Dawn was like a sword that split open the gloomy curtain. Egbert walked towards the small building that had left a particularly deep impression on his memory, with undisguised joy in his heart, walking on the dew.

After careful calculation, he had not seen Sully for 71 days, 12 hours and 38 minutes.

The trouble in Jisuo Town delayed his progress, and the battle with the ninth-level monster was prolonged.

Those people from the Dark Church were always testing whether he, the former Son of Light, was still on the same side as the Church of Light. They kept looking at him with suspicion, which really made Egbert so irritated that he wanted to kill those people directly.

Everything is tedious and disgusting.

But as long as he still remembered that Lord Sully also hated those things, but still wanted to change them, so that all the disgusting things would become less disgusting and even acceptable, Egbert would not be so annoyed.

But after careful consideration, I still have to get in close contact with Sully.

Only by sucking Lord Sully from a close distance, just like humans like to hold a kitten and suck its belly, can Egbert recover the energy he has consumed in the past few days.

Yes, that's it.

The golden key was inserted into the keyhole. The sight of them before he even entered the room made Egbert guess in his mind that Roy and Lan Zhe had discovered his return.

A thought suddenly popped up in his heart: these two people have been staying in the peaceful Sadina City recently. I wonder if their strength has improved. When Egbert bent down slightly and placed the gift brought from Ziso Town on the cabinet at the entrance, he couldn't help but imagine Sully's happy expression when he saw the gift...

After a moment of rapid breathing, Egbert looked up at the stairs leading to the second floor...

In an instant, he was so frightened by the bird standing on the painting at the side of the stairs that he took out his big sword and stabbed it without thinking.

"I'll protect you at all costs, even if it means everything I have!"

At that moment, a lot of conspiracy theories emerged in the mind of the former Son of Light.

The plan to surround and kill the level nine monster did not go as planned. However, after severely injuring it, no one thought that it would come back again in a short time.

Monsters are different from humans in their development in all walks of life.

Compared to humans, who are good at alchemy or medicine making, monsters mostly choose to devour their own kind or humans to repair their injuries, or directly eat some raw materials for healing wounds.

In terms of practical benefits, the recovery speed is not worth mentioning.

However……

The stinking crow that was standing on the painting and staring at him with eyes without any white in its eyes, not only had its strength returned to its peak, it even uttered a short "Gaa" without any extra meaning.

While veins on Egbert's forehead were throbbing wildly, he grasped the greatsword condensed from light elements in his hand without hesitation and rushed straight towards the crow.

Unlike Egbert, who was still worried about the possibility of waking up Sully, the black crow launched a mental attack on Egbert with its eyes without any hesitation.

If it was in the Monster Forest, in the town of Ziso, or even directly in the city of Sadina, Egbert would attack without hesitation.

But this stinking crow stayed in his home! His base camp!

And the private area of ​​the person he cares about!

"Gah." The crow did not hide its sarcasm. "Humans are really strange creatures."

"You were able to find me here. It seems I underestimated your tracking ability."

“But now, that’s it.”

The crow's hoarse voice expressed its one-sided understanding.

"I don't think you alone can defeat me in my prime and after I have fully recovered from all my injuries."

Compared to Egbert, whose pupils trembled and he launched an attack the moment he saw him, Crow actually had no intention of fighting Egbert in this small building.

There are two reasons. Lan Zhe, who gave him the herbs to heal his wounds, is a dark element owner. Dark elements have always been an excluded part of the human community. If Lan Zhe is exposed...

What's more, the child is somewhat related to Naan.

Another point is Sully.

The child that made Crow feel strange.

Before he was confirmed to be a crow, he was mistaken for another bird that was even more disliked by humans.

But even so, the child still reached out to him.

Then he returned to the small building and bandaged his wounds.

But before that, the child had never confirmed from anyone whether he was a crow or a blackbird, which he hated.

When Lan Zhe, who also possessed the dark element, pointed out his identity as a crow, Du Ya clearly saw the look of relief on Su Li's face.

He seemed to be completely oblivious to the myth of disaster that humans had bestowed upon crows.

Compared to the jet attack of the crow, which can be easily blocked by the elements, it is clear that what the crow represents is more terrifying to humans...

But the reality is that Suli even wished him to get better faster.

This human cub is so strange.

At one point, even the ninth-level monster couldn't help but question whether it had seen too few humans before.

