Although everyone was not at ease about camping here, they were really blind at the moment and had no other choice. So in the end they could only nod and agreed to Jenny's proposal, and then set up camp in this forest. Of course,

In order to avoid alerting others, they did not light a fire or do anything to the camp. They just sat down with the marked stone as the center, and then the Naga priest and the dwarf mage each cast a few magical and magic spells.

Protection means. Barbarian warriors volunteered to take on the responsibility of keeping vigil - after all, spellcasters need to meditate and rest at night to restore energy, so this physical work can only be done by melee professionals who rely on their bodies for food.

As night fell, I don't know whether it was because of exhaustion or self-defeat. After finishing their work, the dwarf mage and the Naga priest found a place to sleep next to the stone. The barbarian warrior stayed by their side.

Although they are said to be a five-person adventure team up to now, the two sides are still doing their own things. Except for joining together when fighting, they are still clearly separated at other times. This is not the case in many heroic stories.

When faced with external dangers, an adventure team full of internal conflicts will abandon the glorious tradition of letting go of grudges and laughing away. This shows that the story is a story, not reality.

Jenny sat on the branches and stared at the dark shadows in the distance. After a period of observation, she could determine that these "trees" were connected to each other in a rather strange way, although on the surface it seemed

, their shaking was irregular. But after a period of observation, Jenny still found some clues. But she still doesn’t know how it works, and what the other party plans to do to her and her group.

.

"Lord Windrunner?"

At this moment, a voice came, interrupting Jenny's thoughts. She turned her head and saw Orphen sitting on a branch not far from her, looking at her.

"What's wrong? Your Highness, shouldn't you go and rest? We still have a long way to go tomorrow."

"I... that..."

Facing Jenny's words, Orphen seemed a little flustered. She hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

"Um... I can't sleep, Lord Windrunner, can I talk to you for a while?"

"Of course there is no problem, Your Highness Princess."

Hearing Orphen's question, Jenny smiled slightly, and then nodded. After receiving Jenny's answer, Orphen also had a bit of joy on her face. Then she jumped as light as a bird.

Jenny sat down next to her. However, Orphen did not say anything immediately after that. On the contrary, she just stared blankly at the carved symbol not far below.

He said nothing. Faced with this scene, Jenny didn't say much. She just stayed by Orphen's side quietly. After an unknown amount of time, Orphen finally spoke in a low voice.

"I just... dreamed about the teacher and the others."

"teacher?"

"Um………"

Facing Jenny's inquiry, Orphen nodded, her expression was a little strange, but she continued talking.

"Teacher is the great hero of the elves and the master who taught me, but... I am not her best student."

After saying this, the expression on Orfen's face became much sadder.

"Actually, I shouldn't have gone to the last patrol. Because onee-sama was there, I always felt that it didn't matter if I couldn't do it well. Anyway, onee-sama did everything. Onee-sama is very smart and powerful.

, as long as she wants to do it, there is almost nothing that onee-sama can’t do, unlike me..."

As he spoke, Orphen lowered his head.

"...Unlike me, who is so stupid, my sister can always learn Druid spells instantly. But I can't learn it no matter how hard I learn it, and even if I learn it, I'm not as good as my sister."

.........So when I learned from my mother that I was asked to lead a team to patrol the Plague Land, I actually didn't really want to go. Because the teacher was there, it would be useless even if I followed. But

Mother said that I have grown up, and it is almost time to start practicing, and I also hope to show my abilities in this adventure and let everyone know that I am no worse than my sister, but...

…”

After saying this, Orfen lowered his head and curled up tightly into a ball.

"But... I am still not as good as my sister. When we were attacked, I didn't help anyone at all. On the contrary, I was a hindrance. If it weren't for protecting me, the teacher wouldn't have to stay there at all.

To fight those monsters, just run away. But because of my existence, the teacher and others had to stay and fight those terrible monsters..."

As if recalling the scene at that time, Orphen's body began to tremble slightly at this moment.

"But even so, I couldn't escape. If Lord Windrunner hadn't saved me, I might have died under the claws of those mutated monsters like everyone else. But in this way, Teacher and the others tried their best

What's the point of saving my life? I just feel that I am useless. Teachers and others have sacrificed their lives for me, but I still can't do what I should do... Although with the help of Mr. Windrunner

, I came back alive and brought back a lot of information. But I know that everyone does not actually welcome me back. Although they, including my mother, did not say anything, I know that they are actually resentful.

I, if I hadn't been holding back, then the teacher would have been able to go back safely. And I believe that the teacher would never be as irritable as me, and couldn't even explain things clearly..."

This is a standard case of suffering from the shadow of "other people's children".

