Are you worthy of saving the world?

Just as Yuli was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

It was Emile, who came in with a tray containing dinner for two.

The dinner was even richer than Yuli and his friends had imagined.

Two slices of ham are served with two slices of bread spread with butter. The bread is well fermented and has the right hardness and softness.

The side dishes were cream soup and unknown fruits picked on the island, each person had a small cup of homemade wine, and even pudding as a dessert.

It seems that the village chief was not exaggerating when he said, "Under the protection of the Dragon God, the islanders live a good life."

The bread was brought to them, and Yuli and Jiaika looked at each other.

In order to be on guard against others, they quietly activated the magic of "detecting poison".

Even if he didn't do this, Yuri would still be protected by the "Dark Round Table" and would not be affected by the toxin.

Conclusion: the food is non-toxic and can be eaten safely.

Jiayika had been walking for a whole day and was very hungry. She immediately ate a lot of food without caring about her ladylike image.

Yuli also slowly ate the bread with the wine.

During the meal, Emile stood by and watched them silently.

She waited until the two of them finished their meal before leaving with the tray and leftovers.

"Please have a good rest, I will come again tomorrow morning."

"Well, thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Emile!"

"Woo, what a satisfying dinner..."

After the door was closed, Jiayi Ka sat on the bed, touching her lips and complaining happily: "Yuli is really something, he only knows how to scare people~

Everyone on the island is obviously a nice person...ah, but it's better to lock the door at night, just be on guard."

She jumped out of bed and walked towards the door.

Yuli took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, then turned his back to Jiaika and spoke.

"If my guess is correct, there is something wrong with the wine we drank just now."

"How is that possible~"

Jia Yika smiled and waved her hand: "Didn't we just use the "toxin detection"? There was no reaction, right?"

"Well, because it wasn't poison," said Yuli.

"what?"

With a click, Jiayika locked the door.

She frowned slightly, looking unhappy: "Stop talking nonsense, Yuli...

Do you have any evidence? Why are you just talking nonsense? By the way, um... isn't it a bit hot tonight?"

Yuli unbuttoned his lining vest and glanced at Jiayika's delicate face, which was slightly flushed.

"I think Mrs. Emil put aphrodisiacs in the wine at dinner, hoping that we would provide some population growth for the village."

152 The Longest Night

“…Umm…Hmm…?”

The disordered breathing sounds echoed in the quiet space.

Jiayika sat hunched on the edge of the bed, her face flushed, her legs together, and her clenched fists not knowing where to put them.

"I guess Mrs. Emil just put some kind of drug in our wine."

Yuli turned his back to Jiayika and said calmly, "When we were eating just now, she was staring at us closely, especially when we were drinking."

"Since... since you knew... well... why didn't you tell me earlier!?"

Jiayi Ka placed her hands on her rapidly heaving chest and glared resentfully at the back of the black-haired boy.

Yuri answered as if it was a matter of course: "Because she was standing by just now, I felt it was not a good idea to expose her conspiracy in public...

This is also your fault. Didn't you always tell me to get along well with everyone on the island, to avoid conflicts, and to never use force? "

The pigtailed girl bit her lip and said, "In this situation, even if there is a conflict, it doesn't matter!"

Strange, why is Yuli so calm?

Jiaika was extremely puzzled. She was clearly feeling hot all over, but Yuli also drank the problematic wine but didn't seem to be abnormal?

Could it be that……

I'm actually a very cool girl, so the effect of the drug comes faster than that of the average person! ?

Thinking of this, Jiaika's cheeks became even redder.

While she tried to remove the effects of the drug with curse-removing and healing magic, she also tried to distract herself with conversation.

"Goooo... I don't understand, why would Mrs. Emil do such a thing?"

She couldn't figure out why the other party drugged her and Yuli.

Yuli said: "Didn't I explain the reason to you before? Because the island is short of population.

Mrs. Emile seems to want us two young people to contribute to the island's population birth rate."

After hearing his explanation, Jia Yika felt extremely confused: "Huh?"

Yuli continued, “The natives of this island must offer a young girl to the Dragon God every month. Over time, there are fewer and fewer young girls in the village.

At the same time, young men could not stand the boring life here, and some of them fled from the island.

Didn't we see it when we visited just now? There are very few young people in the village, mostly elderly people and children.

I don’t know about other villages, but the population structure of this village is close to the brink of collapse.”

“That’s not what I wanted to ask… Haha…”

Jiayi Ka lowered her head and asked intermittently: "We are only staying on this island for a short time, right?

Even if something happened to us tonight, it's impossible for us to be too late, right?"

She folded her arms and did not finish her embarrassing speech.

"About this point..."

Yuli finally turned around and looked at Jiaika again.

Guwu... so handsome...

The girl with pigtails squeezed her legs together, stared at his face and thought quietly: Is Yuli so handsome?

By the way, not only is his face handsome, but his hands and feet are also long, slender and beautiful... guwu...

"Don't be in a daze, listen to me carefully." Yuli frowned.

"Yes...I'm listening!" Jiayika shouted with a red face.

Yuli said, "Do you know how old Emily is this year?"

Jiayi Ka didn't know why he mentioned the village chief's granddaughter at this time, and answered subconsciously: "Little Emily... looks about 8 or 9 years old?"

"I asked her secretly and she said she just turned 5."

Yuli said: "As for Emily's father, it seems that he disappeared shortly after his daughter was born."

Jiayi Ka's eyes widened: "How is this possible!?"

She has younger brothers and sisters of her own, so she knows the age and situation of children very well.

What are 4 or 5 year olds like?

What are 8 or 9 year olds like?

Jiayi Ka asserted that there was no way Emily could be only 5 years old.

Yuri nodded, pinching his chin as he analyzed, “That’s the problem.

I think the residents of this island probably have a growth rate far beyond that of normal humans."

"Varied……"

Jiaika opened her mouth in shock at Yuli's almost absurd guess.

"It's hard to believe, but it would explain a lot of things."

Yuli said: "Not only the growth speed, but even the gestation period may be very short... half a year, no? Within three months?

Only in this way can the people on the island maintain their population stably until now despite the excessive demand of the Dragon God to pay tribute of a young girl every month.

What an incredible ecosystem! Is this the power of the Dragon God?"

Yuri has 5000 hours of game time in "Apocalypse of the Goddess", but he has never heard of such divine power that can catalyze human growth?

"So... um... Madame Emile drugged our drinks?"

Jiayi Ka asked back while swallowing her saliva.

If Yuri's conjecture is correct...

Then if something really happened between Yuri and me tonight, I would give birth to a child on this island...

The children born would be regarded by the villagers as blessings from the Dragon God and would be forcibly kept as candidates for sacrificial offerings...

Is this what Madame Emile is trying to do?

As for the reason——

Emily's cute face instantly appeared in Jiaika's mind.

To protect my daughter...

If you want to reduce the probability of your daughter becoming a tribute to the Dragon God, you must have as many newborns in the village as possible.

This is Mrs. Emile’s conspiracy as a mother…!

Yuri nodded, stroking his chin and said, "Yes, you are indeed the most talented girl in Academy City's history, you are very smart.

Although I am also wondering, on this island, even the village chief's granddaughter has to become a tribute to the Dragon God...

However, it is precisely because he can treat his granddaughter equally that the old man can become the village chief. "
