Release that Witch - Chapter 1123

[Chapter 1098 Guardian]

After the crowd dispersed and the old man boarded the train again, Lightning approached, flew into the driver’s cab through the rear window, and landed quietly in the carriage.

The old man stood in front of the console, looking down at the things in his hand, motionless, like a silent statue.

Looking at the back of the other party, she wanted to comfort her, but she didn’t know how to speak.

It wasn’t until he hesitated to touch the half-open window that the other party noticed her existence.

“Ah, you are that little girl from that day…” The old man blinked in surprise.

“My name is Lightning.” Lightning couldn’t help taking a step back, “Sorry, I…”

“I see, you are here to comfort me, right?” He suddenly grinned, “Oh, really, I am not old enough to need a little girl to comfort me, I am laughing at you. But the witch’s The ability is really convenient, you can freely go where you want to go.”

The other party’s expression was not as sad as Lightning imagined, which relieved her nervousness a little, “I, I will knock on the door first next time.”

“I’m not blaming you, kid.” The old man put down the folding table on the wall and wiped it with his sleeve, “Come on, sit here, and I’ll pour you a cup of tea—this is the only one you can serve here people.”

“Thank…thank you.” Lightning walked slowly to the table and sat down. When he approached her, he realized that there was a Neverwinter ID card on the console.

“My name is Blucher, or you can just call me by my nickname: Mr. Loud Voice. That’s what the little devils in the car often call me.” The old man brought a cup of steaming tea to the table, “You just now Did you attend the funeral too?”

Lightning nodded first, and then shook his head, “I just happened to fly over and watched for a while…”

“That proves that you haven’t lost any mates, which is great news.”

She clenched her teacup tightly, “Your son…”

“Ah, his name is Robert, the third child in the family. He died in the battle for the artillery position.” Blucher said calmly. “The battalion commander said he was very brave.”

“He is indeed brave.” Lightning whispered.

From Sylvie, she heard about the whole process of the battle. Without fire support and the presence of the God’s Punishment Witch, she charged against the devil’s spear. If she didn’t have enough courage, it would be impossible to take that step. of.

“In fact, the third child used to be the most timid one. When digging in the mine, no matter how much the foreman bullied him, he would not dare to fight back. He would only come back and cry to me.” Blucher said with emotion, “You are Don’t you think it’s weird that I don’t look that sad?”

The little girl was at a loss for words, “No, I—”

“It doesn’t matter,” the old man reassured, “because I know there will be such a day sooner or later… Both the third son and the other two sons have said the same thing to me.”

“What did they… say?”

“They said that they wanted to protect Neverwinter and their hometown, which is something they have come so hard to get.” The old man took a sip of his tea, “To be honest, I didn’t understand at the time, and I asked why it was them and not others. ”

Lightning was also asking why.

Blucher seemed to see what she was thinking, “Their answer is that others have already sacrificed.”

“Since the militiamen fought against the evil beasts, there have been people who have been on the front line. It’s the same for resisting the Duke of Lane, and it’s the same for resisting the attack of the church. If everyone thinks why it is themselves and not others, we should still be here now.” In the mine, they live the same life as livestock.” The old man said, “As long as there is a battle, there will inevitably be sacrifices. At the mercy of the enemy—that’s what they told me.”

“I don’t know whether the three sons’ ideas are correct, but at least one thing is certain, this is their own choice.” He took a deep breath, “The children have grown up, and they can walk in what they believe is right. On the way, it is enough for me. Compared with the eldest brother who died in the wind and cold, the name of the third child will be remembered by the army forever, what is there for me to be sad?”

The words of the other party that night could not help appearing in Lightning’s mind, “They used to live like mice, thin and cowardly, but since joining the army, it seems that they have changed inside and out. The reason why the First Army is full of confidence—a team composed of such people cannot be easily defeated.”

Is that so…

“By the way, I have to say thank you to you.”

“Thank… me?” Lightning was stunned.

“Of course,” the old man smiled, “without your timely notice, the camp would suffer even greater losses. In a sense, you also protected the First Army, as well as my other son. I’m still thinking When will I meet you for the first time, maybe I will never meet again, but I didn’t expect you to appear directly behind me—it’s really great to be able to say thank you in person.”

After drinking the tea, Lightning waved Blucher goodbye.

She flew out from the original road and passed the front of the carriage. Through the window glass, she saw the old man return to the operating table, grabbed the ID card, and covered his face with his hands.

…

Back in the residential area, Maggie was circling in mid-air, and she jumped up when she saw the lightning, “Where did you wander off! Why did you come back? Have you forgotten today’s big event?”

“Uh, what is it?”

“Today is the day when Lorgar was discharged from the hospital!” Maggie folded her wings and landed on top of her head, “Hurry to the medical center!”

“Ah… alright, I see, don’t shake around.” Lightning righted the pigeon and flew towards the center of the camp.

After the last night attack, the layout of Tower No. 1 station has changed greatly. Looking down from the air, except for the platform, storage yard and sentry tower, the rest of the location is flat.

Functional buildings such as barracks and medical clinics have all sunk into the ground, and the fire protection points can not only cover the outer circle of the defense line, but also take care of the interior. Even if the devil repeats its tricks, it will be difficult to cause a big threat like last time.

Not long after, they saw the familiar figure of the wolf girl.

“Yo,” Lorgar shook his ears, “Long time no see.”

“It’s only been a week.” Lightning finally breathed a sigh of relief seeing the other party’s energetic appearance.

After all, listening to Maggie’s description of the state of the wolf girl when she was carried into the medical center, it was as if she was about to die when she followed her.

“It’s probably because I’m sleeping every day, which makes me feel that the time has become longer.” Lorja stretched her waist, “It’s true that Nana, it took a week to heal the wound, and I think that after another week, the wound will You can heal yourself.”

Since the side effects of witches against sleeping ferns are much higher than that of ordinary people, sleep therapy can usually effectively save the healer’s mana without endangering their lives. This is also the experience accumulated by the Federation during combat.

“As expected of a monster’s recovery ability, UU Kanshu www.sonicmtl.com is on par with Lord Ash!” Maggie said, flapping her wings.

“Uh… Ever since I talked with Miss Andrea, I always feel that this is not a boast.” Lorgar murmured softly.

“Goo?”

“No, it’s nothing.” She walked up to Lightning, intertwined the little girl’s arms with both hands, and lifted the latter up.

“Hey, hey… what are you doing, let me down.” Lightning said with a bit of twitching, “Someone is watching!”

“I heard Sylvie say oh, all you’ve done.”

“I–”

“So, if you work hard, you can still do it.” Lorgar hugged Lightning into his arms, “This is the leader I know well.”

Lightning stopped struggling, and she felt a warm current rushing to her heart. After a long silence, she whispered, “But I’m still a coward.”

“You can say this to me, which means you have taken that step.” Lorgar put down the lightning, “You don’t want to leave alone now, do you?”

Lightning looked at the wolf girl, then at Maggie, and nodded slightly, “Yeah.”

The moment she answered, it was as if something was pressing on her shoulders.

But she didn’t reject the feeling.

Instead, there was an inexplicable peace of mind.

“Goo?” Maggie tilted her head and said, “What are you talking about?”

“We’re talking about celebrating,” Lorgar straightened up. “Since I’m safe and sound, shouldn’t I have a good drink?”

“Congratulations! Celebrations!” Maggie happily echoed.

“Hey, wait…” Lightning evaded, “I still have to patrol at night.”

“It doesn’t matter, as long as you take out the drink, we will drink that for you,” Luo Jia raised his tail, “This is also the dedication that the leader should have, isn’t it?”
