Chapter 81: Hero Bloodline and Superior Demon
Debby Light followed her tall companion, trying her best to adjust her facial expressions. The strong but soft joy made her head dizzy. A competent mercenary should never bring emotions into their work. She pinched the palm of her hand with her manicured nails and adjusted her breathing rate to finally calm down the excited beating of her heart.
Even if Godwin Lopez successfully obtained the holy sword in the last mission, she did not have such definite joy.
Most of the abandoned children in the Light orphanage would not stay after the age of thirteen. Thanks to its geographical location, there were a lot of professionals and adventurers of all kinds who would come and go. Those with talents and dreams would be taken away as soon as possible; out of that remote town and start their own lives.
Nemo was the only one who stayed behind; her actual caregiver, but also the main object of her bullying when she was young and ignorant. By the time Debby was old enough to climb up the roof of the house and blow up the neighbor’s chimney with her magic, Old Patrick was so old that he would have to catch his breath after a few steps. In order to maintain the orphanage’s livelihood, the eldest, Nemo began to run around to work and carried all the responsibility in one basket himself.
Although she cautiously confirmed it, Debby still didn’t think Nemo Light was a person obsessed with power. He had never pursued his “authority” in the orphanage, and he had never shown even the slightest jealousy of her power.
She was nothing short of a brat when she was a child. Although she didn’t want to admit it, Debby knew this well, but he never really got angry with her, or even scolded her. Nemo would always be like Old Patrick and babble solemnly— She even thought he was so weak at the time.
The girl smiled helplessly at herself in her memories.
Such a person will not hurt others for a little so-called power. His eyes did not change, and she decided to believe him.
Debby originally planned to go back to Roadside Town when she was an adult, bringing honor, money and apologies to repay this relative who seemed to have never learned what anger was. At that time, he should have settled down and maybe have his own family. Nemo would never leave Roadside Town. She had always believed this firmly for no apparent reason.
