Isabella walked over, took the photo and said with a grin, "If you want to see it, just tell me directly. /Hong'te¢Xiao\said, net? 'First/post?"
She sat down next to Lilith, "Are you jealous? When dad takes me back to Backlund, I will take more photos. Then I will take you guys with me!"
"…Okay~"
Lilith hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Isabella...I seemed to have seen the man in the photo yesterday, no, the day before yesterday."
"…"
Isabella's pupils shrank, and then she laughed, "How is that possible! My father is clearly in Backlund, how could you possibly see him here?"
"real."
Lilith said anxiously, "I can't be wrong! Maybe your father has come back!"
"impossible!"
"Really...why don't you go and take a look? If I made a mistake, I'll apologize to you. If it's true, he must be very anxious if he can't find you!"
"I said it's impossible!"
Isabella raised her voice a little, startling Lilith.
She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Lilith, I... I just don't want to waste time, and dad said that he would come to see me the first time he comes back from Backlund! So, you must have seen it wrong!"
"…"
She grabbed Lilith's hand and walked out, "Come on, you must be hungry, let's eat something."
The two walked into the living room, where plates were placed at each person's seat. The other three were distributing the food. Due to the huge amount of money earned yesterday, today's food was much more sumptuous than the night Lilith came.
There was charred toasted bread, shiny fried sausages, and a small bowl of meat and vegetable soup for each person. The house was filled with the aroma of food.
Isabella picked up the meat and vegetable soup and said, "Thanks to Lilith, we can eat such delicious food!"
The others followed suit and served the soup, "Thank you Lilith."
Lilith smiled innocently: "You're welcome~ I'm a real witch. By the way, if you have any wishes, just tell me and I will help you realize them!"
Isabella shook her head: "No, we are very happy as we are now. +Qi¢Sheng_Xiao¢Said*Wang¢ ~首-发?"
"That's right! We can't let Lilith use witchcraft to fulfill our wishes. It would be dangerous if she was discovered."
"We have to realize our dreams through our own efforts."
"Our days will definitely get better and better!"
"Yes!"
For a moment, the house was filled with the laughter of children.
Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard from outside, and then two figures rushed into the room, and then hurriedly propped the door shut with their backs.
The people who came in were the fat pharmacist Darkwell and his teacher Roy King.
Just as the master and disciple were about to breathe a sigh of relief, they suddenly felt that they were being watched. When they looked up, they saw five half-grown children sitting at the dining table, staring at them blankly.
They had different expressions, some were confused, some were afraid, and some were angry.
"That...that kid is looking at me!"
At this time, the owl on Darkwill's shoulder whispered in a voice that only he could hear. The fat pharmacist looked over and found that one of the children, Lilith, was looking at his owl.
The look in his eyes was a little strange, as if... he had seen through its identity as an extraordinary creature.
Isabella stood up at this time and said in a relatively calm tone: "Gentlemen, why did you break into our home?"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the other three children immediately glared at her fiercely.
"Your home?"
The fat pharmacist was stunned. Isn't this an abandoned house?
Just as he was about to speak, Roy King said, "Sorry, we'll be leaving soon."
After saying that, he pulled the door to go out - and then he pulled the whole door down. He hurriedly tried to push the door back, but the whole door frame fell down again. /First, first* read~book? Wang! ~ Chase? 蕞\ 譆/ 璋 + 踕`
Darkwill was stunned. Teacher, isn't it a bit too much for you to tear down someone's door just because you disagree with me?
"Crack, crack…"
At this moment, tiny cracking sounds were heard from the walls around the door.
The owl no longer cared about anything else. It flapped its wings and shouted, "Get out! This place is going to collapse!"
The master and the disciple looked at each other, and without hesitation, they rushed towards the confused children, and then grabbed one with each hand. However, there were five children at the scene, and the two of them could not catch them all with four hands.
Boom!
