The Brave Girl and the Great Demon King

Chapter 56 071: The hidden past and the self-proclaimed brother
Before the townspeople had discussed how to deal with Alicia, another major event happened in the town, a major event that could change Leander's life from now on.

In the morning light of the small town, a group of knights appeared at the entrance of the small town, stepping on the crystal dew and walking darkly into the town. The solemn and heavy appearance was like a black cloud, dark and ominous for a while.

When he woke up early in the morning, Liandell heard movement outside, and when he looked out of the window of his house, he discovered this strange cavalry team. It was big news, so Liandel yelled out of curiosity: "Mom, mom, there are a lot of strange people here!"

There are only two people in Leander's family, he and his mother Elena, who is a gentle and beautiful young woman with long pale blond hair very similar to Leander's, which is used to be tied loosely with a silk scarf , that faint color, as if pouring down on her slender and frail body like moonlight, often makes people feel a kind of refined beauty that does not belong to the world.

Hearing her son's surprised voice, Elena, who was preparing breakfast, also looked around, as if seeing something extraordinary, the smile on that beautiful face suddenly disappeared, and she walked around in a hurry After a few laps, Leander was suddenly pushed out of the back alley.

"Li'an, I didn't mean to meet your friend, hurry up and don't let people wait for you." Elena said with a forced smile.

At that time, the young Leander was still unable to distinguish the panic hidden behind the smile of the adults. This child has been thinking about the promise to go to the forest pond with Alicia to play, but expressed dissatisfaction with his mother's behavior of pushing him out of the house in a hurry. , "Mom, it's still early, I won't be late, I haven't had breakfast yet..."

There was a pause in the room, and soon I saw that the small basket that Leander usually used to hold mushrooms and wild vegetables was brought out, and there was a large piece of uncut bread in it, as well as Elena's earnest instructions, " Be careful not to run around in the town, you are allowed to go home later today."

Those were the last words Leander heard. The child stood in the alley by the back door in doubt for a while, and seemed to hear a sound of neat horseshoes approaching. He could vaguely see the cavalrymen who were still at the entrance of the town just now walking on the street in front of his house. In the house on the other side, Nick from the next door was poking his head out of the window and making faces at this side, which made Lian Del jumped off the pile of debris in a bad mood, wrinkled his nose and ran out of the town.

This was the last impression that that peaceful town left on Leander. Not long after that, this peaceful life was lost in a sea of ​​red flames. The soaring flames reflected half of the sky red, and the scorching smoke melted the snow in the forest. , In the dazzling red here, the black knight came quietly, and the little Nick next door acted as a guide, his eyes reddened because of hatred seemed to be burning with the same flame.

"It's right here, the person you want to catch is here, let me go, let us go!" The young voice echoed the soaring flames, bringing a strong smell of killing.

That should be the darkest part in Leander's childhood memory, but when the young man narrated, he was able to maintain an extraordinarily calm and flat manner, as if an outsider was narrating an irrelevant matter, so Alicia felt a little awkward for no reason, and adjusted her posture unconsciously.

"What happened next?" Alicia asked rarely. She actually didn't know what she wanted to know, but it was just what Leander wanted to say, so she asked.

"The knight leveled the town and took us back. Later, this group of people encountered human traffickers and the entire army was wiped out. Then we were caught in the secret base for blood test." Suddenly, Leander It seems that I have no interest in talking, so I said it very simply.

"Why?" Alicia asked, frowning.

"Which one is the reason?" Liandel asked back, explaining with a slow smile, "Tuzhen is because of me. I found out later that I was an illegitimate child of a noble family. My mother took me to escape. The nobleman felt ashamed. It is necessary to kill all the people who know and see; the human traffickers are because of you, which experimental base is deep in the forest, after you escaped from there, the human traffickers chased them out, and saw that we were captured together by the Knights I thought it was their secret that was exposed, so I made up my mind to kill and released the monsters cultivated in the base."

"Oh, what about Nick?" Alicia asked.

"Dead, in the base, was discarded after the experiment failed, I dragged him into the cage, and fed the monster." Leander said lightly.

Alicia felt that she didn't understand, she held her head and thought for a long time, and said slowly: "Blanco's book said that the impact of childhood trauma is indelible, and the worldview of accumulated pain—on Abnormal personality and the formation of antisocial tendencies."

