Time passed again. Another year passed. Anna was seventeen.
Anna practiced fighting more diligently than dancing, even day and night.
This year, she joined many mercenary regiments, and then took part in tasks such as hunting fierce animals and Warcraft.
However, she has never seen the world, nor experienced any wind and rain. In addition, Anna's fighting talent is completely day by day compared with her dancing talent. She can't look directly at it.
So this year, she suffered numerous setbacks, and even the rewards obtained from the task were deducted by the head because her level was too poor and didn't play a role in this task.
But as she grew up, Anna became more sensible. She didn't tell Colin about these hardships.
She still trains and lives with a smile and expectations of joining the hero League in the future. After each task, she will continue to dance at home to Colin.
Maybe her father will be her only audience in the future.
Colin sat there, beating his left hand on the metal and grinning. Today every week is his happiest moment.
Looking at Anna's smiling lips, Colin's regret that Anna doesn't study dance has faded. As long as Anna can be really happy, everything is good.
"Dad, how's it looking?"
Anna stopped dancing with a smile and kicked Colin.
"Nice, nice!"
Colin smiled and immediately asked with curiosity, "I feel that this dance seems to contain a feeling that has never been before. This feeling is very special..."
"Do you... Feel a magical color?"
Anna giggled and continued: "this is what I created according to those mage soldiers, while avoiding the attack of Warcraft and releasing the pace of the attack. Now I just touched some eyebrows... But dad is really powerful. I just merged a little, and you can see it."
Colin touched his black beard on his chin and said with a smile: "of course, Nana started dancing when she was four years old. Dad saw you dance for more than ten years and your fingers haven't turned up yet. I knew whether you wanted to turn up or down..."
Anna snorted and went over to pick up Colin's beard.
"It hurts... Don't say it, I won't say it... Ha ha..."
Colin was really in pain and happy. He was still happy while he was breathing in pain.
"Liar, you lied to me again. I didn't make any effort..."
Anna speechless let go of her fingers, then picked up the food on the table and said, "liar dad, I went up to read."
"Hehe, go, go."
Colin smiled spoiled. He knew that Anna was afraid of delaying her work time.
……
The next day, Colin smiled and prepared breakfast for Anna. Anna was going out.
"Where are you going to do the task this time?"
Colin asked as he helped Anna pack her food.
The underlying meaning is, how long will it take to get back from this trip.
"This task will be finished soon. I can come back tomorrow. I haven't forgotten that tomorrow is the birthday of Colin, the great repairman ~"
Anna smiled and lengthened the ending.
Colin's eyes showed a trace of comfort and joy, and deliberately said, "Nana, have you prepared any birthday gifts for Colin, the great repairman?"
"Of course... Yes..."
Anna deflated her mouth and began to sell.
Colin smiled and patted Anna on the shoulder. He didn't ask, but told her to pay attention to safety and so on.
Immediately, Anna went out with a smile on her lips, as if she thought of something happy.
Colin didn't care. As usual, he continued to repair waste metal parts. He planned to finish today's work quickly, and then go to the market to buy some good dishes.
Every time Anna goes out to do a task, it takes three or four days to return, and Anna can return tomorrow. Whenever she thinks of here, Colin is happier than her birthday.
Until the evening, Colin finally finished his deliberately reduced work today, and then planned to rush to the market.
Because it was getting late, Colin washed a little hurriedly, picked up a bag of silver coins and hurried out.
Just as Colin had just stepped out of the gate, he ran straight into the panic stricken aunt.
"What's the matter, so urgent..." Colin smiled.
"Ke... Colin..."
The aunt squatted down and gasped desperately. She couldn't speak for a few seconds.
"What's the matter? Speak slowly." Colin patted her on the back.
"Oh... Ollie... Anna, something's wrong!"
After calming down, the aunt finally said a complete sentence.
"Ann... Anna!?"
Colin immediately restrained his smile and stammered. As soon as he lost his purse, he pinched the aunt's shoulders.
"Say it! Make it clear, what's wrong with Anna, what's wrong!!!"
Colin was like a raging lion at this moment, and his fingers pinched the aunt's shoulder.
However, the aunt clearly knew her priorities, and regardless of the faint pain in her shoulder, she quickly said, "come on! It seems that a very special monster suddenly appeared in Pinot square. All her mercenary regiments were seriously injured, and Anna... Anna..."
Colin couldn't hear it anymore.
Anna is the worst in the mercenary regiment. How could he not know such a thing!
The worst strength... So Anna's ending
"No!"
Colin roared, then took a direct step and ran desperately to Pinot square.
In the past, the mercenary regiment only carried out tasks in the city, even outside the city, it was only nearby, so Colin didn't worry much, but now
Along the way, Colin had a trace of fantasy.
Imagine that Anna is just hurt. Imagine that she will bounce back home tomorrow.
"Hoo Hoo..."
Colin gasped desperately, sweating all over, but his running pace didn't stop at all.
Pinot square was not far away, and soon he saw a large crowd around it.
Colin pushed away the crowd and rushed into the innermost part.
At a glance, I saw the metal stretcher on the ground.
There were seven stretchers on the ground, six of which heard the groans of the wounded from time to time.
And the seventh
The seventh stretcher was placed alone in the last corner. It looked like nobody was interested. The people on it had been covered with white cloth.
Beside the seven stretchers, there were members of the mercenary regiment arguing loudly about something.
Colin couldn't hear what they said when the healer came and it was inappropriate to lift the injured again.
He saw only the seventh, the last stretcher that had been put aside alone.
With some kind of palpitation at the bottom of his heart, Colin trembled and walked towards the cold metal stretcher.