At this time, the house began to collapse from the door, and the walls, roof, beams and bricks all fell towards where the few people were. "You get out first!"
Roy King shouted, and clamped the skinny Alisa under his armpit, and was about to pull the remaining Lilith, but he didn't expect that the other party would easily dodge.
Roy King was immediately shocked. He was the winner of Sequence 5. Don't think that the Path of Destiny was just about luck. Its Sequence 9 monsters and Sequence 8 machines could all improve physical fitness. How could it not be able to catch a child?
boom!
A large piece of the roof collapsed and fell down. Roy King could no longer care about Lilith. He had to turn around and run outside. He rushed out at the last second before the roof fell and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, thick dust gushed out as the house collapsed, covering the surroundings.
But Roy King didn't care about all this. He left his two children behind and ran back frantically. However, all he saw was a pile of ruins made of bricks, stones and wood - the child was buried underneath!
Roy King was instantly overwhelmed by a strong sense of self-blame and guilt. He frantically moved the bricks and wood and dug the rubble with his hands. It was all my fault. If I hadn't brought Darkwill here, these children could have enjoyed their lunch safely. But now...
"Teacher, teacher!"
At this time, Darkwill's voice came, "Teacher, that child, she is fine."
"What?"
Roy King was stunned and looked back, and found that the child had appeared next to the other children at some point and was helping them up from the ground one by one.
When did she run away?
"Are you all right?"
Lilith asked, looking at the other four children.
They just stared blankly at the ruins not far away. Soon, Alisa, who was the most introverted, started to sob, and her crying made the two boys cry too.
Only Isabella stared straight ahead with her pupils motionless.
At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: our home... is gone.
The home that looked shabby but had provided shelter for me for many years is gone.
Chapter 438 Dice
Isabella never thought that she and Alisa were street children, because she felt that they had their own home. How could children with a home be street children?
But now my home is gone...
"Isabella, are you okay?"
Lilith leaned over and asked quietly.
"…"
Her eyes then slightly rippled, and she regained her vitality. She wiped her eyes and smiled, "Don't cry! I've long felt that this place is too shabby and uncomfortable to live in. I've long wanted to move to a new place."
Isabella looked at Roy King and Darkwill and said, "Thank you for saving us, gentlemen."
Isabella certainly didn't think that Roy King could collapse the house by opening a door - maybe there was some connection, but it meant that the house would collapse sooner or later, and if it collapsed at night when everyone was sleeping, then everyone would be buried.
Instead of being blamed, they were thanked, which made the master and disciple feel even more guilty. However, they didn't know how to make amends for a moment - after all, they could hardly protect themselves now, and if they didn't leave quickly, who knew what kind of disaster they would bring to these children?
But, are you really just going to walk away like this?
"Darkwill, do you have money?"
The fat pharmacist dug into his pocket and took out a few soli bills after a long while. "That's all I have. What about you, teacher?"
"…"
I shouldn't have bought that bottle of Sonia blood wine!
If it weren't for that dice, I could easily earn one or two hundred pounds by going to the casino, which should be enough to compensate these children.
I can only wait until I give the dice to the teacher and then come back to compensate him.
Giving Darkwill a look, he awkwardly stepped forward and stuffed the few soles into Isabella's pocket. "This money... is used to compensate for the door."
"Thanks."
Isabella didn't bother to be polite with him. She took the money and said to the three children who were still sobbing, "Okay, stop crying. Let's go and see if there is anything we can take away. Let's go."
Several children then walked towards the ruins and began to search.
"Let's go too."
Roy King looked at Lilith strangely again, patted Darkwill, and walked away.
"Teacher, are we just leaving like this?"
"I'll wait until I give the things to my teacher, then come back and find a way to compensate them. Staying here will only cause trouble for them." After a pause, he said, "By the way, did you see how that girl came out just now?"
"ah?"
Darkwill was stunned. "Didn't you rescue him?"
"...never mind."
