Mystery: Who has seen my brother?

Chapter 175 Good Dream
Eve took a step forward, approached Lisandra, and loosely embraced her body, gently stroking her back with her right hand, like a loving elder.

"Miss Mirella..."

Lisandra's hands froze in mid-air, and she was a little at a loss for a moment. She stretched out her hands tentatively and slowly circled her arms, as if to hug Eve, but stopped when the hug was about to be formed.

The girl's hands froze in mid-air again, forming a small, irregular circle, like a circle casually drawn by a child with a paintbrush. The "circle" hung in the air and broke quietly after a few seconds.

Eve saw the girl's anxiety and fear and let her go.

Lisandra pursed her lips and silently pinched the thin ID card with her fingers. A sense of security surged in her heart. The person who had been hanging on the cliff for a long time finally felt the safety of having her feet on the ground.

"Thanks……"

she said quietly.

"Thank you so much……"

"You're welcome. People like us have some channels." Eve blinked her eyes, looking a little playful, and spoke in a gentle tone.

Lisandra nodded. She knew that both adventurers and pirates had some such channels, but the only ones who helped her for free were the two benefactors in front of her.

"Also, through some sources, we speculate that your parents might be in West Balam."

Having said that, Eve looked up at Lisandra. The girl's face was filled with obvious surprise. She obviously couldn't believe that Eve and Klein could actually locate her parents based on so little information.

He must have a powerful background or incredible abilities, Lisandra thought to herself, suppressed her surprise, and asked nothing.

After so many years of hard work, she knows very well the value of "silence".

In either case, she shouldn't have asked.

Lisandra pursed her lips and began to seriously consider the information Eve had provided.

“West Balam…”

Although she had lived in the Rhodes Islands for many years, she had heard about the situation in West Balam: war, barbarism, poverty, chaos... This was the West Balam that Lisandra learned from others.

Although there are also resistance forces and government forces in the Rhodes Islands, it is generally safer than West Balam.

very dangerous……

Lisandra pursed her lips tightly, frowned, and her face was full of confusion and hesitation that was difficult to conceal.

Now she has her ID and a dozen pounds in savings, enough for her to live a normal life...

But she was unwilling to give up like this...

And if I gave up like this, would my two benefactors misunderstand me... No, this wasn't a misunderstanding...

"I……"

Lisandra felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She opened her mouth, but only uttered "I".

"You don't have to tell us your choice," Klein looked at Lisandra, whose face was full of confusion. It was obvious that the girl had not yet made a final decision. "Whatever choice you make is up to you."

Klein paused, as if realizing there was some ambiguity in his words, and immediately added, "Don't worry about us."

"Thank you..." Lisandra replied softly, her head lowered and her eyes fixed on the hem of her clothes.

"No matter what you choose, may the goddess bless you." Klein took off his hat and bowed to the girl in front of him.

"I hope we can meet again, Miss Lisandra. May the witch protect you." Eve also waved goodbye to Lisandra.

Lisandra was stunned for a moment, then reacted. She instinctively stepped forward and replied, "May the storm be with you, Mr. Sparrow, Ms. Mirella." As the girl finished speaking, Eve and Klein disappeared completely into the darkness. Lisandra looked at the empty grassland. She was alone, and everything had returned to the silence of her first arrival.

The girl lowered her head, slowly raised her right hand, clenched it into a fist, and struck her left chest with it, muttering softly, "May the storm be with me."

……

Backlund
The color in the house, which was always dim, suddenly deepened, like an oil painting, but the next second all the abnormalities disappeared, as if they had never happened, but the two people who appeared in the living room with the abnormality proved its existence.

After returning home, Klein no longer had to maintain the appearance of German Sparrow, as Eve had removed the illusion from him.

"Will you really protect her?" Klein suddenly asked. The words "May the witch protect you" seemed to still linger in his ears, making him feel a little concerned.

"Hmm..." Eve touched her chin, as if she was really thinking seriously, "I'm always willing to help good children. If she is willing to convert to me..."

Having said this, Eve deliberately lengthened her voice and looked up at Klein. As expected, she saw a hint of relaxation in his eyes.

Eve smiled and continued, "Maybe I'll think about it."

"Uh……"

“That’s within expectations…” Klein thought silently in his heart.

"Instead of caring about others, it is better to care about yourself first." Eve said suddenly.

"Good night," He suddenly took a step forward, patted Klein's shoulder, blinked, and said with a smile, "I wish you a sweet dream."

The sudden courtesy and blessing caught Klein off guard. For a moment, he wondered if his sister had been replaced by some high-ranking figure with extremely poor acting skills.

"Ha, man, what's that look in your eyes?"

Klein's suspicious look was too obvious. Eve's mouth curled up slightly, and he crossed his arms across his chest, with a hint of laughter in his tone.

Hearing this, Klein retracted his suspicious gaze and nodded pretentiously. His "Joker" ability allowed him to suppress the corners of his mouth, and he looked truly serious on the surface.

The little jokes between the siblings eased the somewhat serious atmosphere, and after saying good night to each other, they returned to their rooms to rest.

The next day

The sunlight was blocked by the curtains, so it didn't disturb the occupant's sleep. Klein lingered in bed for a while before reluctantly getting up, dressing, and heading downstairs.

He walked into the kitchen as usual, ready to make a quick breakfast, but when he opened the door he saw an unexpected person inside.

"Sister?"

Seeing Eve, Klein's mind cleared up a little. He was very surprised that he could see her in the morning.

"You actually got up so early today!"

"Ah," Eve closed the cupboard door, stuffed a bottle of milk and a plate of bread into Klein's hands, and picked up her own portion. She said weakly, "There's nothing I can do. I have to start looking for news again."

Klein took his breakfast and missed the time two seconds ago when he could sleep in.

The work of the Tingen Night Watchmen wasn't onerous, and even if it wasn't a holiday, Klein could still sleep in. But now the training workload was heavy, so naturally, he couldn't sleep in. As for the future, thinking about the workload of the Red Gloves, Klein felt that he would basically never be able to sleep in again.

"How did you sleep last night?" Eve asked as she walked in front of Klein and placed breakfast on the dining table.

"Very good," Klein replied, then thought about his first day here. He muttered, "Shouldn't I have asked this question on my first day?"

"Hasn't it been made up for now?" Eve said nonchalantly, not surprised by Klein's answer.
