Chapter 114: You Brat

Lin Lin, at her age, had never had anyone hold her hand and make such a bold promise.

"I’ll take you to see men!"

Although David’s original words might have emphasized "normal men," Lin Lin’s ears had automatically filtered out the unimportant words, leaving her with a feeling of sincere gratitude.

Oh, Buddha, really, you are so nice, thank you for showing me the world.

I want to see handsome guys, I really want to see human handsome guys.

There are no humans in Demon King Castle, and it’s hard to meet handsome guys when out on the streets.

The gratitude in Lin Lin’s eyes was so intense, the stars shimmering brightly in her eyes that even David, holding her hand, felt something was off.

In an instant, the knights’ gazes became heavy, and David bore a moral burden he shouldn’t have to carry.

David began to feel that what he said might be unclear, "I don’t mean in that sense; I mean a good man from a good family."

After saying this, David felt an intense shame inside; the young girl probably didn’t even know about those kinds of places, so what was he really warning her about?

To his surprise, the little girl looked even more excited, "Oh? I do like pure types that are a challenge to pursue."

Such deep words! David started to doubt if he had made a wrong choice.

However, just as he was about to back down, David caught a glimpse of the Knight Commander’s slightly furrowed brow; Norman clearly didn’t agree with David’s suggestion.

While his own frustration was bad, the pain of his opponent brought him more joy.

So, David gritted his teeth and promised Lin Lin, "There’s nothing to see here, once we get to San Marco City, I’ll take you there."

After all, they would reach San Marco City in just a day or two.

Lin Lin showed a look of disappointment; she had thought she would see something fun right away.

Her disappointment was so obvious that even Norman started to worry about how much this child cared about appearances.

Among the crowd, only the Moon Elf looked the most calm.

When Lin Lin’s gaze fell on him, Royvald pointed to his face and said, "You won’t find anyone more handsome than me."

A very calm statement.

Although it is true, Lin Lin couldn’t help but raise her hands and say, "But you lack the charm of a handsome guy."

Royvald’s sincerity made him seem a bit simple; this simplicity combined with his handsome looks created a calming presence.

For example, there are handsome guys in sports cars and handsome guys in tractors; the latter makes people worry more about how well his crops are growing.

Royvald paused for two seconds, and the Moon Elf touched his face to make sure this perfect face had no damage.

Royvald looked at Lin Lin with some confusion; it was indeed puzzling that something always successful failed.

The two looked at each other.

The Moon Elf observed the other’s dark eyes; black hair and deep eyes were rare among humans.

Royvald suddenly realized, "There is something wrong with your taste!"

The knight Norman, who had not found a handsome proof in Lin Lin, showed a look of sudden understanding.

Lin Lin couldn’t help but feel annoyed, "Why should I be told I have a problem by someone who obviously has one!"

–

The heavy snow delayed the knights’ journey, and they needed to stay in this city for another day.

The knights not only had to deal with the increasingly dangerous monsters outside the city due to a lack of food, but also needed to help the residents shovel snow in some areas for easier travel.

It was a very tiring job, and even in the snow and wind, the knights were so hot in their thin clothes that they had to loosen their collars.

"Thank you for the gift of the God of Light, Light Bomb." David waved his magic wand.

A glowing ball like a cannonball struck the ground, melting part of the snow.

Lin Lin showed a look of envy.

David noticed her little expression.

"Raise your magic wand," David said, "You should also try Light Bomb."

"But I can’t cast any magic right now," Lin Lin replied.

"It’s okay," David said, "This isn’t a battlefield, so you don’t need to achieve much, and I can help with your magic energy."

Lin Lin held out her magic wand and said, "Light Bomb!"

David: …

David, "Don’t you praise the God of Light?"

Lin Lin, "I forgot."

She really forgot how to use light-type powers and this burden.

Lin Lin added, "I praise the God of Light."

Such a half-hearted praise made David start to doubt if she was really a light-type mage, what if she was just a fire-type that looked similar to light-type?

At least the magic wand in Lin Lin’s hand really glowed for a moment, showing that the power of light responded to her.

David adjusted his energy, trying to find a frequency similar to Lin Lin’s.

The effect was not good.

Lin Lin watched the young man deep in thought, holding a magic wand, and started to doubt, "Can you really do it, or are you just bragging?"

"Shut up!" The air mage yelled in anger, "Not every mage can resonate like you and Norman!"

David knew what Norman meant to Lin Lin; when their magical energies resonated, Lin Lin’s own magic level and supply no longer mattered.

