Chapter 1,320 The Stubborn Little Follower
A group of children led by Ezio consider themselves to be the best group of people. Maybe their academic performance is not the best, but their ability to get into trouble is top-notch. Maybe I don't dare to challenge the two magicians, but I never tire of competing with others in a battle of wits and courage.
How could such a group of naughty children accept a skinny, weak, and inflexible little tail? But there is a little girl who has been following Ezio and his group since she arrived.
There was a child who saw the girl fall, had no time to cry, got up and followed with all his strength, and asked Ezio who was in front. "The little girl is following me again, what should I do?" "
The word "girl" does not exist in Miidi. It is an idiom brought by someone, and these children followed it. Of course Ezio knew who his companion was referring to, but he did not look back and said with a stiff attitude: "We ignore her." "
The children's small group is very simple, there is not so much intrigue, as long as one person speaks, the others will follow suit. If you really don't want to, there is no need for everyone to play together.
However, the girl who followed him desperately was named Marlene. According to Fen, she was no more than six years old, but she looked thinner in appearance. She was a poor woman that Ezio picked up from a filthy pit, sick, hungry, and just one breath away from death.
There are also slums in the holy city of Estali. The worst thing in the slums is the filthy pits, filled with poor people who have no money to treat themselves. A large number of patients gather together, and if a few people are infected with infectious diseases, the poison is added to the poison, and it becomes a big poisonous cave where diseases are mixed. One can imagine how harsh this environment is, and the living people staying here are no different from the dead in the eyes of others.
I don't know if it was out of pity or some other intention, but Ezio would sometimes sneak around and pick up some abandoned children from places like this, including some babies. Some people can be saved, and some people cannot be saved. Most of them are the latter.
Illness and hunger are certainly not big problems in the home headed by Lin, but not everyone can be saved. According to Fen's statement and Lin's understanding, some children have congenital defects. Rescuing them by force will only cause them to suffer more torture. So even if Fen, the original lich, has all kinds of methods, she only uses basic medical skills and medicines to see whoever is tough enough will survive.
Marlene is one of those children who has a tough life and a tough temper. She accepts death. After she recovered her health and regained her mobility, she became Ezio's little tail. But she was thin and weak, so of course she couldn't be easily accepted by these naughty guys. On the contrary, he became the target of being disliked.
A group of naughty children went straight to their usual playing field. This is on a small platform in the middle of a cliff with a wide view. There are rock walls next to it for climbing practice, and various terrains suitable for training jumps, flying down and other movements. This can be said to be the private location that Ezio values most.
It's just that now there is Marlene in this private room, a girl who does not belong to their small group. Although she would be one step behind Ezio and others, she would always catch up with them in the end, which made Ezio a little annoyed.
"Ezio, can I play with you?" "After the girl catches up with them, she will always ask this question, and she will only ask it once a day. No matter what kind of answer she gets after that - of course, the answer that doesn't allow her to join -, Marlene will stand aside and watch everyone.
Just to keep up with these naughty kids, the girl couldn't maintain her cute appearance. Every time he looked dusty and miserable, like a mud monkey. Standing aside, I just giggled.
On this day, Ezio heard that question again. The timid voice made him feel disgusted for no reason. But today, for some unknown reason, he accidentally saw a small yellow flower on the mountain wall. He pointed at the yellow flower and said:
"Marlene, you can play with us if you want." As long as you can pick that little yellow flower back, I will recognize your ability and let you act with us in the future. Do you accept such a test? "
In fact, Ezio just hoped that this little follower would give up and retreat, because the location of the little yellow flower was on the overhanging wall outside the small platform. Although the bottom is not an abyss, if it falls, it will be close even if it doesn't break into pieces.
Marlene did not act immediately when she heard the request. She nodded and said, "Okay." "After that, I just came to the edge of the cliff and watched.
Seeing that the girl didn't move, Ezio thought he had scared her. He stopped talking to Marin. Their training session hadn't been completed yet. After just running and jumping like crazy for a while, other friends shouted: "Ezio, look!" "
Looking in the direction pointed by her companion, Marlene had climbed out of the small platform. The whole person was lying on the mountain wall, climbing with difficulty in the direction of the little yellow flower.
A group of Ezio people shouted that something was wrong and came to the edge of the cliff one after another, shouting loudly: "Marin, come back quickly!" Don't pick any yellow flowers! "
The girl didn't look back, she just stared in the direction of Xiao Huanghua and moved her thin hands and feet. Ezio and the others had the intention to pull Marlene back, but she had already crawled some distance away, and of course no one could reach her with their little arms and legs.
As for climbing out to pull people back, let’s not talk about whether such an action is dangerous. Everyone dare not climb out of the small platform. So I could only stand by the cliff and scream loudly.
