"That's the Shadow Snake, a serpentine monster that likes to follow the Shadow Thorn Ape. After the Shadow Thorn Ape attacks the human camp, the Shadow Snakes will also blend in and devour the corpses of humans.

They are more difficult assassins to deal with than the Shadowthorn Ape, but there are not as many as the Shadow Thorn Ape, and seeing one or two in a single attack is quite a lot. ”

Noticing the surprise on Zhuang Xiaoyuan's face, Ellie glanced at the shadow snake that was flattened by Maddy with her shield and explained softly. Although several people were fine in this sneak attack, the casualties of the soldiers were somewhat heavy.

Although he is not related to these soldiers, he is also a person who protects himself, and he used to eat barbecue happily together, but now he has lost so much at once, which makes Ellie's mood a little uncomfortable.

As the daughter of the Duke's family, Ellie's personality is kind and friendly, and she can talk to ordinary civilians, and she is also close friends with Kester. But after all, she is still the eldest lady of the duke's family, and this feeling of loss is the first time she feels it.

"I see, in this way, this side is completely solved, but the other side is ......" nodded, Zhuang Xiaoyuan turned his head to look in the direction of Huang Zhiguo, the chaos on the side of the Red Country was calmed down, and after the Shadow Thorn Ape was eliminated, the Huang Zhiguo side was still in chaos.

"Madoka, shall we help?" Looking at Zhuang Xiaoyuan's line of sight, what caught his eye was the slightly flustered situation on Huang Zhiguo's side, and he could vaguely hear exclamations from there.

"No, I don't."

"Nope."

Zhuang Xiaoyuan's answer and Teacher Helena's answer came out almost at the same time. Looking up at Teacher Helena with a surprised face, Zhuang Xiaoyuan didn't care about her surprise, just looked down at Kester beside him and replied:

"We don't need to do that thankless job. Even if we really want to help them, for them who are in chaos right now, they will think that we have bad intentions and plan to fish in troubled waters, so we just have to watch. ”

"That's right. Kester, all you have to do is prepare for the battle for the crown in the central region later. No one else cares about them. And the country of Huang may also become your competitor. If they can lose something this time, it will be in our favor. ”

looked at Zhuang Xiaoyuan with some surprise, but he didn't expect Zhuang Xiaoyuan to have such insight at a young age. After being surprised by Zhuang Xiaoyuan's words, Teacher Helena also took Zhuang Xiaoyuan's words and continued to teach Kester.

It's no wonder that Teacher Helena was surprised, after all, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's age does not look very old, even if Mordred looks a little older than Zhuang Xiaoyuan's body, but it is fifteen or sixteen years old, and it does not look like other races that are not human, he is a real human brave.

You must know that the brave who can be summoned by the summoners of this world are either the brave who have died, or the brave who is at the most glorious moment.

Whether they are summoned after the death of the Brave or the existence of the Brave at their most glorious moment, most of the Brave are in an older state. There are not many young braves, and even if there are, they will not be very strong, after all, they are young.

Of course, elves like Kailina can't be judged by age, elves are a long-lived species that can't be compared with humans, and humans can't tell the age of elves at all.

But Zhuang Xiaoyuan's appearance is undoubtedly human, and her age is obviously not very old. Human beings at this age become brave and basically do not have much insight and ability.

After all, whether it was an untimely death or a brilliant moment of being called, Zhuang Xiaoyuan's age had already limited her development at that time. That's why Teacher Helena was surprised by Zhuang Xiaoyuan's insight, and this kind of cognition is indeed not like what she can understand at her age.

Zhuang Xiaoyuan didn't know anything about Teacher Helena's surprise and secret evaluation of herself, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care. She is a completely different existence from ordinary braves, if you want to count, her body is not a brave, but a god, or the most primordial god in the world.

Besides, she has experienced several worlds, and Zhuang Xiaoyuan is no longer the naïve she was at the beginning, just the knowledge on the journey is enough to make Zhuang Xiaoyuan grow. What's more, Zhuang Xiaoyuan himself is not as young as he looks like on the outside.

"But if we just look at it, a lot of people will die on their side." After hearing the words of Zhuang Xiaoyuan and Teacher Helena, Kester lowered his head and was silent for a while, and finally looked up at Zhuang Xiaoyuan with some confusion and said.

"Kester, I told you. Kindness is okay, but you have to find the direction that your kindness gives. If you want to help the people of the Yellow Country here today, are you sure that the people of the Yellow Country will be grateful for your help today in the future and will not become your enemies? ”

Hearing Kester's words, Zhuang Xiaoyuan lowered his head and looked at each other with his gaze, and asked with a serious expression on his face.

"I'm not sure, but if you want to do good, you shouldn't be looking for something in return. If you want to be appreciated by others before doing a good deed, it's not a good thing, it's a transaction. ”

With a stubborn expression on his face, Kester looked up at Zhuang Xiaoyuan, looked at his own figure reflected in her eyes, and said in a firm tone.

"It's not about the deal, it's not about getting gratitude, I just want to ask you one thing. Are you really sure that after that, those people of the Yellow Kingdom that you saved will not harm your relatives, will not become an obstacle to your seizure of the Crystal Crown, and will not be swords against you for some purpose? ”

Hearing Kester's answer, Zhuang Xiaoyuan raised his eyebrows lightly, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face, he didn't expect the introverted Kester to be able to say such tough words, which made Zhuang Xiaoyuan a little surprised.

And Zhuang Xiaoyuan is actually quite happy that Kester can say such a thing, which also shows that he is not wrong, Kester is indeed a good person, but sometimes being too kind will hurt himself, so Zhuang Xiaoyuan must teach him one thing other than kindness.

"I'm not sure, but we can't choose not to do it because of the unknown possibilities of the future. I'd rather regret it after doing it than regret it for not doing it this time. ”

From the very beginning of meeting, Kester felt that his brave man should be the same person as himself, a very good person. After that, I was really good, I took care of myself, I could talk to my mother, and I got along well with my friends.

However, at this time, hearing Zhuang Xiaoyuan denying what he wanted to do again and again made Kester a little sad, but this denial also made Kester more determined.