Their teamwork would multiply Norman’s power, and Norman’s strength alone was enough to support this duo.

David was not surprised that Sanctuary would care more about how to remove the collar from around Lin Lin’s neck than about Norman himself.

By that time… that would be the moment when Lin Lin would earn a high reward for traveling with the Knight Commander.

David suddenly thought of something very serious.

"Lin," David began.

Lin Lin looked up, thinking the other had realized some advanced spell.

David looked at Lin Lin with great hope, "Please don’t choose accounting."

"At least let my accounting certificate be useful," David sincerely wished.

Lin Lin, "… You might not know what I do at Demon King Castle."

Honestly, I cannot be the accountant for Light Camp.

What is this, a double-faced accountant for both sides? It sounds even scarier than a double agent.

Lin Lin imagined a scene where both sides finished fighting, came to her to claim travel expenses, and then fought again.

It was terrifying, a scene scarier than the end of the world.

Lin Lin’s expression was determined; although she was only fourteen, she understood the deadly truth of accounting, "Alright."

Speaking of accounting, Lin Lin felt a chill, "New Year’s is coming, how are your accounts this year?"

David showed a rather unpleasant expression.

–

Was sent back.

Because Lin Lin’s abilities were limited, her small body was nearly blown away by the strong wind, forcing her to return to the city.

There were not many pedestrians in the snowy city, and many shops had tightly locked their doors.

The day she arrived, it was a very lively city, but now it had become strangely quiet.

Lin Lin walked slowly along the small path, stepping on the crunching snow; the knights’ resting area was already a remote place.

The figure wearing a rabbit fur cloak silently vanished into the small path buried in heavy snow.

Lin Lin was ambushed.

She was pressed against the wall of the alley, her head resting on the cold surface.

Lin Lin felt her hands being held down from behind. The person was tall and was roughly pressing her hands, their cold breath touching Lin Lin’s ear as they assessed her danger.

Lin Lin’s head was against the wall, so she couldn’t see the person’s face, and she also couldn’t smell anything from them. The person did not speak.

Quite a cautious guy.

Lin Lin struggled a bit, but the person completely stopped her.

The person seemed to relax because Lin Lin was helpless. They even skillfully stole Lin Lin’s coin purse and the potion Caligo had given her.

After feeling Lin Lin’s empty coin purse, Lin Lin heard a sneer from the person, who probably thought her money was too little.

Until that guy discovered Lin Lin’s magic wand hidden under her cloak.

The person gently touched her magic wand from under the cloak. It was a light touch, and this time it was not "stealing" but "confirming."

Finally, Lin Lin heard a familiar voice, "Lin?"

But this voice sounded a bit confused and uncertain.

As her arm was released, Lin Lin turned around and saw the Dark Elf standing behind her.

Felix looked worse than she did; thick bandages wrapped around his neck and waist, and dark blood still seeped through the bandages. The Dark Elf’s long eyelashes were lowered, and he was happy about their meeting.

Lin Lin didn’t seem so happy anymore.

Lin Lin did not feel a noble concern for Felix’s injury; instead, she punched him in the bandaged waist, "Are you robbing me?!"

Felix gritted his teeth and took the punch, then embraced Lin Lin as she swung her fist, "How did you end up like this? You’re even shorter."

A flash of white light raced through her mind, and Lin Lin’s combination punch was skillfully thrown.

This time, Felix skillfully dodged, "I came to find you; Your Majesty the Demon King is very worried about you…"

The Dark Elf suddenly froze, his silver eyes widening a little, revealing a look of surprise.

Felix saw the golden collar glowing with light-type power beneath Lin Lin’s cloak.

Even though Felix did not know how it got there, it did not stop him from guessing its purpose.

Some Dark Elves use items like collars to punish disobedient followers.

"No wonder you are with the Knights! They forced you!" Felix reached out and touched Lin Lin’s shoulder, "Did that Knight Commander do it? Or was it the Moon Elf? They both look really disgusting!"

Compared to Felix’s series of questions, Lin Lin looked much calmer and more composed.

She calmly took back her pouch from the inside of the Dark Elf’s cloak and opened Felix’s pouch to pour a few gold coins for herself.

Meanwhile, Lin Lin shoved the healing potion Caligo gave her into the Dark Elf’s mouth with an authoritative tone, "Drink!"

Felix obediently opened his mouth, held the cool potion bottle, tilted his head, and swallowed.
