Harris saw her excitement at the moment and covered his face. Sorry, he really wasn't laughing, but he just couldn't help it because he knew that Julius's words just now were definitely not what he meant. But he also knew that Yana would automatically misunderstand Julius' words. Although he knew it a long time ago, he still felt that the scene was very interesting after seeing it.
Julius also reacted belatedly, and realized from Yana's state that what he had just said was a bit inappropriate. However, everyone knew Yana's feelings, and he also knew that Yana loved him, and he himself must like Yana, but because of his position as a hero, he could not accept this feeling.
After all, as a hero he must face the Demon King, and as a hero he must do something. He wants to be a banner that symbolizes justice. He wants to tell the entire continent that as long as the hero Julius exists, justice will never disappear. Even though he knows that his idea is very arrogant and unrealistic, this continent and the human race need his justice, so as a hero he can only do this thing.
Julius always had a feeling.
I feel like I might die soon.
This feeling did not ease as he grew older and stronger. On the contrary, the stronger he became and the more he saw, the feeling that he might die at any time became clearer and clearer. Now he could even understand that this was the pressure brought to him by the faceless Demon King. This showed that the Demon King this time was much stronger than him, a brave man, so he had this premonition. However, this was also his mission as a brave man that he must accomplish. If the Demon King wanted to start a war, then he could only be the Demon King's opponent.
This is not just the mission of the brave.
It is also the responsibility of a brave man.
I saw Yana misunderstood the meaning of this sentence.
Although Julius felt something was wrong, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was actually a good thing. He couldn't deceive himself. He really had feelings for Yana, so this matter couldn't be delayed any longer. Perhaps he should confess his thoughts to Yana and tell her that as a hero, he couldn't guarantee to bring her a happy marriage and that he was not the most suitable person for her. A good woman like Yana should have a
Happy marriage.
By this time Yana had already come into contact with the girl.
Look from their side.
You can see that the girl is still very wary.
Since Yana was chosen as the saint, although it was partly because of the consideration of the character of the contemporary heroes, Yana's abilities as a saint are all quite excellent, and her affinity is naturally high. Except for not being very adaptable to the banquets between royal families and nobles, Yana can basically cope with any occasion. She is also very popular among soldiers and children. She didn't expect to be frustrated in front of a girl today.
"It doesn't look like it's working."
Harris was still making sarcastic remarks.
However, Julius knew that his friend could be sharp-tongued sometimes, but he was a very reliable guy at critical moments. Moreover, Harris knew what to say and what not to say, and would not really say hurtful words. He, who had grown up with him, knew this best.
"What do you think?" Julius asked.
"Are you referring to the child's unusual strength and vigilance?" Harris narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice, and continued seriously, "Remember the incident I heard before? A village nearby was destroyed by bandits who came from nowhere. But there was a rumor circulating in the city that a noble in the city fell in love with a girl, and the villagers did not keep their promise to bring the girl to the noble on the day of the transaction, so the village was destroyed by bandits who came from nowhere."
Julius looked serious.
"Are you saying that the girl who was rumored to be targeted by the nobles is her?"
"What do you think, Uncle Giskan?"
“Hmm. Even so, I can’t help but imagine that a village kid could have such advanced magical skills. Although I don’t know much about magicians, based on Ms. Yana’s situation, the feeling that the little girl gave me when she cast magic just now was very similar to that of you, Julius.”
Giskan is the oldest adventurer in the brave team. Because of his presence, the young people in the brave team can face various emergencies calmly. The opinions he put forward are also very sharp, because if the girl is just a villager's child, it is impossible for her to have such high magical skills.
But Harris must have his reasons for saying this.
Then Julius looked at Harris again.
Harris smiled and gave his answer: "You will know if you use the appraisal on her. She has the same skills as your genius brother and the genius duke's daughter. In addition, judging from the information released by the genius prince of the Liangu Zhantuo Empire, they all seem to be born with high ability values and skill points. It is not impossible for such a genius to master magic without a teacher."
Julius said unhappily, "It is not rude to use identification without the consent of others."
"I know. I will reflect on it."
Harris knew he would be scolded by Julius long before he broke the news.
Julius shook his head.
He knew Harris wouldn't really listen.
But Harris did this for him, so the responsibility should be put on him, and he should apologize to the girl later.
"I will apologize."
Harris seemed to see through Julius's thoughts.
Julius said seriously, “I’m the captain, so I have to apologize with you.”
“…” Harris just felt that Julius was such a good person.
Giskan was watching them with a smile.
It is because the hero is such a person that he wants to follow him.
At this time, Yana came back with her head down.
It looked like she hadn't completed the task.
"How about the Saint Lady coming in person?"
"Shut up! I failed..."
"Don't summarize it so simply. Tell us what you talked about first."
It was then that Harris revealed his true intentions.
Julius was stunned.
It turned out that Harris had just provoked Yana.
Is it to let Yana go as the vanguard to test the intelligence?
[Chapter 29: The Saint’s Routine]
Si looked at this group of people with a relaxed atmosphere cautiously. These people could be relaxed about this matter, but she could not let her guard down towards them. She also did not understand why these people thought that she would trust them as long as they could prove that Julius was a hero.
After all, being a hero is just a skill and a title.
There is also a Brave skill in her skill column that can be learned, but it requires up to 100 skill points.
【Xue Mei Niang novel transfer station 966307603】
Because it was such a waste of time, she had never considered learning this skill at all, because the skill effect description of this skill was that it had a special attack effect on the Demon King, and its strength was still very strong. This skill had a certain probability of triggering a certain death effect when dealing with the Demon King, and it could completely ignore the difference in strength between the two sides and slay the powerful Demon King with the sword.
