"Is this child injured?"
An old man watching from under the eaves quickly ca to this conclusion.
Realizing this, the old man, who was the town mayor Mashilov, imdiately showed a worried expression and hurriedly got up.
"Hey!!!"
Led by the mayor, the villagers braved the snowstorm and quickly ca forward, wrapping the warm animal skin coat around the girl. After noticing the girl’s wounds under her thin clothes, Mashilov’s brows furrowed deeply.
"Girl! What happened to you?! Hey, girl! Were you attacked by bandits?"
However,
Facing the old mayor’s questions, the girl was too weak to respond.
Almost at the sa mont, the girl’s ntal strength reached its limit, and she eventually collapsed in front of the villagers.
Seeing this, Mashilov made a decisive decision and turned to a few old n over seventy:
"Quick! Take the child inside the house!"
’Why did this girl appear here in the middle of the night, and in such a wounded state?’
Mayor Mashilov and the townspeople couldn’t help but ponder over this question.
--
Of course, at that ti, the people of Swieport Town could never have dread that the girl they had rescued was the chosen one prophesied by the Church to save the world.
Yes, this disheveled and miserable girl was ngxi from the past.
At that ti, ngxi had just arrived to this world.
Upon awakening from unconsciousness, the girl’s mind was a blank slate. She didn’t know who she was, what she should do, and was completely ignorant of her surroundings.
Driven by instinct, she made her way out of the underground palace ruins where she had awakened. Her only simple goal at that ti was to find so food and water.
However,
Her luck did not seem to be on her side.
Soon after leaving the ruins, the girl encountered a group of greedy bandits. The bandits, who were already attacking adventurers, quickly turned their attention to ngxi. Upon seeing such a beautiful girl, an unprecedented and powerful greed instantly overtook the hearts of these desperados.
In an instant, these bandits charged at the girl like wolves.
Sensing their vile desires and the threat they posed, ngxi naturally would not sit and wait for death. She imdiately turned and fled into the woods, with the bandits in hot pursuit.
Although she eventually escaped the clutches of the bandits thanks to her strong will to survive and her impressive physical, her body was severely damaged by the bandits’ magical bombardnt.
Dragging her exhausted body, the girl continued to wander aimlessly along the border of Snow Night Empire.
However, her luck continued to be poor in the following days.
Not only was she frequently harassed by magical beasts, but she was also targeted by border slave traders and mbers of the Divine Punishnt Sect.
The initial bandits, still relentless, crazily pursued the girl.
Driven by fear and the will to survive, the girl, with her battered body, embarked on her desperate journey.
After a week of narrow escapes from death and hardship, the girl, both physically and spiritually at her limit, finally arrived at this small town in a dazed and staggering state...
—
Ti passed unknowingly, and the girl in a coma gradually regained consciousness, enduring the pain in her body and slowly opening her eyes. As her vision beca clearer, the figure of an old man gradually erged in ngxi’s eyes.
He was an elderly man dressed in a worn leather coat, with white hair and looking very frail, already past the age of seventy.
"Girl, you’re awake? How are you feeling? Is your body feeling better?"
Seeing the girl awake, Mayor Mashilov, who was preparing herbs, imdiately showed joy and hurriedly inquired.
As the old man spoke, a few weathered-looking won nearby also approached the girl, expressing their concern.
"Don’t be afraid, we’re not bad people."
"You, little sister, what happened to you? Wearing so little in such cold weather?"
"Poor child, does your wound still hurt?"
...
...
However,
Facing everyone’s concern, the silver-haired girl looked as if she was facing a great enemy. She wrapped herself in the blanket and curled up in the corner, warily scanning the people around her.
Since everyone she had t after waking up had shown either hostility or greed towards her, the silver-haired girl found it hard to trust these strangers, even though they looked completely different from the previous bandits. More importantly, the girl couldn’t understand the language of this world...
The unknown often leads to unease.
What exactly did this group of people, who kept whispering in front of her, want to do to her?
The girl bit her lip, nervously and guardedly watching everyone.
The little remaining silver-white energy quietly gathered in the girl’s palm, ready to deal with any potential mishaps.
’Sigh, this girl seems to think of us as bad people’
Mayor Mashilov gave a bitter smile.
As the mayor, he quickly realized the girl’s inner unease and the language barrier between them. Although it was unclear why soone would not understand the common language of the continent today, the old man quickly accepted the fact and tried to communicate with the silver-haired girl using hand gestures, attempting to ease her wariness.
-"Girl, don’t worry, we won’t hurt you..."-
Mayor Mashilov, as if finding the feeling of coaxing his granddaughter in the past, gestured with his hands and feet, trying his best to express his intentions.
The few elderly won nearby, and the uncles who ca in later to watch, quickly imitated, vigorously waving their hands, showing their harmless nature, trying to convince the girl to trust them.
Although they had no basis in sign language and the coordination was poor, making the scene quite chaotic, after so clumsy attempts, the atmosphere in the room beca livelier.
...
Gradually, the girl seed to feel the kindness of the elderly people. The doubt and unease in her eyes were replaced with a cautious curiosity as she slowly peeked out and looked around.
Seeing this, Mayor Mashilov nodded slightly, showing a gentle and warm smile. His smile was filled with a sense of relief.
At the sa ti, to show his goodwill, Mayor Mashilov brought a bowl of hot, steaming soup, carefully prepared by the townspeople, to the girl. He made a gesture of ’please’ to her.
The silver-haired girl, who was extrely hungry, saw that these elderly people not only did not harm her but also clothed her warmly and even prepared delicious food. She slightly lowered her guard.
The next mont, under the friendly gaze of the townspeople, the girl slowly reached out, took the soup from Mayor Mashilov, and began to eat ravenously, even sticking out her tongue when it was too hot...
...
Thereafter, due to her still precarious health, the girl had to continue resting and recuperating. Although she still had so doubts about the townspeople, these lingering suspicions gradually dissipated under their ticulous care and attention.
Watching the enthusiastic, gentle treatnt from the elderly n and won and the curious, always smiling children around her, the girl finally felt at ease.
’They... are good people’
The townspeople showed nothing but kindness towards the girl.
As the town was located on the border of the Snow Night Empire, near the Red Leaf Empire, and with continuous conflicts between the two empires, nearly all the young n in the town had been conscripted into the army by the border Marquis, sent to the battlefield. The strength of such a remote town was already limited, and those conscripted were mainly used as cannon fodder...
The fate of cannon fodder is predictable.
In the past decade, the young n who went to battle never returned, leaving behind a town of elderly, weak, and disabled, clinging to ’faint’ hopes. It’s safe to say that every household in Swieport Town had lost a child.
The girl’s age was similar to that of their children when they left, which inadvertently made the town’s elderly see her as a kind of solace. Already inclined to help others, they showed even more ticulous care for the girl.
At the sa ti, the unique aura of the girl also made the townspeople feel a subconscious increase in their affection towards her. The people of Swieport Town were quite welcoming of the girl’s arrival.
Thus, this ordinary little town beca the first place of refuge for ngxi after her arrival on this world.
