Chapter Twenty-Nine: Matters of the Heart

"Miss Merlin, continue the conversation and tell us about the beasts on the island," Roland called out to Merlin and asked directly.

"Well," Merlin nodded, and began to speak, "I just said that, right?" In the depths of that forest, there is indeed a huge monster! ”

"Yes......" Roland said without grinning slightly, what can be called a monster, it has to be at the level of Waji, right?

Wrong! You can't be too happy, after all, the other party is just a girl who looks like she is only a teenager, and she may see things from a different angle than herself, so you have to ask more clearly.

Roland continued, "Have any of you here seen it? I would like to ask for something more specific. ”

"I've seen it before," Merlin chuckled, but Roland always felt that the smile was a bit far-fetched, not knowing if it was her own delusion.

And, to be honest, Roland was still a little stunned when he heard this, but he quickly adjusted again, "I'm sorry, it's a little out of shape, it's just, I'm a little curious, didn't that monster hurt you?" ”

"No," Merlin shook her head, "it doesn't eat people, otherwise our village would have been destroyed by it." ”

"Well......" Roland muttered for a moment, then spoke again, "Then why do you call it a monster?" ”

"Because it's really scary!" Merlin couldn't help but say a little louder, "The head alone is as big as a house!" Especially those two huge horns, which can easily knock down a tree! ”

"Uh- according to you, isn't my Waji a monster too?" Roland said speechlessly.

"Isn't it?" Merlin tilted her head and said with a look of course.

Roland grinned when he heard this, "Do you think my Waji can understand what you say?" ”

Merlin's face froze, "That, anyway, Waji is different, it saved us, so it's a good monster." ”

"That's a monster too, right? If you say that, Waji will be sad," Roland continued, of course, just joking, Waji was still reminiscing about the food he had just eaten, and he didn't have time to talk about what Roland and Merlin were talking about.

"That, that...... I didn't mean to......" Merlin began to sweat on her forehead, and her words were a little difficult to speak.

"Okay, I won't bully you, Waji won't mind," Seeing this, Roland patted her shoulder with a smile and changed the subject, "In which direction is that monster?" If the head is like a house, it should be bigger than Waji, right? I am very interested. ”

"Are you going to look for it now?" Merlin asked rhetorically, and from her look, Roland felt that something was not quite right.

However, he nodded, "Of course, this is a good opportunity to practice, and we don't have anything else to do." ”

"Well, I'm fine right now, can you take me with you? So that I can show you the way," and sure enough, Merlin's words were completely unexpected.

"We're here to fight, but we can't take you with us," he quickly shook his head, although Mei Lin said that it doesn't eat people, but it doesn't know the specific strength of the other party, how can it be possible to take her on an adventure with him?

And, even if it weren't for this, he didn't want to reveal his identity as a slime, after all, if the monster was worth hunting, he didn't have any intention of just defeating it and not hunting.

Mei Lin still looked at Roland with a firm face, "I will protect myself, please rest assured!" ”

"No, I don't understand, why do you have to go with you?" Roland wondered.

"Because I'm curious, if you fight that kind of monster, the scene must be spectacular, right?" Merlin couldn't help but show a yearning expression as she spoke.

"Curiosity kills the cat, if it's just because of this, then you better not go, even if you don't tell me where it is, it's fine, it's a big deal, I'll ask someone else," Roland said coldly, his intuition told him that the other party should be hiding something.

"......" Merlin fell silent.

Seeing this, Roland slowly got up, and he was about to go and ask the others.

"Over there!" Suddenly, Merlin's voice rang out, and she pointed in a direction, "Keep going that way, about half a day's journey, and you will see a bush, and the monster is nearby." ”

"Thanks," Roland smiled and jumped directly onto Waji's shoulder, "Let's go." ”

Vaji answered, and walked slowly in that direction.

"Roland!" Suddenly, Merlin stopped him.

"Huh?" Roland looked back at her, "Anything else?" ”

"If you manage to defeat it, can you ...... Could you please kill it? Merlin bit her lip after speaking, her eyes a little evasive.

"It seems that your relationship with it is indeed more than one-sided," Roland smiled slightly, "I don't know what the reason is, but don't worry, if you can do it, I will help you." ”

After saying that, Roland patted Waji's head lightly, and Waji moved on knowingly.

Behind them, Merlin looked at the tall Waji and Roland, who was sitting on Waji's shoulder, with a deep expression on her face.

After a while, she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, turned and walked towards the house, let's go on working, the dress just now was only halfway knitted.

……

Half an hour later.

Roland and Vaji were making their way through the woods.

Although the ultimate goal is the monster who doesn't know what it is, Roland and the others are not idle on the way, after all, there is still a lot of space in the huge basket behind Waji.

At sea, there is almost no food except fishing, and Vaji eats a lot of food, and collecting food is actually no less important than looking for the monster.

While collecting food and moving forward, Roland and Vaji also chatted from time to time.

"Waji, what do you think is going on with that girl? Obviously, it looks quite simple and simple. ”

"What's on your mind?" Waji said with a confused face, to be honest, he didn't actually listen to the conversation between Roland and the villagers.

"It's the one named Merlin, who has always wanted to come with us, and at first used the flimsy excuse of curiosity, but, judging from her last words, the reason why she wanted to come with me must be to see us kill that monster with our own eyes," Roland paused, "But, what is the reason, if you have a grudge against that monster, wouldn't it be better to tell us directly?" ”

"......" Waji did not speak.

"But she said that the monster doesn't eat people, so what kind of revenge will there be? It's really strange," Speaking of this, Roland suddenly became a little puzzled, "Waji, why don't you speak?" ”

Vaji scratched his head, "I don't understand what you're talking about......"
