In Terra, she is a hunter and a bad woman.

It was simply that, as a human being, he instinctively felt surprised and curious about the mysterious and powerful person.

So, in response to Maria's question, he simply knelt down on one knee after a long silence...

"Your Highness, I am here to accept the punishment."

"punish?"

Maria felt a little strange when she heard what the other party said.

"Did you do something wrong?"

"..."

Bodrakasthi fell silent.

But after a moment, he did not make any preparation or excuse for his actions, but just lowered his head and spoke.

"The war doesn't end after you leave."

"The fighting lasted for a full thirty years before it finally died down."

"I am tired of killing. I am shirking my responsibilities."

"I, in the back, left Kazdel."

"I want to lead the Wendigo to find a peaceful place... just like the Cyclops did."

"I don't have the courage you and the teacher have. I'm just a timid person..."

Wendigo's words were calm, but there was a deep sense of helplessness hidden in them.

He loves the Sarkaz, his own Kazdel, the entire Sarkaz and his own country.

But as one of the last pure-blooded Wendigos, he also has to consider his own race.

He didn't want to be a cowardly warrior, but he also didn't want to be the last of his race.

He was caught in the middle and suffered a lot during that period.

Finally... the devil discovered his pain and forgave his sins.

He left the battlefield as a warrior carrying out the Demon King's orders, not for his own race.

Theresa left him with the last bit of dignity in the Sarkaz.

That is why, even now, he still regards the controversial Demon King as his king.

As for Neczrei.

He had no comment.

But even though he was pardoned by the Demon King, the sin of evading responsibility for many years still lingered in his heart. When he heard the bad news about the Sarkaz, he was extremely upset.

If I hadn't escaped, if I hadn't left, if I hadn't made the choice, would the Sarkaz not have faced the current split?

But unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Now, the devil has fallen asleep, and he can only come to Maria to seek punishment to wash away his sins.

Maria looked at the other person, paused for a moment, and then silently extended her hand.

"I won't say your choice is right...but I can tell you that your choice is not wrong."

"Avoiding war is a biological instinct... Even if it's Neczrei, if the Sarkaz are peaceful, he won't crave war."

"If I have to characterize your choice, I hope you can understand it as a blessing... Many people don't even have the right to leave the war, but you got that opportunity and made the choice."

"You didn't escape the war, you just left it with luck... Bodracasti."

Maria said this, gently patting the war veteran's shoulder.

Just as Theresa said to him back then, Maria now also gave her own answer.

She doesn't blame the other person.

Everyone has the right to choose their own happiness... In her eyes, Wendigo didn't hurt anyone, so he didn't do anything wrong.

She turned and walked, her steps calm.

The Wendigo stood there, staring blankly at the other person's receding back, slightly stunned.

But after a moment, he still bowed his head.

"Thank you, Your Highness..."

"..."

……

New Yanan, in the undeveloped ruins.

The silver-white figure was gritting his teeth.

The long sword in his hand was swung with incredible sharpness, and his precise and fierce attacks were even more tricky and continuous.

His superb swordsmanship and strong desire to attack are enough to make people tremble with fear.

Too fierce.

But in front of her, the orange shadow just jumped repeatedly.

He would switch his weapons from time to time and fight with the person in front of him.

The bizarre attack did not seem to make the opponent feel uncomfortable at all. She just frowned slightly and avoided the injuries that were almost fatal to ordinary people, with her little face tilted.

But even so, her steps were not slow and she switched weapons very quickly.

On the side, Texas watched the fight between the two men and frowned more and more.

As Lappland's best friend, she knew exactly how skilled Lappland was in combat.

Its unique and stylish fighting style is a school of its own... Although it also learned some swordsmanship taught by Ms. Maria, Lappland never regarded it as a whole.

On the contrary, she directly extracted the essence and considerations of the attack methods taught by Maria and integrated them into her own fighting style.

That is why the fighting power she can display in a one-on-one situation is extremely amazing.

It's not like Texas hasn't seen anyone who can defeat Laplander.

But not many can say that they are sure to win against Lappland.

And the Ceob in front of him... was obviously one of them.

