In this open space, there is a statue that is so broken that its specific features can no longer be seen. Although it has been thrown here not long ago, it has become quite dilapidated due to wind and sun.
This statue was originally placed in the central square of the town with respect, because it was the hero who saved the town.
But with the great trial, this hero who was once respected by everyone has now become a rat crossing the street, and his statue has been destroyed and thrown into this grove.
This is the former brave man, the current rebel against God...
...Statue of Levi!
Although adults say that Levi is an unforgivable traitor and a demon who has betrayed God, Ina and Juna seem to have a different attitude.
Especially Ina, because...
She once met the brave Levi...
Chapter 114: Good Children Get Candy~
When the demons attacked the town, and Ina's father was injured in the war, the one who descended from the sky at the most critical moment, repelled the invading demons, and saved the town from the water and fire was none other than the brave Levi...
…That was the figure that Ina could never forget until now. At the most critical and helpless moment, facing the terrifying demons standing in front of her, that reliable back like a god.
"Sorry, I'm late..."
Facing the half-destroyed town, the tall and handsome (from Ina's perspective) brave man revealed a deep sense of self-blame in his eyes.
I can't forget the strong sense of relief I felt at that moment, and the fact that the battle in the town was over. Ina mustered up the courage to run over and thank the other party in person, and saw the other party's expression after he was stunned.
"'Thank you'? I could have arrived earlier, so I could have saved more people and your father wouldn't have been hurt. I should have said sorry..."
After saying these words that Ina couldn't understand at the time, Levi reached out and gently rubbed Ina's little head.
"You must live well, my cute little one, and...thank you for your support. Even if it's just for you, everything I do is meaningful!"
That's right...
...All the efforts until now are for everything in front of us, for these poor and lovely people!
Afterwards, Ina heard that the brave man had repelled the demons and became a hero admired by everyone. She was very happy because the hero had spoken to her in person and touched her head, which was the proudest thing in her life.
However, the situation took a turn for the worse afterwards. No matter how others claimed that the hero was a double-talker and was actually an unforgivable bastard, Ina didn't believe it at all.
The feelings I felt that day could never be a false disguise, that man is a true hero!!!
She wanted to argue with others countless times, but in the end she could only be choked back by the words "what do kids know"...
Those adults are ignorant fools. How can they believe so firmly that a person who feels guilty for not saving more ordinary people is an unforgivable villain!
So, even today, Inai would sneak into the grove from time to time, find this statue and stop in silence.
She wanted to do something, but she was too weak. All she could do was occasionally pick some flowers from the woods and make a small wreath to present to the hero who saved her.
Today is the Autumn Harvest Festival, such a wonderful day. If the Brave Lord were still here, he would definitely be very happy to see all this, right?
However, when we arrived at the place where the statue was, we unexpectedly discovered that someone had already got there first.
This was really unexpected. Apart from the children, there were rarely any other people coming to this grove on weekdays.
She was a woman wearing light leather armor, with a knight's sword and a dagger hanging from her waist, and had refreshing short blue hair.
She knelt on one knee in front of the broken statue, and like a devout believer, she closed her eyes and prayed deeply.
She looked like she was facing a statue in a church, but to be honest, even in a church... Inai had never seen many believers with expressions as devout as this woman.
What's more, the woman was not kneeling to worship a god, but a statue of a brave man that was placed on the altar by people and then smashed to pieces by people themselves.
"Who?"
Ina and Juna were still some distance away from the blue-haired woman, but she immediately stood up alertly and drew the short knife at her waist.
The movement was so fast that neither Ina nor Juna could see her movements clearly.
"what……"
The two little guys were obviously stunned by this scene. The key point is that a small town like Jiamerica is not big, and everyone in the town is familiar. The blue-haired woman is obviously an outsider.
The blue-haired woman was originally on guard, but after she saw that the visitors were just two girls who were not even adults, her expression relaxed a little.
"You are?"
"..."
Hey, it's obviously us who should be asking you here. You are obviously more suspicious, so why is it the other way around!
Although Ina really wanted to complain, the current situation didn't seem suitable for complaining, so she could only answer carefully.
"My name is Ina, and this is my neighbor's sister, Juna. We are all from Jiameilika. Big sister, who are you? Why are you worshiping Lord Levi here..."
"Lord Levi...?"
At this point, the blue-haired woman seemed to notice something. She glanced at the wreath that had already dried up under the statue, and then looked at Ina in front of her. She was still holding the wreath that she was going to give to Levi today.
Suddenly, the blue-haired woman's expression softened, "Are you here to pay respect to Lord Levi?"
"That's right!"
At that moment, the blue-haired woman immediately put away the short knife in her hand, and her expression became apologetic. "Sorry, did I scare you just now?"
Inai shook his head, but the suspicion in his eyes did not fade away. Who is this woman?
The blue-haired woman seemed to have completely lost her guard. She waved at the two little guys and said, "Have you been worshipping Lord Levi all this time?"
After all, there are quite a few dried wreaths under the statue, and it is clear that this is a long process and not just a momentary whim.
However, if Levi was still a hero, it would not be surprising, but considering Levi's current reputation, why would these two little guys come to worship Levi?
The moment the blue-haired woman asked this question, Ina couldn't help himself.
"Lord Levi is not a bad guy. Those who say Lord Levi is a bad guy are the bad guys. Lord Levi is a hero, a real hero!!!"
She shouted these words loudly, and one could feel the strong emotions in her tone. The blue-haired woman was dazed for a moment, and then she revealed an extremely gentle look in her eyes.
"Yes, it turns out that even now, there are still people who can remember it. Thank you..."
Having said that, the blue-haired woman actually bowed solemnly to Ina and Juna, which made the two little guys a little bit at a loss.
