Noble Emblem

The demons are actually watching them here. Do they want to prevent them from killing the demon god who is about to be resurrected?

Many thoughts ran through Liang Lidong's mind, but because there were too few clues and the recent events were too strange, whether it was the person behind Brooke or the abnormality in Emma's soul world, everything seemed to be aimed at them. , hazy malice, so he did not have an accurate judgment point to confirm what role the four of them played in it.

But no matter what, Liang Lidong didn't want to follow the opponent's steps, or risk overturning the chessboard. He had done this a lot in the game, and it was very easy to do it now.

The body that died in the backyard was quickly carried to the front of the manor by the guards in the manor.

This corpse exudes a stench that is unique to demon creatures. Generally speaking, demon creatures have this smell. Except for succubi and shadow demons, other demon creatures generally smell very unpleasant.

The guards stayed far away. Liang Lidong held his nose and stepped forward, looked at it for a while, and then shook his head: This is just an ordinary demon world creature, a little devil. Although the potential is very good, before the transformation, the strength is average. The average professional can easily defeat four or five, but if they transform, the strength will be greatly increased.

The little devils have certain stealth abilities, making them very suitable as scouts, and there are so many of them that it won't be a pity if they die.

However, if the little devil can be summoned to the human world, its owner is most likely a demon warlock. Of course, it is also possible that the apocalypse has opened a small magical plane portal that allows weak demonic creatures to pass through.

After watching it for a while, Liang Lidong asked the guards to raise the thing and burn it. He then continued to enchant Kyle's armor in his room.

Around evening, Liang Lidong received a system prompt that Kyle had completed the mission of saving the little boy's mother. It didn't take long. The four of them returned to the manor.

Emma smiled slightly when she saw Liang Lidong. Joshua's expression was normal, but Kyle's expression was a little strange. Alice stood next to him, seeming a little worried.

"The mission is accomplished. Why are you still looking so sad?" Liang Lidong asked.

Emma was reluctant to get involved in Kyle's affairs, as if she wanted to avoid suspicion. Alice also shook her head. She didn't understand why Kyle suddenly became like this. Joshua somewhat guessed the reason, but he felt that he shouldn't say anything.

In this way, the other three people dispersed, leaving Kyle and Liang Lidong alone.

After a while, Kyle finally spoke: "We went to rescue people just now, and the noble family entertained us very politely. Then we got close to them according to your wishes, teacher, and then we found them in their female slave prison cell. Taking the little boy’s mother.”

Liang Lidong was a little confused: "Isn't this great? Why do you feel unhappy?"

"At first, I thought that the mother was taken away by them for no reason." Kyle looked depressed: "But after seeing her, I discovered that the mother was very thin and average-looking, just like what you said, teacher. , it is impossible for nobles to covet her beauty."

Liang Lidong nodded: "This is normal. It is very difficult for a poor person to be beautiful. She has worked hard every day since she was a child and has not had enough to eat. Without warm clothes, no matter how naturally beautiful she is, she has to turn into a manly man with big hands and feet and sun spots on his face. "

"She was treated as a slave girl, and we redeemed her with a silver coin." Kyle said puzzledly: "Afterwards, we asked her why she was caught here as a slave girl. Do you know what her answer was?"

"Mostly because she doesn't want to be poor anymore. She doesn't want to be burdened anymore or something like that. She doesn't want to raise children anymore, right?"

Kyle raised his head suddenly: "Teacher, how do you know?"

Liang Lidong chuckled and said with some nostalgia: "Didn't I tell you that I have also experienced several years of mercenary career. I have also accepted and completed many tasks. In fact, I have encountered similar things. Many times , things are not what they seem.”

Kyle lowered his head and was very shocked: "After we redeemed her, we wanted to take her back to the slums, but she was unwilling. She said that she had left money for her son and that her son could live on his own. This was the end of her kindness and righteousness. She didn't want to go back to the slums. She was dragged down by her son. So she deliberately stole the money so that if she didn't pay it back overdue, she could become a female slave. She would have food and a place to sleep every day."

Liang Lidong was silent for a while, and he knew why Kyle was hit so hard.

Kyle lost his mother and father when he was young. In his heart, mother or father should be very sacred words, just like grandfather, they are all close relatives. It is impossible for a close relative to abandon his own relatives, but now he sees a mother who wants to abandon her young son. The sacred word mother is stained in his heart, and it is natural for him to be hit.

