Skretil's Ignorance Walker

After following the girl back to her home, Amy and Vera finally had a decent meal. They had been starving in the past few days.

The girl who was rescued by Vera and the others was named Nina. She lived in a small settlement outside Lily Castle. There were probably not more than twenty people in the several households nearby.

Because the neighborhood is very safe, and the prices in the city are a bit expensive, small settlements formed by several families gathering together are everywhere outside Lily Castle. Lu Ren and the others had seen this when they first arrived here, so they were not surprised.

And this also has the advantage that Amy and the others are safer hiding here. At least the soldiers will patrol here occasionally, which makes it easier for them to escape if something happens.

However, the impact of the demon that just appeared still lingers in Vera's heart. Why do demons appear here? Although it is just an ordinary low-level demon, it is precisely because it is too weak to appear in the mortal world with its own power. This only shows that there is an unknown existence providing help to them, so that even ordinary Demons can also appear in the mortal world.

Since one has appeared, it cannot be the only one. They must have many companions who came to the mortal world together, but the question now is, where are these demons? Who is protecting them?

Vera looked up at the sky, especially in the direction of Lily Castle. Although the sky was as clear as usual, in Vera's eyes, that direction was filled with dark clouds formed by evil magic, and a huge shadow shrouded the entire Lily Castle. in.

Vera and the others had noticed something was wrong before, but after Lu Ren's explanation, Vera no longer had any doubts. But in the current situation, she could not ignore the abnormalities.

"There will definitely be other demons appearing."

Vera said softly, and her words were heard by Amy and Nina on the side. The latter was very scared. What would she do if the disgusting and terrifying thing from before appeared in front of her again?

I have to admit that although all living beings in this world have magic in their bodies, those who can do magic are only a minority. It is just because of Lu Ren's own reasons that the people around her are all people who can do magic, thus causing survivor bias. .

There are many people in this world who can do magic, but even more people can't. In the face of a huge base, the number of people who can do magic is less than one tenth. Ordinary people may never use any magic until their death. Except for being an adventurer, those ordinary professions hardly use magic. And if the adventurer is lucky enough to survive at the beginning, then he will be forced to learn some basic magic on his own.

Some countries even use the old, weak, sick and disabled who have no combat effectiveness to provide magic supplies to the mages in the army.

Just like Nina sitting here now, she is just an ordinary gardener, responsible for helping others take care of their gardens. Her tools are only a basket and a pair of scissors. Even facing a female robber of the same size as herself, Nina might be too scared to hand over her belongings, let alone face the devil.

And people like Nina account for the vast majority just in this neighborhood. Due to the long period of peace, the people here seem to have forgotten the existence of danger, and they live leisurely and sporadic lives on this land.

But now, things are different. Once a large-scale demon invasion occurs, this place will soon become a mortal hell and a paradise for demons.

Faced with everything that might happen, Vera, as the ruler, did not take any countermeasures at all, which made Vera feel very angry. Moreover, according to her observation, the source of the ominous magic power probably came from the palace.

Is the Queen going to turn her country into hell? Vera couldn't help but think about this, she clenched her fist tightly, wishing she could hit the queen right now and question her on the spot.

"Ah——!!!Help!"

At this moment, a cry for help came from the window, and Vera rushed out immediately after hearing it, because the devil appeared again.

"You hide in the house first, and we'll come back as soon as we go."

Amy rushed out with Vera after giving instructions to Nina, but when she saw Vera, there was only a wisp of black smoke left next to Vera that quickly dissipated.

"It seems you have solved it..."

"Be careful! There's more!"

Before Amy finished speaking, Vera raised her sword and rushed in the other direction. Amy immediately followed after seeing this. When they arrived, they found that there were several demons nearby, but there was only one here. Ordinary soldiers were doing their best to resist the attack of these guys. Her body was already covered with scars, and behind her were several civilians who were too scared to move their legs.

Upon seeing this, Vera immediately stepped forward. After a few flashes of silver light, the mutated and twisted demon was chopped into several pieces, and then quickly dissipated in the air.

For these nightmares, Vera hates them deeply. If it were not for the devil, she would not have experienced such a long and sad time.

"Thank you for your rescue. If it had been any later, all of us would have died..."

Seeing that the demons were eliminated by Vera, the soldier who was still fighting just breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense nerves relaxed, and then she quickly fell to the ground and fainted.

After Amy saw from behind that Vera had eliminated all the demons, she walked around again and confirmed that there were no demons around, then she felt relieved and returned to Vera.

"Why are you so active all of a sudden?"

Vera is not like this usually, and she doesn’t know what happened today. Could it be that someone else has given her a meal and she can work so hard?

However, Amy noticed Vera's eyes at this time. Her eyes were full of hatred, and she kept staring at the place where the demon disappeared. Amy remembered what Lu Ren had told her about Vera's past. It was Vera's momentary negligence that allowed the devil to take advantage of the loophole, causing Vera to spend thousands of years alone.

Thinking of this, Amy patted Vera on the shoulder to bring her thoughts back.

"Okay, don't stand here anymore, let's go back to where we were."

Blind hatred will not solve the problem. Vera must learn to let go of the past, otherwise if she keeps digging into the past, she may be invaded by the devil again.

"Oh, I know."

After being pulled back to reality, Vera felt a little lost for some reason. She was now a little unmotivated. Finally, under the guidance of Amy, she returned to Nina's house.

On the next day, residents near Nina came to Nina's house to thank Vera in person for saving them yesterday. The soldier who was seriously injured and fainted had also woken up. Although he was still unable to walk, thanks to Without Vera, everyone nearby can save a life.

Vera was a little overwhelmed by this. She was not good at dealing with the warm kindness of strangers. Facing the dozen or so people who came to thank her, Vera seemed very embarrassed. Amy was leaning on the wall and watching quietly. How Vera responds.

As for the look of help Vera cast towards Amy, Amy pretended not to see it at all.
