Chapter 323 The Temperament of Children
Seeing Charlene talking to herself openly and honestly, Nick was also happy.
He turned to look at Charlene, and said with some emotion: "Because you are partial!" What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is it worth your big night to open a small stove? Obviously, there are many people whose strength is stronger than him! As he spoke, he glanced at Xiaoxin very dissatisfied.
But Xiaoxin was just silent and didn't speak. It seems that in his heart, he is actually very clear about the attitude of other children towards the matter of Charlene opening a small stove for himself. I've probably been ridiculed by other children on weekdays. But he never said these things to Charlene.
Charlene looked at the two half-grown boys, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed in her heart.
In fact, Charlene is not unaware of other people's criticism. She also understands in her heart that in fact, there are many people who question her interest in Xiaoxin.
The forest witches have always lived in a mess, so most of the children who grew up in this group are just like everyone else, and they don't have any clear ideals and goals in life. Because they have continued in this way for generations, everyone has become insensitive, and they don't feel that there is anything wrong with this way of making a living based on cheating and abduction. But the appearance of Charlene brought another possibility to the Lin witches, who realized for the first time that it was actually possible for them to change the status quo through their own efforts.
And the most positive about these things may be the half-grown children. Everything that happened in Twin Moon City before is still vivid. At that time, Charlene's heroic appearance of killing demons also lingered in the memories of the children. They also want to change the status quo and become strong so that they can protect the rest of the group. So when Charlene proposed to train them to improve their combat power, there was hardly any opposition among the Lin witches. And the boys are also quite positive.
All this, Charlene naturally saw it in her eyes. And Nick is the one who performs best in daily training, so he has complaints about Xiaoxin, and Charlene is actually not incomprehensible.
Whether it is talent, talent or physical strength, Xiaoxin is not the best among these children, so Xia Lin is so interested in Xiaoxin now, it may indeed make other boys with good performance feel unconvinced, and think why Xiaoxin can get Charlene's favor?
Nick added: "This guy has been underwhelming. When he was in Twin Moon City, it was his mistake that caused the monster to riot! If I had been the one who shot at that time, I wouldn't have made such a big mistake as him! ”
Xiaoxin lowered his head and was silent. In fact, for the accident at that time, even now, Xiaoxin still feels very self-blaming. Because although it was Charlene who slashed and killed the low-level demon in the end, if there was a slight deviation at that time, the consequences would be really unimaginable, and many people might even die. So Xiaoxin didn't want to defend anything, just let Nick accuse. Because he felt that he was really wrong at that time.
But afterwards, Charlene never blamed him, and even said to him: "Good job." This made Xiaoxin feel that when Charlene said this, she was actually mocking herself. It was precisely because of that mistake that Xiaoxin often felt panicked by Charlene's preference for him, and he felt that he didn't deserve so much attention from Charlene.
Charlene shook her head helplessly and said, "Nick, I know you're dissatisfied with my intention to cultivate Xiaoxin, but the truth is not what you think. I chose him not because I have a preference for him, but because, all things considered, he is the most suitable person at the moment. ”
"Then tell me, what are the advantages of this kid?" Nick asked, his expression visibly disapproving.
"Down-to-earth. Because he is the most down-to-earth of you, I chose him. Charlene replied without thinking.
"Down-to-earth? Can this also be used as an advantage? The forest witches themselves live by abduction and deception. Steadfastness is the most useless thing for us, and you think it's an advantage? Nick frowned slightly, it was clear that he didn't agree with Charlene's statement.
Charlene didn't explain anything in depth, but asked rhetorically, "Then can you tell me what you want to do in the future?" ”
Nick said without thinking: "Of course, I will break through the world with my strength, and then live a good life!" ”
Charlene smiled: "Then how far do you think, with your ability, you can break through?" ”
Nick said: "I'm much more talented than Xiaoxin's guy, as long as you are willing to cultivate me well, I will definitely become a big man in the future!" ”
"I mean, where do you get your confidence? This world is not as easy to mix as you think! Charlene poured cold water on Nick in time: "At your level, you are still dominant, it is good to be able to save your life." ”
"You...... You're jealous of me! Oh! I kind of understand that the reason why you don't pay attention to me is because you are jealous of my talent, and you are worried that I will immediately surpass you and affect your status! In the face of Charlene's questioning, Nick became a little anxious, and even a little speechless.
Charlene didn't speak, just smiled playfully, and then suddenly broke a branch and slashed at Nick!
Nick's reaction speed was also very fast, he reacted immediately, and quickly raised his knife to resist Charlene's attack! Nick looked at Charlene proudly, and the defiant look seemed to say: Look! That's how good I am!
Charlene shook her head at Nick with a sympathetic expression, and then with a quick turn of her body, the branch in her hand immediately changed direction and stabbed directly at Nick's chest!
Nick couldn't react before he was knocked to the ground!
Nick stood up with a look of chagrin.
Charlene threw the branch in her hand to the ground, and then said earnestly: "I know that at your age, self-consciousness is awakened, and the strength, reaction and speed of your body are also developing rapidly, so it is inevitable that you will feel that you have become different from before and have become very strong. But this world is really not as simple as you think. For us now, we don't have the ability to do anything about the world, and being cautious about making a living is the most important thing for us at the moment. So don't be arrogant until you're 100% sure. You must remember that there are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky. ”
Nick is still a little unimpressed: "As long as I work hard to improve, I will surpass them one day." ”
Charlene glanced at Nick, and then said angrily: "Come on, wait until you can surpass me one day, let's talk about something else!" ”
Nick blushed suddenly: "You, you're different, you're still a mage...... He obviously didn't have any confidence that he could defeat Charlene.
"Is there no mage in this world except me? And I'm going to correct you a little, please call me a wizard now. ”
"Ordinary mages don't just do it like you!"
Charlene said expressionlessly, "But I used to be a ranged mage. ”
"You...... I'll prove it to you anyway! Seeing that he couldn't talk about Charlene, Nick became a little annoyed. In the end, he turned around and disappeared.
This kid, why didn't you find out that he was so awkward before......
Charlene had no choice but to shake her head helplessly.
