Luo Wei felt inexplicably being teased.
Taking a first-level god shopping was not as heavy a burden as he imagined.
Maybe when he returns the divine core, she can truly adapt to everything in this world like a young girl.
"Hey! Brother over there, can you help me?"
Someone on the street was using a rope to pull the stone pillar that was pressing on the house. It seemed that someone was trapped underneath, and there was a lack of manpower.
This problem could have been solved by craftsmen, but the equipment and supplies seemed to be insufficient.
Luo Wei signaled with his eyes, but Minoni didn't intend to just watch.
"Let me do it too."
Well, providing help is the fastest way to integrate. The other person generally doesn't mind who you are when expressing gratitude.
The two came to the free end of the rope and listened to the leader's command and pulled back——
The fallen stone pillar was immediately pulled up, and almost hit everyone in turn. The people trapped inside were quickly rescued.
After doing this, the leader came over and smiled at Luo Wei, "Thank you, little brother, you are so strong!"
Luo Wei: "..."
In fact, he didn't contribute much at all.
It was all the fault of the understated first-level god behind him.
"And this lady, thank you for your willingness to help. We will definitely get through this disaster!"
"Well, you're welcome." Minoni said calmly.
When the other party continued to invest in the rescue, Luo Wei glanced at her.
"Isn't that a nice response?"
"Really?" Minoni opened her eyes slightly, "I still can't recognize the difference."
"Sometimes it's actually better to think less. The more you think, the more choices you have in your mind. In the end, you don't know how to respond."
"Is that so? What you said...makes sense."
She still doesn't feel natural.
But in the final analysis, it is still a bit difficult to understand the supreme god speaking in a human way, even if she has been trying this.
It's normal when talking about business, but in trivial daily communication, useless information takes up more parts, which may make her confused.
Since there is no need, why say more?
If there is no information, why express it?
She probably just hasn't understood that communicating with others is actually a pleasant thing. Of course, Shaye hasn't even figured out the human and sophistication part yet, let alone this outsider demon.
"Chicken balls! Tender and juicy big chicken balls!"
Attracted by the shouting, Minoni looked over there.
Luo Wei understood.
Just let her go shopping and be satisfied today.
After packing it back and reminding her to pay attention to the perm, Luo Wei watched her take a bite, and the liquid burst into her mouth. The girl blinked, her eyes dropped slightly, and her movements stopped there.
"What should I do if I'm scared on the streets?"
she asked.
White liquid flowed down her mouth.
Luo Wei: "..."
"You can eat it, it's okay."
Hearing his words, Minoni raised her chin, put her hand on her mouth and swallowed, swallowing the chicken cheese juice that was about to flow out of her mouth.
Luo Wei looked at her with a wry smile and handed her a handkerchief, but he didn't have the courage to go up and wipe her mouth.
"It has a very rich milk flavor, mixed with the juice from the chicken, and it has a very delicious taste."
"At times like this, just say it's delicious."
"……Yeah?"
After not eating for twelve hundred years, Luo Wei did not expect that his reaction after tasting the food would be such a serious comment.
Hmm... From the description, her sense of taste is similar to that of a human. Chicken balls in white sauce itself is a snack of chicken breast wrapped in white cheese. It is easy to make and seems to be very popular not only in Shiyuan but also abroad.
The two of them walked along the busy reconstructed street.
Stay close to things you are interested in, and help when you meet someone who needs help.
After getting rid of a few more mercenaries who took advantage of the chaos, Minoni looked back at him: "Is this the current situation of the human world?"
Luo Wei shook his head at her.
"The human world is not static. Yesterday and the day before yesterday, the atmosphere of this city was completely different from today."
"Changes...Humans are such a magical species."
"But it doesn't change all the time," Rowe looked up at the sky in the distance. "In fact, there are many towns where the atmosphere doesn't change much."
Minoni followed him and looked at the half-set sun, unable to express an opinion.
