The hero's gender is yet to be determined after rebirth.

Sally bit her lip and lowered her hand from the hilt of the sword.

School bullying? Lorenwei, watching from the shadows, clenched her fist, but remained silent and didn't step forward. Sure enough, no matter the world, there's always this kind of trash!

She felt that this was Sally's business, and since she was already following her, it wasn't appropriate for her to show herself.

But then, Sylph stepped forward and went out.

Lorenwei reached out to stop her, but Sylph forcefully shook her off.

Sylph walked straight toward the girls surrounding Sally and, to their surprise, quickly raised her arm.

Snap, snap, snap, snap—

The highly agile female elf archer slapped the bullies across the face several times in succession.

"You! You dare to hit someone?" one of the girls exclaimed, covering her face.

Some girls even screamed, "I'm going to report you to the school administration!"

Sylph crossed her arms, raised her head, and said calmly, "I am not a student, and I am not allowed to engage in private fights."

Chapter 228 Sally's Home; Sally's Mother, It Turns Out to Be Her?

Sylph is still Sylph after all. Lorenwei looked at the female elf surrounded by several girls and couldn't help but recall the adventure she had back then.

To rescue the child kidnapped by the gargoyles, the two of them went ahead as scouts and entered the undead camp first. At that time, the two of them were the most agile, and the other members of the team were a dwarf warrior of heavy infantry level, a mage, and a bishop healer.

Back at the local stronghold, Sylph couldn't contain herself and rushed out upon seeing the children tied to the cave walls in such a pitiful state. As a result, both of them were badly beaten; if it weren't for the protagonist's plot armor, they probably would have died there.

The situation isn't that dangerous right now, but it's none of your business, Siruf. What are you doing running out there?

But Lorenwei still smiled at him.

If I didn't do this, I wouldn't be Sylph...

Even though her amnesia sometimes reveals a gentle side to Sylph, she is still the proud and temperamental elf.

She's not stupid; she's just someone who hates evil and can't tolerate injustice.

Looking at Sylph, Lorenwei felt that even with green hair, she was as radiant and beautiful as her golden hair had been back then.

"Are you the elf who's with Lorenwei?" one of the girls who had been hit recognized her.

The fact that they could be addressed as "that person" clearly indicates that the other party was intimidated by Lorenwei's status and dared not provoke her easily.

“Yes, remember that. I’m not called that female elf. My name is Sylph!” the female elf said proudly. “I’m the one who beat you up. Do you want to fight now? Or if you’re not satisfied, feel free to come find me afterward.”

In a world where hierarchical concepts are deeply ingrained, Lorenwei's identity is something that many people find taboo.

The women who had been bullying Sally exchanged glances, hesitated, and then retreated.

But some of them were too sharp-tongued; as they left, they glared at Sally and mumbled something indistinctly.

Sally frowned, said nothing more, and turned to the female elf: "Thank you, Sylph."

"Are you just going to let them bully you like this? Even though this has nothing to do with me, I can't let bad people get away with it!" Sylph began to lecture Sally.

“There are too many people like that.” Sally shook her head helplessly.

"So, you expect yourself to be the child of a hero, so that no one will dare to bully you?" Siruf asked, staring into her eyes.

“…” Sally didn’t speak, but slowly nodded.

"What are you going to do by relying on others? Do you think legendary heroes are enough to support you? Or do you want to rely on your so-called father to give you a belief to hold onto?"

“…” Sally remained silent, and bowed slightly to Sylph, “Thank you again.”

After saying that, she left again.

Sylph watched as Sally left.

Lorenwei has not made any public appearances.

Sylph walked thoughtfully toward Lorenvi's hiding place, at which point Lorenvi came out.

“There will always be someone who wants to rely on. Sally may have been bullied since she was a child because she was from a single-parent family…” Lorenwei paused here.

She suddenly realized that these words were inappropriate for Sylph.

“…” Sylph looked at Lorenwei, but was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, “It’s alright. Although I am an elf without parents, my people are my family, so I have never had this kind of trouble since I was a child.”

"It's good that you think that way." Lorenwei smiled back.

At this moment, Lorenwei realized that although there weren't many pedestrians on the road, she and Sylph had once again become the focus of attention for the passing teachers and students, so she quickly pulled her away.

"It's a bit difficult to find her again." Lorenwei was a little worried, but she didn't blame Sylph.

Because she did the right thing, even if it caused trouble, it's not a reason to blame her.

Lorenwei used all her skills to begin searching for Sally's whereabouts.

As Lorenwei focused on her search, Sylph whispered behind her, "At least, I still have you now..."

"Huh? What did you say?" Lorenwei didn't hear clearly.

Sylph smiled: "No."

Her beautiful eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.

It's good that she's not angry; Lorenwei didn't take it to heart.

There was only one road leading from the academy to Sally's house, making it easy to re-establish her location. Lorenve and Sylph continued their pursuit.

Fortunately, the other person was a swordsman, and their perception wasn't very sharp. Besides, she hadn't expected someone of Lorenwei's status to be interested in her and follow her, especially given her extremely rude attitude just now.

In fact, when Sylph appeared earlier, Sally had every reason to suspect that she was being followed. However, after her attempt to verify this failed, she became somewhat dejected and distracted, and failed to notice that Lorenve was following her again.

