"Stop it! Everyone is obviously a family, why do you have to fight?!" Seeing that Meng Naduo attacked the overlord, the little girl jumped out directly, shouting while blocking Meng Naduo's attack route with her body.

"Monnado! Stop!" As the little girl shouted, Merlin also ordered Mengnado to stop attacking. He was not considering any family relationship, but was simply not wanting to anger the existence that still made his hands and feet cold and his spine soaked.

"Roar~~"

I don't know if it was Merlin's instructions that worked or were afraid of hurting the little girl, Mengnado stopped the charge very quickly, but he still lowered his head and roared at the overlord, and occasionally used his forelimbs to dig the ground. It seemed particularly excited.

[At least, after evolution, the control of power has become much better. If you can't stop charging so easily before evolution.] Merlin is very professional, and in this case, he still does not forget to analyze the progress after Monnado's evolution.

"It's obviously a family, do you have to use force to solve something? Can't you talk about it well..." The little girl with slightly red eyes began a long accusation.

[Has this human child been stimulated? Or was it misled by the things that you humans spread?] Vyzel was soon annoyed by the little girl's crying words. [Most of us do not have the concept of family, blood relationship, family affection that you humans say. At best, we have loyalty and responsibility for our partners. As for the descendants, we will not care about them when they are born and raised...]

Listening to the little girl's accusation, and Vyzel's nagging echoed in his mind, Merlin suddenly felt as big as a fight.

Fortunately, after a while, the overlord took the initiative to end the bitter scene - it simply left with his family.

The overlord's departure made Meilin feel relieved, but then Meilin found that he would rather face the overlord than the little girl who chose to stay...

"Hey, big brother, big brother, let Anteri be released for a while, I want to ride it again~~" The little girl jumped and led the way in front of the team, turning her head to talk to Merlin. Her fair and rosy face was full of joy, whether it was because she met new friends or because she had resolved a family war through her own efforts.

"Anteri is very tired. Can you let it rest..." Merlin responded weakly to the little girl.

"Oh..." The little girl nodded with a little disappointment, but soon shone with glory again, "It's okay, big brother, Xiao Huang, I can restore the spirit and vitality of Pokémons! It's all the time!" The girl who claimed to be Xiao Huang suddenly turned around and said something that made Meilin scared.

[Reading thinking, healing the living body... Could it be...] Meilin's thoughts changed rapidly and carefully picked out the ability to meet these two characteristics from the pile of old papers of memory.

[The gift of Changpan Forest, the gift of nature, the power of nature...] Vyzel shamelessly answered the conversation, destroying the atmosphere of Merlin's painstaking management. [... The gift once every ten years, children born in the forest will receive Changpan's blessing, obtain the heart of the demon **, and obtain the hand to heal the monster... We call them sons of the forest, friends of the monster, and enemies of human beings...]

The words recorded in ancient books that Vyzel's accent were echoed in his mind, and Merlin's thoughts also drifted around with the echoes of running around.

[...The man who destroyed the country, the brain of the monster, the enemy of the army, the protector of the monster, the spokesperson of the Changpan Forest, these famous nicknames are used to describe the son of Changpan of all generations. The humans who walked out from here led the legion of the monsters to destroy many ancient countries and burned many brilliant city-states...]

[... The last and most well-known son of Chang Pan once fought against the newly established alliance government with his own strength, and the alliance lost its armor. In the end, the alliance had to use despicable means to hunt him on the negotiating table...]

[…According to records, Chang Pan's son was also cursed and lived to be fifty years old...]

[...Didn't the alliance claim that the inheritance of Chang Pan's son has been cut off and that there will be no more children born with the gifts given by Chang Pan Forest in the future...]

[......What is this little girl named Xiao Huang, right? Why did she believe me so much? She told me such a secret thing. Don't she or her family know the infamous reputation of the son of Chang Pan from all ages, and aren't you wary of the alliance that may take some measures for her appearance??]

Many thoughts and questions were circling in his head, and Merlin felt that his head was bigger.

[She trusts Anteri, Anteri trusts you, that's all...] ​​Vyzel suddenly heard this sentence indifferently, [What a simple girl, she is so flawless and pure that I am ashamed of.]

Taking a deep breath of the air filled with soil and natural fragrance, Merlin clarified her mind, changed into a smile, and took out Anteri's baby ball.

Such a heavy trust is really unbearable for Merlin.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The little girl riding Anteri, who spreads silver bell-like laughter and chattering words all the way, kept making Merlin ashamed, making Merlin even feel ashamed. The views of her words and words about her family, strangers, Pokémon, good and evil, good and bad actually made Merlin begin to examine her thoughts and whether she is too dark, gray, decadent and extreme.

Fortunately, this self-negation is limited to a flash of thoughts.

The little girl has a very, well, it should be considered a very strange surname. Her full name is Huang Dai Changpan Lilac. This habit of placing surnames after a name indicates that her bloodline is a Semen from the old era, and the word "Dai" in the name means that she has the bloodline left by the old nobles. This character, the surname actually translates to "from Changpan Lilac", means that her family fiefdom or fief is a place called Changpan Lilac.