At this moment, Luo Wei lowered his head and smiled, looked at her and said, "Do you want to take a look?"
The girl's bright starry eyes turned around, and for the first time light lit up inside, like stars being lit up.
…
Lion Garden Kingdom, southern Mansai Plain, White Harbor Town.
The water wheel lazily rotated beside the stone bridge, and the gravel road with dirt and grass was crooked. The dwarf lying on the carriage box burped contentedly.
The aunt at the flower shop on the street stood at the door with one hand on her waist, holding a kettle in the other hand to water the flowers, but she looked up at the setting sun.
"Hey Hank, how are you today?"
"Haha, it's the same as usual, go to the pub and have a drink, and I'll just point to this drink all day."
Old acquaintances who met each other patted each other on the back and made some sarcastic remarks that would only lead to their wives catching them back. Not far away from them, there were adventurers returning from the ruins with a full load, and the wear and tear on their armor did not hide the joy on their faces.
Farther away, a bard was playing the lute on the street and talking about his beloved girl.
"..."
Minoni looked at this scene blankly, unable to say anything, and walked forward beside Luo Wei.
The two walked around the town, including the college and New Market Street in the west, the tavern area, shops and the Adventurer's Guild in the east, and finally headed towards the mountain road where the Prayer Church is located.
Stopping on the edge of a cliff with a wide view, with birds chirping on the branches above, Luo Wei chose a seat and sat down.
Minoni held her skirt and sat not far from him.
"I like this place better than the previous city."
Looking up, the small town under the sunset under the mountain is quiet and peaceful, exuding a warm power.
This scene was even enough to shock her.
"As long as you like it," Luo Wei closed his eyes and said, "Maybe when you wake up, you will find that this place has not changed."
He could feel that time was running out.
Let her stay in such a picture and fall asleep, and maybe she can have a good dream.
Minoni's eyes never moved away from there, looking into the distance without thinking.
"I have one last request."
"you say."
"I want to know, what is the love that the poet sang about just now? Why do you burn yourself for someone who abandons you, and why do you still remember him so much in your heart?"
"..."
Damn bard.
"That's just an art of expression." Luo Wei said with a dark face.
"But he said that love is the most complex relationship between people, and this happens to be what puzzles me the most."
As Minoni spoke, she sang a cappella——
"I heard that you changed the people around you again, but I don't care at all."
"I heard that I was still breathing, but you didn't care."
Luo Wei: "..."
The lyrics, which were originally joking and self-deprecating and full of resentment, were sung by her clear voice and turned into a eloquent narrative poem.
However, she learns so quickly...
"Why is all this happening? I am smiling foolishly."
"If you leave me alone, I can only draw fire to myself."
"Burn—burn with all your heart—"
When the song reached its climax, Luo Wei didn't dare to disturb her. He listened to her emotionless singing and listened to the whole song quietly.
He didn't expect to hear a first-level god singing to him. This was truly a blessing.
When Minoni finished singing the last bar with her eyes closed, he reached out his hands and clapped cooperatively.
Bang bang bang bang...
"Why are you applauding?" Minoni opened her eyes, a little confused.
"It's a compliment," Rowe affirmed.
"So? I think if I can understand the most complex relationship between humans, maybe I can understand it correctly."
Luo Wei sighed slowly.
"As you can see, this is the most complicated relationship. Not to mention you, even humans may not be able to understand it."
"Can't you demonstrate it to me? Just like you did when you went shopping and gave me suggestions."
"I'm afraid... the person who can demonstrate to me is not here right now."
Luo Wei scratched the back of his head with a headache. How could he demonstrate this? There was no way he could call Vermeer or Saya over now. It would be too strange to do such a thing in front of a first-level god.
Minoni tilted her head and looked at him.
"Isn't this the same as 'let's go buy a pair of shoes?' Can't you use me as an example?"
"..."
Totally different, obviously.
"This is not an idea that can come up anytime and anywhere," Luo Wei shook his head and said, "If I demonstrate it to you, it would be considered a hooligan at best."
