Chapter Eighty-Four: Sworn Enemies
Incurable...
Stupid?
Sofel, the goblin who had been standing with Liao Qi, naturally heard what came out of Liao Qi's mouth.
She looked at the young Lot, who had already picked up the goblin iron weapon, replaced the longsword, and rejoined the battlefield...
In Sofelle's beautiful eyes, in the dark, glowing with a little dark green fluorescence, there are constantly flashing different colors.
Unexpectedly...
This human clan who came out of the Blood Clan's castle, at that time...
It was really for this reason that his maid took the short sword.
Unlike Lot, Sophie, who has the entire academy and even the empire as the backing, naturally has knowledge and experience hundreds of times stronger than the indigenous humans on this small island.
Because of this, when Liao Qi picked out the short sword from the tent, Sophie actually felt it faintly.
But...
The fairy woman's pretty face showed a curious expression.
It's like I can't help it...
Sophie asked the human beside him, that is, Liao Qi:
"Why bother?"
"Huh?"
Eyes were taken away from the cave battlefield, and with Lott joining, the two-on-two goblins had no room to fight back.
The battle was out of suspense, and Liao Qi, who was completely relieved, didn't understand the problem of the academy demon next to him.
"Something like a weapon that doesn't fit..."
"If you had told Lott earlier, there wouldn't have been such an accident, and that little maid of yours wouldn't have to..."
Sophie's voice of explanation stopped only halfway through speaking.
Because when the fairy woman's gaze fell to the zero wound position, she found that the original long scratch was not only stopped by the bleeding, but even the traces were much shallower.
"Heh, it's really worthy of the original lady's family."
"Tsk, Liao Qi, you're going to be much inferior in comparison."
So try not to offend beautiful women.
Because once they are blacklisted, they will never let go of any of them, and they will take the opportunity to ridicule them.
Liao Qi rubbed his hair.
"Do you know anything about Zero?"
"Of course, after all, back then, the lady of the blood clan was the closest to the epic demon clan on the archipelago, how could our academy not pay attention to her."
Sophie replied with a smile.
"And Zero, as her family, is naturally in the ranks of our attention."
Although the words of this academy goblin sound normal...
But Liao Qi always felt that in the other party's tone, there seemed to be some mixed meaning, and the unknown meaning was in it.
It made him very uncomfortable.
Not...
Sure enough, there's still not enough intelligence...
With a sigh, Liao Qi casually pulled the topic back, he was never in a hurry about things that he was not sure of.
Maybe he could get some more information from the fairy woman's mouth if he asked.
But...
Sometimes...
The more you know, the better you get.
"yes, it's because I believe in Zero that I dare to do this, but now look..."
Liao Qi had a slightly angry expression on his face.
He shouted dissatisfiedly:
"It always feels like it's still too cheap, that bastard boy!"
"Damn! actually hurt such a beautiful maid as me, doesn't he know that the most unsightly thing about me is that there are beautiful girls being bullied in front of me! ”
Oh?
Raised his eyebrows, and when he heard this, it was estimated that the maid would only have a look of disgust on her cold face.
But the fairy woman at the moment, Sophie is interested.
"Then what if one day..."
"If you're going to fight against me, will you be able to do it?"
The academy goblin coldly gave Liao Qi such a remark.
After the woman's words, Liao Qi seemed to be very serious, and after looking at Sophie again, he said slowly:
"Hmm... Pretty aunt... Just, forget it, right? ”
"Huh."
The elf woman's eyes narrowed after experiencing a sudden rise and fall in her chest.
Sophie, who followed, said the most friendly words in the most kind tone.
"Can you please die on the spot?"
"Ahem, kidding, just kidding, if there is such a day, I still have to pray that you will spare my life, after all..."
Liao Qi paused when he said this.
In fact, sometimes, handsome men are also very vindictive.
He used the same tone as Sophie before, with some unknown meaning, and said:
"After all, no matter how you look at it, just by virtue of the huge difference in strength between the two of us, there is no suspense about the result at all, right?"
"Hmph, it's good to know."
Sophie frowned.
She could feel it, as if the other party's words sounded quite normal, but it seemed that there was something else in it.
However, just when she wanted to delve into the source of this feeling...
"Lord Liao Qi, the first wave of clearance work is complete."
"Three-headed little goblins, confirmed dead."
The maid was already returning from the battlefield, and on Zero's short sword, stained with sticky green blood.
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Liao Qi's words are sincere.
It seems that since he borrowed Zero from Erin, in every incident, the last person to be injured is always the maid.
And the main reason is basically because of yourself...
Well...
Although he was reviewing it in his heart, Liao Qi was still unwilling to let go of this opportunity, he couldn't let zero injuries in vain, at least he had to hurt them worthwhile.
