"Come out. ”

Xavier's words echoed back and forth beside the empty house, weaving through the orange leaves, and bouncing off the trees.

However, there was no response from the surroundings, as if Xavier was talking to himself to the forest.

Seeing this, Xavier hurriedly shouted again into the forest:

"If you don't come out again, I'll go find you myself. ”

In his opinion, if Isabella hadn't cleaned up the traces of the house, someone else must have done it for her.

Xavier didn't know who it was, but he guessed that if there was such a person, he would be secretly watching nearby.

The reason is very simple, since that person will help Isabella eliminate the evidence, it means that he must care about Isabella very much, and he will definitely wait nearby just now to avoid Isabella being harmed.

But at the end of the day, this was all just Xavier's guess, so he had to shout a few times around him to see if he could scare him out.

And then, he really succeeded.

Behind Xavier, in the shadows of the forest, a cloaked figure suddenly grew, rushed out with the rustle of leaves, and launched an attack on Xavier with lightning speed!

Seeing this, Xavier did not hesitate, and swung the steel sword in his right hand backwards, directly blocking this attack.

Immediately afterward, there was an extremely fast turn, as well as the launch of the 'Sword Dance' and 'Hot Blood', which increased by one hundred and fifty percent of the sword dance, and under Xavier's wielding, the figure in front of him retreated.

(Note: 'Hot Blood' temporarily increases the host's attack, but greatly reduces its combat power after the effect has expired.) ）

And under such an attack, the cloaked figure also seemed to be unable to resist, and was stabbed down by Xavier's sword, piercing the fabric on it, and then preparing to pierce the skin inside.

But at this moment, Xavier found that the blade on his right hand was suddenly stuck!

Moreover, his 'stinger' can't be activated, and it seems that the enemy in front of him is not affected by the poison at all!

That's impossible...... Xavier said silently in his heart, so he had to use the increased attack power to forcibly pull out the steel sword, and then retreated directly, not dwelling on the battle in front of him.

And the cloaked figure didn't seem to be in a hurry, just watched Xavier retreat, and didn't take the initiative to attack.

"Can we talk about it first?" Xavier saw that his 'hot-blooded' time seemed to be about to fade, so he delayed the time and said: "Let me introduce myself first, I am Xavier, the captain of the garrison detachment of Reston Village, and I am definitely not here to be your enemy. ”

"Don't you want to be an enemy of others? Xiao Young, you want to put others to death as soon as you make a move, and you pulled out the steel sword first, and people are just trying to protect themselves. Out of the cloak came a mature female voice:

"But forget it, people should also introduce themselves, polite people usually call me 'white'. As for the impolite people, they will call people monsters, monsters, or snake spirits. ”

After saying that, she took off the cloak on her body, only to see that the opening that Xavier had just pierced had begun to heal slowly.

As for her appearance, she is a fair-skinned young woman in her twenties, with an oriental appearance, a white cloud shirt embroidered with a lotus pattern under the green silk, a long muslin skirt, and white socks and brown shoes.

Really...... The snake spirit is real, and most of the strange sounds before were made by her, Xavier quickly flashed thoughts in his heart, withdrew the steel sword at his waist, and said: "You helped Isabella, is it the little girl who cleaned up the traces of murder just now?"

"Not so. The snake spirit dressed as a young woman smiled, "Even the human at the beginning was helped by others, how could her pitifully small fireball kill a man?"

"But what people didn't expect was that the human soul turned into a demon spirit because of excessive hatred, and people wanted to get rid of it, but unfortunately it has been in a spirit state, and I can only borrow your hand to solve it. ”

"You may be thinking why people would help that girl, the reason is very simple, because people are righteous partners, they just can't see it, maybe in your eyes, this is quite contradictory, a monster can help humans, it's unimaginable. ”

"Nope. Xavier shook his head, "I can understand that in my eyes, the difference between a monster and a human is not on the outside, but on the inside. So, your act of helping Isabella is not wrong at all in my opinion. ”

"Oh, young man, you're pretty good at talking. The snake spirit looked at Xavier and laughed, "How nice would it be if the world was like you?"

"Unfortunately, this is impossible, you humans will always be afraid of something different, lack tolerance for other races, and even yourself, you are persecuting each other. ”

"I can't argue with what you're saying. Xavier did not deny her, "But please believe that human society will one day become inclusive." ”

"The man wanted to see when that day would come. The snake spirit sighed and said, "People don't want to be burned at the stake. ”

"After all, even you don't trust people very much now. She said as she looked at Xavier's right hand behind her waist.

On Xavier's right hand is a flare ready to be fired.

"I am indeed wary of you. Xavier did not deny this, "But what I just said is not wrong, as long as you don't harm humanity, I won't discriminate against you." ”

"Really?" the snake spirit continued to smile and laugh, "what if people become like this?"

Immediately, she changed from a young woman to a large snake about five meters high, glared at Xavier with blood-red eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Is your attitude still the same?"

Feeling the pressure from high to bottom, Xavier almost wanted to fire the flare, but he still calmly repeated again: "No matter what you become, my attitude will not change, I just hope that you will not take the initiative to hurt the nearby villagers, and I will not tell you what I saw you today." ”

"Little young man, you can't think like that, why can't it be the other way around? Except for that time, no one has ever hurt a human being. The snake spirit changed back to its original form, "After all, she is just a weak woman, and if humans come to hunt me down, they won't be able to resist at all." ”

"Don't laugh, Miss Bai, if you were really a weakling, you wouldn't dare to come out and fight me at the beginning. Xavier said in a cold sweat.

"Well, why do you have such no sense of humor, forget it, I promise you, as long as humans don't take the initiative to enter the forest and attack people, people won't take the initiative to attack them. ”

"It's a deal, Miss Bai. Xavier nodded.

"That's it, to be honest, little young, you're really cute, if you don't mind who you are, they can give you supreme pleasure. The snake spirit suddenly mocked.

"Huh. Xavier's cold sweat became more and more numerous, "This is still not necessary." ”

"Huh? It's actually such a reaction, you must still be a virgin, then I won't tease you, people will go first. Looking at the embarrassed expression on Xavier's face, the snake spirit made a gesture of farewell, and then its entire body melted into the dirt, disappearing directly into the ground like an earthworm.

“？？？”

What kind of escape is this?, Xavier thought to himself, confused.

As a wise monster, the snake spirit must have some special means of escape, but he never thought that he would use this method.

Sure enough, there are some things in this world that are beyond my imagination...... He sighed silently in his heart, and then put the flare that he was about to shoot behind him back into his pocket.

Later, he went to Isabella's house and destroyed Charles's body under the flames, and at the same time threw important information such as the diary into the flames, and all the secrets were known to only four people.

Skyler, Isabella, himself, and the snake spirit.

As for whether the snake spirit will harm humans, although Xavier said just now that he would believe her, but in fact, as the snake spirit said, humans never trust other races easily, and Xavier was indeed right by him......

But he still decided to keep this information in his heart and not tell the captain and others outside, in order to fulfill his promise, after all, she really did not take the initiative to harm the humans outside, unless they stepped into the forest.

Then, as always, continue to spread the legend of the snake spirit, so that the villagers will never set foot here, and the peace between each other should not be broken for the time being......

Just let him, Our Lady, once.

After doing this, he walked out of the door, and in the next moment, heard the message in his head.
