172 Kyle's Melancholy

The demons are actually watching them here, is it to prevent them from killing the demon god who is about to be resurrected?

Many thoughts turned in Liang Lidong's mind, but because there were too few clues, and what had happened recently was too strange, whether it was the person behind Brooke or Emma's soul world, it seemed that they were all aimed at them with hazy malice, so he didn't have an accurate judgment point to confirm what role the four of them were in and played.

But in any case, Liang Lidong didn't want to follow the other party's steps, it was a big deal to flip the chessboard, he had done a lot in the game, and now he is very easy to do.

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

This corpse exudes a foul smell that only demonic creatures have, and generally speaking, demonic creatures smell like this, except for succubius and shadow demons, other demonic creatures generally smell very bad.

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

The little devil has a certain stealth ability, which is very suitable as a scout, and there are many of them, so it will not be a pity to die.

However, if you can summon a little demon to the human world, its owner is most likely a demon warlock, and of course, it is possible that a small magical plane portal has been apocalyptic to allow weak demonic creatures to pass through.

After looking at it for a while, Liang Lidong asked the guards to raise their heads and burn it. He then proceeded to enchant Kyle's armor in his room.

Around the end of the evening, Liang Lidong received a prompt from the system that Kyle had completed the task of saving the little boy's mother, and 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 face was a little strange, and Alice was standing next to him, looking a little worried.

"Mission accomplished. Why do you still have a bitter face? Liang Lidong asked.

Emma is reluctant to get involved in Kyle's affairs, as if to avoid suspicion, and Alice shakes her head, she doesn't understand why Kyle suddenly became like this. Joshua had guessed what the reason was, but he didn't think he should talk too much.

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

After a long while, Kyle finally spoke, "We went to save people just now, and the nobleman treated us very politely. Then we did as you wanted, and then we found the little boy's mother in their slave girl cell. ”

Liang Lidong was a little puzzled: "Isn't it very good?" Why do you feel upset? ”

"At first, I thought that the mother had been taken away by them for no reason." Kyle looked depressed: "But after seeing her, I realized that the mother is very thin and looks like a general, just like the teacher said, it is impossible for the nobles to covet her beauty." ”

Liang Lidong nodded: "This is normal, it is very difficult for beautiful women to appear among the poor." Since I was a child, I worked every day and couldn't eat. If you don't wear warm clothes, no matter how beautiful you are, you have to become a female man with thick hands and feet and sun spots on her face. ”

"She was taken as a slave girl, and we ransomed her with a single silver coin." Kyle was puzzled and said, "We asked her afterwards why she was caught here as a slave girl, do you know how she answered?" ”

"Most of them don't want to be poor anymore. If she suffers or something, she doesn't want to raise children anymore, does she? ”

Kyle jerked his head up, "Teacher, how do you know?" ”

Liang Lidong smiled and said with some nostalgia: "Didn't I tell you, I have also experienced several years of mercenary career. I have also accepted and completed many tasks, and similar things have actually happened to me. A lot of times, things aren't what they seem. ”

Kyle hung his head, very devastated: "After we ransomed her, we wanted to take her back to the slums, but she didn't want to, she said that she had money for her son, saying that her son could live on his own and that she didn't want to be dragged down by her son anymore." So she deliberately stole the money, so that if she didn't pay it back on time, she could become a slave girl. There is food and a place to sleep every day. ”

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

Kyle was ignorant of the loss of his mother and father when he was a child, and in his heart, mother or father should be a sacred word, just like his grandfather, a dearest person. It is impossible for a loved one to abandon his own relatives, but now that he sees a mother who wants to abandon her young son, the sacred word mother has a stain on his heart, and it is natural for him to be hit.

"How did you finally get that woman back to her child?"

It was quiet outside the manor, and the insects chirped, bringing a bit of desolation to the dimming night sky.

Kyle sighed, "Joshua came up with the idea, he gave the woman ten silver coins to return to his son for a while. ”

"But you're worried that the mother will eventually leave, and that young child will probably live short without the protection and nurturing of adults, so you're 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 it suddenly occurred to him that these two girls were supposedly relatively kind people, why did they really not look worried at all? This doesn't match their character!

Liang Lidong patted Kyle on the shoulder: "Because they are women, their intuition tells them that that mother will not abandon her child again." ”

"Why?" Kyle frowned.

"Because that woman is a mother." Liang Lidong explained: "The reason why she abandoned her son was that 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, which must have been the last possession that the woman had sold herself to leave to her son. ”

"If she doesn't want her son to die, why doesn't she want to return to her son after we ransom her back?"

"Six copper coins, you can't buy much food. If it's just a child, it can be eaten for a long time, but what if you add an adult? ”

Kyle's whole body shook, and then he exhaled deeply, "I see...... After Joshua gave her ten silver coins, she was willing to go back because she saw hope for life, right, ten silver coins, it was indeed enough to 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 the dumbest of all is me, even Joshua can understand things, but I don't understand them."

"No, you're mistaken. The only person who can see this is probably Emma. Liang Lidong said with a smile: "Joshua gave the money, purely because he wanted to help you complete the task, Alice is not worried, because she is an elf, her intuition is amazing, and she knows that the mother will not leave." And only Emma, who has lived a lot of people's lives in the prophecy illusion, has a certain understanding of human nature, so she can probably understand what is going on. Human nature is actually very complicated. ”

Kyle's expression finally relaxed after hearing that the woman would not leave his son, and Liang Lidong patted him on the shoulder and went up to the room to enchant the equipment again.

Liang Lidong knows very well that Kyle is a very kind young man, he has all the good qualities that a brave man should have, but only in his understanding of human nature, he has a very serious flaw, which may be the relationship between the old Reed village chief who is too protective of him.

People with such a personality are easy to be led by the nose.

That's why the forces that don't know the details will think of using Emma as a medium to indirectly manipulate Kyle's behavior.

At night, the night breeze is slightly cool.

Kyle sat in front of the window, sighing from time to time. He had always dreamed of becoming a mercenary and wandering around, but during this time, he found that the adventurous days were not as good as he imagined.

The intrigue between people is much more serious than he imagined, and it is not at all as straightforward as it is said in knight novels, and full of romance of battle.

He was very happy when he knew that he really had the blood of a brave, especially when Emma told him that there was a demon god waiting for him to kill, and this was fate, he was shocked on the surface, but in fact, his heart was full of ecstasy and pride.

He aspires to be like his ancestor Kate, a legendary warrior who everyone celebrates.

But the truth is cruel, the omnipotent teacher discovers that the so-called 'fate' is just a manipulated script, that powerful force hidden in the darkness, just treats him, a descendant of the brave, like a puppet, and wants to use him to achieve some ulterior purposes.

Although the affairs of the brave man were a little different from what he imagined, Kyle was still not discouraged at the time, he felt that he could not do great things, but it was still no problem to protect some ordinary people.

Today's mission to save the little boy's mother, he is full of confidence and ready to make a big fuss, save the mother, and punish the unreasonable and despicable nobleman.

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

If it weren't for the teacher's patient explanation, he would still be misunderstanding the mother.

If you are stupid, are you really a descendant of the brave? Is it really qualified to be a brave man?

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

She said he wasn't a good husband and would only dwell on remorse. At that time, there was a trace of unconvincing in his heart, is it wrong to remember the old man? But now that I think about it, I may really be a hopeless man.

As the depression continues, Kyle senses that he may really be going crazy and that he must find someone to talk to, and with that thought, he knocks on Alice's bedroom door. (To be continued.) )
