Chapter 10 Alleviating Contradictions
(Thanks to the Ethereal 0 Cloud for your tips and support)
There are no lights.
There was no musical salute.
There are no cabaret performances.
There are no tourist VIPs.
The so-called "the most important festival in the village of Shyareth" is only to run under the cherry blossom tree with a birthday present and give it to Selzeveld with his own hands, which is permeated with the simplicity of the atmosphere of poverty.
It's just that this year there is one more special gift giver -
"First meeting, Lord Selzeveld, the ...... This is a coconut grown from a coconut tree in our village, I wish you a happy birthday. "Growing up listening to the stories told by his elders, it was the first time that he had personally visited Krurufa of Serzeweed, and he was restrained in offering the few local products in the Yaren village.
Surprised by the surprise of the unexpected visitor, Selzeveld barely managed to maintain a pretending majestic tone: "The horns on your head...... Could it be that it is Krurufa? ”
"Huh? Does Lord Selzewede know about me? Krurufa was surprised.
"In the third year after you were born, there were monsters in the desert attached to the bones of dragons, and I saw you when I went to destroy them, but you were still young at the time, and I must not have remembered them. ”
"Yes, is that so?" Krurufa's eyes widened, and he smiled, knowing that Serzeveld had been guarding the village, and it was worth it.
Looking at Krurufa's mother-like smile, Selzewede finally realized something from the fact that the representative sent by the subhuman village was a young Krurufa, and his tone was lower: "...... Krurufa, are your parents okay? ”
Krurufa's expression darkened and he shook his head: "My parents died of illness a few years ago. ”
Although the physique of the horned people is superior to that of humans, they can live for a long time in a barren desert oasis, but it still loses their lifespan, and coupled with the scarcity of medical resources in the village, a serious illness can easily take a life, even the village head.
Krurufa had already seen that his parents were finally coming to an end of their lives in the company of their families, and they were much luckier than those villagers who died on the way to collect daily necessities from the village, and the body could not even be found when the wind and sand blew.
“…… After all, it's been so many years. Selzewidron's head drooped, and his body language clearly conveyed his mood.
Unlike Lyle, who can take those around him with him, Selzewed can only watch the people around him die one after another, and the result of the accumulation of loneliness and sadness is to regard the longed-for immortality of mortals as a curse.
However, it cannot escape this curse, and if it hastily ends itself, the seal on the four friends who sacrificed themselves for its immortality will never be lifted.
"Lord Selzeveld?" Krurufa didn't think so much, and simply thought that the other party was just mourning the deceased.
Serzeveld raised his head again and deliberately changed the subject: "By the way, I haven't left the village of Shyareth for a long time, how are you living?" If you have any difficulties, please let me know. ”
"Thank you for your concern, our situation is okay." Life in the desert oasis is certainly not very good, but the subhumans have never been exposed to the outside world of flowers, and it is very easy to be satisfied, unless it is really difficult to survive, Krurufa will come to ask for help.
After thinking about it again, Krulu added subtly in a French tone: "And...... Yesterday a little wizard created for us a fertile and moist valley, where we intend to try to develop agriculture, and the days should get better. ”
If she hadn't been stunned by this gift, she wouldn't have heeded the children's request to come to the village of Shyareth.
"What!? Making a valley? "Serzeveld is far stronger than a normal dragon and has some incredible powers, but if it could have done that, it would have done it sooner," Lyle ...... Krurufa, can you elaborate on that a little bit more? ”
》》》》》》
"It looks like I can sneak home quietly at night~" After the village chief left after reprimanding the children who advocated without permission, Lyle lifted the illusion spell and accosted his companion who had switched from 'dejected' to 'I dare next time' mode.
"Hehe~" The children laughed, the highest will in the village is still Selzewed, the village chief is just a daily administrator, Selzewede praised their actions, and the village chief's reprimand instantly became powerless.
Of course, on the surface, they still have to bow their heads and admit their mistakes, and they are not Lyle, a thorn in the eye who can't even control his parents.
After the commotion, Xia said with longing: "Lyle, you said that with this as an opportunity, can the contradiction between humans and subhumans be resolved?" ”
"Didn't I say it~ Let it be, you go to the Yaren Village more often, it's better to bring a few Yaren children back to play, and gradually the contradiction will be resolved." Lyle shrugged and smiled, "By the time you persuaded Krurufa, I had already made an agreement with Ndorufa that I would send people over and him would send them back on the way back. ”
There is no way to do it with a large group of children like before, and even a confident person like Lyle would not dare to take risks, but with only two or three people, both Lyle and Ndorufa can use Phantom Shifting to lead people to move.
Xiya clapped her little hand and said in surprise: "It's amazing~ Lyle, how did you convince Mr. Ndorufa?" ”
"Persuasion? This was the first to be proposed by Ndorufa. Lyle was quite surprised at the time, Ndorufa looked as cold as Krurufa, and thought he was a very difficult person to break through.
"People who intend to resolve the conflict are not only on our side~" The children ushered in another good news, jumping up and down again with joy, and even the most mouthless Tona smiled.
After laughing, Alyssa said with regret: "It's just that it's not good to trouble you every time...... I still need to learn more about magic. ”
"Alyssa, do you want to learn from me?" Once again, Lyle extended an invitation.
Alyssa, who had been politely rejecting Lyle's guidance on the grounds that [the way of genius is not suitable for mortals], finally changed her attitude this time: "If you don't need to be a maid~"
"Uh......h All right. Lyle's loss was on the surface.
Sakiya raised his hands high and shouted, "I want to learn too, I want to learn too~ I want to get rich with magic!" ”
Peluxia continued: "If you have money, people can eat octopus dishes every day~!" ”
Friti said embarrassedly, "...... If I can, I would also like to strengthen my magic training and become a magic swordsman. ”
"Yes, yes, accept them all, anyway, idealistic magic doesn't need any textbooks and theories, and I'm super easy as a tutor~" Whether it can be done depends on the student's own talent and hard work.
"Hehe......" Alisa said embarrassedly, it was this kind of unreliable statement that made them keep retreating.
Lyle, who noticed Elisa's little expression, pointed to his head and winked mischievously: "Oops~ Alisa, you still don't believe it?" Look up and see how~"
“…… Hey? When they heard this, they looked up in unison, and found that the huge cherry tree, which was said to never bloom, had suddenly grown a large number of flower bones.
Why does it grow on this day?
Whatever you think, it has to do with something that happened today.
Lyle opened his arms and laughed: "Look~ This world is so idealistic even for a tree with magic power, don't be too realistic, it's okay to be a little more romantic, maybe thinking about it, you will create a wonderful world~"
