Chapter 163 (1/2)

Finally, towards evening, sparrow came panting to the door of his house in the harbor area. Luo Lan, who was just about to go out and hang the oil lamp, found the child fainting on the ground when he opened the door. He's really tired. The old man quickly picked up the sparrow and took it to the sofa in the living room to lie down. In the corner, fergen stretches out his body, and the lumped statue turns into a stone puppet with the characteristics of wolf and bat.

”He is one of his own.” Roland said to fergen. However, the faithful stone statue is not so simple as to believe Roland's words. Naturally, it has its own way to tell whether sparrow is hostile. The statue put its front paws on the sofa, made itself stand up with its hind legs, and scanned the small sparrow fainting on the sofa with the pair of stone eyes. After a long time, it seemed to confirm that sparrow did not have the ability to threaten the safety of the house, fergen returned to the corner and shrank.

While the stone statue was doing these things, Roland had already made a bowl of hot broth from the kitchen. This is the dinner he prepared for himself and cheese. However, since the mage is still upstairs and doesn't know what to do, it is more reasonable to distribute the food to the people in need first.

The smell of the food awakened the tired sparrow. The sparrow opened his eyes with difficulty. When he saw Roland, he knew he was safe at last. For Roland, sparrow knew him. The magic performance of the old man made a big stir in the streets of Wangdu. Even in this period of panic, children would not be as flustered as adults. So when cheese went to ”red blood” for the first time, sparrow went to see Roland after drinking grape juice.

After chatting with the shadow, sparrow also knew that the old man who could make pigeons out of his big hat had a long history with cheese, which made the sparrow regard Roland as a magician like cheese. In children's eyes, the former might be more magical.

At this time, when he woke up and saw the kind-hearted old man, sparrow's inner worry was finally relieved. He took the wooden bowl in Roland's hand, and without thinking of saying thank you, he began to gobble up the broth in the bowl.

Looking at Sparrow's eating, Roland felt a little relieved, but also worried. The good news is that the child doesn't look hurt, he's just too tired. The worry is that Roland also knows that there will be intelligence from ”one eye” this evening. However, the shadow who was assigned to send information did not come. Instead, sparrow came. Without using his rich experience, Roland could imagine that there must have been an accident when the intelligence was transported.

”Here comes the enemy.” Fergen's eyes in the corner began to flash red, and the statue said in an impassioned voice.

The sparrow's hand with the spoon stopped. Although he was surprised by the stone statue's words, it seemed that it was no big deal to think that this was the wizard's residence. What really made sparrow stop was that he knew that the enemies in the mouth of the stone statues might have followed him to find here.

Roland looked at sparrow, who had stopped eating because of his nervousness. The old man touched the head of the sparrow kindly and said.

”Don't be afraid, boy. It's not your fault.”

”The enemy is approaching. Coming into the living room. ” Fergen's voice reminded from the corner.
