Chapter 20 Attack on the Giants

In the world outside the wall, there are many giants that mainly prey on humans. In history, humans once faced the crisis of extinction.However, the three walls rescued human beings from the despair of being swallowed. Since then, human beings have lived in the walls to avoid the giants' predation, even if the price of stability is loss of freedom, lingering in the walls like domestic animals.

After living in the wall for 100 years, people gradually adapted, began to forget the fear of giants, and started a normal life.

[-], Ruth's Wall, Trost District.

Aaliyah was holding a large paper bag containing a loaf of bread. The height of the loaf blocked half her view, so her gait was unsteady, followed by a brown pony tied high with a dark blue ribbon. Her movements were swaying, as if she was about to fall at any moment.

Fortunately, her destination was not far away, and she only needed to walk a few more steps to see the tavern in front of her, so she didn't apologize, but continued to walk forward with her ponytail swaying.

Of course, she didn't intend to go in and drink. If a minor goes into a tavern and is found out, she will be jailed for a few days. But she is the daughter of the tavern owner, so going in and out of the tavern is not a big problem, and everyone in the Garrison Corps knows about it. She has confirmed her identity, and she has a cute appearance and a well-behaved personality, so she has not been gossiped about.

Walking around the corner, Aaliyah seemed to see a child standing at the door of the tavern looking up and down from the gap between the breads, and then raised her leg to go in. She suddenly became anxious, and quickly ran over to the tavern with the paper bag tightly in her arms. Shout, "Kids in front wait! Don't go in!"

Recently, the people in the garrison regiment have been monitoring the tavern more closely. If they see a violation of the rules, they will be imprisoned immediately. They will not be released on bail until two days later, and they have to pay a lot of bail. I'm worried about this.

But the child didn't seem to hear her cry, and the movement of raising his legs didn't stop at all, Aaliyah panicked, clutching the paper bag tightly with his left hand, he rushed forward and threw himself on his waist, "Wait! Minors cannot enter! We will be punished!"

The body hugged by her stiffened for a moment, and then an elbow hit Aaliyah's stomach. She couldn't help but let out a cry of pain, and subconsciously let go of her hand and bent down to cover her stomach, her facial features wrinkled tightly. It looks very funny.

Which family's child is so violent!

She raised her head with difficulty to see the man's face clearly, because the sunlight was reversed, and the pain from her stomach made her eyes a little blurred, she couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, she could only hear his cold voice, "Don't touch me, brat."

Although she was only fourteen years old, Aaliyah couldn't help but twitched the corners of her lips when she was called a kid by the kid in front of her who was about the same height as her.

I don't know whose child it is, but his attitude is really bad, he needs to be educated!

So when the pain was over, she straightened her face, showing the appearance of an experienced big sister, and seriously taught the child in front of her the principles of life, "Although I don't know who you are or who your father is, as a Boy, you can't treat others with this attitude, if you continue like this, you won't be able to marry a wife when you grow up."

The surrounding air gradually became icy with her words, and after her last words fell, the air around her body seemed to cool down, making her feel a little suffocating chest tightness.

Is she wrong?It's pretty good, even she herself is about to be moved by herself.

She tilted her head and looked at the person in front of her, but gradually realized something was wrong.

The sun was covered by the clouds, without the cover of the backlight, and his face was well exposed in her sight. Although that face looked a bit baby-faced, it didn't look like a child at all, but belonged to about 20 The face of a very old young man, and the expression on this face is very displeased, even annoyed.

Aaliyah understood instantly, and then burst into tears, so ashamed that she really wanted to find a hole in the ground and forget it.

Sure enough, what my father said, you can't judge people by their appearance, is an eternal truth. Obviously, his height looks similar to his own!Who knows that he has grown up just by looking at his back!

Sometimes the guests are not necessarily tall and thick men, they may be men with stunted growth and malnutrition.

So in order to make up for the mistake she made because of the second, Alia rolled her eyes, lowered her head and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I misidentified the person, you look like a friend of mine."

So please ignore her and go to the tavern to eat and drink!If my father finds out that she drove away the guests, he will scold her to death!

Thinking of her father's face-to-face smile, Aaliyah shuddered, and quickly showed a flattering smile, "Well, it's my fault, I shouldn't talk to you like this, please don't be disturbed by me, a brat To your interest in drinking."

The man in front of him frowned, and gave her a cold look, probably because he didn't want to quarrel with such a brat, so he turned and walked into the tavern after just looking at her.

But this glance made Alia shudder.

What sharp eyes!Even the father of a retired soldier doesn't have such eyes. This man looks younger than his father, but why does he have more piercing eyes?

Aaliyah blinked her eyes puzzled, but her purpose in life is to stop thinking about things that she can't understand, so she was just puzzled for a moment, and then quickly threw the question into a corner of her mind , followed him into the tavern.

Maybe because he heard her footsteps, the man in front turned his head and looked at her coldly, "Didn't it say that minors can't enter the tavern?"

Aaliyah was embarrassed, but she had learned her most proud skill after working in the tavern with her father for a long time, thick skin, so she just blushed a little, and quickly replied with a smile, "Because I am the daughter of the tavern owner. ah!"

The man paused for a moment, as if he was a little dissatisfied with being refuted by a brat, and he didn't speak any more. He just turned around and walked forward. He walked to the seat in front of the bar and sat down. The middle-aged man with the wine glass asked, "A glass of wine, I want a wine glass that no one has used."

