Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"Hello little sister, can you tell me what you saw?"

Under the guidance of Wildi, Lu Ren met the only survivor, who was the daughter of a rich farmer and was only 11 years old. She was hidden in the attic at the time of the crime and thus escaped.

"..."

After experiencing the tragedy of her family being wiped out, the little girl was very scared. Her body kept shaking and she stammered, unable to utter a word.

"Maybe you can calm her down a little."

At this time, Wildi said that Lu Ren looked about the same age as the other girl and was very cute, so maybe this could make the little girl feel a little more at ease.

"If you feel scared, you can hold my hand, maybe it will make you feel more at ease."

After saying that, Lu Ren stretched out his hand. Facing Lu Ren, who looked about the same age as herself, the little girl did seem to calm down a little. Although she was still trembling, she still held Lu Ren's hand.

The cold sweat on the little girl's hands passed the chill to Lu Ren. She gently held the other's hand, then sat next to the little girl. She did not rush her, but waited patiently for her to speak.

"I...I...I saw it..."

After a long time, the little girl seemed to have finally recovered from her panic. She began to speak. Although her words were only a few intermittent, they made the people around her perk up and listen to her patiently.

"A...elf, a black-haired...a black-haired elf, she...she killed my mother..."

The little girl recalled the scene at that time. She was hiding in her attic. The group of guys killed her father and then went to the first floor to torture her mother. The little girl bravely left her hiding place and quietly came to the door to peek outside.

However, whenever the little girl recalled that scene, she couldn't help trembling. She began to shake violently, accompanied by a feeling of nausea.

"vomit--"

After a burst of dry heaving, the little girl arched her back and groaned in pain. Lu Ren was beside her and gently stroked her back, hoping to make her feel better.

"If it really doesn't work, don't force yourself..."

The little girl was too young to have experienced the tragedy of her family being wiped out. She must be very scared now, so neither Lu Ren nor Wildy wanted to force her to recall those painful memories.

But when the little girl recovered, she held Lu Ren's hand tightly, resisting the urge to feel nauseous, and continued to speak tremblingly:

"That elf...she used fire...to burn my mother's breasts...and then..."

At this point, the little girl seemed to recall some desperate scene and began to retch again.

Seeing this, Wildi sighed and asked someone to take the little girl downstairs to rest. It was too painful to force her to recall these things.

"A dark-haired elf?"

After sending the little girl away, Lu Ren began to think about what the little girl said. She had indeed never seen an elf with black hair. Vera and the others had colorful hair.

"Maybe it's the Ivy elves, they have black hair."

At this moment, someone next to Wildi spoke up. He was the leader of the dragoons, named Dilock, and was currently following Wildi to investigate the monastery.

The well-informed Dilok quickly thought of Ivy Ivanka's elf. As far as he knew, only the elves there had black hair.

"Ivy Elf?"

"They are the elves from Ivy Ivanka, which is the most powerful elven city-state among the Central Kingdoms. Most of the elves there have black hair."

"I understand. I'll have someone check the elf community in West Island City and pay attention to those elves with black hair."

Wildi quickly ordered an investigation along this clue. Although there are still many doubts at present, this is the only clue that can be followed.

After that, Wildi prepared to finish work. He also invited Lu Ren to go with him, saying that he had something to say to Lu Ren.

After the group returned to Xidao City, Dilock took the dragoons back to their headquarters, while Wildi invited Lu Ren to sit down and have a drink in the newly opened cafe nearby.

This is a small coffee shop that has just opened. There are not many customers inside, but the environment is decorated very warmly. Judging from the murals on the wall and the surrounding furnishings, the owner must have decorated his shop very attentively.

Wildi and Lu Ren each ordered a cup of coffee. There were no waiters in this cafe, so the owner himself served the coffee to the two of them.

"Ok?"

However, when Lu Ren saw the owner, she seemed a little surprised, because this owner was the fat man she met in the duel arena this morning.

At this moment, he was looking at the two people with his signature professional smile. After recognizing Lu Ren, the shop owner also said happily:

"Oh, isn't this the lady from this morning? It's such a blessing to see you again!"

"Do you know each other?"

Seeing this, Wildi couldn't help but ask. He just picked a store at random, but he didn't expect that Lu Ren actually knew the owner.

"I don't know him, we just met once."

Lu Ren quickly denied it, but the shop owner did not show any dissatisfaction with it.

"Oh, thanks to you today, I made a small profit. These two cups of coffee are my treat."

The shop owner continued to speak with a smile. He had a kind and friendly smile, and his slightly plump figure made him look harmless.

"Did the ticket stub you found win the prize?"

"Yes, although it's not much, it's still some money after all."

Seeing that Lu Ren took up his conversation, the owner started chatting with him in a familiar manner. Later, Lu Ren and Wildie learned that the owner had recently married his wife and opened this cafe. He was originally a waiter in another high-end cafe and had worked there for more than ten years. When he had nothing to do, he would go back to the duel arena to gamble a little, and then pick up the discarded tickets from others on the ground to try his luck.

Although Lu Ren was not a talkative person, she still reluctantly chatted with the enthusiastic shop owner and learned that his name was Albert. No wonder this coffee shop seemed so cozy. It turned out that this was the hope and sustenance of a newlywed couple for the future. Even without the blessing of magic, that kind of positive emotion would inadvertently affect the people around.

"Oops, I accidentally talked too much. I won't bother you anymore. Enjoy your meal."

When the shop owner came to his senses, he realized that he had been chatting with Lu Ren and the others for nearly twenty minutes, so he left embarrassedly, allowing Lu Ren and Wildy to have some peace and quiet.

“He’s such a passionate guy.”

As the guardian of Frannia, Verdi seemed very happy to see the people he protected showing such positive behavior. It was the smiles of these people that he protected with his life.

"By the way, is there anything you want to tell me?"

Lu Ren looked at Wildi and saw that he wanted to talk to him alone. Lu Ren was also very curious about what Wildi wanted to say.

Wildy smiled slightly, took a sip of coffee, and then said slowly:

"There's nothing wrong..."
