Plunder the Heavens from Warhammer

Chapter 226: This knife, the child’s words are without restraint!

"Where did this kid come from?!"

Looking into the hall, Alvin saw a little girl with ragged clothes, who hadn't taken a shower for a long time, with tangled hair and a strange smell. She was looking at him timidly with her big, blinking eyes. Alvin was immediately filled with question marks.

what's the situation?
Could it be Hilda's baby?
That's impossible. Even if the elves gave birth to children, regardless of the issue of reproductive isolation, they shouldn't have given birth to a human, right?

Looking at the timid, frightened little girl, Alvin slowly squatted down, chuckled and waved: "Come here, don't be afraid."

As if she saw a hint of kindness in the eyes of the squatting Alvin, Penny approached cautiously.

Alvin ruffled the girl's hair and turned to look at Hilda, hoping she could give him an explanation as to why there was a baby in the family!

"Oh, I forgot to tell you."

It was only then that Hilda remembered and looked at the little girl with some caution: "She is a believer of the evil god!"

One sentence...almost scared Alvin to death.

What the hell? The evil god is so arrogant now, sneaking in right in front of him and using his house as a public toilet!
He almost threw Penny out, but Hilda paused and explained, "This child suddenly broke into the mansion without being discovered by anyone. She was the one who told me that you were assassinated by the Dark Eldar, and then asked me to save you quickly."

...Can you use your brain when you speak next time?

The corners of Alvin's eyes twitched, and he pulled the corners of his mouth: "Excuse me, but what is the 'evil god' you mentioned..."

"You don't know?" Hilda looked at him in surprise and said, "He's the emperor of your human empire. Isn't he the fifth evil god?"

You said it very well. As a reward, don’t say it again next time!
"...You'd better not say this outside." Alvin covered his face, and the familiar feeling came back: "Otherwise, I'm really afraid that one day I will wake up and find the Tribunal blocking my door!"

"Oh, okay, I'll remember that."

Hilda nodded, as if she had really taken note of it.

After learning about the little girl's origins, Alvin's jaw dropped in shock. It turned out that this child... was truly chosen by the 'Emperor'!

He also had to thank this child. If it weren't for Penny's warning, he would have really exposed the Navigator System!

Wait, when I think about it...is the Emperor considered women's clothing?
Thinking of this, Alvin looked a little strange, but he soon let it go. The emperor was wearing women's clothes, so what was wrong with him wearing the Armor of Oath? Who else dared to say that he was wearing women's clothes?

Drag him out and serve him the death penalty with white phosphorus!
Alvin ruffled the little girl's hair and tried to speak gently to avoid scaring her: "What's your name?"

"Penny, my name is Penny, uncle."

Little Penny spoke timidly. She seemed to have seen Alvin's gorgeous clothes and knew that he was a noble. She was afraid that her dirty smell would stain the expensive clothes, so she whispered, "No, uncle... Penny... is dirty."

"Who said that? You're not dirty at all."

Alvin wiped the dirt off the girl's face and looked at her seriously: "You are very clean, you know? You saved my life, you are my savior, what do you want? I can satisfy you." "You...can you take me in?" Penny clutched her little hands, a little hope flashed in her timid eyes: "Sir, Penny is very capable, I can clean, fold clothes,...can cook, and Penny is easy to feed, can endure hunger, only three...no, two energy bars a week are enough, so...can you take me in?"

Looking at Penny, who was thin and weak, like a small, dry branch, Alvin suddenly fell silent, as if there were thousands of words stuck in his chest.

Why two energy bars?
Because that is the minimum requirement to maintain life!
Alvin took a deep breath, trying to control his fluctuating emotions, and hugged Penny's small, frail body: "Where are your parents? I can...make sure you never have to worry about going hungry in your life."

With his current abilities, it is not difficult to do this.

He doesn't have the ability, ideal or skill to help the world, but he can still help to the best of his ability.

"Penny... doesn't have a mom or a dad anymore."

Penny's tone was low, but still very steady as she spoke: "Mom and Dad went out yesterday. They said they were going to the Helian District to find food for Penny, but they never came back... Many people didn't come back. Some people said... they died."

It was just a simple sentence, but it was like a bolt from the blue!
In fact, there was no emotional fluctuation at all, it was like a huge hammer hitting Alvin's heart directly!

boom!
Silent, silent.

Children's words may not be restrained, but they can hurt people the most!
This knife peeled off Alvin's flesh, revealing his bloody heart, and pierced deep into his soul!

Yes, he saved the vast majority of people.

However, among the 'minority' that were sacrificed, there were countless children like Penny. Fifty thousand people...died in that neighborhood at his command.

Originally, the "sin" that was only in his mind seemed to be materialized the moment he saw the little girl, and turned into a heavy boulder, pressing on his heart.

Guilt? Apology? Regret?

Countless emotions intertwined and lingered in Alvin's heart. He did not deny the correctness of the order, but... the real sin was equally heavy!

"Uncle, it's okay, don't be sad." Little Penny was very good at observing people's expressions. She noticed the noble's mood and gently stroked his hair with her little hands, like a mature adult:
"Mom and Dad said that they will die one day, so tell Penny not to be sad. They just went to a place where they won't come back. The Emperor of God will bless them."

"So, I have to live well, no matter what happens, I have to live well, let mom and dad see that Penny can be alone! Uncle also has to live well, no matter what happens, don't be sad!"

Alvin held little Penny in his arms, lifted her up from the ground, looked at the little girl's dirty face, his eyes were a little red, and said in a hoarse voice: "From now on, you...will take my last name, okay?"

"Ah, no... No, you are a noble, I am not worthy!" Penny was so scared that she quickly waved her hands and said carefully: "Just give me a job, uncle."

"Don't call me uncle, call me brother."

Alvin scratched Penny's small nose and said softly, "From now on, you are my sister, Penny Valshus. Remember, no one can bully you... No one, no one!"
