[Comprehensive] Boy's request

The water vapor in the forest wetted her black hair, and accompanied by the crisp birdsong in the forest, she opened her eyes and looked at the well-arranged shacks below her.

The bangs that were longer than the eyebrows swept across the browbones, and occasionally a few strands drooped on her cheekbones and the tip of her nose. She brushed her hair aside with the moist dew, revealing a fair face, and then she stood up from the branch, Moved the stiff body.

During the movement, there was a slight sound at the joints, but she didn't care, she jumped off the branch and landed firmly.

The early risers didn't panic when they saw her. They had already gotten used to this girl who had been here for a month. When they saw her a month ago, the clan even caused a commotion.

Knowing that she didn't enter by mistake, but searched here with a purpose, the head of the Kuruta tribe was very angry at that time.But after negotiation, she was allowed to stay here temporarily, but all her communication tools were confiscated.

Over the past month, this girl who looks young but has a lot of knowledge and is extremely mature in dealing with people and things has not been rejected by the people in the clan. Although they can communicate with her calmly, they will try to avoid talking to her as much as possible. touch.Known as the 'red-eyed demons', their situation is much better than it was a hundred years ago, but even this generation of Kuruta tribe is still full of fear of the 'outside world' under the tragedies of a hundred years ago.

And people from the outside world, they don't trust them very much.

Lily did not give up because of their indifference and evasion, she had her own considerations.

When passing here, Lily had heard the legend that there was a 'red-eyed devil' nearby.Lily, who has consulted a lot of historical materials of the Dark Continent, remembered a story she had read.

Red-eyed demons are the messengers of the devil. They are the incarnation of evil. They have blood-colored eyes that are different from ordinary people. Usually, the eyes are the same as ordinary people. They only turn red when they are emotional.

A hundred years ago, the disaster brought by the devil made people hate and fear the red-eyed devil. After the devil left the mainland, they organized several teams to eliminate the red-eyed devil in order to prevent the red-eyed devil from bringing the devil here again.After a long period of fighting, they eliminated the red-eyed demon, and the mainland finally regained its peace.

The tragedy a hundred years ago happened to be the moment when the 'Five Great Disasters' were brought back, and the red-eyed demon known as the messenger of the Demon King may be related to the Dark Continent.

And when she checked the information of the Dark Continent, Jin also put forward a hypothesis.

He said that maybe both monsters and humans were once the aborigines of the Dark Continent, but there was a disaster there, and humans had to come here to multiply.

If you think about it this way, the 'red-eyed demons' must be no different from humans, but they may still retain the characteristics of the Dark Continent, or they are the key to the Dark Continent.

Lily can't be 100% sure that the Kuruta tribe is related to the Dark Continent, but she thinks there may be something to do with it.

The reason why the legend is called a legend must have a certain basis in reality. Of course, the red-eyed demon may also be a scapegoat who was pulled out under the general environment at that time.Even though she was not sure, Lily still wanted to verify her guess.

So she stayed here temporarily, collecting rumors around her, and guessing the location of the Kuruta tribe.

Generally, the legends come from the folk, and this rumor is not very far away from the present. If you are lucky, you may be able to find their descendants.

Gathering information is not that difficult. Most of the elderly people remember what happened at that time. After getting some information, Lily searched for a long time in the complex forest, and finally found the Kuruta tribe. village.

Before that, she found several houses in the forest that were identical to the Kuruta people's buildings. From this, she speculated that they probably kept changing their residences in order to avoid being searched by outsiders.

In fact, when she came here, she had already prepared for the worst. She knew very well that there would be many difficulties in communicating with an ethnic group that had been closed for a long time. Not to mention, this was an ethnic group that was once discriminated against, and is even feared by some people now.

Today, the road ahead may still be bleak.

She stood in front of the tall domed building, looked at the gate carved with simple and simple patterns, calmed her breath, and knocked on the door.

Hearing the sound of her knocking on the door, two children dressed in Kuruta poked their heads out from behind the tree, looking at the girl standing in front of the door with curiosity and fiery eyes.The two pairs of big eyes have not been exposed to wind and rain, and are extraordinarily clear.The eyes of the blond-haired child were full of longing, and although the brown-haired boy was also very excited, he was slightly uneasy and grabbed the corner of the blond-haired clothes.

"Kurapika... Is it really okay for us to be like this? Dad said yesterday that we won't let us get close to outsiders."

"But don't we go out to collect every month? Isn't this also contacting outsiders?"

His rebuttal left Palo speechless, and the brown-haired boy was actually very curious about what the outsider was going to do, but he was still a little weaker than Kurapika, or more rigid in rules.

Palo looked enviously at his friend.

Kurapika is always energetic and has a strong curiosity about the unknown.

In his words, this cannot be done.

"Hey, let's go in, the patriarch grandpa let her in." Kurapika lowered his voice excitedly, and Palo, who was a little shorter than him, also poked his head out and looked over there, but the black-haired girl had already gone in, he just Being able to stare at the window with Kurapika, trying to distinguish the figure inside.

"Shouldn't it be closer?" Kurapika suggested that it was too much effort to see this way.

"……Hey?"

The gentle and gentle Palo couldn't resist him in the end, and he dragged him to the window. The two moved stones and stepped on them. After stepping on them, they tiptoed on the window sill and watched the scene inside.

Inside, the patriarch could only be seen talking to her with a blank face. At the beginning, the expression and tone of the two were very calm. It can be heard, and finally ends with the patriarch's "I will not agree".

The black-haired girl stood there silently for a while, bowed to the patriarch and walked out.

Kurapika jumped off the rock and ran towards the back of the house. Palo, who reacted a little slower, stayed where he was. When Kurapika ran four or five steps away, he still hadn't reacted.Seeing that his companion didn't catch up, the blond boy immediately slapped his head and ran back to pull him back. As a result, the two peas were caught by Lily who came out of the patriarch's house.

"..."

The three looked at each other in silence.

The two Douding pouted their butts ridiculously. They maintained the posture of running, and their legs hadn't moved yet.Lily looked at them jokingly as if she knew they were here a long time ago.

Feeling embarrassed, Kurapika's mouth twitched, Palo's face blushed quietly, and the black-haired girl gave them a friendly smile, then turned and left.

The two looked at each other and stuck out their tongues at each other.

Kurapika loosened his grip on Paero's wrist, and watched her back together with him, while adults' conversations could be heard in his ears.

"I heard Misel and the others say that the child is a star hunter who travels all over the world and wants to collect all ancient languages."

"Hey, that's amazing, but what is a hunter?"

"I don't know, it seems that the patriarch knows."

"And she couldn't just be in this forest, she also said that she would let us go on a study tour... Oh, it's really tiring, and I feel so uneasy when I want to face people outside."

There are 128 people in the village, including foreigners who moved in, and this beautiful and rich village is all of them.

However, due to the persecution a hundred years ago, until now, even young people know nothing about the outside world, and are deeply wary of outsiders.

But maybe the new generation thinks otherwise.

Hearing the adults' conversation, Kurapika said to Palo beside him.

"Let's follow along."

"Huh? Is it just us?" He pointed to himself and opened his eyes wide.

The blond boy nodded, "Yes! I want to ask that person about the outside world."
