I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 373, Section 1.24: Samuro's Habits

After Mu Yegui left the instance, she saw Rong Yi standing not far away, seemingly waiting for her.

She was slightly taken aback when Rong Yi strode over and said to her with a serious expression, "Xie Er is looking for you. It's urgent. I was planning to let you stay here for a while, but it looks like we'll have to wait until next time."

"Ce'er?" They had only been separated for a short time, so why would Ce'er suddenly contact her?

“He’s waiting for you up ahead,” Rong Yi said, pointing to a distant direction.

"Thank you." Mu Yegui nodded and walked in the direction Rong Yi pointed.

Rong Yi watched Mu Yegui's departing figure quietly, then suddenly sighed softly, "So he really did refuse?"

A clear, gentle male voice reached my ears, tinged with nostalgia, "If you hadn't refused, she wouldn't be her anymore."

“Teacher.” Rong Yi turned around and saw Ji Qi standing not far away, leisurely waving a fan. His expression changed slightly.

A hint of sadness welled up in his long, beautiful, dark purple eyes. He walked up to Ji Qi, lowered his head, and whispered, his voice trembling with a sob, "Why..."

Ji Qi reached out and patted Rong Yi's head, coaxing her gently, "I didn't pick you up to eat you, but just to protect you from being eaten by others. How could she possibly touch you? You're still a child, you can't fight against others like this."

“I’m not qualified to be compared to them anyway.” Rong Yi turned her head to the side, as if she was sulking, and said in a low voice.

He was the only one who was taken in as an infant. In their eyes, he was always a child, a junior, rather than an equal companion or friend.

"But I'm so unwilling... I don't want to be treated like a child at all..." Rong Yi said with a hint of grievance in her voice, rarely acting coquettishly.

"The adult world is terrifying. It's better if you continue like this." Ji Qi raised her eyebrows slightly, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and responsibility.

The relationship between the seven and the king back then was incredibly chaotic, especially the ambiguous relationship between Sloth and the king. So, Sloth's immediate siding with the rules after the king's disappearance was something he couldn't have predicted at all.

He had inadvertently witnessed Lazy using prophecy as an excuse to have intimate contact with the king on several occasions, although it was nothing more than kissing. However, only he knew about this, and no one else knew anything about it.

Jealousy and lust see each other as imaginary enemies and keep fighting, completely ignoring the laziness that has already secretly succeeded.

Laziness has always been a schemer, far more insidious and deeply hidden than Greed, who loves money more than anything. He wouldn't have discovered this if he hadn't seen it by chance.

However, despite this, Sher remains the public enemy. Even without doing anything, he becomes the most important person in the king's heart; no matter how much others compete, they can only ever be second.

Rongyi doesn't understand these ulterior motives, nor does he need to. The king sent him to teach Rongyi so that the child could always maintain a pure mind, uncorrupted by others, so he is good as he is and doesn't need any changes.

A world that is too dark and dirty still needs a bright and pure presence, even if it cannot be touched, just having it there can bring peace of mind.

the other side.

As Mu Yegui turned the corner, she saw the familiar carriage parked there. She paused slightly, suddenly recalling the scene when she first met Sher at the Secret Mansion. Upon seeing Mu Yegui, Gil, who was driving the carriage, put one hand on his black bowler hat, jumped down, and strode over to Mu Yegui.

He stared intently at Mu Yegui for a while, then reluctantly took a few steps back and said, "This poker face, it seems, is indeed him."

Mu Yegui: "??"

Jill casually straightened her black vest, scratched her neatly combed hair, and then said, "Before opening the door, let me explain this urgent matter to you."

Mu Yegui didn't speak, only nodded. His cool, silver eyes stared at the understated yet luxurious carriage door, seemingly wondering if Xie Er was inside.

"The adult was born with very poor eyesight, and at first it was almost like being blind. Later, thanks to the medicine that the king found, his eyesight gradually improved, but the king disappeared before the last treatment."

So his eyes still had some problems and weren't completely cured. His vision was blurry and he couldn't see clearly, so he had to wear glasses. But being a proud adult, he didn't want to wear glasses in front of others.

This situation persisted for a long time, but it was only temporary; it didn't mean it was completely cured, implying a possibility of relapse. And now, it has begun.

"I am not a doctor," Mu Yegui said calmly.

“The Samuro race’s physical characteristics are different from other races, and even doctors can’t cure them,” Gil said, frowning.

"So what do you need me for?" Hearing Jill say that, she knew it wasn't Sher who wanted to see her, but Jill.

“I’ve heard that the Samuro race has a racial custom. When their injuries cannot heal on their own, they eat their own kind, and then their injuries will instantly heal,” Jill said, frowning.

To be honest, when he first heard the rumor, he found it hard to believe that the Sher were such a ferocious race. No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible to connect the Sher with the Samuro race.

"You want Sher to eat my eyes? Since you've heard this rumor, you should also know that Samuro, who was harmed by his own kind, loses his organs forever. Because they were taken by his own kind, his body will react as if they never actually left, and it won't trigger his body's own self-healing mechanism."

Mu Yegui narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone becoming increasingly calm, even cold, compared to his usual demeanor.

The idea of ​​sacrificing oneself to help others is simply incomprehensible to Mu Yegui, and can even be described as completely incomprehensible.

Regardless of whether they possess emotions, the Samuro people are inherently absolute egoists and have absolutely no intention of helping others, unless it's for stockpiling food or playing with toys.

Jill paused for a moment, then quickly said, "It's not about feeding your eyes to the adults, but blood. I've heard that Samuro's regenerative abilities accelerate after consuming the flesh and blood of their own kind, so I was wondering if that might temporarily restore the adults' sight."

“Jill, I can tell you very clearly that it’s impossible unless you completely devour the other person.”

The main storyline has officially begun, and Sher's role as the second male lead is finally about to officially start.
