Chapter 48

　　This was Lilia's voice, and there was a hint of helplessness in her tone. She had a clear understanding of Rudy's precocity as a child.

　　"Wow!!"

　　The loud crying voice is Aisha.

　　These noises pulled Alan out of his emotions. He crumpled the paper into a ball again, threw it deep into the drawer, stood up, walked out of the house and went downstairs.

　　Downstairs, Senis, who had obviously gained weight after pregnancy, was holding Nolen and preparing to breastfeed. When she saw Alan coming down, she smiled at him.

　　Lilia and Rudy had intended to coax Aisha, but when they saw Alan appear, they ignored Aisha and instead nodded to Alan and turned to take care of Senice.

　　Alan walked over to the stroller amid the crying.

　　Red-haired Aisha was crying in the stroller, but when she saw Alan coming over, she immediately stopped crying and looked at Alan with bright eyes.

　　Alan couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

　　Aisha has been acting strange since she was a baby, but he didn't realize it at first. It happened one after another. Alan found that every time the little girl happened to cry after Norn cried, she would also start crying. Only then did he realize that something was wrong.

　　Then he realized that Aisha did it on purpose.

　　She wasn't crying because she was upset or anything, but because

　　A subconscious choice to "fit in".

　　Nolen cried. As a friend, it was okay for her to cry too, and this would attract the attention of adults.

　　From this point of view, it is not quite appropriate to describe her as quirky. We can only say that Ai Xiatian is born smart, or that she is thoughtful. This is her instinct. She reads people's expressions and responds best to the situation. This is a 'talent' she was born with.

　　Alan looked at Aisha, squinted his eyes and smiled, he leaned over the stroller with his chin in his hand, stretched out his finger and gently touched Aisha's forehead, and spoke softly.

　　"Why, are you bored?"

　　Aisha reached out and touched Alan's fingers, her two little hands trembling up and down.

　　Alan shook his head, picked up a spoon from the stroller, and used the flow secret to control it in his palm, making it fly and jump.

　　Aisha's chubby little face immediately started to smile, her crystal clear eyes like glass balls looked at the spoon for a while, then at Alan's face, looking extremely happy.

　　Alan played with the spoon for a while, then put it away and patted Aisha's head.

　　"Good boy~ Aixia has been smart since she was young~ When you grow up, you should speak up if you have any needs. Don't keep them in your heart~ This is not a good habit~"

　　Aisha was only a few months old, with short red hair that was only the length of a finger joint. She couldn't understand what Alan said, but just held Alan's fingers and made a silly giggle with the up and down tone of a baby.

　　While changing Norn's diaper, Lilia glanced at the scene with a very gentle expression.

　　The snow was still falling outside the window, disrupting the faint conversation coming from inside the house.

　　"Uncle, it's been several days since Uncle Loltz asked him to go out, and he hasn't come back yet?"

　　"No, I heard that there was a riot among the monsters in the forest."

　　——

　　Nightfall.

　　In a certain inn in the royal capital of Xillong.

　　Luo Qixi looked at the moonlight outside the window, half-closed her eyes and looked a little lazy.

　　On the table next to her were many lotus flowers that had been made into bookmarks. Most of them had more or less flaws, and not a single one was intact.

　　Luo Qixi rubbed her sore eyes, helplessly placed all the petals on the book, and closed it.

　　"It's time to go to bed."

　　"I failed to make these bookmarks. I wanted to make a whole flower. But after several months, I only have one perfect bookmark. I don't know if Alan will like it."

　　"Am I really a reckless person?"

　　She blew out the candle on the table, took off her wizard robe and lay down on the bed.

　　Then he took something out from under the pillow and held it in his hand. After a moment, even breathing sounded and Luo Qixi fell asleep.

　　Moonlight poured in through the window like water, illuminating her hands.

　　In his hand was a delicate wooden doll. Although not as delicate as the one Rudy made with clay magic, the panic expression on its face, as if it had done something wrong and was covering its mouth, was very vivid.

　　Luo Qixi clutched the miniature version of herself and fell asleep with her lips pursed.

　　Right now.

　　It was the deep winter of the 413th year of the Jialong calendar.

　　Alan has just turned eleven, Rudy is still six months away from turning seven, and Sylphy is only two months away from turning seven.

　　The tutoring period of the original storyline begins.

　　There is still half a year left.