Although she was currently being forced to retreat step by step, although the girl's face was wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and although Ceobe had no room to fight back.

But Texas could clearly see that Ceobe was gradually taking control of the situation.

She began to walk in circles trying to set Lappland's pace.

Although the results achieved so far are minimal, she has indeed begun to change the rhythm of Lappland.

There is only one reason for this result.

Ceobe...was not used to it.

Everyone has their own habits... just like some people will unconsciously cross their legs after sitting down, and some people will lift their little fingers when filling a glass of water.

This is a habit that has accumulated in corners of life over the years that are almost impossible to notice.

The same goes for martial arts.

Everyone has their own rhythm and habits. The so-called battle is to see who can suppress their own habits, use a more rational method, constantly ponder the enemy's choices, and then fight back.

The older the soldier, the more likely he is to have such problems.

A true master, even after decades of fighting and thousands of battles, can still maintain the feeling he had when he first took up the weapon...

Ceobe is at the other extreme.

Her fighting is completely random, and her attacks come entirely from her beastly instincts!

While Lappland was testing and leading the other party, Ceobe was also observing and leading Lappland!

What's even more terrifying is that this girl has an astonishing number of combat techniques that she has mastered.

So far, the two have been fighting for more than ten minutes, and Texas has not seen the girl use a move three times!

She could even clearly tell that many of them were imitations of Lappland's attacks!

Although not as sophisticated as the one used by Lappland, it is about 70% similar.

But this is her first time using it!

God knows how many weapons, techniques, and fighting styles she knows...

Its attack rhythm is even weirder than Lappland's!

This made Texas grit his teeth.

She was not very willing to admit her failure with the girl.

As a girl who was also taken care of by Ms. Maria... Keobe herself said that her contact with Ms. Maria was from sunrise to sunset for a period of time.

But we have been following Ms. Maria for more than three years!

How could he be worse than the other party? !

The more he thought about it, the more Texas felt the pressure on himself.

My eyebrows are almost connected.

Meanwhile, a maid dressed as a servant sighed and brought a plate of honey cakes...

"Hmm? You're here."

Noticing Xiao Baohan's arrival, Texas turned his head and looked at him.

But when she saw the other person's expression, she still felt a little strange.

Although Xiao Baohan usually had a bitter expression on his face as if he was being exploited by an unscrupulous boss, Texas could feel that he was now obviously in a more depressed mood, and immediately asked with concern.

"What's wrong? Did...something happen?"

“…No, I just feel a little silly.”

Xiao Baohan sighed, his voice tinged with a hint of death, his eyes dull. "When I first came here, I should have realized that the real boss doesn't need my help."

"At that time I should have honestly explained everything and then ran away."

"Not only was I scolded by that mean woman and forced to work everywhere, but I also didn't do my job at all."

"But I still foolishly thought that there would be opportunities in the future, and that I would definitely have a day to show myself."

"But what's the result? Now she's been taken advantage of and I can only follow her for the rest of my life... Sigh..."

The more I talk about my little regret, the more wronged I feel.

Not to mention that he was almost crushed to death when he possessed Maria just after coming into this world.

After everyone got to know each other better, except for the puppet directing her to do this and that every day, every time she traveled through time, she could clearly feel that Maria had done a good job, and her own work had also achieved results.

That was why she did not choose to escape directly, but stayed by Maria's side, thinking that she would do more work and Maria would complete more business, and then she could go back and take over directly.

But the result?

That damned evil woman puppet had snatched away all her authority without even saying a word!

Now, apart from the physical body she was given, she no longer had any privileges. Every time she wanted to use her abilities to help her clean, she had to apply for approval from the puppet...

This life is not as good as before!

"Ok?"

"Forget it. It was my own fault for being stupid and greedy. I'll just have to be more careful in my next life."

Seeing Texas's puzzled look in front of him, Xiao Baohan also understood that people's joys and sorrows are not the same.

He is the little pet that Maria cares about, but what am I?

I'm just a miserable wage earner...

No.

At least workers get wages and rest days, but I have to work for others without rest or wages.

Not even as good as a wage earner!

While the two were talking here, the battle between Lappland and Ceobe also came to an end over there.