Looking at Orphen who was sobbing in front of her, Jenny secretly sighed in her heart. She had never actually met the princess of the Elf Kingdom, but she had heard it mentioned by Aelinste. It seemed that the princess was indeed a member of the Elf Kingdom for thousands of years.

A rare top genius. With such a sister, the pressure on the sister can be imagined. And now judging from Orphen's performance, she indeed cannot withstand such heavy pressure. Perhaps at the beginning,

Orphen once thought about following behind her sister, or proving to others that she also had her own abilities, so she joined the patrol, but unfortunately, Orphen messed up. So now she has

I fell into a cycle of self-doubt and self-depression and couldn't extricate myself.

It can be seen from this that psychological quality education must start from childhood, otherwise it will be too late to regret it when a big mistake is made - but now Jenny just wants to say that the child is so young, she must not be let go!

"Stop crying, Orphen."

Thinking of this, a subtle smile flashed in Jenny's eyes, and then she reached out her hand and gently touched Orphen's head. Jenny didn't feel that Orphen would confide in her at this time.

How strange. In the past, Orphen was able to stay strong. Firstly, it was because of the situation, and secondly, because she was focused on fighting and could not think of all these messy things for a while. But now she saw herself again with her own eyes.

The marks left by the teacher will inevitably make you think about people when you see things, and some thoughts are natural.

"It's wrong to think like this. In fact, everyone has something they are good at. The reason why you feel that you are inferior to your sister and your teacher is because you are different from what they are good at. That's why you are like this

You see, just like among the elves, some people sing much better than others, but they are not necessarily stronger than others in fighting, right? It's the same with you. Everyone is blessed by the gods when they are born.

Blessings. It’s just that many times, they don’t realize how unique they are.”

"Lord Windrunner, you mean that I must also have something that I am good at, is that right?"

After hearing Jenny's comfort, Orphen finally raised his head, looked at Jenny with tearful eyes and asked. Faced with Orphen's question, Jenny nodded without hesitation.

nod.

"Of course, Orphen, you are no exception."

"But, I don't think I'm good at anything?"

Regarding Jenny's answer, Orphen seemed less confident.

"My singing skills are average, and my painting skills are not very good. Even if I go hunting, I won't gain much..."

As he kept talking, Orphen himself became quieter and quieter, and finally lowered his head dejectedly and said nothing. Seeing Orphen like this, Jenny also nodded secretly in her heart, no wonder

She is under so much pressure. If it is true what Orphen said, then in the Forest of Elves, given her status, it is really a bit embarrassing.

But for Jenny, this is not a problem. The demons have always been the king of confusing right and wrong. Such a trivial matter is simply a piece of cake for her. Therefore, she did not hesitate at all when facing Orphen.

Answer was given.

"Then, probably what you are good at are skills that are rarely used by elves."

"Elves don't use it much?"

Hearing this, Orphen was stunned for a moment, unable to realize what Jenny meant. Isn't he an elf?

"That's right."

But Jenny obviously would not give her a chance to react, but nodded and continued.

"In addition to elves, there are many other races on this continent, and there are also many jobs that elves don't usually do. For example, skills such as business and forging, maybe you have such a talent? Orr?

Fen? If that’s the case, then it’s natural that he can’t show it in the Kingdom of Elves.”

"this……………"

Facing Jenny's answer, Orphen was a little stunned for a moment. She had never thought about the problem from this aspect, but if it was really like what Jenny said...

"Lord Windrunner, do you have any idea?"

"I'm not sure I can do it, but..."

After saying this, Jenny narrowed her eyes, and then a faint red light flashed through her eyes.

"If Your Highness the Princess is willing, you can give it a try."

"this……………"

Hearing Jenny's words, Orphen's eyes became a little blurry, but the next moment, she suddenly shivered violently, and then her originally blurred eyes quickly became clear again. Then Orphen

He glanced at Jenny hesitantly, and then spoke.

"This... Lord Windrunner, let me think about it."

"Okay, no problem, Your Highness."

Hearing Orphen's answer, Jenny remained calm on the surface, but deep down she sighed. She was just a little bit close to successfully engraving her demon mark on the princess.

deep in their souls. But unfortunately, the magic resistance of the elven royal family is indeed a headache. Although Orfen was almost defeated, he still came around at the last moment, making himself fall short.

But it doesn't matter. Now that the princess's voice has been heard, her fall will not be far away.

Thinking of this, Jenny also calmed down and reached out her hand to touch Orphen's head again.

"Okay, Your Highness Princess, it's already late at night, go to bed, we have to get up early tomorrow."

"Um……!!"

Perhaps because she said what was in her heart, Orphen felt much more relaxed at the moment. Therefore, after hearing Jenny's words, she did not hesitate, but nodded quickly, then turned around and leaned against another person.
