Chapter 230: Xingxi's Misunderstanding

Fourteen years have passed since that tragedy, and in these 14 years, no one knows better than Xingxi how difficult it is to survive as a race wanted by the largest Sect of Light on the continent in the name of the Demon Descendant.

Don't expose the abilities of the Nolan clan in front of people, be wary of even a meal in an area covered by the power of the Solan Cult, play a false identity reasonably and communicate with outsiders, and pay attention to your words and deeds at all times so as not to leave any loopholes for yourself or your fellow people who are also hidden in the same environment...... Maybe it's not a survival at all, they don't feel lucky or happy at all when they're still alive, they just survive, that's all.

But at least, because of the relationship between the Great Elders, they were united as the Nolan survivors as soon as they were after that disaster. No matter how painful or false they were, they were able to have a hidden place to lick their wounds and cry with a group of fellow people who shared the same experience, reminding each other that they were not alone in the struggle against the Solanist Cult and this unfair and cold world.

However, for the little girl who was missing after the disaster, she didn't even have such a safe haven. Since 14 years ago, the little baby girl has been lost in this cold and cruel world, without a companion, without an identity that can be accepted by others, and has lived alone until now.

Xingxi had thought about how she would react if she was really the daughter of Uncle Ryan and Aunt Tias they had been looking for, knowing that she was also Nolan.

Perhaps, I will cry with joy because I am finally no longer alone.

Perhaps, because he has always been alone, he doesn't know that he is Nolan, so he is confused.

Or perhaps, because of the habit of evading the search of the Solan Cult alone, he looked at her like a wounded beast with a vigilant look.

However, no matter how he thought about it, Xingxi never thought that it would be like this...... looks like he has already made up his mind, and uses lame reasons to deny the identity of the Nolan family. Xingxi felt that it was not like habitually hiding himself for self-protection, but more like pretending to be stupid and not admitting it out of his own will when he knew everything.

“...... Why, you don't want to admit your identity?"

"I ......"

Faced with Xingxi's question, Cheruth opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't say anything at all.

yes, why not want to admit it?

That's right, the power she has that can replicate other people's abilities is the ability of the Nolan race, her biological parents in this other world are Nolan people, there is no doubt that she is a member of the suffering race that was tried to exterminate the race by the Solan Divine Cult with a forbidden spell, and then chased and killed on the continent for 14 years.

Although this way of questioning was a bit aggressive, Cheruth could see that Xingxi did not have any ill will towards her, but after her answer was revealed, Xingxi's expression, which confirmed Cheruth's identity in an instant, was really very happy. Burdened with the same life and fate, as Xingxi said, they should be her undoubted companions.

However, if she really confesses her identity to Xingxi, she will inevitably have to face some things that she is not willing to face......

She doesn't want revenge, at least not now.

Cheruth's hesitation is interpreted by Starstream as embarrassment under her own persecution, which leaves Starstream completely confused.

What's going on, how did she become like she was pushing her......

Doesn't this child want a home where he can live with his true self? Doesn't he want a group of peers who have the same experience and the same pain as him, who can support and understand each other? Why refuse in such a self-deceptive way......

Suddenly, Xingxi thought of a possibility that gave her a chill.

Could it be ...... Does this kid have anything to do with the Solan Cult?

The Nolan extermination plan was a secret operation carefully planned within the Solan Divine Cult. The reason why these survivors survived the catastrophe was because they were not in the village for some reason when the forbidden spell was activated. And almost all the clansmen who remained in the village at that time died under the power of that forbidden spell.

The only exception to this is this girl named Cheruth. Now that you think about it, the fact that a baby girl who was only half a year old survived a forbidden spell and the subsequent carpet search of the Knights Templar was problematic in itself......

In fact, despite Ryan and Tias' insistence that their children were alive after the disaster, the first time the Nolan survivors actually confirmed the survival of Cheruth was two years ago, when the Ryan and his wife witnessed a girl with the scars of the Nolan's "divine gift" while on a mission in the Monster Forest. On that occasion, the girl was on the opposite side of the Norlan clan in the incident, and in hindsight, it seems that it was the presence of the girl that made the joint assassination plan of the Nolan clan and the then ally, Prince Naris of the Kingdom of Lorris, completely fail.

After that, the rebellion of Prime Minister Butler, an ally secretly cultivated by the Nolans in another great power in the Western Plains, also ended in failure, and according to Gurney, who was in charge of supporting Prime Minister Butler at the time, the key people who caused that defeat were the well-known "Northland Wolves" Helo and her sister in the Northlands.

