From the moment he said his name, the mixed-race boy seemed to really regard Hino as someone he could trust.

He told Hino frankly that in the past few months, he had indeed had several chances to kill Hino and another elf to complete the "welcome ceremony" task assigned by the master.

This is the shaming that every outsider who lands on the island will encounter. The mixed race that occupies the islands does not allow other outsiders to land on the island.

If all the people who came to the island were elves or Tomi people, the leader would have dispatched an assassination team to kill all these outsiders, but Hino also brought an unusual companion—a six-headed dragon.

The enemy is too powerful, and the lord can only secretly observe what these outsiders want to do.

After waiting for four full months, the lord discovered that although these outsiders had no intention of fighting against them, they definitely planned to settle on the island. Therefore, the lord issued an order to the little chief who guarded the island.

The little chief sent Andre, and the task was to wait for an opportunity to kill an elf, to make an example of others, and to let the group of dragons leave this dangerous island with the only remaining elf.

This is similar to the method used to deal with the Aowei garrison decades ago. After all, an island where only the dragon clan can guarantee its own safety will not be coveted by any race.

"Then why didn't you kill me?" Hino looked curiously at Andre's big gray-blue eyes.

Andre's cheeks flushed suddenly while sitting by the bed.

He bent his body and lowered his eyes, as if he was apologizing to his knees after doing something wrong.

It is obvious that he is not a competent killer. After lurking in this orchard for more than a month, he came to the conclusion that the elf who often carries a bow and arrow is very strong, and it is difficult to kill him with one blow. As an assassination target, the probability of failure is too high. Six There is no need to consider the head dragon, so Andre regards Shino as the most suitable assassination target.

But Hino is surrounded by the chubby-cheeked dragon boy almost all the time, and occasionally when the boy is out of sight, just as he is about to make a move, the boy will suddenly appear beside Hino, startling Andre Uneasy.

So he decided to figure out the law of the boy's appearance and disappearance first, so as to fight the elves for as long as possible.

One afternoon a month ago, he saw the chubby boy leaning against the window of the wooden house, holding a small wooden carved doll in one hand, bumping into each other and pretending that the dolls were fighting, uttering "bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang" sound.

Then accidentally, the head of a small wooden carving in the boy's hand was broken by another wooden carving.

The boy trembled with fright, and stood at the window for a long time. He jumped out of the window in a hurry, picked up the broken doll's head, pressed it back on the wood carving, wiped it on his clothes, and put it back on the window sill tremblingly. To cover up the traces of the crime.

Although he didn't know what the pair of dolls were for, Andre could guess that the boy must have caused a disaster.

Not long after, the female dragon named "Mira" came to the window, just picked up her newly carved doll, and watched in shock as the doll's head fell to the ground and rolled away.

The roar of the female dragon shook the whole orchard.

At that time, there were only three people in the wooden house, two elves, and the chubby dragon boy.

Andre couldn't understand what the female dragon was growling, but he guessed she was asking who had broken the doll.

The chubby dragon boy hurriedly picked up the doll's head that had fallen to the ground, and pinned it back on its neck. His crimes were obvious.

But before the boy could speak, Andre saw the golden-eyed elf suddenly step forward, clasped his hands at the female dragon, nodded repeatedly, with a guilty look on his face, as if he had taken the blame for the boy, and immediately went to In the cupboard, all the jams made by hard work in the past few days were given to the female dragon.

After the female dragon left, the elf turned around slowly, squinted at the dragon boy standing by the window with a pointed tail in his arms.

What will happen next, you can guess without looking at Andre—the little elf has assumed the responsibility and compensation for the dragon boy, and will naturally let the dragon boy do things for him to pay off the debt.

But in the next moment, he saw the little elf in the window suddenly pursed his mouth, raised his head and smiled with a mouthful of small white teeth.

None of the expected intimidation and threatening negotiations took place.

The small wooden house was suddenly filled with the elf's laughter.

There seemed to be a kind of joy that Andre had never felt before. Rampage in that wooden house, every board that was shaken by laughter, could feel that he was loved and forgiven.

Silly watching the little elf and the little fat dragon in the window fighting around with a doll each, laughing heartily, and when he came back to his senses, Andre found himself laughing too.

He didn't remember that he had shown this expression before, and of course no one else would. It was the first time in his life that he smiled, and no one would object.

From that moment on, Andre felt that a strange part of himself was awakened by the elf's smile.

