After Edward stepped out of Rona Street, Sharg seemed to sense something. He silently retreated, quietly concealing his presence.
When Rody was born, her mother passed away due to complications during childbirth, and Huxiu Neier was busy with the family business, rarely able to spend time with his son. Perhaps that was why Rody had been so rebellious in the past. Now that Huxiu Neier had died far from home, with no body even recovered, Rody truly had no one close to her anymore.
Dachi? No, compared to the word "close," Dachi spent more time playing the role of a stern elder, taking care of his nephew in place of Huxiu Neier. They were familiar and near, but it couldn't be said they were close.
If one were to find someone who truly fit that description, it would probably be Talina.
Yes, ever since that day’s game, Talina often invited Rody over to play and genuinely treated her like a younger sister.
About twenty minutes later, Edward brought Talina over.
"What do you need me to do?" Talina's face was anxious; she had already heard Edward briefly explain the situation on the way here.
Rody was taken aback; she hadn't expected Edward's choice would be a Blind Girl.
"Let her give it a try," Garen said.
Rody snapped back to reality and led Talina onto the Wooden Platform, saying, "Time it well; you must do it before the Holy Light disappears."
After saying this, Rody suddenly realized she might have misspoken; even the lion and dog beside her shook their heads repeatedly.
"Don't misunderstand... I didn't mean to mock you on purpose; it's just..." Rody hurriedly explained.
Talina's eyes had lost their light, so she couldn't see the Holy Light and naturally couldn't know when it would vanish.
"It's fine, let's get started!" Talina forced a smile. Her hand touched Rody's and felt the little one's anxiety at that moment, which made her quite worried.
Deer nodded, and a pure white halo spread across his palm, enveloping Rody's chest and gradually radiating throughout his body.
While doing this, Deer looked at Talina with curious eyes. After all, those trapped in a nightmare were shrouded by their inner darkness, and he was eager to see what this Blind Girl would do to soothe Rody's heart.
Not just Deer, everyone turned their gaze towards Talina.
At that moment, Talina slowly began to speak, humming a beautiful melody.
Is she singing?
Garen couldn't help but feel a bit astonished, but just then, he noticed Rody's trembling had lessened slightly!
……
Child, child
Do not cry from hunger; there are two pieces of bread I have left for you on the table.
Do not wander in darkness; there is moonlight at the street corner shining down for you.
I wish for you to be treated gently by the world every day in the days to come.
I pray that the pain you have endured in the past will be forgotten.
I gaze at you, hoping you can walk far away.
May your future path be broad and bright, each moment illuminated like the morning sun.
The difficulties before you will fade; please listen to the echoes of the wind chimes on the street.
When all misfortune has passed, you will return to my side once more.
Look at me as I once gazed at you.
……
The voice was clear as water, and the melody was truly enchanting.
Years ago, Talina wandered the streets with Sharg and Kakashiuro, living each day in hunger. During that time, she often gazed at her two younger brothers and hummed this tune for them.
Garen instinctively looked at Sharg, only to find that Sharg had already vanished from sight.
Everyone was unable to resist being drawn into the melody until it faded away, and the holy light gradually dissipated. They could not immediately pull themselves out of it; the street fell silent once more, save for the gentle sound of rain.
“He... he’s okay!” Suddenly, a voice of astonishment rang out.
On the Wooden Platform, Rody's frenzied behavior had ceased, and his expression gradually calmed from a fierce grimace to one resembling that of someone in a sweet dream.
Garen let out a quiet sigh of relief in his heart, but he did not immediately withdraw his gaze. Instead, he lingered on Talina, his eyes reflecting something unusual.
Just moments ago, when the Holy Light Magic was unleashed, a fleeting green glimmer passed through Talina's hollow eyes. However, this detail was so brief that no one noticed it, not even Tifet.
But Garen clearly caught it; after all, that aura felt very familiar!
It was the aura of the Venomfang Blade!
How could it possibly be within Talina? Could it be that after all these years, the toxin had remained dormant in her body, never fully expelled?
As Garen pondered this, Tifet's voice broke through his thoughts.
He spoke calmly, “What do you intend to do about it? Even if we get through today, escaping this nightmare state will not be so simple.”
Garen did not respond; in fact, he had yet to figure out what to do. Although he could use Yasthia's Heart of Agou to distribute Emerald Battle Aura and combine it with Fire Mage magic for burning, what if there wasn't enough Emerald Battle Aura?
The worst-case scenario was that just after Garen had allocated the Emerald Battle Aura, he hadn’t even had the chance to recover when the nightmare cycle of the Novice ended and began to erupt.
This was undoubtedly the situation Garen least wanted to see.
“Sir Garen, the carriage is ready. Should we send these children back first?” At that moment, Black Duncan ran over in the rain to inquire.
Garen nodded. Under Black Duncan's direction, several guards came to the Wooden Platform and began to lift the Newbies onto the carriage one by one.
But just as the guards lifted the first child, their expressions suddenly changed!
“M-Master…”
The guard trembled as he pointed at the child. “He’s dead!”
……
……
In a house on the eastern side of the town, Bai stood quietly in the shadows while Miyelin played with an antique Bronze Bell by the window. Just seconds ago, he had shaken the Bronze Bell a few times.
“Ah! I accidentally touched it…” Miyelin lamented as he scratched his head. “What a pity; that was a young life!”
“I will tell her about your actions, including how you stole nightmares from the castle,” Pale Face said expressionlessly.
“Stole? No, no, this is a reasonable use of family resources! And didn’t you see that woman calling for help?” Miyelin replied dismissively. “A knight from Eagle Academy and three mages from Holy Academy, each with over level 10 strength… Tsk tsk, I heard they teamed up last year to take down over three thousand dark elves. They are not to be trifled with!”
“So you shifted your anger onto the child?” Bai coldly stared at Miyelin.
"Miyelin, these nightmares have been cultivated. The dead parasites will release astonishing toxins. Look! That knight has already discovered them, haha, he will definitely bring these corpses to the imperial capital for observation!" Miyelin gazed out the window, as if he could see Rona Street, "By then, it won't just be Your Highness who dies... Bai, how much merit do you think I'll gain this time? Enough to become an elder, right? Haha!"
"You are despicable," Bai said with narrowed eyes.
"Thank you for the compliment!" Miyelin stopped laughing and lightly snorted. "Aside from Baloo, you're the only one who can ignore the effects of the Heart of Agou. Since you're not taking action, of course I have to think of a way!"
As he spoke, Miyelin sneered, "Or are you still burdened by your past as an Abandoned Slave, feeling pity for these children who hold a lowly status even among humans? To be frank, no blood clan would hesitate in such matters! They might even feel it's not enough fun, like me!"
A chilling killing intent emanated from Bai.
"Slap!" Miyelin struck Bai across the face.
"Daring to release killing intent towards a noble blood clan, who do you think you are?"
"You wretched thing, you are merely that woman's slave! I might have feared you in the past, but after this incident, my status in the clan will rise significantly!" Miyelin arrogantly retorted. "By then, even Su Ye won't be able to treat me with such an attitude!"
