    On the night his mother passed away, the cold wind blew through the entire Soran Vige. Estelle used a strap to tie his young sister to his back and held his confused brother’s hand as the three of them struggled through the entire Soran Vige against the strong wind. When they arrived at the entrance of the vige, they knocked on the old vige chief’s door.


    The old vige chief opened the wooden door, but his sight was blinded by the sea breeze. After he recognized Estelle, he asked him in surprise, “Estelle, it’s sote. What are you doing at my house?”


    The old vige chief didn’t have a deep impression of Estelle, and he hadn’t spoken much to him before tonight. He had the impression that this child was very quiet and low-key. He always followed his mute mother around to do farm work.


    The sound of Estelle’s voice blew into the old vige chief’s dpidated house along with the sea breeze. He said, “Vige chief, I’m afraid that the demon beasts will eat my siblings. Can you help take care of them for the night?” This was the first time the old vige chief had heard Estelle speak.


    Surprisingly, this little fellow was very polite.


    This was rare among the children of Soran Vige.


    Not many children in Soran Vige knew how to use honorifics. Most of them spoke vulgarly and it was obvious that they had grown up in the slums.


    The old vige chief btedly remembered that Estelle’s mother was from the


    Dark Night City. It was said that she had once gone to school and was a ‘hope person’ , but because sne didn’t awaken ner beast torm, sne nad noomce but to drop out of school. Logically speaking, she, who was quite beautiful, should have been able to marry a ‘hope person’ or a ‘seed seer’. However, for some reason, she married into the most barren and backward Soran Vige.


    After the old vige chief finished recalling things, he asked Estelle, “Where’s your mother?”


    The child said, “My mother just died.”


    The old vige chief was stunned.


    He suddenly remembered that in the past month, he had rarely seen here out to work.


    Unexpectedly, she had already died.


    “My condolences.” The Lukas family had long lost their male head of household, and now that their mother was dead, they left three young children without anyone to take care of them. As the vige chief, the old vige chief couldn’t reject Estelle’s request.


    The children were so young, so they probably didn’t know how to deal with Madam Lukas’ body.


    The old vige chief said, “You guys can stay at my house. I’ll find someone to bury your mother.”


    However, Estelle said, “I can do it myself. Vige Chief, please take care of my siblings for me tonight.”


    “You can do it?” The old vige chief was very skeptical.


    “I can.” The child had his own stubbornness.


    “Alright…”


    Estelle left his brother and sister at the old vige chief’s house while he walked towards their house at the end of the vige with difficulty. As the old vige chief stared at his petite back figure, he couldn’t help but shout, “Estelle, how are you going to settle your mother’s funeral?”


    The child actually said, “I want to make her body into a guardian bell and nt it at our door.”


    The old vige chief looked stunned. Then, he reprimanded Estelle sternly in a condemning tone, “That’s your mother. How can you turn her into a guardian bell?!”


    The so-called guardian bell was to dig out the internal organs of the dead and mix them with the reefs in the ck Sea with the ck Seawater before pouring them into the bodies of the dead. After a night, the dead would turn into a reef statue without human consciousness and be the guardian bell of the family.


    Generally speaking, the elves would only turn their enemies into guardian bells when facing their nemeses.


    In this world, how many people were willing to turn their family members into guardian bells?


    The old vige chief never expected Estelle to be so ruthless at such a young age.


    Upon hearing the old vige chief’s condemnation, Estelle turned around. In the night, his dark eyes seemed to be glowing.


    His lips quivered as he told the old vige chief in a calm tone. “I’m just a child. I can’t protect my siblings at all. I’m afraid that one day, when Ie home from work, I’ll see my siblings eaten by demon beasts. My mother is already dead, so making her into a guardian bell that can protect our family.” “Vige Chief, I love my mother, but the three of us have to continue living.”


    “I have to.”


    The old vige chief wanted to retort Estelle, but he felt that this child’s choice was the right one..
