Bai Xiaowen nodded in agreement.

Hurlbut handed the gold pocket watch to Bai Xiaowen, turned around and left the gate.

Bai Xiaowen looked at the old man's back thoughtfully. If it's just a notice, just send a guard over and you'll be fine. However, Hurlbut's personal visit shows that the shrine maiden Kailowen still has a very high status in Utu Town, similar to the existence of a spiritual leader.

"Why are you so wary of outsiders?" Bai Xiaowen said, "I think that through this pocket watch, I can already rule out my suspicion, I am not a demon." ”

The two guards seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Bai Xiaowen, but based on Bai Xiaowen's high charisma, they did not refuse to communicate.

"A few years ago, on the other side of the Black Swamp, there was a city-state called 'Kotsko,'" said one of the guards slowly, "Kotsko City is the last of humanity in the Black Swamp. But overnight, it sank into the ground, and almost no one could escape...... Some warriors tried to make their way to Ketsko, but found that it was like a labyrinth, and it was impossible to go deep. ”

Another guard said: "Since then, Ketskko has become the 'Forgotten City'. ”

Bai Xiaowen said: "None of the residents of the Forgotten City escaped?"

"It is said that sporadic survivors fled, and there are rumors about the reason for the sinking of Kotsko. One of the most recognized theories is that the city-state was mixed with a very, very powerful demon king, and it was this demon king who unleashed a terrifying spell that turned Kotskko into the Forgotten City. ”

Bai Xiaowen finally understood why the guards were so wary of travelers.

"What is the origin of this demon king?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

The guard glanced at Bai Xiaowen: "The Seven Demon Kings of Hell, you know, right?"

Bai Xiaowen: "I've heard of it. "He does know the Seven Demon Kings in the Big Pineapple (Diablo) game, but it is estimated that they are different from the Seven Demon Kings of the Dark Age Plane.

The guard said, "The demon king who destroyed Kotskko is named 'Rochelle'. This is a very special demon king, he likes to incarnate as a human form, travel in the dark continent, and observe humans. His temperament is temperamental, but whether he is happy or angry, the gathering point of human beings whom He regards as the object of observation will inevitably be destroyed by Him. The city of Kotsk is just one of them. ”

Another guard added, "'Rochelle' is still so terrifying that people like to call him by the nickname, 'The Thinker.'" ”

"Thinker......

Bai Xiaowen noticed the pronoun "he" used by the guards, which showed that the guards had regarded the demon king Rochelle as a god-like existence.

And the pronoun "thinker" is a proof of the high intelligence of the demon king Rochelle.

But......

Bai Xiaowen opened his mouth and asked the doubts in his heart: "Why are you so familiar with the Demon King, where did you know his name, his information and nickname?"

Bai Xiaowen didn't believe that these people had all seen the thinker.

The guard said, "Don't you know, some humans believe in demon kings and worship them as gods, hence the 'Sect of the Old Gods'. All the rumors about the Demon King came from the Old God Sect. Isn't there a sect of the Old Gods or a similar sect among the Kata?"

Bai Xiaowen shook his head.

He thinks that the humans who believe in the Demon King in the Dark Age are probably Stockholm syndrome patients. Actually, this is quite normal.

After chatting with the two guards for a few more words, Bai Xiaowen also learned some information about other demon kings.

For example, the demon king Ismen, known as the "King of Silver", is the demon king who likes to organize armies, wage wars, and enjoy the fun of war among all demon kings. The territory under his control is a paradise for a few demons who yearn for order, and of course the hell of the most suffering of mankind.

It is worth mentioning that the Black Swamp, including the town of Utu, is the sphere of influence of the "Silver King".

In addition, there is the demon king Nebroz, known as the "Tyrant", who is said to eat 200 cows a day, and his appetite will never be satisfied.

In the teachings of the "Sect of the Old Gods", Ismen, the King of Silver, Rochelle the Thinker, and Nebroz, the Tyrant, are known as the three supreme "Old Gods".

Humans who don't believe in the teachings of the ancient gods certainly regard these three as the most powerful demon kings.

In addition to the three "Supreme Demon Kings", there are four other Demon Kings, whose strength may not be as good as the Supreme Demon King, but the suffering caused to mankind is no less, if not more.

Bai Xiaowen chatted with the guards for a while, and saw Hurlbut, with a woman shrouded in black robes, slowly walking over.

"I'm talking about this traveler, who brought your father's relics and insisted on handing them to you. Hurlbut said.

The black-robed woman came to Bai Xiaowen and lifted her hood.

"You're Daphne Freval?" Bai Xiaowen took out the torn gold pocket watch and handed it over.

The black-robed woman's voice was slightly hoarse: "Please call me Kai Luowen." ”

Taking the golden pocket watch, the witch Kai Luowen's hand trembled visibly. This made Bai Xiaowen a little surprised, the witch saw the performance of the golden pocket watch, it seemed to be a little exaggerated.

Is there some secret in this watch? Or is it simply because she misses her father?

When the witch Kai Luowen confirmed the portrait and last words in the golden pocket watch, Bai Xiaowen was also observing this "last prophet of the Dark Continent".

The witch Kai Luowen had flaxen-colored hair and a sickly pale skin, probably because she had not seen the light of day for many years.

Her appearance is still very beautiful, like porcelain, with a fragile sense of delicacy.

Judging by her age, the witch Kai Luowen should be over twenty-five years old.

This shows that the portrait of the little girl in the pocket watch of her father, Ebin Freval, should have been left more than ten years ago, nearly twenty years ago. Bai Xiaowen looked carefully, and he couldn't see any similarities between the witch Kai Luowen in front of him and the little girl in the portrait, so he could only say that the eighteenth female college had changed.

Soon, the shrine maiden Kai Luowen confirmed it.

She took a deep breath, still making out the white fingertips and trembling fingers.

"Excuse me...... Did you discover this pocket watch yourself?"

Bai Xiaowen nodded.

"Didn't someone else pass it on to you?"

Bai Xiaowen was a little strange, and the witch Kai Luowen was a little too solemn.

Still, he nodded, and said, "This is what I found from the corpses of a group of demonic hunters. Unfortunately, I think one of the demon hunters is your father. ”

The witch Kai Luowen suddenly took a step back, lifted her skirt, and knelt down in front of Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen was a little confused in an instant, do you want such a big gift?

However, the witch Kai Luowen's next sentence made Bai Xiaowen even more confused:

"Welcome to this land of suffering, great savior!"
