It doesn't matter what the lord is.

"Then let's go and rescue that goddess. Alayya, take your sword and follow me."

Alayya placed one hand on the hilt of the sword and replied with a smile:

"Yes, Master."

18. This is our precious wealth of Yuxi City

……

Fileta never met her father.

Fileta has only seen her mother once since she was born.

She remembered her mother was tied to a pillar, smiling at her. Many people she didn't know stood beside the pillar, holding torches. That night was like a bonfire party, everyone sang and danced, and then lit the wood around the pillar. The flames burned, and her mother didn't scream, but just smiled at her, tears streaming down her face.

Fileta held a man's hand and asked what happened to her mother, and the man smiled and said.

"Ah, she has become 'unclean'. But it doesn't matter, the flames will purify her soul, and the gods will forgive her sins."

Fileta seemed to understand.

When she grew up, she heard that her mother was willing to play a play with those bored adults in order to keep herself alive. She pretended to repent and died in the burning, loudly declaring the sins of the demons, and loudly cursing herself for marrying with the demons and giving birth to children, "shameless". She used this to warn the girls in the city to commit suicide if they were caught by the demons, to tell them that chastity is more important than life, and in this way, her only daughter could survive.

Fileta was adopted by a lonely old man in the city and lived as his granddaughter.

But little Fileta soon discovered that she was a little different from others.

Her hair was white and grew very fast, always reaching her waist. Her skin was very white and her eyes were bright orange-yellow, which was completely different from the other children around her.

This difference has never been understood.

The children hit her head with stones. Fileta clumsily protected her head with her hands, but was still hit and bleeding.

They called her a monster.

Fileta didn't know what a monster was, but she knew those people hated her, otherwise they wouldn't have splashed her with liquid from a toilet bucket, put lots of dead bugs, centipedes and poisonous snakes in her seat, posted all kinds of insulting notes behind her and laughed around her.

Fileta felt aggrieved.

She whispered to her grandfather, who always sighed helplessly and said to her while leaning on his cane:

"Filita, you have to do better and leave them speechless..."

Fileta nodded.

She studied the magic books in the dusty library. Strangely enough, she seemed to understand those cryptic things. At that time, Fileta didn't understand that this was the so-called "magic genius". She just told the teacher happily that she could understand and use magic.

So that night, Fileta was beaten all over by the children around her and their parents.

Some picked up sticks, some took off their shoes, and some fought with bare hands, but no one held back and no one repented.

"My children don't know magic, so why do you know it?"

"Tell me! Where did you learn this from, you bad boy who eats all by himself!"

"Don't think you're superior just because you know magic. You'll always be a bastard! Just like your cousin's mother, you're all low-class bitches!"

"Beat her! Beat her! Ask her where she learned it from!"

"Come on, Dad! Humph, don't you know magic? Then use it and resist!"

Fileta was covered in dirt and wounds.

Someone spat in her face.

"Damn it, my dog ​​actually dared to show off to its owner. I really gave her face."

"That's right. Hey, sister, I think your child is the one who knows magic. When we get back, we'll ask this little bitch about the source of magic. We'll have to work it out carefully so that we can make great achievements in the future..."

"That's as it should be."

Everyone laughed and the crowd dispersed.

Fileta limped back home, and Grandpa could only use a cane. Being a coward, he hesitated for a long time before cursing in a low voice:

"This group of people is going too far..."

After cursing, he quietly opened the door and looked outside to make sure that no one heard it.

Fileta bit her lip and said nothing.

The old man sighed as he gently applied medicine to her.

I have to become stronger. I have to protect myself and Grandpa.

Fileta thought so, while enduring the torture, she studied magic. Finally, when she raised her hand and blew up a mound of earth, no one dared to touch her. Some of those who beat her even came to apologize.

Fileta was very happy.

Just when Fileta thought she was used to this kind of life, she had grown into a more graceful lady. She was somewhat similar to her mother, but perhaps because of her mixed blood, she was even more beautiful. When she was twelve years old, Pierce, the noble leader of Yuxi City, came to her house and said that he was willing to take her as a concubine - of course, in order to protect the reputation of Lord Pierce, this matter could not be said openly. Fileta was still the magician who sat in the city during the day, but at night, she would become Pierce's concubine.

Fileta refused without hesitation.

A few days later, after killing the demons on the front line, Fileta returned home exhausted, only to see her grandfather dying.

Exactly the same as myself back then.

He was covered in countless feces and dirt, his skinny body was covered in blood, one of his eyes was blinded forever, and the other eye was dim. When he saw Fileta coming back, he stretched out his hand and said tremblingly:

"Filita... Grandpa... didn't agree to them... Grandpa was... sorry for you before. I couldn't... protect you. Don't hate humans... They just don't understand. They are just afraid of you... You have to protect this city. One day, they will accept you, one day..."

The old man took his last breath.

Fileta's cries could be heard from far away that day.

The neighbors could hear the heart-wrenching cries.

That night, the man hired by Pierce to do the deed burned the house to the ground.

Afterwards, someone asked Pierce, aren't you afraid? Aren't you afraid of her revenge?

Pierce laughed and said, "What are you afraid of?" She looked arrogant and indifferent, but she was just a dog in her bones, a homeless dog that could only wag its tail and beg for mercy! She had no courage, she didn't even have the courage to kill people, because she was born to be the most despicable woman, and this inferiority complex had long been deeply rooted!

Finally, Pierce licked his lips and sneered:

“I just don’t know who will be her master in the future, and who will be able to experience that kind of enchanting charm. I don’t know in front of whom she will kneel, in front of whom she will lick the toes, and in whom she will look at with those seductive eyes! Haha, hahahaha… But no one will have this opportunity. Since she is so cowardly, then let’s squeeze out all her surplus value.”

