Chapter 903:
Spell guidance helps when crossing the battlefield.
More than ten minutes passed, and the little girl's mood finally stabilized.
Through the conversation with the little guy, Ronald also learned the other person's name - Fit Rommel, and Phil was his parents' nickname for him.
The Phil family are Entrodites who have lived in Waterfall City since their ancestors.
His family structure is also relatively simple. His mother is a small businessman that has been passed down from generation to generation, while his father is a consulting detective. So in Entrod, little Phil's childhood was definitely considered a good life.
But now, everything is completely different.
Time passed to not long ago, when the war just started, little Phil witnessed the death of his relatives with his own eyes.
That three-story building is Phil's home.
When the war began her father went away to work, while her mother and Phil stayed at home. In this sudden disaster, Phil's mother lost her life trying to protect her.
In fact, if Ronald hadn't discovered it and taken action in time.
This little guy who was originally hiding in the corner of the stairs may also lose his life in the collapsed building.
Isolated and helpless, encountering a catastrophe, and having a worrying future...
Words like these came to Ronald's mind as he continued to walk to the other end of Waterfall City with the little girl.
At this time, he turned his head and looked at Phil who was following him.
——The little girl is very sensible.
After his emotions stabilized, Phil stopped begging Ronald to hold him, and instead went down to the ground and followed Ronald. Although her eyes were full of pain and hatred, she did not do anything to distress or beg Ronald to help her get revenge.
This is a thirteen-year-old child...
Thinking of this, Ronald's emotions became more complicated, and the expression on his face inevitably changed.
But this scene happened to be seen by Phil who was following him.
"!"
The little girl first jumped back like a frightened deer, then caught up with Ronald, and timidly stretched out her left hand, pinching the corner of Ronald's clothes at the smallest possible angle.
"Mr. Ronald, what are you... planning to do with me?"
"No! Phil, not with me!" Ronald immediately rejected Phil's words.
Then he wanted to explain and comfort the other person.
But then she realized that this little girl had just witnessed the death of a loved one.
It would be too stupid to comfort the other person with stupid words like "Your dad is fine and will come back to pick you up soon."
"..."
Ronald looked at the little girl following him silently.
This child has suffered such malicious reality, and he must not continue to hurt the other person with lies.
Therefore, Ronald finally chose to believe in this child who behaved reassuringly.
Then he squatted down, eye level with Phil, and then explained to the little guy in an equal and serious tone:
"Phil, there is a war going on in Waterfall City."
"In the war, people's property, lives, The soul, and even everything, are things that can be destroyed at any time. I don't want you to suffer these things again, so I want to take you to a safe place." "..." After Ronald explained, Little Phil still did not
relax
. Kai grabbed Ronald's hand at the corner of his clothes.
The child thought hard for a few seconds, and finally spoke with complicated eyes:
"Father, my father once told me about the war." "
He said that Entrod was in the middle of a war when I was a child, and it was the end of the current government. It ended the war and gave us a stable life."
"Since, since the war is over, why is it coming back now?"
Phil's words made Ronald suddenly realize the difference in reality.
Yes, this is Entrod.
A country that has been mired in war for a long time and was finally stabilized by the military government. It's just that this kind of stability cannot be maintained for a long time under the guidance of extreme policies. Under the influence of many factors, the disaster in Waterfall City today happened.
...
Ronald sighed in his heart about the indifference of reality
. In front of him, the little girl's eyes became moist again because she thought of what she had experienced in the war.
--broken.
——I said the wrong thing.
——Phil may act reassuring, but he is still just a child.
Seeing little Phil's expression, Ronald immediately realized his mistake, so he took the initiative to hold the little girl in his arms, and immediately comforted him: "
Phil, this matter is very complicated to explain in detail. There are many things you can't explain clearly."
"But I promise, we are now looking for a place where you can come down safely." "
..."
Ronald felt the child in his arms shake violently.
At the same time, the perception of the spell also told him that Phil's emotions were going through a very rough stage.
From confusion, to tension, to sadness, and finally to trust and obedience.
"..."
"Mr. Ronald, I understand."
Little Phil finally said, then reached out and gently pushed Ronald in front of him.
Ronald let go of his arms, and the scene of Little Phil biting his lips came into his eyes.
The child was terrified of his situation.
But after the previous disaster, Phil didn't want to cause any more trouble to Ronald.
After all, in the eyes of this child, Ronald is also an ordinary person caught in the crisis of war. If she made any demands at this moment, it would be a willful act that would be beyond the control of others.
Ronald also felt what Phil was thinking.
So he nodded slightly to the child, and then Ronald stood up and said,
"Okay, let's keep walking."
"Well..."
Little Phil also nodded.
But this time when following Ronald's footsteps.
Phil did not let go of his left hand, still holding tightly on Ronald's clothes in front of his eyes.
...
In Waterfall City, the war is spreading faster than imagined.
Because there are casters who can use various spells involved, no matter whether they are advancing, defending, or counterattacking, the various battles taking 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 things that are abhorrent or regrettable.
It’s just that Ronald made up his mind at this moment to send the little girl behind him to a safe environment, so he avoided all kinds of time as much as possible and did not interfere with anything. He just took Phil and rushed towards the church in Falls City. go.
The journey was not very smooth.
Ronald was fine sneaking by himself, but after bringing a child with no power. Faced with some unexpected encounters, sometimes we can only choose more troublesome solutions.
It took nearly an hour.
Ronald finally took Phil across the war-torn city to where he thought the church was.
So there was a complicated scene at the door of the church.
This is what caught the eyes of Ronald and Phil beside him.
