The massive duel between the Red Eagle and the Iron Mage caused a huge crater to be blasted out of the ground. Flotra led me to the edge of the pit, but the two men were nowhere to be found. The only proof of their existence was the desolate sword that slanted into the ground and the iron mask that was left alone.

But my mind is not on them at this time. In the middle of the bottom of the crater, a ghostly portal appeared, and I smelled a familiar smell from it.

"Where does this door lead? Shall we go in? ”

The first time I saw something so magical as a portal, I was a little curious, and at the same time, I lacked a sense of security about the world behind the door. Flotra didn't care at all, she was the first to pass through the portal, and I followed her in.

The blue-purple light curtain touched my face without any discomfort, just as if I was walking through water. As I continued to move forward, I emerged from the curtain of light, revealing a quiet valley at night.

The light illuminated a path in the darkness, and Flotra led me along the way, to the misty river, and boarded a small boat. As the river goes deeper inward, countless tables are set up along the river, and the guests are drinking and singing with their glasses, which is a happy scene. At the end of the river, on an island in the middle of the lake, the host of the dinner party waits for him.

Flora walked to her master's left hand seat first, greeted politely and took her seat. I sat on his right hand side as Flora did, and looked at him secretly.

The sharp Didra armor hung tightly over his body. The dark skin was painted with blood-red lines. The four Didra horns sticking out of his head clearly identified his identity as a demon from the Annihilation Plane. The eyes that glowed with a strange red light made me feel familiar. I thought about it and tentatively called out a name.

"Sam. Keiwen? ”

"That's my pseudonym in the mortal realm." The demon man elegantly raised his glass and took a sip, slowly correcting my salutation, "And here, my name is Sangeen." ”

……

Steamed goose, salmon with delicious meat, and roast turkey with a belly filled with creamy creamy licorice...... I have been through too many turmoil today, and I am exhausted and have not been able to resist the temptation of good food, and I no longer care about any etiquette. Lying on the table, he happily satisfied his appetite. The king of Didra, who was in the chair, sipped a mouthful of poppy wine and smiled without saying a word. Flotra was also at my table, bowing her head and not saying a word.

I ate endlessly, but my stomach was like a deep pit of dissatisfaction, and no matter how much I devoured it, I could not be truly satisfied. Then I remembered the identity of King Didra sitting before me, the demon god Sangien, who ruled over the indulgence and revelry.

I smiled awkwardly and put the cutlery down in my hand. Tidy up your appearance and sit upright. Sangeon didn't care about my faux pas. He waved his hand. There are even more exquisite dishes on the table: rabbit meatballs, thin slices of beef tongue, oyster platter, fruit pudding, green leaf wort...... I was dazzled by the abundance of flowers, and I resisted my restless appetite before I fell again. I politely posed my question to the host of the banquet.

"Dear Mr. Sangein, thank you for your hospitality, and I am grateful for it. If it's convenient, please let me know why you invited me to come this time. ”

"It doesn't matter, in my plane, indulgence and revelry are the eternal themes above all else," Sangeon did not answer me directly, motioning me to look at the smiling guests on either side of the river, "I would love to see you act according to my creed, as my believers do. ”

"What do you mean...... Do you want to develop both of us as your followers? Hearing the hidden meaning of Sangein's words, I asked suspiciously, "I don't care personally, but Flora is the prophet of the Holy Spirit di Bella, so she probably can't have anything to do with you, right?" ”

"It's okay, Namira's ring has solved this problem," Sangien touched Flotra's head lovingly with his left hand, "With your help, she has deviated from Andra's rules and thrown herself into the arms of Didra. ”

I turned to look at Flotra, and in the face of the care of the demon god who had been ill to her, she did not have any intention of resisting, but nodded meekly at meek.

Sangien continued, "As for you, you will be my spokesman, spreading my glory in the mortal realm. ”

"Huh?"

Sangeon's words caught me by surprise, and although I knew that there seemed to be something in me that he valued, it all happened too suddenly.

