The journey to Elba City is not very close, this trip, Ms. Milan and her team members did not travel, but Teacher Luna with the principal's handwritten letter, and Mr. Emerson, Teacher Alessi, Vincent and Alver five people, taking into account Alfer's situation and the state of the horses, the principal planned to travel lightly, move quickly, and arrive in Erba City in three to four days, without sleeping bags and utensils, even dry food and water were carried in the minimum amount, and rest and supplies all depended on the villages or settlements they passed through.

Unlike the grotesque or desolate villages and towns in the Terran territory that Elver had seen, the Demon Territory also had traces of the trauma caused by the Great Collapse - the ruins of various buildings- But the life of the demon people seems to be very peaceful and peaceful, along the way you can see large neat fields with farmers working peacefully, there are clean hunter huts in the woods, and the county of Latta on the second night of departure is not as bustling as the town of Mirama, and there is not even a drunk in the tavern where they temporarily stay, and people are only keen to have a drink, talk and go home.

The resentful banshee who possessed Alph didn't make much of a move, it seemed that after bringing the amulet given by Carl, the banshee was tired of torturing Alph too much, and the unfortunate thing was nothing more than biting her mouth while eating, and knocking her leg while walking;

"To prevent the day when the wear is too bad," Vincent said, "it does so much, but it looks too sturdy." ”

Alfer tried to get more about the demons from Vincent, Vincent only remembered a few customs and legends, because he had lived in the royal family of the demons since he was a child, he knew very little about the lives of ordinary people, and because he was afraid of killing his mother's second uncle, he almost hid under his father's former subordinates and refused to go out, "It is better to read a book," Vincent said, "Any related book is more detailed than I remember." ”

In the early morning of the fourth day, the group finally arrived in the city of Erba.

The villages and towns of the demons seem to be very laxly guarded, the gates are open, no matter where or at what time, the guards will never stop the passers-by, poking them in place like wood, if they don't blink, Alph will almost think that the guards of the demons are dummies.

"I may not remember anything else, but don't mess with the demon guards," Vincent, who wore a hood and covered himself tightly, reminded Alph in a low voice after listening to Elf's feelings, "The demon guards don't care what the reason for the people who provoke them, many people who cause trouble have broken their arms and legs nine times out of ten before receiving the real punishment, and those who can stand on the judgment seat are lucky." ”

"Why do you remember this so clearly?" said Elver, curious.

"Before the accident on the mainland, as mentioned in the book, there has always been a dispute between the orcs and the dragons, even if the dragons have been merged into the orcs, so there are often outcasts of these two races who become robbers and cause trouble everywhere, I saw it once at the scene of the relief of refugees in the Demon God Temple in Bieh, some bastards who cheated on food and drink tried to disrupt the relief scene, and I even picked up the teeth of one of these people on the VIP stage. Vincent said in a special whisper, "Actually, there is a saying in the demon race, 'Don't offend anyone, and don't be offended by anyone a second time', every adult will tell it to children, which is also a creed of life." ”

Thanks to the letter from the headmaster, the lord of the city of Erba received them, promising to send a team of twenty men and appropriate investigators to help find Hansa, the head of Diru Village.

However, the lord of the city did not look very happy, and came out to meet the people with a calm face and pajamas, and ordered a man who looked like a butler to prepare a place for Elph and them, and hastily glanced at the letter, talked to Teacher Luna about the help he could provide, and turned away.

The butler arranged everyone in the guest suite of the castle of the city lord, the suite was very large, there were eight bedrooms of different sizes, originally one bedroom for each person, but Vincent, after changing his pajamas, rushed to Elver's room with a pillow, and when he came out of his room, he saw Mr. Emerson, who was also holding a pillow and seemed a little embarrassed.

"I want to spend some time in the living room...... Well...... Drink some juice or something, I haven't had much of a taste all the way......" Mr. Emerson said.

"I'd like to talk to Elver," Vincent said calmly.

"Go, go, but go to bed early," said Mr. Emmerson, who seemed relieved, "to-morrow is the business." ”

"Yes sir, you go to bed early, good night, too. ”

Alph wasn't surprised that Vincent had slipped into his bedroom, in fact, he was about to run to Vincent's bedroom for a while.

Vincent threw the pillow on Elver's bed, lay down beside Elver and told him about meeting Mr. Emerson, "I don't know what Mr. Emerson is nervous about, but the traditional juice of the demons will not add sugar, and if you are unlucky, you will drink it very sour." ”

"Oh, you sometimes be reckless, so don't worry about it," Alver kindly reminded Vinson, then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, why do you have to wear a hood from the moment you enter Elba City?"

"I'm afraid of being recognized," Vincent said bluntly, "my second uncle's name is Lawson, and I don't think that I can easily let me go if he knows that I am back in the Demon Realm, and a fool knows that it is impossible for me not to take revenge." ”

"Then why didn't he kill you in the first place, and sent you to school?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you?" Vincent scratched the prickly heat on his belly from the leather armor, "My father had a very good friend and subordinate, his name was Abeli, and the people who sent me to the school were not only Uncle Lawson but also Abeli, and I insisted on sitting on horseback behind Abeli, staring at Uncle Lawson all the way. ”

"Does Abeli know that Lawson killed your mother?"

"I don't know," Vincent sighed, "I don't dare say anybody, and now that I think it's good that I didn't tell anyone, but I think that my insistence that Abeli send me with me and my way to Uncle Lawson at that time must have been seen." ”

"Who?

"No, it's the last Demon Emperor, my father's first younger brother, Emperor Hood. Vincent rubbed his face, "At first, when I resisted living with my relatives, he wanted to insist on taking me in, and beat me up for it, but then the queen became pregnant with my brother, so he and Uncle Lawson sent me away - probably because I also have the right to inherit, and I am a playful child - in short, he agreed that I would not live with them, and also agreed with Uncle Lawson to send me out of the demon territory, and even more agreed with Abeli and Uncle Lawson to send me away instead of Uncle Lawson and his men to send me away. ”

"I didn't expect you to be more than just an ordinary nobleman...... Alver was a little surprised, "you have the right to inherit! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm half-blooded, and the inheritance is just a gimmick that will make the country unstable. ”

"Isn't it dangerous for you to come with me to the Demon Clan?" Alver said, "Neither uncle wants to see you return to the Demon Clan, do they?"

Vincent was a little sleepy, and he tilted his head and said, "There is only one, Emperor Hood died in my second year at the school because of a fall from a height, and Uncle Lawson wanted me to go back to the funeral, but the headmaster refused." He rubbed his eyes and said to Alver, "I don't have the spirit to say this, let's go to sleep." ”
