Chapter 45 The Dancing Flame

"Back? The tent has been set up."

When Arno returned to the clearing, Cuso and Huck had already pitched the tent.

The tent didn't look very good, and there were even a few holes in it.

But somehow it gives people a comfortable and warm feeling.

"What is this tent?"

"Jim gave it, saying it was left by someone who left here before."

Kuso pointed aside and replied.

Arno looked along, and Jim was standing there, looking at them with a smile.

It can be seen that he is really in a good mood.

Presumably because of the increase in membership?

Knowing that it is a temporary stay for a few days, can you be so happy?

"Weak and weak people always hug each other to keep warm."

"Because of this, their feelings are more sincere and pure than those of powerful people."

Arno thought to himself.

But just right, this effect is what I want.

When the people he cherished are dying in front of his eyes, Jim can burst out with greater anger.

Once emotions are out of control, it is easier to control them.

This is a truth that has been true since ancient times.

"What shall we do next?"

Huck walked slowly to Yano's side and asked in a low voice.

"Stay still."

Arno replied.

He looked up at the sky and estimated the time.

Those rebels who left the note should be back soon.

It is better to wait for a while now.

"All you have to do is break into the slums and provide information to the lord on time."

"Others, you don't need to do anything."

Arno glanced at Huck's face,

On that slightly immature face, there was still a shadow that could not be erased.

"Don't worry so much, everything will be fine."

"There is no danger in this mission."

"If we do our job well, we will benefit greatly."

Patting Huck on the shoulder, Arno said.

Time goes by bit by bit,
As the sun went down, the light began to dim.

A bonfire has been raised in the clearing to replace Dying Light.

"It's very cold at night, you can warm up before going to sleep."

Jim pushed Arno to the fire and said with a smile.

Arno shrugged, and obediently placed his hands over the flames.

The temperature of the flame dissipated some of the cold and spread warmth to him.

"Speaking of which, why didn't Frank come?"

At this time, a circle of people had gathered around the fire to keep warm.

But Jim didn't see the fat man named Frank alone.

In the past, he was the first to come here to grab a good position.

"Are you sleeping late?"

A 40-year-old uncle next to him said.

"I'll go and have a look, it will be bad if I catch a cold."

Jim thought for a while and stood up.

If they catch a cold, it is no small matter for penniless people like them.

Arno didn't speak,

In his eyes, flickering flames were reflected.

On the left and right sides, Kuso and Huck kept warm and didn't bother to speak.

After all, they also hang out in the entertainment area, and they have nothing in common with this group of people who hang out in the slums.

"Strange, no one saw him."

After a while, Jim came back with a puzzled look on his face.

"Maybe he went out to find food? After all, he is so fat, and his consumption is high and he can't bear hunger."

It was still the uncle who said.

"No, he used to report when he went out."

"Is something wrong?"

Jim looked worried.

"You think too much."

The uncle laughed.

Then, he took out a bottle from his trouser pocket, and the transparent liquid inside shook slightly under the light of the flame.

"You still drink, don't you know that your liver is bad?"

Seeing this, Jim felt a little helpless.

"It's because the liver is not good that you have to hurry up and drink it, otherwise what should I do if I don't have a chance to drink it?"

"It's all nonsense."

　I don't have time today, there are only so many, let's watch it for now.
