Skretil's Ignorance Walker

"Sister...sister..."

After hearing Lina's words, Leila also began to imagine what it would be like to be a sister. As the youngest child in the family, Leila had never thought about this issue.

"what are you talking about?"

Lu Ren was a little speechless and said that he hadn't even started thinking about that kind of thing yet.

"You want a child, right? Isn't this just a matter of time?"

"But it's not certain that you can have a baby."

Just as Lu Ren said, if Amy has no other choice, then Lu Ren can only adopt a child. By then, he may be a few years older than Leila.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now..."

Finally, Lu Ren decided not to talk about this for the time being, so as not to give Lina and the others some unnecessary expectations.

As time passed slowly, with Lu Ren waiting impatiently, Lina and the others finally set out from Xidao City and spent half a month to reach Lina's hometown, Waluka Territory.

This is a coastal area and also the anchorage of the Frannia Royal Fleet. However, during the war, it was ambushed by the joint fleet of the United Kingdom of Albi and the Kingdom of Is, so it has not been rebuilt until now, and was then taken advantage of by the sea people.

The first place Lu Ren and his companions passed through was the Nagio area, which was known for producing excellent archers. This was the hometown of the Nagio archers, who were the ace troops of the Valuka Army. Their superb shooting skills were enough to hit the bull's eye from a hundred meters away, and with the blessing of magic, their lethality would only be more powerful.

Lina's father, the current Count Valuka, was the lord of Nagio before he became the Count. Until now, the Nagio region has always been the base of the Aquafres family, and their family has been famous for bows and arrows for generations. Even Lina has been practicing archery at home since she was a child. When she was an adventurer, her main weapons were two curved blades and a magic bow made of them.

In addition, Lina also told Lu Ren that their family was not actually a native family of Frannia, but a branch of an ancient family that came here from the United Kingdom of Albi hundreds of years ago. It was also for this reason that their family's status in Frannia has always been low. If it weren't for the rebellion of Duke Valuka, the Aquefres family might still be a small lord in Nagio.

After learning about this, Lu Ren looked at the people practicing archery outside in the Nagio area and couldn't help but sigh that Lina's family actually had such a story. But then again, every noble family has a long history. Isn't it mostly because their ancestors have already suffered all the hardships in their lives?

Afterwards, they finally entered Valuka City. Along the way, Lu Ren and his companions were only attacked a few times, most of which were by blind monsters and goblins, and only once or twice by powerful bandits entrenched nearby. But because of Lu Ren's presence, they did not face any threats.

When Lu Ren arrived at Valuka, he saw this strange city for the first time. However, what caught his eyes were countless ruins. Because of the wars and attacks, the place looked so dilapidated that Lu Ren thought he had come to a place where a war had just ended.

Lina couldn't help but frown when she saw the scenery of her hometown. Her hometown was destroyed like this. Lina was very distressed. Therefore, she didn't argue with Lu Ren, nor talked to Leila. She just looked at the ruins outside the window and the sadness on people's faces.

Their arrival had been announced in advance, so the group easily entered the lord's castle. After getting off the carriage, Lu Ren saw a young man and his men coming to greet Lina.

"Sister, long time no see!"

"Abel, it's been a long time since I last saw you!"

After seeing the person coming, Lina finally smiled happily. She quickly walked forward to greet the other party. It seemed that this boy, who was only about sixteen years old, should be her younger brother.

"Last time I saw you, you were only as old as Leila, and now you've grown so handsome!"

Lina pulled Leila and started talking to Abel, who was a young man with short golden hair, wearing a gorgeous dress with gold edges and looking sunny and handsome. According to the rules of this world, he is now an adult.

"Is this little lady Leila? She is just as cute as onee-sama."

After seeing Leila, Abel leaned over and gently stroked Leila's head, speaking softly.

"This is the first time you've met. Come on, Leila, call Abel uncle."

"Uncle Abel."

Although she was a little shy, Leila still felt safe being with her mother, so she obeyed her mother's words and cried in a baby voice.

Afterwards, Lina introduced Lu Ren, who came to her side, to Abel.

"This is Lu Ren, you should have heard of him, right?"

In response to Lina's words, Abel stood up and showed a sunny and cheerful smile.

"Of course, I have heard of Miss Lu Ren's name a long time ago, and I am very grateful that you can accompany my elder sister to protect her safety. I hope you can have a good time here."

After hearing Abel's polite words, Lu Ren felt a little embarrassed. She scratched her head and then chuckled.

"No, no, I'm also very grateful to your sister for inviting me to come along."

After a brief greeting, Abel told Lina that her father, Count Valuka, was waiting for her in the castle, so Lina asked Abel to take her to see Count Valuka.

To be exact, Lina hasn't seen her father for several years, and Leila has never seen her grandfather even once, so when she came back this time, Lina was still a little nervous.

As Lina and the others entered the Earl's study, Lu Ren was placed in the reception room by Abel. She had nothing to do here, so she ate the snacks offered by the maids while watching the life outside the window.

After the war and the attacks of the sea people, the city is now in ruins, but this cannot affect the lives of the members of the Ackfres family. Even though their castle is severely damaged, their lives are still magnificent.

The difficulties outside have nothing to do with these nobles, but they only need to give out a small part of their property to win the hearts of many people.

Looking at the people outside the castle who were queuing up to receive relief food, Lu Ren couldn't help but sigh. Their lives were very difficult, but just a bowl of soup and a small piece of bread were enough to make them grateful; while the nobles inside the castle were still enjoying almost unlimited resources. Isn't this also a kind of sadness?
