They recognized their feelings, but the knight had been reincarnated as a fox cub

What is this? It looks delicious, I'll buy it. What is that? It looks delicious, I'll buy it.

Anyway, there is still a lot of money, and once the money in his pocket exceeds one silver coin, Fate starts to swell, and he doesn't know what his consumption level is.

It was a rare vacation, so naturally he spent it as comfortably as possible. Fate woke up at noon, had a grand meal in a restaurant, strolled leisurely on the street, bought a large pot of iced blueberry wine and drank it on his way home, and then continued to sleep after returning.

In fact, with Fate's normal consumption, he would not be in trouble at the end of the month. But the key is that this guy is careless. He ordered a pot of blueberry wine, put the money on the table, said "no need for change" and left.

It's not that Fate likes to act like a big shot or cares about his reputation. He just thinks that the money in his wallet is enough for the time being, and he doesn't want to give you small changes or something, which will cause trouble.

Therefore, the wine vendors liked this gentleman very much. Seeing him was like seeing the God of Wealth, and they always gave him generous tips.

After retirement, Fate became much lazier than before. He would stay at home on weekends if possible. He could sleep a whole day the next day if he got enough sleep.

It’s like I want to make up for all the sleep I missed before.

But sometimes he would feel uncomfortable if he slept too long, so at this time Fate would go out for a rare walk, take a stroll, or take a stroll.

Then, on a peaceful afternoon in Batti City, Fate met a familiar figure.

That's Rowling?

Fate tilted his head. It was quite rare to see Rowling on a day off. She was wearing a waisted uniform that he had never seen before and was carrying a basket in her hand.

Fate stretched his head to take a look and saw that the basket contained packages of exquisite cloth bags.

Rowling didn't notice Fate behind her. Today she had her hair tied in a side ponytail, which was very different from her usual nun image.

He noticed Rowling's hands, still wearing the pair of gloves that looked unfamiliar to him. After all, he had been in contact with Rowling for almost half a year, and had never seen her wear any jewelry.

Rowling is such a girl, simple, clean and unpretentious.

Apart from being a bit fanatical in his belief in idols, there are no other shortcomings.

Since there's nowhere to go anyway, why not follow along and take a look?

Fate didn't follow the other person on purpose, but always kept a distance to see where she was going.

You don't have to work even on weekends to supplement the family income, right?

Fate thought about the time when he went to someone's house for a free meal a few days ago, and he ate up all the rice at Rowling's house almost every meal.

I don't know if the other party was 'injured' by me?

After passing through several streets and alleys, Fate followed Rowling to a somewhat remote building in the southwest corner of the city.

The childish laughter came from far away and Fate finally understood where Rowling had gone.

It's an orphanage.

"Sister Luo Lin, did you bring us anything delicious today?!"

It seems that Rowling is very popular among the children here. As soon as she appeared, she attracted a lot of children to gather around her.

Rowling smiled and pinched the boy's cheek, then distributed the cloth bags in the basket to the children who were wearing tattered clothes one by one.

"Great! It's candy!" The children who received the candy were like jumping little rabbits, and their bright smiles made the warm afternoon sunshine quite dim.

All this was seen by Fate who was standing at the door of the orphanage.

No wonder I never see Rowling on weekends. It turns out she always goes to the orphanage in the southwest corner on weekends.

But...those candies shouldn't be cheap, right?

You have to know that snacks are very expensive, even more expensive than regular meals, and only families with relatively wealthy financial conditions can afford them.

The money used to buy the candy must have been Rowling's own. Thinking of the decoration of Rowling's house and the fact that he had eaten there for a few days, Fate suddenly felt a little guilty.

After all the candies were distributed, the children who didn't get any candies couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

"It's okay, it's okay. Sister Rowling will buy it again~" Rowling couldn't bear to see the children disappointed, so she rubbed the children's heads with a smile.

"Cough..." She just walked out of the orphanage gate when she heard a familiar cough. Turning her head, she saw a familiar man in armor standing by the door with his head turned to the side, as if he was deliberately looking at the scenery.

"Oh?" Luo Lin rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen it wrong. "Sir, who are you?"

"........I'm Fate." Rowling's act of pretending not to know him made Fate frown.

"Oh my, this is incredible." Rowling pretended to be surprised. "It's really surprising to see a soft-bodied creature somewhere other than the church pews on a holiday."

"........What does this mean? I occasionally go out for a walk on the weekends, okay? And what does 'a certain soft-bodied creature' mean?"

"I was walking and ended up at the orphanage without noticing?" Rowling said with a smile. "Mr. Fate, you are not following me, are you?"

"You make me sound like a gangster. I have nothing to do, so I came over to take a look." Fate waved his hand.

"Oh, isn't that different?"

"Why are they the same?"

"Okay, Mr. Fate, just follow me." As she said that, Rowling was about to walk out onto the street.

"Wait, what are you going to do?"

"What does this have to do with you?" Fate's question was met with a big eye roll from Rowling.

"Well, if you want to buy some candy, don't go. I just happen to have some here."

"Huh?" Rowling looked over in confusion and saw several cloth bags in Fate's hands that appeared from nowhere.

Chapter 75: 73~Will I become like this too? ?

"You like sweets? How come I didn't know that?"

"There are so many things you don't know."