The middle-aged man was taken aback for a moment, but soon came back to his senses, "Yes! Please wait a moment." Then when he saw Aaliyah behind him, he raised his chin at her, "Go to the warehouse to get a new cup Come."

Aaliyah pursed her lips, gave the paper bag to her father after a reply, and then walked slowly towards the warehouse behind the door.

There are many ingredients in the warehouse, as well as a batch of wine glasses they just bought. Aaliyah walked to the shelf where the wine glasses were stored, and carefully looked at each wine glass that was neatly placed when she was bored. Think about whether to choose one that looks dirty.

Forget it, she is an honest and lovely girl, she is not fussy, even if the other party is a child who wants to take advantage of her mouth, so it is better to honestly take a good one out.

And the most important point is that if that man gets angry and leaves, her father will definitely scold her, and maybe he will punish her not to eat after cooking tonight, but to eat only dry bread.

Her fingers lingered on each wine glass, and then stopped on a wine glass that looked brighter and newer. She took it off and held it tightly in her palm. She went out and washed the glasses in the sink at the bar. Handed it over to my father, but my father just waved his hand casually, "Go serve the bar."

She froze for a moment, looked down at the glass, then silently looked at the man holding his head and looking at her impatiently, walked to the barrel decisively and turned on the tap, then put the glass under the tap to fill the wine , She waited until the glass was full before turning on the tap, walked up to him and put the glass on the table and pushed it to him, "Your wine."

He picked up the glass, frowned and looked at the wine inside, as if to confirm whether there were some unknown materials floating on it, and after a while, he approached the glass to sniff, and then took a shallow sip.

Aaliyah was stunned. After staying in the tavern for so long, it was the first time she saw someone who drank so carefully. Men are different, this man drinks like...

Like those capitalists who doubt whether there is poison in it and are very afraid that the poisoner will annex his property after he dies, it looks so awkward.

Hmm... In fact, maybe it is more like the princess in those stories who pay attention to etiquette so that she can marry a good family?

Maybe it was her eyes that made the man feel uncomfortable, he frowned tightly, stopped drinking, "What's the matter?"

"Ah!" Alia was startled, and shook her head quickly, so fast that others wondered if her head would be broken. "No, no! It's okay!"

If she said what was in her heart, she would definitely receive colder eyes than before.

This kind of look only needs to be seen on her father, she doesn't want to have a second father.

Although he didn't quite believe the girl with a guilty expression in front of him, the man ignored her. He just glanced at her and continued to drink in his unique way. The slightly raised neck was very beautiful, just like a swan. Very pleasing to the eye.

But Aaliyah is not yet old enough to think about it, so she just glanced at her father and walked to his father to help him wipe the wine glass. After taking out a few coins and putting them on the table, she walked over to collect the cups and money, and then stared at his leaving back in a daze.

...It really looks so short!It wasn't entirely her fault that he was underage!Obviously it was his own reason!

She wrinkled her nose, rinsed his used glass in the sink, and set it on the counter to dry naturally.

"Aaliyah." The father who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "That man may be a soldier."

"Huh?" Aaliyah blinked, "There are also soldiers who come here to drink."

People from the Garrison Corps often come here. Is there anything special about it?

"No, the soldiers I'm talking about are different from those in the garrison regiment." Father's expression was solemn, "his temperament is not what people in the garrison regiment can have."

"Temperament?" She inexplicably thought of the man's cold eyes, and subconsciously shuddered, "That's right, the people in the Garrison Corps have never made me feel so cold."

When the father heard the words, he covered his belly and laughed, "Do you know what temperament is?"

"Of course I understand!" Aaliyah, who felt underestimated, stomped her feet, "Isn't it the temperament of a soldier? I'm not a brat!"

"Yes, Aaliyah is not a brat." He touched the top of her head with a nostalgic look on his face, "When I was your age, I was already trained as a soldier in the Training Corps."

"Then I went out to participate in an investigation outside the wall and was discharged because I couldn't accept the horror of giants." Aaliyah dissatisfiedly removed his hand on top of her head, "You said it many times."

He widened his eyes and pretended to look at Aaliyah fiercely, "Of course you little brat who has never seen it before, you don't know how terrifying a giant is! Swallow a person forcibly! If I hadn't reacted faster then dodged The attack of the giants, you might not be able to be born!"

"It's not that I don't want to see it, it's because you didn't let me go." She bent down and gently blew the dust on the table, "I'd be happy to train the corps, and it would be best if I could join the survey corps. See for yourself what a giant that even your father fears looks like."

"Don't even think about it!" Father's face was flushed, and he looked very angry, "Go and wipe the table!"

She pursed her lips, took the rag and went outside the bar to help wipe the table.

Although what her father said was a veteran at best, and a cowardly deserter at worst, she never thought her father's choice was wrong.

She didn't know how terrifying the giants were, and she had never seen them, but she knew from her father's resoluteness in not letting her go to the training regiment that he didn't want her to see this cruel reality, whether it was the military police regiment that could choose to join the preferential treatment Or the garrison regiment, he didn't want her to get involved in that world.

Father loves her, so let her be an ordinary commoner and live an ordinary life until she dies of old age.

However, I still want to know more, what does the giant that even my father fears look like?

When that man comes again, ask him?

Aaliyah smiled smugly.
