Chapter 119: Fire and Silver Flowers Never Sleep (Ten Thousand Words Update 2)
If there is anyone whose reputation in Eagle Town can rival Raven’s, it must be Lux.
As the only priest and doctor in Eagle Town, she can be said to be conscientious and even perfect.
Although the Church of Light has always claimed that it always stands on the side of believers, spreads kindness, mercy and fraternity, and wants the grace of the Lord of Light to spread to every corner of the continent.
However, in fact, most pastors and priests in churches are still greedy for money, willing to serve the rich, and will never show mercy to the poor people. This was the case with the previous priest of Eagle Town.
Only Lux is different.
She treats everyone equally. Whether her subjects are injured or sick, they will receive her careful care. It is also common for her to give free medicines and teach her subjects how to identify herbal medicines.
Lax’s medical skills and benevolence are indispensable for the previously deployed subjects to quickly integrate into Eagle Town.
Today is no exception. Among the large number of refugees who have poured in, there are many who are sick. Even though the number has gradually decreased, Lux still received dozens of sick patients today until it was completely dark. , and finally had a moment of respite.
After washing her face, she sat in the bedroom with her feet in the pine basin, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation after a tiring day. She stared at the wall with her eyes, emptying her mind.
But for some reason, the originally smooth wall began to change as he looked at it, as if it had turned into Raven's face.
Lux quickly shook her head to wake herself up, but her eyes inadvertently fell on the bedside table, where the angel kiss that Raven gave her was placed.
Looking at the exquisite bottle, Lux felt a touch of sadness in her heart.
At this moment, the creaking sound of being stepped on in the wooden corridor came, which made Lux instantly alert.
Although she believes in the simplicity of her subjects, Lux is by no means a little white flower with no sense of self-preservation.
The creaking sound disappeared, and a magnetic voice sounded outside the door: "Lux, are you there?"
It's Raven!
Lux's breathing suddenly stagnated, and she felt a little panicked. She didn't expect that Raven would appear here, just outside her bedroom, which made her not sure how to react for a moment. .
With this stunned moment, the door lock clicked, and Raven opened the door and walked in.
When their eyes met, Raven was stunned immediately.
Her blond hair was scattered on Lux's shoulders, showing a kind of tenderness and purity unique to a girl. Her sapphire-like eyes trembled slightly, and her mouth was slightly open, looking surprised.
The loose nightgown covers the body, but because of its childish style, it makes the owner even more innocent, making it impossible for people to have any evil thoughts.
Her snowy feet were soaked in the basin, and her smooth and straight insteps could be clearly seen through the water.
Lux's face suddenly turned red: "Raven! You, get out quickly!"
It's bad, you are being treated as a gangster!
But Raven is in Lux's room now.
If you are kicked out now, you will really never be able to get in again!
With a touch on the belt, an exquisitely wrapped gift box suddenly appeared in Raven's hand: "I'm here to celebrate your birthday!"
"...Huh?" Lark Si's eyes blinked: "Today is the 31st "
Seeing that Lux was willing to listen to him, Raven took a long breath and quickly explained: "Yes, that's why I came to the church. The side door was not closed, and I couldn't find you after looking for it for a long time. , that’s why I came to the bedroom.”
"I'm really worried that you are in any danger! I didn't mean to break in!"
Of course, if you look closely, Raven's skill of breaking the door lock in a few clicks is really worth it. Suspect.
But Lux did not dwell on this detail, but lowered her head.
She never expected that Raven would remember her birthday, which she had forgotten, and even send him a gift in person, which made her heart feel warm for a while.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached, Lux looked up and saw that Raven had walked in front of her and squatted down.
"Don't..."
As soon as she uttered a word, Raven's hand fell on her ankle, gently lifted the foot, and wiped away the water for her with the soft towel next to it. trace.
Lacus felt that her mind went blank. If Raven hadn't done anything unnecessary, she would have kicked him out.
Leaven also endured it very hard: "The water has become cold. You live alone, so you have to take care of yourself."
Lux breathed out from her nose, With a low "hmm" sound, he quickly retracted his feet into his slippers.
Raven did not change his posture. He held the wooden box as a gift box with both hands and handed it to Lux: "Happy birthday."
Hearing these words, Lux's heart suddenly trembled. After the hard work in the past few days, , fatigue, and the grievances suffered when dealing with patients suddenly came to my heart, and then they all dissipated, turning into a thin layer of tears covering my eyes.
"What, are you crying?" Raven asked with a smile.
"No..." Lux sniffed, wiped the corners of her eyes with the back of her hand, took the gift box, put it on her knees, and opened it little by little.
It is a pair of bracelets made of elf craftsmanship. The main body is three intertwined metal pillars, like vines, and the details are lifelike. The bracelets are dotted with pieces of green gems, exuding a green light. Look. It looks like a firefly in the dark night.
Lux touched the pair of exquisite works of art with her fingers: "I said it, so you still remember it."
