Wow——
The girl squatted by the stream and put her blood-stained hands into the stream. The blood that had condensed and dried on her hands was not washed away by the flowing stream. Instead, the blood stains that had faded due to dryness were once again Come to life.
Shireen's eyes were blank. There was a dagger that was also stained with blood beside her feet. She squatted quietly like this without rubbing the blood stains with her hands. Her eyes looked extremely ethereal at this time. It was as if I saw something unknown through those streams.
snap——
The sound of footsteps beside her made Shirin suddenly tremble. She suddenly picked up the dagger and looked at her side. After seeing the person clearly, her tense nerves relaxed a little.
"...Shalia, sir...?"
The little witch slowly squatted beside Shirin. She looked at the elf girl's wet hands and the blood-stained dagger with an expressionless face.
"Aren't you going to wash it off?"
Shalia asked.
"I... wash it off. Want me to wash it off right away."
Then Shirin began to clean the blood stains on her hands seriously in the stream, but Shalia suddenly leaned into her ear and whispered something.
"You like blood very much."
Shalia's pupils trembled suddenly, and the hands that were rubbing each other suddenly froze. She slowly turned her head and met the witch's gaze.
"I'm afraid of blood. I don't like blood."
She spoke word by word, and it seemed that it was very difficult to express her current psychology clearly.
"Yeah?"
Shalia didn't ask her any more questions, just an indifferent smile appeared on her lips, and then she slowly picked up Shirin's dagger.
"This dagger breaks the fighting spirit of sixth-level warriors. It's really a good weapon."
Shirin didn't answer. She suddenly felt that the demon around her was very scary, just like the first day when He Wen brought her home, and she began to tremble again.
"This is Eve's dagger. Although she is a princess, she is just a concubine, so her weapon may not be that good, so..."
Shalia casually threw the dagger into the creek.
"ah!!"
Shireen suddenly seemed startled, and she threw herself into the stream. Fortunately, the water was not deep and only reached Shireen's thigh. The dagger was not washed away because of its weight. She grabbed the dagger in the water and protected it with both hands. She looked warily at Shalliya on the shore.
"The master is very smart and powerful, but he lacks some basic common sense about the world. For example, it is impossible for a fragile elf girl holding an ordinary dagger to quietly approach a sixth-level warrior and still be able to Break his fighting spirit."
Shalia squatted on the spot, supporting her chin with both hands, looking at the elf girl whose clothes and hair were wet by the stream, and said in a slightly low voice.
"I said, you are not an ordinary elf, right?"
There was a faint light in the witch's eyes, and when she looked at Shirin, it was as if she was conducting some kind of trial on her.
Shireen grabbed the dagger, her whole body was trembling with cold from being wet by the stream water, she opened her mouth tremblingly and said.
"No... don't know, I... don't know, why, you, want, want to throw away, my, my stuff, this, this is Eve... give mine......"
After hearing Shireen's words, a scarlet light suddenly bloomed in Shalia's eyes. After seeing this light, Shireen seemed to be petrified and stood there unable to move.
After about a minute or so, Shalia slowly closed her eyes, and at this time, Shirin fell directly into the stream as if she was relieved.
"Indeed, I don't see any problem with you, but I will pay close attention to you. If you have any intentions towards the master, I advise you..."
Shalia's words showed that she had just released a magic similar to a physical examination on Shireen, but she couldn't continue in the middle of her words.
Because she saw that the elf girl sitting in the creek had blushing cheeks, tears welling up in her eyes, and she had already begun to cry.
"Why... you, you are so scary... so scary..."
"..."
Shalia frowned, and finally swallowed what she wanted to say. She sighed, raised her hand and snapped her fingers. The elf girl's body floated directly up from the stream and landed on the bank.
Then Shalia took off her robe and threw it to Shirin.
"Sorry about what happened just now."
Shalia blinked slightly at Shireen and showed a faint smile. Then she stood up and left the creek, leaving only the elf girl wearing a robe, sitting alone on the bank and sobbing.
In fact, how could He Wen not discover Shilin's uniqueness.
Although he does not understand the power system of this world, even the returning Eric Darren would never allow an elf girl who is more fragile than an ordinary human to approach him with a dagger without any magic at all. Throat cut.
But he didn't say anything, and he didn't even feel scared at all.
He only regards this as a talent, and this talent will be a good help in the next actions.
But when he thought of Shilin's trembling look after seeing the blood, He Wen sighed again. If possible, he really didn't want her to show that expression again.
But when He Wen recalled the scene when Shirin was sprayed with blood on her hands, he suddenly had a doubt in his heart.
It was too confusing at the time so I didn’t have time to think about it carefully.
Looking back now...
Shireen's expression, that expression, is it really fear and fear?
Why do I feel now that it seems to be a tremor caused by extreme excitement?
When he has time, he must go to Shalia to learn about the elves. In his impression, elves are sacred, noble, and the race most compatible with nature and magic.
But in this world, elves are not sacred, they are even beings enslaved and hunted by humans, and they do not know magic, and are now in a state of near extinction.
So how different are the elves in this world from what I remember?
Just when He Wen was thinking this, the elders Huck and Harudo, as well as several other orc elders walked in.
"professor."
Several people respected He Wen very much, although they were indeed scared when they saw He Wen's power before. Except for Harudo and Hal, perhaps even the elder Huck had a desire to stay away from He Wen. Wen’s idea.
But now think about it carefully, what did He Wen bring when he came to their village?
That was a huge change. First, he helped the dying orcs get a new life, then he healed their injuries, and finally he led them to complete an almost impossible war.
Although there are still some orcs in the village who are afraid of He Wen, they are only a minority, and they have not done anything drastic.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the three people walking in with embarrassed expressions, He Wen was a little confused.
"Professor, your...those...uh, soldiers..."
Elder Huck spoke with some embarrassment.
It seemed that he originally wanted to say monster, but finally changed his mind. He Wen immediately understood what was going on.
"Well, I'll be out right away."
