"Brother, that's where I live in front."

The little girl took Arthur out of the street to a quiet mountain village, where smoke curled and the villagers were welcoming.

At the entrance of the village, there is a pond with a little duckweed, and the pond is crystal clear, reflecting the towering mountains and the lush woods.

When you walk into the village, you can see the green rice in the fields, like an oil painting.

Being in it is like walking in a picture scroll.

"It's beautiful...... Arthur exclaimed.

He prefers the uncontested nature of the city to the bustling city streets.

It seems that this place can wash away all the filth in the heart, so that people can live in tranquility and live calmly.

"Well, I also think Sugar Gourd Village is beautiful, but ...... It's coming......" The little girl stared at the sky, her eyes full of fear.

Arthur also followed her line of sight, and saw that the sky was clear and cloudless, and the occasional bird and beast flew by, crying like a song.

Nothing terrible came.

Looking at the little girl again, I saw that the fear in her eyes was even worse, Arthur frowned and said, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

The little girl avoided his gaze and walked towards the middle of the village, worried, "No. ”

Arthur knew that she was perfunctory and didn't want to continue to ask, so he followed her into the village.

The houses in the village are all wooden.

The bright red pillars, hollow doors and windows, and the gray tiles made of mud, each piece of wood is just right stuck on the beams, building a unique wooden house.

The two of them walked along the way, and the little girl would greet an elder every time she saw her, and the adults would also respond enthusiastically. Occasionally, a child as old as a little girl would ask her how the sugar gourds were selling today, and she would smile and smile accordingly.

"It turns out that the little sister's name is Angela, this name is quite good, looking at the simple customs of this village, the harvest of grain and rice, the little sister should not be reduced to selling sugar gourds."

Although Arthur had doubts in his heart, seeing her happy appearance, he didn't want to ask, as long as she didn't look bored just now.

"Brother, this is my home."

Angela's home, like most houses in the village, looks new and tidy, with many flowers and plants planted next to the house, simple but chic.

In front of the door sat an old woman with gray sideburns.

When the old grandmother saw her coming back, she stepped forward to greet her with a smile and asked for warmth.

At this time, her parents also returned from farming, and when they saw Arthur coming, they immediately gave them a warm welcome.

While Angela's parents were busy with dinner, she sat on the threshold and stared at the sky worriedly.

"What the hell is she looking at?". Arthur knew that something would appear in the sky that would make her uncomfortable, and he sat on the threshold with her, staring at the sky.

When two plates of steaming, fragrant dishes were already on the table, there was no vision of the sky.

"Little sister, you don't have to worry about food and clothing at home, why do you still have to sell sugar gourds on the street?" Arthur asked.

Angela kept staring at the sky and said intently: "Our village is called Sugar Gourd Village, and in our village, there has always been a custom, that is, every child will hold a coming-of-age ceremony when he is ten years old, that is, he will sell the sugar gourd he made, so that he can be recognized by the villagers, and you will be treated as an adult in the future." ”

"So that's the case, so have you sold out of sugar gourds today?" Arthur looked forward to it.

"It's not sold out, there's still one last bunch left, and it can't be sold out anymore." Angela's voice was full of sadness when she said this.

Just as Arthur was about to ask her some questions, she saw an overwhelming black cloud quickly move towards this side, and in the blink of an eye, it was in the distance above it.

"That's ......"

"Here we are...... Here they are......"

Angela smiled wryly, as if she knew what the black clouds were.

After a while, when the black cloud was almost over the sugar gourd village, Arthur finally saw what the black cloud was.

"Monsters! It's all monsters!! ”

Shocked, Arthur subconsciously took the slashing knife from the storage stone, remembering that he had given the slashing knife to the stall man, and in a hurry, he pulled Angela and ran out of the village.

Angela was expressionless and let Arthur pull her, but she kept looking at her home, at her parents and grandmother.

When the monster arrives.

She saw with her own eyes that her parents and grandmother were devoured by monsters, and the screams of pain and the expressions of death were always fixed in front of her eyes, and they could not be removed.

And in the corner of the house, there is also Angela, she was invaded by a cloud of black gas, took control of her body, and became the same as the group of monsters, eating human flesh and blood, she ate more villagers than monsters.

That Angela is the same person she was thousands of years ago.

Angela has seen these pictures more than 100 times, but every time she sees this, her heart still hurts like pins and needles.

Let two lines of tears slide down her cheeks and drip down the blood-stained land.

It wasn't until she could no longer see Sugar Gourd Village that she came out of her grief.

"Brother, where are you going to take me?" Angela's words were not emotional, as if the arrival of the monster had nothing to do with her.

"Sister, don't be afraid, brother will take you to get a knife."

Arthur looked down at her, his tone protective.

Angela saw that his eyes were firm, as if even if the sky fell, he would help Angela carry it.

"Hmm."

Angela and Arthur looked at each other and smiled and nodded heavily.

"Time is like a ruthless knife, even if I often reminisce, I can't find the warmth of the original home, this is the first time I feel such warmth in more than a thousand years." She was in tears, like a lost child, who suddenly found her family, and firmly believed that after having a family, she would be happy wherever she went.

Arthur held her hand tightly, did not dare to let go, and ran quickly in the direction of the city.

"Roar~~~"

There were too many monsters, and the speed was super fast, in less than a minute, the overwhelming monsters had arrived, Arthur knew that he would not even have the strength to fight back, so he immediately stopped and hugged Angela.

"Ahh

The monster behind him bit directly on his back, tearing off a large piece of flesh fiercely, and the flesh was blurred.

But he still held Angela and didn't let go.

The other monster tore it off, directly tearing off his right arm, and blood splattered several meters away, but he still protected Angela and didn't let go.

Until, his head was torn off by a monster, and his body still maintained the posture of protecting Angela.

Angela smiled with relief and stepped out of Arthur's arms, yelling at the monster that was carrying Arthur's head.

"Get out!"

The monster instantly turned into ashes, and the moment Arthur's head fell, Angela caught it and placed it back on Arthur's body.

In this moment, all the images are condensed into Arthur's body.

Arthur opened his eyes.

"You...... It's a little sister! ”

Now.

The Demon looked at him affectionately, and everything around him was no longer Sugar Gourd Village, but the Ten Thousand Demon Cave.

The Nightmare nodded, but did not speak.

Then she tapped her forehead with her fingers, and a thumb-sized, crystal clear ball of light was grabbed by her fingertips and handed to Arthur who was spread on the ground.

"It's a memory ball, and she wants to show me her memories". Arthur took it and placed the ball of light on his forehead.

In an instant, there were more memories in my mind.

More than 1,000 years ago, Angela was attacked by monsters in the village of Sugar Gourd, and turned into a monster that was sometimes awake, sometimes unconscious, and thirsty for killing.

She grew up unconsciously, and eventually, she became extremely powerful, and after more than six hundred years of wandering, she found this deserted cave.

And summoned many monsters to the cave to keep themselves safe.

Ten years ago.

This place was discovered by the dragons and called the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons, which led to the arrival of Arthur and them.