Marlene was very insistent. No one knew where that stubbornness came from. The little yellow flower is not very far from the platform, but it is not easily accessible either. The girl just so carefully pressed herself against the rock wall and moved inch by inch. Even if the skin was scratched and scratched, he didn't flinch.
After climbing, Ezio and the others did not dare to shout, which distracted Marin. Instead, their hearts were pounding and they watched the girl crawling forward in fear.
Sometimes the place where the girl's feet or hands are climbing is not so solid, and the rocks fall to the ground, so she can only choose a new position to fix her hands and feet. But maybe the route was chosen well and there were no dangers in the process.
When Marlene moved her legs for the last time, she finally reached a position where she could hold the little yellow flower. She struggled to stretch out her right arm. The thin arm stretched to the end, and the index and middle fingers barely touched the stem of the small yellow flower.
Fortunately, this is not a special flower species, just an ordinary wild flower. The flower stems are so thin that they break when hooked.
When Xiao Huanghua got it, Ma Lin turned around. The thin face with many scratches on her face smiled happily and held up the yellow flower in one hand, indicating that she had fulfilled Ezio's request. But at this time, she no longer had the strength to speak.
My feet were trembling as I stepped on the edge stone, and my fingers were trembling as I clung to the cracks in the stone. Even so, Marin is not willing to let go of the yellow flowers in her hands, and of course she can't go back...
Then, under the exclamations of Ezio and others, the slender girl could no longer support her heavy body, and finally let go of her hands and feet clinging to the rock wall and fell down.
But there was no panic in her expression, she was still smiling. She also didn't forget to stretch her hand holding the yellow flower forward to indicate that she had indeed picked the little yellow flower, but she just couldn't go back.
It was not the first time for Ezio and the other children to see a dead person, but it was the first time that they felt heartbroken. They panicked and ran in other directions, looking for a gentler slope to go down the mountain, and then searched for the bottom of the cliff, hoping to fight for the last bit of life for Marlene.
Unfortunately they couldn't find anything. In addition, it was almost dusk, and if the sky was completely dark, it would be impossible to see anything in the forest, and it would be even more impossible to find what you were looking for. So they could only rush back and cry to a certain magician for help.
Hearing this, Lin didn't ask in detail. He directly summoned Hakaki Khan and put it on Ezio's forehead to read out what happened. Otherwise, just by asking, no one can expect that the child who sniffs, uses a milky voice, and talks incoherently will be able to tell anything coherent. So read your mind.
The exact location was sent from Khan, and without any hesitation, he caught Ezio and activated the Flash Technique!
Fen, who came to the hall in search of food, saw someone running away without eating. Out of curiosity, he also used the Flash Technique to follow him. It just takes a little time to check the location of the One Ring by looking at the ring in your hand.
When Fen followed Lin, they came to the small platform on the edge of the cliff where Marlene had an accident. The sky had already been completely dark, but it happened to be a full moon in the sky today. The rain clouds that had caused showers in the afternoon seemed to not exist now, spreading the moonlight all over the mountains and forests. Unfortunately, the cliff and the small platform faced west, with the moonlight behind them, and there were large shadows.
Although Lin had seen it from the memory image transmitted by Khan, when he actually saw the scene, even if it was only the image under dark vision, he was still surprised that a thin girl could climb this mountain wall.
Fen, who was a step slower, appeared from behind Lin and Ezio. Question: "What happened?" "
"Do you remember the child you saved?" Marlene. She fell off this cliff. Lin explained simply.
Mentioning the girl again, a wave of emotion surged into his heart, making Ezio unable to help but shed tears again. But he didn't dare to cry when he was around these two magicians, so he could only bite his lips and suppress the sound.
With a raised eyebrow, Fen asked again: "What's going on?" "
Lin summoned Haggiri Khan again, but instead of holding it in his hand, it fell in front of Fen. The moment Haggiri took it into his hands, his consciousness exchanged thousands of times. Everything about Ezio and Marlene had already been conveyed to Fen's mind.
In fact, Fen didn't like to use Haggiri's communication method, but after understanding the cause and effect, she didn't care about her personal mood. If I had to explain that long paragraph of reasons orally, I don’t know how much saliva it would take.
Not to mention that Fen also learned from Khan that Lin was concentrating on using magic to detect the forest under the cliff. No time for stories. Ezio, who only knew how to sniff, was even worse. He was now filled with self-blame.
"Did you find any?" asked Fen.
Lin frowned and said, "The distance is too far. Moreover, my investigation settings did not perform very well when encountering such dense forest terrain for the first time and had to be readjusted. "
"Is it too late?" "
Faced with Fen's question, Lin said bluntly: "Of course it's too late. Let’s leave the re-adjustment to later. We went straight down to find clues. "
