Chapter 108: Rejected
Kane didn't know what Hittani had said to those people, but when they came back they had a visibly more kind look on their faces than before, and they didn't speak as hateful as before.
Kane chatted with them for a few moments under Bethany's translation, almost all of them revolving around Bethany's mother's injuries, and Kane saw Bethany's eyes and could only say that it was a piece of cake.
Several people seemed to be somewhat satisfied with his answer, and finally agreed to let them stay temporarily, Kane and the others breathed a sigh of relief, but they also understood the thoughts in the hearts of these people, and I am afraid that they will use much more ingredients than friendliness.
After a while, I saw the woman on the bed wake up slightly, and the group ended the conversation, Betani hurriedly ran to hold her mother's hand, and tears began to flow again, although Kane couldn't understand their conversation, but he could probably guess the content, and several people silently retreated, believing that the reunited mother and daughter should have a lot to say.
Kane watched in front of the room for a while, and it seemed that Betani was right, the status of the men in this clan was indeed very low, and they hadn't seen a few since they came in, and it was all women who made decisions.
Leah came up to him, "I don't know why, I always feel like it's not safe here. β
Kane smiled, "There is no absolute safe place for us at the moment, although it is still difficult for the people here to accept us, but this is only temporary, I think they will understand us after a long time, of course we will also understand them." β
Leah shook her head, "I'm talking about the monster from before, and now that I think about it, it's really hard to imagine why these people can still live here." β
Kane couldn't help frowning when he remembered what happened before, "This is indeed a very dangerous point, the thing we saw floating on the circle before, if I guessed correctly, should be a spatial rift, and behind it is connected to another space that we don't know about, and that monster is from there, as for why there is a spatial rift here, this is also what I'm curious about." β
"There are a lot of other weird things, such as the huge and complex magic circle before, the spells used by the fox people, including the few hand-to-hands that Pytani played when we came in, I feel that their magic seems to be self-contained, completely different from what we practice. β
Leah smiled, "You don't want to stay because you want to steal other people's magic, do you?"
Kane shook his head and smiled, "It's not stealing, it's just borrowing, after all, there are still many differences between orcs and humans, I don't think their things may be suitable for humans, but it's definitely okay to borrow." β
Leah looked at him, "You haven't been with the Himir Magister for a long time, why are you so interested in these things now?"
"I've always been interested, but you didn't know me before, there are so many mysterious things in this world that we need to explore, and sometimes the more you learn, the more you feel as if you don't understand anything. β
Leah raised an eyebrow, "Are you laughing at me?"
Kane turned to look at her, "What do you think?"
Leah bit her lip, "I suddenly remembered something, I always wanted to ask you, the other day when I passed by your classroom, I heard a conversation between you and Mentor Himir, it seems to be about women, I want to know if you are also looking for this?"
"This..."Kane was speechless for a while, how could he forget about this, and quickly explained: "That's just a misunderstanding, in fact, we are exploring the problem of the true source of the five elements in the human body." β
"Is that right, in order to find out the true source of the five elements in the human body, so you go out every night to find a woman, and provoke Himir to roar in the academy all day long?"
Kane broke out in a cold sweat, "I really didn't go to find any woman, I swear it was definitely my first time with me... Hey, wait, you're not going to be jealous, are you? For whom? Bethany?"
Liya glanced at him, "Yes, people are so beautiful and have such a good figure, I think a woman would be jealous." β
Kane smiled, "Really? You mean you think Bethany likes me? Why don't I think I'm so attractive? But to tell you that, I think it's really like that, did you notice that she blushes when she looks at me?"
Leah slapped her forehead, "I thought you would be a little special, it seems that men are all the same, I don't want to talk to you anymore." β
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, but when he saw Bethany standing behind the two, Leah's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and she lowered her head and left.
Kane smiled and turned to Bethany, "Are you looking for me?
Bretani obviously heard something, and said with a flushed face, "It's my mother who is looking for you, and she looks weak now." β
Kane nodded, and as she entered the room, she saw that her mother had sat up, and when she saw the two of them enter, she looked at Kane with burning eyes.
