Chapter 902: Crossing the Battlefield
There is a spell guide as help.
More than ten minutes passed, and the little girl's mood finally stabilized.
Through the conversation with the little one, Ronald also learned the other party's name - Fit Rommel, and Phil is the affectionate name of his parents.
The Phil family is an Entrode who have lived in Waterfall since their ancestors.
The family structure is also relatively simple, with his mother being a small family business that has been run for generations, and his father being a consulting detective. So in Entrode, little Phil's childhood is definitely considered a good life.
Now, however, everything is very different.
Not long ago, at the beginning of the war, Phil Jr. witnessed the loss of his loved ones.
That small three-story building was Phil's home.
At the beginning of the war, her father was away from home, while her mother and Phil stayed at home. And in this sudden disaster, Phil's mother lost her life trying to protect her.
In fact, if it weren't for Ronald finding out and making a timely move.
This little guy who was hiding in the corner of the stairs is afraid that he will also lose his life in the collapsed building.
Isolated, sudden, and uncertain......
As he continued to walk to the other side of Waterfall with the little girl, words like these came to Ronald's mind.
At this time, he turned his head to look at Phil, who was following him.
- The little girl is very sensible.
After his mood stabilized, Phil did not continue to beg Ronald to hold him, but went down to follow Ronald himself. Although her eyes were full of pain and hatred, she did not do anything like distress or begging Ronald to help her get revenge.
This is a thirteen-year-old......
Thinking of this, Ronald's emotions became more complicated, and the expression on his face inevitably changed
But this scene happened to be watched by Phil, who was following him.
“!”
The little girl first jumped back like a frightened fawn before catching up with Ronald and timidly reaching out her left hand and pinching the corner of Ronald's coat with minimal effort.
"Mr. Ronald, you ...... What are you going to do with me? ”
"Nope! Phil, not to deal with! Ronald immediately dismissed Phil's words.
Then he wanted to explain and comfort the other party.
only to realize that this little girl had just witnessed the death of her loved one.
If you use "Your dad is okay and will be back to pick you up soon." Such stupid words to comfort each other are really a bit too stupid.
“……”
Ronald looked silently at the little girl who was following him.
This child suffers from such a malicious reality that he must not continue to hurt the other person with lies.
So, Ronald finally chose to believe in this reassuring child.
Then he crouched down, made eye level with Phil, and then explained to the little one in an equal and serious tone:
"Phil, there's a war going on in Falls."
"In war, human property, life, soul, and everything is something that can be destroyed at any time. I don't want you to suffer any more of these things, so I want to take you to a safe place. ”
“……”
After Ronald explained, Phil Jr. still didn't let go of his hand that grabbed the corner of Ronald's clothes.
The child thought hard for a few seconds before he finally spoke with a complicated look in his eyes:
"Father, my father used to tell me about the war."
"He said that when I was a child, Entrode was in the middle of a war, and it was the current government that ended the war and gave us a stable life."
"Since, since the war is over, why is it back now?"
Phil's words made Ronald suddenly realize that reality was different.
Yes, this is Entrode.
A country that has been mired in war for a long time, and finally stabilized by a military junta. It's just that this kind of stability can't be maintained for a long time under the guidance of extreme policies, and under the influence of many factors, that's why there is this disaster in Waterfall today.
……
Ronald lamented the indifference of reality in his heart
And in front of him, the little girl's eyes were moistened again because of the thought of what had happened to her in the war.
- Broken.
- I said the wrong thing.
- Phil is reassuring, but he's still just a kid.
Seeing Little Phil's expression, Ronald immediately realized his mistake, so he took the initiative to reach out and hold the little girl in his arms, and immediately opened his mouth to comfort:
"Phil, this matter is very complicated to talk about, and there are many things that I can't explain to you now."
"But I promise, we're looking for a place where you can be safely shut down."
“……”
Ronald felt the child in his arms tremble.
At the same time, the perception of the spell also told him that Phil's emotions were going through a very turbulent phase.
From confusion, to nervousness, to sadness, and finally to trust and obedience.
“……”
"Mr. Ronald, I see."
Finally, little Phil said this, and then reached out and gently nudged Ronald in front of him.
Ronald let go of his embrace, and the scene of little Phil biting his lip came into his eyes.
The child was very frightened of his situation.
But after the previous disaster, Phil didn't want to cause Ronald any more trouble.
After all, in the eyes of this child, Ronald is also an ordinary person in the crisis of war. If she asks for it again at this moment, it will be really a willful act that is difficult for a strong man.
Ronald also sensed Phil's thoughts.
So he nodded slightly at the child, and Ronald stood up:
"Alright, let's move on."
"Hmmm......"
Little Phil nodded as well.
But this time when it comes to keeping up with Ronald.
Phil didn't let go of his left hand, still tugging at the corner of Ronald's coat in front of his gaze.
……
In Falls, the war is spreading faster than you could have imagined.
Because there are spellcasters who can exercise all kinds of spells involved, whether it is a rush, defense, or counterattack, the various battles that take place in Waterfall City at this moment are much faster than the pace of war in Ronald's impression.
In such an environment.
It is not uncommon to encounter something hateful or regrettable.
It's just that Ronald made up his mind at the moment to send the little girl behind him to a safe environment, so he avoided all kinds of time as much as possible, and didn't interfere with anything, so he took Phil all the way to the church in Waterfall City.
The journey was not very smooth.
Ronald was fine stealth, but after bringing a powerless child. In the face of some unexpected encounters, sometimes you can only choose a more troublesome solution.
It took almost an hour.
Ronald finally took Phil across the war-torn city to the location where he remembered the church to be.
So there was a mixed scene at the entrance of the church.
This is how it came into the eyes of Ronald and Phil beside him.
