Chapter 45: Questioning

Bai Yu and Feng Yi finally didn't appear in Ke Zhou's sight, but judging from the sound just now, at least the spirit bird called Bai Yu should have found its place.

If that's the case, your security level is immediately a little higher. It was likely that the bird had been lost before, resulting in a feeling of being alone for a long time. Of course, in fact, there are still Zhou Yu and Beibei by their side, and it can be regarded as making up for the lonely battle, which can only be said to be not so secure.

The carriage moved forward quickly, and Bai Yu's voice, including Beibei, seemed to be completely unaware, which really made Ke Zhou feel how powerful this spirit bird's magical ability was.

"Then again, little brother, where are you from? You don't seem to look like a person from the Northern Eagle Country, who doesn't know anything. It was Ute who spoke, and there was a bit of comic in his tone, which made Ke Zhou feel like a circus clown was talking to him.

Of course, he didn't realize that this man had already let his guard down in the first meeting and several conversations.

"I'm not from here...... If I have to say, I am from afar...... Travelers?"

"Then why are you staying here? Could it be that my sister was blinded and reluctant to leave?" asked Ute as he slumped in his seat. Beibei didn't stop these inquiries, on the contrary, she seemed to be willing to let the group of dragons behind her hear Ke Zhou's answers.

"I am Master Xiao Liu's apprentice, and I have come to study magic theory with Master Xiao Liu. met Ling Mei on the way, and escorted her all the way back here. Ke Zhou felt what Beibei meant, and began to answer seriously...... However, it is not so much a serious answer, but a special one for the next few dragons.

"Oh, how long have you been here?"

"About ...... Five or six days. ”

After getting this answer, Ke Zhou seemed to be able to feel the relief of Ute in front of him. He also began to understand that what this group of dragons had to do next might not be simple. In particular, the "War of Freedom" engraved on the stone tablet made him wonder if it was going to provoke some war.

Coupled with the various things I heard along the way, some dragons were controlled by cursed magic and became the mounts of dragon knights, or the relationship between dragons and humans. He had gradually gained some eyebrows about the whole affair.

"That's just a long time coming...... Well, don't you have any relatives here?" Ute's inquiry has begun to be targeted, and this kind of pertinence is like a reminder for Ke Zhou, reminding him that he is about to get to the point, and it also determines whether the next road is good or not.

"No, I'm just a student who studied with Master Xiao Liu. ”

"Master Xiao Liu you are talking about...... It's Xiao Liu, the theoretical space magician who is famous for the earthquake, right?"

"Yes. ”

Ute's tone is no longer as funny as before, but more and more straightforward, even giving Ke Zhou a feeling that the truth is about to come out.

"Xiao Sheng...... We know ...... too."

Xiao Sheng.

After hearing this name, Ke Zhou looked at Ute with questions. He actually cares a lot about the relationship between the names Xiao Liu and Xiao Sheng, but when he followed Xiao Liu before, he was not very easy to ask.

"I want to ask, Xiao Sheng and Master Xiao Liu...... What the hell is the relationship......

Ke Zhou's question was a little abrupt, but he really wanted to know about it. This can be said to be the most troublesome thing since he came to the other world, from the princess-like person in the palace, calling out Xiao Sheng's name, to writing Xiao Sheng's name in the textbook, and now this dragon called Ute has also mentioned this name.

"If you want to understand, understand that they are father and son...... Of course, this is not actually the relationship. But I suggest, you don't ask too much. Ute's words were very vague, he seemed to have given Ke Zhou some very important information, but this kind of information could not be interpreted by Ke Zhou until it was really needed.

"By the way, there's an interesting question...... What do you think of humans?" replied, asking one last question.

Listening to his tone, this should already be a decisive question, and when he asked, even Beibei next to him hugged his arm tightly, waiting for his answer. At this moment, he also understood that the previous question was just foreshadowing, and if there was really any answer that would determine his fate, it should be now.

He pretended to think about it for a long timeβ€”a trick he had always been used to, after all, it would make the other person feel that he valued the other person, and at the same time give himself some time to prepare. He's very good at dealing with these kinds of questions and can almost find the answers that his opponents want to hear.

He began to quickly synthesize all the information he had obtained before: the hostility of the dragons to humans, the enslavement of the dragons by the Northern Eagle Kingdom, the successive meetings, the direct attack on the central capital of the Northern Eagle Kingdom during the Beast Tide, the Northern North that might lie to him, and the Battle for Freedom. If there's any connection to all of this, it's that all of this points to a few keywords: Dragon Knight, Curse, Dragon Valley's ability to crack the curse.

Could it be ...... This group of dragons wants to take advantage of the gap between the human army leaving Zhongdu to support the beast tide, to destroy the cursed formation that controls the dragon that the dragon knight rides?

"There are many races in the world, each with its own definition, wise elves, manic orcs, nimble halflings, or other ......" Ke Zhou began, but it didn't start with humans, he slowly elaborated as he observed Ute's expression.

However, it is obvious that dragons that incarnate as humans do not have so many micro-expressions similar to humans. Therefore, he had no choice but to continue.

"I've searched through countless books, and in the end, I've only found a race that most resembles humans. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Ute seemed interested, and made a questioning voice.

"Demons. ”

Ke Zhou's words not only made Ute question, but also made Beibei a little weird. Even, on the carriage behind him, there was a very subtle questioning voice. Of course, everything he said was basically copied from everywhere, it could be an anime, it could be a novel, anyway, it's the sentences in it, just take it and use it.

"Humans devour all things without restraint, enslave living things, and destroy nature. For the sake of selfish desires, war, robbery, adultery, evil, killing animals to obtain fur, for decoration, extracting fat to make handicrafts...... Even the same race will fight for a small profit. Isn't this just human?"

Ke Zhou said something that he thought was a little strange, but at this moment, it was a last resort.

"Well, according to you, humans are indeed very much like demons. ”

But it's not just that, there is also goodness in human beings. ”

"Goodness?"

Ute, Beibei, and the dragons behind them never seemed to have heard such an answer.

"For example, they will go out of their way to save someone, they will go all out for the things they cherish, or they will die for what beliefs...... Humans are such creatures, too. ”

After Ke Zhou finished speaking, he hugged Beibei into his arms and did not continue, this answer should be able to be confused. Of course, although for him, it may have been just a temporary patchwork, deliberately pretending to be a far-reaching answer, but for Beibei, it reminded her of the moment when Ke Zhou sent her back to Dragon Valley.

Quiescence.

Ute seemed to be thinking about what Ke Zhou said, and Beibei leaned into his arms, his eyes closed, as if enjoying the time.

Finally...... It's over...... Ke Zhou thought so, let out a long breath, and just wanted to sigh at his wit.

But at this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
