It was just a thought, and the flames, which had been crumbling, burst up and lit up the entire room.

Qiye didn't feel sleepy in the first place, and with the sobbing sound that appeared in his ears at this time, he walked straight down from the bed.

As a monk, especially a peak monk of the Eighth Realm, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake, but Qiye was sick and there were too many things in his mind at that time, so he didn't pay attention for a while.

He walked straight to the cupboard and slowly opened the door to the cupboard, as if it were a real door.

The world outside the door is broken and real, and the world inside the door is really broken.

An emaciated little child, hiding in it, his whole body curled up, trembling and sobbing incessantly, and when Nanaya opened the cupboard door, he trembled more and more violently.

Because he was too thin and weak, and the whole person was curled up in the cupboard, Seven Nights couldn't tell the other person's gender.

The only thing that is certain is that he is not a monk, in other words, just the most common child of the calamity.

"Bang!"

Before Nanaya could speak, she seemed to hear the movement in the room, and a woman stumbled open the door and rushed in, her steps sounded hurried and urgent, and she staggered to Nanaya, and immediately protected the child behind her.

"My lord, my lord, he is just a child, my lord!"

The woman's crying voice choked Nanaya for a moment, and he didn't seem to have done anything.

No, he had already done it, he found the child hiding in the cupboard, and also opened the cupboard, and the woman was clearly mistaken.

"You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt him. Nanaya waved his hand, trying to explain something, but his actions made the woman panic even more, and she picked up the child directly from the cupboard and hid behind her.

"Don't do this, sir, sir! she's just a child!" the woman cried hysterically.

At this time, Qiye still didn't understand what the other party had misunderstood, which made him a little crying and laughing, but he hated it.

He sat down slowly, poured himself a cup of tea, and poured another cup for the woman opposite, motioning for the other to sit down first.

The woman, who was still a little hesitant, carefully sat down opposite Nanaya after seeing that Nanaya really just sat down to drink tea, and as for the child who was found in the cupboard, she stood timidly behind the woman.

"Do they do this often?" Nanaya picked up the teacup and took a sip, a bitterness that melted from the throat and spread throughout his body.

Tea is bitter, because the person who drinks tea feels bitter, what he doesn't feel bitter is tea, but the mother and daughter in front of him, or more people like them.

The woman buried her head deep under the table, and a faint crying voice came from under the table, intermittently expressing her meaning: "This is their way of survival, and it is also the price for them to stay in the Chaos City." ”

"Ridiculous. Qiye snorted coldly, but such a reaction startled the mother and daughter opposite, thinking that the words made him angry.

Nanaya shook his head, signaling that it was none of their business, just refilling the teacup with a cup of bitter tea, but it didn't feel as bitter as it had been at the beginning.

Life is already so bitter, even if you put many times the amount of tea, the bitterness of this tea has a limit, and the hardships and hardships of human beings are obviously too much beyond this limit.

Right now, it's just a scene that he bumped into, and there are many more scenes that he can't see and can't bear to see in the city.

Seven Nights finally knew why they felt so many emotions from the inside at the first glance of this old city, not only war, but also humanity.

The treetops outside the window hung a round of missing moons, the arc of the moon bend was a little cold, and the moonlight was even colder, shining on the entire chaotic city, and the old city under the white moon also made people feel a little more frosty.

There was a moonlight that shone through the window and fell on Qiye's body.

The light of the lights in front of him dimmed suddenly, and at the same time, there was the light of the fire that danced in each other's eyes.

"Go to sleep, or I'll go to the other side of the house, and you can stay here. Gulping down the bitter tea in the cup, Nanaya stood up and motioned for them to leave.

There are more things they don't know, and even if they do, they may not be able to say it, and Seven Nights doesn't want to embarrass them.

As soon as she heard Qiye's words, the woman, who had still lowered her head, suddenly raised her head, her hand tightly clutching the corner of her clothes, but her tone became firm.

"Your Excellency...... I...... I can ......" She thought she had made Nanaya unhappy, and her heart was already in a panic, not knowing what to do next, or to do what the monks liked, but her daughter was still behind her.

If Qiye is really angry, then she and the child can foresee tomorrow, and they will be taught a lesson at least or expelled directly from the City of Chaos.

Outside the city of chaos, letting a pair of powerless mothers and daughters face those ruthless demon cultivators is undoubtedly a dead end.

Her heart panicked, and she even regretted a little why she rushed over before, perhaps...... No, that's his daughter, the only thing he can protect, the one who must be protected.

But ...... for yourself And what power can be to protect her? Perhaps it is far safer to hand over to such an adult than to follow behind him.

Just when the woman's heart was in chaos, Qiye walked directly to the door, he couldn't read minds, and he didn't understand what the woman was thinking now.

