Artoria wants to read people's hearts

While talking, she suddenly seemed to relax, and then let out a long breath.

In Artoria's puzzled expression, the orc girl raised a smile on her face, and said to her with relief.

"This human...Miss." She pursed her lips a little shyly, shook her body, and said to Artoria suggestively, "I can take you there now, But can you help me get rid of the confinement of my body first?"

No, wait!

The clever orc girl discovered another blind spot.

The blond knight girl in front of her said that she is a human being, but as we all know, human beings cannot communicate with the elven corridor, so...how did this person imprison herself without any real objects? ! !

I'm afraid, she's lying to me! (ΩДΩ)

Artoria, who didn't know that she had been expelled, thought about it for a while, and always felt that the other party's attitude was a little subtle.

For example... why do you breathe a sigh of relief when you know you are human?

Puzzled, Artoria didn't try to undo her binding magic.

She looked into the other person's eyes and said very seriously, "There is something wrong with you."

"Huh?" The orc girl was startled.

Immediately, she couldn't care less about entanglement with the other party's race. The beast ear girl glanced at Artoria with some anxiety, and then looked down at the... invisible sword stuck in the ground. Some want to cry but have no tears.

"I swear, I'm absolutely not lying!" She said anxiously, "The human child is now in a cave at the foot of the south, and our tribe has always kept the food reserves that don't need to be killed there. Yes."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Shaking her head, Arturia expressed her doubts, "Obviously I was always nervous before, why did you suddenly soften your attitude when you learned that I am a human?"

Hearing the other party's question, the orc girl was stunned for a moment, and then a wry smile slowly formed on the corner of her mouth.

"Is my performance... so obvious?"

"Yes, it's very obvious." Nodding, Artoria gave an affirmative answer to this.

"........."

After a moment of silence, the female orc opened her mouth, but in the end only a sigh escaped from the corner of her mouth.

"Actually... I was just happy for that kid at the time."

Happy?

Raising her eyebrows, Arturia couldn't help showing a surprised expression at this sentence.

This is really strange, why would a man-eating orc be happy for a food reserve?

Recalling the contemptuous attitude of the few male orcs she met a few hours ago, she was deeply puzzled by it.

Perhaps seeing the confused expression on her face, after a wry smile, the orc girl revealed the reason.

It seemed a bit difficult to say, and she looked a little shy when explaining.

"That child is very cute, and he is very young." She raised her eyes and glanced at the blond girl who was listening to her seriously. She paused, and her ears on the top of her head drooped.

"The tribe's food has always been in short supply, so there is no extra food to feed the reserve food. I used to think she was very pitiful, so I would always secretly send her some food in the evening."

Sighing, she continued, "So after all this coming and going, I also felt compassion."

"It doesn't matter if it's hypocrisy, although I have no way and no right to let her go, but when I heard that you are a human being and came here specifically to find her, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief."

"I don't know your specific strength, but if you can infiltrate the tribe and bring me here, then at least you can leave safely with that child."

When she said this, she stopped suddenly, then raised her head and looked at Artoria seriously.

"In any case, I will still take you there for the sake of my own life, but may I know what you are looking for that child for?"

Although she felt sorry for that human child, it wasn't worth it to sacrifice her own life for it.

This is like the relationship between humans and wild cats in modern society. Although they love it, they are not at all to the point of dying for it.

The orc girl can still calculate this life equation.

Hearing the girl's inquiry, Arturia pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked such a question.

"Have you...have you ever eaten people?"

It was completely wrong with the question I just asked, but the little beast ear girl didn't dare to ask the other party to answer her.

She just choked, and when she realized it, she immediately replied, "No, I've never eaten anyone before!"

"I've always never eaten these intelligent races. Our tribe just lacks food, and it's not really going to starve to death. I can't get over this hurdle psychologically if I eat them."

With an unusually firm answer, Artoria looked into the other person's eyes and intuitively told herself that the other person was not lying.

That being the case......

"I understand."

Nodding her head, Artoria cut off her magic power supply, and within two breaths, the binding magic on the orc girl lost its effect.

She looked at the animal-eared girl who was slumped on the ground and looked a little dazed, and immediately pulled her up.

"Let's go, take me to the cave you just mentioned."

"Hey?!"

Some orc girls who couldn't keep up subconsciously made doubtful voices, and at this moment they turned around to the south of the orc tribe. Artoria, who had already taken a step, looked back after hearing it.

"I said, hurry up and lead the way."

"Okay, okay." Hearing her urging, the orc girl subconsciously ran two steps forward.

When passing by the other party, she suddenly heard the kidnapper lady who claimed to be human said softly, "Don't worry, I don't have any malice towards that child, and I came here just to save people. "

The words flowed into her ears like a breeze, which made her smile happily after a pause.

