222 The villain speaks
After leaving the royal city of Yilan, the carriage went all the way east.
Luo Ning finally asked Milia to return the rented carriage. He circled around a lot and went to the gate of the city to pick up the horse he fostered.
This horse has been fostered outside the city gate for half a month. When the reins returned to Luo Ning’s hands, he was a little stunned.
Miria laughed at him when she saw this.
“No ordinary person would buy a horse. Except for individual adventurers and wealthy businessmen who need to travel frequently, ordinary people will lose money if they buy a horse!”
To the east outside the city of Yilan, the horses walked all the way to the top of the hill along the paved stone road.
As a little fisherman, Milia naturally sat in the carriage, while Luo Ning was in charge of driving the carriage.
Her smiling voice came from the carriage.
Milia opened the curtain, lay her upper body on the window, and looked at Luo Ning’s back.
“Look at this thin horse, it’s almost impossible to walk!”
When the horse Luo Ning bought from Xicheng returned to Luo Ning’s hands, it had lost a lot of weight. The ribs on the back were very prominent, and the shriveled fur was sinking in. It looked especially pitiful.
Luo Ning sighed: “I have paid them enough money for horse straw.”
“Just those profiteers, you believe them too? I guess this horse hasn’t had a good meal since it left your hands!”
“My little apprentice is still too young.”
While laughing at Luo Ning, Miria took out a bundle of horse straw from the space ring and put it in the carriage.
“When you leave the neighborhood, find an open space to stop. I have horse grass here, so I can let the horses eat first.”
Milia sighed: “Hey, fortunately, you have a careful and responsible master who is well prepared for your trip, otherwise you will have to walk to the mission site this time~”
Luo Ning listened silently, then nodded slightly.
It’s a lesson learned this time.
The speed of the horses was rather slow, and every time the hoofs were raised, it seemed to be strenuous.
Luo Ning thought to let it stop and eat before leaving, so he let go of the reins.
Seeing that the speed of the wheel was getting slower and slower, Milia reminded him repeatedly.
“Don’t let go of the rope, whip quickly, let’s go faster.”
Luo Ning’s ‘why’ didn’t have time to ask, Milia continued.
“There are robbers around here.”
“Don’t look at the peacefulness of Yilan King City. In fact, it’s just an illusion caused by the fact that there are more patrolmen in the city. The status quo of the Crotal Empire is actually not as peaceful as it seems on the surface.”
“Recently, the number of robbers is increasing. When you go out, you must take more precautions.”
Milia supported her head, and she was not idle, her eyes glanced back and forth in front of her.
“Although there are a large number of guards in the royal city of Yilan, those people are only guarding the city. No matter how chaotic outside the city, they will not interfere… Especially in this area, this is the best place for robbers to haunt.”
Luo Ning frowned when he heard it, he quickly pumped the horse’s butt and urged the horse to run.
“Do you know what occupation those robbers were originally?”
There was no movement around, Milia breathed a sigh of relief and asked Luo Ning.
Luo Ning only took a second to think, and then he answered decisively.
“adventurer.”
“Yes, very clever.”
Milia was surprised that her apprentice’s IQ was so high.
Although he looks dumb and doesn’t like to talk much, his brain is actually very flexible.
Milia didn’t realize that it wasn’t that Luo Ning didn’t like to talk, but that she was too chatty, and basically said everything Luo Ning wanted to say every time.
“Now all the adventurers in the empire are going to lose their jobs, and there are fewer and fewer demons on the continent. The ones who survive are basically some demons that have no ‘value’. Not to mention that the materials cannot be obtained, the number of commissions from the Adventurer’s Guild It’s also pitiful.”
“Among those robbers, some are retired ‘hunters’. Hunters, you know, are professional people who make a special trip to the Devil’s territory to plunder resources. High income also comes with high risks, but recently the magic barrier has been strengthened. Those hunters who can’t get in and are used to killing and collecting materials have a hard time going to the tavern to wash dishes, so they can only hide in the dark and hijack some passing carriages…”
Milia looked at the long gravel road in the distance and thought deeply.
“Sometimes I really think that, in fact, adventurers and demons should be in a coexisting relationship. Fishing and fishing will only bring both sides into a desperate situation. If the demons disappear completely in the future, the profession of adventurer will also disappear completely.”
“But, hey…” Milia shook her head.
“Even if the adventurers understand these truths, it is impossible for them to understand the hatred of human beings for the demons… Maybe one day, the magic tools in hand can no longer be produced, and the tortoise bile that can be easily detoxified will no longer be available. There is no way to obtain it, and they can come to their senses.”
From the point of view of an adventurer, Milia has her own set of understandings.
But her understanding was wrong here in Luo Ning.
What she thought was to think from the perspective of the ‘Supremacy of the Human Race’, subconsciously, she had already classified the Demons as beings like livestock and supplies.
But in fact, the demons are intelligent creatures, and they cannot be content with the status quo.
Just as human beings should classify demons as ‘animals’ that can steal viscera, skin and horns, human beings are weak ‘food’ that can be swallowed raw in the eyes of demons.
Coupled with the hatred between the two races, this is not something that can be resolved by a few wars or a long time.
“Hey, why don’t you speak and stay like a wooden board.”
Milia was lying on the window frame, reaching out and poking Lonin’s back.
Luo Ning shook his head and recovered from his thoughts.
Seeing that he hadn’t responded yet, Milia was going to reach out and squeeze his face this time.
“Hey, what about you, if it were you, what would you do to solve the current situation?”
Milia asked Luo Ning while rubbing her face.
Luo Ning’s face was rubbed red, he was thinking about how to answer Milia’s question.
After a long time, he spoke.
“There is indeed a way.”
“any solution?”
Milia blinked and couldn’t wait to hear what Luoning’s little apprentice had to say.
But Luo Ning’s next words frightened her.
“If all living beings are zeroed, all hatred will disappear.”
“In short, get rid of everyone and restart the world.”
Perhaps only Luo Ning can say such words. After all, to him, ‘restarting the world’ is to delete hundreds of thousands of words of documents and write them again.
Not easy, but definitely not difficult.
Milia was stunned when she heard the whole person, and after a long while she tapped Luo Ning on the shoulder.
“I’ll go, what kind of big villain’s speech are you!”
Luo Ning was punched by his master just like that.
He actually thought it was outrageous, those words were just his unintentional giggles.
“……I’m just kidding.”
“I almost thought I had taught a big villain apprentice myself!” Milia said excitedly.
After she finished speaking, she beat Luo Ning again.
Luo Ning smiled faintly under this neither light nor heavy fist.
Maybe the character identified as the villain by the protagonist is really the villain?
In Luo Ning’s arms, Raphael, who was sleeping in the middle, opened his eyes gently.
In the moment just now, she seemed to have found the truth in the words of Lord God.