[The world is so small. You can even encounter these scums that we should have abandoned by the times in such places. It’s really...] When Meilin heard Xiao Huang introduce his name, she sincerely expressed her feelings.

Meilin also used his brain to search for information about the fief of "Changpan Dingxiang" in his mind, but he did not gain anything.

The Seme people in the Guandu area have actually been very rare. Their influx was only a few centuries ago. The countries established in the Guancheng area at that time were defeated by the Seme Expeditionary Force and became a puppet regime. The Seme people immediately began to establish colonies in most of the Guandu and some of the Chengdu areas, and divided the land to nobles and officers.

However, there is no record of the enfeoffment of the Changpan area by the Seme nobles in the Changpan area. Those Seme nobles and warlords were only interested in ports, mines, oil fields, etc. They could not and had no motivation to enfeoff the nobles in such relatively barren inland areas. Unless, the title of the noble was enfeoffed by the great nobles to their own small vassals.

[Well, it should be for the monsters in the forest.] Merlin quickly calculated the reasonable origin of this surname. [Seme people have always had a tradition of hunting in the wild. They also like to make specimens of the heads of prey and hang them on the walls as decoration. The monster production in Changpan Forest has always been high, so it should be set up for this. But it is also strange. The monsters in Changpan Forest are mainly insect-type monsters...] But soon he began to deny himself and overturn his judgment.

[...In fact, you should think so more. The descendants of the former hunter actually became the son of Chang Pan, the spokesperson of the cut down party, and the protector of the hunted party. This is really ironic... The omnipotent nature is always so humorous...] Vyzel habitually enters the mess.

Putting aside Xiao Huang's background, surname, origin, ability, etc., just talking about this little girl, she actually made Mei Lin feel the warmth from the same kind that she hadn't seen for a long time.

The environment he grew up in since childhood made Meilin unable to feel what maternal love is, what is called fatherly love, what is brotherhood, and sisterly friendship. He has learned the ugliest and most primitive side of human nature since he was a child. He also understood since he was a child that humans are actually not different from monsters, and to some extent, humans' beast nature is more primitive and cruel than monsters.

Childhood experiences have allowed Merlin to instinctively prevent and resist humans, and the knowledge of a teenager has further deepened this childhood trauma. For Merlin, humans are far less trustworthy than Pokémon.

However, Xiao Huang's appearance made Meilin feel a hint of human warmth. A little girl actually trusted someone so much and had only met for a few minutes and had only been together for a few hours (Note: Meilin is already sixteen years old and is a legal adult. Note: When she is fourteen years old, she is considered a person with full capacity when she becomes a trainer. She is a reserve adult and has to bear various legal responsibilities and obligations). She exposed her secret that she should keep, volunteered to lead the way for him, and even took the other party to her home for a short time.

Indeed, this kind of behavior can be described as naive, simple, ignorant of the world, and ignorant of human hearts, but Merlin enjoys this trust and warmth particularly.

In fact, Merlin should really reflect on himself. He is indeed a bit too extreme and too cold. Sometimes it is not that the world is not warm, but that he is used to using colored glasses to explore their kindness, used to using sinisterness to measure people's hearts, used to rejection, and used to distrust.

"Hey, brother, you're so stupid..." Xiao Huang, who was riding Anteri and holding Frog in his arms, hummed a cheerful song for a while, and suddenly started talking again: "I've been lost in the forest for nearly a month. Although Uncle Xiudian said that the forest has recovered now, it's so stupid to get lost even if I walk along the road."

As she said that, she turned her head and squeezed a cute face at Merlin. Merlin had no choice but to nod helplessly and said yes.

Frog in her arms also started to make noises and stuck out his tongue at Merlin, but was scared back by Merlin's squint.

It's strange that Frog did not cause anger to hunt down the edge of the forest or his time with Xiao Huang.

"Uncle Xiudian said that when he was a child, the forest was smaller than now, and there were fewer Pokémon in the forest, but now it has become better, the river has become clearer, and the sky has become blue..." Xiao Huang continued to mutter to himself.

Several industrial revolutions of mankind have hit nature hard. Although it has also caused a counterattack from nature, it still takes time for nature to heal itself. Merlin's generation is also a good time to catch up with the popularization and development of new energy. Now life is more convenient and healthier than in the past. There is neither serious industrial pollution nor environmental damage, and nature is also undergoing rapid restoration and recovery.

In short, congratulations to mankind on finally finding a path to live in peace with nature while being unhappy and unwilling to contribute.

Suddenly, Xiao Huang urged Anteri to run a few steps and rushed out of the sparse woodland. He looked at the clear river that suddenly appeared in front of him and shouted: "Ah, you can see the river~~ I'm almost home when I see the river. Uncle Xiudian must be still fishing for Pokémon..."

She turned around and greeted Merlin loudly: "Brother, hurry up, hurry up! You'll be home soon!"

Responding to Xiao Huang's call, Meilin also walked out of the woodland. Looking at the quietly flowing river in front of him, Meilin felt that the corners of his eyes were a little wet.

"It's considered that I've come out..."
