Skretil's Ignorance Walker

The sun gradually sets, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the earth. People begin to go home. The whole complicated world seems to be slowly returning to calm, but there are still French fries on the bank of the Zhibei River that runs through the entire city of Orff. A lot of people passed by. A ray of the setting sun was reflected on the river. The orange-red sunset dyed one end of the river red, while a bright moon was reflected on the water at the other end.

Sherrill was sitting on a seat by the river bank, quietly admiring the beautiful sunset. She felt that the world around her had become red and passionate, but soon, this warmth would turn into Lonely night light.

She was not alone at this time. Carol, whom she had met several times now, was also sitting next to her. They met by chance on the road. Originally, Sheryl was planning to go back to Litich's home alone, but since she happened to meet When she arrived at Carol, she sat down with him to rest for a while and chat by the way.

"You're not in good health, but you still go to the Adventurer's Guild to take on quests every day?"

Sheryl looked at Carol. Her thin body seemed to be blown down by the breeze at any time, but in order to survive, she had to run with her weak body.

"Fortunately, I don't go there every day. I only go there occasionally to earn some pocket money."

It could be seen that Sheryl was caring about her, and Carol smiled slightly. Although she did know a little magic, she could hardly expect to have any combat effectiveness. Every time she took on a task, she only took on some simple tasks. Although it was relatively safe, the reward was But there were so few of them, and other adventurers almost didn't bother to take on this kind of mission, which just gave Carol a little room to choose.

Recalling the several times we met, it seemed that we all met on the street. Except for the last time when Carol went out to buy groceries, the others seemed to be when she returned home after completing a task, right? Although Sheryl had only met Carol a few times, Sheryl knew that it was definitely not like Carol said. She only went to take on tasks occasionally. She must go often.

"...I can't say much as an outsider, but if something happens to you, your uncle will definitely be worried, so you have to take care of yourself. At least you still have people who will worry about you."

Speaking of the latter part, Sheryl suddenly thought of herself for some reason. Yes, Carol at least has relatives who will worry about her, but what about herself? He is already alone, and no one will come to grieve for him anymore. If it weren't for Vera's kindness, I am afraid that he would have disappeared from this world along with his family.

But who can they blame? Isn’t this all self-inflicted? Although he had excellent living conditions, he was still not satisfied and committed a rebellion, which eventually implicated the entire family. If there must be a culprit found, wouldn't it be Rhodes who decided to join the Sword of Shadows in the first place? The head of the Bao family?

And even now, Sheryl still can't escape the entanglement of the Shadow Sword. The other party still wants her to work for him. Sheryl knows that even if she works for him wholeheartedly, she will not be able to find the fate of becoming an abandoned child.

Back then, my family was a real aristocracy, but what about now? Even if the Shadow Sword finally succeeded in seizing power, what reason would they have to grant an entire earl territory to a person with nothing like themselves?

After that incident, Sherrill felt that she seemed to have seen a lot more clearly. Now she just wants to live an ordinary life and is unwilling to get involved in any political struggles anymore. But unfortunately, She couldn't escape at this moment. At least she had to wait until this incident was over before she could truly escape from here.

But, once involved, is it really possible to escape completely?

"Lord Sheryl?"

Seeing that Sheryl seemed to be in a daze, Carol tilted her head and gently called Sheryl's name. After several calls, Sheryl finally came back to her senses.

"Huh? Sorry, I was distracted. What did you just say?"

"I said, thank you Sir Sheryl for worrying. I will take care of myself, not only for me, but also to prevent my uncle from worrying. He is working hard now, so nothing can go wrong on my side."

Carol lowered her head and said, and after she finished speaking, she clenched her fists to cheer herself up. After seeing this, Sheryl recalled some things and planned to speak again.

"correct……"

"Speaking of which..."

Unexpectedly, the two of them actually spoke at the same time. Sheryl, who was a little embarrassed, motioned for Carol to speak first, but Carol's cheeks turned red, so she declined and let Sherrill. In the end, after the two gave way, Carol was the first to speak her own words.

"Well...actually...I am really happy to be able to chat with Lady Sheryl like this today..."

Carol's face turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head, not wanting Sheryl to see her shy look, but Sheryl was a little confused about this.

"It's okay. If you want, I can come and chat with you every time before going home."

Sheryl said softly that she also wanted to get more information about Carlisle from Carol. Although she didn’t know whether this Carlisle was the real person of Carol in the academy, it would be right to know more about this person. Among her friends outside the academy, Sherrill was indeed a little curious about her. Most of the people I met in the academy or earlier were children of nobles or wealthy families. Even Vera and the others, Lu Ren could be considered rich, so for a truly poor person like Carol, , Sheryl really got to know each other better.

"Really? Won't this waste your time?"

"It's okay, it's just that I can go home every Friday, so I can't come to see you every day."

"No, no! I'm quite content if Lady Sheryl can come to me once a week."

Carol's eyes were full of joy when she looked at Sheryl, which made Sheryl a little uncomfortable. Before this, no one had ever looked at Sheryl with such eyes.

"Sir Sherrill... is the first friend I have made. I am sincerely happy to be able to become friends with Lady Sherrill..."

Carol lowered her head shyly. She clasped her hands and intertwined her fingers on her chest, showing an expression like that of a pregnant girl. With the last rays of the sunset, she looked particularly intoxicating. Even Sheryl looked a little... Lost my mind.

"...It's not...it's not as serious as you said...I'm just an ordinary person."

"But, in my eyes, Lady Sheryl is simply the most beautiful and kind-hearted person in the world."

Faced with Carol's direct words, Sheryl was obviously at a loss. Although she had heard similar flattery before, Carol at this time was obviously different from those people, which made Sheryl not know what to do. how to respond.

"Why am I so good in your eyes? We have only met a few times, right?"

Sheryl, who really couldn't find a topic to talk about, scratched her head. She didn't understand where Carol's good impression of her came from. It couldn't be because of looks, right? After hearing what Sheryl said, Carol seemed even more shy.

"Because Lady Sherrill once helped me, and when we met by chance, Lady Sherrill was willing to stand up for me and did not approach me with any other purpose."

"This... is just a piece of cake. I believe that even someone else would do the same thing."

Faced with Carol's praise, Sheryl was a little flattered. She just saved Carol at the time. She really didn't think much about it at that time, but now, Sheryl has some private purposes.

"No, not everyone is as great as you. Lady Sheryl who stood in front of me to protect me at that time was simply the most righteous hero in the world. I still think so, isn't it?"

After saying that, Carol tilted her head and looked at Sheryl seriously.
