My Frostmourne can't be so cute

"Paul, you take a few people over there first. After all, there is a forest. Maybe there will be some beasts."

Ma Long ordered.

"Understood, Chief Lothar."

Paul nodded, then picked up his spear, greeted a few comrades in the West Springs Garrison, took off their lower/body armor, rolled up their trouser legs, took off their boots, and headed towards the Irvine River. Wading across the water.

Malone looked at Paul and the others nervously. Although there were no wind and waves on the Irvine River, the water surface was very stable, there had been no rainfall in the past few days, and the river was also very shallow, but it was related to the future of hundreds of people, and Malone was still a little nervous.(To be continued.)

But no accident happened—Malone’s estimate was right. The Irvine River is indeed very shallow in this basin, and even in the center of the river, the water level is just as high as Paul’s thigh.

As he passed the center of the river, Paul didn't forget to turn his head and waved to Malone—this was telling him that there was really no danger here.

Seeing that Paul and a few soldiers from the West Springs Garrison arrived on the opposite bank of the Irvine River smoothly, and they had begun to wring out the water marks on their pants, the hearts of Malone and Elro Eberlock were finally able to let go. .

"Tell everyone to speed up, and we will help."

Malone said to Elro Eberlock, then turned and walked towards the crowd waiting to cross the river.

The river water just below the knees is not a problem for most adults. As for the shoes, socks and trousers that may get wet, no one cares about it anymore.

The point is that there are still some children in the camp. Although there are only a few of them, these children are completely unable to wade across the Irvine River alone.

Coming to the center of the crowd, Ma Long found a young mother with a child; there was no man around the young lady/woman. She held her daughter's hand nervously, and looked helplessly at the Irvine River ahead.

Although Elro Eberlock said that men should help women and children, he did not make specific assignments after all, and the young mother did not know how to ask for help—everyone around him seemed to They are all busy.

"Give me the child!"

Ma Long walked to the young mother's side and spoke softly.

"Lo...Sir Lothar?"

Obviously, the young lady recognized Ma Long's identity. She opened her eyes wide and whispered in surprise.

"Well, did I scare you? Sorry, I just want to take this child across the river."

Ma Long tried to make himself look kinder, and smiled and said to the young woman.

"That's...that's so thank you, Sir Lothar, I..."

The young mother repeatedly thanked her, feeling helpless for a while.

"No need, this is what I should do."

Ma Long smiled, then leaned slightly, and hugged the little girl who was following his mother and was looking at him curiously.

"Come on with you too, can you cross the river by yourself? Are there any other family members? By the way, I'm sorry to ask you so late, your name is...?"

Ma Long walked to the river with the little girl, turning his head and asking the young lady/woman who followed him.

"I... My name is Vera, Sir Lothar, don't worry about me, I'm fine, this child... Her father was when the orcs attacked Stormwind... Only the two of us were left to depend on each other."

The young lady named "Vera" quickly answered Ma Long's question.

"That's it... I'm sorry..."

This body's original memory made Ma Long follow the habits of the people of Stormwind and said guiltily.

"No... it doesn't matter, I really want to thank you, Sir Lothar, if it weren't for you, this kid and I don't know what to do..."

With tears in Vera's eyes, she felt a deep sense of powerlessness when she thought of her deceased husband and her young daughter.

"Everything will be fine, trust me, it will."

Malone comforted Vera, then took off his boots by the river.

Embracing the little girl and stepping into the Irvine River, a refreshing coolness rose from the soles of Ma Long's feet and spread to his whole body, making him so comfortable that he couldn't help but shiver.

"Damn!"

Vera also took off her shoes, held them in her hands, and then took her skirt up and stepped carefully into the river. She was shocked by the cold water and couldn't help but let out a scream.

"Mom, are you okay?"

At this moment, the little girl in Ma Long's arms asked milkily.

"Mom is fine, Maria, don't move, we will be able to cross the river soon, you know?"

Vera quickly comforted her daughter and said to her with a smile.

"Ok!"

Maria nodded obediently, then leaned her limp body on Malone's shoulder and stared at her mother reluctantly.

"Maria... is this your name?"

Ma Long walked forward while teasing the little girl who was carved and carved.

"Yes!."

The little girl nodded and replied obediently; the rounded chin rested little by little on Malone's shoulder, which was really interesting.

"Maria, do you want to play in the river?"

When he reached the center of the Irvine River, Malone stopped. Looking back, many people on the shore had already been in the water, and they were walking towards the opposite bank behind Malone.

The cool river water can refresh tired travelers, and it is the same for these refugees.

The riverbed of the Irvine River is covered with colorful pebbles of different sizes, and these pebbles have become extremely smooth and round in the scouring of the river for many years.

Indeed, they are easy to slip under the feet of refugees, but they are better than stepping on mud that has been accumulated for many years.

Those adults are a little better. Everyone knows the current situation, and the smiles on their faces are always constricted; but the children are different. Malone also noticed Maria's excited eyes before asking the question just now.

"Hmm! Think!"

Maria's small body arched in Malone's arms, and then replied loudly.

"So...it's a shame. This time, Maria can't play in the river, understand?"

Ma Long said to the little girl.

"Oh……"

Maria still replied obediently, but this time, her face was obviously full of reluctance.
