Skretil's Ignorance Walker

The sunset gradually ended, and the bright moonlight began to fall from the sky to the earth. Sheryl looked into Carol's eyes and said seriously:

"I'm not as superior as you think. I'm just like you."

"Sorry, Lady Sheryl, I don't think we are the same."

Hearing Sheryl's words, Carol shook her head. As the daughter of an earl, how could Sheryl be like Carol? Even without reading the book, Carol knew how huge the gap in status between them was.

"Maybe you think I am a carefree nobleman, but I want to tell you that just like you, I need to work hard to survive. My family has disappeared from this world, and now I am just an empty person. Just ordinary people with noble titles."

Perhaps because of some speculative talk with Carol, Sheryl told the other party her true situation. However, although Carol was shocked after hearing it, she did not completely believe it.

"Well, Sir Sherrill, your family is a count, right? Who in the kingdom dares to threaten your family?"

"Haha, what about the earl? There are also the duke and the royal family above the earl. Will it be difficult for them to eliminate us?"

For some reason, Sheryl suddenly laughed. She smiled very sadly, as if she was laughing at herself who didn't know the heights and heights of the world.

"Yeah……"

Carol lowered her head. She didn't quite understand the struggle between the nobles, but at this time, Carol seemed to have a deeper understanding of the noble girl in front of her. Perhaps as she said, there was no difference between them. .

"It's already so late, let me take you back."

Sheryl stood up and stretched out her hand to Carol. The moonlight shone on her face, adding a sense of mystery to it, making Carol feel a little dazed for a moment.

"No need to trouble you. You just saved me and I don't know how to repay you."

"No need to say those kind words, you are not in good health, right? I saw you coughing up blood earlier, so just let me take you home. That way I will feel more at ease."

"I really don't need to trouble you, I can go back by myself, and it's so late, I don't trust you outside alone."

The two of them declined each other, which made Sheryl couldn't help laughing. She looked directly into Carol's eyes and said in a soft voice: "It's okay. I'm very strong. I can handle it even if I encounter danger."

Sherrill couldn't help but think of the past. Although her grades in the academy were not ideal, that was just a disguise to hide better. Sherrill has received training from her family since she was a child, and is much better than most students. Even at first, Sherrill thought that other students had nothing to fear.

But until Sheryl met Shiresi, and then Vera. She used to be able to make excuses for her results by saying she didn't give her best, but when she saw the strength of Xi LeiSi and Vera, Sheryl began to question herself, could she really compete with them?

Although Sheryl has been training hard since she was a child, she is still not as good as those two people. Acquired efforts are important, but innate talent can also determine a person's upper limit. In Sheryl's view, people like Xi Leisi and Vera are highly talented people. They only need a little training to have abilities far beyond their own. Sometimes Sheryl also wonders why she doesn’t have that kind of talent?

"Okay, let's go."

It was useless to think so much, Sheryl shook her head, took Carol's hand and planned to send her back.

Carol wanted to refuse, but she couldn't break away from Sheryl and had to follow behind Sheryl. In Carol's eyes, the pure moonlight was like a veil, casting an unfathomable shadow over Sheryl, making Carol unable to resist.

Although Sheryl didn't know where Carol's family lived, she asked Carol and took Carol through several streets, and finally came to Carol's house.

It was a house that looked somewhat damaged, as if it was a utility room that had not been used in Sherrill's house for a long time. Sherrill couldn't help but think, could such a house withstand a strong wind?

"Well, Lady Sheryl, I'm home and I can go by myself."

After saying that, Carol finally broke free from Sheryl's hand. She stood in front of the house and felt a blush for some reason. Maybe this is the first time I have such contact with outsiders.

"Well, see you then."

Sheryl didn't intend to stay too long, she waved her hand and said goodbye to Carol. Then she turned around and disappeared into the night. Originally, Carol wanted to invite Sheryl into the house to sit there, but when she opened her red lips lightly, no sound came out. She could only watch Sheryl disappear from her sight silently. among.

"...Forget it, maybe there will be a chance next time."

Facing this aristocratic girl whom she met for the first time, Carol was a little nervous, but she also wanted to chat with him more. Carol had a hunch that she might be able to chat with him. In that case, maybe Sheryl He might even become her first friend.

Thinking of this, Carol felt a little shy, but fortunately there was no one around, so she quickly covered her blushing cheeks and entered the house.

Late at night, a dark shadow appeared in front of Carol's house. After looking around, he took off the hood that obscured his face, revealing a thin and haggard face. And this person is none other than Carlisle Voltu

Opening the door softly, Carlisle entered the room quietly, as if he was afraid of waking others. Carlisle even used magic to eliminate any sounds he might make.

"..."

He took out a bottle of red wine from the cabinet. It was a bottle of wine of some vintage. When Carlisle bought it, he was not willing to drink it. He only dared to drink a small amount at a time. It was for no other reason than this bottle of red wine. It cost Carlisle one-third of his savings.

Carlisle poured the red wine into the glass very carefully, for fear of pouring too much. Finally seeing that there was probably less than a hundred milliliters of red wine in the glass, Carlisle sighed.

Then he took out a plate of peanuts from the cupboard, put them all on the table, and began to slowly taste the mellow aroma of red wine with his eyes closed.

"That idiot..."

Carlisle said softly that when he first met Sicklefus, he didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, a fool was not worth his attention. But when he actually came to work with him, Carlisle was almost pissed off by him.

If it weren't for the generous reward and the fact that he was the only family he had, Carlisle would have wanted to slap Sicklefus to death.

"whispering sound……"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Carlisle accidentally slammed his wine glass on the table.

Then, as the wooden door creaked, a soft voice came from the room.

"Uncle, are you back?"
