Far away in Milan, Italy, somewhere unknown.

Everything in the spacious room looks luxurious and elegant, full of a certain classical aristocratic atmosphere, and in the dim light, there is a faint hint of some pink girly style.

The blonde girl lying on the side of the bed forcibly suppressed the anger that was stimulated by someone on the other side of the phone after being tired and running for a long time, and said in a low voice:

"That's right! We've had clues about it before, and it's only today that we've finally been able to locate him...... So, it's your last chance! Only with your firm refusal will we be able to ...... without deceiving Sarbatre."

"No, tell me the information."

A lazy voice came from the other side, directly interrupting Erica's words. And even through the phone, she could think of the faint smile that that guy might be showing at the moment.

“……”

“……”

Encountering this obviously unappreciative attitude, Erica only felt herself choked and couldn't spit out a syllable. Then, the disregarded beautiful girl closed her eyes and was silent for a second or two.

"Well, I hope you don't regret it, so you should prepare for it now and go immediately...... Come here in Milan and talk about the rest later! ”

Immediately after, she opened her eyes, gritted her teeth, and quickly said the last sentence, and then ended the call without saying anything.

It's hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words, since the other party doesn't appreciate it, she can't help it, anyway, this is a problem that has been expected a long time ago, and after confirming the situation, just enable the backup plan directly.

It's just that she was also a little resentful and decided to let go of the other party's pigeons...... I don't say when, when it is, whether I want to pick up the airport or not, etc., anyway, I will wait until everything is settled.

It took a few seconds to calm down, and then she rolled over and sat up, rubbing her face vigorously. He stood up again and walked to the floor-to-ceiling mirror next to the closet, and took a look at his appearance.

The dim light environment was not enough to affect her keen eyesight, and after seeing her appearance clearly, the blonde girl couldn't help but sigh-

"The dark circles are getting worse and worse...... I don't seem to close my eyes for a week, but is the main reason because of the stress during this time? It's disgusting......"

Immediately afterward, she reached out again and patted her face, then forcibly lifted her spirits, turned around and prepared to leave the room.

"Huh? Uncle, and Andrei the housekeeper......"

But as soon as she opened the door, she found two people standing outside the door, it was her uncle and Andre's housekeeper.

"Erica, how's it going...... Forget it, I can probably guess by looking at your expression. ”

The man, who was as young and energetic as a young man, with a sculpture-like upright face, full of intellect and temperament, and who looked like a statue of David just standing there, spoke, and then showed a wry smile.

"This is actually very normal, if that guy's thinking circuit is the kind we can understand, he won't let the alliance leader be so blue-eyed, I actually didn't expect him to cooperate from the beginning......"

Erica replied blandly, in a spicy tone that tried to restrain herself as much as possible, but couldn't help but be slightly sarcastic.

But the strange thing is that after a slight pause, she suddenly found that she was not simply venting her dissatisfaction, but really thought so from the bottom of her heart.

That's right, it should have been understood a long time ago, shouldn't it? That kind of person's thinking circuit is definitely different from that of normal people, this is a certain thing.

"Then let's go according to the predetermined plan, and we must not let the disobedient god solve the problem after causing great disaster and destruction......

Butler Andre nodded solemnly and said seriously.

"I'm not sure if the king will be able to get back in time, and I don't know if he will do, but if he does, we can only hope that the Marquis de Woban will succeed in catching up and stop the myth from happening this time."

"It should be possible to catch up, according to the targeted reconnaissance of our alliance's magic associations in various places, not only can it be determined that there is indeed a god appearing, but also his walking trajectory has been roughly locked."

Erica's uncle also sighed and said.

"All the places that can be confirmed to have been visited by the god of disobedience, when connected, are very obvious points, what he is looking for on one island after another, always haunting those ruins......"

"Looking for what?" Erica also became interested and asked.

"I don't know, it's pretty good that they can confirm the traces of the gods, is it possible to go up and ask?" Paul spread his hands, indicating that the question was still an unsolved mystery.

"Whatever the god was looking for, at least he hadn't found it yet, and though he didn't make any noise, his very nature meant that he must be the enemy of mankind."

Butler Andre shook his head.

"While we can now predict His course of action, this is the best time to intercept Him...... But the problem now is that it is absolutely impossible for a mortal to stop Him, and it is a question of where to intercept Him. ”

Erica's uncle, Paul, nodded, and added:

"There are two main problems, the gods will not give in specifically to our demands...... Also, the Marquis of Woban will not take the initiative to cooperate with us. ”

At present, the safest solution is to let the Marquis of Woban, who is also following the clues of the disobedient god, deal with this myth coming. Because people can't win against God, only the demon king has a chance.

And their alliance leader in southern Europe is still on the South American side, and I don't know if they will rush back, so the only thing left is to use the power of the Marquis of Warban.

