Chapter 121: Night in the Woods

"Whew...... I didn't expect that there would be a chance to brush up on copies tonight. In the empty treehouse, Sivi's figure suddenly flashed. He took off his somewhat torn mage robe and took out another spare piece from the bronze storage box.

Just now in the [Sand Pirate Stronghold], he lured a large number of lizardmen together, and then launched the Radiant Flame Burst, successfully clearing them out, and then drank the magic potion to pick out the dungeon boss Lizardman Warrior.

Maybe it's because there are too many junior brothers, and the combat effectiveness of the lizardman warriors who don't need to do it themselves is not very good, and the crusade level is only there at the eleventh or second level.

However, as the first time he cleared the customs, and he cleared the copy of [Sand Thief Stronghold] in a very short period of time without injury, the system gave him an A-level assessment, and got a few pieces of equipment that could be used and a certificate of strength.

However, considering that brushing this dungeon consumes a lot of mana potions, Xiwei only went to brush [Night Forest] twice after that? Center], and bought some supplies and a few pieces of equipment with average attributes.

Although that because of [Second School District?] Inaugurate? The [Star Sea Ruins] that appeared in the preliminary preparation] task has not yet been played, but Xiwei always feels that it is better to wait for himself to become stronger before going, anyway, it will take a while to collect resources, but there is no need to rush at this time.

In addition, what surprised him was that because the total number of goblins that died in his hands exceeded the five thousand mark, the system generously gave him a title.

[Title: Goblin Mortal Enemy]

[Title Color: White]

[Title Effect: When equipped, the damage to all goblin creatures is increased by 100%, and all goblin creatures within a radius of one kilometer will fall into a state of rage and launch an attack on the wearer at any cost.] 】

[Unlock Condition: Kill 5,000 Goblins of all types]

[Notes: 'Hmph.'] Hehe, haha! My hands are covered in blood! …… It's just that they're all goblins. —BY Guards of Sharan City]

Well, Sivi himself didn't really like the seemingly frustrating title.

"It's time to sleep." After stretching, a satisfied Sivi was ready to go to bed.

However, just as he was hesitating whether he should take a blanket out and cover the bed of this treehouse originally made of unknown plants, he vaguely noticed that not far from the window, there seemed to be a person.

He pressed his face against the window—the treehouse's window had no glass, but a vegetative film that resembled plastic sheet—and carefully identified the figure. Then it turns out that it seems to be Alice.

It was already late at night, and the sound of insects chirping sounded in the forest from time to time.

Although Niradi Village is a village built on trees, many places can be so sparse that one wonders if the canopy was pruned by the villagers themselves. See the stars in the sky.

Unlike the earth's galaxy, the starry sky of this world looks like a lot of whirlpools, with the blue moon dotted around. Lined with the surrounding leaves, there is a different kind of beauty.

The astronomical level of this world is naturally not as good as that of the earth, but most of the stars that can be observed by the naked eye have their corresponding names and magical meanings, and the so-called astrology is the study and exploration of this kind of knowledge.

Alice sat on a branch with her knees folded, looking at the night sky with a somewhat lonely face.

Her kindness was not conveyed to the child named Velon, and the boy's sad and desperate eyes made the kind girl feel heartache, but there was nothing she could do.

"Can't sleep?" A familiar voice suddenly interrupted the girl's thoughts.

She looked back and saw Sivi hastily draped in a mage's robe, strolling over to her. He smiled gently and asked her, "Can I sit here?" ”

"Yes. If Lord Xiwei thinks......" The girl nodded, because of the previous incident, she was a little unsure of how to face Xiwei.

…,

"It's back to that." As if he didn't care, Sivi sat down next to Alice and looked at the dark sky: "Shouldn't you call me teacher now?" ”

"I'm sorry." Alice bowed her head. Apologize softly.

"So just call me teacher, no need to apologize."

Sivi looked at the girl with some amusement and said softly. After all, this is not like the wilderness, there are traps and alarms set up at several entrances to the village, and there is no need for people to keep vigil. In the middle of the night, everyone else is estimated to have fallen asleep. If you talk loudly, you may be noisy with others.

"I didn't apologize for that reason." Maybe it's because Xiwei's attitude is too natural, and the girl is a little relaxed: "On the eve before, I didn't listen to your words and did that kind of thing without permission......"

When she said this, the girl's expression became a little depressed again.

