Raising Octopus Juvenile

Cecil and Lena go to the atrium to meet Renault, and Lannie is like a little tail, following behind him step by step.

Originally, he didn't want him to appear in front of Renault, but Lenny had to follow everything he said, and solemnly emphasized that "Cecile can't do without me."

Lena snickered and looked at Cecil: "Is what he said is true, sister?"

Cecil replied calmly: "It's true. I will die if Lanney is not here."

Lina heard the words, the smile on her face disappeared, and her expression dimmed for a moment.

"Sister...Don't say such terrible things easily."

"...I'm sorry." Cecil was stunned, raised his hand guiltily, and gently rubbed Lena's bright blonde hair.

In her heart, death has become insignificant. She doesn't care when she will die, because she believes that, whether it is death or life, Lanny will find her somewhere.

So she can say such things nonchalantly, but...

Cecil stared at Lena's sad profile, and suddenly realized that he seemed a little selfish.

Arnold, Lena, Bode, even Stella... They were all afraid that she would die, but she herself had not considered their feelings at all.

If it was before, she would definitely say "just leave him alone", but the situation is different now.

Because of her love for Lanny, she gradually opened her closed and sensitive heart. She doesn't miss the world, but she can't leave them behind.

——Leave these existences called "family".

Cecil thought for a while and calmed down softly: "Don't worry, I'm just joking. Don't you think I am very healthy now?"

She stretched her right hand under Lena's eyes, turned the back of her hand, and opened her palm. Lina looked down sadly, looking at her slender white fingers, long-lined palms, and slightly reddish joints, feeling a trace of comfort in her heart.

My sister is very healthy, and my sister will not die.

My sister stood in front of her.

"Sister...I will protect you." Lena said slowly but firmly, holding Cecil's hand.

Cecil chuckled, "Okay."

Lena looked at her soft eyebrows, and the horror of her being swallowed by a monster flashed before her eyes again.

Lena's heart tightened fiercely at this moment.

Never want to see something like this anymore...you have to work harder and harder.

——In order to protect my sister.

When Cecil, Lanny, and Lena entered the atrium, Renault was standing by the fountain, watching the water gushing quietly, his eyes flat.

"Your Excellency Renault." Cecil called out to him.

Renault turned around and glanced over her, a slight surprise flashed through the dark eyes.

But Cecil still caught it.

Why are you surprised the moment you see her? Is it incredible to see her?

She approached calmly and bowed to the young man: "I thought your Excellency would be busy with the palace affairs in the near future. I didn't expect that there would be time to help Lena's study."

"There is nothing to be busy anymore. Even your Majesty has become a member of the Star Crossing Society. The entire empire is frantically praying for the coming of the gods." Renault folded his hands and said indifferently, "Now all the people need divine power, Mage. In their eyes, it has become worthless. After all, no matter how strong human mana is, it cannot withstand the repeated attacks of monsters."

"Then you should be more busy, aren't you the backbone of the Star Crossing?" Cecil smiled.

Renault glanced at her and said, "I am not responsible for managing things in the church."

To Cecil's expectation, he did not refute it.

It seems that, as he said, the world outside the mansion has been completely messed up. Under such circumstances, it is a rare miracle that no mutant has ever invaded this mansion.

"Earl Levitt has moved into the church, why didn't you go with him?" Renault said calmly, "Father and son Otis also went, Alex Otis also asked about your whereabouts."

That fool Alex is still alive.

Cecil turned his face slightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lena caress her chest.

In the end, I still care about him.

Cecil also put his hands behind his back, gently patted a restless transparent tentacles behind his waist, and then smiled at Renault: "We are atheists, and we are not qualified to rely on the church."

Lena pursed her lips and glanced at her carefully.

Renault noticed this little movement of Lena.

"The Cross respects everyone's choice." After Renault said this, he turned his eyes to Cecil's straight calf. "Lina said you are sick. Is it convenient for me to see it?"

"Then trouble you."

Cecil lowered his head slightly, Renault stretched out his hand and gently touched her smooth and delicate forehead. Lanny watched his movements quietly, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy and cold, but Cecil quietly pinched his fingers behind his back, he had to endure it with dissatisfaction, and his soft lips pressed tightly into a line.

Patience, patience, patience.

Otherwise Cecil will be angry.

The little octopus was about to explode. It was only a short minute, but at this time it seemed extremely long. Finally, Renault retracted his hand and looked at Cecil solemnly: "How can your body wear so badly?"

Before Cecil could answer, Lena blurted out in shock: "What? What do you mean by loss?"

Cecil: ...that's bad.

