For a moment, Reynolds felt that the boy was looking at him. Reynolds's heart skipped a beat.
Just as Reynolds was about to step forward to help, a figure appeared behind him. The golden figure and its blossoming flower-like wings quickly flashed forward.
"Who's there?"
Before the heavily armored knight could react, a silver-white rapier was placed on his neck.
"Avina, what are you doing?"
Reynolds shouted. He hurriedly walked to her side and took the rapier back from Avina's hand.
"Are you crazy? Tomorrow is the competition for the seven schools. According to the rules, you'll be disqualified if you attack an ordinary citizen! "
"But he …"
Avina also knew that she couldn't argue with Reynolds on this matter.
"No need. You go to Avina and the others first. Leave this to me."
"Oh!"
After Avina walked out of the crowd, Reynolds saw that the knight in heavy armor was already sitting on the ground. There seemed to be some smelly liquid flowing out of his lower body. It seemed that he was scared out of his wits.
The knight in heavy armor was just an ordinary adult wearing armor. He couldn't fight back against magic at all.
Reynolds squatted down and helped the boy up from the pool of blood. He then put the boy's right arm around his neck.
"Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll forget about you beating up my slave. Get lost!"
The heavy-armored knight's mood changed. He thought that he was going to die today, but he didn't expect that the other party would let him go. He hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you, sir, for not killing me." Then, he staggered away.
"Why are you still looking? Get lost now! "
Renault shouted loudly with a deterrent type magic. Immediately, the crowd of onlookers jumped in fright and went about their own business.
Reynolds helped the boy to a bench, then called Liliana over and asked her to cast a healing magic on him.
"Wood Healing!"
Bits of green light flickered and then flowed into the boy's body. In a short while, the boy's body had almost recovered.
The boy slowly opened his eyes. His consciousness was still a little blurry, but he could vaguely hear a few words.
"Little friend, what's your name?"
"I … I am called Liliana."
"Hey, Liliana, that's a pretty good name!"
A thought flashed through Liliana's mind. He hurriedly stood up, grabbed the sweet potato beside him, and ran over.
Reynolds and Liliana looked at each other and then hurriedly followed Liliana.
Reynolds used Star Survey Magic to tell Avina and the other two to take a stroll nearby and that he would be back soon.
Liliana didn't run very fast, and her steps were very light. It was as if she could fall with every step. She didn't know what was supporting her to continue moving forward.
After a while, they arrived at the slum area. Liliana turned into a small alley. There was an abandoned building in front, and Liliana went inside.
Reynolds stealthily followed him. There was a window beside him that only had a window lattice left. He secretly poked his head out and saw that in a corner of the abandoned building, there was a small patch of ground covered with withered yellow weeds. On top of the weeds lay a sickly girl who looked to be only seven or eight years old. She had two small ponytails on both sides of her head, and there was a wet cloth on her forehead. Her mouth was constantly gasping for air, and combined with the abnormal redness on both sides of her cheeks, if he guessed correctly, she should be having a fever.
Liliana ran to the little girl's side and squatted down.
"Meixi, how are you?"
The little girl heard Liliana's voice and slowly opened her eyes. She tried her best to force a smile.
"Big brother, I'm fine! Pretty good! "
But before she finished speaking, the little girl coughed violently.
"Cough ~"
"Cough!"
"Meixi, you must hold on! Big brother will find someone to cure you soon! "
Liliana stuffed the sweet potato that was still warm in her arms into the little girl's hand. "Eat it quickly!"
"No!"
The little girl shook her head. "Big brother should eat it!"
Things had already come to this point, yet the two pairs of siblings were still so modest.
(I don't know if Brother Reynolds will save me when I'm in danger.)
Natalia glanced at Reynolds, who was standing next to her. At this time, his face was already covered in tears. Tears spurted out from the holes of his mask like a fountain.
"It's so touching! Natalia, I feel like a brick is in my eyes. I can't help but cry. "
(Don't be stubborn at this time!)
"Ugh ~"
Natalya felt a little bit of regret for the idea that had just sprouted.
The two continued to look through the window.
Liliana held the little girl's right hand and then put it on her cheek. "Meixi!"
The little girl felt that her right hand was a little wet. She didn't expect that Liliana, who didn't beg for mercy even when she was beaten by a heavy armored knight, would shed the most sincere tears at this time.
That scene was really a rare plot in a novel.
"Sob ~ Sob ~ I thought that this kind of thing would only appear in novels. I didn't expect it to really happen in front of my eyes this time. Natalia ~ Save her! "
"Yes."
In fact, Natalia had already wanted to help, but without the Devil King's order, she couldn't do it without permission.
After all, everything was connected. If there was a cause, there would be an effect.
It would be bad if her identity was exposed.
"Meixi, pull yourself together! Hold on for a little while longer. I'll bring someone to save you right away! "
"Ouch ~"
Liliana stood up in a panic and ran to the door, but she didn't expect that as soon as she turned around, she seemed to have bumped into something and then fell to the ground.
Liliana rubbed her head, then opened her eyes and looked in front of her. There were two unfamiliar figures there. One was a beautiful woman with long red hair, and the other was a person with short white hair. They were wearing a mask, but it seemed that they should be a woman.
Liliana was a little dumbfounded at first. The red-haired woman was a beauty she had never seen in her life.
"Who, who are you?"
"Oh? I just saved you. Did you forget me in the blink of an eye? "
Liliana recalled that there were indeed two people beside her on the bench just now. They even asked for her name, but because of Meixi, she didn't seem to notice them.
