"Arnold!" Leah, who was sitting in front of the carriage not far away, greeted Zero when she saw him. She beckoned as she swung her legs dangling in midair.

The two people on the road walked towards Leah, who was sitting in the carriage, and Leah saw Evan next to Zero and nodded with a smile and said, "Hello, Aven." ”

"Ah...... Hello......" Evan replied with a blushing face.

"Sister, Evan and we will go home for lunch today, no problem, right?" said Zero to Leah with a grin.

Ai Wen looked at Leah expectantly, only to see that she immediately nodded and said, "Of course it's good, my father just came home today, and the house should be very lively." ”

Hearing this, the two boys looked at each other and smiled, and Leah continued, "However, Aven, you have to say hello to the family, don't let them worry." ”

"Hmm!" Aivan's eyes seemed to be flashing with crystal stars, and he nodded simply, "I'll go say hello, you're waiting for me here~"

With that, Evan trotted to find his carriage. Zero glanced at Evan who ran away, then stepped on the ladder and walked into the carriage, greeted Butler Rune who was sitting in the driver's seat at the front of the carriage, then touched Leah's head and sat down next to her, lazily leaning on the crossbar by the door of the carriage.

"Don't always touch your sister's head," Leah winked, "You're my brother, I should touch you." ”

Saying that, Leah was about to reach out and touch Zero's head, Zero tilted her head, and pretended to be nervous and said, "Hey~ No, it won't be tall to touch your head." ”

"Then you always touch my head, girls also have to grow taller. Leah withdrew her hand and pursed her lips in a very cute look.

"It's okay~ Haven't you always been taller than me, aren't you Uncle Rune?" asked Zero looking at Rune, who had been silent.

Hearing this, Rune smiled and turned around and said, "Your sister is two years older than you, and it is normal for her to be taller than you, so you need to eat more and exercise more so that you can grow taller." ”

"Alas...... When my father comes back this time, can I still lack exercise? When does he come back and don't toss me hard?" Zero said and sighed.

"The head of the house, it's all for your own good. ”

"yes, yes......" Zero said, "For my good, you all like to say that......"

Wayne would ask Zero to exercise with him every time he came home, and the Juggernaut was very strict, and every time he was so tired that his limbs went weak, and he couldn't even let him eat if he couldn't meet the requirements. But sometimes Zero is really angry with his current "weak" young body. Although Wayne is strict, he does show mercy to his little child, that kind of exercise in his previous life he did it in one go, and now this child's body is out of breath after not long to do it, which makes him very helpless. So he usually pays great attention to his diet and exercise, after all, his mind is an adult, so that Zero's physical fitness is naturally much better than those picky eaters and pampered children of the same age.

But in this way, it is happy for the adults in the family. The elders took a look, huh~ This little guy's physical fitness has been so good since he was a child, he is a good seedling for martial arts, and he must be allowed to practice our family's ancestral fighting spirit in the future, and a bright swordsmanship star is rising in the eyes of the elders of the family.

But Zero's original intention is not this, he has exercised since he was a child because his mind is mature and he knows right and wrong. Who wants to grow into a weak seedling that will fall in the wind? Besides, he is a man who wants to become a great magician, the kind who has spent his whole life studying magic, who wants to practice the boring and hard-working fighting spirit. Later, looking at the expectant eyes of the elders, Zero had to confess his ambition to become a magician, lest these adults expect more and more disappointment, and almost drowned in their saliva, saying that he is not filial, white-eyed wolf, and does not want to contribute to the family...... even blamed his mother, saying that she had not disciplined her son well, and scared him so much that he quickly slipped out of the house.

"Alas...... What a hassle......" Zero sighed. He crossed his hands on the back of his head, leaned against the car door, and looked up at the white clouds slowly fluttering in the wind in the blue sky.

A fresh breeze blows, stirring the tall Azusa trees on both sides of the road, the dense canopy swaying soothingly with the wind, and the rustling of green leaves is incessant. A ray of sunlight flickered through the gap between the leaves in front of Zero's eyes, and Zero narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The Royal Palace of Denos, the Hall of Deliberations.

King Videlier sat on the king's chair and looked at Wayne and Van Gellis, who were standing respectfully at the table. There were only three of them in the hall at this time, and the others had been sent out of the temple by Videlier not long ago.

Verdelier twisted his chin and frowned at the two Demon Realm creature samples on the table in front of him, and after looking at them for a while, he looked up at the two people standing at the table.

"What is the matter with the monsters mentioned in the military reports from the front that you have changed?" Videlier's voice was not angry, and his eyes were blazing.

Wayne and Vangellis glanced at each other, and after a brief eye contact, Wayne took a step forward, clenched his right hand into a fist in front of his chest and bowed: "Although the extradimensional rift that appeared outside Rosandi City this time is not big, but the demonic qi gushing out of it and the monsters that come with it are more troublesome than the previous large-scale extradimensional rifts, and the 30,000 armored soldiers led by the minister suffered heavy casualties, if it weren't for the Archbishop Vangellis who led the Holy See's Purification Priest Group to come to the rescue in time, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'll wait...... There is no chance of a complete victory. ”

After hearing this, Videlier frowned, stared at Wayne with a deep expression, and said, "What kind of variables have happened in this rift in another dimension? Where has Admiral Wayne's confident appearance gone?"

Wayne listened to Videlier's words, and his expression became solemn.

"Lone remembers that this time, the interdimensional rift was only more than 3 meters in caliber, and the 30,000 well-equipped armored troops led by Admiral Wayne and half of the priest corps of the Bright Sect were the troops that used to conquer medium-sized extradimensional rifts. Videlier said, looking at Wayne.

