(Eyes!?) ）

Artevans suddenly realized that the eyes of the demon soldiers stationed at the pass were the same as those of Rusa. There is one problem that he has always overlooked, and that is the peculiar pupils of the demon race.

"Lord Artevans, MONOCULUS......," Rusa whispered as she approached Artevans.

"Demon Eye, is that what the Demon Eye Pupil is called, I know." Artevans replied softly, and stepped forward.

"I'm sorry, because I've lived in the main realm for a long time, so in order not to reveal the identity of the demons, I used magic to transform the magic eye into the appearance of a human. I can't switch back for a while, so I hope you can understand."

Although Artevans was able to use the spells of the demons after retrieving the demon imprint, probably because of the prohibition, the demon bloodline in his body was not fully stimulated, so his eyes did not become the appearance of the demon eye.

"Transmogrification? Don't come to this set, unless you can prove to us that you are a demon, don't blame me for being unkind!" The soldiers stationed at the pass did not seem to accept Atfans' reasoning.

"Tsk......" Atfans smacked his lips, his face sank, shrugged, and waved his hand to summon a cloud of black mist.

The black mist bound the soldiers stationed there, and their faces suddenly became panicked.

"I'm sorry to make us wrong, you can get over!" As soon as Artevans struck, the attitude of the soldiers immediately changed.

"The ignorant have to pay some price, but I don't want to live in vain, and count your fate as great." Artevans said to the garrison with a straight face, then withdrew the black mist and led Rusa into Dimor.

Atvance did have the idea of killing in that moment, but reason prevailed after all.

It is dangerous for oneself to act recklessly in a strange place. This is the philosophy that Atfans has always adhered to, and it also makes him think twice before doing anything.

But what happened just now also made Artevans notice that the appearance of his eyes might cause some unnecessary trouble, so he used magic to compare the appearance of Aruba's pupils, and covered his eyes with a layer of change magic, so that his pupils were at least the same as those of the demons.

When I first entered Dimor, the surroundings were similar to those of Yellam, except that there were more buildings on the edge of the woods. But as Artevans continued along a road, the appearance of the main city of Dimor was fully revealed.

In terms of the scene, it is much more prosperous than the central part of Sepion, after all, the entire demon clan of the Dark Hell now lives here. From here, you can see the castle perched on a hill.

However, Artevans felt that Dimore City was too quiet.

"Dimor, it seems to be a little lifeless." Artevans looked at the demons who came and went, and their emotions seemed to be a little depressed, so he asked Rusha.

"I don't know ......," Rusha shook her head. She had also been away from here for a while and didn't know much about the situation.

"Well, I'll give you the task of asking what's going on, but I ask you to be able to speak fluently, not one word at a time." Atvance looked at Rusha and suddenly felt that this was an opportunity to develop her language skills.

"This ......" Rusha looked a little embarrassed, but she nodded anyway.

"First of all, express that you haven't been back in Hell, and then ask what happened, remember, in a fluent sentence." Atfan commanded Rusa.

Rusha was visibly nervous and walked a little stiffly.

"Please...... Excuse me, what happened here...... What's the matter, just from, I left...... For a while, not ...... It's clear.'"

Ai Rusha walked up to an old demon who was sitting at the door of the house and sighed, and said in a huff. Although it does sound a little uncomfortable, it is a normal sentence, not a word in the past.

(Sure enough, it still takes some time, but looking at her like this, huh...... ）

Artevans quietly followed Rusha a few meters away, and couldn't help but smile wickedly as she watched Rusha say a complete sentence with difficulty.

"Alas, it's not the right time for you to come back. I heard that Commander Dvoga will go to Trier's side tomorrow to negotiate with the necromancy, and it seems that the Demon King took the initiative to give some resources to the necromantic clan because he was afraid of fighting the necrons again. Our lives were already difficult, but now we ......

The old man of the demon clan didn't care about Ai Rusha's stiff tone, but sighed and said helplessly.

"Devoga, can't ...... World War I?' Rusha frowned.

"There seems to be a disagreement at the top, but His Highness the Demon King used his power to forcibly suppress those who wanted to fight to the death against the Necromancy." The old man of the demon clan replied.

(In other words, in fact, the demon race should have the strength to fight, but is it because of the demon king...... ）

Atfans looked down for a moment, and when he looked up again, he saw that Rusha had turned and tilted her head to look at herself, as if to ask how she was doing.