Sivi was also a little helpless.

As he and Sophia said, he didn't hate kind people, and even because Alice unconditionally helped Theo in the mountain city of Govin Hora, Sivi offered to accept her as his student after seeing the other party's magical talent.

However, good people also tend to be more susceptible, and many times this can cause unexpected losses.

Kindness and self-interest, this almost forms a contradiction that is difficult to reconcile.

So, is it to persuade the girl to give up kindness and innocence and become selfish?

After thinking for a few seconds, Sivi came up with his own answer.

"Alice, do you really feel like you're doing something wrong from the bottom of your heart?" He asked the girl, "Tell the truth." ”

The girl who was about to speak was choked by Sivi's words, and after thinking about it for a while, she shook her head with a determined expression, and her golden hair danced with her movements.

"Will you continue to comfort that child?" Xiwei looked at the girl's clear eyes and asked solemnly again, "Even if he will become more lonely after we leave?" ”

"Yes." This time, the girl, who had already made her mind clear, nodded without hesitation.

It is because of this unblemished kindness that she has become the most popular person in the mountain town of Govin Hora.

"In that case, just do what you want." Sivi touched the girl's hair, and a smile appeared on her face again.

"Huh?" The girl blinked twice, her eyes wide, revealing an incredibly cute expression.

"Sooner or later, I will become the number one dean in the mainland." Xiwei looked at the girl's somewhat dumbfounded expression, and the smile on her face became even brighter: "So the dreams of the students, as well as the land of the academy, are guarded by me!" You just have to do what you want to do and don't let kindness and courage disappear. ”

This wasn't presumptuous, and when he was in the treehouse, Sivi thought a lot about it.

Although he said that he wanted Alice's kindness to hit a wall and make her understand the cruelty of reality, he didn't like the girl's enthusiasm and kindness to disappear like that.

In that case, then we can only do our best to transform the girl's kindness from a disadvantage to a favorable condition.

In fact, good people who are full of goodness in their hearts are easier to control than those who do what they want. As long as Xiwei pays attention to guidance, nothing bad should happen, and it can even add a lot of glory to the academy.

That's why he says things like, 'Do what you think.'"

"Sivi ...... Teacher. The girl looked at Xiwei, and her face was not like the previous feeling of timidity, but extremely firm: "I will never forget!" ”

Sivi didn't answer, but fell back with a smile on his lips, and lay on his back on the branch, looking at the stars in the sky.

At this time, he was just admiring the starry sky, and suddenly found that there were other tree houses hidden in the canopy on the upper branches quite far from here.

…,

He jerked to his feet and began to look at the canopy of trees around him.

Although it was well hidden by those leaves and branches, Xiwei, who was used to playing with everyone to find faults, soon found several treehouses that looked like they had been abandoned, and I believe there were many more that had not been discovered.

Judging from the previous conversation with the village chief, although there were many dead people in the village this time, when the empty house was allocated, it was found that the empty house was one less than the number of people in Xiwei and his party, and in the end, it was only by letting Alyssa and Tio squeeze in one room that the problem was barely solved.

So at that time, why didn't the village chief let them go to live in a higher treehouse?

And if you expand the idea a little further, and there are villages of this size in the places where those treehouses are located, then I am afraid that the former Niradi Village is not a small village at all, but a large settlement!

Is it because of a plague or something that killed the people in the other settlements, so you can't even use the house? But why haven't the residents moved here? This explanation is still a bit too far-fetched.

Speaking of which, Gauss also said that their village is generally forbidden for strangers to enter at will, although it feels similar to that of an ordinary village, but you must know that Gauss refused under the pressure of Sivi at that time, which in itself is enough to explain some problems...... So will this custom of forbidding others to enter also have something to do with those abandoned treehouses?

No, in a general sense, it's already strange for even a jungle dweller to build their house on a giant tree, right?

"Mr. Xiwei, what's wrong?" Seeing that Sivi suddenly stood up and looked around and lowered her head in contemplation of the strange behavior, Alice tilted her head and asked strangely.

"Nothing." Sivi rubbed his forehead and sat down.

Alice is a girl who can't hide her thoughts, and telling her about her discovery of other treehouses will soon be discovered by others, so Sylvie decides to keep it a secret.

Although some speculation came to his mind, Sivi was not sure. In the end, I could only decide to wait until Sophia got up tomorrow and then discuss it with her.
