'What else?' Ellie didn't even look back, and said coldly.

'You... Take care...'Actually, I had something to say, but after hesitating for a long time, I popped up with such a sentence.

'Got it, can you let go?' Ellie's tone was cold and ruthless, as if she was talking to a stranger, and for some reason I just felt a chill in my heart when I heard her words, and I grabbed her hand and unconsciously let go...

'Don't worry, it's the path she chooses...' Watching Ellie's figure slowly disappear into the horizon, the princess came over and patted me on the shoulder, comfortingly.

Yes, this is the path she chooses by herself, and others have no right to interfere at all, so although I have all kinds of reluctance in my heart, I can only silently wish her good luck, but at that time I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon.

The City of Five Kings, it is said that it was built a thousand years ago, because of the convenient transportation, there are many dynasties in history to take this as the capital, especially the five 'virtuous monarchs' headed by Gregory I are the most famous, so it is named the "City of Five Kings", even if it is like today's chaos, the four seas are falling apart, it still has become the capital of the Kingdom of Borrell, looking at those old mottled city walls, you seem to be able to feel the rise and fall of this kind of city for thousands of years, we did not rush to find Ellos after entering the city, After all, it's been so long since the last time we saw each other, and God knows if anything will change, so we first found a humble little hotel to stay in, and then we started asking around, but we learned something very interesting...

'Hey, did you hear that?' Yesterday another girl went missing in the West Side?'

'Wouldn't it?' There have been three of them this month...'

'It is true that one of my neighbours passed by this morning, and saw with his own eyes that the girl's parents were all going crazy, and the scene was exactly the same as the previous times, and there was no sign of a fight, and I heard that the sheriff had already been there.'

"Besides, I've heard that even the church and the wizards' guild have sent people, and everyone is now saying that the devil is doing it."

"No, it's been hard not to fight in the past two years, and I originally wanted to talk about a few days of peace, but now there is a demon again, don't you hear about it.'

"This time it's really not, just a few nights ago I was out drinking with a few buddies and coming home, on the way I saw a black shadow scurrying around the room, and staring at a few of us, those eyes were green and green, I almost didn't fall down in fright, and then two more figures came out from a distance, only to scare the monster away, and finally I saw the two people chasing it straight to the east, the speed was incredible.'

'Please, I think it's your kid who drank too much and made up nonsense, right? Last month you said you saw people flying in the sky with bat wings.'

"That's right, I could see clearly that night, a man and two women, they were all quite beautiful, why don't you believe it?"

'Pull it, last time you kid drank too much and couldn't even remember your own door, and in the end I sent you back home, this time you drank too much and looked at the wrong thing, yes, I don't bother to talk nonsense with you, or go back to see the two daughters in our family, if it is so bizarre and missing, the two of us have to cry to death, what do you say this is called the world... Alas~'

Seeing that everyone was dispersed one after another, I couldn't help but whisper to the princess beside me and bite my ear: 'Look at those three who can fly, they are...'

'Can't be wrong, Eight Achievements is a vampire.'

'Are they also here for Elloth?'

"Quite possibly, after all, he is the only clue in the world that can find you, His Majesty the Demon King, and it is not surprising that those guys will find you." Since leaving the Misty Forest, the princess began to half-jokingly call me 'His Majesty the Demon King', at first I was quite disgusted by this, but I had no choice but to mention a few times that Her Royal Highness the princess was dead or alive, and finally I had to give up resistance, I really don't understand how such a beautiful person can have such a strange fun...

'So those missing girls were given by them...' I couldn't help but frown at the thought of this, after all, that kind of thing was too bloody and cruel.

'Not necessarily...' the princess shook her head.

'Don't forget that strange shadow.'

'What do you think that would be?'

"I don't know, by the way, I should ask you about this, you are the demon king, aren't all the demons in the world your subordinates?"

I squinted at the princess, and the muscles in my face twitched.

'Ouch, angry again?' Don't care, don't care, it's just a joke.' Seeing this, the princess hurriedly greeted her, and she didn't know how many times she had said such jokes along the way, and she never tired of it...

'But seriously, you really don't know where that dark shadow came from?'

Seeing that the princess's tone suddenly became serious, I didn't care about fighting with her anymore, and said: "I don't know, the description of that person is too general, it is difficult for me to judge with such a clue, and now I can't be sure whether it is a demon or not, the man himself said that he saw two figures at the same time, maybe he was really wrong before..."

'It makes sense, in short, what can be determined now is that the city of the five kings is not peaceful, and we must find Ellos as soon as possible, so as not to have too many dreams at night.'

I had a discussion with the princess that even if we found the 'Squirrel Tavern' outside the palace, Al Rose had told me when he parted that if he wanted to see him, we would find Bob, the owner of the place, and we met Bob, a tall, burly middle-aged man with a huge scar on the left side of his face, who looked more like a gladiator than a bar owner. When we explained our intentions, the other party seemed very vigilant, couldn't help but look us up and down, and asked a series of questions, the tone was quite unfriendly, until I was forced to report his name, his attitude changed sharply, and immediately said that he would arrange for us, and then he left, leaving us both in the bar, maybe because the 'fugitive' had been for a long time, we subconsciously raised our vigilance, after all, who knows if this guy went to ventilate and bring someone to arrest us? By the way, my bounty has tripled now than it did at the beginning, and for the first time in my life I realize how valuable I am...

Thankfully, Bob came back after about half an hour, and he said that Eroth was now incognito in the palace and it was inconvenient for him to appear in public, so he had asked us to meet at the abandoned mansion north of the city at ten o'clock tonight. We were both skeptical of this, but now that we had come to this point, we could not turn back, so we had to nod our heads in agreement, and just as we were about to leave, the princess seemed to think of something and asked, 'By the way, I heard that you have been missing young girls lately, how much do you know about it?'
