The blue-haired boy was dressed in a dress that was inappropriate for his age, with a loose dark bow tie hanging from his chest, a wide-brimmed soft hat buttoned over his head, and his shoes seemed to be a little ill-fitting, with the laces on them tightly fastened.

The Bird Queen Taro told Fang Nuo that judging by the appearance of the teenager, he was only about seven or eight years old.

"It's not so much a human teenager......" she retorted to her original claim, "it's better to say he's 'just a child'!" ”

In the mountain village, humans are considered adults when they reach the age of 14.

When children are seven or eight years old, most of them begin to help their parents share the pressure of life, such as helping them with household chores, running errands, passing on some word of mouth, and so on.

The Bird Queen rambled on a lot of words, but what Fang Nuo cared about was the "age" she had inadvertently said.

He thought about the upper age limit of an ordinary mourning bird, comparing it to a monster of the same origin.

"10 years should be fine...... It is said that long-lived birds can even live for 40 to 60 years. ”

Compared with living beings, demon beasts have opened their spiritual intelligence and can use the spiritual power in the atmosphere to perform various "miracles", but if they don't work hard to improve their personality, they will eventually usher in the day when the end is approaching.

Many demon beasts aspire to be promoted, but in fact, they are eyeing the lifespan of immortal beasts beyond the limit of ordinary creatures, and this is their strong strength in the future.

If it awakens to a "divine beast" by chance...... At this level, the miracles of time are at their disposal, and life will be infinite, and it will last forever as long as He wants.

At this point, the child regained his breath and ran quickly to them.

Originally, she was still worried about whether she got an "ornamental rose" or an "edible rose", so she quickly put on her hood and stuffed the hair hanging down on the sides of her cheeks into the hat.

After doing all this, she turned around with a smile on her lips, faced the comer, and asked in a flat tone:

"Excuse me, do you have anything to do with me?"

The people who will climb the boulder platform are all people who have come to entrust the witch with help.

The teenager, who was still very young, behaved a little uncomfortable and a little timid.

He hesitated for a moment, then cautiously confirmed:

"You're the witch Ylan?"

"You call me by name." The witch replied calmly, "Mike." ”

In return, she called out the name of the person who came.

At the same time, Fang Nuo, who was listening on the side, keenly sensed the fluctuation of the atmospheric spiritual power, and he suddenly realized that the witch had performed a "miracle".

As for the content of the "miracle", he can also guess that it is nothing more than to "cheat" and make her say the name of a human who she did not remember.

Mike...... The name sounded like a shorthand, Fang Nuo thought to himself.

In the past, he had learned it in his family, and there was a part of humanity that loved to play this trick.

Behind every complete name consisting of a long string of characters, there is an abbreviation, just like a nickname or nickname.

It's like the "Fermi" that the deceased Iris repeatedly mentions in the memories of the deceased...... When the "lovely" "beast and man" couple ran the fabric shop, the nickname was replaced by another, more formal name.

Many monsters that have mastered anthropomorphic abilities have "followed the customs" and learned a lot of human social routines and etiquette.

But what does all this have to do with other Fangnuo?

Remembering these tedious little knowledge can't help you level up.

Moreover, there are so many countries beyond the mountains, and the human language is also diverse, each with its own brilliance...... Even if he can really transform into the appearance of this race in the future, he can find a small country with a less complicated daily name and a relatively easy social relationship to spend the rest of his life.

But that's not what I'm pursuing, Fang Nuo stretched, thinking.

At this stage, my idea is to do my best to improve my strength and promote my rank.

"You know me?" On the other side, the human beings continued to talk to each other, "Sure enough, Mother said that you are worthy of being the guardian of the mountain village, and the names of all the villagers have been engraved into your mind. ”

No, she called it "temporary cramming", right? I learned this expression in my clan.

Fang Nuo was speechless.

"If there's anything, let's go inside and tell me." Smelling the smell of the commission, the witch lowered her voice and said to hide the excitement in her heart, "I don't have the habit of letting guests stand outside the door and tell their requests. ”

"Okay, okay." The kid named "Mike" gets nervous.

Fang Nuo's gaze followed the child's movements, falling on his cuffs, and the fabric of the dress was crumpled by him, covered with ugly furrows.

The two humans and the three demon beasts walked in the direction of the hut, silent all the way.

Once inside, the witch waved her sleeves and lit the fireplace out of thin air.

Instead of taking off her cloak, as she had done every time she had ever received clients, she pressed her hood even lower, revealing only her nose and mouth.

The owner of the cottage raised his hand to the half-seated sofa and motioned for the guests to sit there.