"...acting like a hooligan?"
She didn't seem to understand what it meant, but after learning that the idea would not be born immediately, her eyes drooped slightly, as if she had missed another opportunity.
Luo Wei closed his eyes and smiled bitterly.
Making such a request would be called impulsive at best...
But seeing her disappointed look was a bit unbearable. After all, a long night was waiting for her next.
He took a slow breath and said, "I think I can't demonstrate to you what love is. Even if I try, it won't be accurate. I hope you can understand this. I don't want to mislead you."
Minoni just nodded slightly.
"But... I can demonstrate other emotions to you." Luo Wei continued, swallowing his throat at the same time, feeling like he was committing suicide.
"Huh? What is it."
The girl raised her gaze slightly.
Luo Wei's face was confused: "This may require your cooperation. Don't think that I am offending."
"What do you need me to do?"
"Just sit there."
Minoni remained observant and sat there without saying a word.
Luo Wei slowly took a deep breath and moved closer so that he could reach out and touch her.
Then, he stretched out his right hand little by little, looking upward in front of Minoni's gaze, crossing the boundary of her gaze.
snap——
Her long white hair was covered, and Luo Wei slowly put his hand on her head.
"..."
"..."
The soft texture was unimaginable. Looking at her slightly dull eyes trying to see clearly what was going on above, Luo Wei laughed to himself inwardly.
I'm afraid... no one has ever dared to do such a thing to her.
"What do you think?" he asked.
"You're putting your hands on my head."
Are feelings behavior?
Luo Wei adjusted his inner emotions, looked at her, and then gently stroked her head back.
"...!"
Minoni's eyes jumped and she looked back at him, while Luo Wei looked at her, stroking her long hair over and over again as if stroking a cat.
Dare to touch the head of a first-level god... In normal times, life would be really boring...
But Luo Wei now only regards her as a little girl as much as possible, and because she lent him her power, she is about to fall into an unknown period of sleep.
"You have a very strange power," Minoni stared at him with her starry eyes, "You seem to hope that I can have a good ending. Is there a specific adjective for this?"
"I should say it's a comfort."
"I see, it does feel like being comforted. Is this the connection between people..."
She suddenly thought of some of Altina's behaviors in the past, always suddenly hugging her from behind. Now it seems that maybe she hopes that she can integrate into this world.
Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and concentrated on experiencing this feeling, washing over her perception over and over again, unwilling to let it go.
This world is still worth taking a look at.
"Lovie Brook, thank you."
"Actually, just call me Luo Wei." Seeing her calmly enjoying the peace, he tried his best to comfort this demon from outside the world with his movements.
"Then, Luo Wei, I will try to look forward to the world after I wake up. Then take me to see the world."
"As you wish, Lady Goddess."
A slight smile appeared on Minoni's lips, seemingly satisfied.
A beam of shimmering light was drawn out of her body, and the outline of the pure white girl gradually became transparent, as if she had fallen into a peaceful sleep, and gradually disappeared into the invisible.
And that beam of pure white light slowly entered the divine core on Luo Wei's body.
Luo Wei's hand stopped in mid-air and he looked down at the lonely shoe on the ground.
Will definitely see you again.
Minoni.
After a moment of silence, he took out the sealed divine core in his arms. The shackles on the surface were dyed pure white, and the divine power resonated with the guidance remaining in the body.
The setting sun on the edge of the sky was about to set below the horizon. Luo Wei stared at the moment that was about to enter dusk and stood up.
He held the divine core in his hand and took a slow breath.
Then, he pressed the sealed pure white core into his body.
"..."
"..."
"..."
When he opened his eyes again, his pupils flashed with pure white, and quickly returned to normal.
After confirming that he was still himself, Luo Wei picked up the pair of shoes on the ground, packed them together with the packaging, and turned around in the direction of Crownless City.
Now--
It was time for the craftsmen to come and prepare a sacrifice for him.
