The next morning, when Owen returned to the shelter, Sophia, who was extremely tired, also rubbed her eyes and walked out of the last room for the wounded, and the two met around the corner.

"Owen, what did you encounter?" Sophia couldn't help but worry when she saw Owen's bruised face, cracked corners of her eyes, and scabbed blood at the corners of her eyes. She knew that Owen's strength was definitely not an ordinary enemy who could make Owen hurt, could it be that those demons turned back?

"It's okay," Owen waved his hand at Sophia, "Slippery in the snow outside, and I fell." ”

"Did you fall?" said Sophia, who was incredulous, and although Owen had a smile on her face, Sophia didn't think it was natural to look at it.

The place where the two met was a three-way street, and when Joyka walked in from the third direction, she happened to meet the eyes of the two. A subtle sensation arises at this fork in the road. Owen, Sophia, and Joyka were all slow to react, and they knew what was going on in their hearts at this time, but all three of them chose to tacitly agree. The three men stood silently at the three intersections, forming a strange equilateral triangle, and as the minutes passed, the three stood against each other, neither of them said a word, and no one moved a little, which produced a bitter and dull atmosphere around them, and also made the people who passed nearby feel extremely unnatural, and they all took a detour.

"Great, you're all here!" Cassius' excited call broke the awkward triangular dilemma. Cassius suddenly jumped to the middle, with a smile on his face: "Quick, Teacher Regunor is awake." ”

Reguno's room was full of people, and if it weren't for Elena's stubborn resistance, the doors would have been torn down. Everyone seems to regard Reguno as a savior, although no one knows whether this savior is reliable or not, but in this troubled era of precariousness, accompanied by death and tears every day, even the slightest hope can give great comfort to those who are struggling in the cracks.

Due to the special status of Sophia and others, the crowd automatically consciously moved out of the way. Upon entering the room, he saw Reguno sitting on the bed, his feet covered with the quilt, scooping a book and reading. Owen felt the "book" familiar. Instead of being surprised when he saw his companions, Reguno said the first thing he said when he woke up, in a habitual and natural tone: "Child, you're all here." ”

"Great, Uncle Reguno, I'm ......" Sophia was the first to pounce, burying her head in Reguno's arms, and coquettishly like a little girl.

"Okay Sophia, it almost took me breathless. ”

Hearing Regunor say this, Sophia let go of Regunor embarrassedly, and then gently wiped away her tears and asked, "Uncle Reguno, how are your injuries?" Although she had checked Reguno's physical condition with magic yesterday and found that there were no internal or external injuries other than the complete loss of magic and chronic malnutrition, she was still relieved.

"Mr. Reguno has already eaten corn soup, and his spirits have recovered a lot. Elena said.

Reguno then turned his gaze around the others, finally landing on Cassius. Cassius knew that the teacher was calling him, so he hurriedly walked up to Reguno and performed the etiquette of a student to the teacher.

"Don't worry too much, Ray's kid's life is very hard, he's still alive. Reguno said to Cassius with a smile.

"Teacher, you know?" Cassius blinked. He was still thinking hard about how to tell Mr. Sù about this.

"Just because I'm stuck in another space doesn't mean I don't know anything. Reguno nodded, and his companions automatically stepped back and stood in a line in front of Reguno's bed, "That day, I noticed that old fellow Kasenlov might go on a ritual to summon demons, and when I tracked him down to the basement of that annex, the magic ritual was in the middle of it. The old guy used a real Star Key and nine Star Key fakes to activate the summoning magic array, I sent out a giant fireball to attack the old guy, and the old guy also used lightning to fight back, when the two energies collided, the nine Star Key fakes shattered because they couldn't withstand our power, but the resulting space-time rift was deviated, sucking me and him into a strange space like a bottomless abyss. ”

With that, Reguno scooped up a glass of water and drank it, while the friends waited quietly.

"Unexpectedly, although the summoning ceremony was destroyed by me in the middle of the process, the demon's soul was still summoned from the demon realm, and Mephistopheles, one of the four Satans! Kasenlov suffered by himself, he was invaded by the summoned demonic soul, devouring his soul completely. Time passes much slower than in our real world in that strange space, almost a year has passed here, but I've only spent a little over a week there. During my time with Mephistopheles, the demon was constantly absorbing my magic, but it also gave me a glimpse of what was going on in his heart. Mephistopheles has been influencing the present world with his powers, guiding some magicians to go berserk, and connecting with some of the followers here, the spiritual powers of the Majin Tong Guò, to manipulate their activities in the Snowy Federation. From this, I also learned about the state of the Snowy Federation, and all your actions in the Federation. ”

"I see. Cassius had a look of abrupt realization.

"Why didn't Mephistopheles just kill you?" asked Joyka.

"What do you mean? Do you really want Reguno-sensei killed?" Cassius glared at Joyka.

"Because killing me too early won't do Mephistopheles any good. Before Joyka could speak, Regunor explained, "When the demon leaves the Demon Realm, its power will quickly drain away. Although he took possession of Kasenlov's body and the old man's magic for himself, there was always a time when he ran out of money, so he kept me alive and used me as a source of mana. Just when he had absorbed all my magic, you rescued me. But you have released this great devil from this. ”

"Teacher, even if this is the case, you can't be saved from death. Elena said.

"I'm an old bone, and I'm ready to sacrifice. Reguno smiled.

"You've sacrificed enough," Sophia said, "and we're going to get you back no matter what." That's why we've been collecting Star Keys for most of the past six months. ”

"yes, what about Mephistopheles coming to this world, I was going to beat him up!" Joika shook her fist.