He had a crazy idea, he didn't want to kill the laughing elf, he planned to find a way to scare the elf away, and let the elf leave this terrible magic island forever.

The difficulty is that there are six-headed dragons beside the elf. Once Andre unlocks the concealment spell given by his master and appears in front of the elf, he may be killed by the surrounding dragons within 10 minutes.

He can use these 10 minutes to assassinate the elf.

You can also use these 10 minutes to try to lure the elf into the underground passage, and use the leader's witchcraft to escape the dragon's pursuit.

The former has a [-]% chance of winning, and the latter has a less than [-]% chance of winning. The most important thing Andre can live up to now is reason, but this time, he chose the latter.

As a result, he was not captured by the Dragon Clan, but was subdued by the elf who seemed powerless as soon as he appeared.

At this moment, the elf asked him why he didn't kill him.

How should he answer?

"I think you have a nice laugh" This crappy and true answer obviously made everyone present laugh.

"I want to know your details before I start." Andre gave such an answer in a low voice, which may not let the dragons around him let him live, but it should make this elf feel that he is quite cautious.

He wanted to leave this little elf with a less ignorant and stupid impression before he died, so that he could somehow be worthy of the status of a friend.

"Then you know my details now, do you still want to kill me?" Hino looked at Andre curiously.

Andre looked at him with a frown, and answered in a low voice, "I don't want to kill you."

"Okay! Then we're friends from now on!" Shino declared earnestly: "If you agree, take a breath, and if you disagree, spell out the words 'I don't want to be friends with you' in Elvish language."

At first Andre cautiously held his breath and thought for a while, then he realized that he didn't know Elvish, let alone spelling.

He held his breath and looked up at the elf helplessly, only to see the elf suddenly raised his head and grinned with a mouthful of small white teeth. Then he realized that the elf never gave him a chance not to be friends.

Laughter seemed to be rushing around with a lot of happiness.

It's just that the elf's beautiful eyes are not looking at the chubby dragon boy at the moment, but Andre.

It turns out that this is what it feels like to be stared at by these eyes.

Andre laughed out loud, lowered his eyes, and took a slow breath unnaturally, as if deliberately responding to the elf.

He wants to be the elf's friend.

Xinuo asked Andre to stay for a few days, trying to persuade him to help bring back the food from the orchard for the tribe to taste.

But Andre just shook his head silently every time, and when Liu Guang wanted to find out the traces of the tribesmen on the island several times, Andre would fall silent.

Two days later, Andre took the initiative to tell Hino: "Since I can remember, I have made a contract with the master. If I reveal the secrets of my tribe, I will die immediately. After I die, the master will send other Busoru to kill you." .”

Hino was surprised, and immediately called his companions to discuss it together.

"The people living on this island are not savages at all, but untalented descendants and aborigines held hostage by a group of half-blood witches under contract." Liu Guang summed up the current known situation.

Hino asked Andre: "If you don't have to tell the secret yourself, but we are here to ask, if you nod and shake your head, will it trigger the contract?"

"As long as it is a question that touches on the core secrets, I can't make any response." Andre replied.

"That can at least help us eliminate wrong guesses." Shino said pleasantly: "I'll tell you some of our guesses, if you guess wrong, you shake your head, if it involves secrets, you don't respond, is that okay? "

Andre nodded.

"Do your people and natives live underground on this island?" This was the first question that Hino came up with.

Andre shook his head.

"Is there many underground passages you dug on this island?"

Andre nodded.

"Have you been hiding in the underground passage to hide your breath?"

Andre didn't respond.

Hino immediately told several dragons Andre's response in common language.

"Didn't live underground? Where are the people on the island hiding?" Claude looked at Andre inexplicably.

"He can't tell these secrets," Hino explained.

"Ask him for me," Lucio asked, "How many people live on the island?"

Hino immediately asked Andre for Lu Xiuao in the language of the Wu tribe.

"Our people are about [-]. I don't know theirs."

"Who are they?" Hino asked.

Andre told Hino what he could say——

There are frequent wars on the island. It is said that there were seven forces coexisting at the most, and gradually merged into today's two forces after hundreds of years of fighting.

One force is named "Modulu", and their leader is the original indigenous leader on the island.In Modulu's territory, even untalented hybrids can live in the family like normal people and be treated equally.

The other side is called "Busoru", which is the territory dominated by the mixed descendants of witches and trolls. After being born in Busoru's territory, the mixed race who is judged to be untalented will be expelled from the family and treated as the same as the natives. livestock.

