A dull longsword and a heartbroken villager

Does He not also toy with inferior beings? Does He not also kill Him? Or would the world be more harmonious?

Not will.

Bray is not bloodthirsty, nor is he the type to draw his sword at the sight of a Silver Saint.

To be honest, I don't hate silver-class characters that much.

He also has good relationships with several silver-level individuals.

Several dragons, a wolf, and even a turtle I've only met once.

However, such neutral silver species are extremely rare. Most silver species maintain an unchanging attitude towards lower species, remaining consistently disdainful and arrogant.

Even for them, many lower species were merely objects of amusement.

However, it's not fair to say that the lower species are so noble. They also kept many other animals in captivity and kept many pets, and they did a lot of experiments on other living beings.

Therefore, Bray was not attacking these Silver Races from any lofty moral standpoint.

He didn't want to comment on how cruel, ugly, or inhumane the behavior of these silver-blooded individuals was.

His purpose was simple and practical: to be safe and to survive.

He traveled a long way to this blindingly bright cave to hunt down this silver-type monster, for his own sake and for the sake of the others in the safe zone.

Bray thought his idea was good, but because of this, he couldn't tell others any profound truths, because he himself rarely had any serious profound truths in his mind.

If you need guidance, Bray would recommend going to Father Thun.

That's the kind of guy who puts his ideas into action to explain all the "grand truths" of the world; he's completely different from me.

Ah, to be honest, Bray sometimes wonders if he's not really any different from some thief who might still be at large.

Bray looked at his wrecked motorcycle, then at the people lying haphazardly around him, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Should I check the condition of my motorcycle first, or should I check the condition of this group of people first?

The cave was far from the safe zone of the capital. As Bray looked at these people, he noticed several unfamiliar faces.

There are only so many people in the safe zone, so you should have seen them all in two years.

After observing for a while, you can usually tell whether someone is in the safe zone.

So, how many of these people came from other safe zones? Like that brat Luo Shiqi?

What to do with these people after they wake up is also a very troublesome matter.

If left unattended, it's uncertain whether these people will survive to reach the next safe zone.

In the wilderness, there are not only passing demigods, but also hordes of monsters hunting for food.

None of the monsters that can survive under the noses of demigods are benevolent.

But for Bray to take them back... that would be a thankless and troublesome task.

After rubbing his chin, Bray decided that if the motorcycle wasn't broken, he would drive back himself.

Even if the motorcycle breaks down, it wouldn't matter if these animals walked back with me.

Unfortunately, Bray thought the latter possibility was very small.

Bray crouched down beside the water-soaked motorcycle and twisted the handlebars.

"Whoosh—" The wheels started spinning rapidly.

“Very good.” Bray nodded. His luck was indeed not bad. It was a pity that the group of people would have to give up now.

However, the sound of the engine starting only lasted for a few seconds before it stopped abruptly.

No matter how much Bray twisted the grip, it didn't work.

Are you kidding me... Even though the car got wet because of me, it's a magic-powered motorcycle, why does it break down just from being splashed with water!

Could it be that Naruko's protective charm has failed...?

He took out the amulet, examined it for a few moments, and found that it was intact.

So, is metaphysics really meaningless?

He dejectedly picked up the motorcycle, wondering how much it would cost to fix it when he got back.

Riding a motorcycle at high speed is quite fun, but it's extremely dangerous.

If it weren't for me, that car accident would have killed someone.

While Bray was still debating about the motorcycle, someone next to him woke up.

"I...I'm not dead?"

Where is this place? Is it a safe zone?

The first to wake up was the little girl who looked the most vulnerable.

She clutched her head, seemingly in great pain.

Is this a side effect of being submerged in the pool? Bray didn't know how these people survived being submerged for so long, but Silver Species... they can pull off any trick you want.

Even without concepts, there are many amazing maneuvers that can be performed, which is nothing new to Bray.

“This is not a safe zone, it’s the cave of a demigod,” Bray answered the little girl’s question.

He's a very helpful person, especially when the questioner is a little girl.

Wait... what is he thinking?

"..." The girl's mouth was wide open, as if she was shocked by Bray's words.

Seeing the other person's surprised look, Bray sat down.

As mentioned before, if the motorcycle breaks down, he will take this group of people to the Imperial Capital Safe Zone.

In any case, what the Imperial Capital Safe Zone is currently lacking is manpower.

However, a slight unease was stirring within Bray, as the frequency with which Silver-tier creatures were picking on lower-tier creatures in the vicinity had become increasingly serious over the past six months.

Who knows, maybe one day they'll gather together and launch an attack on the safe zone?

This may be wishful thinking; in any case, the Silver race has not united to the point where they can launch a joint attack.

