Spellcaster of Azeroth

Chapter 302 Seeing

What I saw in Chapter 3

Now that they looked at the surrounding scene, within tens of meters they could see, they found that there were places full of weeds everywhere, and there were several abandoned houses not far away. Most of the roofs of these houses had disappeared. There are only one or two walls left, and only one house is barely complete, but there are big holes in the walls that cannot be ignored.

"Let's go and stay there for one night first." It was late at night in the Eastern Continent, so Wayne said to Balka, Kalia, Anna, and Valeera.

"Indeed, it's not a good idea to wander in the wild at night." Valeera took out a bow and arrow from her body, and shot an arrow into the grass not far away.

"What did you find?" Balka was a little surprised, he and Teddy didn't notice any changes.

"A small animal that wants to play with us." Valeera answered Balka's words, then walked towards the grass, and dragged out a mountain lion from there.There was an arrow missing from the eye of this mountain lion, and it was obviously dead.

"Okay, bring the prey. Let's go to the house in front that hasn't collapsed. If it's strong enough, we'll rest there until dawn." Wayne looked up at the gods, and calculated how many of them escaped from the winter. It is the time of Spring Valley, and it will be dawn in about an hour.

When they came to the door of this largely intact house, Wayne and the others saw a scrawny little human girl in the house.This girl looks about five or six years old. She is not wearing any clothes. Her cheeks are sunken, her eye sockets are sunken, and her ribs can be seen very clearly. The joints on her arms protrude and you can even see the bones on both sides How is it connected, the whole person is like a skin covered with dry bones, with a few thin hairs lying limply on top of the big head.

"Little girl, what's your name?" Kalia stepped forward and asked with pity in her eyes after seeing the little human girl.

"My name is Lana, big sister, what's your name?" Seeing Kalia asking her, Lana looked at Kalia with a glint in her eyes.

"My name is Kalia, what are you doing here?" Kalia took out a fruit from the package and handed it to Lana.

Lana swallowed her saliva when she saw the fruit Kalia handed over, then turned her head away from the fruit and said, "No need, it would be a waste to give it to me."

Hearing Lana's words, Kalia was taken aback for a moment, and then silently put the fruit back into her package.Kalia understood that the child already knew what was happening to her.

Realizing that Kalia had put away the fruit, Lana turned her head again to look at Wayne and the others behind Kalia, then silently lowered her head and said to Kalia: "I'm waiting for mom here, mom I went to look for food, but I waited for a long time, and I ate up all the grass on the ground, but my mother still didn't come back, I miss her so much."

Then, with faint light in her eyes, she prayed to Kalia and Wayne and others behind Kalia: "Big sister, can you help me find my mother? Please, I really miss her. "

"Of course." Kalia heard this, with a gentle smile on her face, and a faint golden holy light lit up on her hand, gently stroking Lana's head.

"Big sister, your hands are so warm." Lana felt Kalia's touch, and closed her eyes comfortably. After a while, she forced herself to get rid of the desire to continue enjoying Kalia's touch, and turned to He turned around and ran towards a pile of weeds not far away, got into it and disappeared.

At this moment, Kalia stood up and walked to Wayne and the others and said, "Brother Wayne, don't you blame me."

"How could it be, you did a great job." Balka, who never concealed his feelings, held Anna's hand tightly at this moment, looked at Kalia with red eyes and said, "I never thought I’ve never seen anything like this before.”

Having said that, Balka turned his head to look at Wen En and said, "Ven, we must help the child find her mother."

"Of course." Seeing this, Wayne felt that the child was very pitiful, and it was nothing troublesome anyway, so he agreed without hesitation.

"But what should we do?" Balka immediately asked after hearing Wayne agree.

"Look at mine." Wayne smiled, and then took out a scroll to cast a spell. He wanted to use the spell to read the memory of this land.

After a while, Wayne found his target, and he projected a vision of Lana and her mother when they were separated.Lana's mother was also scrawny like Lana, with sunken cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and holes in her clothes.I feel a little shaky standing there.

"Okay, let's follow this projection and see where she goes." After speaking, Wayne took the lead and left the house behind the projection.

After Ying left the house, she kept searching among the weeds. She saw a few weeds the size of a thumbnail, and immediately ran over to pick them up. But there were only a few of them, which were not enough to eat, so Ying continued to search. , As time goes by, the projection goes further and further away, and it is always difficult to find food again.Sometimes the projection finds small animals on the grass in the distance, but they lack nutrition, and the scrawny projection cannot catch up or catch them at all. Even picking up stones on the ground and throwing them from a distance is useless.

"Ah, it's really boring." Valeera yawned at this moment, and said casually with an indifferent look.

"Seeing that child, aren't you sad at all?" Balka thought at first that Valeera just didn't show her sad expression, but now that she heard Valeera's words, she immediately understood that Valeera really didn't care. .So he frowned and asked.

"Sad? Why." Valeera said indifferently, "If I'm going to be sad like this, then I'm going to be so sad every day."

"What do you mean?" Anna pressed Balka's shoulder and asked Valeera with some doubts.

"Isn't this obvious?" Valeera spread her hands and said, "Within the sphere of human influence, such things happen everywhere, and there are many worse things than this. You will be sad because you have never seen it before. I’ve never been surprised by this kind of thing.”

"There are many more miserable things than this?" Kalia was shocked when she heard Valeera's words. She thought that although other races in this world could not be as high as the high elves, they should not be too far behind. For example, although the dwarves are not as rich as the high elves, their lives are also rich enough.But what she saw here this time and Valeera's words made Kalia understand that this world might not be as beautiful as she imagined.

"Yes, the human society may be very different from what you think." Valeera looked up at the dark night sky and said, "The nobles of human beings have more money than they can spend, but they are still tirelessly collecting everything they can. wealth. The slums in every city are a major feature of human society, and it is very difficult for the poor there to survive. I lived in the slums for more than 30 years when I was a child, and I know the situation there very well. If it wasn’t for the Church of the Holy Light who distributes free food from time to time, I might have died long ago…”

When Valeera talked about the slums, she didn't care about it at first, and her carefree expression disappeared.Her voice became lower and lower until it disappeared completely.
