Chapter 182
Chapter 182
The appearance of the treasure goblin delayed them on the way, and it was already evening when they returned to Brooks City.
Irina handed over the distribution of the treasure goblin's harvest to Elina and the others. Although it was tempting, he had no intention of taking it all for himself.
Back in front of the familiar church, Irina took a deep breath. Sure enough, no matter what, her own one-third acre of land was the most suitable for her.
Walking into the church, the dim candlelight attracted Irina's attention. Sister Weiwei was sitting on a bench reading a book.
Her little face frowned, trying her best to understand the contents of the book, but it was a very difficult thing for her.
When Irina was away, Weiwei had been working hard. She didn't want to be left behind for too long. She wanted to stay with her good brother as an equal.
Looking at Weiwei who was so serious, Irina couldn't bear to disturb her, but he couldn't just keep watching her like this, right? No matter how reluctant he was, he had to greet her loudly.
"Sister Weiwei, I'm back."
Elena called out as softly as possible. Upon hearing the voice, Weiwei immediately put down the old book in her hand. Her tense little face instantly broke into a smile, and she welcomed him in an impatient tone.
"Welcome back, Elena. Are you hungry?"
He trotted to Elena's front, not giving Elena the chance to come in by himself. He clasped his hands tightly and led him into the church.
The two sat on the bench, and Weiwei kept closing the distance between them. If this continued, Elena would only be able to sit on the other's lap.
"Sister Weiwei, why don't you go to bed so late? Staring at the firelight to read is very harmful to your eyes."
Weiwei's enthusiasm made Elena a little embarrassed, and she quickly changed the subject to ease the embarrassment in her heart.
At the same time, he was really worried about Weiwei's living conditions. Not going to bed and staring at the book at night would have a great impact on her eyesight.
Elena, who is more concerned about shooting, attaches great importance to vision. He doesn't want his gentle and beautiful sister Weiwei to wear glasses at such a young age.
Even if she is really nearsighted, it can be cured by relying on the magic of this world.
"I can't sleep if you don't come back, so I thought I couldn't waste time so I read a book. It's better than lying in bed and dazed."
Weiwei said calmly, but her words made Elena feel distressed.
Looking at the days when he was away from home these days, Weiwei mostly spent the night like this, reading alone and looking at the dark scenery outside the window from time to time, wondering if the person he missed would come back now.
"Find time to buy a magic lantern later. Using magic cores as fuel is much brighter than these candles, and it will be less burdensome to the eyes."
Elena knew that he couldn't persuade Weiwei. If he would have such days of not coming home at night in the future, this situation would probably happen again.
The only thing he could do was to avoid going out as much as possible and improve the material conditions of the family, so that Weiwei would not have to study in such a difficult environment.
"Let's not talk about this. How are you doing, Elena? Is everything going well?"
As soon as Elena mentioned that she would spend money on her, Weiwei immediately changed the subject. She could give a lot for Elena, but if she did something for herself, she would always feel that it was not worth it.
"...It went very smoothly. I have obtained the identity card of the silver adventurer, and I also have the professional certificate of the senior priest in my hands."
Elena certainly knew that Weiwei had a somewhat morbid spirit of giving, but he also knew that persuasion alone was useless.
He simply stopped arguing with Weiwei about this matter, and took out his identity card and professional certificate that he had just received from his arms.
The pure silver adventure card and the gold-plated flower and scepter pattern pendant made of special metal, Elena handed these things to Weiwei.
The latter took it very carefully, and gently stroked it with her white and slender fingers. She couldn't help showing a happy expression on her face, as if she had won these honors.
"You are really worthy of my Elena. You have really made progress. Sister Weiwei, I am very proud of you."
Weiwei said encouragingly, and subconsciously reached out to rub Elena's head.
This made Elena feel very strange, as if she was still being treated as a child. Although he was very uncomfortable, he did not resist. Everything was still based on obedience to Weiwei. Who made him so lonely during this period of time?
After handing the things to Weiwei to look at, Elena also briefly described what happened in the past few days.
A maze city full of unique culture, full of the wonderful maze of minotaurs and the scarred adventurers who could never be cured in the clinic.
Of course, in order not to worry Vivi, Elena told the story as much as possible, which seemed to be not dangerous at first.
As a listener, Vivi was very yearning. She had stayed in this dilapidated old church almost all her life, and to be honest, she had not been exposed to the outside world much.
Now that she heard Elena telling all kinds of interesting stories, it was hard for her not to imagine what it would be like if she were the protagonist of the story.
Elena also noticed the opposite of his sister Vivi, and was a little at a loss for a while. As far as his personal selfishness was concerned, he still hoped that Vivi could stay at home well. No matter how poor it was, it was much safer here than the complicated and dangerous world outside.
Not long after thinking about this, Elena shook his head vigorously. Aren’t his thoughts now similar to those of sister Vivi at the beginning?
They both treated each other like fragile flowers and protected them from the erosion of heavy rain, but they didn't know that they couldn't even let the other party receive the warm sunshine, and they didn't even have a chance to thrive.
At this moment, Elena changed her mind. Weiwei was not an ordinary person but a saint who accepted the mysterious God of Light. Her future should not be confined to such a dilapidated church. There was a wider sky for her to explore.
Elena thought of Freya College in an instant, but after thinking about it, he shook his head. There was no way to let Weiwei enroll as a student, and it was not appropriate to ask Elena to use some backdoors.
"That Elena... We should sleep together tonight, right?"
Elena was still struggling with Weiwei's future, but Weiwei herself said shyly, holding Elena's palm tightly with both hands, as if she didn't want to let go for a moment.
"Look, Xiaobai has fallen asleep. If you go back to her room now, you might wake her up. Why don't you sleep over at my place tonight?"
Weiwei couldn't wait for Elena to answer, so she pulled his hands and walked towards her room. It was obvious that Weiwei had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