"How did you finally let that woman return to her child?"

It was very quiet outside the manor, and the insects were chirping, bringing a bit of desolation to the darkening night sky.

Kyle sighed: "It was Joshua who came up with the idea. He gave the woman ten silver coins and allowed her to temporarily return to her son."

"But you are worried that the mother will eventually leave, and that young child will probably not live long without the protection and nurturing of adults, so you are worried about that child now, right?"

Kyle nodded.

Liang Lidong asked again: "Then why aren't Emma and Alice worried?"

Kyle was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly thought that these two girls were supposedly kind-hearted people, so why did they really not seem worried at all? This is inconsistent with their character!

Liang Lidong patted Kyle on the shoulder: "Because they are women, their intuition tells them that the mother will never abandon her child again."

"Why?" Kyle frowned.

"Because that woman is a mother." Liang Lidong explained: "The reason why she abandoned her son was because she didn't want to see her son starve to death in front of her. You said that the little boy had six copper coins, so it must be the woman who sold herself. The last property left to my son.”

"Since she didn't want her son to die, why didn't she want to return to her son after we redeemed her?"

"Six copper coins can't buy much food. If it's just a child, it can last for a long time, but what if there's an adult?"

Kyle's whole body trembled, and then he took a deep breath: "I see... After Joshua gave her ten silver coins, she was willing to go back because she saw the hope of living, right? Ten silver coins , indeed they can do a lot of things, enough for them to buy a field outside the city and build a small brick house."

"It turns out that I am the stupidest of all people. Even Joshua can understand things, but I didn't understand them."

"No, you are mistaken. Emma may be the only person who can understand this." Liang Lidong smiled: "Joshua gave the money purely because he wanted to help you complete the task. Alice is not worried. Because she is an elf and has amazing intuition, she knows that the mother will not leave. Only Emma has lived the lives of many people in the illusion of prophecy and has a certain understanding of human nature, so she can probably understand what is going on. Human nature is actually very complex.”

After Kyle heard that the woman would not leave his son, his expression finally relaxed a lot. Liang Lidong patted his shoulder and went up to the room to enchant the equipment.

Liang Lidong knew very well that Kyle was a very kind-hearted young man. He had all the good qualities that a brave man should have, but he only had serious flaws in his understanding of human nature. This may be because the old village chief Reed was protecting him. Too much relationship.

People with such a personality are easily led by others.

That's why the unknown force wanted to use Emma as a medium to indirectly control Kyle's behavior.

At night, the night breeze is slightly cool.

Kyle sat in front of the window and sighed. He has always dreamed of becoming a mercenary and traveling around, but during this time, he discovered that the days of adventure were not as beautiful as he imagined.

The intrigue between people is much more serious than he imagined. It is not at all as straightforward and full of fighting romance as described in knight novels.

He was very happy when he knew that he really had the blood of a warrior, especially when Emma told him that there was a demon waiting for him to kill, and it was his destiny. He was shocked on the surface, but in his heart Full of ecstasy and pride.

He hopes to become a legendary warrior like his ancestor Kate.

But the truth is cruel. The omnipotent teacher discovered that the so-called 'destiny' was just a manipulated script. The powerful force hidden in the darkness just treated him, the descendant of the brave, as a puppet and wanted to take advantage of him. He achieves some ulterior purpose.

Although the hero's affairs were a little different from what he imagined, Kyle was still not discouraged at the time. He felt that he could not do big things, but there was still no problem in protecting some ordinary people.

Today's task of rescuing the little boy's mother, he was confidently preparing to cause a scene, rescue the mother, and punish the unreasonable and despicable nobleman.

But he didn't expect that the noble was not evil, and the mother didn't really want to abandon her son. But he didn't understand anything, he only knew how to immerse himself in his imagination.

If the teacher hadn't patiently explained, he would still be misunderstanding the mother.

If I am stupid, am I really the descendant of the brave? Are you really qualified to be a brave man?

Kyle suddenly lost confidence in himself. At this time, he remembered that Emma revealed the fate prophecy to them some time ago.

She said he was not a good husband and would only wallow in regret. At that time, he felt a little unconvinced in his heart. Is it wrong to remember his old friend? But now that I think about it, I may really be a hopeless man.

If this depressed mood continued, Kyle felt that he might really go crazy. He had to find someone to talk to. With this thought, he knocked on Alice's bedroom door. (To be continued.)
