The young man’s height was already not tall in this other world where everyone’s development ran rampant. At this moment, with the Raven carrying Su Li on his back, compared to the Raven that could almost completely conceal his entire body…
Su Li, with only his head exposed, looked like a pitiful little thing with no ability to resist.
Joel immediately stood up from his chair with a “whoosh,” and without thinking, shouted toward the people upstairs. “Su Li has been kidnapped by a monster beast! Someone come quickly to save him!”
The three people upstairs who heard the keywords rushed down without thinking.
Then, several people looked expressionlessly at the equally expressionless Raven, who greeted them.
“Long time no see.”
Roy directly pushed the Raven aside and immediately crouched beside Su Li, who had been placed on a chair by the Raven and was sitting quietly.
The two-star mercenary turned his head and replied, “Thank you, but we didn’t really want to see you. Of course, the little master is an exception.”
Egbert was also so excited that his hands were trembling.
Although they hadn’t been separated for long, Egbert felt as if several centuries had passed.
He thought about how Su Li was doing every day.
When the person finally returned to his side, the first thing he noticed was Su Li’s unhealthy complexion.
He yanked away Roy, who had explosive speed at critical moments, and Egbert immediately pushed Lan Zhe to the position closest to Su Li.
The Dark Holy Son also cooperated seamlessly and began a comprehensive examination of Su Li.
Lan Zhe said with a serious expression, “There’s some blood accumulation in the abdominal cavity, and the internal organs have suffered varying degrees of damage. There are more than one abrasions on his body, and furthermore, Su Li probably hasn’t eaten properly for the past few days.”
This was too serious.
In modern society, this would be the level requiring hospitalization.
But in this other world, especially compared to Adison, who had lost half his body not long ago…
The butterfly spirit’s mind was filled with indescribable thoughts.
“Is this really such an incredibly serious injury?” Adison couldn’t help but question. “At most, it would heal completely in two or three days, right?”
Egbert, who had never imagined that someone staying by Su Li’s side would dare to question him, immediately glared sharply at Adison.
Even though he was an ordinary human much weaker than himself, Adison couldn’t help but step back and show a wary expression.
“Do you know what you’re saying?” Egbert’s gaze was sharp. “How can Lord Su Li’s physical strength be compared to ours, or even to you monster beasts?”
“Lord…..Su Li…?” Adison said strangely. “Not to mention in monster beast society, even in human society, someone his age would be considered a cub, right?”
Egbert completely ignored the butterfly spirit’s chatter, and he said righteously, “Whether it’s being choked by a fish bone or accidentally stubbing his big toe on a cabinet, these are all very serious injuries for Lord Su Li.”
“Don’t compare yourself, such an existence, with the Lord.”
“Your common sense has no value for Lord Su Li. It’s precisely because those injuries are already considered serious for him that the penetrating and destructive attacks that often appear on your bodies are things that shouldn’t exist.”
Egbert directly treated Adison as one of those missionary targets from the past.
“Moreover, dare you imagine those injuries that appeared on your body appearing on Lord Su Li? Those things would be severe injuries sufficient to send Lord Su Li toward death’s embrace.”
“You shouldn’t take it for granted to place your erroneous common sense on Lord Su Li. Otherwise, we will only remain under oppression for a long time and will never be able to discover that the common sense we’ve always adhered to is wrong.”
Adison was full of question marks.
“But I never thought Su Li needed to suffer injuries as severe as mine. Besides, how do you know I was injured? Also, I don’t think my common sense includes injuries where half the body is gone as some frequently occurring common sense.”
Egbert’s eyes widened.
“You actually dared to let Lord Su Li see the sight of you with half your body gone?!”
The ordinary human completely ignored the strength of the general under the Queen at this moment.
What strength or no strength – anyone who dared to harm Su Li should be uniformly driven out!
“Such ugly and filthy injuries were actually seen by the Lord…” Egbert showed an expression as if Adison had committed an unforgivable crime.
Adison felt something was off no matter what, so he deliberately said, “Not only did he see my wounds, he even personally bandaged them for me.”
“Is there any problem with this?” Adison still insisted on his common sense understanding.
Lan Zhe gave Adison an indescribable expression, and afterward, Egbert directly led the butterfly spirit to a corner where Su Li couldn’t hear their conversation.
On Su Li’s side, Lan Zhe was asking him, “When you cough, do you feel a bloody taste in your throat?”
“Sometimes yes, sometimes no.” Su Li glanced at the corner where Egbert was.
Visibly, Adison’s expression changed from “What is this?” to “It can be like this?”
As for the Dark Holy Son in front of him…
Lan Zhe’s expression was grave, and then he directly took out a large pile of medicinal materials from the alchemy tools he carried.
