Chapter 1561 The story of a certain border boy (Part 2)

"...Liteuk, Liteuk?"

"Wow."

It wasn't until a hand stretched out from the side that Li Te came back to his senses. He hurriedly stepped back and looked to the side. He saw Lilian with her hands on her hips, puffing up her cheeks, looking at him with an angry look. .

"What are you doing? You are always distracted these days."

"No, maybe...it's just that the training is a little too tiring."

Leeteuk turned his head and spoke in a low voice.

"That's it."

After hearing Lee Teuk's answer, Lilian's expression softened a little.

"I also know that Leeteuk is practicing very hard right now, but you also need to take a good rest. It would be bad if you injure yourself if you exercise too much... Ah, but if you get injured, your lovely My childhood sweetheart will definitely take care of you, maybe that’s not a bad idea?”

"...Mina... doesn't have time to take care of me now."

"Huh? Ah, by the way, the brave man is back. I didn't expect that he actually likes our little village."

"Ah, um..."

Liteuk turned his head and pretended to be looking at the surrounding scenery while silently clenching his fists. What he heard that night still echoes in Li Teuk's mind to this day. Although after that, when he opened his eyes and woke up again, he was already in his bed at home. He asked his sister and said that he came back yesterday, and then went to bed.

So, was that a nightmare? Or is it true?

Li Teuk doesn’t know, but...

At this moment, Lilian also became emotional.

"Speaking of which, Mina has become more beautiful..."

"Hey? Is there any?"

"Didn't you notice? Really, that's why I say man... I've noticed it a long time ago. Unlike Mina before, she now has a... How should I say, very feminine Feeling? Is it really because of growing up after reaching age? "

"So, it seems that Ailian also said..."

Liteuk forced himself to retract his thoughts and responded casually. He did remember that his sister said that Mina-sister had become more beautiful, but in Liteuk's view, Mina was still Mina, and she would greet him every morning when he went out. , that enthusiastic and cheerful girl will also prepare dinner for them.

"However, I still think it's better if she doesn't change."

"Hey? What's wrong? Are you jealous?"

Seeing Lee Teuk's awkward look, Lilian laughed, came over and nudged Lee Teuk with her elbow.

"No, I just think that no matter what, Mina will still be Mina."

"Well, let's just treat it like this."

Hearing Li Te's answer, Lilian had a look of disappointment in her eyes, but soon she smiled again.

"By the way, Liteuk, have you decided what you want to do in the future?"

"after?"

"Yes, I have decided that I want to join the Brave Army!"

As she spoke, Lillian clenched her right hand hard.

"You also listened to the speech of the brave man. I also hope to fight for mankind! Join the brave army and destroy the demons! This is my goal!"

After the crisis in the Principality of Logavia was resolved, Duanmu Huai returned to this border village. After all, Logavia is a foreign country, and it is impossible for him to stay there forever with his army. Moreover, Duanmu Huai also wanted to see how many soldiers would be willing to stay and how many would be willing to join after this speech. So he stayed here for the time being, and left the work of organizing and recruiting troops to the old general.

"Destroying the demons... this kind of thing is impossible."

"Really, don't keep saying such frustrating things. How do you know you can't do it if you haven't done it?"

"But if we want to eliminate the demons, wouldn't we have to invade their territory and kill them? Although they look different from us, the demons also have old people and children, right? This..."

"So what?"

However, before Li Teuk could finish his words, he was angrily interrupted by Lilian.

"When the Demon King's Army invaded us, they didn't say they wouldn't attack the elderly and children. Didn't you see the faces of those who were attacked by the Demon King's Army and had their homes destroyed? Didn't you hear their cries?"

"I………"

Faced with Lilian's question, Leeteuk was speechless for a moment. When the Demon King's army launched an attack on the Kingdom of Summoning, many people had fled here and passed by. At that time, Leeteuk also saw the miserable appearance of those refugees. Their pain, sadness and anger. And it was obvious that Lillian felt the same way.

"I will never let this kind of tragedy happen again in our village! If I want to protect everyone in the village, I must completely eliminate the demons! In short, I have decided!"

"…………"

"Leet."

Turning around, Lillian stared at Liteuk.