"Mr. Fate." Rowling looked at Fate with amusement. "The candy you left over looks quite fresh. You haven't even opened the package yet."

".......Just tell me whether you want it or not."

"Mr. Fate, it's only the beginning of the month and you're already spending money so lavishly. Be careful you'll have to eat out at other people's restaurants again at the end of the month."

"Isn't it the same for you?"

"Of course I'm different." Rowling raised her eyebrows. "I usually have savings. I save the extra money every month for the next month. Do you have any, Mr. Fate?"

"........."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes." After thinking for a long time, Fate said this.

"Mr. Fate, you really don't know how to manage money at all." Rowling sighed.

"Let's go." Rowling took Fate's hand.

"Should I come too?"

"if not?"

"I won't go. Just give these candies to the children."

"Just go if I tell you to go." Rowling dragged Fate into the welfare home with an attitude that did not allow any explanation.

"Wow, that's a big can."

"Xiao Di, don't be rude, this is my colleague." Rowling squatted down and introduced Fate to the children in the welfare home.

"Oh, hello, Mr. Colleague!" The children greeted him cutely.

"This colleague of Sister Rowling's is called Fate, and he used to be a knight."

"Knight! So handsome!" Hearing that Fate had been a knight, many children gathered around him, especially the boys.

"Uncle Fit, Uncle Fit, I want to be a knight in the future!"

"Yes, it will definitely succeed." Fate nodded.

"Uncle Fit, Uncle Fit, I want to ride in a shoulder car!"

.............

The orphanage was managed by a kind-looking old lady who insisted on keeping Rowling and Fate for lunch in the afternoon to thank them for playing with the children for so long.

"Do you come to this orphanage every weekend?" Fate started chatting on the way back.

"Yeah." Rowling nodded.

"These children are orphans abandoned in Batti City. They were born without parents. They are so pitiful."

"The Knight Commander of Dawn hopes that absolute fairness will come to the world, so I think we should give these children who are not favored by fate some help within our ability."

"Actually, I've always been curious about why you admire...I mean respect the Knight of Dawn so much." Fate asked casually.

"Mr. Fate, do you know about the fire that happened in Batti City more than ten years ago?" Rowling raised her head slightly, as if reminiscing about the past.

"A big fire?" Fate thought for a moment. More than ten years ago, when the previous emperor of the empire was still in power, it was not surprising that anything happened at that time.

At that time, due to the rampant banditry, not only the countryside, but even the towns were often robbed. Except for the inner city guarded by the nobles' soldiers, the outer city defenders were useless and would run away faster than a rabbit's father when they saw the robbers.

Even the army at that time burned, killed and looted wherever they passed, not to mention the unorganized and undisciplined bandits, who were bloodthirsty as soon as they entered the city.

Therefore, it was very common for any city to suffer from banditry and looting at that time. There were so many of them that Fate could not even remember whether Batti City was among them.

"The robbers who broke into my house ransacked it and killed my parents. I escaped by hiding under the bed, but after robbing my belongings, they burned down the house..." Rowling took out the unworn pendant from her arms and looked at it with nostalgia.

"The turbid air, the strong smell of blood and charcoal, the charred beams collapsed and hit me..."

“At the critical moment, a tall figure blocked my way and saved me.”

"He told me, who was in despair at the time, that I must live on with my parents' hopes, live well, and live strong." The passing of time has blurred the memories of many years ago, but even so, the figure of the knight is still clear, even today, many years after his death.

Rowling was lost in memories, and Fate was also reminiscing.

He frowned.

Is there such a thing?

I think so.

Why do I say "seems"? Because Fate has saved so many little girls, and saved so many little girls from fires, that he really can't remember which one it was.

Without exception, these girls lost something in the fire, either lost a loved one or suffered permanent damage to some part of their body.

At times like this, Fate would always encourage the other person to be positive and live well. Otherwise, if the person was rescued and immediately went to Zisha, wouldn't it be a waste of her rescue?

"So, it's because the Dawn Knight saved you?"

"More than that, he not only saved me, he redeemed me."

"Uh uh." Fate really couldn't figure out the difference between the two, and saw that Rowling looked like she was about to pray anywhere.

However, just as Rowling put her hands together, something strange appeared on her expression. She wanted to clasp her hands together, but she acted as if she was completely unable to complete this action. Her hands were suspended in the air and she didn't make any next move.

Fate noticed her abnormality and observed without saying a word.

"Are you feeling a little unwell?"

"Hmm...I feel a little dizzy."

"Why don't you go back first? I'll take you back."

"No, I can go back by myself."

"Let me take you there, so you don't pass out on the way. It's getting late now."

"......Okay." Seeing that Fate questioned the need to send her home, Rowling had no choice but to agree and let Fate send her home.

After returning home, Rowling quickly took off her gloves.

She stared at her hands blankly.

A few days ago, the mutation only affected my hands, but now, it has spread to my arms...

The entire arm was covered with a mixture of blue and black cuticles.

Rowling has tried to remove these cuticles, but it was of no use. Even if they were cut by a knife, these cuticles could heal themselves and regenerate in a short time.

What on earth is this? ?

Rowling's eyes trembled, and she felt her scalp tingling just looking at her hands.

Wearing gloves is not only to block other people's eyes, but also to block your own eyes.

Every time she saw herself getting closer to the monster every day, she would be overwhelmed by fear and despair.