　　The childhood stage of the original storyline ends.

　　Only half a year left.

　　The book is numb outside and sweet inside, which is a comfort.

　　Here are 5050 words. The extra words were written by the god on the left. If you want more words, please contact him, don't come to me.

　　Not familiar.

　　Thank you very much.

　　(End of this chapter)

Chapter 66: Fate stirs up waves, the monster tide will inevitably arrive early [4637]

　　"Monster Tide??"

　　Alan looked to his side in surprise. Sylphy had her head tucked into her plush collar, sitting on a stool with her legs dangling in the air and swaying slightly. Her eyes met Alan's gaze, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her pointed ears shaking slightly.

　　This winter, Sylphy has been "studying" at the Greyrat home, brought there by Lorz or her mother during the day and taken back at night.

　　In front of her was the book "Monster Ecology and Weaknesses in Fitoya Territory", with many locations marked in small letters and many expanded stories nearby.

　　That was the story of "traveling around the continent" that Lokisi had written down over a week after obtaining Senis's consent in advance. The original intention was to mark it in advance so that she could tell the two kids stories every night, so as to avoid getting stuck suddenly at night and losing her dignity as a teacher.

　　Mama Lan is very serious about teaching.

　　And now, Sylphy has read this book over and over again as an extracurricular reading material on magic, and she likes it very much.

　　"That's what my father said a few days ago. I didn't ask for details, but he didn't look very well."

　　Alan saw that some of her shoulder-length emerald green hair was bunched up by the plush collar. He tucked her collar in and then held his chin with his hand and frowned as he began to think.

　　"The original novel seems to mention such a plot, but it should be when Rudy left Buena Village as a tutor. I remember the specific reason for the monsters to become overactive was..."

　　Thinking of this, Alan's face darkened for a moment.

　　'The summoning magic of the Great Transfer caused the magic power of the entire Fitoya territory to fluctuate too much, which made the monsters active. But I remember that the time when the monsters were in turmoil should be during the tutoring period, not now? Why is this true? '

　　Sylphy's eyes followed the hand that Alan extended and then took away. She held her chin with her hand and looked at Alan's face quietly. Her childish expression actually showed a hint of gentleness that was inconsistent with her age.

　　Just as Rudy said in the letter, she has become a lot quieter in this year. In fact, the main reason is that Alan himself is not a person who likes to chatter. During the period of character formation when children are most easily influenced by others, after spending a long time with Alan, Sylphy naturally began to imitate him subconsciously.

　　Growing children always like to imitate the people they 'admire' and 'desire to be'.

　　As for whether Allen is the former or the latter in her heart.

　　Who can know this?

　　At this time, Rudy, who was looking at the magic book on the side, looked up at Alan's expression with a look of reminiscence.

　　"When Uncle Roltz came to ask for help, I heard their conversation. He said that because of the accident with Uncle Roltz last year, the villagers were afraid of the monster elimination. My father and the rescuer Alan Winter were unable to participate in the monster elimination. They didn't even dare to go too deep into the forest. As a result, even though the net was pushed very deep last year, they were not able to hunt many monsters."

　　Hearing this, Alan looked at Rudy who was blinking.

　　'The follow-up to the extramarital affair led to Paul staying at home for a whole winter to take care of two pregnant women. So it seems that this so-called Warcraft wave is another butterfly effect caused by my behavior unintentionally, but this time it shouldn't have much impact, right?'

　　Senis, who was coaxing the child nearby, looked a little embarrassed and said with guilt.

　　"If I had known, I shouldn't have asked him to stay home and take care of us as promised last year. This delayed the clearing of monsters, which is a big deal."

　　Alan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his eyes passed over his bangs and glanced at Rudy meaningfully.

　　The latter has also grown a lot taller, but his face has not changed much, except from a childish boy's face to a slightly mature teenager's face. After more than a year of getting along with each other, he has already understood what Alan's usual expressions mean. He waved his hand implicitly, indicating that even if Alan didn't urge him, he would take action.

　　He stood up from the table, walked to Senis, made a face at Noren and spoke casually.

　　"Luai~ Clearing out monsters is a big deal in the village, and taking care of pregnant women is a big deal for the Greyrat family, isn't it?"

　　Senis was stunned for a moment, then she burst into laughter, reached out her hand, touched Rudy's head lovingly, and hugged him in her arms.

