Chapter 50: Snowbok the Witty
The white little hands tightly grasped the hem of her long skirt. Heulia lowered her head, bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, and fell into silence for a long time.
War... another war... a disgusting war...
If we start a war, many people will die...
I don't want them to die...
So just run away...
Escape to a place where there are no outsiders... Escape to a place where there is no war...
As long as we can find a place without war, we can live well, right?
It must be like this, right?
After a long silence, Heulia raised her delicate little face, showing a very forced smile, and she said softly:
"I will lead the Salt Tribe...away from here."
"So... please don't start a war, okay?"
As she said this, her eyes were full of pleading.
The amber eyes no longer had the luster they once had, leaving behind only a dullness and loss like dead ashes.
I guess she must have felt very uncomfortable saying such cowardly words, right?
It's just that she was really afraid of the terrible price that war would cost.
It's only been two months, but the world seems to have become a different place.
For some reason, her heart was filled with fatigue.
How great would it be if… we could actually find a place of peace?
Heulia prayed to the sky in her heart, hoping that there really was such a place in this world, a paradise, a place without conflict.
"Oh, sky... please don't bring war to my people..."
"If I can end the war, I am willing to give up everything I have..."
Unfortunately, the sky could not hear her inner prayers, so...
Two guys who looked like half-street thugs showed up.
"Facing war will bring suffering..." Sunan walked out slowly from the void, looking at Heulia and Snowbox in front of him, with a hint of hatred on his face for their lack of fighting spirit.
"But if you escape from war, you will face the pain of losing everything."
Yes... if you avoid war, you will taste the bitterness of losing everything.
Lost dignity, lost blood, lost future...
If you lose your humanity, you will lose a lot, but if you lose your animality, you will lose everything.
If you don't want to experience the pain of loss, you have no choice but to resist.
Only after resisting and failing will you understand the value of courage.
"That makes sense."
Even the Chilong King, who had always been causing trouble and singing against his inner voice, rarely expressed his agreement.
King Chilong looked at Heulia in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Sighing at the choice of the demon before her, and sighing at the future of her people.
A god without any blood will bring infinite disappointment to his people.
Noticing the sudden appearance of Sunan and Chilong King, Heulia's eyes were full of doubt, but this doubt was inevitably mixed with a little hope.
Maybe... God heard her prayers?
Faintly, a light shone in the girl's eyes.
That is the brilliance of hope.
Unlike her is Snowbox.
The moment Sunan and Chilong Wang appeared, Snowbox immediately found that he could not see the two gods in front of him clearly.
He knew very well what this meant.
Either the two gods have some special magic or treasure that can completely conceal their aura, or...
These two are powerful beings who can truly dominate the continent of Teyvat!
Sunan looked at Snowbox, then at Heulia, and shook his head helplessly.
When I was playing games in my previous life, I could guess from the background information that Heulia was an extremely gentle and cowardly demon.
At first he didn't quite believe it, thinking it might be an error in the text or something... However, when he saw the other person and heard those words, he believed it.
This kind of demon god whose whole body exudes the message of "I'm easy to bully"...you can tell his character at a glance, right?
Especially since the other person doesn't look like someone who would lie...
Tsk!
"Oh... What a hassle..." Sunan rubbed his face in annoyance, "I have to play the bad guy again..."
Snowbox, who had noticed the indifferent look in Su Nan's eyes when he looked at him, was already full of vigilance. Now, after hearing Su Nan's words, he immediately deduced all kinds of information.
"First of all, the other party is definitely not here to help me!"
As for why I say that...
You can tell just from the look in his eyes.
The way Sunan looked at him and the way he looked at Heulia were completely different!
One is as cold as winter, the other is full of helplessness and regret...
Two attitudes, one answer.
He's about to flip over!
"I can't feel a clear breath..."
"The careless look... and the slightly familiar figure beside him..."
"Higher Demon God!"
"It's definitely a high-level demon god!"
"Looking at the relationship between the two of you, you are most likely high-ranking demon gods!"
"How could I have the ability to do this... How could I have the ability to do this!"
What surged was the grief, indignation and helplessness in my heart.
How could Snowbox have deserved to have offended two powerful upper-level demons at the same time!
What made him even more confused was the problem of Heulia in front of him!
If you know these two upper demon gods, just tell me!
If you had said it earlier, wouldn't the problem have been resolved long ago?
Why keep it secret?
If you were just being honest, would I do such a predatory thing?
wrong!
Snowbox noticed the look in Heulia's eyes and felt something was wrong. Then, he seemed to understand something.
"hiss……"
"Is my luck so bad?"
"You were caught just as you were about to do something bad today?"
Snowbox made a further guess.
That is, Heulia did not recognize the two people in front of her who were most likely upper-level demon gods.
the reason is simple.
First of all, Heulia's expression was a little confused, and then there was the news he had heard.
Heulia has moved her people four times so far!
Nothing went wrong with the demons that forced the Salt Tribe to move.
That is to say...
He had "extremely good luck" this time as he met two demons who had nothing to do and were wandering around.
And what was even better was that these two demon gods seemed to be dissatisfied with his behavior and Heulia's choice...
Thinking of this, Snowbox gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness.
Of course, I also gave myself a bad review for my luck today.
So... Snowbox, who had confirmed his guess, immediately spoke out:
"Lord Heulia, I think war is not a good thing, and relocating the people is an extremely complicated and troublesome matter."
"So after much thought, I think it would be better for your Salt Tribe to continue staying here."
"What's more, your power can produce refined salt, which can be used as an important commodity for trade between our two tribes."
"For the people of our territory, important supplies such as salt are indispensable."
"So what do you think, sir?"