"It's not bad, it's a bit blunt, but at least it's done. By the way, the look on your face when you force yourself to say a complete sentence is really funny."

With that, Artevans turned and walked away, not paying any attention to Rusha's subtle expression.

————————————

After getting a general understanding of the current situation of the demons, Artevans found a traveler's cave to live in according to Rusa's guidance.

The Traveler's Cave is specially designed for resting and lodging when the demons of the main realm, that is, the continent of Ostia, return to the Dark Hell, similar to the inn of the human world. There was still a lot of treasure left from the Rice bandits, and the Hell's money was also circulated, saving Artevans a lot of trouble.

After finding a place to stay, Artevans left Rusa in the Traveler's Cave and walked around the city of Dimor on her own.

Looking at the somewhat heavy atmosphere of Diemore City, Atfans felt a little disappointed.

(Originally, the purpose of coming to the Dark Hell was to see if I could collect more strong people for my use, but now in this situation, I'm afraid it's a little difficult.) ）

The demons in the town are generally weak, and it is impossible to see that Artevans's magic eye is disguised, so even if the human costume that Artvance is wearing is particularly conspicuous, the demons on the street think that he is a traveler who has returned from the main realm.

The castle on the hill in the distance was of great interest to Artevans, who had an idea, if he could. But if Artevans really wants to do it, he'll need to plan it one step at a time.

"The old man just said that tomorrow is the day when the demon commander named Dvoga negotiates with the Necromancy, but I always feel that there is something strange."

According to Artevans' common sense, ordinary negotiations generally do not require the use of someone such as a commander-in-chief. He felt that he might be overthinking, but there was always a sense of foreboding in his heart.

"Let's go back first." Artevans looked at the bracelet that Rusa had gotten out of nowhere.

This bracelet is used to show the time of the Hell. Because the sky in Hell is always dark red, the time cannot be judged by the change in the sky.

In addition to creatures that have lived in the Underworld for a long time and can tell the time through experience, the bracelet used to display time is especially important for travelers or creatures like Artevans who have never set foot in the Underworld.

When Rusha first gave the bracelet to Atvance, she didn't say anything, as if she was a little displeased that Atvance had teased her earlier. However, with a little look at the bracelet, Artevans knows what it does.

Judging from the time displayed by the bracelet, it seems that it is not early, and Artevans also turned around and returned to the Traveler's Cave and went to bed early.

————————————

"Lord Artevans, please wake up."

Hearing what seemed to be Rusa's call, Artevans suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. The sudden movement made Rusa's body tremble, as if she was frightened by the suddenness of Artfans's movements, but her face was still very calm.

"Rusa, what's the matter?" Atfans rubbed his eyes, trying to sober himself up.

It was as if there was an invisible pressure in the Hell, which made Artevans wake up with a deep sense of exhaustion.

"Devoga...... of the team...... Already...... Here we go.' Rusha pointed out the window and said stiffly. Judging from Rusa's expression, it seems that it is already the second day.

Since Artevans ordered Rusa to practice using coherent sentences all the time, the same is true for Aruba to speak to Atvance now.

Rusa also knew that Artevans wanted to make herself fluent in a passage, so she did not refuse, and Artevans promised not to laugh at her.

Looking in the direction that Rusa was pointing, Artvance saw Dvoga riding a skeleton horse and leading a group of demon soldiers out of Dimor, accompanied by a strong man with flames and red skin.

"That's ......" Atfans was curious about that strong man, who could walk side by side with Dvoga, who was the commander of the demons with obvious ranks, and his status must not be low.

"Lord Ive, the Demon General." Rusha immediately understood what Artevans was trying to ask, and replied without hesitation.

The demons in the city watched Dvoga's team leave Dimor, their eyes full of mixed emotions.

Atfans looked thoughtfully at the departing team, as if he felt something strange, but he couldn't think of it for a moment.

After some time, as if suddenly realizing something, Artevans hurriedly said to Rusha, "Rusha, go to my inner space!"

"Yes." Rusha didn't quite know what Artevans had in mind, but she did so.

Once Rusha had entered his body, Artevans flew up to the roof of the Traveler's Cave as fast as he could, frowning and looking down at the town below.

Suddenly, several blue fireballs fell from the sky, hitting the streets of the town. The demons who were originally walking on the street suffered casualties due to the sudden attack.

"Kill them!" After the smoke from the fireball clears, a necromantic army appears on the street.