Before fully understanding the other party, Du Ya was unwilling to let the fight between himself and Egbert affect the child who did not exist in the element at all.

The child would just be sent to hell by a random scratch during his fight with the wielder of the element of light.

Egbert had no idea that Rook could think of so much in such a short time.

He felt only mockery, sheer mockery.

"Are you threatening me?"

As the former Son of Light who swore that he would never let Sully come to harm before his death, Egbert would never allow any danger to come to Sully.

But at this moment, the stinking crow, which represented the source of danger, happened to hit the biggest pain point in his heart.

At this point, Egbert had given up on the possibility that continuing to evade would wake Sully.

The most important thing now is to get rid of the enemy, get Suli out of danger!

Egbert rushed over.

Crow: I have never seen such a person who is so ignorant of current affairs and has no idea what to do.

In order to avoid affecting Suli who was sleeping upstairs, Du Ya dodged the attack and used the dark element to swing a black elemental blade.

"Go out and fight."

"The space is too small, go out and fight."

At the same time, Egbert and Rook spoke in unison.

However, the entrance door of the small building is not a large gate like a manor, but a small door that can only accommodate two people at most.

So in order to avoid sneak attacks on each other, they attacked each other at the same time at the door.

Raven & Egbert: As long as we kill him early, we can avoid the possibility of Sully being affected!

Same idea, same decision.

The result was that the gate, which had lasted for who knows how many years and was still standing, collapsed with a bang.

The commotion had become so serious that even those who believed that it was normal for Egbert to go crazy could no longer treat it as normal.

Roy jumped down from the second-floor window and roared at the two creatures standing by the door, staring at each other with a fierce look: "If you dare to make trouble again, you will all die!"

Lan Zhe also had a gloomy look on his face, and walked step by step from the staircase on the second floor towards the two people outside.

In order to prevent Egbert from going crazy after not seeing Sully for a long time, Lan Zhe has been living in the guest room of the small building during this period instead of returning to his own house next door.

However, it turns out that Egbert is really going crazy.

"You, no, you guys want to die? Idiots."

"It's bedtime, especially for you, Egbert!"

"Did you forget that Sully's vacation is over and we have to resume normal classes this morning?"

"For a child, not being able to sleep properly will affect not only their studies, but also their growth. Now, tell me..."

Lan Zhe said word by word: "Do you want to die?"

Egbert shuddered and decisively retorted, "You are the idiot. You have been taking care of Master Sully from a close distance, but you didn't notice that such a big danger suddenly appeared beside him."

"This is a ninth-level monster. Do you know what a ninth-level monster is? With the simplest attack, Lord Suli may not leave any trace in this world."

Egbert's eyes gradually turned red as he stared at the rook.

The former Son of Light could not accept the possibility of that happening.

Lan Zhe was stunned for a moment and then turned to look at Du Ya.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and in just a few seconds, he discovered that the ordinary bird that Suli had casually rescued actually had something special...

Feelings of regret and fear flashed through his mind. Lanzhe, who originally just wanted to hit Egbert with a hammer, immediately surrounded the crow with Roy.

"A ninth-level monster already has the ability to communicate with humans. Explain what you want to do?" Roy stared at the crow in front of them with a dangerous look.

If there is no reasonable explanation, Roy will immediately join forces with Lan Zhe and Egbert to take action against the crow.

And the crow: …………

“Gah.”

Just a casual call can slightly ease the awkwardness.

"I have no intention of harming the humans who live in this building."

This refers specifically to Suli.

There were too many mysteries about the child that he could not figure out, and before getting the answers, Crow would not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

However, after he spoke, Lan Zhe and Roy became more alert.

In the room, Sully, whose own door was torn down, was so frightened that he jumped out of the bed. While wondering if it was an earthquake, he opened his door weakly and called Cyril who lived opposite.

Cyril, who would not choose to waste time sleeping at night but to practice, opened her door just before Sully knocked on it.

"What happened?" Cyril vigilantly escorted Sully to the larger space downstairs.

Indoors is not a good place to fight.

As soon as the people downstairs heard the two children's footsteps, they all dropped the topic tacitly.

Egbert gave Raven a vicious look that said, "I'll fight you later when it doesn't affect Sully."

The author has something to say:

While they were fighting with each other and the air, they were also playing dirty tricks on each other.
