As if he had peered into an abyss, the little youth felt an indescribable fear. He felt that he knew something very terrifying.
The demons that lived in the mountain temple, and the villagers that knew of their existence but still provided for them. Just what was going on? Was his mother's disappearance related to them? Was someone using his mother as a "gift" and sacrificing her to the mountain god … …
Once he thought of this possibility, he showed an extremely angry and sorrowful expression. Although he lowered his head, Reina could still see his appearance. Children would always have wild thoughts. Their hearts were very sensitive. If they were careless, they could fall into a dead end that they had built themselves.
"A year ago, this guy's mother disappeared in the mountains. Do you know about this?"
Linnai asked straightforwardly. She didn't intend to beat around the bush. Since the other party came here two years ago, he must know something. Moreover, the village had sealed off the mountain two years ago. Feng Ma and the others had violated the village's rules at that time and went up the mountain without permission, just like she was now. The village had established this rule, probably to prevent people from noticing the existence of the three large rats. And they would also silently follow the people that went up the mountain to protect themselves.
They looked at each other and whispered something.
"A year ago?"
"Many people went up the mountain."
"What do we do? Humans all look the same. I can't tell them apart."
"Who was watching the mountain at that time?"
"Who remembers?"
Hearing their discussion, the youth only felt more and more sad. Some outsiders were indifferently discussing the things that he cared about the most. That feeling was very unpleasant. Moreover, he had suppressed it for too long.
"You must know! Why don't you say it! You monsters! Definitely! You must have done it. You took my mother, took her away, you monsters! Quickly give my mother back to me! "
The youth suddenly broke down and shouted. He threw himself at them, but in the air, he was caught by Reina and pressed back to his seat. He struggled with all his might, knocking over the table. The three large rats silently retreated and showed an apologetic expression.
Feng Ma helplessly shouted and cried. He hated himself for not being able to do anything.
"Calm down, kid. Being angry will not solve anything."
"But, but!"
He could not refute.
"I'm very sorry, young man."
"We know how it feels to lose a loved one."
"We feel sympathy and understanding."
The three rats spoke one after another. The fact that they could speak like humans had already overturned Feng Ma's little worldview.
"How could you possibly understand! You are just cold-blooded and heartless monsters. Aren't you a witch? Why didn't he kill these demons? Why? Are you as cold-blooded as these monsters? "
He screamed hysterically. Reina sighed. Suddenly, there was a loud slap. When the young man came to his senses, he felt a burning pain on the right side of his face. Then, he fell from the stool to the ground. His mind went blank. Feng Ma covered his right cheek and slowly got up. He looked at the white-haired witch in shock.
"Apologize."
Her gaze was fierce, and Feng Ma apologized in a low voice.
"Not to me, but to them."
Hearing this, Feng Ma was stunned for a moment. Then, he looked at the three big rats that were silently watching him.
Apologize to the demons?
He could not understand. He did not even want to understand. In his eyes, if they were not friends, then they were enemies. He could not understand Reina's actions.
"Why, why?"
Reina saw helplessness and fear in his eyes. She also understood why.
"Because what you just said was very disrespectful."
"But! They are not humans! "
"So what? Can you insult them as you wish just because they are not humans? "
Reina scolded.
Feng Ma was speechless. He did not know why the other side was speaking up for the demons. Weren't they enemies?
"No, it's okay."
"That's right, that's right. We don't blame this young man. We are also used to how humans view us."
The rats were actually speaking up for him. They were like the adults in the village, saying some good things. This made him feel confused. Did the other side say this to deceive him? Did they want to pretend to be good people to trick him?
He clenched his fists and revealed an unconvinced expression. Reina sighed and said: "Do you still want to know the whereabouts of your mother? Or do you prefer to throw a tantrum here? "
After hearing Reina's words, the young man knitted his brows.
He missed his mother all the time. For this, he was willing to do anything.
"I'm sorry."
This small apology made the three rats smile awkwardly.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Actually, his thoughts are correct. Most demons are also prejudiced against humans."
They began to talk back and forth again. Sometimes, they could not even tell who was talking. To humans, they all looked the same. To them, humans also looked about the same.
"It's hard to remember what happened a year ago. If there are more obvious characteristics, we might be able to remember."
Heiya said.
The memory of the rats was not good to begin with.
"Characteristics? Feng Ma, what characteristics does your mother have? "
Characteristics. The young man was still facing the three rats. He did not dare to look at them.
"Long hair, two dimples when she smiles … …"
He said the characteristics that normal people had. Moreover, the rats could not see these characteristics at all. They could only tell the gender of a human by the length of their hair.
Therefore, they had a troubled expression on their faces at this moment.
Until Feng Ma said what he was most afraid of in his heart: "The monster that took my mother! It has two long horns! It looks like a cow. Its whole body is black! "
He said loudly as he gasped for breath.
A minotaur monster?
"If it's a demon, you should know. Or, could it be your companion?"
Reina stared at the three rats. A cold light flashed in her eyes.
The three rats had goosebumps all over their bodies. As if a cold wind had blown past, they shivered and stiffened.
"No! Absolutely not. We don't have such a companion. "
"Rabbits, centaurs, and lizardmen are possible. Moreover, only the three of us were assigned here."
Saying that, Heiya hurriedly covered his companion who had spilled the beans. When he looked at Reina, the white-haired human, he found that she had an even more dangerous expression.
She raised her eyebrows.
"Oh? Someone sent you here? Who is it? Do I know them? "
Reina asked.
The three rats swallowed hard and said: "It's … … it's the world's greatest monarch. He advocates the coexistence of all things."
"Including … … including humans and us."
Lena froze for a moment.
"Who is that?"
"He's the world's master who saves all lives."
They said so.