She herself pulled back the chair under the small table in front of the window, and sat down with a big grin:

"Tell me, what must I tell you from my mother?"

"If I'm not mistaken...... her eyes narrowed slightly under her hood, "you should have been there when I made my request to Lady Setia, right?" ”

"They didn't believe me......"

The boy did not deny it, nor did he give a clear answer, but only sat on the edge of the shield pile, bowing his head and muttering quietly.

Fang Nuo pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two as he hopped onto the table and to the window.

As soon as he looked up, he saw the big faces of two birds.

They pressed their beaks to the windows, as if to poke a hole in it so that they could hear the house more clearly.

Fang Nuo hurriedly danced in front of the window, and finally made the two birds understand that he would tell them about the important things in the conversation.

Even though I heard the human child say something amazing:

"Witch, there are guardian beasts in our village, right?"

...... Huh? Guardian Beast?

Did this human territory actually sign a contract with a powerful orc?

However, if they really have a "guardian beast", the witch is very unnecessary as the "guardian of the mountain village...... It's better to say that what this woman is doing now is the job that the "guardian beast" should do.

Fang Nuo's logic is very clear: in the current mountain village, the existence of the witch means that the "guardian beast" does not exist.

This means that the answer to the child's question is "no".

However, the witch herself, who is an excellent proof of the non-existence of the guardian beast, was silent for a while in the face of Mike's question.

She turned slightly to the side, raised one arm and rested it on the table, the other arm hanging naturally on her lap, her fingers slightly together, rubbing against each other, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Fang Nuo moved a few steps to the edge of the table, and saw the child's eyes clearly, and found that they were full of hopeful light.

What was he expecting? Fang Nuo was puzzled.

"I heard," seeing that the witch didn't say anything for a long time, the child was a little anxious, "In our village, there is a beast clan who is rumored to bring good luck to this world, and he can give lucky blessings to the object of his protection. ”

That's the effect of "miracles", Fang Nuo, who is also a beast clan, thinks about it.

Whoever comes can actually do it, it's just a matter of time.

Fang Nuo gradually lost interest in the "guardian beast" in the child's mouth.

"His name is 'Rui Beast.'"

The boy spoke unrelentingly, as if there was some basis in his mind to support his opinions, and to make him firmly believe in what he had said.

"The Beast ......," the witch asked with an unchanged face after listening to the boy's account, "where did you hear this rumor?" ”

"Village Chief." The other party did not hesitate to sell his "teammates", "I told me once when he was drunk and unconscious. ”

"Later, when I mentioned it to the adults, they didn't believe anyone and laughed at me, saying that I had taken what I had experienced in my dreams as reality."

The head of the mountain village...... The image of an old man with white hair and gold-rimmed eyes came to Fang Nuo's mind.

"Ahh......h

"I believe in you." Obviously there was no basis, but she put on a determined appearance, and confidently bluffed the boy, "Another day, let's go to find the Rui Beast together, shall we?" ”

Hey, hey...... Fang Nuo, who was lying on the table behind her, widened his eyes, feeling that all the people and things he encountered today were unbelievable.

Although he never kept up with the witch's train of thought......

It's better to say that thinking out of the box is a characteristic of this human being, and one day if she makes decisions and behaviors that are in line with the thinking of normal beings, it will be a terrifying thing.

Not in the mood to listen anymore, Fang Nuo propped up his body, planning to jump off the table and run to the mourning birds to share what he had just heard.

"You're the first adult willing to trust me!" As he reached the door, he heard the joyful shouts of children behind him.

Tsk, human children are like this - although it has nothing to do with humans themselves, it is already his habit to think like this.

"Although, the other adults told us not to tell you......" Now, Mike began to share the secrets of the children, "Witch-sama, in return, it is actually ......"

My ears ...... Fang Nuo, who was already half outside the door, subconsciously reached out and touched his ears, and he suddenly realized that he actually cared a lot about what the two guys behind him were talking about.

He hadn't finished what the boy was trying to say.

"Listen to it for a while, anyway, the two outside the window aren't in a hurry." Fang Nuo staggered to his feet, looking back into the room.

Listen only to the human child proclaiming aloud:

"The carriages carrying supplies, and the carriage merchants who bring us new goods every Red Star Day, are here in advance!"

This guy is "afraid that the world will not be chaotic"! Fang Nuo's pupils fluttered violently, and in an instant, he left all his previous rational thoughts behind.

Get on all fours, pull your legs and run.

The carriage came early? Why?

Regardless of the reason for this incident, he only knew that as long as he took the vehicle that came and went freely between the mountains, he could return to the end of the stone wall, and he could return to Huangxian Ridge!

All the countdowns will be reset to zero because of this sudden event!
