"I also stayed in that village for a few days, but not far after I left, I met villagers who said they wanted to join them."

As he said that, Lilaya closed her eyes, as if thinking about it, and seemed to delete some bad images from her mind.

It was obviously only a few days apart, but apart from the blood, putrid smell, and the fear on their faces, there was no trace of life on those people's bodies.

Hearing this, Shisna's body trembled slightly, and her little hands tightly grasped the corner of her skirt that she hadn't dared to fiddle with just now.

"Did the other villagers feel strange?"

"No." Liraya smiled bitterly. "They simply believed that the villagers who left with those people went to help other people and might come back to give back to the village in the future."

Those people had distributed food to the villagers at that time. You must know that in the cold season, this kind of help can be more easily thanked by others than previous favors.

What's ridiculous is that no villager came forward to ask or help Xisna, who was waiting alone at the door of the house for the adults to come back.

Their so-called joining those people and helping others seems to be based on the fact that they can benefit.

They don't even want to look at things that don't benefit them.

At first, Liraya thought that the adults in Shisna's family had just left temporarily, so she stood not far away and waited with her for a long time.

It wasn't until she fainted that Liraya confirmed that the disappeared villagers should include the adults of Shisna's family, so she decided to take her with her.

For a child, spending the winter alone is more difficult than any other training.

"I have been following them for so long, and I still haven't figured out the purpose of that group of people." Liraya shook his head. "At first, they only attracted adults. Later, in the villages I tracked down, the age of the people who left with them became older and older. Come smaller and smaller.”

"Until their target becomes a child?" Lorraine frowned.

Xue Ni also showed a dignified expression, the people who disappeared in the capital are indeed children.

"It should be, but I don't know why," Liraya said.

If the child had been chosen to be taken away, it would have been impossible to leave Hisna alone.

With the situation of the people in the village where Shisuna stayed, if you think about it a little, you can know what the ending will be for those who disappear together later.

I don’t know if the previous method encountered obstacles. Those people’s methods and rhetoric are no longer giving favors first, and then telling others that they can join them, but instead secretly taking people away.

Like a wild beast with its fangs removed.

"After they succeed, they will disappear and it will be difficult to find their traces immediately."

This is why Lilaya got news about them along the way, which was that they had been to a certain place but disappeared.

The Knights have also encountered this problem recently.

"A real bunch of tough guys."

Lorraine became increasingly aware of the seriousness of this matter.

If they can't find clues about those guys and the people they took away, then they may leave the capital soon.

By then, not only will the people taken away be in danger, but it will also be harder to find those who took them away.

The three fell silent with each other.

This time when I came to Gretel's house, on the one hand, Lorraine and Xueni came back to see each other, and at the same time, they also came to Lilaya to understand this part of the matter.

The current atmosphere seems to be a little bit subtle.

Sisna, who was looking dim at the side, raised a hand and said carefully, "Hisna, can you say a few words now?"

I just said that I would not disturb them, so now I have to ask their opinions first.

"Just say what you want."

Liraya didn't take Hisna's words seriously, and Lorraine and Xueni probably wouldn't mind if she said something in the middle.

After receiving the agreement, Hisna continued, "Hisna has met those people before."

"Eh?" The three of them were stunned for a moment. Hisna's words were beyond their expectation.

"When? Why haven't I heard you say it?"

"Sisna doesn't know how to tell you because you haven't told her about these things." Shisna complained.

"It seems so." Liraya smiled awkwardly.

I didn't tell her these things because I was afraid of irritating her, but I didn't expect it to have bad effects.

"When they came to the house that day, Sisna hid in the house and saw them."

Those people brought the food and the adults in the family thanked them and started to join them.

"They all had a weird black spot on their arm, it looked scary and Sisna didn't like it."

"Black spots?"

Even Lilaya didn't know this information. After all, except for one confrontation with those people, he really didn't notice this.

"Then the guy you brought to the Knights should also have this dark spot." Xueni said.

The people Hisna saw did not necessarily include the guy brought back by Lorraine and the others, so it was difficult to find out anything based on this.

But if the black dots on their arms were a common hallmark of their group, it might help.

Chapter 12

The little guy wants to help too

After a while, Naba came back after finishing the matter.

With the preparations of the maids, dinner soon began.

Both Xueni and Liraya are the heirs of Naba, but in his impression, the number of times the two have eaten together peacefully like this seems to be not many.

It was rare to do this this time, so he was naturally much happier.

After going through many things, Gretel's house has changed a bit.

Xueni and Lorraine are already engaged, and Liraya has also come back from outside. Although I don't know if he will leave, I will consider the rest later.