But the skill points required are still too exaggerated.
【Xue Mei Niang novel transfer station 966307603】
Why not learn something else when you can just use the skill points? Why not learn something like this? I don't know if it will be useful.
It can be obtained, and it is a skill that relies on probability effects.
Si looked at the girl who walked forward. The girl's name had just been introduced by the brave man. She remembered that her name was Yana. The information obtained from the previous identification also showed that this person had the title of a saint. The team of the saint and the brave man, plus the few people behind them were all powerful masters with various high-sounding titles. This team looked like the legendary protagonist team no matter how you looked at it, if this was the plot of the traditional Japanese RPG adventure game she knew.
"Um...can you tell me your name?"
"Don't be afraid, sister, we are here to help you."
help?
Si felt disdainful in his heart.
In her opinion, this group of people followed her for unknown reasons and did not seem to be approaching her with good intentions. They might be human traffickers. You know, in some game settings, players who are heroes can buy slaves or even sell their own slaves. Moreover, in the era when she traveled through, most hero-themed light novels went against the routine. The heroes who used to symbolize justice and heroism were just ordinary people with the power of heroes.
Moreover, most of the saints are just those who pretend to be good on the surface, but are actually evil women who are dark and rotten in secret. Of course, there are also those who are naive and sweet, but those saints will only appear in some dark worldviews as a diversion for the audience, and they are the characters who specialize in selling benefits and handing out knives.
"..."
silence.
Si ignored the topic of the saint.
She is not good at acting, and she has a rather introverted personality. If she communicates with these guys, she might inadvertently expose her true thoughts. Now she is not sure whether this group of people are pretending to be good people, but it is always right to think about the worst when considering things, because this way you will be mentally prepared enough to deal with it when things really get bad, so she chose not to communicate with them.
In this way, even if they are pretending, they won't fall out so quickly, right?
Because they should be very confident in their acting skills, and her current age is a good disguise. Even if she shows such a resistance, they should be proud that their acting skills can win her over. However, there is a small probability that they will turn against each other directly, but in this situation, she can only choose to adapt to the situation, right? After all, she can't trust these people at all. She only chose to stay here and listen to them because of their force. Otherwise, she would choose to run away immediately even if there is a slight chance. Now she is just stalling for time to think about countermeasures.
"If you don't want to answer, you don't have to force yourself. Hahaha, why are you alone in a place like this?" The saint's stiff conversation skills made even Si, who was not very good at socializing, feel embarrassed, but maybe this was an image she pretended to be on purpose.
Yana was a little upset at the moment.
This child was like a lost monster cub. She was wary of them when they first met and refused to communicate with them. The distrust and vigilance in her eyes were very obvious. And perhaps she had never heard of their brave team, so even if she revealed Julius' identity, it was not enough to eliminate the child's vigilance towards them.
Yana took out a piece of candy from the storage bag on her waist, and then said confidently: "If you answer my question, I will give you this snack. How about it? It's very sweet and delicious."
"...?"
The company expressed great doubts.
He actually wanted to use candy to tempt the little girl.
This guy is indeed a bad guy!
Besides, she is not addicted to sweets. Candy is not as tempting to her as a piece of barbecue. Of course, it has to be the kind of barbecue in the modern world that is full of seasonings.
Yana saw that Si was still ignoring her.
I was a little confused for a moment.
how come?
You know, this trick has always been effective.
This candy is a high-end product.
Children from ordinary families may not be able to eat ordinary candies once a year, let alone this kind of high-end candies. In the past, even some scheming children would not be able to resist trying to get the candies instead of being indifferent like the little girl in front of them.
and many more.
Could it be?
Doesn't she know what candy is?
Yana thought she had guessed the correct answer.
After all, judging from the child's origin, he should live nearby, and he should be living in seclusion in this monster mountain with his teacher. His clothes are so wild, so he should not have been exposed to sweets and snacks, right? What a poor child. I don't know what the teacher of this child is thinking. Since he can teach such an excellent student, he must be a powerful magician. However, this adult is too careless in daily life except teaching this child magic skills. How can a girl be so sloppy and run around the mountain in animal skins?
Yana looked at Tsukasa sympathetically.
"This is something delicious, look."
She unwrapped the candy.
Then he placed the candy in front of Si.
It seemed that she was not going to use this thing to tempt Si to answer her questions.
But Si felt that this woman's level seemed a bit high.
Such a radical attack, were the awkward chats just now really just fake? Because if she was really just an ordinary little girl, she would definitely hesitate whether to take the candy. And as long as she eats the candy, she will fall into the trap of this woman.
The saint is really scary.
So......
What should I do?
Si was in a state of tension and entanglement for a while.
[Chapter 30: The Brave Man’s Promise]
In the end, Si didn't make a decision whether to accept the candy. She saw the saint walking back to the team in disappointment, as if she had already decided to give up.
She heard the boy named Harris ask, "So what did you just say to that kid? Did you not get any information out of him?"
"..."
Yana was silent, her face flushed with shame, and she glanced at Julius evasively, but when Julius smiled back at her to tell her not to worry, she lowered her head in shame, like an ostrich trying to hide its head.
Harris held his forehead and sighed.
“I don’t mean anything, but if you can’t even be popular with children, then we only have Julius as the card left.”
As for Giskan and Hawken next to them.
The two uncles looked like they had no intention of helping.
Giskan said he was only interested in mature women.
Hawken hid behind, looking like he couldn't help.
Yana couldn't help but ask, "Harris, why don't you try it yourself?"
"Well......"
Harris didn't know how to answer this question for a moment.
"If you dare to attack me, I will come out now and kill you all."
Because a certain voice warned.
So he can't take action.