But it is precisely because of this that their situation is very awkward, after all, they can use the power of the Marquis of Woban, but there is no way to ask the other party, let alone ask for the other party's help-

There is no doubt that they directly betrayed the "King of Swords", so they could only try their best to mobilize all kinds of organizations and manpower, and try their best to create opportunities for Marquis of Woban to kill gods through various arrangements.

But in the process, they can't come forward, let alone take the initiative to contact each other, to create a feeling that it's just a coincidence.

However, there is an aspect here that cannot be ignored, and that is that the gods do not care how much trouble they bring to human society, and the demon king ...... Neither will it.

Everyone wanted to try to put the battlefield on those remote and uninhabited islands, so that they could fight to the death and sink the islands.

It's a pity that this is not something they can determine with their own will.

Erica didn't care too much, in her opinion, there was nothing perfect in this world, as long as she could minimize the damage and let the god-level battle not take place in a big city.

However, just as she was thinking this, she suddenly felt a strange premonition, as if she had received the apocalypse at this moment, foreseeing the future.

It seems—

As she informed the guy who didn't know what to do and didn't know what to do, and asked him to come to Milan, it was already doomed?

…… It must be an illusion, right?

As she stepped outside, the blonde girl couldn't help but let out a long breath, then looked around, and then instead of feeling much lighter, she felt even more depressed.

The city of Milan looks like it's no different from before, except that a cold snap has hit and it seems like it will snow at any moment.

And the girl always felt that a storm that seemed to last forever was slowly approaching, and a terrible nightmare was also engulfing the city.

She shook her head vigorously, thinking that she was under too much pressure during this time, and she didn't rest well, and her mind was a little confused.

……

……

Williams Manor.

Firia was huddled under her covers, shivering, too frightened to breathe.

It was very quiet, and in the silence she could only hear her own ragged breathing and a pounding heartbeat.

Wrong...... What's wrong...... Something must be wrong!

Hallucinations, hallucinations. There are hallucinations that lurk in hallucinations, and hallucinations that are born out of hallucinations. A lie that lurks in the truth, a truth that lurks in a lie......

In fact, there is no truth in this world, and there are no lies, only facts that exist.

However, all things that exist in this world will only live by mistaking the facts that are favorable to them for being true. Because if you don't, there's no other reason to live......

It's just that Firia now seems to have discovered such a cruel truth.

The girl trembled in the darkness of the bed, feeling an incomparable fear, and she regretted that she had not turned on the light before, and now allowed herself to be subjected to such terrible torture.

When did this terrible phenomenon begin?

Probably from the moment she read the document, the invisible curse turned into a nightmare that she couldn't get rid of...... The previous feeling that the spies I sent out had obtained useful information, and the sense of accomplishment that my plan had succeeded had long since completely collapsed.

Wait, it looks like it's here again!

“……”

Feria suddenly bit her lip tightly and forced herself to hold her breath, and she faintly heard the voice—the source of her nightmare, reappearing at this time!

Outside the room, as if it were dark, there was a strange rhythmic sound in the corridor, as if it was the sound of heavy footsteps, and as if some heavy object was pounding on the floor, more like some one-legged thing jumping forward on the ground—

Knock, knock, knock......

At first, it was faint, but slowly from far to near, it was becoming clearer and louder, and it seemed to be slowly approaching her room.

The blood on Firia's face suddenly disappeared, and her whole body was weak. She repelled the proximity of the voice with great fear, but hopelessly tried desperately to capture its presence.

Generally speaking, this kind of movement should have attracted the attention of the other people in the manor, those maids, those bodyguards would have made a move...... But she knew that voice was only audible to her.

For others, this terrible phenomenon does not exist.

Knock, knock, knock......

The voice kept approaching, clearer, more pronounced, and seemed to be approaching in a very strange straight line.

The twists and turns along the way, including corridors, walls, rooms, etc., don't seem to stop it.

It approached with such a purpose, to the hallway outside the room, to the outside of the room, and—

Without any sound of the door opening and closing, he entered the living room outside Firia's room.

Knock, knock, knock......

And it didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, but continued to make its way to the bedroom.

In an instant, the girl's mind was blank in the bedding in the bedroom, and a violent tremor followed.

Each time, it will be closer to itself than before...... The last time it stopped in the hallway outside the door, and this time it actually came in?!

Knock, knock, knock......

The voice approached her bedside step by step, and then stopped at the bedside.

At this moment, it was completely beyond Firia's ability to bear, and she broke down and screamed, grabbed the quilt and waved it vigorously...... Then the next moment, the lights in the room suddenly came on.

"That...... What are you doing? ”

Her mother appeared at the doorway, looking at her daughter strangely.

"I ...... I ......"

Firia opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, the bright lights around her made her feel the aftermath of the catastrophe, her whole body was weak, her strength was completely drained, and she couldn't even cry.

However, her mother was obviously not so attentive at this time, but said very excitedly: "By the way, Firia, it seems that your father's final test has come!" Hurry up and pack your things, we're going to Milan to complete a mission......"