……

Fileta laughed as she recalled the past.

Grandpa said, don’t hate humans, protect them well.

But in the end, no one understood him. Everything he did seemed like a joke. When the demon army proposed "sacrificing themselves for peace", the people shouted and seemed to be relieved.

Fileta also seemed relieved.

She was tied up like her mother, tied to a pillar, gagged, unable to chant or draw a formation, and had lost all her power. After repeatedly confirming that there was no danger, the ugly demons crawled towards her with a grin and stretched out their evil hands to her.

Monsters everywhere.

Fileta's soft lips trembled, her teeth clenched the rough rope that was binding her mouth, and blood flowed between her white teeth.

But I really want to live.

I want to be recognized by humans, I want to integrate into human life, I want to talk with them, I want to have a more peaceful and long-term future.

Am I wrong? Am I wrong for having the blood of the demon clan and killing my mother and grandfather?

The monster tore her clothes off.

That fishy-smelling mouth and those ferocious and sharp teeth bit towards her fair neck.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of metal colliding and the sound of something piercing flesh.

The monsters that were rushing forward stopped.

Fileta turned around with difficulty and saw the young man waving his hands exaggeratedly as if he was shooing away mosquitoes:

"Fuck you, get out of here! Don't you know that private property is sacred and inviolable? I am now the mayor of Yuxi City. This is our Yuxi City magician. I will be angry with anyone who steals it. Did you hear me? Huh? You dare to test me, right, Alayya? Beat it up for me!!"

The woman in silver armor passed by him like the wind, pulled out the sword that had been nailed into the monster's head before, and used the sharp sword to kill any monster that dared to approach her.

The boy who was only slightly taller than him slowly followed and untied his own rope.

Fileta leaned on him without any strength, or to be more precise, in his arms.

She saw the young man with a gentle smile looking at the overwhelming demons, his hands were not even shaking, as if he didn't care about anything in the world and said:

"I, Lid, am going to take her away today. Let's see who has the courage to stand in my way!"

19. Because I have no shame

Creation! Change! Play! People! Ah!

The moment I saw Fileta, two words came to my mind: bloody loss.

Because this person is the one I saw last night when I was half asleep!

A young lady bathing in the lake!!

Sure enough, I was wondering why this person had a side quest vibe, but I didn't expect that I avoided him based on the principle of being lazy and doing less work, and after going around in circles, I still triggered this quest. Why did I lose so much money? Because I missed the bathing plot! There will never be such an opportunity again! !

It’s so uncomfortable! !

What have I done?!

This is like the classic plot in RPG games. After visiting the village chief, the village chief asks you to find villager A, and villager A asks you to find villager B. After you find villager XYZ, you find out that the real character is still the village chief. You get really angry. It's all a wasted trip! !

When I brought this magician named Fileta back to Yuxi City, I did not tell Pierce about this matter, but directly brought Fileta back to my lord's mansion.

I have something to confirm with Fileta.

There were only two chairs in the room, so Fileta had to sit on the bed. She seemed to be afraid of dirtying the bed, so she only sat on it a little bit. I was about to speak, but she quickly said:

"You'd better send me back, otherwise the demon tribe..."

I said angrily:

"If you really have the courage, why are you crying before you die? I, the Lord of Yuxi City, am not panicking, so why are you? It's true that the Emperor is not in a hurry but... the maid is. See this one, the best among the young swordsmen, who will be famous all over the world in five years, a knight with both talents and skills, Alaiya. With her here and your magic level, it should be no problem to repel those low-level demons outside."

Although the theoretical level cap is 1.5 times that of humans, the combat effectiveness of a large number of low-level demons is basically not up to the human level.

To put it simply, high-level demons are as fierce as tigers, and the top three tribes will tremble when they see them. Low-level demons are as weak as dogs, and humans who know a little martial arts can beat them.

Fileta looked confused, and after a long while she said:

"But I'm not suited to be here."

I shrugged.

"Do you know why they chose to sell you without hesitation when they knew that they could exchange you for peace by throwing you to the demons?"

Fileta shook her head.

Alas, why is this person as stupid as Alayya? ?

I couldn't help but look at Fileta a few more times.

She looked a year or two older than me, and not much shorter than me. Her long white legs were pressed together under her magic robe, and her curvy figure was completely different from Alaya's. Her long white hair was spread out behind her, with the ends of her hair spread on the bed, and her orange eyes looked at me without blinking.

Especially that face, those eyes.

How should I put it... There really is an indescribable sense of charm about her, the kind of thing where every move she makes carries an inexplicable charm.

Isn't this supposed to be a big sister who knows everything? ?

I sighed and said:

"Pierce wanted your body but you refused, which was the trigger. Not only did you reject him, you also burned down the houses of those thugs at that time, making him feel a vague sense of crisis. You won't retaliate against him, and he knows this, but he still feels uncomfortable seeing you, and he is willing to be a dog for the demons, so there is nothing he can do."

"Those people will be divided into two groups. One group is the ones who bullied you in the past. Now that you are strong, they are afraid. So they want to drive you out to prevent you from settling accounts with them one day."

"The other part, which is the majority of people, is their inferiority complex. The people of Yuxi City don't have the strength to fight against the demons, and they don't have a way to escape to other places. In the end, they have to rely on you, a half-human, half-demon guy, to defend the city for them. Anyone with a little self-esteem can't stand it. So they acquiesced to sending you away, and even thought in their hearts that maybe everyone's life would be better if you left."

Fileta opened her rosy lips and said nothing for a long time.

She laughed quietly, tears streaming down her face.

I can certainly understand how she feels.

When I tolerated my father and brother doing crazy things to me time and time again, I also thought, if I didn't take action, would they feel embarrassed one day? Would they stop one day and understand me?

It turns out that there is no such operation at all.
