Chapter 7 People
The thief girl walked in the jungle with a heavy heart. She always felt a little uneasy.
But she laughed to herself. It was normal to be uneasy. It would be strange if she could remain calm at this time.
The demon who was skinned was still vivid in her mind, and it was difficult for her to understand... why the young lady who didn't even dare to go to the battlefield could suddenly perform a skinning act just because the opponent was a monster.
The same goes for those knights who flaunt their glory. Those knights who are well-dressed, full of gentlemanly manners, and take compassion and kindness as their own standards have caused massacres one after another in the Demon King's City. They laugh when talking about monsters.
, disagree.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but touch her face. There was a tattoo with a criminal's logo on it, which she had had since birth.
Because she is half monster blood, she was born with it.
At this moment, she suddenly heard the sound of water in front of her. It was very faint, not like a river, but a stream.
"Since when has there been a stream here?" She put aside her distracting thoughts for a moment and became vigilant.
It is winter at this time, and even if there is a stream, it should be frozen long ago!
She immediately pulled out the dagger from her waist, shrank her body, and suddenly hid herself in the bushes without making any sound.
She is a professional and a thief. Her skill levels are Stealth 1, Detection 1, Assassination 1, and Sleight of Hand 2.
She was stronger than the noble warrior Boqi, but the other party knew nothing about it, and he thought he had control over this timid and cautious thief.
She cautiously moved forward a little bit, and soon she saw the source of the sound of water. It was a clearing in the forest, and the ground was made of cracked rocks.
And there was no stream, but the sound of ice melting and dripping on the stone surface.
She gripped the dagger tightly and hid it because something was wrong around her.
It's obviously so cold around here, but the ice is melting. This is not normal. Besides...
Just when she was thinking about this, she saw another person.
He is very strong, like a soldier, but he is wearing a gray robe, um... it is made of the same material as soldiers in the army, but the cut is different. Is he an officer? No, there is no military rank marked, and there is no officer's ceremonial sword.
"Does it look like... a human? Black hair? Is it a high-level monster or a human? Some lone wolf adventurer?" The thief girl did not dare to relax at all and lurked in the shadows.
Although the body structure of high-level monsters is completely different from that of humans, they are indeed quite similar in appearance. It can even be said that you can't tell the difference at all if you don't pay attention.
Sniffing, the girl's nose twitched twice and she smelled a scent.
She couldn't help but leaned out a little, looked carefully, and finally saw the whole picture.
It was a young man with a very delicate appearance, sitting on a stone pier. He was spreading some kind of white powder on the stone surface, and at the same time, there was a good smell coming from his body.
It's not the smell of flowers or anything like that, but...the smell of meat and bread.
Meat and bread, just thinking of these two words, her stomach couldn't help but growl.
The supplies of the coalition forces have always been very tight. She also needs to give priority to the nobles and young ladies. She has not had a full meal for many days. Besides...from birth to now, she has been hungry most of the time.
As soon as her stomach rang, she immediately jumped out of the shadows without hesitation! She quickly retreated on alert. She didn't know whether the other party was a friend or an enemy, but running away was definitely the right thing to do!
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat?" But before she could escape far, she suddenly heard a voice behind her.
It's human language, not demonic language.
"The food in the army is like shit, doesn't it taste good?"
The human language reassured the thief a little, so she stopped, turned around defensively, and looked at the person carefully, but when she turned around, she covered her face with one hand.
Then she saw a sincere smile on the other person's face and stretched out his hand to her.
"Excuse me, who are you? Which team, which number? Why am I the only one?" She asked cautiously, not preparing to receive the food.
Lu En smiled, a light flashing in his eyes.
"Oh, I'm alone, not in the army. This outfit... I just used some fabric. You look like you are very hungry. Do you want some?" Lu En said in a friendly manner.
"I...I can't eat, thank you, goodbye." The girl covered her face and still wanted to leave.
"Well, if you don't want to stay and eat, how about taking it away? I'll put the things here first, and I'll leave for a while." Lu En didn't force it anymore, but took the food Kara prepared for him and wrapped it with a piece of cloth.
He cushioned it and placed it on the stone pier, ready to walk back.
"Wait a minute, please take it back, I... look at this, you will be in trouble if you have a relationship with me." The girl revealed her covered face, revealing a tattoo on her left cheek. She didn't know what to do.
No matter what you say, but the other person means well, so you have to explain yourself.
If you get involved with a sinner, this person may be looked at in a variety of ways, so it is best to persuade him to go away.
Good people shouldn't have to deal with things like this.
Of course Lu En knew what it was. The Demon King's memory was very clear. He also had a good understanding of human beings. It was because he saw this that he came up with this idea.
So he immediately said: "What does it matter? There is no one else here. Besides, that doesn't mean you are really a bad person, right?"
"It doesn't matter? You think it doesn't matter?" The girl looked up in shock.
"Otherwise? Could it be that I have to discriminate against you to make you happy?"
"But I..."
"You talk a lot of nonsense, do you want some?"
The girl was silent for a while, as if she could not refuse the kindness and seemed to be struggling with something, but in the end, she chose to get closer.
"Thank you, I'll pay for it," she said.
"It's not necessary, then you take it first and I'll take the first step." Lu En didn't bother too much, but looked to the other side.
That was the way Carla expected to return, and it was a place with a wide view in the forest.
Taking the meat and bread, the girl thanked her again and tried to pay for it: "Thank you, my name is Ke Nainai. This is the first time I have seen someone who doesn't care about this mark."
"You're welcome, maybe we'll meet soon." Lu En smiled, and then he took two steps forward.
Because he heard the sound.
And Nana also heard it.
The two of them raised their heads together and could see a small team chasing a calm and beautiful woman.
The woman had an eye-catching and beautiful face, with silky black hair flowing behind her. She was wearing a very conspicuous maid outfit, with two curved dragon horns on her head and a tail trailing behind her.
She ran quickly through the complicated forest as if walking on flat ground. Behind her, a cry of death rang out.
"Catch that monster! Don't let her escape!"
"She must know the whereabouts of the Demon King! I heard that Miss Livia is tracking down the Demon King's maids! She should be a half-dragon! Call for support!"
The soldiers and brave men who were following were getting closer and closer, while the dragon maid suddenly accelerated her speed and headed straight for Lu En!
Nana immediately became alert.
"Don't be nervous, my people are here, but it seems your people are here too, so let's go our separate ways. Goodbye~." Lu En patted Nana on the head, turned around, and started running away!
What a joke! A reconnaissance team of several thousand people will soon be chasing you from all directions! If you don't run away, you will die!
Before Nana could react, she could only see that the kind-hearted person beside her suddenly turned around and ran away, and the beautiful sister who was still wearing a maid outfit in the forest also followed the kind-hearted person and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye!
She was the only one left. Immediately, the noble warriors and soldiers caught up with them, and Kara and Lu En had long since disappeared.
"Nana! What happened to those people just now? Why are you with them? What is that in your hand?" The noble hero at the head stopped, because the target had disappeared. He turned to look at the clues.
K. Nana who has the same goal.
The army did not stop, they continued to search forward.
Nana opened her mouth silently.