"I hope you will join the Brave Army with me. Just staying here will not realize our ideals at all. My brain is not very good, but I also want to understand that if you just defeat the Demon King, it will have no effect at all. The brave men in history They have also defeated the devil more than once. At that time, the devil The army did retreat. But after that, they will come back again. Maybe the brave man can indeed destroy the devil, and we can get a moment of peace. But what about my children, my grandsons, or my grandson's grandsons? Don’t we still have to face the threat of the Demon King’s army?”

"………I……"

"I believe you can do it, Li Teuk."

Looking at Leeteuk, Lillian reached out her hand and took Leeteuk's clenched fist.

"You work hard and are brave. I believe you will be able to pass the test and join the Brave Army!"

"...I'll think about it..."

Facing Lilian's candid gaze, Lite seemed a little embarrassed. He was silent for a moment, and finally spoke in a low voice. And after hearing Li Te's answer, Lilian also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then I'll go back first. Goodbye, Li Te."

After saying this, Lilian waved to Li Te, then turned and left. Lite watched her swaying twin ponytails disappear at the other end of the road, then withdrew his gaze and walked towards his home.

"I'm back."

Lite pushed open the door and said, Normally, Mina would have already prepared dinner at this time and was waiting for him to eat dinner with his sister. But now, it's deserted here, with no one around.

By the way, Ailian also went to the hotel to help...

Because of the arrival of the Brave Lord, there were a lot more people here. Mina had to serve the Brave Lord, so she couldn't stay away. So Ailian volunteered and went to the hotel to help.

Li Teuk took out the dry bread in the kitchen and ate it silently. He didn't know how long it took, but when he came to his senses, night had fallen outside. And the whole room was also dark. Leeteuk stood up, lit the oil lamp, and then looked at the time.

It's almost time to pick up Ailian.

Although the hotel is not far from his home, as an elder brother, he cannot let his sister walk alone at night.

Thinking of this, Leeteuk put down the half-eaten dry bread in his hand, stood up and walked out of the house.

It was already late at night, and the guests in the hotel had almost dispersed. After all, the brave man lived in the hotel, so the others only came here to drink and had no way to stay in the hotel. Lite walked through the street and then came to the front of the hotel. At this moment, only the wine bar on the first floor of the hotel was still lit, and the rest of the hotel was dark.

Liteuk raised his head and looked up, and then——his eyes widened.

I saw a vague figure lying on the window on the second floor. Because the light was too blurry, Lee Teuk couldn't see clearly what it was, but he could vaguely see that it should be a person. Under Lee Teuk's gaze, the white figure was pressing his hand against the window, shaking back and forth.

"——!——!"

In the silent night, a faint sound blew into Li Te's ears with the night wind. The sound seemed familiar, but when Li Te tried to capture the sound, it disappeared with the wind...

"Brother?" The petite figure walked out of the hotel door, and Ailian looked at Li Teuk curiously.

"What are you doing here?"

"Ailian, are you okay?"

Seeing his lovely sister, Li Teuk felt relieved, which he had been feeling for no reason.

"Is everything okay? It's just that there are too many guests and it's really too much to bear. If sister Mina hadn't helped me, I might have been too tired to move. I might have had to ask my brother to carry me back."

"Is that so...where's Mina?"

"Huh? Sister Mina should have gone back to her room to rest."

"so………"

Having said this, Li Teuk raised his head again and looked at the window on the second floor. However, it was already dark there at the moment, and the figure just now was completely invisible.

Could it be that I am dazzled?

"elder brother?"

"nothing."

Liteuk looked away and looked at his sister.

"Let's go back."

"Um!"

The next day, Lite went to the garrison to report as usual, but he never saw Lilian. Just when Leeteuk was about to look for Lilian during his lunch break, he saw two soldiers from the garrison walking towards them while chatting.

"Oh, really, should I say that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers? Or are they bold? Lilian actually dares to challenge the brave man."

"It should be said that young people are young and energetic. If nothing else, I don't think I can win the Light Hero standing in front of me like that."

"Lillian didn't say she wanted to defeat the Brave Lord. She just wanted to show her strength to the Brave Lord. But I agree, no matter what, it is really courageous to directly challenge the Brave Lord."

