"Huh?"

At the desk under the candlelight, Erin supported her head with one hand and looked at Liao Qi with her red eyes.

After listening to Liao Qi's last sentence, the girl gently hummed a syllable with the tip of her nose.

"What, am I wrong?"

"Do you think that with the strength of your human race, you shouldn't be classified as an inferior demon race?"

On the chair, the vampire girl folds her legs up and down.

Without extra boots and stockings, all that was left of Irene was two shapely and smooth thighs like snow lotus.

After the girl's words, the room suddenly fell silent, which made the originally faint sound of rain outside the window suddenly become obvious.

The wind mixed with the rain slapped on the glass, making a muffled "dong dong" sound from time to time.

This rainstorm looks like it's going to fall into the night.

"Ahh No, that's not what I meant. ”

Liao Qi was surprised by Erin's initial words for a while, which is why he waited so long before he spoke.

After finally coming back to his senses, looking at the girl sitting opposite, Liao Qi hurriedly waved his hand and denied it.

"We humans are very weak, and because of this, I think it's a bit exaggerated to even put the term "monster" on our heads. ”

Erin did misunderstand what she meant.

The reason why Liao Qi said that at the beginning, his focus was not on how many levels of demons human beings were.

But...

Humans, why are they considered to be members of the demon race?

You must know that in the original world view of the "Prayer" game, humans and demons, as the two largest races in this world, do not interact with each other for old age and death.

But as a result, now you tell me that humans have become part of the demon race?

It's strange if this doesn't make Liao Qi's jaw drop.

It was precisely because of this weirdness that Liao Qi couldn't help it, and took the opportunity to test it to see the reaction of Erin on the other side.

"Hmph, as long as there are intelligent creatures, they are beyond the category of wild monsters, are you questioning the rules set by the "Academy"? ”

Erin straightened up and lowered her crossed legs.

It seems that it was because of the mention of the word "academy" that the girl had no leisure, she changed her posture and stopped staring at Liao Qi.

"The Demon Islands, hundreds of monster races, one of you humans who are also recognized by the "Academy", will also send representatives to participate in the ranking battles of the previous sessions. ”

Erin pulled out an old piece of parchment that had been carefully preserved, full of words, and tinged with age, on the desk.

After that, her voice changed.

The girl scanned the information in the paper scroll and continued to say to Liao Qi:

"But as far as I know, all along, the ranking at the bottom of your human ranking battles has not changed."

"So..."

Erin turned her gaze back to Liao Qi.

"Do your best to help me, as long as we can get a good ranking in this qualifying battle, then..."

"It's not impossible for me to help your human representatives in the game."

After speaking, the girl stood up from the chair and continued to step on the floor barefoot, and she walked to Liao Qi's side.

Next, Erin handed the old parchment that she had been holding in her hand to Liao Qi.

Liao Qi glanced down and found that what was drawn on the paper was a map in the shape of an island, and there were many annotations on both sides of the map.

At this time, Irene's voice rang out in the room again.

"Well, would you like to accept this deal I proposed?"

However, before Liao Qi could reply, the girl said slowly:

"In this way, with my help, you humans have improved their ranking and have the right to obtain the resources of the island."

"Although I can't talk about it, I can let you humans rise here, but at the very least, it won't be like this, and even survival is about to be a problem."

After briefly explaining to Liao Qi the benefits that helping himself can bring.

The corners of Erin's mouth rose slightly, with a slightly confident smile, and finally asked Liao Qi:

"So, what is your answer?"

Not all monsters are proud of their race.

The sense of collectivity in the entire demon race is a very rare existence, and most of the monsters are only for the sake of continuing the offspring, so they have the theory of race.

But the demons who generally have this kind of emotion will eventually become one of the largest races in the archipelago.

Just like their Bloodline.

However, there is a very special exception to this.

And this exception is...

Mankind!

As a member of the hundred races in the Demon Islands, human beings are also qualified to participate in the ranked battle, although they have been the lowest cannon fodder in the past, but they are also opponents after all.

Therefore, it is not that Erin has not studied humans.

If you ignore their incredibly fragile bodies, ignore their inferior bloodlines that don't have any talent inheritance...

The most impressive thing about the girl is still the number...

They humans have a sense of community that is far stronger than any demon that Erin knows.

Even though he can't even eat enough, he still has to give the only food he has to children who are even more vulnerable than himself.

In order to allow a potential fellow clan to live, he was willing to sacrifice his own life.

And as a result...

In the first example, the mother dies, but her child survives, however, the life of an adult member is exchanged for the life of a young member.

In Erin's eyes, the deal was undoubtedly stupid and a failure.

As for the second example...

The so-called "potential" of the same clan in the other party's mouth, in the eyes of her Irene, almost randomly pick a vampire in the castle, even the worst, can be easily crushed.

It's a racial birth gap.

And sacrificing one's life just for an illusory possibility is really incomprehensible to Erin.

However, although she can't understand it, Erin also understands this characteristic of human beings.

They always have an incredible sense of community for their own people, especially when crises and disasters strike.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that this group of weak human beings can survive in the archipelago until now.

But alas...

For human beings, I'm afraid that even this kind of day will not be able to last.

It is by grasping this point that Erin is now very confident, and after listening to her words, the other side of her own family, who is also a human being, will definitely not stand idly by.

And if you want to save your own race, you must, and you can only rely on, she has strong strength!

Sorting out the plan in her heart, Erin's eyes flashed with a little smugness.

Of course, she can forcibly order Liao Qi with her identity as the master, but the girl also hopes that she can use her wisdom to make the other party sincerely take the initiative to obey her.

The results seem to be the same on the surface, but in reality they are very different.

In this way, Liao Qi finally spoke.

However, it was not a reply to Erin's question.

"What do you mean..."

"Even surviving is about to become a problem?" Liao Qi also frowned at Erin's last sentence.

"If you look at the back of the parchment, it will be clear."

Hearing that it was not the answer she wanted, the girl's eyes suddenly crossed a few traces of irritability.

But later, after noticing the unconcealable anxiety and even a little panicked look on Liao Qi's face, Erin knew that her judgment was indeed correct.

Therefore, in the future, she was still patient and continued to explain to Liao Qi:

"At the back of the parchment, the approximate number of various ethnic groups counted by the "Academy" is recorded, and you will not be unaware of the changes in your human race in the past few years. ”

After the girl spoke, Liao Qi immediately flipped his wrist and looked at the back of the parchment.

His eyes quickly scanned, and when he finally found it, the human column...

The numbers written above...

But it made Liao Qi's eyelids jump subconsciously in an instant.
