Human nature is complex.

Virtues such as humility, compassion, love, solidarity, and kindness really exist.

But that kindness is limited to humans and existence recognized by humans.

It's obvious.

The bone monster is not among them.

The girl, cursed by the wizard and invaded by the breath of the dead, has long since become a hideous being.

She lost her beautiful face and became ugly and horrible.

She lost her fair skin and her withered bones became visible.

She lost her beating heart, and her soul fire was clearly visible.

"Get out, monster!"

"Quick, kill this monster!"

Angry rocks were thrown and swords were chopped fiercely.

sylvia crawfield.

Emerald, who had blossomed in the sunlight, felt people's malice for the first time. She felt terrified and helpless as she watched people call her a monster.

It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this.

Sylvias meant no harm to anyone.

She just wanted to protect the people of the Crawfield territory as much as possible, even though time had passed so long ago that people had forgotten the name.

A girl who grew up listening to stories about "heroes".

Still want to be in this dangerous world.

To protect the innocent as much as possible.

At least.

We cannot let our deceased parents down.

Sylvia thought so, but the villagers didn't think so. They shouted with fear on their faces, trying to drive away the undead Sylvia.

Finally, Sylvia had no choice but to flee.

He stumbled to the ground in the most brutal manner, then stood up and ran away again and again.

She can't do it.

You can't swing your sword at those who are afraid.

So the only choice is to escape.

Escaped very far, so far that only decay and stench were left as companions, and returned to a home that had long since collapsed beyond recognition.

"Master Wizard."

In the wet dry forest after the rain.

The sound of water dripping is clear and echoing.

The warrior in heavy armor, half of his body hidden in the darkness, looked a little thin, and his voice was hesitant and confused: "What do you think..."

"Whether a person is good or bad should be judged by his appearance or by his inner qualities."

"My...friend."

"Servia, I really, really want to know the answer to this question."

Her hands crossed unconsciously, rubbing the rust between her fingers. Inside the heavy armor, the undead girl was waiting for Xu Xi's answer.

That voice was so hoarse and trembling.

It's as if it were filled with lead sand.

Sharp and unpleasant.

It even affected the dead branches above his head, causing the water drops to fall faster, again and again, popping right in front of Xu Xi's eyes.

"Answer?" Perhaps he was recalling several previous simulations.

Finally, he spoke to the girl in front of him who was wearing armor and wrapped tightly.

"I have no idea."

"Why?"

The girl couldn't understand such an answer and she looked incredulous.

Even with the heavy iron helmet between us.

Xu Xi could also feel that invisible look of astonishment, expressing incomprehension in the silence.

Xu Xi looked him in the eye: "Whether a person is good or bad depends on many aspects, not just on their appearance or their inner qualities."

"There are actually no absolute answers in this world."

"Whether it's good or bad, no one can tell."

"Also, I never feel that my goodness or badness needs to be judged by others."

Recalling the third simulation, when he led the survival army to attack Daqian, he heard the angry curses from the Daqian officials.

Maybe he shook his head.

"The most important thing in life is to believe in yourself."

"Don't you need to pay attention to what others say?"

"You can pay attention to it or ignore it. The final choice is not important. What is important is that you make this choice."

Inside the armor, the undead girl fell silent.

The wizard in front of me is too strange.

He is not as evil as the ones I met before. He will not wantonly play with the souls of the living. He even says some strange words that are inexplicably deeply rooted in people's hearts.

He seems...

A good wizard.

"Thank you for clearing up my doubts." As if a burden had been lifted, the soul fire of the undead girl became more active, and she politely thanked Xu Xi.

"If my friend were here, she would also... appreciate your answer."

The girl's speech was a little clumsy.

Calling each other "friend" is a cover-up for lies that are easily exposed.

In the sound of falling water.

The undead girl asked Xu Xi one last question.

"Master Wizard, do you think... Sylvia, my friend, is she still a human being?"

The girl added: "She believes in herself and is still a real person, but she still wants to hear other people's opinions."

In the dark night.

There is a flickering fire.

It was the fire of the soul, empty and lifeless, yet burning fiercely.

There is an invisible desire bursting out in the air, it is a fragile and painful soul, waiting for Xu Xi's answer, waiting for the affirmation of the heart.

The dead forest is very quiet.

So that the soul feels uneasy.

finally.

The girl waited until a beam of "light" appeared.

"Of course, even if the body is undead, the mind is undoubtedly the same."

There was a sound that turned into light, tearing apart the silent night. The cracking sound was crisp and loud, but it also had a kind of silent warmth.

Being beaten, insulted, driven away, and smashed.

A "brave man" who stood up after countless setbacks.

Now some of the defenses are broken.

I was in a trance for a long time.

"...Thank you." The voice inside the armor was still hoarse and unpleasant, but it also contained a sense of relief and light.

Emerald of the Crawfield family, the most fearless knight.

Even if she is alone, she will bravely move forward with sword in hand.

She knew that she had never been a hero.

She knew that she was extremely weak.

She didn't even know if what she was doing had any meaning. She was just trying to atone for her sins. She was in pain because she had killed her parents with her own hands, and she longed to do more right things to make up for it.

"Monster!" "Devil!" "Devil!"

People hated her and drove her away and smashed things again and again.

Even if I put on armor to hide my true face, I can still hear people's malicious intentions.

Available today.

Someone acknowledged Sylvia's existence, and spoke with a firm belief that within that monstrous body there existed a human soul.

"……Thank you."

The undead girl thanked him again.

She felt a little guilty.

With his hands on the helmet, he slowly took off the steel helmet with a trembling voice, revealing his hideous and ferocious face once again.

The girl seemed to have made up her mind.

"Master Wizard, you asked me before about my specific name and the reason for the mutation of this body."

"I will give you the answer now."

"Actually, I am..."

"Sylvia Crawfield!"

The night is very quiet.

Sylvia waited for Xu Xi's reaction, but Xu Xi had a blank expression on his face. He sat there, looking at her without any wavering eyes.

There was neither surprise nor shock.

Sylvia was a little confused: "Aren't you surprised? About my identity."

"Severia."

"Ah, yes, I'm here."

"Has anyone ever told you that you're not really good at chatting?"

"Hey, how did you know that?!"