Renault did not know whether it was deliberate, or he had to answer questions. He looked at Lena and explained in a low voice: "Your sister is far weaker than you can see. All the functions in her body are declining, and the time left for her is running out."

"...How could this happen?" Lena paled with fright, and her voice was trembling.

Cecil sighed deeply: "Your Excellency Renault, please don't scare Lena."

Renault: "What I say is the truth."

"You don't need to talk about this kind of thing..." Cecil looked unhappy, "Please go back."

Reynolds glanced at her, and the peripheral light swept across Lanney aside.

Lanny met his gaze and suddenly curled his lips.

Renault froze for a while, then bowed and bowed, and left without saying a word.

In any case, his purpose of coming here has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to stay.

What's more, he has very important things to tell that person.

Renault walked out of the mansion quickly, just about to whisper a spell, suddenly something pierced through his waist and abdomen——

The blood flowed out instantly.

He looked down at the rapidly dyed red clothes around his waist, and raised a hand to cover the wound forbearingly.

Someone attacked him, was it Cecil, or...

The air in front of him tore through the dark cracks, Renault clutched his waist, hovering in his footsteps, and plunged into it.

"Those Renault said are all lie, why are you taking it seriously?" Cecil was hurriedly comforting Lena. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Lannie stretched out in a relaxed manner. It is easy and pleasant.

"Come and help me!" she cried angrily.

Lanny frowned troubledly: "What am I going to do?"

"Come with me to appease her!"

Lanny frowned, her eyes full of resistance: "I don't want it."

Cecil was angry and helpless. It's true that Lenny wouldn't do such things to others, but Lena didn't listen to her explanation at all now, she needed help.

"Sister, what should I do, what should I do to save you..." Lena shed tears, her face pale and frightened, "How could it become like this? I thought everything would be fine... How could... I don't want to watch it anymore. That's the result..."

Her condition looked terrible, and it was more like a mental trauma than pure fear.

"Lina..." Cecil hugged Lena, trying to calm her emotions, but the next second, Lena's body softened and suddenly she lost her breath.

Lanny retracted his hand and said impatiently: "It's really troublesome."

Lena was knocked out by him.

Cecil: "..."

Although not a good way, it is indeed the simplest and rude.

She rubbed her forehead, called two maids and took Lena back to the room. After that, she stayed by Lena's bed, Lanny turned into a little octopus to accompany her, and it was not until the evening when Bod came back from the outside that they retreated lightly.

Inside the living room.

"Lina knows too?" After listening to Cecil's report, Bode couldn't help frowning. "Forget about it, I want to tell you something more important."

Cecil: "What?"

Bode lowered his voice: "I tracked down the carriage rental office and found that Marty had previously rented a carriage to the little fishing village that no one cared about. After that, the carriage disappeared with the coachman."

Cecil was alert: "When?"

"Six months ago."

"So early?!" Cecil was shocked.

It turned out that the encounter with them was not the first time Marty went to the small fishing village, so what was his intention to go there again?

"Yes. Besides, I went to the fishing village and found something special."

Bode pulled out a small crystal box from his pocket. Opening the box, there was a small, broken stone lying in it. There was a blue trace on the stone, which shone faintly under the refraction of the crystal.

"This color... does it seem to have a familiar feeling?" Bode looked at Lanney meaningfully.

Lanny: "?"

Cecil murmured, "Looks like Lanny's blood."

"That's right." Bode snapped his fingers and closed the box. "I used magic to explore it. This blood-stained ingredient is spread over the entire lake bottom of the fishing village, that is to say—"

"All water sources in the fishing village have been infiltrated." Cecil continued.

"Yes."

Perhaps this is the real reason why the fishing village has become a mermaid village. And Marty went to the Mermaid Village many times, probably because he discovered this...

Cecil looked at Lenny immediately. Lenny was fiddled with Cecil's hair absent-mindedly, and when she saw her turning his head to look over, he was suddenly confused.

"Cecile?" He tilted his head, looking blank.

"Lanny." Cecil took the crystal box in Bod's hand, took out the stone in it, raised it in front of Lanny's eyes, and asked seriously, "Is this your blood?"

Lanny looked at it carefully, then shook his head.

"not mine."

Upon hearing this, Cecil looked at Bode suspiciously.

It's not Lanny's blood, so who else's blood will be blue?

Lanny blinked his clear green eyes, and continued: "It's the blood of Xiaoqi that I fell off."

"..."

Cecil: "Isn't that yours!"

Cecil was so angry that he wanted to hit someone. She looked at Lanny with an innocent look, and was about to teach him a lesson, when a maid suddenly opened the door and rushed in in a panic.

"Miss, Miss Lena is gone!"

Cecil: "What?"
