The moderate-temperature sunlight shone on the village that is neither large nor small, but also on the courtyard of an old hotel, covering all the men and women in the courtyard. A layer of gold yarn.
"Drink-drink-drink!"
Accompanied by an awe-inspiring clear shout, Noah is holding a knight sword and practicing slashing in a standard posture that has been practiced diligently for three months. Each blow can pull a flash of sword light and sharpness in front of him. The sound of breaking through the air gives people a pleasing feeling.
Not far away, Wendy sat on the threshold with her small hand resting on her cheek, and her big watery eyes staring at Noah, who was swinging a sword in the courtyard, with a satisfied expression on her face, and her eyes never left. Noah.
This was the third day after Noah, Wendy, and Geral came back from the forest.
On the first day of returning, Noah went to the village chief’s house and told the village chief that he had completed the task, so that the village chief told the villagers in the village to go back to the forest to hunt as before.
Regarding Noah’s words, the village chief naturally thanked him and said tactfully that Noah should stay in the village for a few days. After the villagers who entered the forest confirmed that there were no more weeping ghosts and cracked sky in the forest. , And then pay for the completion of the commission.
This is a matter of course.
Noah didn't think that he could gain the trust of the village chief with just a word of his own, so he took Wendy and stayed in the hotel in this village.
As for Geral, originally, Noah thought he would leave directly, but as a result, Geral also stayed, temporarily living in the village.
"Although it is inferred that "Anima" should not be launched in this area anymore, but to be on the safe side, it is better to stay and observe for a while."
In this way, Noah, Wendy, and Geral stayed in the village together and also stayed in the hotel.
It is worth mentioning that although the three of them also lived in the hotel in the village, they only lived in two rooms.
Noah was the first person Wendy met in her life.
Now, as Wendy’s mother, Grantigne has suddenly disappeared. Wendy has been searching in the forest for several days and crying for several days. For a ten-year-old girl who is not in the world, how difficult it is.
Perhaps because of this, as the first person Wendy met and the first person to give Wendy warmth, Noah seemed to have a very high status in Wendy's heart in just three days.
In addition, Wendy’s only relative has disappeared. In these three days, Wendy basically never left Noah. Even to sleep, he must share a room and a bed with Noah, otherwise he would want to cry. The sad expression of Noah is completely glued to Noah.
No way, Noah can only let Wendy go.
"Drink-drink-drink!"
A rhythmic shout continued to sound, and the flash of the cold sword's edge also continued to flicker in the courtyard.
During these three days, Noah was basically used to exercise sword skills and magical control. Compared with Magnolia, there was no change except for the location and the absence of Elisa as a sparring partner.
Even when he was outside, Noah didn't forget to train himself to gain initial recognition, and he was currently the only combat ability.
Wendy, who had been watching Noah practicing his sword, caught a glimpse of a person approaching. After being startled, she stood up and exhaled to Noah Jiao.
"Brother Noah! Geral is back!"
The knight sword that had just been cut in half in Noah's hand immediately stopped in the air, not following the trend.
It can be seen from this that Noah's advancement in sword skills can be described by a thousand miles, even if Elisa sees this scene, she should be involuntarily praised.
"Brother Noah." Wendy didn't know when he had run to Noah's side, holding a towel in his hand, and handing it to Noah.
"Thank you." Noah took the towel, wiped his sweat, and touched Wendy's head. While Wendy showed a comfortable expression, he turned his head and looked at Geral who came by.
"How about it?"
"It's pretty stable." Geral nodded.
"'Anima' currently has no signs of continuing to launch in this place. I think it's safe here."
Hearing this, Noah also nodded.
Even though they have been together for three days, Geral still has no signs of telling Noah about the super-subspace magic "Anima". Therefore, Noah is not at all about "Anima". learn.
However, it can be inferred from Geral's words "It's safe here too" that if "Anima" is successfully launched, it will definitely cause a catastrophe no weaker than Noah's magic power!
It is precisely to curb this disaster that Geral will appear here.
According to Geral, he will continue to travel around the world, follow the traces of the launch of "Anima", and embark on a journey of shutting down the upcoming "Anima".
Knowing this, Noah cast his eyes on Gerald.
"Are you planning to leave?"
Geral opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, a voice interrupted him.
"Guest from "Fairytail"!"
The visitor walked in from the outside of the hotel and came to the owner of the hotel in front of Noah.
"What's the matter?" Noah looked at the innkeeper, frowned slightly at his hesitant appearance.
"Did something happen?"
"It's the village chief who wants me to bring you a message." The hotel owner shook his head and said like this.
"Not long ago, three white-haired children about your age came to the village chief to ask about your trail, and then went into the forest. They haven't come back until now. The village chief asked me to ask you if the three of you Your companion?"
"Three white-haired children?"
Wendy and Geral looked at Noah at the same time, so they also clearly saw Noah's face suddenly changed.
"What?" Geral asked.
"Is it someone you know?"
"That's right." Noah looked a little ugly, and asked the hotel owner.
"You said that since entering the forest, the three have never come back?"
"It's not just that I haven't come back." The innkeeper answered honestly.
"People in the village only saw the three people entering the forest, but never saw the three people come out again."
Noah was silent for a while and nodded.
"I understand, thank the village chief for me."
The innkeeper smiled and nodded, and walked out.
"Brother Noah..." Wendy suddenly felt a little uneasy, and tightly grasped the silent Noah's hand, and didn't let go.
"Noah." Geral asked.
"Do you need help?"
Noah's expression changed a few times, and finally he sighed and pulled Wendy in front of him.
"If you want to help me, then I want to ask you, can you take Wendy to Grantine?"
"Take Wendy to Grantine?" Geral was a little surprised.
"I don't want it!" Wendy's face turned white all of a sudden, and she hugged Noah's feet fiercely.
"I don't want to leave Brother Noah!"
Noah seemed to have expected that things would turn out like this, with a helpless smile on his face, squatted down, and once again pulled Wendy in front of him.
"Wendy, you are obedient. Let Gerard take you to Grantine, okay?"
"I don't want it, I don't want it!" Wendy plunged directly into Noah's arms once again, holding Noah tightly, as if he wouldn't let go.
"Brother Noah, don't leave me alone like Grantine!"
Listening to Wendy's words, and feeling how hard Wendy was holding her little arm, Noah himself was surprised.
Although Noah also liked Wendy, a cute little girl like her sister, he really didn't expect Wendy to be so attached to him.
Thinking of this, Noah couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, stroked Wendy's thin back in his arms, and said softly.
"I don't want to be separated from Wendy, but, doesn't Wendy want to find Grantine?"
Wendy's body shuddered suddenly.
