Capítulo 2314: Chapter 1559: The Story of a Borderland Youth (Part 2)
“……Litt, Litt?”
“Whoa.”
It wasn’t until a hand reached out from the side that Litt snapped back to reality, hurriedly stumbled backward, and glanced to the side to see Lillian with her hands on her hips, cheeks puffed out, glaring at him.
“What are you doing? You’ve been so out of it these days.”
“No, maybe…… I’m just too tired from training.”
Litt turned his head back, speaking softly.
“I see.”
Hearing Litt’s answer, Lillian’s expression softened a bit.
“I know Litt is working hard on his practice, but you should rest well too. If you overwork yourself and get injured, that wouldn’t be good.… Oh, but if you do get hurt, your lovely childhood friend will definitely take care of you, perhaps that’s not bad?”
“…… Mina, she…… doesn’t have ti to take care of now.”
“Hmm? Oh, right, the Hero has returned. I never thought he’d be quite fond of our little village.”
“Ah, yes……”
Litt turned his head, pretending to look at the surrounding scenery, while silently clenching his fist. What he heard that night, even now, continued lingering in his mind. When he opened his eyes again, he was already in his bed at ho, and he asked his sister, who said he had co ho yesterday and gone to bed.
So, was that a nightmare? Or reality?
Litt didn’t know, but……
At this mont, Lillian expressed her sentint.
“Speaking of which, Mina has beco more beautiful……”
“Eh? Really?”
“Didn’t you notice? Honestly, that’s why they say n…… I noticed long ago, different from the old Mina, now she has a kind of…… how should I say, a very feminine vibe? It must be due to growing up, don’t you think?”
“Co to think of it, Aileen also ntioned……”
Litt forced himself to draw back his thoughts and responded casually. He indeed rembered his sister saying that Mina had beco beautiful, but to Litt, Mina was still Mina, the cheerful and outgoing girl who greeted him every morning and prepared dinner for them.
“But, I still think it’s better if she doesn’t change.”
“Eh? What’s wrong? Jealous?”
Seeing Litt’s sulking manner, Lillian chuckled and nudged Litt with her elbow.
“Of course not, I just feel that no matter what, Mina is still Mina.”
“Alright then, let’s assu that’s the case.”
Hearing Litt’s response, a hint of disappointnt flashed in Lillian’s eyes, but she quickly smiled again.
“By the way, Litt, have you decided what you want to do in the future?”
“Future?”
“Yes, I’ve already decided, I’m going to join the Hero Army!”
While speaking, Lillian vigorously clenched her right hand.
“You heard the Hero’s speech, right? I also want to fight for humanity! Joining the Hero Army to exterminate the Demon Clan! That’s my goal!”
After the crisis in the Luo Jiaiya Duchy was resolved, Duanmu Huai returned to this border village. After all, Luo Jiaiya was a foreign land, and it was impossible for him to keep his army stationed there. He wanted to see how many soldiers would choose to stay after his speech and how many would join him. Hence, he temporarily stayed here, leaving the organizing and recruitnt to the old General.
“Exterminating the Demon Clan…… That kind of thing can’t be done.”
“Goodness, don’t speak so negatively, how will you know it can’t be done if you don’t try?”
“But if we are to exterminate the Demon Clan, wouldn’t it an invading their lands and killing them? Though they look different from us, they also have elderly and children, that……”
“So what?”
However, before Litt could finish his words, Lillian interrupted angrily.
“When the Demon King’s Army invaded us, they didn’t hold back against our elderly and children either, did they? Haven’t you seen those whose hos were destroyed by the Demon King’s Army? Haven’t you heard their cries?”
“I……”
Facing Lillian’s interrogation, Litt was montarily speechless. When the Demon King’s Army attacked the Summoning Country, many fled this way as refugees, and Litt saw their tragic state—their pain, sorrow, and anger. Clearly, Lillian felt similarly.
“I will never allow such tragedies to recur in our village! I must protect everyone here, and to do that, we must completely eliminate the Demon Clan! Anyway, I’ve made up my mind!”
“……”
“Litt.”
Turning back, Lillian stared at Litt.
“I hope you join in the Hero Army. Just staying here won’t realize our ideals. I’m not very smart, but I understand that just defeating the Demon King isn’t enough. Heroes have defeated the Demon King multiple tis throughout history, and the Demon King’s Army did temporarily retreat. But afterward, they would always return. Perhaps the Hero truly can defeat the Demon King, and we might enjoy brief peace. But what about after that? My children, my grandchildren, or my grandchildren’s grandchildren will still face the threat of the Demon King’s Army.”
“…… I……”
