Dante rode the Black Wind and carried Ash and her parents' corpses back to Demon King's City. He ordered Gad to bury Ash's parents in the cemetery on the edge of the courtyard of Demon King City, and then carried Ash to a small bedroom on the second floor, where she could put her on the bed and let her sleep well. Aunt Coffeemaker sprays Ash's bedroom with a relaxing perfume and then works with Gad to change her dirty clothes so it's fine.

After Dante finished arranging, he sat down at the table in the hall, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, I could finally sit for a while, I didn't expect so many things to happen. He saw Gad push open the hall door and walk in, so he asked, "Gad, are Ash's parents buried?" ”

Gad nodded and said, "Master, you have done a good job, the shadow elves are the most stubborn, they have always thought themselves to be the embodiment of justice, and they always kill innocent little monsters and little demons. If that village is not removed, it will be very troublesome in the future. ”

Dante listened to him, thought for a moment, and asked, "Well, what kind of profession is a demon hunter?" An elven warrior who specializes in killing demons? Is that right? ”

Gade nodded, sighed, and said, "Actually, there are many things in this world that have been artificially distorted. Demon hunters were originally warriors who were selected by the elves to fight demons in ancient times. The demons of ancient times are completely different from those of us today. At that time, the Star Ocean was still a chaotic place, all the continents and islands were combined, and the demon legions ruled the entire continent. ”

At this point, Gade beckoned to Dante and said, "Master, please lend me the magic map." Dante handed it the magic map.

Gad opened the map, laid it on the ground, and then recited a spell that he couldn't hear clearly, only to see that the map began to change, and the continents and islands of the Star Ocean above began to gather together to form a huge continent.

Pointing to the continent, it said to Dante, "The elves are a very ancient race, they have existed since ancient times. The ancient era was a very terrifying time, and all creatures were ruled by demon legions, including many weak monsters and little demons, who were brutally bullied and oppressed. ”

When Dante heard this, he said thoughtfully, "So, in order to resist the rule of demons, the elven clan cultivated demon hunters?" ”

Gade nodded and said, "That's true, the irony is that the elven clan at that time was not strong enough, and it was absolutely impossible to defeat the demon legion with demon hunters alone." ”

"Oh? Really? When Dante heard this, he said, "If my guess is correct, the elves must have managed to unite many other forces, even some weak demon races?" Right? ”

Gade smiled and nodded, and said, "Master, you are quite right. At that time, the elven race, with the demon hunter as the vanguard army, did everything possible to unite the forces of other races, and finally defeated the demon legion that ruled the continent, and successfully killed the leader of the demon legion, the ancient demon god. ”

"Ancient Demon God?" When Dante heard the name, he was very interested, so he asked, "According to my understanding, so-and-so ancient **oss and the like, usually resurrected." ”

Ged shrugged and said, "Who knows? It is said that the ancient demon god was very powerful, and the moment it was killed, it unleashed a devastating super magic that shattered the entire continent to pieces, causing the continent to scatter and drift in all directions, thus becoming what it is now. This super magic is said to be very terrifying and has all the magical attributes at the same time. That is to say......"

Dante saw that he was about to stop talking, and said, "Theoretically, no creature can defend against this kind of magic?" Can this magic kill any living being? Right? ”

Gade nodded, with a serious expression on his face, and said, "Yes." But these are just legends. At that time, the moment the Combine Army killed the Ancient Demon God, it was completely defeated by the Ancient Demon God with super magic, and a large number of elves and warriors of other forces were killed. Those who survived, the body developed some kind of sequelae. This sequelae has been passed down from generation to generation in their offspring. ”

"What? Sequela? What do you mean? When Dante heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Is this sequelae a disease similar to a mutation?" ”

"No, it can't be said to be some kind of disease, it's not easy to describe." Gad showed a very worried expression, and stepped on the map on the ground with his foot, only to see that the map began to shatter and scatter, and then slowly turned into the current Star Ocean map.

