Knight with Wand

It was almost dusk, and on the hillside north of Selva Village, a stone windmill stood quietly in the afterglow of the setting sun.

There were no blades on the top of the mill, and there was a big hole in the exposed spire roof. It could be seen that the shaft structure inside had been demolished long ago. Obviously, the mill with vegetation on the outer wall had been abandoned for many years.

Olivia used the key to unlock the shabby iron lock of the mill, and led Leon and others to push the door in: "This place was abandoned before I was born, and usually no villagers come here."

Since everything that needed to be demolished had been demolished long ago, the windmill was empty inside, but it was very spacious, more than enough for the three teenagers to rest.

Stepping onto the wooden spiral staircase against the wall, several people climbed to the third floor together. Olivia stepped forward and pushed open the wooden window facing south, turning back to say to everyone: "If you feel it's too stuffy downstairs, it will be more breathable to sleep upstairs. Although the roof of the attic is broken, as long as it doesn't rain, the third floor is still very comfortable with wind coming in at night."

"Why do you sound like you are talking about experience?" Leon looked at the corner, where some wooden boxes were piled up. If they were laid flat, they could even be used as a small bed.

Seeing Leon's sight, Olivia also felt a little nostalgic: "When I was a child, I often came here to play with my friends in the village. Sometimes I was naughty and didn't go home, and even secretly spent the night here alone. As a result, my father found me and gave me a good lesson."

"By the way!" The girl suddenly pounded her palm, as if she thought of something.

She stuffed the key into Leon's hand, then hurried down the stairs with her skirt lifted up: "Wait for you, I'll be back soon."

"?" Seeing Olivia running down the stairs, Leon put the key in his pocket, walked to the window and looked at the girl's back. He felt funny watching her running back to the village.

This girl is really active, coming and going like a gust of wind.

Raising his head, the cool breeze from the height blew on his face, and Leon looked up with a relaxed look.

Standing on the top of the hillside, you can see the whole picture of Selva Village.

The scattered houses, the neat and tidy wheat fields, the gurgling stream, and the endless mountains and forests in the distance.

The beautiful mountains and forests are like a peaceful landscape painting.

To be honest, if it weren't for the old blacksmith's implicit intention to drive away guests, this place would be a good place to spend the rest of your life.

However, in this society that resembles the Middle Ages on Earth in the previous life, the blacksmith in the village is not just a worker. Old Brian probably has a high status in the village. As a local tycoon, if he does not welcome outsiders like himself, other villagers will naturally follow his opinion. Leon really doesn't want to have any more unnecessary conflicts.

Let's talk about it.

He turned his head and looked at Lohak who was dozing on the wooden box.

Both his partner and himself still have unfinished goals.

He promised Miss Lola that in return for saving his life several times, he would have to embark on a journey back to Rolandal after the war subsided.

The idea of ​​finding a place to settle down may have to be postponed for a long time.

Leon shook his head. This body is only fifteen years old. Why did he start thinking about retiring to the countryside? It seems that the running around during this period has really made him physically and mentally exhausted.

"~Hey~"

Azerien dusted off the wooden floor, sat on the ground against the wall, and stretched: "This place is not bad, at least we don't have to worry about wild beasts looking for food and keep people on guard at night."

Leon turned around and sat down, leaning against the wall and yawning, and his eyelids couldn't help squinting.

"Let's rest here for two days, and then we'll go to the town that the old blacksmith mentioned?" Leon closed his eyes and asked his partner in a sleepy tone.

After waiting for a long time with no response, he had to open his eyes and look hard.

It turned out that Azerien had fallen asleep with even breathing in just one sentence.

As for Lohak, he had already half-collapsed on the platform made of wooden boxes, making bursts of snoring.

After a long period of tense life on the run, the teenagers suddenly relaxed in a safe environment, and they could no longer resist the fatigue.

In a drowsy sleep, Leon suddenly heard someone calling him.

He grabbed the hilt of the sword with a startled reflex.

When he regained consciousness, he could hear that it was Olivia's voice.

"Leon? Are you still upstairs?"

Rubbing his eyes, Leon stood up and walked to the stairs, looking down.

Seeing the blonde girl holding a large blanket and quilt in her arms, she went back and forth.

"What are you doing?"

"There are a lot of old blankets at home, and they are not being used. If you don't mind, you can make do with them."

Olivia said as she walked up to the third floor, raised her hand and put down the blanket and quilt, and helped spread them out.

Leon opened his mouth in surprise.

However, he swallowed the polite words and changed them to a simple thank you.

People have already brought the things, and it would be hypocritical for him to refuse again.

Thanking her sincerely, Leon squatted down to help her straighten the four corners of the blanket and cover it with the quilt.

Lohak and Azerien beside them also woke up by rubbing their eyes. Looking at the bed that Leon and Olivia had laid, they were a little dazed.

The girl stood up and patted the dust off her dress. She walked to the window and pointed to a double-story townhouse in the village: "My home is there. If you encounter any difficulties in the next two days, you can come to me for help."

Leon sighed, "You have helped too much, how can I continue to trouble you."

Olivia smiled warmly, "Don't be so polite. The story says that people who meet outside are friends. I don't want you to leave and only remember the unpleasant experiences in Selva Village for the rest of your life."

She turned around and waved her hand, "Okay, it's getting late. I won't disturb you to continue to rest. I'll go back first."

Leon hurried downstairs and sent the girl to the door of the mill.

Standing on the hillside, watching the girl's figure return to the village under the afterglow of the sunset, Leon sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"What a good person."

Thinking of the second-rate village ruffians who robbed during the day.

He suddenly admired the old blacksmith.

I don't know how he raised such a well-educated and kind girl in this remote environment.

Returning to the mill and locking the wooden door, he came back to the third floor of the windmill tower.

Seeing Leon coming back, Lohak came up with a strange look on his face and nudged him with his elbow.

"Hey, Leon, that girl is so enthusiastic about us, does she like you?"

Leon frowned, and pushed away his winking companion with a bit of a laugh: "What nonsense, she is just pure and warm-hearted, and what is there for her to like about my appearance? If you say that she likes Azerien's young face, I would believe it."

"Hey, hey, I didn't say a few words to Miss Olivia, don't use me as a shield." Azerien laughed when he heard it

"Okay, don't talk about others behind your back, go to sleep!" Leon was too lazy to continue to pay attention to his companion's jokes, and lifted the quilt and lay on the blanket first.

After such a long time, he finally stopped using the ground as a bed, and the touch of the blanket on his back made him feel comfortable and a little touched.