It is undeniable that the fox people are really born beauties, and Betani and his mother are undoubtedly the best among them, and considering that even people like Leah are jealous, you can see how beautiful they are.
Bretani's mother looked like she was in her thirties, but that didn't detract from her charm, especially with a blue rune mark between her eyebrows, which made the woman look beautiful and eerie, giving people a sense of both charm and inaccessibility.
"You come to me, noble lady. Kane hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
Pentani's mother smiled, like a 10,000-year-old iceberg suddenly thawing, and an obsessive kindness suddenly appeared on her face, "This is not your human world, there are not so many rules, you can call me patriarch, what is your name?"
"My name is Wren, Wren Dolly, Patriarch. Kane then made up another surname, not surprised that she could speak a human language.
"Wren?" said Bretani's mother, "Centani has already told me about what happened, thank you for saving her." β
Kane smiled, "I don't know what Hitany said, but it's really just a coincidence, but it's because of this coincidence that we have seen the noble charm of the fox clan, and I want to say that I feel lucky to have met and saved them." β
Bretani's mother smiled, "You are very good at talking, and I am very grateful as Bethany's mother, but you may not understand where we are now, so as the patriarch, I have to think about my people." β
Kane nodded, "If the patriarch has any questions, just ask." β
"I've heard from Bethany that you're here not just to escort them back, so I want to know who you are and what you're facing. β
Kane paused before saying: "We are indeed temporarily hiding here because of some things, but I promise that we will not cause you any trouble, we have no malicious intent, I believe that time will prove, as for our identity and the reason for evasion, it is nothing more than a power struggle in the human world, I don't want to deceive you, so please forgive me for not telling you for the time being." β
"Oh?" said Bethany's mother, looking at Ratany with a hint of reproach in her eyes, "then you'll have to at least give me a reason to take you in, as those weren't enough." β
Kane pondered for a moment, "I may not be able to give you a satisfactory answer to this question for the time being, but I promise that our arrival will be beneficial to the nobles..."
"I want to hear something practical, it's not too much of a guarantee, although our fox clan is known as the wise man of the beast clan, but in the heart of you humans, I think you should have seen it, whether it is complex or dark, it is not something we can consider. β
Kane pondered for a moment before nodding with a gloomy face, "I see what you mean, and I'm sorry for the trouble I have caused you and your people. β
Bretani's mother smiled gently, "I'm sorry, you saved Bethany after all, and then helped us deal with the stone monster, so I can give you three days, I think it's enough for you to figure out how to deal with something, as for..."
"No, Mother, you can't chase them away, they're my saviors!" Bretani rushed up without waiting for Mother to finish, "and I've seen along the way, they're not bad people, are we going to treat our friends like that?"
Kane frowned and didn't speak, but listened to Bretany's mother say: "I think this kid named Wren understands this question better than you, as the future patriarch, I think you should think about the problem from a different perspective, friends are important, but this must be in the case of no conflict with the interests of the race." β
"I beg your pardon, Mother, that I did not find any trouble for the tribe by their presence, and without them, I, the future patriarch, would probably be no longer alive, and I wonder if it would have caused trouble to the tribe!" said Betani with a sense of urgency.
The woman's brows furrowed, and there seemed to be some anger on her face, "I only see that for their sake, you, the future patriarch, have begun to question the majesty of the current patriarch, do you think this is a problem." β
"I don't know, I just know that they are my saviors, and without them there would be no me, so if you insist on driving them away, I will leave with them!" said Bretani.
"You...!ahemβ" The woman was obviously angry by her words, and covered her mouth and coughed violently.
Kane hurriedly said: "Bethany, your mother is right, it seems that we do have to leave, thank you for believing in us so much, but as your mother said, our hearts are not something you can guess." β
Then he said to the woman, "Thank you for taking us in, we will stay for the night today, and we will leave early tomorrow morning." β
After saying that, he ignored Betani's retention, turned around and walked out.
Seeing that he came out with a gloomy face, several people hurriedly came up to ask what was going on, Kane told everyone about the conversation just now, and several people frowned.
The group has just experienced a life and death escape, and now they finally have a safe place, but they didn't expect it to evolve like this, after tonight, do they have to live a life of continuing to escape?
