Ian had to turn around again, protecting Joan and facing the Burgundians.

This obedient attitude seemed to suit these people.

They put away their bows and arrows, and then continued to ask contemptuously:

"Boy, you just said that you and your sister came from that Dongremi Village, right?"

"Yes."

"Then-" The big man in the lead showed a greedy expression.

"Then where is it approximately?"

"..."

[You realize that the Burgundians in front of you do not know the existence of Donremi Village. 】

[You also know that you absolutely cannot bring these hungry wolves back - that would be a disaster. 】

[You decided to lie. 】

[But you forgot that there is Joan of Arc standing behind you. 】

"there."

Ian pointed in a direction.

That is the opposite way to entering the village.

If you really take that road, you may never reach Donremi Village in your lifetime.

"Eh?!"

Jeanne showed a surprised expression - she knew that there was no way back to the village.

But she soon realized that her brother had done this on purpose, and she immediately covered her mouth.

But it was too late.

The Burgundians in front of them were obviously in a hurry to find the village, and naturally they would not miss any useful information.

Jeanne's reaction was seen by them.

The big men jumped off their horses and walked towards the two children.

"Where is it!"

they yelled at the two small children.

"Say it to me quickly!"

Joan of Arc was frightened.

She shrank down behind Ian and couldn't say a word.

The boy himself still insisted on what he said just now.

"there."

"Just walk that way."

[The Burgundians no longer believe your words. 】

[After all, compared to Joan of Arc, you, who is similar in age to her and too calm, are as untrustworthy as Pinocchio. 】

[They pushed you away from Joan of Arc, and then questioned the little girl. 】

"Where is it?!"

The leading Burgundian roared angrily and seemed to have no intention of hiding his true nature.

Even though the person in front of him was just an eight-year-old girl.

Joan of Arc, who was always being cared for by her brother, had never encountered such a thing.

She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her hands hurriedly pulling at everything around her, and she shook her head repeatedly.

"I have no idea!"

"I really do not know!"

But the Burgundians will not let go of the target they have identified as problematic.

"You little brat, why don't you tell me!"

"It seems that if I don't punch you a few times, you don't know what honesty means."

The leading man raised his fist.

But when he was about to beat Joan of Arc, he suddenly heard a muffled sound on the back of his head.

He subconsciously reached out and touched it, and saw a large area of ​​bright red.

is blood--

Just as the big man realized that he had been hit by a stone, he heard a roar.

"Get out of my sister's face!"

The person who said this was none other than Ian who was pushed away just now.

At this moment, he had climbed up from the ground.

Needless to say, now this is his attack.

The big man was angry.

He's just a kid, how dare he challenge himself?

"You bastard, are you looking for death!"

He waved his fist, intending to beat this ignorant brat to death.

But the next moment, the big man realized that he would never be able to do such a thing.

because--

His hand was cut off by the flames.

[The endless fury of your talent has been activated: you spewed out extremely terrifying flames. 】

[You burned the big man’s raised hand clean. 】

[He screamed. 】

[You reversed the situation in an instant. 】

[The big men who were bullying you and Jeanne began to flee in all directions. 】

[Someone shot arrows with magic attached to them at you. 】

[But it's all to no avail - the power of your flames seems to be far superior to theirs. 】

[Burn, burn out. 】

[Your flames will burn all the Burgundians present until not even ashes are left. 】

[You solved them in an extremely simple and crude way. 】

call--

call--

Ian gasped for air.

To be honest, he had no idea why he spewed out such terrifying flames.

Obviously what he was thinking just now was "never let other people hurt Joan of Arc", but when he came back to his senses, the scene was like this.

Although in terms of results, it is indeed a pretty perfect way to handle it.

but--

Would this scare Joan of Arc?

Ian looked at his sister worriedly and found that she was also looking at him.

"..."

"..."

Wow.

Joan cried.

Listening to this voice, Ian's heart broke.

He hugged her and gently stroked her back to comfort his sister.

"never mind."

"Brother has taken care of everything."

"No one can harm my Jeanne."

They are obviously eight-year-old children, but their behavior at this moment is completely different.

[You comforted Jeanne for a long time. 】

[She finally regained her composure. 】

Joan of Arc picked up the corner of Ian's clothes and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Her body was still trembling and she looked shocked.

"Brother...are those Burgundians?"

"Yes." Ian nodded, "Now you know why I didn't let you come out, right?"

"sorry!"

Joan apologized very sincerely.

"I should have understood this earlier!"

Ian sighed.

"Forget it, the matter is over, it's useless to say more."

"..."

Joan of Arc raised her head and looked at her brother cautiously.

"That--"

"Can I ask my brother a question?"

Although he somewhat knew what Joan was going to ask, Ian still nodded.

"what is the problem?"

"Why does my brother breathe fire?"

"..."

Ian was silent for a while before answering:

"Do you think it's scary?"

"If so...I will try to stay away from you in the future, so as not to scare you."

"Never!"

Joan took Ian's hand.

"I know that my brother breathed out that kind of flame to protect me."

"I... don't feel scary at all!"

"Really?" Ian touched Joan's head, "That's really great."

"I thought I would be scared by Jeanne."

"but--"

"If you ask how it was done... I actually don't know."

"oh, I see!"
