298 Chalet on the Hill
“Nothing too strange.” Luo Ning seemed to understand his emotions.
“Enemies and companions are just a matter of position. It’s true that the enemies of the demons are the entire empire, but they are only those imperial troops and nobles. They have nothing to do with civilians. You don’t have to hate the human race too much.”
“But humans hate demons…” Perseus couldn’t help but retorted.
“Not always.”
Luo Ning went on to say: “Many people are evil and greedy, but there are also many people who are kind and innocent. As long as you don’t hurt them, they will accept you.”
Luo Ning didn’t expect his words to make Perseus’ deep-rooted demon thinking understand, but he still wanted to emphasize one sentence.
“Put your claws away and stop touching those two people.”
Lorning glanced at Perseus.
His eyes were not ‘discussing’, his slightly narrowed eyes were threatening Perseus alive.
Perseus closed the wolf’s mouth, then nodded vigorously.
He changed back to the appearance of a human uncle.
With his head down, he followed Luo Ning up the hill.
The bright silver moonlight had already fallen on the ground, and the evening wind blew up from the soles of the feet along the grass, messing up the hair.
In all, Perseus had not seen the silver moon a few times, nor had he seen a sky full of stars.
So when he looked at the sky, he couldn’t help but be surprised by the starlight in front of him.
The bright moon is very beautiful, and the stars twinkling around it are like a kind of embellishment, complementing each other, beautiful and wonderful.
Perseus couldn’t even help but want to stand on the top of the mountain, raise his head, and then let out a lone wolf howl in the moonlight.
Even so, although the moonlight here is beautiful, he still thinks that the moon of the Demon Race is rounder, and the one in his hometown is the best.
Perseus was looking at his head and walking, completely unaware that the person in front of him had stopped.
He didn’t pay attention and bumped into Luo Ning’s back.
This werewolf had a strong body, and this impact would knock Luo Ning out.
Luo Ning raised his head and glanced at Perseus lightly.
Perseus sweated like rain, and immediately took his eyes back and took a good look at the road.
Luo Ning stood in front of the familiar wooden door.
This place is very close to the royal city of Yilan. For Luoning, whether it is used to ‘foster’ Perseus, or to rest, it is the best choice.
Now this time is just after the evening, and there is still smoke curling from the chimney of the wooden house. It is estimated that it is not long after dinner.
Indistinctly, Luo Ning heard the vague voices of conversation in the room, the sound was blocked by the thick wooden door, and the content of the words could not be heard clearly.
‘Knock knock knock,’
With three rhythmic knocks on the door, the voices of the people inside stopped abruptly.
Then came a series of small footsteps, and… similar to the creaking sound of table legs rubbing against the ground when carrying seats.
About two minutes later, the wooden door was opened.
The people behind the wooden door were quite vigilant, but there was a gap, revealing a pair of watery eyes, looking at the people at the door timidly and curiously.
“Yes, who is it?”
The man outside the door turned his back to the moonlight, and his dark figure made his face invisible.
The warm fire in the house just fell on the man’s short boots from the crack of the door, and the girl looked up and down vigilantly until she heard a familiar voice.
“Nicole, it’s me.”
His eyes widened, and there was water in them.
The pink cat ears stood up suddenly, and all the attention of the whole body was locked on the boy outside the door.
“Master, master…?”
Seemingly unbelievable, the cat girl stared out of the house, her nose sore for a while.
She gently moved the chair that was blocking the door, she opened the wooden door, and then she could see each other clearly.
After confirming that the boy in front of her was the one she was thinking about, the girl stepped forward, and the clean round-toed shoes made a sound on the wooden board.
She almost jumped over.
But before hugging Luo Ning, his arms stopped unconsciously.
“Master, can I, can I hug you…”
She raised her head, instead of expressing her excitement willfully, she first cowardly asked for the other party’s consent.
Luo Ning raised his hand and rubbed the two triangular cat ears.
The cat girl shrank her neck, but there was a happy smile on her face.
Those ears are quite soft, similar to the little stray cat that Luo Ning once touched on the side of the road.
The expression is similar, and while timidly shrinking his neck, he meows cheerfully and lets people touch his head.
Take a look at what this pink cat girl is wearing, a small off-white dress, clean small leather shoes, and an apron tied in front of her stomach for convenience.
Although it can’t be called gorgeous or delicate, it is much better than when Nicole first came here.
The spirit is also particularly full, which means that she lives very well here.
After getting Luo Ning’s nod to agree, Nicole’s hesitant face suddenly burst into a smile.
She rushed over without any hesitation, hugged Luo Ning’s arms tightly, and now she can act like a spoiled child.
The familiar smell calmed her down, but after relying on it for a while, there was no willfulness.
“The owner smells like a dog…”
The small tip of her nose pressed against Luo Ning’s chest and sniffed a few times, then she raised her head and looked at the source of the smell.