Compared with Lorraine who is used to this way of dining, Sisna, who just arrived, looks a lot jerky, and even a little overwhelmed.

The tableware was in her hands like some kind of complicated tool, and she didn't know how to use it for a moment.

The current atmosphere made her afraid to show too much embarrassment, so she spent most of the time looking at the things in front of her, but did not dare to move her hands.

The food is delicious, and it is as beautiful as the clothes she is wearing now,

But she is just a little girl in a small village, everything here is like another world to her.

Noticing Shisna's twisted look, Xueni remembered what Lorraine said just now, this little guy looks a bit like her.

Now it seems that it is indeed a bit like that.

On the other side, without Lorraine's guidance, she would be like Sisna now, even reluctant to eat with tableware.

Because some tableware is a little different from her common sense.

Fortunately, the maid next to her noticed Sisna's situation and stepped forward to guide her slightly.

"Thank you." Xisna thanked the maid after receiving the help.

The maid paused, almost unable to react, and then responded with a smile.

This was within the scope of her work, and she never expected to be thanked.

Liraya has already told Naba about Hisna's situation. No matter what her status was before, she is now a guest here and should be treated like this.

In fact, even without the help of the maid, in Lorraine's eyes, the other two seemed to be planning to help.

Such a pure and cute little guy should have received corresponding attention.

She was alone now and really needed help.

Both Cha Cha Xueni and now Lilaya have experienced times when they were alone, and may feel a little bit the same way.

Some people help others in order to benefit from the other person.

Some people see their former self in the other party, and helping the other party seems to be pulling the past self.

Both are motivated by their own selfish desires, but they are very different in nature.

The dinner lasted a little longer than usual, and by the time Lorraine and Xuenie returned to the mansion, it was already very late.

Because she had to go to the Knights tomorrow, Xueni rarely bothered Lorraine and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed after taking a bath.

Looking at her sleeping face, Lorraine felt a little relieved.

"It looks like I've been quite tired recently."

Xueni will stay in the Knights all the time, a large part of the reason is because of Lorraine's intention, but with the adaptation during this period of time, Xueni also feels that he is quite suitable there.

Her future need and recognition are no longer limited to Lorraine.

This should be a good thing for her.

The next day, Lorraine did not go to the academy, but followed Xue Ni to the Knights.

"Actually, you don't have to come."

Because of going out with Lorraine, Xue Ni in the carriage was a little more lazy than usual.

"Go over and see how that guy is doing."

This matter can also be learned from Xueni after she comes back, but that guy may bring clues to Jieting's matter, and Lorraine thinks it is necessary to come and have a look.

And, Liraya will pass today too.

After all, that guy was brought to the Knights by the two of them.

"Okay, it's time to get up." Lorraine shook Xue Ni's shoulders leaning on him, and said, "Here we are."

Because the news of the engagement has spread, Xueni will not be embarrassed at all even if others see the two of them acting very intimately.

But here in the Knights, she shouldn't be this casual.

At the gate of the Knights, Liraya and Shisna were standing there waiting for them.

"Is Shisna also coming together?" Lorraine asked.

"Yes." Before Liraya could speak, Hisna answered herself.

Liraya said, "She said she wanted to come and see."

At first, Liraya didn't quite agree with Shisna coming over, at least at home, it was better than following him out to run around together.

But what she meant was to see if there was anything she could do to help.

How can a child help?Liraya was a little curious.

But looking at her stubborn look, he finally brought her over.

The two of them had been together for a while, and Lilaya could probably guess that this was Hisna's way of repaying the care she received during this time.

In the morning of the knights, everyone was basically dealing with the things they were responsible for, and some people were getting ready to go out, making it a busy scene.

The heirs of the nobles get the corresponding positions here, which is equivalent to getting another power besides the status of the nobility.

But what should be remembered is that this power also comes with corresponding obligations.

This also lets everyone know that this is not a place where they can have fun.

"Follow closely, don't get lost." Liraya reminded Hisna.

This sentence was also said when he took her out of the village before.

"Oh."

Shisna looked around. The clothes worn by the people here were all beautiful, which made her eyes unable to see.

But after looking at it, she still followed everyone honestly.

Following Xue Ni, Lorraine and the others came to the room where they met Roula before.

This is the place where Bilihe and Roula deal with matters, but since no special place has been arranged for Xueni and the three of them yet, they are allowed to stay here temporarily.

Moreover, Bi Lihe is still taking the three of them, so it will be more convenient.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Bi Lihe and Roula discussing things, while Lil was trying to deal with the official documents.

Seeing Lorraine and the others come in, Billy Hutton paused, and said puzzledly, "Second Highness? Why did you come here? I haven't sent someone to find you yet."