You must know that for so many years, in order to be able to take revenge on the Solan Cult and the Solan Holy Kingdom under the control of the Cult, the survivors of the Nolan tribe have privately established their own hidden forces, and another important plan is to win over the domestic forces of the two great powers in the Western Plains, support their allies in the two countries to become bigger and let them become the help of the Nolan tribe to take revenge on the Solan Cult. In the end, however, the failure of those two plans wiped out the forces that the Nolans had spent years building up in Loris and Prude.

If the wolf girl named Cheruth in front of her is really the Nolan survivor who was in addition to them back then, then whether it is her identity as the daughter of the Ryans or her appearance, it makes Xingxi unable to help but think of the key person who caused the failure of those two plans two years ago...... Was it accidental, or was it ......

Thinking like this, Xingxi suddenly felt cold, speaking of which, the three of them also accepted the commission of the Great Elder this time to carry out a secret mission in this ruin, and at this time, this girl named Cheruth appeared here, and her partner also obviously had a close relationship with the candidate saintess of the Solan Divine Cult called Raphael......

“...... Forget it, it looks like I misunderstood something. ”

"Huh?"

Cheruth, who was struggling with whether to admit her identity or not, was stunned for a moment and looked at Xingxi in some surprise.

"Starstream, you ......"

"It looks like we're probably not really companions. ”

Xingxi's face no longer had the faint joy and excitement on his face after confirming that Cheruth was of the same clan, and his cold and indifferent expression returned to the face of the black long straight girl, looking at Cheruth's eyes full of complicated looks.

Cheruth was suddenly a little confused, what's going on, what happened when she was doing the ideological struggle, could it be that this girl named Xingxi is actually the kind of person who looks quiet but is actually quite upright and impatient?

No, but that's okay...... In this way, if the other party takes the initiative to give up this topic, she can also take advantage of the situation to fool the past, and sure enough, she is still not ready to enter the expansion "Nolan's Revenge" and officially start the new main plot......

Just as Cheruth was thinking about something out of tune at an inopportune time, Starstream spoke up again.

“...... Cheruth, do you know the tragedy of the Nolans being slaughtered by the Solans 14 years ago?"

"Well, I know some. ”

"Yes, you know...... Do you believe the reason why the Solans say, 'The Nolans are descendants of demons'?"

Hey, what's going on, what the hell is going on with this Xingxi children's shoes. At the beginning, I had a showdown with her to reveal my identity, and then I forced her to admit her identity with a look of "I saw through everything", and then suddenly gave up without saying anything, why did she start to expose the rhythm of the shady scenes of the year again? Could it be that she felt that it was not okay to be as straightforward as she was just now, so she used the method of reasoning with facts to persuade her to join the gang again?

"I, I...... I don't know ......."

Xingxi looked at the stumbling Cheruth, her purpose was actually very simple, she wanted Cheruth to know the truth about the solanism.

Cheruth obviously knows her background, but according to some clues that Xingxi has just sorted out, it is very likely that Cheruth has played the role of a spoiler in the important plans of the Nolan clan several times, both openly and secretly. It would be fine if it was really just a coincidence, but Xingxi feared the worst-case scenario, which was that Cheruth was deliberately making enemies of their Nolan clan at the behest of the hypocritical gods of the Solan Cult.

It stands to reason that a Nolan who knows his background should have no reason to act for the Solan Cult, the object of hatred, but no one knows how she grew up and what she has experienced in the 14 years since her disappearance.

Xingxi had also dealt with the Solan Cult, and she had seen the truly devout believers - or the idiots who had been thoroughly brainwashed by the words and teachings of the Solan Cult's higher-ups - in her opinion That kind of abnormal loyalty to religion, if Cheruth was not as exiled as they thought but was taken away and raised by the people of the Solan Cult, then in Xingxi's mind, in Cheruth's cognition, it is very likely that the despicable villains of the Solan Sect distorted the facts with rhetoric, so it is not difficult to explain why Cheruth is full of rejection of recognizing this identity despite knowing her Nolan background, and even thwarted the Nolan plan.

In any case, as a Nolan, Cheruth had to know the truth about the day...... Xingxi doesn't want to be an enemy of his kind, even if someone tricks him into doing something sorry for the Nolan.

"You don't know, you don't know...... Yes, there are not many people in this world who know about it, because those despicable people of the Solanism don't want others to know about it at all!"

Xingxi looked at Cheruth seriously, she believed that any Nolan who knew the truth about the feud between Nolan and Solan would definitely make the right choice. Even if Cherus was really brainwashed by the Solan Sect, this truth would definitely make her sober up.

"Do you know, we Nolan are not 'Demon Descendants' at all, we are...... Seed of God!"