"The location where the crack in another dimension appeared this time is at the border pass of our country, so Lone Cai asked you to dispatch heavy troops in the hope of a quick victory, so as not to take advantage of the situation of neighboring countries. It's a good thing that you can't attack for a long time, and if it weren't for Bishop Vangellis leading his troops to support, he would have almost been captured by monsters. Half of the 30,000 armored troops have been lost, do you say that this time, you are worthy of your title as the number one general of Denos?, or is the Sword Saint Wayne already in the twilight of his hero?"

Hearing this, Wayne immediately knelt down on one knee, bowed his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The minister has failed in his trust, and he is willing to accept any punishment from His Majesty." ”

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Wayne's forehead, but his voice was still neither humble nor arrogant.

Videlier didn't continue to speak, just looked at Wayne with a very solemn expression, and at this time Vangellith stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, please listen to what Vangellis has to say." ”

Videlier nodded, and Vangelis continued: "This battle of Rosandi City was able to destroy the otherworldly monsters and seal the cracks of the other dimension, and there is no doubt that General Wayne contributed to this, and the reason for the heavy casualties was not General Wayne's fault. In the cracks of another dimension, there is indeed a change. ”

"Oh? Videlier asked, looking at Van Gellis's unfazed eyes.

"Carefully speaking, it should be something wrong in the demon world...... Vangelis's eyes lit slightly, "The reason why the Holy See established the Purification Priest Group is because light magic has a natural suppression effect on monsters, they are the nemesis of monsters, since the light element was discovered, human beings have developed various light magic, and they have taken advantage in the war against demons, and the purification magic derived from light magic is specially used to deal with demons." But this time, we were surprised to find that these monsters had actually broken the purification magic, and the suppression effect of the light element on them was far less significant than before. ”

"What did you say?" Videlier was shocked when he heard this.

Vangelis looked at the two monster samples on the table and said, "The two demon creature body samples on this table are similar in appearance, but they are fundamentally different. I will show Your Majesty the difference. ”

Seeing Videlier nodding, Vangellis stepped forward and stood still at the table, raising his hand to the golden light in his palm.

Level 4 light magic-Yangzhao,The most basic thing is that it is a very effective expulsion magic for monsters.,For ordinary otherworldly monsters.,This kind of magic can achieve an effective expulsion effect.。

"On the table is the tail of the largest and weakest monster in the crack of another dimension, the Terra Beast, please look ......at it, Your Majesty."

I saw that Vangelis approached the golden light in his palm to one of the severed tails, and the dull-colored monster stump shrank rapidly, like a fresh radish full of water quickly withered into a dried radish. And when Vangelis moved his palm to the other severed tail, the severed tail did not change significantly, and after waiting for about tens of seconds, the severed tail was only slightly wrinkled on the surface of the skin, and did not atrophy as obvious as the first one.

"The first severed tail was a sample collected for research a long time ago, and it was not supported by blood or demonic energy, and its reaction to light magic was more obvious. But next to this is a sample of monsters collected in the battlefield of Rosandi, compared to the past, light magic can no longer have an immediate effect on it. I believe that His Majesty has already discovered the clues. ”

Videlier looked at the ukiyo-e painting on the wall of the hall with a heavy face, the corners of his mouth pulled down, his cheeks twitched slightly, and then he spoke in a deep voice: "Monsters have developed resistance to light magic. ”

The atmosphere in the hall became oppressive, and after a long silence, Videlier sighed and said, "General Wayne, please get up, it is this king who blames you." ”

Wayne stood up and said, "It was the minister's lack of adequate preparation that led to the death of so many soldiers in the army, and I, as their commander, am ashamed of their relatives at home." ”

Videlier raised his hand and pressed it down to signal that he didn't need to say much, and then Videlier rubbed his forehead lightly and said: "The sacrifice of soldiers in the war is also inevitable, this time we have planted our heels, it seems that this invasion of the demon world is fully prepared." It has been more than five hundred years since the last time interdimensional cracks appeared frequently on the continent, and during this time, human civilization has developed rapidly, and I didn't expect the demons to be far behind. They have the resistance to light magic, and they don't even show it, but they just release the same ordinary monsters as before to disturb the continent, which is confusing us......"

Videlier twisted his beard, his eyes cloudy: "Demon creatures have been infesting this continent for thousands of years, and they are so happy to invade us, what do they treat us for?!"

There was a hint of anger in Videlier's tone, his eyes like that of a lion in battle after a territory had been violated.

"Your Majesty, as long as I, Wayne, don't die for a day, and the Cretan family doesn't fall for a day, we will definitely fight the demons to the end for the sake of the country and the prosperous continent under our feet. Wayne said with a determined look in his eyes.

Vangelis also spoke in a calm tone: "The ancestors reorganized the Bright Sect before their deaths, and traveled around the continent to work hard in order to resist the demons and guard the peace of the continent. The demon invasion, our Bright Sect will definitely bear the brunt of it and sacrifice bravely. ”

Videlier nodded and looked at the two people standing in front of him, and said in a relieved tone: "There are two guards in the Denos Empire, and I really have a lot of worries about loneliness. This time Rosandi battle, it all depends on the cooperation of the two to repel the demons again, and the two have the greatest credit. In this triumph, Lone must reward the two and the soldiers who went out to fight, and will properly compensate the families of the martyrs who died on the battlefield. The two heroes also went back to their homes to recuperate, and they will be rewarded in a few days. ”

Wayne and Vangellith said "Thank you, Your Majesty" in unison, and then exited the hall together, leaving Videlier alone to stare at the Guardian Demon Diagram on the wall for a long time.
