Chapter 1333
Looking at the young man Bud who sincerely thanked him, Elena felt a little strange.
When he was a mercenary before, he basically did things for money. Even if he completed the task, he would not be thanked by the client. Everyone looked like they clearly distinguished between public and private affairs.
Now that he has come to this world, he has been thanked more and more by others. Although this is also related to the change in his style of doing things, this feeling does make Elena a little melancholy.
Originally, Elena came here to find the secret treasure of the gods hidden in the mountains, but when he passed by, he found that the village was attacked by the demons.
The demon king's army is really evil. War is something that is openly not attacked by ordinary people, but the other side burns, kills and robs openly.
This is not to provoke a war for the so-called interests. It is more of a one-sided invasion and plunder. There is no intention to talk about "martial ethics" at all. This is why the reputation of the demons is so bad.
As a result, a small number of neutral or even friendly demons were also implicated. If they wanted to make friends with people of other races, they would probably be besieged by other races as soon as they showed their heads.
Most people act emotionally, and it is too difficult to ask a person to be absolutely rational.
"Why don't you take refuge? I remember that the army has sent people to ask you to evacuate. Haven't you received the news that the demon army is attacking?"
Suddenly, Elena realized something. He knew that there was a village nearby. The army of the Kingdom of Solens naturally knew about it and even sent people to evacuate the people.
"This...about this...our village gathered together to discuss it. It is said that our place is remote and even the king can't notice it. The village chief and many adults think that there is no need to take refuge in this case. The demons should not look down on such a small village like ours."
Faced with Elena's question, Bud said a little embarrassedly. In essence, the people in the village were reluctant to leave their homes. After all, they have lived here for many generations.
Those who did not leave the village and chose to stay here had deep feelings for the village, and would not abandon the village and leave unless they had no other choice.
"A bunch of idiots, you are staying here just for this reason, are you kidding your own life?!"
Irena couldn't help scolding him, he was really a little angry, this was obviously a disaster that could be avoided, but because of such a fluke mentality, so many people lost their lives, which really made people want to laugh but couldn't.
Bud, who was scolded, lowered his head in shame, even though he was actually the one who protested against the decision of the village chief, but he was an orphan after all, and he was raised by everyone in the village.
It was not easy for him to leave if others did not leave, and he also had the idea of protecting the village to the last moment in his heart.
However, it must be said that beautiful people are so beautiful even when they are angry, not to mention that the reason why the other party is so angry is still worried about them. It is really hard for people to feel disgusted by such a beautiful and kind person.
"Forget it, there's no point getting angry with you. Feed this potion to the girl in your arms, and drink one yourself. Although healing magic can heal your injuries, there's no way to replenish the blood you shed and the physical strength you lost. These potions can help you recover in this regard."
After saying that, Elena handed Bud two bottles of purple potion. This is the proud work of the Alchemy Department of Freya College. It has the effect of restoring physical strength and accelerating the natural recovery of blood. It has not yet been mass-produced, so each bottle is quite precious.
"Thank you very much!"
Bud was not hypocritical. Now was not the time to be polite. He pulled out the cork and gently fed Mia in his arms. He also opened a bottle and drank it. It tasted a bit like peach and was quite delicious.
As soon as the potion entered his stomach, Bud felt a little hot all over his body. A lot of sweat flowed out of his pores, and at the same time, a feeling of hunger came out. His body was now very thirsty for energy.
"This is dry food. Eat it when you're hungry. Don't expect a big meal if the situation is urgent."
As if Elena had expected this situation, she handed over some dried meat and bread. Bud took it and started to eat it voraciously.
"Cough... cough!"
He choked because he ate too fast. He kept slapping his chest and coughing. His face was already red.
"Don't eat so fast. No one is competing with you. Really."
Elena said angrily. When she was watching from a distance before, Bud seemed to be very courageous and righteous.People, now it looks more like a starving ghost, eating so voraciously as if he had never eaten anything.
Elena had no choice but to hand over the water bottle she carried with her, and Bud took it and drank it in big gulps. After a few times, it was finally smooth, and he sat on the ground and gasped.
But soon he came back to his senses, blushed and looked at the water bottle in his hand, and then looked at Elena's face, and his face became even redder.
This... Is this considered an indirect kiss? !
Thinking of this, Bud had a bad idea, that is, he began to unconsciously feel that today was his lucky day, and it was too lucky to have such an experience.
Obviously, he shouldn't have such thoughts on such a day. Bud was ashamed of his thoughts, but as an innocent little boy, he couldn't control such thoughts.
"Can you stand up? Take me to find other villagers. It's not a good idea for you to run away aimlessly like this. It's better to go south. The army there will take you in.
There are two saints stationed there. They will distribute supplies to help refugees. You can at least guarantee the most basic life there.
When this battle is over, the work arrangement to rebuild the home will also be on schedule. You don't want to wander outside, right?"
Since the destruction of the village can't be stopped, Elena can only point out a clear way for Bud.
Because the saint and the brave man deliberately emphasized it, the Kingdom of Sorens is very concerned about the acceptance of refugees, and all kinds of nobles will bear the pain to contribute money and effort, at least they will not let the refugees starve and freeze.
"I understand, I will take you, Lord Elena, to find other people."
Bud also understands the current situation of the village. If Elena can really fulfill what she said, then seeking refuge from the army is indeed the best choice.
I believe that other villagers who have suffered today's nightmare-like experience will also want to move on from it. After all, everyone is truly homeless.