　　Alan adjusted his glasses, raised his hand and gave Rudy a thumbs-up at the side of the table where Senice couldn't see. The latter showed an expression that it was a trivial matter and winked at the former.

　　This scene was reflected in Sylphy's reddish-brown pupils. She blinked, first looking at Senis who was touching Rudy's hair, then raised her eyes to look at Lilia not far away.

　　The latter did not look at Rudy, but just teased Aisha in the cradle and looked at Alan tenderly.

　　Seeing this, Sylphy blinked her eyelashes rapidly, revealing a very restrained smile of satisfaction, and lowered her head to continue reading the book on the table.

　　Just at this moment.

　　Boom boom boom!

　　There was a knock on the door, quite hurriedly.

　　The four people in the room turned their heads and looked at the door. Lilia stood up and opened the door.

　　The person coming in the snowstorm was a blond elf.

　　Sylphy's father - Lorce.

　　A thick layer of snow had accumulated on the shoulders of his coat. He first nodded apologetically to Lilia, then waved and greeted Senis. Under Lilia's surprised gaze, he closed the door slightly, leaving only a gap the size of a human face to block the wind, snow and cold wind.

　　There was no intention of stepping into the door at all.

　　"Father."

　　Sylphy thought that he was going to take her home. She quickly glanced at Alan and Rudy behind her, closed the monster collection in her hand, jumped off the stool, trotted to the door and whispered.

　　"Father, it's just past noon. Do you want to go home early today?"

　　Roltz looked at Sylphy's long emerald green hair and sighed. Just over a year ago, Sylphy often asked his wife to cut her hair short. Since Alan came, this request has never appeared again. Sylphy even had a smile on her face all day long.

　　Apart from the fact that his smiling face resembles Alan, there is nothing else wrong with him.

　　Roltz nodded, glanced at Alan who was about to come over and extend his hand to greet him, and smiled.

　　"Eren is young, but he is very reliable in every aspect."

　　"Luffy, I'm not here to see you, I'm here to see Alan. There's a shortage of manpower in the forest, and Lord Paul asked me to ask Alan to help. So, please lend him to me for the next few days, and I'll return it to you later."

　　Sylphy's face was gentle when she heard her father's first few words, but when she heard the last sentence, her eyes suddenly widened, and she hurriedly raised her hands in front of Luo Erz in panic, waving them together, as if blocking his sight. Luo Erz grabbed Sylphy's hand, and looked at Sylphy, who suddenly panicked and returned to her last year's appearance, with a funny look.

　　At this time, Allen had already walked to the door with a knife in his hand, followed by Rudy.

　　".Sorry to bother you, Alan."

　　Alan smiled nonchalantly.

　　"It should be."

　　Roltz nodded, squatted down and hugged Sylphy, who realized that Alan had walked to her side and her hands were frozen in the air.

　　"Luffy, please ask Rudy to take you back today. We should spend the night in the forest."

　　"It's okay. Let Sylphy and Rudy come along. If we're dealing with a wave of monsters, a magician's AOE, uh, large-scale magic will probably be faster than us killing them one by one with swords and bows, right?"

　　As Allen spoke, he casually touched Sylphy's head and glanced at Rudy who had a frightened expression behind him.

　　'Isn't it unreasonable to not have PVE in the map? And Sylphy is obviously very interested in new things. She reads the monster book every day. She should be very interested in monsters. It's not a bad opportunity to take them to see the world. One of them is a senior magician and the other is a saint-level magician. Now that they have experience, they will surely have a little more safety after the big transfer, especially the scene where Sylphy landed. It was a bit too thrilling.'

　　Sylphy came out of her daze when she heard this. She lowered her head and first glanced at the "storybook" in her arms, then looked up at Alan, only to find that the latter blinked at her.

　　Rudy scratched his head.

　　"Um, is it really okay for Sylphy and I to go? There's a monster tide there. It's okay to listen to the teacher, but it would be a bit reckless to really face it. And we have to spend the night outside. Although I think it's nice to stay with you guys at night, it feels like the days when the teacher comes back, but it won't be very convenient, ouch! Sylphy, why are you stepping on me?"

　　"I'm sorry Rudy, my feet were numb and I wanted to move them around, but I accidentally stepped on you."

　　"Huh? But I'm far away from your legs. How can you step on my feet by stomping your feet in place? Ouch!"

　　".Look, you can step on it."

　　"???"