As they were talking, the two of them walked away from the house and just as they turned onto a main road, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps from several directions, and their faces changed at the same time.
Darkwill turned around and was about to run back, but Roy King grabbed him and took out the jewelry box containing the dice and stuffed it into the owl's claws, "Take it and go."
"Huh?"
The owl looked at Darkwill blankly.
"Listen to the teacher and go!"
"…Take care, I will miss you."
The owl left a word and flapped its wings desperately to fly back.
"What are you missing? If you can't speak, don't say it!"
Darkwill snorted angrily.
At this time, several teams of Loen soldiers appeared from three directions and surrounded them. The leader was Admiral Amyrius's secretary Lu Er'an. He smiled coldly and said, "Finally found you."
...
On the other side, the owl Mr. Harry flapped his wings desperately to return the same way he came, and soon returned to the collapsed ruins. While flying, he kept looking back, fearing that those people would catch up with him.
Just then, it felt the jewelry box in its claws vibrate. It subconsciously looked down, and when it looked up again, a tree trunk suddenly appeared in front of it, and then it ran straight into it.
Bang.
Lilith was searching through the ruins with Isabella and the others. Nothing else mattered except the photo of Isabella!
Ah, found it!
She had just carefully taken out the photo when she heard a bang. She turned around and saw an owl falling straight to the ground with its eyes bulging. A small jewelry box fell not far away.
Huh?
Isn't this the owl on the fat guy's shoulder?
Lilith clapped her hands and walked over, grabbed one of the owl's claws and lifted it upside down.
"Hello!"
She shook it vigorously, "What's wrong with you?"
Mr. Harry was shaken by her and suddenly woke up, but found himself falling in mid-air, and a guy who looked like a human but gave him a very dangerous feeling was looking at him.
It subconsciously shrank its head and pretended that it could not speak: "Gugu.\0,0/暁~税`茫. `埂.薪+最*全·"
Isabella came over at this time and asked in surprise: "Lilith, is this the owl you just caught? I haven't eaten it yet... What about the owl? Is it roasted too?"
"!!!"
Mr. Harry immediately struggled, "Don't eat me, don't eat me! Mr. Harry's meat is not tasty!"
Isabella was immediately startled when it spoke: "The owl...speaks!"
"Where's the box? Where's that box?"
Mr. Harry then discovered that his jewelry box was missing and started looking for it everywhere.
Isabella looked down and saw the exquisite jewelry box, so she picked it up and asked, "Are you looking for this?"
"Don't touch it! It's dangerous!"
Isabella was quite obedient and let go without hesitation.
"Don't drop it...ah, it's over!"
Mr. Harry closed his eyes in despair.
Lilith caught the jewelry box casually, "You can't touch it, and you can't throw it away. It's so strange."
As she spoke, she handed the owl to Isabella, and opened the jewelry box with her free hands. Inside, she saw a dice lying quietly with five small black dots on it.
"Five o'clock!"
Mr. Harry's whole body went limp as if he had come back to life.
"What's this?"
Lilith asked, poking the dice in the jewelry box with her finger.
Mr. Harry immediately shouted again in panic: "Don't touch it!"
But after Lilith poked the dice, it rolled over and over and finally stopped on 5.
Isabella said, "It's a dice."
"What is it?"
"that is..."
Isabella suddenly didn't know how to explain, "It's a thing used in gambling. It's not a good thing anyway!"
"Oh. Lan! Lan ¢ Wen-Xu- / Shou+Fa?"
Lilith nodded, then looked at the owl and asked, "Are you afraid of this...dice?"
"…It, it has some kind of curse that will bring bad luck to those around it."
"So it's a seal that brings bad luck?"
Mr. Harry glared, "How do you know..."
Before it could finish, Lilith raised the jewelry box and was about to throw it away, "Then throw it away."
"Wait! There are 5 dots on it now. It won't bring bad luck for now, it will only bring good luck!"
Lilith paused in throwing the things and took the jewelry box back. "What is a curse and what is good luck?"
