Chapter 492 Rem's Self-Defense Weapon

Shichen didn't explain to Remdo and directly took her back to Aram Village.

As expected, when they came back, Petra and the other children were gone.

The villagers hadn't realized that something was wrong, and Shi Chen was too lazy to explain and make them worry, so he just asked where the children had gone.

After getting the information, he pulled Rem to chase after him.

"Shichen, what's going on?" Rem was pulled by him and couldn't struggle free, so he could only ask while following him.

"To make a long story short, an evil magician appeared in the village, and he was a sorcerer. He hid in the village with the purpose of hindering the king's election. If we don't deal with him, the whole village will be ruined."

"Really?" Rem was surprised.

"I won't lie to you." Shi Chen turned around and looked into her eyes seriously.

"You...how did you know?" Rem lowered his eyebrows. For some reason, he didn't dare to look him in the eye. He had an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Wouldn't you lie to her...

"Do you remember that puppy? It's a magical beast. The sorcerer uses it to contact the target and cast a spell."

In order to cast a curse, the sorcerer must first come into contact with the target. If the spell is to be used for assassination, such conditions are very dangerous.

But it is because of the authenticity of the spell that people are willing to take such risks.

"That puppy is a monster? How is it possible... Then you just stopped it from biting me, right...?" Rem reacted and looked at him in a daze.

"Yeah, didn't I say it? You are mine, how could I let you be cursed." Shichen smiled at Rem.

In fact, he could also let Rem be bitten by the curse first, and then help her to remove it. With the purifying power of the holy fire, the curse would be useless.

It can also improve Rem's favorability.

But that would be pointless, he didn't like doing this kind of thing to gain favor.

He doesn't need such crooked methods, he can break through Rem's psychological defenses little by little.

"..." Rem faced Shichen's smile, his heart was touched and he was slightly absent-minded.

She could naturally see that Shi Chen was not lying and was speaking very sincerely, which meant that she was needed.

Some people like her more than her sister.

The group of children were not in the village, so there was only one place, the end of the village - the direction leading to the forest wall.

Shichen took Rem and walked straight towards the forest.

A tall wooden fence surrounded the village. After crossing the fence adjacent to the forest, we walked through the trees and continued deeper into the village.

At this time, Rem frowned and raised his head.

"what happened?"

"The barrier is broken..."

"Boundary?"

It was a barrier of a different concept, and Shi Chen didn’t notice any difference, but the crystals embedded in the trees seemed to have lost their luster.

In this world, a lot of magic is performed with magic crystals as the medium. These crystals should be the medium for the barrier set up in the forest.

"Oh no..." Rem's expression was uncertain.

"Is it because the barrier is broken?"

"Well, if the barrier is broken, the monsters will cross the boundary and attack humans. The forest is the habitat of the monsters."

Warcraft is an alien enemy of humanity that possesses magical powers. It is said that they are creatures created by witches.

"Let's keep moving forward." Shi Chen said.

"Wait! The forest is the territory of monsters, it will be very dangerous." Rem hurriedly grabbed Shichen.

"Worried about me?" Shi Chen turned around and looked at her with a smile.

"I've been waiting for this moment..."

"Don't worry, I'm very strong." Shi Chen comforted.

"No matter how strong you are..."

"Believe me, I'm really strong." Shi Chen interrupted her with his smile unchanged.

"..."

Shichen's tone was full of confidence, which made Rem want to believe him, and he had said before that he would not lie to her.

"Is it really okay?"

"Just trust me. The barrier is broken, which means the sorcerer is here. We can't let him go... Besides, Petra and the others are in there too."

"I'm not sure yet..."

"Then we have to rescue them."

"Why? Shichen, didn't you just meet them? Why would you take risks for them? This has nothing to do with you, right?" Rem couldn't help but ask.

"How can it have nothing to do with me?" Shi Chen laughed.

"what?"

"The sorcerer is obviously planning to attack this village. He is interfering with Emilia's royal election. I can't let him go."

"Because of Lady Emilia?"

"Not only that, Petra and the others are so cute, how could I not save them... Most importantly, I just want to look cool in front of you."

"Showing off?" Rem looked at him blankly.

"Yeah, saving the village and destroying the evil sorcerer, isn't that like being a hero?"

"hero......"

"Of course, I'm not acting without thinking. The premise of all this is because I am confident in my own abilities."

"Confidence in strength..."

Rem closed his eyes, then opened them again, his eyes firm: "I know, I believe you."

"That's right~ I will protect you. No one can hurt you while I'm here." Shi Chen reached out and touched her head.

"It's not clear who will protect whom."

"Ok?"

Shichen noticed that the corners of Rem's mouth were raised, no longer a poker face, but a lively look.

"Shichen, you are of the same status as Lord Rozwaal, I must protect you."

"Protect me... I'll leave it to you~"

"Well, leave it to me."

Rem seemed to be excited, and then, a chain suddenly appeared in her hand, and at the end of the chain was an iron ball.

The crisp metallic sound of the iron chain reached Shichen's ears.

Although he knew that Rem had this meteor hammer weapon, he felt strange when he saw it with his own eyes.

A cute girl in maid clothes, holding a meteor hammer?

"Rem, what is this?"

"For self-protection." Rem walked to Shichen's side.

"Protection? Wait, you said this is..."

"It's for self-defense. Let's go." Rem suddenly became tough and took the initiative to walk into the forest.

Shi Chen looked at her petite figure, holding the iron ball for protection in one hand, with a vigilant attitude all over her body. He shook his head and laughed, then followed her.

Even in the afternoon, the forest was densely covered with trees, it was pitch black all around, and there was no road.

Shichen could sense the faint presence of Petra and the others, but Rem seemed to want to take the lead at this moment, and the direction she was going was not wrong, so he let her take the lead.

Not long after walking, Rem stopped and looked around, gently twitching her white nose.

Rem has a very keen sense of smell, which she relies on to search the forest.

"Did you find anything?" Shi Chen asked in a low voice close to her ear.

Rem shrank his neck visibly, but he didn't think much about it and remained alert: "There is the smell of a living creature nearby."

"Is it over there?" Shichen followed Rem's line of sight and looked to the left.

"Yes." Rem secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The breath that just came into her ear made her a little uncomfortable.

"Is it Petra and the others?" Shichen turned his head again, and his breath hit her white ears.

"...I don't know, but it's not the smell of a wild animal." Rem pretended to be calm.

"Then let's go over and take a look." Shichen took Rem's empty hand and walked to the left.

Rem's attention was focused on her ears, and she didn't pay attention to Shichen holding her hand and letting him lead her away.

The two walked slowly through the bushes, and their view suddenly opened up. In front of them, the forest parted and there was a slightly higher hill.

And at the foot of the hillock, the children were lying unconscious on the green ground.

"It's really Petra and the others!"

The two came to the children, and Rem immediately checked their physical condition.

Although the children were unconscious, they still had body temperature and were breathing.

"They seem to be fine, but..."

Rem looked at Shichen with a serious expression: "Although they are still breathing, they are very weak. If they continue like this..."

"It should be a weakening curse." Shichen explained.
