He didn't know how to comfort Lucca. He didn't expect this simple and down-and-out villager to have such a mythical experience.
"I … I miss her every day."
At this moment, Luca was sobbing uncontrollably. Murky tears flowed down his cheeks.
A man who looked to be in his fifties was sobbing. Anyone who saw him would feel bad.
Reynolds could only comfort him. "Uncle Lucca, it's okay. Don't be sad. You still have your child. Isn't your child still here? "
Lucca wiped his tears and said, "My child went missing a few months ago. He's the first villager to go missing."
"Uh … I'm sorry."
Reynolds looked at Lucca awkwardly and sighed helplessly. Because he really had nothing else to say.
Lucca didn't mind. He looked at the ceiling and said slowly, "It's okay. It's all in the past. I, Lucca, have a wife and a child. God has treated me well. I can die without regrets. "
The house was silent for a while. Lucca brought Reynolds to the village to buy some cooked food.
"Haha, it's rare for a guest to come to my house. Your friend Reynolds and I will go to the village to buy some cooked food. It's cold outside. Miss, you can wait at my house."
Lucca subconsciously treated Elena as a delicate girl and brought Renault to the village.
Reynolds stepped on the thick snow. It was as if he was strolling on the clouds. Everything was white, and it felt like a dream.
After walking for about 20 minutes, Lucca brought Reynolds to a house that looked like a tavern.
"Five pounds of cooked meat and one pound of sake."
There were almost no people in the village. Because of the weather, most of the young adults had left the village to run for their lives.
Lucca also told Reynolds that a group of Babieka's troops had come here a while ago. However, they didn't burn, kill, or loot. They might have been chased away by the weather.
Reynolds smiled and said, "Uncle Lucca, don't worry. We're here."
Lucca smiled honestly. He didn't take Reynolds's words to heart. If he knew Elena's identity and strength, who knew what he would think?
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. Luca looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back quickly. There will be a snowstorm later."
Reynolds sighed at the magical climate here and followed Luca back to the familiar little wooden house.
"Elena, I'm back."
Reynolds trembled as he ran into the house. He quickly squatted by the fireplace and rubbed his hands as he breathed. It was too cold outside.
Elena, who was sitting at the side, took off her silver armor and long boots, revealing two smooth and straight calves. She crossed one leg over the other, and her toes kept moving. It was both seductive and cute.
Seeing Reynolds like this, he said disdainfully, "I regret making you my friend now."
Reynolds did not mind at all. He was already used to Elena's sarcasm. He also roughly understood that she was only harsh with her words, but she still treated him well.
Just like that, the three of them sat by the fireplace and had a meal in silence. Eileen didn't hold back at all as she gobbled down large chunks of meat and gulped down large bowls of wine in one go. Although she was extremely bold and unrestrained, she still revealed an elegant temperament.
It was gradually getting dark outside. Or rather, in this climate, there was very little time during the day. Most of the time, it was gloomy.
Lucca found two blankets for Reynolds and Elena. The two of them slept in another small house with their backs against the fireplace.
Reynolds and Elena slept on the same bed. Elena did not mind. She placed one hand behind her head and closed her eyes. It was unknown if she was asleep. It was Reynolds's first time sleeping so close to a girl. He felt that it was a little absurd. There were also some subtle emotions in his heart.
During the day, after being chased by the Hundred-Legged Witch and walking a long distance, Reynolds was already tired. He finally could not help but fall asleep.
…
After some time, Reynolds felt someone poking his waist. He opened his eyes and found that Elena had sat up. She whispered to Reynolds, "Did you hear a baby crying outside the house?"
Reynolds was stunned. He listened carefully. Indeed, there was a baby crying outside the house. It seemed to be not far from the house.
The crying was faintly discernible. Under the cover of the whistling cold wind, this sound could actually be heard.
It was like a sound that directly penetrated the soul. It was heartbreaking and annoying.
"Elena, do you want to go out and take a look?" Reynolds asked.
At this moment, the room was pitch black. Elena, who was sleeping beside Reynolds, was wearing a milky white loose dress. She knelt on the bed. In Reynolds's eyes, she seemed to be emitting a holy radiance. This radiance made Elena even more sacred and seductive.
Elena nodded and said, "Of course I want to go out and take a look. Reynolds, come with me."
"Okay, let's go together." As he said that, Reynolds put on a thick coat and carefully put on his shoes. He got off the bed and followed behind Elena.
In the room outside, Uncle Lucca was sleeping soundly. His snores were deafening. Obviously, he did not hear the sound outside.
Elena opened the door. Immediately, a gust of cold wind mixed with snow particles rushed in.
The two closed the door and walked out.
"It's so cold!"
Reynolds said loudly. His voice was very soft because of the snowstorm. Sure enough, there was a snowstorm outside. The snow particles were like knives as they fiercely hit Reynolds's face.
Elena looked at him with disdain and said, "Cut the crap. Come with me."
Reynolds was speechless. He looked at Elena's clothes. She was wearing a thin white dress and silver boots. In her hand was her weapon — Holy Radiance.
What a strong physique.
The baby's cries came from the forest not far away. Reynolds followed behind Elena, shivering in the cold.
Could it be that some random child had wandered into the forest and gotten lost, or had encountered some danger? A child without any ability to protect himself would be frozen to death in such bad weather.
Thinking of this, Reynolds was somewhat anxious. He could not help but quicken his steps.
After a while, they got closer and closer.
The cries got closer and closer. Reynolds heaved a sigh of relief. He knew that the child was still alive for the time being.
At this moment, Elena suddenly stopped in her tracks. She used her arm to block Reynolds and said in a low voice, "Be careful."
Reynolds was stunned. He quickly looked in front of him.
What entered Reynolds's eyes was not a cute child, but a monster that was about four meters tall and eight meters long. Its entire body was covered in rotting tumors. The cries of a baby were actually coming from this extremely disgusting monster's large mouth that was dripping with thick liquid.
