The sun gradually moved towards the ridgeline of the western sky, and the distant mountain shadows were silver and white, dyed with withered yellow, and the roar of the tide seemed to come from far away, low and distant, like an ancient ode.

Surrounded by the cedar grove with smoke curling from the smoke in the small fishing village, Ivan imagined the white-cloaked pirates talking and laughing with the villagers, like family, and suddenly felt a little irritated.

"You didn't call me to this place to see the scenery, did you?"

Ivan turned his head and glared at the pirate leader Silver Wolf beside him. The silver wolf's right hand was honestly hanging at his side, he didn't wear a hook claw, but he was followed by several people, and the kid named Shure was also there.

Ahead is a mountain cliff. From here, you can see the whole cod village, the rolling mountains in the east, and the waves on the sea. On this day, neither Ivan nor the silver wolf had a good rest, the silver wolf's shoulder was seriously injured and he was temporarily unable to move, and Ivan ...... He didn't know if the silver wolf really believed him

Although the silver wolf has promised not to treat them as enemies, the promise of this kind of thing is unreliable. The pirates didn't let them repair the Blue Eagle, and the little wolf was still wounded, although the villagers had been polite to the three of them after he released the silver wolf, but those red eyes were still full of vigilance that could not be hidden.

The silver wolf was friendly to them after bandaging his wounds, and specially asked them to eat together, but who could be sure that the silver wolf did not do this to spy on them?

"Ivan Yafir. You don't seem to be at ease with us. ”

The silver wolf smiled softly, cautiously studying Ivan's expression, and Ivan did not shy away from staring at him.

"What do you mean we won't be allowed to repair the ship?

"We don't see you as enemies. Silver Wolf sighed, "But even if I trust that you won't reveal our secrets when you return, my people won't be able to fully trust you. It's not easy for us to survive on these islands, we just want to protect ourselves. ”

"Then what do you want me to do?Isn't there a foreigner in this world that you believe in?" Ivan remembered the legend of the Nome clan that the ships that came to this sea area did not return, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his chest. But he couldn't show fear. These pirates and villagers are not aware of their strength. I don't know if they can get in touch with the Wizard Alliance at any time. That's why I don't dare to act rashly. In fact, Ivan also has his plans.

The letter entrusted to the hunters may not have reached Lord Selin, and Ivan really didn't want to think about it, but whether Lord Selin got the news or not, Lockevon would not give up. They haven't gone back for so long, even if the Nome don't dare to go to sea. Lockevon will definitely find a way to save them.

"Don't think so. The silver wolf said with a bitter face. "Actually, several villagers have already talked to me today. They say you're different from the magician you were from more than four years ago, and they're wrong about you. I've thought about it too, and you're very nice to the villagers. After knowing our secrets, you still treat us as human beings, and I don't want to hurt you at all. ”

Ivan was silent for a moment, then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the sky in the distance.

"I still don't know about you. Many of you don't look like humans, and when I first arrived, I didn't think they were pure-bloods. The village chief said it was because their ancestry was closer to humans. Are the descendants of the demon half-breed all like you?

"Yes, there are also clansmen whose bloodlines are closer to the demons, and there are even ......" Silver Wolf paused, "It's very similar to the demons, in your eyes...... It's the people of the demon race. ”

The silver wolf closed his eyes. Ivan suddenly noticed that a wave of sadness surging like a tidal wave seeped from the silver wolf's furrowed brows.

"Won't they hurt you?" said Ivan. For an ethnic group that you don't understand, you can't be too careful to be wary.

"They're our family, how can they hurt us?their way of life is similar to ours!," Silver Wolf's words got stuck in his throat, "I think you'd have thought about it a long time ago, they can't rebel against Sloth, because Sloth is a demon noble." ”

At that time, when he heard the silver wolf say that the "family" was in the hands of Sloth, Ivan really thought about whether there were inhabitants of these islands among the hundreds of thousands of demon army in Sloth. But the silver wolf swore that they didn't want to do anything for Sloth, and that they couldn't help it.

"Because Sloth is a demon nobleman, you have to listen to her, what if you don't?" Ivan wanted to know what these "people" really thought.

"It's not us, it's the people who have the demon core in their bodies. The silver wolf was a little confused, "I thought you knew a lot about the demons." The nobles of Seto are inherently nobler than the average demon, and it is the instinct of the ordinary demon to obey the nobles. Those people of ours are like impure demons, compared to ...... It's a little lower than the average demon.,Seeing Sloth is like a slave seeing a master.,It's hard to have the heart to resist.。 ”

"Isn't that the Sloth able to use them as he pleases?" Ivan was shocked.

Although Ivan still couldn't understand what instinctive obedience was, he suddenly remembered the feeling he had felt when he first met the Holy Magister Laxis Flotica, and it seemed that it was reasonable that these "people" could not resist Sloth.

"Slos is using them as slaves...... Exploited. The silver wolf gritted his teeth.

Ivan probably understood the Silver Wolf's distress.

The silver wolf regards all demon hybrids as homeowners, whether his bloodline is closer to humans or closer to demons. He said that the lifestyle of those people who are close to the demon race is similar to that of humans, which Ivan refuses to believe, but it seems that the descendants of these demon races will not have contradictions and estrangements because of the difference in blood. They are like a large and reunited family, some family members have to obey Sloth, and the whole family has to accommodate her, even if Silver Wolf and the others are not controlled by Sloth, they can't abandon their family.

"Haven't you ever thought about killing Sloth?"

Ivan stared at the silver wolf's rust-red eyes, "Kill her, and those people of yours will be ziyou." ”

"You think I don't want to?" the silver wolf instantly widened his eyes, "I dreamed of her languid face again and again, of me cutting her head into pieces again and again, of the clansmen who knelt at her feet standing up and cheering, of dreaming of them hugging each other...... They don't have to die anymore, they can go back to their relatives and friends, and they don't have to be separated again...... Did you know that Slos brought them ashore, and less than half of the 250,000 people came back alive...... What do you think...... Do you think I don't hate?" (To be continued......)
