Dereliction of duty · 90 years in the new calendar

Xus: Alright alright, you all be quiet.

After all, the other party is a child, so it is difficult to be true to him.

Xus took a step forward, bent slightly, and aligned his gaze as much as possible.

Xus: If you don't mind, can you tell me why you are here?

Child: Why!

Xus: Well, if you answer well, in return I can...

Xus pointed to the camp beside him, then snapped his fingers lightly, lighting up his fingertips with a small amount of spiritual energy.

Most people who have lived in this continent can understand the meaning of the pure white color.

Xus: Are there any casualties in there?

——I saw used bloody bandages around, so sorry if I guessed wrong.

The leader hesitated for a while, then turned his head and whispered to the group of children behind him.

Their discussion quickly came to the conclusion that they cautiously allowed Xus to enter the tent, albeit still wary.

Child: Wait a minute, you can't.

Zolf, who was going to follow along with the pace, was decisively stopped.

Zolf: Hey, do you hate me that much?

The child ignored his whispered complaints, ordered a few people to watch, and trotted over to supervise Xus.

Before leaving, he threatened:

Child: Although I can't beat you alone, as long as you dare to move around, we are quite united!

He immediately raised his arms and shouted, and the surrounding children also echoed and shouted. It seemed that their unity was indeed indestructible.

Zolf: Well...

Zolf sadly walked to the side of the big rock, sat down and looked at the evening clouds with a sense of regret.

On the other side, inside the tent.

As Xus guessed, there were many wounded children inside the camp.

At first glance, the injuries suffered were acceptable. The most serious one had a broken arm, and the rest were only external injuries.

The wounds were big or small, fortunately they were only superficial.

Putting the most serious ones first, Xus leaned over gently, and after asking the injured person's permission, he held up the broken arm and treated him as painlessly as possible.

The spiritual power of the light system contained in Xus' body is very suitable for recuperation. In the wars he has experienced, this characteristic has helped his side a lot.

With a start, the follow-up can be stable, and he has enough time to chat with the "Kid King" for a while.

Xus: X, u, s. Xus, this is my name.

What about you?

child:……

We all have no names.

There is no need for each other... Just a "hello" to each other is enough.

Xus: Is that so...

Speaking of which, I think your clothes are all quite uniform.

Do you know the power of "clerics"?

The kid shook his head, but he gave a message:

Child: We just want to survive.

but……

He closed his eyes and bit his lips tightly, as if angry but had nowhere to break out.

Child: A few days ago, when we were passing "somewhere", we met a group of strange people.

They, they even our group, who don't have any money at all, will rob...!

Xus: And, what about those scumbags who hurt you like this?

...sorry for bringing up bad memories, but I really need to know.

Child: What can you do if you know it?

Help us fatten them up?

...You look thin and small, but you are a nice person, and I don't want you to be in danger.

Xus: You've already commented on me like that. Do I have to show it off so that you can understand what it means to "don't judge people by their cover"?

— Ah, how are you?still hurt?

Compared with conventional medicine, the healing effect of spiritual power will come sooner (depending on the strength of the user, Xus is in the superior category).After a while, the injured man's arm was able to move slightly.

Instructing him what to pay attention to next, Xus moved, ready to deal with the other minor wounded one by one.

At first, he doubted whether it was true or not, but after seeing the curative effect, the child king finally relaxed his guard completely.

Child: They are right.

But it's weird.

We ran away from them in the evening—about the same time as now—but not long after, a big sister who wore similar clothes to them stood in front of us.

The clothes we are wearing now were given by that elder sister... and some food, and these simple small tents were also given by her, although she seemed to want to adopt it originally.

Big sister asked me about the group like you did and she looked super pissed off.

Xus: (Sister Cyn...?)

(Zor said just now that the guy complained that there are young people who are not sensible...)

(If you have time, go there and have a look.)

Hmm, very valuable information, thank you.

Child: Xus...brother?

We, we are just wandering, there is no one left to trust...so...

Also, it's not a request... just, can I... trust you a little?

Xus: Ha, that's what I'm fighting for right now.

Let's not talk about anything else, you go to count the rest of the people, okay?

That way I can decide on priorities - you're a lot of people.

Child: ...OK.

Xus: (Speaking very methodically...as a child.)

(I have suffered a lot.)

(……well.)