There was a tall man over there. Facing the gaze cast by her, he was twitching the corners of his mouth and greeting him with a forced smile.
“……Hello?”
Perseus had blue veins on his forehead.
If he heard correctly, this little orc just confuses his scent with ‘dogs’? !
Dogs are dogs, wolves are wolves, and Perseus will not allow this little girl to not even understand such things! !
But judging from the fact that she and the God of Creation are somewhat close…
Sure enough.
“Huh, Nicole and I both thought it was the Imperial Army knocking on the door… It turns out that you guys are back, come in kids.”
Inside the house, the old man walked slowly, walking with a cane.
The old man didn’t even ask why they came here, the word ‘coming back’ she used was enough to express her opinion on the two of Luo Ning.
Raz’s eyes lit up, he raised his hand and kept saying hello to the old man.
“grandmother!”
“Hey!” The old man smiled lovingly, and the corners of his eyes were full of wrinkles from the years.
Nicole took the initiative to lead Raz into the house. Since the last time, the relationship between the two has been very good.
“Is the journey of Miss Raz and the master going smoothly?”
“Hey, it went well, God… My lord is amazing, Raz and lord have gone to many places!”
The two little guys walked in front, talking as they walked.
“By the way, compared to this, Raz has something to ask Nicole!”
“Miss Raz, please speak.”
“Raz is hungry, do you have anything to eat?”
“Yes! Miss Raz wants to eat fried beef, Nicole is going to prepare!”
“You have to eat, you have to eat a hundred servings!”
“Um!”
Raz directly regarded this house as his home, and was totally rude.
With a kick of her feet, she took off her shoes and sat on the soft chair, happily cooking a fire in front of the stove.
At the door, Luo Ning has walked in, and Perseus is still standing in the shadows, a little hesitant.
“Come in.”
Lorning held the door with one hand and looked at Perseus.
For Perseus, he was always an orphan who never passed through the house.
He had never even been to the commoners’ houses in Demon King City, let alone the warm houses of human beings.
He was afraid that he would accidentally demolish the fragile wooden house.
But the God of Creation said that this is where he will stay for a few days in the future. Not only him, but also the invisible White Feather Dragon on the north side of the hill will also stay here with him.
Before Luoning’s patience was exhausted, Perseus still swallowed a mouthful of saliva and followed Luoning into the room.
He found a corner to squat, Luo Ning ignored him, but went straight to the old man.
The old grandmother was sitting in the rocking chair, listening to Raz tell her some interesting things. She nodded in agreement, and her face was full of smiles.
Luo Ning interrupted Raz’s passionate bragging for the time being, and he asked the old man.
“Is the Imperial Army coming to you recently?”
Luo Ning remembered Nicole’s act of hiding behind the door just now, and the Imperial Army seemed to have knocked on the door more than once.
“I’ve been here, they’re looking for young men to serve… Residents outside the royal city have been searched by them.”
The old man’s tone was helpless, and he shook his head.
“You don’t have people who are suitable for service. How will the Imperial Army deal with you in the end?”
“I handed over the cows in the cowshed to them, otherwise, those people would not give up at all…”
Luo Ning saw the helpless expression of the old man. He stared at the fire in the fireplace and couldn’t help but say.
“What’s the difference between them and robbers tying knots?”
“There really is no difference…” The old man sighed, “They are going to attack the Demon Race, and now they are looking for people to fill up their numbers… This time the empire is going to hollow out the inside and outside of the Yilan King City…”
“Children, don’t travel during this time. If you are seen by the empire, you will be arrested, and you will be pushed into the battlefield at that time!”
The old man held Luo Ning’s hand with real eyes.
She had already lost her son, and when she saw that Luo Ning was about to be in danger, she still wanted to try to persuade Luo Ning.
The old man’s palms were dry, covered with cocoons from years of labor, and wrinkled, like branches that were about to dry up.
Luo Ning looked at these dry hands, and accidentally remembered the grandma who loved him very much when he was a child.
If grandma was still there, she would probably be about the same age as the old man in front of her.
Luo Ning’s subconscious didn’t want to lie to the old man, so he didn’t tell even a white lie.
But Raz, who was behind him, volunteered to stand up.
“Don’t worry, grandma, my adults are very strong and will not be bullied by the imperial army!”
“Silly boy, he was taken away by the Imperial Army because of his strength… The most they want to take away are young people who can master magic like you.”
Perhaps in the eyes of the old man, the empire is a mountain that no one can shake, and whatever they want, they will get it no matter what.
Young magicians like Luo Ning are even more handy to the Empire.
“No, no, my adults can beat them to pieces!”
“Hmph, if Raz knows who took away the cows from Grandma’s house, Raz will definitely make them suffer!”
Raz rolled up his sleeves, his little face indignant.