"…3 points and below is bad luck, and above 3 points is good luck."
Lilith snapped her fingers, "I understand, Isabella, let it go."
Although Isabella didn't know what Lilith meant by what she said to the owl, she knew that Lilith was skilled in witchcraft and might be the legendary witch, so she trusted her very much in this regard. So she gently let go of the owl and let it fall straight to the ground.
Fortunately, it flapped its wings and flew up shakily just before landing, but it looked confused: "Let me go?"
"Otherwise, do you really want to be roasted?"
"…Then, give the dice back to me."
"What dice?"
Lilith looked confused.
Mr. Harry said anxiously, "It's the one in the jewelry box just now...the one that shows 5."
"I didn't see it."
Lilith opened her hands and said, "There's nothing."
"Impossible, it was in your hand just now, how could it be possible..."
Mr. Harry suddenly reacted and turned on the audience mode, "You, you just don't want to return the dice to me, right!"
Lilith shook her head, "Ms. Lilith, I don't know what you are talking about."
After that, she took Isabella's hand and said, "Let's go, Isabella."
"Oh, then it..."
"Don't worry about it, unless you really want to eat roasted owl."
"No! No! Thanks!" She could roast an ordinary owl, but she wouldn't dare to roast a talking owl. In many fairy tales, these talking animals were transformed from humans!
Seeing Lilith and the others walking away, Mr. Harry was unhappy and hurriedly flapped his wings to chase after them, "Give me back the dice!"
"Give me back the dice!"
"dice!"
The owl's loud cry immediately attracted the attention of the other three children. After a moment of confusion, Alisa whispered, "This parrot is so ugly!"
"Mr. Harry is an owl!"
Mr. Harry turned his head and shouted, then repeated to Lilith over and over again: "Dice, dice, give me back the dice."
"Lilith, what is this parrot saying?"
"It's an owl!"
Lilith waved her hands. "Never mind it. By the way, Isabella, your photo..."
Isabella waved her hand, "No! It's already very old anyway, I can just take a new photo when Dad comes to pick me up!"
"Ah, is that so?"
Soon, a group of children carried away the things they had dug out from the ruins, and Mr. Harry followed behind them, flapping his wings and muttering to himself.
Mr. Harry didn't shut up until they came to the busy street, but he still followed the children silently.
"Where are we going, Isabella?"
The three children were lost and confused again. Isabella thought for a moment and said, "Today... I'll take you to a hotel! The beds there are super soft and comfortable, and you can even take a shower! I'm sure you've never stayed there before!"
"After today, we will look for a new place to live! We will definitely find a better place than before! Don't worry, I will never let you be homeless!"
"Okay~"
After listening to her description, the children couldn't help but feel more excited.
Not long after the children left, two figures appeared on the ruins. One was Zatwin, the demigod of the Rose School, and the other was Enzo, who defected from the School of Life to the Rose School.
"Enzo, are you sure Roy King is here?"
"Yes, Master Zartwin, at least... they were here not long ago."
Zatwin frowned. "What about that thing?"
"this..."
"Forget it. That's not the goal of this operation anyway."
Zatwin hummed, "Prepare the sacrifice. I need to report to Lord Suea."
Chapter 439 What Does Isabella Want?
With nothing to do in the afternoon, Edward gave another two-hour online class to the believers in the Rorsted Islands.
After several days of continuous classes, Edward's potion was being digested steadily, and the day of his next return to the Harry Potter world was getting closer.
"I almost forgot that I have to go to Bernadette's Emerald City before returning."
He then wrote a letter and asked Phoenix to deliver it, telling Bernadette that he would keep the appointment in two days. If nothing unexpected happened, the potion should have been completely digested by then.
After being promoted to a Sequence 4 demigod, one's spirituality will be greatly enhanced. At that time, one can try to directly absorb the abilities of Sequence 2 or even Sequence 1. This is definitely an epic enhancement!
