Ficklin looked disappointed, perhaps noticing that Maggie's face was a little dark. He didn't press further, but instead kept glancing at Rabai beside him, giving Maggie meaningful looks.
As if asking, 'Who is this?'
"...I found it in the city."
Maggie sometimes felt helpless about Ficklin's intense curiosity. He was like a walking encyclopedia, asking questions every day, especially now that new people had come into her life, Ficklin wanted to know even more.
"Wow? You managed to find something so beautiful... Awesome, awesome."
Ficklin gave Maggie a very sincere thumbs up, not holding back his praise, seemingly genuinely thinking that Labai was very beautiful.
Of course, Maggie thought so too.
"Yes, I'm good."
Maggie could almost feel the throbbing veins on her forehead. She always felt a deep sense of powerlessness in front of Ficklin, especially after hearing such a 'vulgar' compliment.
"By the way, don't leave me in that lousy place next time. I promised to protect you."
Ficklin thought for a moment, then spoke with a righteous expression.
"......good."
Maggie paused for a moment, then reluctantly agreed.
No one understood that Maggie didn't bring him along because she was worried that the stupid dragon would ruin her plans, since he had wings.
However, the timing of her intervention was perfect, at least preventing her from being swallowed up by the monster horde.
Finally, Ficklin left satisfied, leaving Rabai and Maggie staring at each other. Perhaps because she was deaf and mute, she just blinked at them the whole time without any other reaction.
Rabai's heterochromatic gold and silver eyes gazed gently at Maggie, without a trace of aggression, as if they could encompass all the injustices and grievances in the world.
Maggie stared blankly into those eyes. In truth, she had very complicated feelings about Rabai, especially since this person might be the god of the earth.
because.....
The god of the earth, though he sounds like a broad-minded and seemingly good-tempered fellow.
In reality, his human form has an unpredictable and ambiguous personality, which can be described as both righteous and evil; in short, he is chaotic and neutral.
I do things entirely based on my mood.
Even in the comics, he often disappears from the main characters without warning, and no one knows what he does. After a while, he will come back, usually bringing back important clues or... fragments of living beings.
Um, it's body parts, it could be a head, an arm, a leg, or a finger, regardless of race.
Even in Maggie's eyes, Harlen, who had the worst personality, was more normal than him.
But if we assume that he was reincarnated as a deaf-mute and was bullied by so many thugs, it's not impossible that he would end up like that.
Maggie's feelings were complicated.
Perhaps seeing that Maggie was finally alone, she slowly stepped forward, took Maggie's hand, and wrote a few words in her palm.
Are they all your friends? I envy you.
Her fingertips rubbed and slid gently in her palm, creating a ticklish sensation, which allowed Maggie to piece together what she had written.
Perhaps due to her long period of deafness and muteness, Rabai's writing in the common language of mainland China is very concise and easy for people to understand.
If the text is too long, some people will become impatient, and others will find it difficult to understand the content.
[They don't really seem like friends; they're more like a son, a slave, a business partner, and a simple-minded, goofy sidekick.]
Maggie had this thought immediately, but she certainly couldn't say it to Rabai.
A strange light flashed in Rabai's eyes as she looked down at Maggie, who was imitating her and writing the common language of the continent in her palm, her lips slightly pursed.
'They're all my people, you don't need to worry about them hurting you, you can stay here without worry.'
Maggie just wanted to put her mind at ease.
I will definitely find you a safe place to stay, otherwise the chances of you being bullied are too high if you are deaf and mute. If all else fails, I can ask Charles to take good care of you. Given my current situation, I'm afraid I can't take you with me.
[If I accompany Nesser back to the Green Forest, I might not be able to bring anyone else along, as the elves are quite xenophobic.]
She muttered to herself, not noticing that Rabaiyi paused in his movements.
'I see you are highly respected; they all call you Her Highness the Saintess, is that right?'
Rabai wrote softly.
Maggie was surprised, then saw the woman lightly touch her lips with her finger, roughly meaning that she also understood some 'lip reading'.
She understood.
Is this the survival wisdom of deaf-mute people? They can even read lips, so they must have understood everything I said before, right?
Thank goodness, I didn't say anything bad.
Maggie thought to herself, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I am the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Light, so you will not be in danger. I will ensure your safety."
After she finished writing, she gently patted Rabai's palm, a gesture of reassurance, indicating that she could rest assured.
Although I don't have many other powers, I can still ensure someone's safety.
Thinking about it, this is the result of all the hard work and struggle during this period, and Maggie is a little proud.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Rabai lowered his eyes, leaving only a few words before gently releasing Maggie's hand. But if you looked closely, you would see the darkness in his eyes.
Only the deaf and mute can understand what it means for Rabaiyi when a bright and lively voice suddenly bursts into an eternally quiet world.
Like the only ray of light shining into the darkness, even if it is very dim and does not belong to her alone, she will desperately try to grasp it.
Maggie assumed that the woman was relieved and didn't pay much attention to her reaction. After all, the woman was much taller than her, and it was really tiring to look up at her all the time.
Finally calming everyone down, Maggie looked up at the border city that had just weathered the beast tide. The blazing sun hung in the sky, illuminating everything before her, including the soldiers coming and going. The city walls in the distance still stood firm, unyielding since ancient times, which also meant that the beast tide had been successfully resisted.
Maggie's expression softened slightly. This was also the result of her and all the soldiers and legion commanders of this border city. How could she not feel a sense of accomplishment for being able to defend such a large city?
She turned and walked into the house in a cheerful mood. Maggie decided to dress up nicely today. Although she couldn't take off her work clothes, she was allowed to wear other accessories.
The banquet tonight belongs to the city, it's their victory celebration, so it should be a grand affair.
Of course, if she could, Maggie hoped she wouldn't have to wear a saint's robe every day anymore; she wanted to wear all sorts of gorgeous little dresses, just like Lilia.
Maggie thought sadly.
