Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The First Sight of the Devil and the Angel
Chapter 32 Chapter 32 The first meeting of demons and angels
"Sister, where are you going?"
Pushing aside the younger sister who was blocking her in front of her, the blond girl whispered.
"Shh... Hina, please keep your voice down. Just stay in the room. I'll go outside and take a look."
"No! Dad said you can't leave the house when he's not home!"
She stood stubbornly in front of the door and fiddled with it twice, but Xina still refused to give way.
"Sister, you have to listen to daddy and don't run around!"
"Xina, I didn't run around!"
Seeing that her sister had been blocking her, Misha got a little angry and glared at her.
"Don't you understand yet? This place is different from other places! Otherwise, dad would not have brought us two here. Do you understand, Hina?
Moreover, Dad also said that Lord Lester, the owner of the Emerald Territory, has formulated strict laws. All evildoers will be punished as they deserve. The evildoers will be hung on wooden poles.
We are safe here, we don’t have to be as careful as we were in the forest before, I just saw some children playing outside, they can do it, why can’t we?”
"But...but...Dad...Dad, he said...he said..."
"Xina, listen to your sister."
Holding her sister's shoulders with both hands, Misha looked particularly serious.
"Not everything dad said is right. We have to have our own ideas. Dad suffered a lot for us. We can't always rely on dad. We have to learn to grow up and make our own choices."
Finally pushing away her shaken sister, Misha opened the wooden door like a baby bird opening its cage.
"I want to go out and take a look. Just stay at home and lock the door."
Feeling aggrieved, Xina looked at her sister's back, hesitated for a moment, then closed the door and followed quickly.
"I am coming too!"
The two little guys who left home for the first time to explore soon forgot the unpleasantness just now. Xina, who disobeyed her father's order for the first time, was also immersed in the novelty of the adventure.
Surrounded by neatly arranged exquisite oak houses, they are much better than the former dilapidated houses.
At the end of the wooden house, there was a soldier dressed in black and carrying a crossbow, silently guarding the security.
Looking at the man in black in the distance, Misha couldn't help but recall that just three days ago, a strange man who wanted to force his way into her home to cause trouble for her and her sister was knocked to the ground by the man in black himself, and then
I don't know where I went as I was being escorted.
According to the laws of the Emerald Territory, he should be hanged, right?
No longer thinking about these terrible things, the little girl took her sister for a walk slowly along both sides of the road. The tall trees were slowly swaying in the breeze. A leaf fell from the sky and was accurately held by Misha.
In the palm of your hand.
Staring at the cloud-like green leaves growing in her palm, Misha curiously put it to her nose and smelled it.
A strange aroma hit her face, and the girl narrowed her eyes.
"It smells so good. What kind of tree is this?"
The little black-haired girl also looked curious.
"Sister, I don't know either."
"You don't know anything. Sheena is an idiot, haha."
"Don't you know, sister? Sister is the big fool!"
"Hahaha, don't scratch me, I surrender...see the trick!"
"Hehehe...sister, you're being ridiculous!"
Throwing down the leaves, the two little girls laughed and played together.
"This is a camphor tree unique to the Knockmooch Plain. An adult tree can grow to more than ten meters. The trunk is straight and thick. The wood has a refreshing aroma. It can be used to make furniture. It would be a pity to cut it down when it is so tall.
, so I didn’t cut it down. It’s just right to use it to enjoy the coolness in summer.”
Startled by the voice coming from beside her, Misha cautiously pulled Xina back two steps and stared closely at the man who appeared in front of her.
"Sister, this big brother is so good-looking, just like the uncles on that bright mountain."
Xina, who was being pulled by Misala, was dumbfounded.
"What a good and discerning boy. These are pink berries picked by my brother. They are very sweet."
Taking out a few fresh pink berries from his pocket, Lester smiled and stuffed them into the hands of the little black-haired girl who praised him, then turned to Ji Si who was following behind him.
"This is the answer to the question you asked me just now. In the absence of a good moral outlook, only strict and reasonable rules can restrain people's behavior. This is the meaning of the existence of the law. Moral norms can make people become good people, and the law can
The difference is that the law prevents people from becoming evil people. As for bad people, there is still the possibility of correcting them. There is no need to kill them with a rod. It is best to send them to mines."
Seeing that Tali seemed to understand somewhat, Lester continued.
"In Jade Territory, such a young girl can walk on the road without worrying about being snatched away. This is the power of rules, because my goal in formulating the rules is to allow people in Emerald Territory to walk on the road with confidence.
You don’t have to worry about yourself or your personal belongings being infringed.”
Seeing that the vigilance on the little blond girl's face had disappeared a lot, he took out two pink berries from his pocket and gave them to the little blond girl. Lester smiled softly at the two little girls who looked cute but a little too sloppy.
He smiled and led Ji Si towards the position of the shadow crossbow soldiers.
"Sister, the pink berries are so sweet."
Xina took small sips of the pink berries in her hand, and felt a little more reluctant to see the fruits getting less and less.
The pink berries given by the good-looking big brother are delicious. If you eat them like this, they will be gone.
Misha stared at the man's back, her vigilant body gradually relaxed, and she took a bite of the pink berry.
'So sweet!'
Not knowing that his unintentional move had been remembered by the two precocious little girls, Lester nodded to the shadow crossbowman who saluted him and said.
"I think your name is Friesen."
There was a rare ripple in Friesen's lifeless heart.
"I didn't expect that the adults would still remember my name."
"I remember everyone's name."
Just like chatting with each other, Lester did not show any sympathy or mercy in front of Friesen.
He knew that the cold-faced man in front of him didn't need anyone's sympathy.
What Friesen needs, what the surviving captives in Beinoer Village need, is the blood of their enemies, the blood of all the robbers in the Decapitated Bandit Group.
"I know that you chose to walk out of the warehouse and follow me just to get a chance for revenge, but this is not enough for me, far from it."
Friesen stared at the greedy man in front of him with dead eyes, for a long time, and said in a hoarse voice.
"We have nothing left, what else do you want, our souls? Are you really as they say, a demon who can rob lives and souls?"
Listening to the chat between the two men in front of her, the girl shivered with fear.
"In this world, those who plunder the most lives and souls are not necessarily demons."
Lester turned his head, looked at the blue sky, and said calmly.
"I don't need your soul either, I need your loyalty, eternal loyalty."
"I don't understand. Our loyalty to you doesn't count as loyalty?"
"It doesn't matter, you will understand soon."
As he watched the man named Lester go away, a warm breeze blew by, but Friesen shivered.
"Perhaps the real devil is not as evil as you."
