The Hero in Exile

Under the arrangement of the slave owner, a carriage was reserved for Lingyu and Moran to use.

"I mean Moran."

"what happened?"

Lingyu, who had been in the carriage for a long time, was already feeling very bored.

"Aren't you afraid of being recognized when you walk down the street, Demon King?"

"Oh, your brain."

He sighed to Lingyu.

"Then you saw me before you had my castle during the war."

"Uh, it seems not."

Lingyu thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case. Even when she asked Vida or Bourne before, they didn't tell her accurately. They just said vaguely that she could tell at a glance or that there was an evil figure.

"At that time, the empire was almost destroyed by my people. Except for the relatively stubborn Ruilin City, other places were crushed by our army and only reached the capital of the empire, Keith." Moran said after a moment of silence, "Without a strong opponent, I naturally didn't want to take action. Later, I heard that the church summoned a hero. For the sake of caution, I decided not to show my strength and reveal my true identity. Naturally, I didn't appear in your eyes."

"I see. You've given it a lot of thought."

No wonder he had never seen Moran's appearance at that time, and he didn't even know his strength. Lingyu looked at Moran again and didn't think he was such a thoughtful person just by looking at his appearance.

"As a human hero, aren't you more conspicuous than me?"

It was not difficult to sense from his words that Moran was quite worried that his current situation would be exposed.

Seeing Moran's worried look, I decided to tell him so that he wouldn't worry about me all the time.

"In fact, apart from a very few people in the church, there are also senior officials from various countries who have seen me. The soldiers are all guards I selected myself, so not many of them know me."

"Phew, that's good, otherwise I won't know why I got caught when I wake up."

Moran's tense body finally relaxed after hearing this.

I chatted with Moran about random things like my views on the church or what to do next in the current situation, and time passed unexpectedly quickly.

Hey, hey, hey—

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the carriage.

"The two adults have arrived."

The slave owner spoke politely as Bu opened the carriage.

"We're finally here." Lingyu excitedly jumped off the carriage upon hearing the destination. "I'm almost dying of exhaustion from sitting in this carriage."

"I said don't get so excited, and don't trip when you jump."

"understood."

Lingyu gave a perfunctory answer. Moran began to have a headache seeing Lingyu still acting like a child.

"My butt is dying from sitting in this car all morning."

"I don't even have a cushion in the carriage either."

The people in the carriage in front got off one after another. They looked tired and must have been feeling uncomfortable. Fortunately, the slave owner put a cushion on his carriage.

"What are you yelling for? Hurry up and find me. Tomorrow is the auction time. Be careful or I will leave you all out in the wild."

The slave owner called out to the lazy adventurer.

After taking a look at the ordinary suburbs around him and the deep forest ahead, Moran confirmed his target and prepared to get up.

"Now that we are here, we should do some serious work. Lingyu, let's go."

"coming."

As they spoke, Lingyu and Moran began to head towards the forest.

"I don't know what's near this forest, how about I arrange two people?" When the slave owner saw that they were about to enter the forest, he immediately ran to the front.

"No, we'll take care of it ourselves."

Moran pushed the slave owner away with a look of contempt in his eyes.

"Well, you two should be careful and come back before dusk." He retracted his expression when he saw Mo Lan and Ling Yu walking away. "Tsk, just die in there."

It was pitch dark in the forest, with almost no sunlight from outside shining in. Strange cries coming from all around gave Lingyu goose bumps all over her body.

"Molan Molan, we won't get lost, right? How do you know where that demon is?"

Seeing that they had been walking for a long time and didn't see anyone, Lingyu said with some concern.

"I can feel the demonic energy around me. The aura in the front is heavier and seems to have stayed for a long time. I won't go wrong if I go forward." Moran closed his eyes and felt the familiar feeling in front of him and confirmed that it was correct.

"I thought we were lost, now I…Aaaaahhh!"

Plop—

I was distracted and had a very intimate face-to-face communication with my mother.

"I don't know what to say to you. I've already told you to be careful." Moran put Lingyu's hand on his shoulder and helped her up.

"Got it." Lingyu muttered softly.

"I'm talking to you, Lingyu."

Lingyu noticed that Moran was looking at her with strange eyes. She knew that the fall would not cause any harm, so she was silent for a while before speaking carefully.

"What's wrong with me?"

"I noticed that your breasts seemed to be flattened by the fall. No, it seemed to have always been like this."

Lingyu pushed away Moran and stood in front of him.

"What do you want to do?" Moran had a bad feeling.

"The art of walking."

?

Snap—

The sound of eggs breaking.

Just now, Lingyu used the rare burst of magic power since he became weak to strengthen his legs, and then kicked Moran hard in the middle.

"It hurts, you you you..." Moran's face was distorted and he covered his crotch. The tremendous physical pain made it impossible for him to speak clearly.

"is it wrong?"

Moran originally wanted to show off his strength for a while, but when he looked up, he saw Lingyu looking at him gloomily, and he was so scared that he began to suspect who was the devil.

"I was wrong. I swear I will never do it again."

Seeing Moran apologize obediently in front of him, he did not pursue the matter further.