Sally soon arrived at a small village not far from the city of Stende, where she found a small house.

It wasn't far, only compared to a carriage. Even walking there at a very fast pace, it still took Sally an hour. Luckily, Lorenwei and Sylph both had martial arts skills; an ordinary young lady probably wouldn't have been able to keep up.

A sign for magic divination hung outside the hut, but it was old and dilapidated, clearly indicating that business was not booming.

Sally took a few deep breaths outside the door, tidied her makeup, patted her cheeks gently, and put on a happy smile before pushing the door open and going in: "Mom, I'm home!"

Lorenwei led Sylph to the backyard of the cottage. Although it was just a courtyard wall made of bluestone and broken wood, you could see through the cracks in the rough wall that the backyard was not dirty or messy, obviously someone cleaned it regularly.

After gesturing for Sylph to be quiet, Lorenwei focused her senses on the surrounding area. Only after confirming that there was no magical energy, did she signal Sylph to climb over the wall and enter the backyard.

"Climb over the wall? Are you sure you can?" Sylph asked doubtfully, trying to use sign language to ask Lorenve if she could.

Before she could even figure out how to gesture, Lorenve had already expertly scaled the wall and caught Sylph in the backyard, helping her climb over into the backyard as well.

Why is Lorenwei's skill at scaling walls even better than mine? Sylph looked at her suspiciously.

First, he touched the wall to check if it was secure. His movements were quick, agile, and decisive, clearly showing he was an experienced person. He landed silently, as cunning as a raccoon.

It turns out it's even better at scaling walls than I, a sprite leaping through the forest.

There were some clothes hanging in the backyard. Lorenwei crouched down and led Sylph over there.

However, Lorenwei also glanced up and saw that there were clearly young girls' underwear on the clothes rack.

Yellow? That's quite rare. It's unbelievable that a girl would like yellow underwear, both top and bottom yellow. Perhaps it matches her blonde hair? But the price is clearly cheap, the dyeing quality is poor, and it's not pure cotton, it seems…

Lorenwei's mind wandered, and she couldn't help but pause.

Soon, a sharp pain shot through her waist; Silph realized she was looking at something she shouldn't have.

Looking back, sure enough, Silph was staring at him with her triangular eyes.

Indeed, I shouldn't have brought Silph. Otherwise, perhaps we could have... cough cough, I'm an honest man.

Sure enough, there was a ventilation window at the back of the hut. In these old houses, the ventilation windows at the back are usually small because if windows are to be placed on the sides, one wall needs to be stable, thus reducing the size of the window on that side. As a former adventurer, I know all too well that these kinds of windows are perfect for peeping.

Lorenvi shook her head, and she and Sylph quietly crouched by the back window of the cabin, tiptoeing and tentatively peering inside.

Because of the many clothes hanging out to dry and the vines hanging from the eaves, much of the light was blocked, making it easy to see into the house from the shadows without being easily noticed.

As soon as she looked inside, Sylph almost cried out and quickly reached out to press Lorenve's head down.

However, in such a short time, Lorenwei had already seen it.

"What a coincidence! Actually, I didn't mean to spy, my elf wife. You have to believe me. With you and Kurara here, why would I need to see anyone else?" Lorenwei thought to herself as Sylph pressed her head down.

Looking through the back window, Lorenwei saw Sally changing her coat inside; she was dressed very simply. Although she didn't see what she most wanted to see, Lorenwei couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Sally chatted with her mother while changing her clothes.

Sylph didn't release her hand from pressing down on Lorenve's head until Sally had changed her clothes.

Lorenwei straightened up again and looked into the room through the small window.

Sally changed her clothes and drew back the curtain, allowing Lorenwei and Sylph to finally see her mother.

Her mother was preparing food on one side of the room. She was a woman in her fifties, dressed as a witch, but when she faced her daughter, she removed her veil, revealing some gray in her hair.

Of course, looking over fifty years old might be a sign of a hard life and the wear and tear of time.

Inside the room, on the divination table, sits a crystal ball with cracks.

It looks like a defective product that was once broken and then glued back together.

Although most fortune tellers don't possess the magic of sorcerers, almost all of them have some magical background. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to make the crystal ball display any unusual phenomena to achieve the effect of their divination.

For a fortune teller, the crystal ball is the most important part of the job.

Crystal balls that can be used for sensing are very expensive. It seems that Sally's family is not well-off and they can't even afford to buy new utensils.

Lorenwei recalled Sally saying that she wanted to earn some pocket money by writing articles.

Is it to supplement the family income? Lorenwei thought about Sally's clothes and appearance again.

It's a free student uniform that students can redeem, with only a few swordsman equipment items such as wrist guards and knee pads, but no extra cost for accessories or other items that girls should have.

Perhaps I was a little too harsh on her? Lorenwei felt a little uncomfortable.

"Are you doing well at school? Has anyone been bullying you?" the witch mother asked as she prepared the meal.

A native of Zerou City? Lorenwei detected a slight accent.

A shattered crystal ball...a witch...Ze Rou City...

Uh… Lorenwei swallowed hard, as if she had just remembered something…

It wasn't because the hero Mu Zhe had any ill-fated relationship in his previous life, but rather because Cardinal Ethers had done something good by chance...