He pointed to the Xiyue Continent on the left side of the map and said, "Most of the elves in the ancient era lived on this side of the Xiyue Continent, and after the Ancient War, they returned to the Xiyue Continent to continue living. As for the other races, some went to the Dongyang Continent, some settled on small islands, and some also went to the Xiyue Continent. The so-called sequelae show different symptoms in each race. ”

At this point, Gad stepped on the map with his foot again, and a small monster that looked like a frog appeared on the map, standing on his legs, holding a small stick, dressed in clothes made of leaves and fur, staring at a pair of big eyes, looking back and forth from time to time, which looked very funny. Gade pointed to the frog monster and said, "Master, whether you believe it or not, this frog monster is actually the ancestor of human beings in ancient times. ”

Dante was actually mentally prepared, but he was still amused by this human ancestor and said, "Keep going." ”

The frog monster on the map walked forward, walking, growing taller, and then the head slowly grew larger, and then the neck also grew, and the facial features on the face gradually moved to the front of the face, and the gills behind the ears also disappeared. In the end, the frog monster completely transforms into an adult human man.

Gade pointed at the man and said, "The evolution of frog monsters into humans is the sequelae of super magic. This sequelae is peculiar and seems to have an upside-down catalytic effect. Some of the weaker races gained the power of evolution and began to become stronger, while some of the stronger races gradually lost their original strength. ”

"Slowly losing power?" When Dante heard this, he hurriedly asked, "According to you, the elves of the present are much weaker than the elves of ancient times?" Is that what it means? ”

Gade nodded and said, "Yes." In ancient times, the elves actually had a very powerful power. I think that if there were no demon legions, the elves would probably have become a second demon legion at that time. ”

“……”

When Dante heard this, he seemed to understand what Gad meant, but he still wanted to ask: "According to what you say, the elves are actually a mixed race, and there are all kinds of birds when the forest is big, right?" ”

Gad nodded and said, "Yes, the Shadow Elves are a good example. At that time, there were many races that followed the elves to fight against the demon army, such as frog monsters turned into humans, and many other races mutated, some became orcs, some became possessed ghost form monsters like Aunt Coffee Pot and me, and there were also humans like you, who were born with strong magical powers. ”

"Oh? Oh, I see. Dante laughed and said, "It's funny, and continues." ”

Gade stepped on the map again, and a small dwarf and a tall thin man appeared on it, both with green skin, Yuan Yong took a look and found that this was not a goblin and a troll?

Gad pointed to the goblins and trolls and said, "Master, look at the goblins and trolls, they both have elven ears. Goblin and Troll ancestors appeared after the Great Ancient War. I suspect that these two races are actually elven races that have been affected by super magic and caused their offspring to mutate. ”

“……”

Dante heard this, remained silent, waved his hand, and motioned for Gade to continue.

Gade continued: "Goblins and trolls are simply two extremes. Goblins are very intelligent, good at inventing machines, make their lives comfortable, and are very good at business, but they have no interest in magic at all. Trolls are a race that is not only willing to live in a primitive and barbaric tribal civilization, obsessed with all kinds of strange magical research, but also very hostile to foreign cultures, and often clashes with other races. The elves are caught in the middle, on the one hand, they pursue a noble and elegant life, and do not reject all kinds of cultural technologies, and on the other hand, they like to study all kinds of magic. ”

Dante listened to Gade's explanation and said thoughtfully, "Oh, in this way, these three races do have some strange connection. ”

Gade nodded and said, "The main problem of the elven race now is that they have a large number of ancient materials in their hands, which should record the information on the powerful power of their ancestors, but they can't grasp these powers now. This includes how to train Demon Hunters. The Shadow Elves are an offshoot of the Elven family, and in ancient times, Demon Hunters were chosen from the ancestors of the Shadow Elves. Since the Ancient War, the Xiyue Continent and the Dongyang Continent separated, they have been trying to cultivate demon hunters, but they have never succeeded. ”

"What? What did you say? You wait a while......" Dante was taken aback when he heard Gad say this, and hurriedly asked, "You said that the current shadow elves can't cultivate demon hunters?" Are you serious? ”

Gade nodded and said, "It's true! The current Shadow Elves no longer possess the power of their ancestors. With the methods recorded in ancient books alone, the cultivated demon hunters will definitely become demons, and they are similar to the very ferocious demons in ancient times. ”

"......" Dante was shocked into a cold sweat when he heard this, he thought of Ash, remembered what the old elf said in the square, and felt a chill on his back.

"Master......" Gade seemed to see Dante's thoughts, and said, "Master, you have definitely made the right choice to save that elf girl......"

"Ahh

While the two of them were chatting, there was a sudden scream from upstairs, it was Ash!;