The others, already accustomed to ignoring the value of the Dark Holy Son’s inventory, remained natural in their attitude.
The group didn’t mind at all that he took out those medicines that could bring the dead back to life and heal bones, to treat Su Li’s abdominal blood accumulation.
When Adison was finally brainwashed into “everything comes second to Su Li,” the injuries on Su Li’s body, which he had previously thought couldn’t even be called injuries, had completely disappeared.
Egbert even specially used light elements to heat a large bucket of water and prepared clean clothes for Su Li. Only after confirming that the young man could completely wash by himself did he reluctantly leave the second-floor room.
Afterward, all the anger that had obviously been suppressed earlier was directed at the Raven’s face.
“What exactly did you do to make Lord Su Li injured!”
Before the Raven could explain, he heard Egbert say, “I don’t want to know your excuses. You only need to tell me whether you can ensure that Lord Su Li will never be injured again in the future.”
This rogue behavior opened Adison’s eyes.
The Raven said quite habitually, “This was just an accident.”
“Since it was an accident, it can also be said to be unexpected. I cannot guarantee whether he will definitely not be injured in the future, but I can guarantee that when facing enemies, I will definitely think ahead of all attacks that might harm Su Li and intercept them all.”
Egbert accepted this 80-point answer, then relaxed his brow and said, “I understand.”
“Since Lord Su Li is fine now, let’s talk about the relationship between this monster beast and that other monster beast…”
“Asgari?” Adison raised an eyebrow.
“It seems you know.” Egbert said as if it were a given.
“It’s Asgari, a monster beast whose original form is a snowy owl. Not long after Lord Su Li left, he came to this city. This monster beast’s purpose was to avoid the Queen of the Winged Tribe’s action against the Dragon Clan. When he was in the stage of transforming from human to monster beast, he had a friend named Morton, who was the younger brother of Joel’s great-grandfather.”
“That person was killed by his own hand…”
Egbert didn’t give others a chance to react and directly said, “The basic situation is like this, but there should have been interference from other tribes during the Winged Tribe’s internal war, with the greatest possibility being the Water Tribe. The Beast Tribe previously used Bartholomew specifically to target Leia, which can also be defined as the Beast Tribe being the most skilled at exchanging the smallest cost for the greatest benefit.”
“So there should be no interference from them in this war, but it’s hard to guarantee that no one is stirring up conspiracies behind the scenes.” Egbert tapped the table with his finger. “Asgari’s purpose is to make the existing structure of the entire monster beast society collapse.”
“He hopes all transformed monster beasts will die in the war, and that there will never again be transformed monster beasts from now on. This purpose has been confirmed. What we need to think about now is how we should act.”
Lan Zhe sat on a table not far away, and after Egbert informed the Raven of the basic intelligence, he said, “As a human, my personally highest priority goal is to protect Su Li’s safety, and only secondarily to promote the destruction of monster beast civilization. Not to mention anything else, as long as monster beast society exists, humans will always live in crisis.”
“This point itself conflicts with protecting Su Li’s safety, so when possible, my suggestion is to cooperate with Asgari to maximize involving the Water Tribe, Winged Tribe, and Beast Tribe in war, and take this opportunity to develop individual human strength.”
“The above is my view, but this is only a phased goal. The deeper goal…”
Lan Zhe swept his gaze over the others, staring at Adison for two extra seconds before saying, “Rather than bestowing divine honor upon monster beasts, I’m more inclined to have Su Li bear humanity’s hopes.”
“He has this ability.”
“No one would question this point.” Roy nodded in affirmation. “But the current situation is that we still don’t have the conditions to enter the game. Asgari, as a monster beast, also cannot possibly let us direct him. There’s a natural barrier between transformed monster beasts and humans, and Asgari has already told us this fact.”
“No, the conditions to enter the game have actually existed for a long time.” The Raven shook his head in denial.
He then directly told them about Elvi wanting to use his life as a medicinal catalyst.
He also emphasized Su Li’s identity value again.
“Elvi cannot possibly let Su Li go, especially during a stage when dragons have suffered heavy losses.”
“In fact, rather than saying you don’t have the qualifications to enter the game, it’s better to say that from the moment Su Li came to monster beast society, he has always existed in the whirlpool.”
“It’s just that compared to before, in the days to come, that whirlpool will no longer hide underwater but will be brought directly to the surface.”
“This is destined. The only thing we can do is improve our own strength, improve our own strength as much as possible, so that even if the whirlpool envelops him, it cannot harm him.”
“As for the recent situation…” The Raven thought for a moment, then simply kicked the ball directly back to Egbert. “Egbert, you tell us, given the current situation, what changes are most likely to occur in the future structure among monster beasts.”
“I thought humans would all understand the future developments.” Egbert deliberately glanced at Adison.
