Chapter 18 Talent Guardian

In fact, Yiming and Meallie simply understood "Guardian" as a literal meaning, but after the girl explained it, they discovered that in this world, "Guardian" is not such an ordinary word. Only those who protect magic can have this title. Moreover, according to the girl, those who can become "Guardians" are not ordinary warriors. They either have some kind of racial talent or have powerful power beyond ordinary people. After all, the Guardian's mission is to protect the safety of the magician. Since it is the magician's turn to appear, it will definitely not be just going to the mouse cave in the countryside to kill a wild boar. In that case, ordinary warriors cannot defend or counterattack the attacks of magic users at all. Without two brushes, there is no way to do it.

Originally, Yi Ming thought things would not go so smoothly. After all, this is not a game. You go find a npc and tell her that she is here to protect her. Her father just died, so Npc will answer happily to agree to your conditions. In fact, he originally thought that this girl would at least be alert to him and Mayalie. After all, out of consideration, Luo Luns's body had been completely wiped out by Yi Ming. Facing two strangers who came to the door and spoke vernacular, no one would no longer say, "Okay, I understand, please stay."

But this girl was indeed very strange. Perhaps it was because her father's death brought her too heavy blow, or perhaps some other reason. In short, she did not particularly reject the two, but since then, the girl rarely walked out of the room. Every time Imin or Meallie cooked the meal and sent it to her door. And the two of them naturally lived in the house. Lawrence's house is a typical double-storey building. Although it is not very large, living in three people is more than enough.

“…………Do you think she will commit suicide?”

Yiming leaned on the chair boredly, staring at the closed door and asked quietly. Mayalie was obviously a little worried about this.

(It's hard to say, but...I don't think...she needs a time and a process of acceptance.)

“………We have to wait.”

Yi Ming said lightly, then picked up the teacup and took a small sip of tea. After removing the meaning of the name of the guardian that the girl explained to them at the beginning, their only gain was that the girl's name was Lita.

Night falls.

The bedroom door gently opened a gap, and Lita looked out from it. After confirming that there was no one in the living room, she walked out quietly. Then she slowly opened the door and slipped out.

It was pitch black outside. Even under the gem lamp, the street was still dim. Little Lita was walking in a hurry on the street. She seemed to be familiar with the local situation. After several turns, she had already arrived at the central square from an alley that ordinary people could not know. Then, Lita stopped hesitantly. She looked at the way back uneasy, and then looked at the street in front of her. After hesitating for a while, Lita gritted her teeth and then ran down the city of Glory.

The road was silent, and even half of the soldiers watching were visible. At the same time, the originally neat and clean environment became dirty and messy. Sewage flowed through the cracks of stone bricks, emitting an unpleasant odor. The mice walked in groups of three or five, blatantly crossing the street without falling to the point where everyone shouted and beat them. After all, there was no big difference between the people in this place and them.

Lita jogged all the way, not even daring to look at the dark houses on both sides. Then she came to a dilapidated house that almost didn't even have the function of shielding from wind and rain, and knocked on the door gently. After a while, the door opened. A thin-looking boy appeared in front of Lita. He was obviously surprised to see Lita.

"Lita, it's so late, you..."

"Shut, please let me in, I have something to tell you!"

A hint of distress was clearly revealed on the boy's face, but he nodded, then let Lita in, then looked around for a few seconds, and then carefully closed the door.

"What happened? Lita?"

The boy asked hurriedly, his face slightly red under the reflection of firewood. Lita bit her lips tightly and said hesitantly after hesitating for a long time.

"I, my father... seems dead."

"Why?"

The boy widened his eyes in surprise and looked at Lita in disbelief.

"You mean Mr. Lawrence? Dead?"

"Yes, someone told me this, and he also brought my father's ring, but...Shut, I don't believe it. I don't believe it. My father is dead! I absolutely don't believe it. Please, please check it for me, okay?"

“………………………………………………………………………”

The boy's voice became much smaller. He kept nodding and looked at Lita at the same time.

"I think I can find some ways, but... you have to ask them for help in person."

"Please! Take me to see them. I don't believe that my father is dead. But when I went to find my father's former friends, they were unwilling to help me! I... I don't know what to do..." Lita's eyes were filled with tears, and she grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly. After thinking for a while, the boy nodded heavily, and then grabbed Lita's hand.

"Come with me."

Although Lita was suddenly caught by a boy, she frowned a little, but she followed the boy through the complex alleyway, walking a path that she didn't even know about, and then entered the center of this dirty area.

Just as every city has a prosperous and depraved side, the slums in front of us are the paradise for those dirty and depraved. In fact, it is completely unnecessary to have sympathy for these people. People with confidence and hope will go out on their own. Those who have been lazy, depraved, and self-destructive all their lives are naturally only suitable to roll in the mud. There is no reason why the poor become poor. Maybe they want to stand out, maybe they want to shine their ancestors. But they lack some things, luck, strength, confidence or dignity.

