007 Heartless Monster
"To be honest, are you doing it..."
On the dining table, Delan stared at a "sourcing" dinner, but his face was strange and slow to move.
On the table, there are fragrant barbecue with crispy outside and tender inside, chicken legs wrapped in dark red sauce, toast cut into evenly thick slices, and a large bowl of black soup that must be found for every meal - for ordinary families in the small village of Dole, such a dinner is definitely very hearty!
The problem is:
The sauce of chicken legs tastes like a thin nose;
Chewing the barbecue a few more times will make you feel like horse manure;
The bread tastes quite normal, but after being left for a while, it turns blue...
In contrast, the smell of oak in the soup with black bubbles is quite acceptable!
No wonder Daren didn't dare to whine... In fact, this situation has lasted for several days. My sister Enid recently seemed to have fallen in love with cooking various dark dishes. Although she used to often tinker with some weird things, the frequency was far less high, and she almost never gave Daren to eat it.
In addition, there is always a wonderful feeling of continuous power during training these days. Even if Daren is careless, he realizes that something is wrong.
"What are you put inside?" Daren asked silently with his exaggerated mouth through the long table, staring at the girl with long flax hair.
On the far side of the table, Dai Aina's appetite was very small, so she soaked a few pieces of broken bread in soup and even though she had finished eating it, she looked like she was about to take a nap again...
"It's just a relatively nutritious food." Enid pinched a small piece of barbecue without anyone else and chewed it in her mouth. He blinked his dark eyes and looked at him innocently: "Dalen, can you still trust me? It's not harmful to your body, so feel free."
"I warn you, don't put things around, if I have diarrhea..."
"I will see you diarrhea in advance, you won't." Enid directly blocked Deren's words.
"Cough... don't look at everything..." Deren was stunned and covered his face.
"Okay, I know what I know."
"You know it, but I don't know..."
After a daily quarrel, Delan ended up eating all the food.
Food is a gift from the goddess of light, and waste is shameful.
What's more, every time I come back from daytime training, Daren feels very hungry and feels so hungry that he can almost eat the entire long dining table!
After dinner, before going to bed.
As usual, Delan sat by the bed and read Enid a story about his father's "Travels of the Mainland" through the dim light of the candle.
There are only a few stories in the whole book, and I have told them many times. Daren can almost memorize them, but the girl still listens with relish.
After the story was finished, the brunette boy blew out the candle and stood up and left.
"By the way, Daren, don't work too hard to train tomorrow. Remember to save more physical strength before the afternoon..." Enid suddenly spoke out. She was already huddled in the quilt, with only a small head exposed, and her black eyes looked shiny in the dark room.
"Did you see something?" Deren turned around in confusion, "Will Hans come to trouble us?"
"Anyway, just remember... Well, that's it, good night."
"Oh, good night."
Daren stood at the door, watching the moonlight outside the window sprinkle on the face of the long-haired girl in linen, while she closed her eyes and did not show any abnormalities. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and slowly closed the door and left.

The next day.
"Dalen, why do you feel like you are absent-minded today?"
Red-haired Gene's hands swayed in front of the brunette teenager's eyes.
"Ah? Oh, it's okay..." Daren came to his senses, took his gaze back from Hans, and swung his sword toward the poor scarecrow in front of him.
"Please, the four words 'I'm lying' are written on your face!" Gene sneaked over and whispered: "You have been peeking at Little Hans. Have you learned any rumor about him? I really don't know why you, a fool, are you more efficient than me... How do we fix him today?"
"You always like to go against him so much..." Daren rolled his eyes, "He has been quite at peace these days and he doesn't come to provoke us. There is no need for us to provoke him. Just practice your bow and arrow."
"Are you afraid of him?"
"Tsk, the future warrior will not be afraid! If he really messes with me today, I want to try to defeat him with real skills." Delan said this and felt a sense of confidence.
In the past six days, only he himself knows the best of his progress!
With all his strength, he could already cut a dent of one and a half finger on the Baijian wooden stake. But don't forget that his weapon is a sword, which is lighter than an axe. When chopping, he is born with a loss of axe...Dalen felt that his power might not be much worse than that of Hans.
Even the wooden shield held on his left arm felt lighter. If this continues, he might have to change a shield. However, considering the price of creating a metal shield, Deren gave up that idea.
Daren is already full of confidence in himself being recognized by Orwell before winter comes.
For this reason, for the first time, he had the bold idea of not relying on Enid's prophecy and using his own abilities to show off his face with Hans.
Delan intentionally saved some physical strength in the morning... If Enid didn't lie to herself last night, then maybe something might have happened after noon today?
The biggest possibility is that Hans' old habit has been in trouble and is here to provoke them again.
"Woo--"
Just as Deren was thinking this way, the sharp horn suddenly rang throughout the village of Dole.
"The monster is here-the monster from the Dark Valley is here-"
The man who was on guard ran over screaming.
Just like putting lit hay into the ant nest, the entire training ground suddenly became boiling! Delen was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that "things happened" would be like this!
"Prepare for the fight!"
The members of the Knights of Self-Defense put on protective gear as fast as possible, took their weapons, and ran to the northern wall of the village in a hurry.
The half-old children who are reserve members are no exception and run away - they are considered the second tier, and if the adults can't stand it, they can't stay out of it! From the moment they become reserve members of the Self-Defense Corps, they also have this responsibility on their small shoulders.
Only the elderly, weak, women and children who had no power to resist in front of the monsters hid when they heard the horn and closed the doors and windows at home without moving.
At this urgent moment, Antonio, the leader of the Self-Defense Corps, was quite calm. It was not the first time that monsters attacked the village. He was experienced and organized people to set up defenses along the wall, while sending people to explain the situation to the Adventurers in the Stone House and requesting assistance.
In fact, he doesn't need to ask for it, the adventurers have already arrived by themselves.
Intermediate Light Warrior Orwell! Intermediate Light Bowman Eddie! Junior Holy Priest William! Three people appeared at the wall north of the village, and their respective light marks appeared on their foreheads, and three different patterns bloomed with faint light.
Their arrival and his calm appearance undoubtedly gave the villagers a calm injection.
[There are three adventurers, there should be no problem...]
People feel very calm.
At this time, dense figures of the enemy finally emerged from the large shadows and woods in the north of the village.
It was a group of small things with red eyes, bared teeth, and saliva could not stop flowing. From the appearance, they can be mainly divided into three categories, namely, the pointed green-skinned creatures like thin old men, tall and thin monsters with rough skin as bark, and the flying female creatures with dirty wings that were only the size of a palm.