Regardless of whether it is true or false, she can only trust the other party at this moment.

Anyway, my subtle sense of guilt was indeed soothed by the words just now.

"My lord, please come this way."

The orc girl turned around and smiled, then disappeared into the dark forest with Artoria.

With their speed, it took less than half an hour to reach the cave.

This is also logical, after all, it is impossible for a place to store food to be too far away from the tribe.

The animal ear girl carefully revealed a pair of light red eyes from behind the bushes, and her ears on the top of her head were erected high, and she was listening attentively to the movement in the cave at the moment.

Very wary, but........

"Hey, my lord, you...!"

With her eyes widened in disbelief, the orc girl anxiously looked at Arturia who walked out from her side.

She didn't expect that the other party even dodged for a while, and walked to the entrance of the cave so openly.

Should such behavior be said to be reckless or bold?

"Come here quickly, stop dawdling."

The other party's voice brought back the thoughts of the orc girl. She shook her ears subconsciously, and hurriedly trotted all the way to the side of the blond knight.

Looking at the dark entrance of the cave, Artoria could hear the faint sound of breathing coming from inside.

It was obvious that there was something in it.

But whether it is a human... Seeing is believing.

Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at the beast ear girl standing beside her.

I just hope...you didn't lie to me.

"Let's go."

After saying something softly, Artoria walked into the dark cave first.

There is a lot of space in the cave, and there are several small holes on the ramp outside the turn. However, the already dark sky and the opacity of the rock made it impossible for her to see clearly what was stored inside.

"......"

After pondering for a while, Arturia used magic power to gather a small light cluster in the palm of her hand, and then she could see clearly the structure of the entire cave by the light of the light cluster.

The cave is much larger than expected, with several ramps connecting it, and each ramp will have several locked small rooms.

Perhaps because it has not been cleaned up for a long time, the smell in this cave is actually not very good.

Frowning slightly, she turned her head and signaled the orc girl behind her to lead the way.

One after the other, Arturia followed behind the other party, and within a few minutes came to a locked room.

Blocking the small hole is a wooden door with several openings on the top of the wooden door, which seem to be used for ventilation.

"Is it here?"

"Yes, the child is inside."

After getting a definite answer, Arturia nodded, and then kicked up directly.

"Oh!"

The wooden door fell down.

Through the magic light cluster in her hand, she finally saw the target person of her trip.

A... a skinny little girl who was shivering.

Her clothes were shabby, but she was indeed as lovely as the orc girl said.

At this moment, the other party was looking at the blond girl who broke in with horror, her thin body kept shrinking into the corner.

Seeing this, Arturia took a step forward to comfort her, but it seemed to have the opposite effect, making the girl scream out of fright.

"I'm a human being, and I'm here to save you."

She patiently explained to the child, but the other party shrank back even more after glancing at the light ball in her hand.

Just when she was at a loss, the orc girl who had been guarding the door came in after hearing the scream just now.

And just as she appeared, the little girl who was still shivering suddenly brightened up.

"Sister Natalie!"

The childish voice contained a much stronger sense of trust than the one he had just treated Artoria.

For a while, this polarized attitude made Artoria feel a little wry.

but.......

Seeing the child vigilantly bypassing her and running to the side of the orc girl, she also understood something in her heart.

That is... the other party did not lie.

Chapter 4 These days, humans are not easy to mess with (two in one)

Although he was somewhat skeptical, under the guarantee of the orc girl, the child finally chose to believe in Artoria.

I have to say that this development is really a bit dumbfounding.

"My name is Artoria Pendragon. If I'm a professional...as you can see, I'm a knight."

In order to get closer to the child, her voice at the moment was so soft that it was like a piece of soft cotton candy.

"Then, my dear young lady, could you please tell me your name?"

The blond-haired blue-eyed knight girl, her eyes are as bright as the stars in the sky, her delicate face is exquisite, pure and refined.

Under the situation that she deliberately increased her charm output, the little girl who had not experienced much in the world could not help but be attracted by the beautiful big sister in front of her.

Maybe I blamed her wrongly, after all, she looks so good-looking, and she really doesn't look like a bad person.

"...Quinty, my name is Quinty."

"Kunti, that's really a nice name." Artoria smiled lightly, nodded and praised, "You must be as rich in creativity and creativity as the name expresses." Nice character."

A child who was only six years old had never experienced such a battle. She blushed all of a sudden, and pulled the worn clothes on her body with some embarrassment.

"...Thank you, you, your name sounds nice too."

Although he doesn't know the meaning of the other party's name, and he can't say anything good, but now Kunti is also trying to express his kindness.

And the orc lady Natalie beside her..., she has already been suspicious of her life by Artoria's manipulation.

When did trust become so easy to earn?
