Chapter 42: Forward

It's afternoon, the sun is still bright, and the afternoon is hot and humid, even though it's winter, but the direct sunlight still makes people sweat.

However, Bai felt cold in his fingers, and a chill rushed from the tail vertebrae to the back of his head.

"Goo...... "Gollum" swallowed in vain.

Her sister hid behind her, shivering, and the corpse in front of them fell to the ground, bleeding profusely, and the head was being carried by Nana in her hands.

"Sorry to scare you." Lu En walked out: "Nana, deal with the corpse, Bai, you and I have a while, don't you mind?" You can also say no, that's okay. ”

Bai looked at the head, trembled, and just wanted to refuse, but she thought about it for a while, drove her sisters into the cave, and said to Lu En, "Sir, where are we going?" ”

"Just find a place on the edge of the Blue River." Lu En said with a smile, with a nervous white, and walked into the distance.

On the banks of the Blue River, in late winter and early spring, the frozen rivers have also begun to thaw, at least in the Larante area, which is now a bit of a prototype of spring.

Lu En looked at the situation of the Blue River, looked at the surrounding woodland, and then slowly said, "This land, there is also the other bank

In a short time, maybe a week or so, it will become mine. ”

Bai opened his mouth slightly, but immediately closed it again, obviously considering his words.

After thinking for a while, she asked cautiously, "What about ...... Sir is ready to let us out of here? If you have to, a lot of people will die, sir, and it will make you lose money. ”

She didn't directly say that she would let Lu En give in, but just analyzed the reason why she would lose money here, and wanted Lu En to give up by herself.

"You see, it's all monster hybrids here, so it's not a good place to build a farm or a manor."

"And it's easy to not be able to recruit people, and if you want to find workers and craftsmen, few people will be willing to come and work, and even slaves will be less efficient because they are afraid."

"It's also a long way from the city, and if you use horse-drawn carts and manpower to sell what you produce to Larante, the cost will be high, and the price will not compete with other people."

Bai analyzed a series of things, and finally looked at Lu En: "Sir, this is really not a good choice, it is for you to buy this land...... Not too good. ”

Lu En smiled, but did not refute, but continued: "Although there are many disadvantages, there are also many benefits. ”

"This place, the United Chamber of Commerce and the Hall of Glow are difficult to meddle into, because the monster hybrids are not trusted and will not be reused by either side of the parties, so they will not cultivate the spies of the monster hybrids before that, if I am here, I can put an end to their prying eyes, don't you say it's very profitable?"

"......" Bai couldn't answer, she was just a child, and it was too difficult for her to keep up with Lu En's train of thought at this time, accurately refute his words, and then persuade him to give up buying land here.

"But...... But, sir, we live here......" At last, she could only think of this one statement.

They live here, and there is no way to move away directly, almost everyone here has no ability to move, even if it is just a place to live, it is not what their financial ability can afford, if they are really driven out of here, then I am afraid that many people will really die, and few places will be willing to accept so many monster hybrids.

Bai was very worried and scared, she desperately thought about how to persuade the big man in front of her, the other party was a good person, and a good person should have the possibility of persuasion.

However, the idea that had just popped up was immediately dispelled by itself.

If the gentleman is really a good person, then he has just ...... It is impossible to kill people, and if you kill people, there is no burden at all, and Bai suspects that if he makes too much noise, his head is estimated to be unable to remain.

Thinking of this, Bai couldn't help but glance at the cave behind him, although he couldn't see it because he was far away, but ...... The sisters are there.

Just when Bai's mind was full of thoughts, Lu En found a stone by the river and sat down, looked at Bai, and said softly: "I know, it's because you live here that I chose this land." ”

Bai was a little confused and puzzled, but didn't know how to ask.

"Speaking of which, what race are your monster hybrids mixed in? Your mother must be a monster hybrid, right? But your two younger sisters seem to have a larger proportion of monster blood. Lu En continued to ask.

"Hmm...... I have a quarter of monster blood, my mom said it was ...... Is it a moon wolf? I don't remember exactly, but at this point, I'm no different from a human being, so I can blend into the city. Bai quickly replied.

"A quarter...... Lu En nodded, this answer was expected, Bai did look like a very thin bloodline, not as good as her sisters, so when her sister grew up, she would be stronger than Bai in combat.

However, it's not much stronger, more monster bloodlines do strengthen the body, and even some half-demon bloodlines are born with level 2 or 3, but only high-level monsters, only high-level monsters are born strong, such as Nana, she can become a professional in a harsh environment because of her monster bloodline.

More ordinary monsters themselves are not stronger than humans, and there are even weaker than humans, such as the white moon wolf, this kind of werewolf-like monster can be easily solved by only a level 1 combat professional, even if she is a pure-blooded moon wolf, it will not change anything.

Monsters are not stronger than humans, but on the contrary, humans can become professionals more easily because of their learning ability, so the overall strength is much stronger than monsters, only a few high-level monsters can overwhelm humans in strength, but the number is also extremely rare, and the geniuses in the human race are enough to resist or even overwhelm these high-level monsters after they grow up.

Weakness is an important reason why monsters are now in a humble position.

"Do you think you're a monster or a human?" Lu En asked coldly.

Bai was even more confused, and while thinking about how to persuade Lu En, she answered his question: "I think...... I don't know, I'm definitely not human, but I don't know if I'm a monster, and if I go to the monster's side, I might be eaten. ”

She said this as she said it for granted.

"Life always needs identity and purpose, people without a sense of belonging have no fighting spirit, after all, they don't even belong, what else is worth fighting for? I see you're working hard, and you don't feel like you don't belong. Lu En said.

Bai lowered his head: "Words of belonging...... It certainly wasn't on either side of monsters or humans, I guess...... It's supposed to be home, sister, it's the motivation for me to live, my mother was very miserable when she was alive, I always thought about it...... At least I can't let my sister live like my mother. ”

"Have you ever thought that one side of the monster, or human, would suddenly accept you? so that you will no longer suffer this kind of suffering. Lu En said.

Bai sneered: "How is that possible?" ”

"Of course it is." Lu En answered, and then, he stood up, stretched out a hand, and said to Bai.

"That's why I'm going to buy this land, I'm going to accept you, monsters, I'm going to accept you, and from now on, you're no longer lonely wanderers, you're going to be my people, and here's my land."

Lu En's tone was solemn and he said suddenly.

Bai's eyes widened, she understood, this was Lu En's answer to why she wanted to buy the land here, and this ...... made her suddenly have gratuitous and ethereal associations.

"You...... Sir, are you? She couldn't help but stutter a little.

What answered her was Lu En's voice that did not hesitate.

"I'm the Demon King."

He revealed his identity, because tonight, he was going to use white to break into the middle of these monster hybrids.
