Return to Hearthfire Island.

As soon as he entered the demiplane, Ask saw the girls working hard.

I saw that the flat ground in the center of the mountain top had been enclosed with an ink ruler and thin lines, and a layer of cement foundation had been laid.

Eleanor and Sidlifa were carrying the wood and placing it one by one into the steel frame.

Nora was holding the construction drawings and pointing at the construction site with Medea and others.

"What are you doing?" Ask didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Have you finished the training? So you have nothing to do? Have you started building a house?"

"It's all done." Medea came forward and said, "My arm is still numb... Who is this little girl?"

Her eyes fell on Honey, who was standing next to Ask, and she raised her eyebrows.

"Mi'er, our new shooter." Ask introduced.

"Oh." Medea stretched out her voice, looking at Mi'er's face and body covered with scars, and said with a smile, "She is much more difficult to deal with than I was back then, isn't she? She is quite ruthless in order to recruit people, Captain?"

Ask:

"Oh my God, what happened to you?" When Nora saw Mi'er's miserable appearance, she immediately exclaimed in pain and hurried over to treat her.

Fortunately, the wounds on her body were minor and not serious, and they healed quickly with the healing touch. Nora took out the handkerchief she carried with her and wiped the dust and stains off her face.

"Where is your father?" Nora asked as she half-knelt down to wipe her.

"I don't have a father." Mi'er replied.

"Sorry." Nora pursed her lips, "What about your mother?"

"She... died." Mi'er's eyes were a little dazed. "Last week, she had malaria and had no money to buy medicine. She never woke up again."

"I'm sorry." Nora didn't know what to say. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then you don't have any relatives who are still alive?"

"I have an uncle." Mi'er was silent for a while, biting her lower lip under the gaze of everyone.

After hesitating for more than a minute, she looked at the gentle lady in front of her and stammered, "He... said he could take care of me. But he brought someone to live in my house, took away all the money my mother left me, and... brought back a bad guy."

"Bad guy?" Eleanor frowned.

"... As soon as I entered the room, he pushed me down on the bed and tried to take off my clothes." Mi'er's eyes lost focus and her voice seemed to tremble. "I struggled for a few times, and he beat me... I hid the pistol my mother left under my pillow, so I..."

"Take out your gun and shoot the bad guy." Ask motioned her not to continue and explained to everyone, "When I found her, she was wanted by the police for killing a noble."

"Of course, she has already taken the lives of more than 30 people, all of whom are police and mercenaries who are chasing her. The girl's shooting skills are pretty good."

"Oh!" Sidlifa exclaimed in admiration, "She killed more than 30 people by herself? Great, I want to discuss her experience of killing. Was it a headshot? Or a chest shot?"

Nora glared at Sidlifa angrily: "Don't talk about that!"

"If that's the case, she probably can't leave Hearthfire Island now." Eleanor said calmly, "For such a serious murder, Constantinople must be conducting a large-scale manhunt. As soon as she returns to reality, she will probably be discovered and arrested."