Leander suddenly felt a twitch at the corner of his mouth, looked at it wordlessly, and said with difficulty: "Alicia, I think that's scolding yourself."

Alicia nodded and thought for a while, then said, "It's okay, I'll try to kill people within the scope of the law."

"That's not what I meant... Forget it." Leander held his forehead and said weakly. During the two years of separation, this girl who lost her memory gradually formed a new personality and concept, which made him feel At the same time, it is fresh, but at the same time, it is a mixed feeling of loss. I often feel like I don’t know how to face this childhood friend who grew up together through joys and sorrows.

However, the unspeakable resentment just now because of recalling the past, fell into this kind of speechlessness, and gradually faded away, which made Leander's mood slowly improve, and he rubbed the pale golden hair on his forehead. Liu Hai admitted, "That incident was designed by me. I asked you about the situation of the base. I deliberately brought that team of knights there to make it look like an attack, and then the two parties really broke out. There was a conflict, and between being taken away by the knights and falling to the test base, I chose the latter."

"Because you want to avenge your mother?" Alicia suggested earnestly, "It's not good to do this. There is no right to self-defense. It is an illegal act. It should be done quietly and without publicity."

As soon as Alicia said this, she heard a "puchi" laugh from above their heads, and then there was a rustling sound of branches and leaves, and a person jumped down in response, and landed lightly on the tree trunk. Raise your hand and say, "Yo, little Ellie, I haven't seen you in years, how are you?"

It was a young man in his twenties, with a red robe, short knives crossed on the back of his waist, black eyes with curved smiles, long black hair braided into small braids, and a face somewhat similar to Alicia's. On the sky, it seems to be a clear and refreshing autumn sky, with a bright and bright smile, and the corner of the mouth curved in a good-natured way: "Oh, little Ellie doesn't remember, I'm your brother, Brother Reina, Reina... Gainsborough, don't forget next time, or I'll be angry."

From the moment the man who claimed to be his elder brother showed up, Alicia felt a sense of crisis, like a nameless monster, dormant, grinding its claws lazily, as if about to be targeted, as if about to Being killed, the dangerous feeling made Alicia shudder, all the cells in her body were screaming in fear, she unconsciously grasped the holy sword, because of such force, even the whole palm was sweating , wet, sweating profusely, but could not grasp the handle of the weapon.

Hearing Reina's words, Alicia involuntarily looked towards Leander. She has never been able to recover the past memory, but it is not as clear as Leander, but the latter just shook his head slightly, indicating that he did not know the past. Knowing this, Alicia couldn't help being stunned, took a deep breath slowly, and said, "I don't remember... What's the matter with you?"

"Oh, it's hard to say. As a brother, do you need any reason to come to visit my dear sister?" The young man who called himself Reina tilted his head and showed a very cute expression. Pulling out the dagger, he slashed directly at the holy sword that Alicia raised in time. Amidst the clanging metal impact, there was a faint crackling sound of electric current, shining through countless tiny electric sparks.

The thick tree trunks planted in the courtyard of the Bright Branch that can only be surrounded by a few people squeaked amidst the impact, and the thickest tree trunk broke and hit the ground, and it fell down along with the trunk. Alicia, who was paralyzed by the electric shock and temporarily lost her mobility, slammed on the grass in a daze, spitting out a mouthful of blood silently.

"Very weak, very weak." Reina sighed, followed closely, stretched out his hand and pressed Alicia's forehead down a little, and threw her whole head into the soil.

"Alicia!" Leander's complexion changed, he jumped onto another tree trunk, pressed one hand on the trunk, just about to activate the magic power, but suddenly stopped again.

A sword appeared lightly and soundlessly in the air, and before Liandel didn't react at all, it was easily placed on his shoulder, and then a low voice said calmly: "Reiner doesn't like others to meddle in his affairs, so Don't move, otherwise it will be regarded as hostile, and the combat mode will be activated."

"What do you want?" Leander carefully and slowly withdrew his hand. This smart young man has already estimated the information of the enemy and us in an instant. Neither he nor Alicia has any chance of winning. As long as they are willing, the two Unfamiliar humans can kill them almost instantly.
