The demons are actually monitoring them here. Are they trying to stop them from killing the resurrected demon god?

Many thoughts were turning around Liang Lidong's mind, but because there were too few clues and what happened recently was too strange. Whether it was the person behind Brooke or Emma's soul world, they seemed to be targeted at them in a hazy malice, so he did not have an accurate judgment point to confirm what role the four of them were in it.

But no matter what, Liang Lidong didn't want to follow the other party's steps. At worst, he could turn the chessboard. He has done this much in the game, and now he is very easy to do.

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

This corpse exudes a foul smell that only creatures in the Demon Realm have. Generally speaking, creatures in the Demon Realm have this smell. Except for succubus and shadow demons, other creatures in the Demon Realm generally smell very bad.

The guards were far away. Liang Lidong covered his nose and looked forward for a while, then shook his head: This is just an ordinary creature in the demon world, a little demon. Although his potential is very good, his strength is average before he transforms. Ordinary professions can knock down four or five at will, but if they transform, their strength will increase greatly.

The little demon has certain stealth ability and is very suitable for being a scout. And there are many people, so it will not be a pity to die.

However, if the little demon can be summoned to the human world, its owner is most likely a demon warlock, and of course it is also possible that apocalypse of a small magic plane portal, allowing weak creatures in the demon world to pass through.

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

About the evening, Liang Lidong received a prompt from the system that Kyle had completed the task of saving the little boy's mother. Not long after, 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. Alice stood beside him, as if she was a little worried.

"The mission has been completed, why are you still having a bitter face?" Liang Lidong asked.

Emma was not willing to participate in Kyle's affairs, and seemed to have the intention to avoid suspicion. Alice also shook her head, she didn't understand why Kyle suddenly became like this. Joshua had guessed the reason, but he felt that he shouldn't talk too much.

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

After a while, Kyle finally spoke: "We went to save people just now, and the noble family treated us politely. Then we approached them as the teacher, and then we found the little boy's mother in their slave prison room."

Liang Lidong was a little puzzled: "Isn't this very good? Why do you feel unhappy?"

"At first I thought that mother was taken away by them for no reason." Kyle looked depressed: "But after seeing her, I realized that the mother was very thin and looked like the same. Just like the teacher, the nobles could not covet her beauty."

Liang Lidong nodded: "This is normal. It is very difficult for the poor to have a beautiful woman. Since childhood, I have worked every day, can't eat enough, and don't wear warm clothes. No matter how beautiful I am, I have to become a tomboy with thick hands and feet and sun-spots on my face."

"She was treated as a female slave, and we redeem her with a silver coin." Kyle said in confusion: "We asked her afterwards why she was caught here as a female slave. Do you know how she answered?"

"It's probably because she doesn't want to suffer from poverty or suffering from it anymore. She doesn't want to raise children anymore, right?"

Kyle suddenly raised his head: "How do you know, teacher?"

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. In fact, I have encountered similar things, and many times, things are not what they seem to be."

Kyle lowered her head and was hit hard: "After we redeemed her, we wanted to take her back to the slum, but she didn't want to. She said she had money for her son, saying that her son could live on his own and was already full of kindness. She didn't want to be dragged down by her son anymore. So she deliberately went to steal money, so that if she didn't pay it back on time, she could become a female slave. She had 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 a very sacred word, just like grandpa, they are close relatives. Neighbors cannot abandon their relatives, but now he sees a mother who wants to abandon his young son. The sacred word of mother has stains in his heart, and it is natural to be hit.

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

The outside of the manor is very quiet, with insects chirping, bringing a bit of desolation to the gradually dim night sky.

Kyle sighed: "It was Joshua who came up with the woman with ten silver coins, so that she could temporarily return to her son."

"But you are worried that the mother will leave in the end, and if the young child does not have the protection and nurturing of the adults, he will probably not live long, so you are worried about that child now, right?"

Kyle nodded.

Liang Lidong asked again: "Then why are Emma, ​​Alice and others not worried?"

Kyle was stunned, and then he suddenly thought that these two girls were both kind-hearted people, so why did they really look like they were not worried at all? This did not match their personalities!

Liang Lidong patted Kyle on the shoulder: "Because they are women, their intuition tells them that the mother will no longer abandon her children."

"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 starve to death in front of her. You said that the little boy had six copper coins, and that must be the last property left by the woman to sell herself and leave her to her son."

"Since she doesn't want her son to die, why did she not want to return to her son after we redeem her?"

"Six copper coins can be bought with not much food. If you only eat it for a child, you can eat it for a long time, but what if you add an adult?"

Kyle's whole body shook, and then he breathed deeply: "So that's it... After Joshua gave her ten silver coins, she was willing to go back because she saw the hope of living, right? Ten silver coins can do a lot, enough for them to buy a piece of land outside the city and build a small brick house."

"It turns out that the stupidest thing among all of us is me, and even Joshua can see clearly, but I didn't understand it."

"No, you made a mistake. The only person who can understand this may be Emma." Liang Lidong smiled and said, "Joshua gave money purely because he wanted to help you complete the task. Alice was not worried because she was an elf, had amazing intuition and knew that the mother would not leave. Only Emma. She lived a life of many people in the illusion of prophecy and had a certain understanding of human nature, so she could probably understand what was going on. Human nature is actually very complicated."

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

Liang Lidong knew very well that Kyle was a very kind boy. He had all the excellent qualities that a brave man should have, but only in terms of human nature, he had serious flaws. This may be because the old village chief Reed protected him too much.

People with such personality are easily led by others.

That's why that powerless force, who was not aware of the details, wanted to use 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 when he didn't come in. He had always dreamed of becoming a mercenary and wandering around, but during this period, he found that the days of adventure were not as beautiful as he imagined.

The intrigue between people is much more serious than he imagined, not as straightforward as the knight novels say, and full of fighting romance.

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

He hopes to become a legendary hero who is praised by everyone like his ancestor Kate.

But the facts are cruel. The omnipotent teacher discovered that the so-called "fate" was just a manipulated script. The powerful force hidden in the darkness only treated him as a descendant of the brave as a puppet, trying to use him to achieve some ulterior motives.

Although the brave man'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 no problem in protecting some ordinary people.

Today, he was confidently preparing to make a big fuss, save the mother and punish the unreasonable and despicable nobleman.

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

If the teacher hadn't explained patiently, he would have been misunderstanding the mother now.

If you are stupid, are you really descendants of the brave? Are you really qualified to be a brave?

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

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