Roy and Lan Zhe were not fools.
Even if the Beast Tribe didn’t interfere in the Winged Tribe’s internal strife, it didn’t prevent them from having the idea of reaping benefits.
In this battle, Leia neither lost nor won. Using the dog she trained in exchange for Elvi’s close attendant – the black dragon Victoria – this wasn’t a loss.
Moreover, the mermaid could still use the death of the Water Tribe King to negotiate benefit exchange conditions with the Winged Tribe Queen.
As for whether news would spread that the Water Tribe King was killed by Leia… the mermaid only needed to not admit it, since the Water Tribe King did indeed die in this battle.
How did he die…?
Was that important?
At this time, the Water Tribe and Winged Tribe were destined to unite. As long as the Beast Tribe had no intention of direct confrontation and was unwilling to directly face two enemies alone, if they wanted to break the situation of two tribes united against another among the three tribes…
The Beast Tribe would most likely place their bet on Elvi.
So what if Bartholomew and Leia had previously joined hands wanting to kill Elvi?
The dragon not only suffered no injuries then but didn’t suffer any losses at all.
How different from now, with Victoria dead and Dragon Clan members dying in large numbers…
Once the Beast Tribe showed support for the dragon, Elvi would definitely seize this opportunity to establish a fourth faction with the dragon’s identity.
Whether she planned to retaliate against the Winged Tribe Queen or the mermaid, this would be the same old story of reaping benefits for the Beast Tribe.
As for Su Li’s identity…
Whether it was the Raven or other humans, they all tended to think that Elvi would use this intelligence as one of the trading items for the Beast Tribe’s support of the dragon.
Interestingly, Leia also knew this intelligence.
This meant the Winged Tribe might also learn of Su Li’s value afterward.
As a strategic resource, they couldn’t possibly watch Su Li be plundered by one side.
As for whether they would kill him on the spot…
This possibility existed, but it wasn’t high.
As long as the scales of value still tilted even slightly toward Su Li, the young man was destined to have no life-threatening danger.
But if the value became imbalanced, and Su Li’s survival couldn’t outweigh the advantage his death would bring to the other tribes…
By that time, they might not even have a chance to make a move against Su Li.
Asgari’s purpose had always been to provoke a three-tribe melee.
And what could more easily provoke chaos than Su Li, who was at the center of the whirlpool?
At this moment, the only confused person on the first floor of the inn was Adison.
The butterfly spirit completely couldn’t understand why the human side… including the Raven, basically Adison couldn’t figure out at all what deep information the other several people had mutually acknowledged just by exchanging glances.
But he would ask: “So where exactly is Asgari?”
This question plunged everyone into silence.
The Raven didn’t know, while the other humans were thinking that the room where Egbert heated water seemed to be the room Su Li had lived in before, but after Su Li left, it was occupied by the later-arriving Asgari…
In the room, Su Li finished tidying himself up and dressed properly. When his platinum-colored hair was still dripping water, the young man looked expressionlessly at the snowy owl nestled in the center of the single bed, staring at him with a pair of deep brown eyes.
In monster beast society, Su Li didn’t think he could see normal animals at all.
“Does it look good?” Su Li raised his wrist, grabbed a handful of wet hair ends over the water bucket, and water vapor condensed on his eyelashes, forming small droplets.
When the dripping water fell into the bucket, the snowy owl transformed into human form. It was a monster beast that looked like a man in his thirties with mature-looking features.
Compared to the Raven’s pure black eyes without any whites, this monster beast had deep brown in the white areas of his eyes, while the depths of his pupils were completely black.
“For humans, it might be considered good-looking.” Asgari sat calmly on the bed.
But Su Li looked him up and down, and said with a calm expression, “But for me, you’re not very good-looking.”
“Whether it’s the penetrating wound scars on your thighs or the claw marks on your chest that seem to have been scratched by some sharp claws… Of course, if you consider turning around or something, I might be able to see clearly the state of the scars on your back.”
Su Li calmly pulled over a towel hanging on a nearby rack, wrapped it around his head, and said in a clear voice, “I personally don’t think scars can be equated with medals. Scars are just scars, and you, so calmly exposing these, don’t seem worried about others’ disgust at all…”
Su Li showed a meaningful smile.
He didn’t care about being seen naked – what was there to see in a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy?
But he was very bothered by having a frank encounter with another naked man.
Asgari fell into silence.
When the group downstairs finally rushed upstairs and kicked open the door, Su Li was maintaining a half-smiling expression, saying to Egbert, “I really hope the glasses Castor prepared have more than one backup with you.”
Egbert’s expression instantly changed from “panic” to: “Don’t think about leaving this room alive today!”
He was referring to Asgari.
