Chapter 1478 Pure
The kitchen door opened.
The moment I opened the door, I felt as if I was in a ghost movie, and I felt confused as to how to face the upcoming tragedy.
My eyes were wide open, and I stared nervously at the figure who was about to appear behind the door.
It's coming out, it's coming out!
As the door kept being pushed open, my heart beat like a speeding racing car, bouncing and jumping.
When the door was fully opened and I saw the person pushing the door clearly, I couldn't help but stood up. That was, yes, Jackson!
A soft cry was heard in his ears, a cheer of relief.
Jackson survived!
I thought he would be chopped up and cooked by the proprietress, and at the very least he would be beaten up and thrown out.
I hurried forward to meet him, closed the kitchen door smoothly, and said with concern: "Looking at you coming out intact, the situation inside should be pretty good."
"How should I put it?" Jackson scratched his head and said, "The boss lady didn't react at all after hearing the news I said."
"Did you speak too quietly?" Billy asked closer.
"No," Jackson said, "My volume is always so loud, there's no way she can't hear me."
"Maybe the boss lady has been working too hard recently and her ears are a bit deaf. How about you go in and say it again?" Billy said with a wicked look on his face, "To ensure that she can hear clearly, you can scold her in advance and see. reaction."
Jackson showed contempt, and he glared at Billy with disgust: "Am I stupid or are you stupid? Why don't you do this kind of thing?"
Billy still refused to give up: "I'm not thinking about you. I want you to get closer to the boss lady, and by the way, I can also help the guild do good things, hehehehe."
Jackson chuckled: "Are you sure it's for my own good and not because you feel sorry for not seeing me being thrown out of the door by the boss lady?"
One sentence revealed Billy's sinister heart, and the topic ended there.
What attitude does the landlady take towards Barbara's understanding of the combat skills? We can only know the result after the landlady comes out.
As for the source of all this, Barbara, she was curled up on the sofa and sleeping soundly. While sleeping, she clucked her lips and murmured in a low voice: "White fish, hehe, steamed white fish, so delicious."
Soon, the kitchen door opened again.
The proprietress came out carrying a big plate, looking at her expression and movements, they were no different from usual.
Could it be that the boss's wife had no idea about Barbara's understanding of combat skills?
Or, as Billy said before, she didn't hear clearly what Jackson was saying?
With this doubt in mind, everyone acted preoccupied during dinner.
After dinner, everyone sat together as usual, but today, the hall was much deserted than usual, and everyone who was chatting and playing had stopped, except for a few unsuspecting maid girls at another table. Except for continuing to play cards, everyone else stared in silence.
This boring atmosphere can easily make people feel sleepy, especially for a heartless optimist like Barbara. Within five minutes of sitting down, she fell asleep again.
At this time, the proprietress who was leaning against the wall suddenly said: "Xiaoyi, take Barbara back to the room."
As soon as I said this, I knew something was going on, so I carefully picked up Barbara. Without disturbing her sleep, I carried her back to the room, took off her coat, covered her with the quilt, then tiptoed out of the room, closing the door.
As soon as I turned around, I saw everyone's eyes gathering like moths under the big light of the proprietress.
The landlady cleared her throat and said: "Everyone must have known about Barbara's understanding of combat skills. To be honest, I have known about this for a long time. Barbara's combat skills were acquired when she was six years old. By the time, I have already understood it.”
Everyone sighed: He learned combat skills at the age of six. This is not a genius. Who would believe it?
"Since she has such a good talent, why not let her become an adventurer?" Yura asked doubtfully.
She used to be the mentor of the Magician Department of the Valiant Guild, and she attached great importance to talents, not to mention astonishing geniuses like Barbara.
"I deliberately killed her future as an adventurer," the proprietress said, "I don't want her to follow the same path as her parents."
"Barbara's parents?"
This time, even I was curious.
"Yes," the landlady said, "Barbara's parents were born adventurers and lost their lives in a battle."
"Isn't it normal for an adventurer to lose his life?" Billy couldn't help but complain.
Then, he was knocked unconscious by Gordo's knife.
After that, Gordo turned to the proprietress and smiled apologetically. The proprietress waved her hand to indicate that it was okay.
"Gordo is right," said the landlady: "It is a common thing for adventurers to lose their lives, because adventure is always full of unknown dangers and unimaginable horrors. However, for adventurers, For a child adventurer, risking your life is a sign of irresponsibility!"
"Barbara was innocent. At that time, she was full of ignorance about the whole world. When she waved her little hands, lay in my arms, and asked me for mom and dad, I was sure that in this life, I would never I won’t let Barbara become an adventurer.” The landlady said calmly: “I can’t let this kind of sadness continue to pass on.”
"But growth cannot be contained," Yura said, "How do you know that your guidance to Barbara will make Barbara happy?"
"She is happy, I am sure of this," said the landlady: "Her straightforward character and the smile she shows every day prove that she is very happy."
Yura said stubbornly: "But you didn't see the longing and expectation in Barbara's eyes when the people around her told the adventurers' experiences."
"That's just an ignorant girl who is curious about the new world." The landlady said, "You should also understand this. After all, both you and I have experienced that time."
Yura wanted to continue talking, and my hand gently placed on her shoulder: "Believe in the boss lady, she is the one who really treats Barbara best, and she is also Barbara's only relative."
"What an excellent talent."
"A happy innocent girl can transform into an excellent adventurer, but it is difficult for an excellent adventurer to return to the ranks of innocent girls, because in the process of transformation, she has experienced and endured. What I witnessed was a memory that could not be erased even if I spent my whole life. Since the landlady has molded Barbara into an innocent girl as pure as crystal, let her continue to be pure, and don’t smear any more suffering and misery. If you go up hard, it will break."