"Ah, then, that... Big sister, you..."
"Haha, then..." The blue-haired woman took out two sugar cookies from her waist bag, then broke off a small piece from each of them and put it in her mouth, and handed the rest to the two girls.
"!"
Not eating food from strangers is common sense to these small town kids, and the blue-haired woman obviously knows it too.
So, she deliberately broke off a little and ate it herself to prove that "there is nothing wrong with the food."
Ina and Juna took it carefully, took a small bite, and their eyes widened immediately.
The sweet taste seems to penetrate into the heart. For the people here, sweetness is a very precious taste, especially a delicious sugar cake like this, which is a delicacy that can only be tasted during the Chinese New Year.
"Thank you sister!"
"Nothing, 'Good people are rewarded, good children are rewarded', 'he' always said that~" After saying something as if reminiscing, the blue-haired woman paused again, "Oh, by the way, good children, can you make a promise with your sister? If you have seen your sister here, please keep it a secret from others~ Please!"
——————————————————————————————————————
Well, today is the fourth update~

Chapter 115: The Remnants of the Brave Levi
"Please keep my sister's story a secret~"
Ina and Juna exchanged glances, then nodded in tacit understanding, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, we won't tell anyone. Since you are here to pay tribute to Lord Levi, you must be a good person!"
As they were saying this, a salute was heard from the direction of the town, and they immediately understood what was going on.
"Ah, the Autumn Harvest Festival has begun, we have to hurry back!"
"Well, have fun~"
The blue-haired woman waved to the two of them and watched the two little guys disappear from her sight, her eyes full of love and pity.
She let out a slow sigh only after she could no longer see the two of them.
"Lord Levi, big brother, did you see everything? No matter how those beasts in the empire slander you, there are still people who remember your achievements. You are the heroes. Those beasts will never confuse right and wrong forever. So... I will work hard, I will definitely... let everyone know the truth!"
Good things happen to good people...
...Obviously he is such a good person, he just hopes that everyone can have the right to live happily with their heads held high.
Why must such a good person be condemned by so many people? !
Some people may sneer and say that this is an idea that only naive children would have.
However, if the logic of "good people are rewarded" cannot be established in this world, then it is definitely not the good people who did something wrong...
...but the logic of this world that cannot reward good people is wrong!
We must overthrow this abominable system and not let the blood of good people be shed in vain!
The woman sighed, then tightened her grip on the weapon at her waist, gathered her thoughts, and then leaped away into the forest...
Ina and Juna left the grove and followed the main road back towards the town. They had walked this road at least eight thousand times, so they were so familiar with it that they could not have made a mistake even with their eyes closed.
But just as they were about to return to the town, the sound of hurried horse hooves suddenly came.
"what?"
At the other end of the avenue, a horse team suddenly rushed out. When the man leading the team saw two children suddenly appear in front of him, his face changed and he quickly pulled the reins hard.
With a dull snort, the galloping horses were forced to stop. The two little guys were so frightened by this sudden incident that they fell to the ground and could not move. The horse team behind them also stopped because the man leading them suddenly stopped.
"..."
The man leading the team dismounted and walked a few steps to the two little guys. He asked with concern, "How are you? Did you get scared? Are you hurt anywhere?"
The man looked to be in his forties, with sharp edges and corners as if they had been cut by a knife or an axe, a rough and tough face.
He was wearing the military uniform of the Kingdom of Abyss. Looking at his appearance, Ina and Juna felt that he looked familiar...
Faced with the man's question, Ina and Juna had never seen such a scene before. They were stunned for a moment and didn't know how to respond. At this moment, a domineering voice came from behind the horse team.
"Hey, why did you stop suddenly? What are you doing?!"
As the voices were spoken, a fat man in fancy clothes, riding a horse, came leisurely towards them.
"..." The man in military uniform quickly bowed his head and saluted the fat man, "...Sir Bai, these are two children... They should be from the small town here. I was running too fast with my team just now and didn't see them clearly. I'm afraid I scared them."
However, facing the man's explanation... the fat man named Baiyi snorted coldly, "Humph, country people do things in a rough way, not decent at all. General Karl, I am here with His Majesty's orders. Can you afford to delay His Majesty's orders?"
"…I'm sorry." The uniformed man named Carl lowered his head hurriedly. "…Your Majesty's order is of course extremely urgent. We dare not neglect it. I hope Your Excellency Bai can give us some time. We will definitely catch the person as soon as possible."
After saying that, Karl seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked at the two little guys, "Good boy, tell uncle... have you seen any outsiders here?"
After all, the people in the small town are familiar with each other, so if a outsider comes, he will definitely be recognized. Then Carl described the outsider he was talking about, who was the blue-haired woman the two had just met.
The expression on Juna's face changed instantly, and Inai quickly said, "No, we haven't seen any outsiders..."
"Is that so?"
Karl seemed to be a little concerned about the sudden change in expression on Juna's face, but before he could ask in detail, the Bai behind him couldn't help it.
"What can two country kids know? Stop wasting your time!"
"Yes!"
After hearing this, Karl naturally did not dare to delay any further, but spoke to the two little guys very seriously.
"Children, that man is a very dangerous wanted criminal, a remnant of the 'God-breaker'. If you find him, you must tell the adults immediately. Do you understand?"
"..."
The remnants of the rebels?
Isn’t that Lord Levi’s former partner?
It is said that Levi and several of his confidants were executed by the empire, but these were not the only people who followed Levi back then. Many of them could not accept Levi's execution and are still active everywhere, causing the empire a headache.
Naturally, the empire would not let these people go, so it has been hunting down these so-called "remnants" everywhere and will not rest until they are all wiped out.
