call you my apprentice, what does it care about you?!"

"What's wrong with my name? An apprentice like him is a secret to your Harvest Goddess Church!"

"Get out of here!"

Marin really didn't want to see the well-dressed old man in front of the two people cursing like a shrew.

………………

Marin had previously rented a small room in a small block behind the church to live with his sister Maya when his adoptive father went out to work. So when he opened the door today, he saw two girls, Maya and Faye, having a barbecue.

Work on the shelf.

Seeing Marin coming back, the two girls smiled very happily: "Welcome back! Did your work go well today?"

Marin thought for a moment - well, he chopped down some Chaos, a zombie bride, and some random unlucky ones: "It's not bad."

What he said was a little insincere, but Maya didn't notice it. Faye pursed her lips, handed the kebab in her hand to Maya, and then walked over: "Marin, what's wrong?"

"Some people of the same age that I just met died, and there are some...unspeakable feelings." In front of Faye, a smart little guy, Marin didn't express his intention to lie and talk about seeing ghosts during the day. He just said calmly.

Finished the whole thing.

Faye smiled, stretched out her hand and hugged Marin from behind.

"Don't be afraid, I will love you."

"Pull me down. If you become a zombie bride, your parents are not allowed to kill me, so for the sake of everyone, I will definitely protect you." Marin smiled and held her hand.

"I won't become that kind of monster." Shaye snorted, and then let go of her hand: "It's raining today, and there will be no show tonight. If you want to eat something, Maya and I will make it for you." The girl said

Wan smiled at Marin. This smile made Marin very happy and made him want to protect the girl in front of him even more.

"I want to eat barbecue. Let's have barbecue tonight." Marin took off his coat, hung it on the hanger, then walked into the kitchen and looked at the girls: "I'm here to help."

"That's great." Maya was very happy, and then came to Marin: "Brother, let's go dancing again tomorrow."

"No problem, dear sister." Marin smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Maya on the head.

At this moment, Marin even had a small wish, hoping that this moment would last forever.

But...every day is a new day, and every day is a beautiful day for him and the two girls.

This is the best choice.

Thinking of this, Marin noticed the smile and flush on Faye's face. He reached out and touched the girl's forehead, and found that there was no fever as he thought.

"What's wrong with you? I thought you were sick."

"Nothing, I just feel that you are back safe and sound, and the emotional drama between Mr. Sherlock and Miss Jane Moriarty can continue again."

The girl said with excitement.

This made Marin stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, Faye, the novel we are writing will continue."
