I, a mercenary, became a beautiful silver-haired boy

Chapter 616

One year later

In the Monster Forest outside the north gate of Brooks City, Elena is carefully advancing using the complex terrain of the forest.

This year, the demons from the extreme north of the continent have been particularly active, constantly launching wars against neighboring countries, and various armies have launched cross-border attacks.

Even recently, there have been suspected sightings of demons near Brooks City, and Elena is here to investigate this matter.

Obviously, this is a sign that the Demon King is about to revive. The demons can no longer hold back and are eager to restart the conquest wars of the past.

Countries everywhere have smelled the danger, and the brave candidates from various countries can no longer live a leisurely life.

They must act to compete for the only title of the brave, and only by becoming the chosen brave can they defeat the future Demon King.

Elena is also one of these people, and she can risk her life to become a brave.

But she has neither the idea of ​​success nor the righteousness of saving the world, she just wants the people she cares about to live a good life.

The threat of the demon king cannot be ignored. For a better future, becoming a brave man is a must.

"Elena... wait for me, you're walking too fast!"

Elena was still carefully investigating the situation ahead, and a pink and white figure came from behind.

That was Weiwei, who was holding a staff in both hands as a crutch and keeping up quickly.

Her physical fitness was a bit worse than Elena's. Even though the other party was suppressing her steps, Weiwei still had a hard time keeping up.

"Hush, be quiet, we don't know where these demons will appear, and being attacked first is very passive."

He turned around and made a silent gesture to Weiwei. The demons were a group of extremely difficult enemies, and they had seen it a year ago.

Although both she and Weiwei had made great progress this year, they were far from the original appearance, and they still couldn't be careless when facing the demons.

"Elena, I still think it's not appropriate for the two of us. Fighting the demons is too dangerous. We should really let Elena join us."

Weiwei said a little uneasily, walking behind Elena and gently pinching her clothes, as if this would make her feel more secure.

"What are you talking about? Who is the sister and who is the brother? We sisters have to protect our brothers. What's the point of letting the brothers come and protect us all the time?"

Elena seemed to resist when she heard this. She has always been concerned that her strength as a sister would be weaker than her brother one day.

Although she didn't mention it much, she has always been concerned about Elena being her practical teacher. In her opinion, she is the one who should teach the other party.

"Besides, you know how Elena is recently. He has been in a bad mood since Elena left.

He has a bad face every day, and he numbs himself with work and hunting. He is better only when facing the two of us.

He is still busy with upgrades recently, and has no time to take care of us."

Elena showed a sad expression as she spoke. Elena was really worrying in the past year, as if he had become a different person.

"Elena... there is nothing we can do, but we should at least call on others. We are a team, and we should help each other at this time, right?"

Weiwei also said a little sadly. This was the first time she saw Elena like that.

But even so, she still felt that it was too dangerous for the two of them to face the demons. Even if Elena was not in good condition and had no time, Shirley, Michelle and Serita could come to help.

Facing Weiwei's proposal, Elena was silent.

In the academy, everyone has always been in a small team, and the relationship between them can indeed be described as good.

But the backbone of this small group has always been Elina. Since Elina left, the small team is like a pair of headphones that can't hear one side.

Although it can still be maintained as it is, there is always a feeling of suffocation, and the sense of disharmony is still quite strong.

Elena's personality is also relatively withdrawn, and she is not very willing to take the initiative to communicate with others.

Only Weiwei, who grew up with her, can talk to her about everything. When getting along with other people, Elena always subconsciously keeps a certain distance.

"Weiwei, don't forget that I am a hero. Fighting the demons is the fate of a hero. What kind of hero is it to always rely on others? Even if it is for training, I have to do this myself."

Elena said with a cold face, which was regarded as rejecting Weiwei's proposal again, although it sounded like she was just being stubborn.

"Which of the previous brave predecessors didn't defeat the demon king together with their companions? There is no such thing as a lone ranger hero. Besides, you are not a hero yet, you are stillA candidate!"

Weiwei said angrily, and she was going to quarrel with Elena as usual.

After all, the other party has been unwilling to listen to her for a long time, and it is difficult to persuade her!

"That's only now. The title of the hero will be mine sooner or later."

"Don't be too confident. If you can't become a hero, I will not be stingy with my ridicule."

Weiwei said unhappily. If she had known that Elena was still like this after so long, she should have asked her companions for help on her behalf.

"Shh, here it comes. "

Suppressing the angry Weiwei's mouth, Elena looked forward with a vigilant face.

Soon there was a movement in front, a tall demon was walking nearby.

It was a demon with purple-gray skin, a pair of devil horns on his head, and a slender tail that was shaking with the movement of walking.

This appearance can be said to be a very pure demon, and it is basically the same as the gentle image in the picture book.

"These beasts really came here, how did they bypass the cordon?"

Seeing this scene, it can be confirmed that the demons really appeared in this area, and the mission is actually completed, even if they go back now, they can still report.

"Too scary, what if these demons attack the city? ! "

Weiwei also saw it. Looking at this demon, she felt quite uneasy.

Especially when she thought of the brothers and sisters in the orphanage, if the demons attacked, they would be in danger!

She didn't want the children to be attacked by demons when they went out one day, especially the two children who were determined to be adventurers like Elena. They were the most likely to run into these demons.

"Let's kill him!"

Elena said coldly without hesitation, drawing the long sword at her waist and slowly approaching from the opponent's blind spot.

"Elena, wait a minute, this is too reckless!"

Weiwei panicked when she saw this and tried to stop Elena, not wanting to see her take this risk.

But Elena's movements were very fast. In the blink of an eye, she had already pulled away. Weiwei had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