Thereupon...
Looking through Zero's body, Liao Qi looked at the young man who was hiding behind the maid, bowing his head deeply, not saying a word, and the whole person exuded an atmosphere of decadence and self-blame.
He spoke:
"Lot, you can go back now."
"What... What the? ”
The young man raised his head sharply, and the guilt on his face quickly turned into incomprehension and surprise.
Facing the gaze cast by Lot, Liao Qi was expressionless and continued:
"Haven't you noticed that all your mistakes and mistakes, in the end, it is not you who bears the consequences, but your teammates who are stronger than you, and the blow with zero injury is for you."
"In other words, if Zero is not a demon, but a human like you, then I'm afraid, now you can only hold Zero's corpse and cry bitterly, right?"
Liao Qi spoke without mercy.
Because he knows that the kinder people are, the best punishment for them is not to let them be hurt, but to let the people they care about be hurt because of them.
Liao Qi didn't know how Lott would grow and change sharply in the future.
But he can imagine...
With the image of the ignorant impulsive and brainless teenager now, if you want to reverse it, what kind of grief and cruelty do you have to go through to fully awaken.
That taste...
It must be very uncomfortable.
"I... I..."
Lot clenched his fists, he wanted to say something, but whenever he looked at Zero standing in front of Liao Qi, he couldn't say a word.
The boy thought about it in his heart, if he replaced zero with Nana, if the person who sacrificed his life to save himself was the older girl who got along with him day and night and grew up together...
He...
I'm afraid you don't even have the courage to stand here, right?
Turned around silently, like a walking corpse, to Liao Qi's surprise, this young man, Lott really retreated cowardly and dejectedly.
He...
Don't dare to face your mistakes.
Liao Qi understood the young man's psychology in an instant, and it was precisely because of this understanding that he almost didn't faint.
That's it?
One-step...
One-step...
With the footsteps of the young man's movement, Liao Qi's brows furrowed even deeper.
He didn't say anything to keep Lott who was leaving.
Because at this time, only when the teenager defeats himself is the real awakening, otherwise, it is just a painful memory, and such a memory, the teenager is not lacking.
One-step...
One-step...
The faces of countless people in the village began to flash through the boy's mind.
Taught himself swordsmanship, like a mentor Uncle Nick...
Raised himself, his parents with the fondest memories of his childhood...
Gentle and considerate to himself.,I've always just encouraged his childhood sweetheart.,Now it's grown into a girl Nana, the head of the family...
Moreover, many of the villagers who had faith in themselves would save the only food they had left, even if they would rather starve...
I'm sorry...
I, Lot, might just be a...
Useless waste...
I'm sorry...
I...
I have failed you...
Tears swirled in the young man's eyes, it was precisely because he had borne too much kindness from everyone, like a huge burden, Lott felt that this time he was really going to fall.
But at this moment...
Suddenly, another face that was different, different from all the faces that had flashed in his mind before, the face of a young man of the same age as him, appeared in front of Lotter's eyes.
And this time...
There are not only images in my mind, but also voices in my memory.
"Don't try hard, anyway, no matter how we humans are, we can't surpass other demons."
"I advise you to give up, even if you endure hardship and exercise again, what can you do, in the end, it's not that even the strength of the head monster is not comparable."
"Cut, it's great to kill a wild monster, it's kind of to challenge a monster."
"What if you kill the monsters, don't forget, the demons are the strongest force on the island, and ten monsters are not as good as one demon, you are still far away!"
"Today I handed over the position of patriarch to a human family of the blood clan, and Nana also agreed, I said a long time ago, relying on other demons is the way for us humans to survive."
Cal...
Cal!
Could it be that he really went back like this, and then was laughed at again by this bastard?
No!
I've been doing it for so many years, and I've been able to slap that bastard in the face every time I've grown up.
This time myself...
This time myself...
Surely he could prove to Carl that his thinking was fundamentally wrong!
That's right!
Just like countless times before, he has done it, and this time, he will definitely be able to!
Lot can accept that he has failed the kindness of others, he can accept that he has disappointed the villagers, but the young man can't accept it...
It's the sworn enemy who has been laughing and sarcastic about himself since he was a child!
It's not about righteousness, it's not about faith, it's just...
For his own sake!
If his current self leaves, he is betrayed, and the former self who worked hard countless days and nights is a betrayal, and the former self who never gave up and has been fighting against the mortal enemy.
He...
He must not accept himself to compromise with this, the sworn enemy he spurns and loites the most in his heart!
Smack...
That's it...
The young man's steps that want to keep fleeing, retreating...
Stopped.