Reguno nodded with satisfaction for the children's concern, and at this time, he looked at Owen, who had not spoken: "Child, come here." ”

Owen walked up obediently. Reguno touched Owen's long hair with his hand and sighed, "It's been almost ten years...... When I learned that you had fallen off a cliff, I searched for you everywhere, and the next year came to no avail. I didn't expect that as soon as I was in danger, you would immediately show up to save me, and you would be so skilled. Child, a lot of unusual things must have happened to you, even the color of your hair has changed. ”

"Yes. Owen nodded, "I've spent all these years on the Island of the Dead. A lot of unforgettable things happened. ”

"Island of the Dead?" the others were surprised by the name Owen mentioned, and everyone knew what the island stood for. None of them had heard Owen mention his experience after he fell into the sea, nor did they know how he was related to the necromancer, but in retrospect, it seemed reasonable that when they re-met Owen that day, he was possessed by the Hellwarden Buyos.

"It doesn't matter where you practice, the key is that you can return safely, and I am worthy of Puternin's spirit in the sky. Reguno placed the book in his hand into Owen's hand, "Son, you've written this pretty good. ”

Owen looked at it and saw that the "book" was the notes he had copied from the National Library.

"The National Library has a very rich collection of books, and it took me a lot of time to sort out such a small amount of information. It's just that I didn't see it in the library about the perception of the Force. Owen took his notebook, "The demons in their original world, rely on a mysterious energy called 'Force' to survive, the higher the demon relies on the Force, the greater the dependence on the Force, after coming to Olopa, the demon will become weakened by the loss of the supply of the 'Force', but the lowest goblins can survive in Olopa for more than 2,000 years because they are not dependent on the Force." During the Demon War, the reason why the demons were so powerful was because they relied on 10 Star Keys to keep the door of the Demon Realm open, so that they could receive a steady supply of Force. ”

"Hmm. It seems that the investigation you did was quite in-depth. Reguno nodded, "Mephistopheles absorbs the magical energy of human magic, and uses guò bugs to reside in the head of creatures to obtain the energy of life, so as to maintain his own existence in this world, but these energies have never been able to fully replace the Force, at present, Mephistopheles's strength has been weakened to the extreme, if there is no supply of the Force, I am afraid that his soul will disappear in this world." That's why the Star Key is so important to Mephistopheles. ”

"I have a question. Cassius raised his hand like a student in class, "If Mephistopheles is weak now, why can he still control so many demons? ”

"Because there's Gais. Owen said.

"What's Gais?" asked Sophia.

"Gaisce is a forbidden oath from ancient times. "Mephistophelestonguò Ghaith made a contract with his followers, creating a powerful coercive magic that made it impossible for the signator to resist the demon or disobey any orders given by the demon. ”

"It's not entirely impossible to disobey. Owen added, "Any order given by Mephistopheles must be carried out by the demons, but in the process of execution, those demons can do tricks. This is the case with Waco Stanley, for example. ”

"Don't mention the old fellow!" Joyka said with hatred, "for believing in him so much, this complete lackey!"

"Seeing is not believing. "Without his help, we'd have been wiped out." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

So Owen told him about his encounter with Waco Stanley in the National Library. After speaking, Owen said, "Waco Stanley can pass the last illusion to tell me what he has encountered." Two months ago, Waco Stanley was attacked during a search for supplies. ”

"That's right. Elena said, "There were 10 Battlemages with Waco Stanley at the time. By the time I arrived, all 10 Battlemages had died, and Waco Stanley had both feet wounded and crippled, at least as I saw at the time. According to his own words, he met an illusionary demon he had never seen before, but he didn't expect that the so-called illusionary demon was himself. ”

"Actually, before that day, the Waco Stanley you saw was real, and he was by no means a slave to Mephistopheles in the first place. It was the Worm Demon who attacked him that day, and his body became like that under the bite of the carnivorous flying insects. Before he lost consciousness, he begged the demon to survive. Mephistopheles heard his plea and ordered the Worm Demon to stop his attack and make a pact with him. Waco Stanley was able to use greatly enhanced illusions with impunity, and in return, he became an illusion demon, monitoring the current situation in the Vault in the form of an illusion. Speaking of which, Owen looked at Elena, "In addition, he was afraid of your power, and he did not dare to act until Cassius and the others arrived, and Waco Damli broke you away on the pretext of sending you to lead the way." In order to facilitate the insect demons to attack the shelter and take the children captive. Of course, these were Mephistopheles' orders, and Waco Stanley, bound by Geis, simply couldn't refuse. ”

"In any case, it is an indisputable fact that he killed 300 people. If he didn't want to do things with the devil, he wouldn't have begged for his life from the devil in the first place. Sophia was indignant.

"It's infamous, but he has to. Only when he is in the enemy's camp will he have a chance to help us. Owen said.

"Cut! I would like to know how he helped. Joyka spat at the mouthful.

"From the beginning of the appearance of the succubus demon Devi Durmanman, it was a trap to seal the magic of Elena sister, kill us through the sneak attack of Dewey, and then snatch the key of the stars from us. Mephistopheles thought that the conspiracy was very well arranged, but she did not expect to be accused of me by the magic of Waco Danli. If it hadn't been for that, I wouldn't have been able to get there in time. Owen said.

"Could it be that Dewey's sudden appearance is also because of your connection?" asked Cassius.

"That's right, I killed Waco Stanley at that time. ”

Hearing what Owen said, everyone gasped in unison, fortunately Di Wei was exposed in advance, otherwise Di Wei would not have turned back until his partners were unprepared, but he was afraid that everyone's lives would have to stay there.

"In addition, Waco Stanley told me something of great importance. ”

"What is it?" asked everyone except Reguno.

"The real reason Mephistopheles kidnapped children and invited us to the northernmost tip of the Snowy Federation. ”