Seeing my puzzled expression, Sangein didn't explain anything, but extended his right hand to my chest. My coat had been taken off for other purposes during the day's fighting, and following Sangeen's point, I noticed that the tattoo on my chest had changed drastically.

The tattoo on my chest consists of two parts. The sapling tattoo has grown into a lush "towering tree", and the rosebud grafted on the branch by Sangein is now in full bloom, blooming with a bewitching and eerie blood-colored light.

I was about to ask about the changes that had happened to me, but Sangeon didn't seem to be just trying to point out to me, his right hand continued to reach for the roses painted on my chest, the last ...... Straight through my chest!

There was no bloodshed, no injuries, it was like a hallucination, but what happened next was jaw-dropping. Sangien clenched his hand, then pulled it out, and then a stick was pulled alive from my body. I watched dumbfoundedly as the spine or rib or something else was pulled out of my chest, and I did not dare to move, for fear of any accident, until the stick had been completely pulled out by Sangein and placed in my hand.

It's a vibrant wooden staff, with a blood-red rose carved on the top of the staff, which is delicate and lifelike!

"It's ...... A gift for me? ”

Sangien nodded, "As a more generous king than Namira, my spokesperson should have a decent token. ”

"Thank you...... thank you," I looked at the staff carefully and asked him again, "Does this staff do anything good?" ”

"When you hold the 'Blood Rose', my strength will be with you. On top of that, you can get help from this staff when you're in danger - but doing so will cause the roses to wither. ”

I fell in love with the brilliant colors and fragrance of the roses, and when I heard Sangeen's explanation, I quickly asked him, "If the rose has withered, how can I bring it back to life?" ”

"It will draw on the desires of mortals as nourishment."

"How do you get it to absorb?"

"You'll understand in the future."

King Didra seems to be a bunch of people who don't like to finish their sentences, so I guess that makes them look more aggressive...... In short, since Sangien had already answered in this way, there was no need to ask any more questions. I looked away from my staff and nodded my head to show that I understood.

At this moment, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of a strange scene, sitting opposite me, Flotra, I don't know when Lu Dao turned into a strange woman with peerless beauty!

No, it's not unfamiliar, but I still have a trace of an impression in my memory. In Sangeon under the pseudonym "Sam. "On the night that I was led to Rich, wasn't this what Flotra, lying on the altar waiting for the ritual to begin, was it not in my eyes that the feast of the Raven Ghost Lady had not been interrupted by the intrusive Delphin?

Realizing that the woman in front of me was none other than Flotra, I again asked Sangeen for an explanation, "What happened to Flotra?" ”

"When you hold the 'Blood Rose' in your hand, my power will pour out of your body and attach itself to every mortal around you who has desires in their hearts. Cute little Flotra is now my prophet, so she will also be more sensitive to the power of the Lord of Desire. ”

As elegant and refined as a hollow valley orchid, and as bright and moving as a hibiscus out of the water, the two completely different temperaments from Andra and Didra blend together, making her look charming. The woman's pink cheeks flushed slightly under my gaze, which made me hastily withdraw my slightly aggressive gaze.

The "Blood Rose" was inserted back into my chest and turned into a gorgeous flower blooming on the branches, and Flora reverted to the youthful form of a little girl. To cover up the faux pas, I coughed and asked Sangeen the question again.

"What has happened to this sapling other than the roses you planted?"

"Your arrival has brought Kena's followers back to life from the threat of the Crow Ghost Woman, and this is Kena's reward for you."

I nodded, gathering my breath around my chest, trying to stir the sapling into life. It's just that the movement of the sapling is a little too big, and as my heart beats vigorously, the unrestrained breath of life immediately spreads from the soles of my feet to the surroundings.

Several vines burst out of the ground from under my feet, nearly toppling the table in front of me. It was probably the saplings who sensed that I was eating, and the vines were unnaturally bearing all sorts of fruits: grapes, citrus, bananas...... There was even a freshly baked watermelon that broke the vine and smashed into a puddle of red slag with a thud.

Sangien plucked a cucumber from the vine and chewed it, while I held an eggplant that had just fallen from the top of my head. Uh, can this thing be eaten raw? ——