Hearing the conversation between the two, Li Teuk hurriedly quickened his pace and came to them.

"What are you talking about? Where did Lillian go?"

"Oh, Liteuk, it's you."

Seeing Li Teuk, a guard greeted him.

"Lillian went to sign up to join the Brave Army, and the Brave Lord happened to be there for review. Oh, I didn't expect Lilian to be so naive that she actually hoped to compete with the Brave Lord. I have to say that this kind of courage is also rare."

"Yes, the average man is so frightened that he can't even walk when he sees the brave man. Like me, just looking at the brave man, I don't even have the courage to draw my sword! Not only is the brave man's appearance terrifying, What's more important is the murderous aura emanating from him, which is much more terrifying than the demons."

"Lillian went to join the Brave Army?"

Hearing this, Liteuk was stunned for a moment.

"Where is she?"

"Let's practice martial arts. Everyone who signed up is there."

Hearing this, Lite hurriedly turned around and ran towards the martial arts arena, and watching him running away, the two guards also laughed.

"Hey, it's great to be young."

"Yes, I hope Lite can understand Lilian's thoughts. We have already seen it."

The martial arts field is located at the checkpoint outside the village. During the previous attack by the Demon King's army, part of the checkpoint was damaged, but it was not serious. Now this place has also become the recruiting place for the brave army. However, when Leeteuk ran to the martial arts field panting, except for the people queuing up to sign up, he did not see Lilian or the brave man.

"Hey, isn't this Lite? Are you going to sign up too?"

There were villagers watching the fun nearby who knew Lite and also said hello to him.

"I'm here to see Lillian, is she here?"

"Lillian? Oh, I remember she passed the test, and then...well, maybe she went back."

"Yes, that's right, thank you."

After passing the test and joining the Brave Army, Lilian would definitely tell her family. Thinking of this, Lite turned around and ran back to the village again, and found Lilian's home.

However……

"Hey? Lilian didn't come back, what? You said she passed the test of the Brave Army? Is the child going to join the Brave Army? This is too dangerous..."

"Then uncle, do you know where she went?"

"How do I know this? You guys are always together, so you should know that child better than I do."

That's what he said, but Lite searched many places after that, but he couldn't find Lilian.

Where did she go?

Until sunset, Li Te failed to find Lilian, so he had to return to the martial arts field again. At this moment, there was no one here, and even the villagers who were watching the excitement were gone. Liteuk just walked around aimlessly, and then he walked into a small forest near the martial arts field.

If he remembered correctly, there was a creek nearby, and Lite planned to go there to drink water and take a rest.

"——!"

However, just as Lite was about to reach the creek, he suddenly heard a faint cry from not far away. Hearing this voice, Lite trembled hurriedly and rushed over.

That's Lillian's voice!

After walking through the woods and coming to the creek, Lite finally found Lilian here.

However... Lilian at this moment was completely different from what Leeteuk had imagined.

"——Ugh——!"

Lilian's hands were forward, supporting the big tree in front of her. This tree was also very familiar to Li Te. When he first joined the police force, he had competed in height with Lilian here. On that tree, you can still see the traces left by two people comparing their heights.

However, at this moment, Lilian pressed her hands on the big tree, and her iconic twin ponytails couldn't help but fly up and down. In the shadow of the woods behind her, a tall shadow could be vaguely seen connected to Lillian.

"Master Brave——! I can't do it anymore——!"

Lilian shook her head and kept pleading.

"How's it going? You were the one who said you wanted to experience my strength. You were confident before, but now you can't hold it anymore?"

"Yes, yes! The brave man is very strong, really powerful. No one can beat you! I am not your opponent at all! I am not as good as you at all -!"

"Very good, then you can experience this power firsthand!"

"Yes-! I lost-! I completely lost to you! I am no match for the brave man at all!"

It was completely unlike the voice coming from the strong Lilian's mouth. It echoed in the silent woods and was swallowed up by the sound of streams and water.

Then, Lilian was seen leaning against the big tree, slowly slumping to the ground.

"This way... you can't win at all..."

Lilian half-closed her eyes and murmured to herself.

And her words did not reach the ears of the third party...