"Yes, you said you like light." Raven sat next to Lux: "You like it?" Fireflies only seen in books ”
"So, when I saw it, I felt that this pair of bracelets was specially prepared for you."
Lux nodded and suddenly asked: "Including the 'Heart of the Forest' "?"
Raven was speechless.
Why is this girl so well-informed? Denise too, is this kind of news worth spreading everywhere! ?
Just when Raven was feeling extremely embarrassed, a light suddenly flashed outside the window.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and quickly pointed to the window: "Look!"
Lux was still a little angry, but Raven's words still caught her attention.
The window is opposite the door, close to the inside of the bed.
Looking back, a look of surprise appeared on Lux's face at first, and then her eyebrows opened and her facial features relaxed, revealing a look of joy from the bottom of her heart. Outside Eagle Town, on a snowy field, there were clouds of sparks flying!
They flew from the ground to the sky, turning into fire rain all over the sky, so bright that it almost ignited the gloomy sky!
Some are like flowers, some are like waterfalls, and some are like angel wings. As they tumble one after another, it’s like fiery red stars are exploding!
It is as if there is an invisible large pen and paper, using the dark night as a drawing board, splashing down a ball of warm ink!
"It's so beautiful..." Lux sighed, and unknowingly climbed onto the bed, placed her hands on the window sill, raised her head and couldn't stop admiring the scenery in front of her.
And she also turned into the beauty in Lei Wen's eyes.
The firelight flickered, illuminating Lux's face in various ways. She was leaning on the window sill, like an extremely perfect sculpture. Even the most skilled painter could not describe her manner. every cent.
Raven moved forward and leaned against Lux.
Time passed little by little, and after a waterfall of fire, the whole performance finally stopped.
"This is the best birthday gift I have ever received."
A smile appeared on Raven's lips: "As long as you are satisfied, I will be happy if you are happy."
Lux's His brows furrowed slightly: "Then why don't you be more honest with your hands?"
"Ahem..." Raven cleared her throat slightly embarrassed: "You may not believe it, my hand... has its own ideas."
"It's a little itchy. "Lacus frowned and tried to pull her foot back, but it didn't move.
"It's not a big problem. Stretch out the other one and I'll warm it for you."
Holding his hand, which was slightly cold but delicate and touchingly soft, Raven looked out the window: "This time I’m so busy that I haven’t been able to find time to see you...and I might even be even busier in the future.”
“ Want to help the Slater family?"
"Yes, but don't worry, I have come down to Bloody Heights, and I will be back this time."
Raven thought Lacus would. I continued to ask, but it didn't happen. The young priest tilted his head and looked out the window, motionless.
"Lux, are you crying again?"
"...No."
"Then let me see?" With that, Raven moved closer to Lux's face. .
“No.”
“Next time I come back, I will never go out again, okay?”
"I didn't cry..."
Lux said softly, looking at the deep dark night, feeling that her feet were warm, and just wanted to stay like this forever.
But not everyone is as carefree as the two of them.
In the dark night and in the snow, Suohe sneezed heavily!
"A sneeze——"
He rubbed his nose and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, how did this Raven come up with such a torturous idea! Dozens of kilograms of molten iron are gone. It's a waste, a waste!!"
"In this cold weather, gray dwarves cannot be used as livestock!"
Yes, the gold and silver fireworks just now were caused by these gray dwarves.
Iron flower.
This was also their own use of molten iron as weapons, which inspired Raven and reminded him of such lively and festive activities in his previous life.
"You guy with no artistic talent!" Bowell was also very cold, and his clothes were burned with many holes by molten iron, but his mouth was still very harsh: "You have no idea how great this invention is, Lord Baron. ! This is simply the divine revelation of the Lord of Forge!"
Suo Hei jumped three feet high in anger: " God Qi? You still have the nerve to say that if you hadn't poured molten iron out of the furnace, how could Baron Raven have thought of such a vicious way to torture us? "
"Kick his ass!"< br>
Suohei gave an order, and a dozen gray dwarves rushed forward, immediately suppressing Bovel under them.
In Eagle Castle, there are also people who haven’t rested yet.
Nancy sat by the window, staring blankly at the already dark land, her eyes still seemed to be shining with the previous brilliance.
Jenny stood timidly in the corner, with worry and fear in her eyes.
I don’t know how long it took before Nancy spoke: "You mean, Raven, went to Eagle Town Church?!"
"...Yes." Jenny said tremblingly .
“When he left, did he bring a gift?”
"...Yes."
The room fell into silence again.
Jenny secretly raised her eyes to look at Nancy, only to find that her young lady’s face was filled with calmness.
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Jenny felt, but she didn’t know what to say or do!
At this moment, the torches swayed on the wall of Eagle Castle, and the suspension bridge was slowly lowered.
Raven is back.
Nancy turned around and walked out without saying a word.
I didn’t even notice that I broke my heel.