But he knew how to stop this misfortune, and even if it was to save the family in front of him, it was at least better than doing nothing, so he spoke:

"Don't worry, I'll live here, but it won't disturb your normal life. ”

Seven Nights' kind concessions stunned the woman who was still flustered, she didn't expect Seven Nights to make such a choice.

In fact, it is normal that there were a few monks with good intentions who would do this at first, but as time went on, they could not even support themselves, so how could they think about those refugees who were not even monks?

Human nature is a process of continuous evolution, whether it is a deformed growth or a continuation of pure whiteness, the environment is the fundamental condition.

The woman nodded, not overly excited and grateful, and in her opinion, such a scene was rare, but it was not unprecedented.

This only delays the suffering, rather than eliminating it completely, or such an initiative is more like hypocrisy for those who are incapacitated.

...

Early in the morning, when he woke up in the seventh night, it was already past noon, he was not such a sleepy person, but because the previous battle had consumed his spirit and energy, he needed a long sleep to replenish it.

Thinking of drowsiness, I unnaturally thought of that little sleeping god Sky Snow again, and a smile hung on the corner of Qiye's mouth.

In this old city full of sadness and death, only the time in the Snow Village can make Seven Nights temporarily forget the unhappiness and short-term pleasure.

Looking at the breakfast and lunch placed at the bedside, it must have been brought here by the woman, the food was very rich, so rich that it made Qiye feel flattered, in such a difficult atmosphere of war.

He came out of the room with two plates of food, and by this time the woman had come up with her child.

"My lord!" saluted respectfully, even if he knew that Qiye was very good at talking, some of the proper etiquette was still indispensable.

Qiye didn't stop it, he knew that such an action might make them feel at ease, so he didn't say much, but just put the two plates of food on the table and said to them, "Since you're here, let's eat together." ”

"My lord, this is the food that Lord Yan brought to you, we ......"

The woman seemed hesitant, she and her daughter hadn't eaten a decent meal in days, but the pressure that Lord Yan had given them was still there.

The Lord Yan in her mouth should be the human monk who arranged for the seven nights to stay here, that is, the one who can't wait to stay here for seven nights.

Thinking of this, Qiye couldn't help frowning, and his voice was a little tougher: "Don't worry about him, since he brought me the food, I have the right to distribute it." Sit down and eat together. ”

Hearing the direct "he, he, he" in Qiye's mouth, and the nonchalant expression on his face, the woman was a little shocked.

Could it be that this person in front of him is an existence with a higher status than that terrible Lord Yan?

Seeing that the expression on Qiye's face was gradually impatient, the woman finally gritted her teeth and sat down with her daughter, Qiye's appetite was not very high, and the girl who sobbed that night was the happiest to eat the food on the whole table.

It's just that even in the daytime, if you don't distinguish carefully, you still can't tell whether she is a man or a woman.

This should also be a means of protection given to her by her mother, the war has been so hard, I didn't expect life to be even worse.

The misfortune caused by the invasion of the demon race, and the human nature that detonated, are really like a catastrophe that has swept the whole world, and too many people have lost too much in this catastrophe.

Qiye thought about it, but there was a rapid knock on the door in his ears, and the voice of the monk surnamed Yan came from outside the door.

"Senior Night, how was your rest last night, Yan took the liberty to come to disturb today, there is really something important to report!"

"Come in. Qiye opened the door, and the monk surnamed Yan saw that the mother and daughter sitting in front of the table were stunned for a moment, and then laughed a few times as if flattering Qiye, and then said seriously again:

"Senior Night, according to the reliable information above, a group of demon clan troops will appear in the Chaos City region in the near future, and I don't know what the purpose is. ”

"So what do you mean?"

"The city lord sent an order to all the capable monks in the city to be on guard to prevent the demon clan troops from suddenly attacking the Chaos City, and at the same time hoped that the monks of the Eighth Realm would take on the duties of the deputy city lord and protect the entire Chaos City. ”

"Then in the entire Chaos City, how many monks of the Eighth Realm are there?"

The monk surnamed Yan was interrupted by Qiye, and he was not angry, but just raised a finger a little secretively and pointed at Qiye.

"What is the duty of the deputy city lord?Eighth Realm?" A smile appeared on the corner of Qiye's mouth, and he seemed to understand a little bit of what this city lord who had seen the head and the end of the dragon wanted to do.

"Test first, and then delegate power? Is this a bargaining chip and a test for me? Okay, have a good rest, it's time to move. ”

Seven Nights didn't care at all that this could be deliberately done by the City Lord of Chaos City, and it was understandable that people would not trust another person for no reason.

The strength of their eighth realm was guessed, but it was only a broad concept, and they wanted to find out their depths, and at the same time hinted at the benefits that could be obtained - a deputy city lord.

The position of the deputy city lord Qiye can not care, what he really cares about is the news about the end of the human race.

The more detailed, the better.

"Okay, I'll just agree to this condition. ”
