003 The girl who will prophesy
"God, Daren! How did you know in advance that the horns were glued on?!"
On the way home, Gene shouted excitedly, "I followed your instructions and shot the horns off with an arrow. Did you not notice Hans's face? It was exposed on the spot, blushing like a piece of red iron! He ran back to the blacksmith shop in shame... He lost his face twice in a row today, and he didn't dare to come out and be arrogant again in the next half month!"
"Um……"
The brunette boy barely squeezed out a smile.
If it were the past, Dell would probably be happy to share the joy of his partner and laugh heartlessly together.
After all, after so many matches with Hans, Daren has suffered losses and been beaten, and the two are old rivals... And Hans does often bully his peers. It is of course a pleasant thing to be a guy who is usually arrogant and occasionally loses his grief.
However, what happened at the training ground this afternoon made Daren a little uninterested.
[You don’t have the talent of a warrior at all! Your mentality is destined to be impossible to become a real warrior in this life!]
Intermediate warrior Orwell's words still echoed in his heart.
"Jen, I'm a little tired. Let's go home first. See you tomorrow." Deren rubbed his eyes and waved goodbye.
...
There is a very ordinary cottage to the west of the village, which is exactly Delan's home.
When the white chimney came into view, a sweet girl's voice drifted in the wind, humming a faint song:
“Yali ~
Ilayi ~
The flames at the bottom of the pot are quietly ignited
Gurgling hot air
Cache
Dilissi's Points
Vakukka's Glitter
The leaves under the moon are singing
The beetle in the soil is lame
Come on, come on, come on...
All jumped into the soup pot
Yilai, Yilai~~
Children by the stove should not be naughty
Drink my mother-in-law's delicious soup
Go to sleep well..."
Daren's face became a little weird. He tiptoed to the door and saw that there was a strong charcoal fire in the fireplace. His sister Enid was tiptoing to throw all kinds of unknown things into the large soup pot where he cooked, and stirring it constantly with a very long spoon...
On the other side, a kind white-haired woman was sitting on a lounge chair with her eyes closed, groping with her hands to sew an old dress.
"Cough cough..." Deren coughed twice, declaring his existence.
"Dalen? Are you back so early today?" The girl turned around suddenly, and her hand behind her back quietly spilled the remaining "ingredients" into the soup pot, and then quietly moved the lid over to block the soup pot.
At this time, we can see that Enid is a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with long light flax hair and a white turban usually used by housewives. She has a very ordinary appearance and a little freckle on her cheeks. However, her bright black pupils are very eye-catching - black eyes are not common in Urenos.
"Dalen, you're back." The white-haired woman also smiled, closed her eyes and groped forward, "Come on, try the pants I've made up for you."
"Mother." Daren hurriedly went up and held his mother Diana's hand, "I still have pants to wear. Why did you sew it for me again? You can't see anything? If you get it... Enid, you won't stop me." After that, he glared at the girl.
"She won't get it." Enid said confidently.
The sentence "..." made Daren speechless.
Because he knew that what Enid said would not happen would definitely not happen.
This is her talent.
——————————
Daren still remembers how he met Enid three years ago - it was in the dark valley in the north.
When I was picking herbs at that time, I heard the movement behind the bushes. At first I thought it was a rabbit and went over to see it. Unexpectedly, a embarrassed little girl rushed out of the grass and collided with me! And behind her, a group of lost monsters were chasing!
Terrible monster!
At that time, Daren, who was not even a warrior apprentice, certainly would not be the opponent of a group of heartless goblin assassins and heartless little fairy archers. Fortunately, there was a shield that never left her body to protect the two of them and barely escaped back to the village. In order to use the shield to protect the little girl who looked too frightened, Daren was shot in the knee.
What happened next is even more outrageous:
"You saved me..."
"Obviously, that's the case." Deren looked at the arrow on his knee with some worries, and the wound seemed to be a little black... Maybe the arrow was poisonous?
"Thank you, I'll follow you from now on."
Snap!
The arrow was pulled down by Dellen.
"Hiss...wait!" Deren took a breath, pressed his wound, and looked at the little girl in torn linen clothes in shock: "What do you mean? Why don't you go home?"
"My name is Enid...I don't remember anything, including my family." The girl's eyes were a little confused, "You saved my life, so I'll follow you and be your follower."
"Hey, don't be so sloppy... I'm not even a trainee adventurer yet, so where do I need any followers."
"I don't have money to eat..."
"You can do whatever you want, there are many places here that require manpower."
“I’m homeless and have no relatives.”
"Then you can't follow me. I'll take you to see the village chief. Grandpa Nord can find a couple to adopt you..."
"I can still do magic..."
"!! Then why didn't you say it earlier?!" Daren almost jumped up, but immediately sat down again due to a knee injury. "Are you a magician? Then why didn't you use it just now? I won't have to be injured..."
"It's just that there is no combat power to predict the prophecy, it's useless..."
"You know it's useless... OK, okay, I won't..."
"Be careful, you will leave sequelae." Enid suddenly interrupted him, and his dark pupils looked at Deren's knees, and said with a very firm tone, "This is the poison of the tree fairy, which will leave disability! I can help you cook detoxification medicine and drink it for a month, so there will be no problems."
"Really, really…?" Daren was startled!
He is a person who is determined to become an adventurer, and if the knees leave sequelae, it will be completely over.
The scared little warrior quickly agreed to Enid's suggestion.
But I didn't notice a sly smile on the corner of the latter's mouth.

"Crazy la la la la la la la..."
Daren did not worry about his pants anymore, but quickly picked up a thick kraft book from the closet and flipped it quickly - it was a mainland travel notes left by his father, skipping the useless adventure stories, he quickly turned to the last page, looking at the lines of words and dazed:
"Never put down your shield!"
This is the most common saying my father said when he was alive, and it has also become Daren's training creed forever.
But today, the brunette boy's eyes flashed a little.
"Enid, do you think a powerful warrior really doesn't need a shield?" After a long silence, Daren suddenly looked at the girl who was slowly feeding Diana's soup, "If I choose to be a shield warrior like my father, would I really not be destined to be a powerful adventurer?"
There was a bright hope in the boy's eyes flashing - if Enid said he could, then it would be fine!
Just like she quietly told herself the secret about Little Hans' Viking helmet yesterday... At the same time, just like she told herself the details of the battle so many times in the past, she always turned defeat into victory "very coincidentally" in the duels with Hans...
"Sorry, Daren, I can't see anything so far away."
The flax-haired girl stared at Deren with her dark eyes for a while, then pouted and shook her head.
"Okay, I know." Daren sighed helplessly and closed the thick travel notes, "You can only see things in a few days... and it's still very effective."
"But don't be depressed, I have a feeling that you will become a very powerful person!" Enid did not stare at Deren again this time, but ran to the soup pot to serve a bowl of soup, and quickly brought it to him, "Give it."
The brunette boy opened his eyes wide in surprise.
Chapter completed!
