"Say Ellie, are we really personal guards, not patrols?"
"Hmm~ Maybe the mine owner still doesn't trust us, or maybe there's no danger so he doesn't need us around all the time?"
"Then why did he recruit us?"
"Although I know, maybe there is too much money to spend, right?"
"Ellie, I think there must be something fishy about this matter. What do you think?"
"I'm too lazy to look~ We've been here for three days and haven't found anything unusual~ Although the source of this guy's funds is still a mystery, I really don't see any problems, except for Olysia, who is getting more and more
Except for the more uncomfortable it is..."
"Yes, Miss Third, the evil atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, which makes me very uncomfortable."
"Hehehe~ Having said that, people here live very happily~"
"Paqi is right~ There is a prosperous scene here, but there is no evil atmosphere at all? Well~ we have too little information to make an effective analysis..."
I glanced to the side and saw a dark-skinned middle-aged aunt happily adding wood to the boiler. Although there is a magic stone that can be converted into any form of universal energy, due to reasons such as cost and conversion rate,
, this kind of large boiler with extremely high power consumption still uses traditional fuel, and only things like mine carts use magic engines.
Is the job of adding wood so happy? I always feel that...there is something wrong with the people here...
"Ellie, do you think that aunt's smile comes from the bottom of her heart?"
"Which one? Oh... it should be right~ I've seen a lot of fake smiles before, but that kind of smile is obviously not an expression, it's really an expression that comes out of happiness."
Ellie's tone was quite certain. As a true noble lady who grew up in a complex and large family, her ability to distinguish the nature of people's emotions should be no problem.
"But I think these people...are they a little too happy? The fireman I saw just now was still smiling even though he was choking on the poisonous smoke and coughing. Isn't this normal?"
"Sister, the people in our world are different from those on the other side of the earth. For the poor people here, life is far less important than money. As long as they can make a lot of money, they are willing to jump down even a volcano crater!
If they can get away from the miserable life and gain a stable and prosperous life, what does it mean to damage their health? In my opinion, it is reasonable and reasonable for them to be so happy~"
"Aili, do you actually think so? But I still don't agree with your point of view~ Even if they were living in an ignoble way before, they shouldn't be as happy as they are now~ No matter how satisfying and happy life is
, Negative emotions are always there~ Could it be that because a person lives a happy life, he will not feel uncomfortable when he is sick? This is not reasonable at all, right? I now believe what Olysia said, here
There must be some evil force affecting people and paralyzing their minds!"
"Hehehe~ I kind of agree with Amy's statement~" Pachi raised her hand in agreement.
"Hey? Pachi, how come you have the same delusions of persecution as my sister? Isn't that what people in our world are like? Being alive is already the greatest happiness, and any additional gains are enough to make people happy~" Ellie
He frowned in objection.
"Ai Li-chan~ Maybe it's because you haven't paid attention to ordinary people for a long time...the lives of the weak, to be precise?"
Patty put away the quiet smile that had been hanging on her face and stared at Ellie with meaningful eyes.
"Ah? What do you mean, Pachi?"
Ellie was a little unhappy. She stopped, tilted her head and pouted.
"They... I mean the most ordinary and lowest-level people like them, life is not as miserable as you imagine. They also have their own joys, sorrows, and joys, and they also have dreams and hopes... Although these dreams may only be trivial things,
But they also have pursuits, and they can also feel happiness and sadness~ Whether it is the children or everyone in the town, they are all the same as us, there is no difference~ Airi-chan, is it possible?
In your eyes, are ordinary poor people just like livestock?"
Patsy's voice was calm, but I could see a little anger in her eyes, and a deeper sadness.
Ai Li blinked her eyes, and the unhappy expression gradually disappeared from her face. Although her brows were still furrowed, the emotions revealed at this time were sadness and guilt.
"Sorry Pachi, I did think so before. At that time, I... had no companions to rely on, no elders who could take care of me, and no reason worth fighting for... Everything I did was just
I just live blindly... No one cares about me, and no one is willing to help me. Everyone just lives without a goal, with no intention to pay attention to anything that has nothing to do with themselves... Even me is the same... But because of me
They are strong, so they have to pay attention to me and have to use me... That's why I think they are no different from domestic animals... because they are a group of domestic animals who will be happy as long as they are full~"
Ellie lowered her head, not daring to look at us.
"I can understand, but now you can't think like this anymore~ You are already a goddess, shouldn't you have a mind that matches it?"
"I'm sorry... I really haven't changed my mind yet... When I see people like them, I can't help but regard them as prey... I'm sorry, sister, Ai Li is not a qualified goddess, Ai Li is still
He’s just that bastard who relies on deceit and deception to make a living..."
Ai Li turned around, leaving us with a slightly trembling back.
So what is going on? Why did Ellie suddenly become so depressed? What are you doing, Patch? Is this exposing her scars or something? What happened in the past is in the past, what else can she do?
?How should I comfort her now?
"Amy, it's better to eliminate hidden dangers as soon as possible~ Ai Li is a good child, but her past experiences have indeed distorted her cognition. If not corrected in time, it will definitely lead to bad consequences in the future.
As a person who has always lived with the weak, I absolutely hate this view~"
Patty lifted her hair and said to me in an unquestionable tone. Her eyes were firm and unshakable like an iron wall.
Although I feel sorry for Ellie, I have to agree with what Pachi said. If psychological shadow cannot be stepped out in time, it will only take root in the heart and eventually blossom into an unstoppable flower of evil. I know love
Li is a strong child, but she is also very fragile. At this time, it is up to me, the older sister, to step in.
I came behind Ellie and hugged her gently. Ellie's body trembled, but she still let me hold her. I leaned close to her ear and spoke softly: "It's okay, Ellie.
We are all constantly growing and changing~ Even if you have made mistakes before, as long as you have the heart to correct and make amends, then things will not be as bad as you thought~ No matter what dark thoughts you had before, you are now
It’s no longer needed~ I will always be by your side... No, we will always be with you, growing and progressing together, correcting mistakes together, and working hard to change ourselves together to become a qualified goddess~ Don’t
I hate myself~because you are very cute~"
"Cute...do you love me, sister?" Aili's imperceptible voice reached my ears.
"Yes~ Sister loves you~ Isn't this necessary?"
"Then sister, can you tell me you love me directly?"
"Ellie, I love you~"
"..."
Ai Li didn't respond, but her body was shaking even more violently. Could it be that I did something wrong again?
"Amy~ I advise you to stay away from Aili now~"
I turned my head and found that Pachi was hiding behind the dragon maid, looking at me with a look on her face.
"Ah? Ai Li's condition is even worse! I have to comfort her..."
"Onee-sama said she loves me~~~~~!!! Sis~sister~sama~1 Let's get married to Ellie now! Right here, right now! Let Ellie be onee-sama's bride