Their pride also prevented a group of demigods from specifically targeting lower species.

If it weren't for the absolute power of "Demigod Lord" Umkandal, commanding these Silver Races would have been a difficult task.

Using absolute power to subdue other Silver-ranked beings sounds rather primitive.

But this makes perfect sense; it's a miracle that demigods who have never established a civilization can operate with such an organizational structure.

"I...I'm still alive...I'm still alive, I'm not dead..." The girl suddenly covered her face and began to cry loudly.

Bray was a little confused by the crying.

He couldn't understand the girl's feeling of believing she couldn't survive and then miraculously surviving.

The girl herself could not control her emotions and could only wail and cry, venting all the fear in her heart.

She's alive, she's alive...

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." she cried, repeatedly apologizing to the air.

The girl's cries also woke the others up.

Fourteen people woke up, while the rest never woke up.

It turns out that not everyone is lucky enough to survive. I thought none of the people at the bottom of the pool would die.

It seems I was being a bit too optimistic.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to the nearest safe zone.” Bray pulled the motorcycle up and slowly pushed it toward the cave entrance.

He didn't explain much to these people.

Where did the demigod go? Bray didn't say.

Why aren't they dead yet? Bray really didn't know.

As for where they were going, Bray did answer that question.

"Sir, where are we going..." the girl asked timidly.

“The Imperial Capital Safe Zone, wanna come?” Bray glanced at her, wondering why she was calling him “Sir.” The title “Sir” could satisfy many people’s vanity.

Because this title originated within a class system.

Of course, as someone living in this era, Bray doesn't dislike this title, but he doesn't like it either.

The important thing is that he himself is just an ordinary civilian, with no lofty status whatsoever.

It would be understandable to call the knights of the empire before its collapse "sir".

Bray couldn't understand why the little girl would call herself "adult." Because the girl spoke first, the other survivors also started calling themselves "adult."

He had a headache... He didn't enjoy being called that at all.

When Luo Shiqi called his name, he could take it as something new, but when so many people called his name, he felt very uncomfortable.

In the desolate wilderness, Bray, pushing his motorcycle forward, glanced at the little girl closest to him.

“My name is Bray, and also—”

"Don't call me 'sir' anymore, I'd rather you call me 'sir'." Sure enough, the title "Mr. Bray" was more comfortable, though he himself didn't know why.

“Okay, Mr. Bray.” Bray hadn’t said a word the whole way, and the girl obviously hadn’t expected that this man would suddenly look at her and start a conversation.

"My name is Elaine," the girl said, revealing her own name.

The people behind them also introduced themselves one after another, because this man was the key to whether they could survive in this godforsaken place.

Everyone had their own reasons for trying to get along with Bray.

Of course, don't worry... Bray didn't remember a single name.

Each of them puts on a serious act, but in reality, they are all just fragile, illusory faces.

Even the girl behind him was the same.

"How far is this place from the safe zone?" a man couldn't help but ask.

He was from the Imperial Capital Safe Zone, but he was kidnapped to a safe place and didn't know how far away his Imperial Capital Safe Zone was.

"This is outside the capital."

“I’m talking about the entire capital city, not just the capital city security zone,” Bray said.

Almost everyone fell silent for a moment, and most of them showed a hint of fear.

I couldn't help but be alarmed; the journey was far too long, and it would take more than a day to cover on foot.

The dangers that will be encountered during this period will be countless.

They even felt as if they had simply moved from one dead place to another.

"Be prepared to go hungry for a day," Bray said casually, without reacting to their emotions.

For Bray, the worst part of the journey of more than a day was the lack of food; he had only brought a little bit of food in his pouch.

But if this food is divided among this group of people, it will be gone in just a few bites for each person.

So it's better to go hungry; only consider food if absolutely necessary.

From the moment they left, these people's eyes showed more panic than gratitude.

"You're not from the Imperial Capital Safe Zone, are you? Why are you here?" Bray asked the people behind him a rather important question.

They didn't ask anyone in particular; anyone could answer.

However, Bray did not expect this outcome: no one would volunteer to answer.

It's like a teacher asking all the students a question, and then when it's time to raise their hands, nobody raises theirs.

"Emmmmmmmm" Bray had no experience in this area, so he didn't expect that no one would answer.

Almost everyone was looking down, or stammering and hesitant to speak.

"Your name is Elaine, right? Where are you from?" Left with no other option, Bray could only ask the little girl behind him these questions.

“Del Knight…” The girl hesitated for a few seconds before answering Bray’s question.

“Del Knight? That’s so far?” Bray frowned instinctively. Del Knight was definitely not a close place.
