The door of the tree house.
The adults fell silent at the same time.
This made Lingling, who had just made the request, feel a little overwhelmed. She grabbed Thor's collar with her little hands and asked softly, "Uncle, did Lingling say something wrong?"
Thor came back to his senses, held Lingling's small hand with his big hand, and looked at Lingling with a complicated expression.
He was closest to Lingling, so he could clearly see the worry in Lingling's big eyes.
This little guy is worried about them!
In fact, he wasn't quite sure what the situation would be when investigating the undead this time.
Especially according to what happened twenty years ago, if an elf was infected with evil spirits, it would not be able to completely heal itself with purification magic.
Because the level of purification magic of the tribesmen is not as high as his.
Before, various tribes came to him for help. With such a large number of people, he had to use all his strength to eliminate the evil spirit.
The demonic energy discovered this time was obviously more powerful than the last time.
If he were to be infected or fall into the trap of the undead, then the last hope of this continent might fall on the little ball in his arms.
Of course, he felt that things would not get that bad. His previous experience at the bottom of the sea had proved that his purification magic was useful. He thought that the possibility of something happening to him was just the worst-case scenario.
So, when we were discussing this in the tree house earlier, he also said:
"If something unfortunate happens to me and I become an obstacle, you can tell Lingling. However, please don't let Lingling see my ugly appearance."
They all didn't want Xiaotuanzi to know about these dangers in advance, and their common idea was to keep it secret from Lingling for the time being and nip the danger in the bud.
But now...
Thor asked softly, "Baby, do you really want to know what the uncles and grandparents are going to do?"
Lingling looked at Thor's serious expression, nodded hesitantly and said, "Lingling wants to know. Lingling is a big kid now. Lingling can protect everyone."
Thor's eyes suddenly became hot, and he turned his head away in panic, answering in a hoarse voice:
"But the uncles and grandparents just want Lingling to grow up carefree, without fear or worrying about waking up hurt the next day."
Lingling was a little confused. She stared blankly at Thor who turned away, then looked at the adults who tried their best to avoid her sight, and said in confusion:
"But Lingling wants everyone to be like this~ Lingling won't be happy if she's happy alone. Lingling wants everyone to be happy~"
"And..." Lingling scratched her head, somewhat confused by the adults' beating around the bush. She said loudly, "And, Lingling is better than everyone else!"
After he finished speaking, everyone's emotions, worries, and anxieties all disappeared.
Now everyone just feels that the warm and caring little cotton-padded jacket has some leaks.
Little Tuanzi continued chattering, "Uncle Thor, think about it, Lingling is better than you, so she can deal with bad guys and bad things faster than you can. You can then spend more time playing with Lingling. Wouldn't Lingling be happier?"
"Right?"
Lingling's eyes sparkled, and she became more and more excited as she spoke:
"Also, Lingling knows that her brothers are being trained by their uncles. Lingling wants to train too, but no one is leading her. Now she only knows a few inherited spells~ Lingling feels a little underwhelmed..."
No one had heard what Lingling said afterwards. All they could think about were the words, "Lingling is better than everyone else!" and "She only knows a few inherited spells~"
The little tree people were still listening to what their sister was saying, and seeing the adults' strange expressions, they had the same idea as their sister.
Yes! My sister is so strong, why not train her? My sister can hit people and it hurts! She is not just a cute little girl.
Alphonse was still looking at the adults, a hint of mockery on his face, and he was secretly laughing in his heart:
"Hehe, it seems you don't become smart just by growing up. The adults worry about this and that, and don't even bother to ask my sister what she really thinks. They just make decisions on their own, and my sister must have hit them hard."
Amos accidentally caught a glimpse of Alphonse's mocking expression, and his senses instantly returned.
He heard the little girl still chattering about wanting to become something like "Superwoman" or "Mulan," things he had never heard of before.
He couldn't bear to interrupt the little boy, but instead gave Alphonse a "love education", teaching him not to laugh at his elders.
Alphonse was jerked violently, and jumped up with a cry.
Huhu, who was listening carefully to Lingling's dream, jumped up in fright. He stomped on George's root with a roar. George was startled and stepped on his other brothers. For a while, the little guys stepped on each other in a mess.
"Ge Ge?" Ling Ling saw her brothers huddled together and finally stopped, no longer expressing their gratitude.
She tapped her little feet, looking eager to move.
Lingling also wants to step on it!
Thor was brought back to his senses by Lingling's actions. He subconsciously put Lingling down and looked at her in a daze as she ran over to play with her brothers.
Little Dumpling forgot all about lunch, eavesdropping, and dreams.
The adults were left looking at the children as if they were not very smart.
Damon cleared his throat and reminded everyone, "Actually, I think what Lingling said makes sense."
Everyone looked over, Damon wiped his face and explained:
"Our orc children have been learning hunting since they were young, following their parents. We will let them accept bloodshed to a certain extent, rather than shielding them from the cruelty."
"I think Lingling means the same thing. She doesn't want to be a child who is always protected by you. She has her own insistence, especially..."
Damon took in everyone's expressions, gritted his teeth, and said, "Especially, Little Dumpling knows very well that he is better than you."
After hearing this, everyone was speechless.
Triton was the first to respond:
"I support Lingling! If she wants to participate, then let her participate."
"I've figured it out. I'll just try my best to ignore the fact that Lingling is a little girl. I'm pretty tough on those two brats at home anyway, and I never show mercy when training them. Doesn't Lingling just want to fight with us? We just need to protect her."
The tree people elders were still silent, but after listening to everyone's words, they understood.
But! Understanding is one thing, but who can really say harsh words to Lingling, or take ruthless action? Who can?
Thor finally came back to his senses. He looked at Lingling, then at Triton, and said to the Merman King Triton with a light cough:
"Alright then. Starting tomorrow, you'll train Lingling first. I'll take a look at the situation. If the training is effective and Lingling's willingness remains strong, we'll take Lingling and fight the undead."
Triton: ...I'm the bad guy first, right?! I should have spoken later.