So some people can get out, while some people can only beg for the rest of their lives.

Lita looked at the ragged people around her, feeling very scared. Although Lita didn't know what Lita actually meant, it made her instinctively disgusted. So Lita couldn't help but speed up her pace, hoping that the boy could take her away from here sooner. But she didn't expect that the boy would take her to a deeper place.

A dark house.

Looking at the exposed-wearing and polished women in front of them were hugging the strong men and gently rubbing their bodies, Lita's face turned red completely. But she still saluted the strongest men tremblingly as the boy told the boy. "Hello, hello..."

“…………Shut.”

The man obviously disdained this.

"What does this little girl do? What does she do here?"

"Dear adults, this lady is here to ask your help in finding her father, a businessman, Mr. Lawrence. And, this lady is his daughter..."

"Lorence's daughter?"

The man's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he pushed away the woman holding him, narrowing his eyes and staring at Lita.

"What's wrong with Lawrence?"

"I, my father, he... seems to be dead, I don't know... I ask you to help me find out... I, I am willing to pay any price..."

"Diet? That bastard is finally dead? OK! Very good!!"

Suddenly, the man burst into laughter, staring at the timid Lita, his voice filled with joy.

"You are the daughter of Lawrence, well... very well, I agree to help you determine your father's life and death, but before that... you said you're willing to pay anything?"

"Who are you?"

Even Lita noticed something was wrong.

"You don't need to worry about this...Shut! Grab her! Give her medicine! I want to see what expression would appear if Lawrence knew his daughter shouting happily under my body!!"

"you…………!!"

Lita turned around instinctively and wanted to escape from this place, but Shute grabbed her, twisted her wrist backhand and hugged Lita tightly in her arms.

"Shut, what are you doing?! Let me go!! Aren't we friends?"

"Big, sir."

But Sult didn't care about Lita's shouting at all, but gasped and looked at the man in front of him excitedly.

"When you are over, can you let me...I've been fond of this girl for a long time..."

"Okay! Come together!!"

The man laughed proudly, he nodded happily, and then he didn't know if it was because he was too hard, the round and rolling thing that looked no different from the inverted egg fell off his neck, and then fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Why?"

Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the man who was slowly falling to the ground, as if he felt like he was dreaming. But they soon encountered the same fate. In just a few minutes, there was no living person in front of him. Only Lita, who had already controlled her, looked at everything in front of him in a daze. Xiute reacted the fastest. He took out the dagger with his back hand and then put it on Lita's neck.

"Come out! Who is it?!!"

The air in front of the two began to twist, and then gradually, a human form appeared from it. Yi Ming dragged his black double blades backwards and looked at the panicked two people in front of him with a bitter smile.

"You shouldn't be threatening women."

He glanced at Lita, then turned to Shute.

"Only weak men do this, and I don't like that kind of men. Obviously, you're the kind I don't really like."

"No, don't come here! I'll kill her when I come here!!"

Shute shouted almost madly, waving the dagger, pressing it tightly against Lita's neck. Yiming looked at her, then shook his head and sighed, then Yiming suddenly stretched out his right hand and pulled it back.

Lita only felt a cold blade passing by her face, and Shute's head jumped down on his shoulder and rolled to the ground, and then his body fell softly to the ground. At this moment, Yi Ming had put away his weapon, and no one even saw clearly what his weapon was and how he started attacking.

"I…………"

“……………………”

Facing the tragic scene of corpses everywhere in front of her, Lita couldn't help but take a step back. She looked at the man in front of her, not knowing what to say.

"I have to say that you deserve sympathy."

Yiming looked at Xiu Te's head on the ground, with childishness and horror on it.

"Nothing is more terrifying than staggering a friend."

"You, you killed them..."

"That's right."

Yiming opened the door and looked outside. Then he made a gesture to Lita.

"I know you don't trust us, you think we're lying, it's good, really. I'm so glad you're not a fool. Although I don't know what you learned at the Magician School, it's obvious that these are not enough to protect you... I can only tell you that what we are saying is the truth. Even if you don't accept it, it doesn't matter, but I hope you don't come to such a dangerous place again in the future."

"You've been following me all the time?"

"I wouldn't have done that if you didn't run out every night."

Yi Ming shook his head.

"A girl shouldn't be running around in the middle of the night. If you go out during the day, at least I can let Mealie accompany you. I said that we promised Mr. Lawrence to protect you, not to hurt you. We promised Mr. Lawrence that will not change."

“……………………”

Lita lowered her head and didn't say anything for a long time. Then, she looked at Shute's body with sad eyes, and finally raised her head and walked to Yiming's side.

"So, then, what should I do now?"

She asked hesitantly.

"You can leave here, and then anyone who attacks you will be killed by me, that's that simple."

Yiming shrugged and spread his hands at Lita.

“Meyalie has prepared a pretty good black tea, I think you will like it.”