Although Busoru has a strict hierarchy, there are still many indigenous people on the island who stay in Busoru's territory, because most of the tribesmen with mixed-race talent will go to Busoru to enjoy high-level treatment. With the protection of these mixed-race people, the tribe will be safer and the supplies Also much richer.

It is roughly estimated that the people of Modulu's territory are about three times that of Busoru.

Andre belongs to the Busoru faction. Although he was born in a mixed-blood noble family, he was judged to have no inheritance talent and was driven as a livestock. He has never seen his biological parents since he was born.

Hino looked at Andre seriously: "How about joining us and becoming the ninth citizen of the new homeland?"

Andre looked at Hino, didn't say anything, just showed a grateful but disappointed smile.

"I may be summoned by the master at any time, it's not up to me," he said.

"Where is your master?" Hino asked urgently.

"It's a secret."

"Can't you ignore him? We can protect you."

"When I am recalled, I will disappear, and no one can stop me from returning to my master." Andre thought for a while, then raised his finger to Ilsa: "Just like that child will suddenly return to you, I will also return to you." I would return to my master like that, but I was forced to."

Hino was surprised: "So you were sent to our orchard by witchcraft instead of lurking underground through a tunnel, right?"

"It's a secret." Andre replied helplessly.

Hino immediately told his companions about the new speculation.

"So there are no people living in their tunnel?" Frank looked at Shino disappointedly: "Even if they are flooded, they can't be forced to show up?"

Lu Xiuao sighed: "I said that this group of savages is much more difficult to deal with than you imagined. Back then, Liu Guang and I were stationed on the island for three months. Every day—every day! Soldiers died suddenly under our noses. , In fact, I am very worried about whether I can protect these two elves."

Liu Guang was also discouraged: "It's really hard to deal with. Their witchcraft is a mysterious technique that even the royal priests of Aowei cannot decipher. We can even lose our way in their formation."

Andre calmly reminded Hino: "I will be recalled to my master within three days. The master should kill me and send other people to assassinate you. You can't prevent it. You must leave here within three days."

Hino grabbed Andre's shoulder in shock: "You can't go back and take risks."

Andre shook his head, spread his palms to Shino, and showed him the contract totem in his palm: "The contract is still there, I can't resist."

Hino looked down at his palm, frowned and raised his head: "How can I get your master to let you go? I can go and negotiate with him."

Andre shook his head: "It is impossible for the master to show up in front of the six-headed dragon."

"Where is that bastard hiding!" Di Carlo growled.

Andre lowered his head in despair, he couldn't answer the question.

"That, that! That, that!" Ilsa on the side grabbed Shino's arm, asking him to see the purple plasma in his palm.

Hino reluctantly boasted, "Ilsa is amazing".

The little fat dragon who finally got a response immediately became excited. He stood up and walked to Andre, held the purple plasma controlled by his palm in front of his eyes, and asked triumphantly: "Is it right? Right?"

Andre couldn't understand what the boy was saying, so he bowed his head and ignored him.

Immediately, Ilsa drew several small circles on the ground with the tip of her tail. Every time she drew a circle, she raised her purple pupils to observe Andre's expression.

Andre was a little curious about the boy's actions, and began to carefully look at the small circle he drew. His originally indifferent eyes gradually showed a little puzzled surprise.

Ilsa drew a total of eight circles, and then raised her head to observe Andre's reaction carefully. After seeing that Andre understood the meaning of the positions of these circles, Ilsa drew again with the tip of her tail in the middle of the eight circles. a circle.

Andre was slightly taken aback, then looked up at the boy in shock.

Sure enough, Ilsa immediately ran to the elf to claim credit: "They hid over there! They hid an island! They are over there!"

"What did you say?" Hino sometimes had difficulty understanding the little fat dragon's language, especially when Ilsa was in a hurry: "Speak slowly."

Ilsa raised her palm again, turned a small part of the air into purple plasma, and patiently explained to Hino: "It's not a formation, the magnetic field has changed, and you will get lost."

Hino still couldn't understand what he meant.

But these words suddenly awakened Liu Guang. She used to search for savages on this island day and night decades ago, but she often lost her way when she sensed strange frequencies. direction.

This is an extremely strange thing, dragons, like some birds, can receive subtle differences in the magnetic field, and the savages on the island don't know what magic they can use, but they can actually change the local magnetic field on the ground, and Ilsa's The talent of plasma can just visualize the direction of the magnetic field, perhaps it is aware of the changes in the surrounding magnetic field.
