Chapter 141 Colors and Lost Objects

With the "enthusiastic help" of her twin brother, Melanie couldn't escape the beating after all, and the beating was even doubled.

"Snapped!"

"oops!"

"Don't scream!"

She put her five slender fingers together and slapped Melanie's buttocks hard. Then, Anna twisted her delicate eyebrows and said with gritted teeth:
"How old are you? You've already learned how to frame someone!"

"I...I...I really wasn't setting you up!"

She twisted forward like a maggot, but was pulled back. Looking at her sister's face, which was redder than an apple, she felt that Anna's next attack would most likely be a critical hit, so she quickly argued:
"That religion teacher always says he's very pious, but he even said the color of the underwear the twelve knights wore when they were martyred was wrong. He must be faking his piety! It's reasonable for me to write to the church to question it!"

"You still said that!"

After three consecutive critical hits, Anna stacked up her attack speed and panted angrily:
"How can the scriptures contain such boring things! You are just talking nonsense!"

"Sister, Melanie didn't lie this time. The scriptures really say it."

Upon hearing this, William took out the Bible from his bag, flipped through it, and handed it over, explaining in a serious tone:
"Look, this passage contains the self-descriptions of the twelve knights after they were ordained... 'My spirit is white, so I follow white, wear clean clothes inside and a scarlet robe outside...'

Therefore, the clothes that the Twelve Knights usually wear should be white from the inside out. However, in order to show respect to the gods they believe in, they voluntarily downgrade their clothes and wear robes of other colors on the outside, but their underwear should still be white.

Although these are not directly written in the scriptures, if you are familiar enough with the text of the scriptures, you can actually guess them. "

"..."

This...did I make a mistake again?

Looking at William who was arguing, Anna couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and her voice was unconsciously lowered. She bit her lips and said:
"But...but this is not an orthodox question after all. Even if he can't answer white, it can't be used as a reason to report him..."

"No, the religion teacher gave the answer."

William shook his head and said:

"Although he was very angry, after looking through the scriptures for a while, he still said that the color of the Twelve Knights' underwear should be white."

"Then why are you still..."

“Because white is not the answer.”

After taking back the canon and flipping through a few pages, William pointed at the article above and said to Anna seriously:

"The question Melanie asked was not what color the Twelve Knights usually wore, but what color underwear the Twelve Knights wore when they were serving God and dying.

According to the scriptures, they first went through a three-month trial in the desert, and finally died just after leaving the desert. They had no time to change clothes in between, so their underwear had not been changed for three months, so it should be yellow. "

"..."

Looking at Anna, whose forehead veins were throbbing and whose pretty face turned pale, then red, then red, then purple, and finally purple with black, Melanie rolled over with her pants lifted up and jumped into Leon's arms.

"Big brother, save me!" No way! This is really impossible!
Leon dodged Melanie's pounce by leaning to the side, and twisted his body to avoid the arm that was hugging his thigh. He glanced at her with pity, and then wisely gave way.

Don't blame your brother for being unfair. Look at how angry your sister is. If I save you, she would probably even want to spank me. So you just have to take it obediently!
……

After a chaotic chase, Leon looked at Melanie who was beaten and crying for her parents, and thought that Anna's anger had probably been mostly released, so he stopped her.

"Okay, okay, take a break first and see how you breathe."

"I have to fight even if I'm panting!"

"Yeah, yeah, beat him! I definitely won't stop him this time! If you don't teach him a lesson, he'll go astray!"

Following Anna's instructions, Leon "scolded" Melanie a few times with a stern face, then he reached out and gently stroked Anna's back, helping her with her weak lungs to breathe evenly, and then asked in a gentle voice:

"But I'm a little pressed for time. I have to go to the bureau to work overtime soon, and it's very cold now... Dear Anna, can you take care of her later and find me two blankets first?"

"Just protect her!"

The sickly girl easily saw through Leon's trick and glared at him unhappily before struggling out of Leon's arms. She walked angrily towards the bedroom, opened the paint-chipped wardrobe with a creaky sound, and began looking for a blanket.

Giving Melanie a look that said "hide now", and watching her tiptoe into the inner room, Leon slowly followed her into the bedroom and comforted his sister who was squatting in front of the closet:
"You don't have to worry too much. Melanie is a little eccentric, but she never bullies anyone. She just has a tough personality and can't stand being wronged.

William is the same, a little bit mean but never hurts anyone, although they both make people worry, they are actually good children... Anna?"

"what?"

Anna seemed to be startled by Leon's words. She couldn't help but tremble slightly, and then she continued her actions. She turned her back to Leon, flipping the blanket in a hurry, and nodded repeatedly:

"Yeah... they are... indeed they are not bad people, but they are still not very sensible. They will be fine in the future... By the way, is a blanket enough? Do you want to bring another thick coat?"

"A blanket is enough. It's still quite warm in the bureau."

Seeing his sister's slightly flustered movements, Leon frowned subconsciously, and then asked directly:
"Anna, what's wrong with you?"

"nothing."

The sickly girl shook her head, turned around holding two folded blankets, and said with a slightly forced smile, "I just found out that I lost something, and I'm a little worried that I didn't bring it with me when I moved."

"That's it..."

If it were Leon a month ago, he might have been fooled by her words, but now Leon has long been accustomed to discerning other people's expressions. Even without using the black goat's soul vision, he can tell that Anna is obviously hiding something.

"Then you look for it first. If you can't find it, I can accompany you back to Veteran Lane in a few days and we can look for it together."

"Uh-huh."

After finding a bag to pack the two blankets, Leon walked out of the bedroom to the door, picked up the shopping bag on the shoe cabinet, and quietly touched the sheep's horns with his fingertips.

"Anna, the thing you just lost, is it the family photo of only you and your parents?"

? ! ! !
Looking at Anna's soul, which was instantly filled with fear and panic, Leon slowly put on his shoes and whispered softly in a gentle voice:
"Actually, my birthday isn't the day you told me. I may not even have a blood relationship with my parents. You're not my biological sister, right?"
