Natalie walked for a long time to reach the obscured forest from the middle of the city's square. In fact www.biquge.info this dense forest was not new to her, because it was right around the Blecheno estate, where she lived.

Growing up, Natalie used to play around the forest, but never really went into the depths of the forest. In the deep mountains and old forests, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, covering the sky and the sun, making the forest look gloomy and terrifying, mysterious and unpredictable. The forest is eerie and almost uninhabited. Occasionally, someone who dares to break into it will get lost in the forest and lose its way, and there will be no return.

However, Natalie once heard that there was a hundred-year-old tree deep in the forest. It has a thick trunk, old and stout, luxuriant and covers the sky, with intertwined roots and a crown like a cloud. The cross side of the trunk was wrinkled, like the face of an old man in his old age. Some say it is a symbol of God and the origin of life.

Natalie glanced at the forest in front of her, and walked into the forest without any fear. She walked hard through the forest, from sunrise to sunset, and then entered the depths of the forest, to the hundred-year-old tree.

There was indeed a black carriage there, with two tall and mighty snow-white horses standing in front of it, and a carriage as dark as night behind it.

Natalie was a little frightened, but she was brave enough to get into the mysterious black carriage. Soon, the carriage took her to the dreamy castle. From afar there came beautiful music from inside the castle, but the music seemed extremely lonely and sad in the empty castle.

Natalie got out of the carriage and pushed open the door of the castle, and saw a man in the great hall playing the piano clavichord, but because it was night, she couldn't see him clearly. Natalie secretly guessed that he must be the owner of the castle.

After playing the song, it seemed that he noticed the abnormal movement on his body, and the black shadow stood up and asked loudly, "Who are you?" ”

His loud and powerful voice made Natalie shudder, and she timidly told him what she was doing and begged him to help him.

"Do you know who I am?" When the shadow heard this, he chuckled.

Natalie shook her head.

"I'm a demon."

"It doesn't matter who you are, I just know that you can save my lover."

Natalie's eyes widened as she looked at the dark shadow, even though she couldn't see him clearly in the darkness.

"You should understand that dealing with demons is an unwise decision." His tone was sarcastic.

"It doesn't matter to me whether you're wise or not, as long as you can save my love." Natalie said firmly.

After saying that, Natalie took out the strand of hair from her pocket, held it in the palm of her hand, and said, "This is my lover's hair, I hope you can save him." ”

The demon laughed, and the shrill laughter resounded through the empty hall in a terrifying and terrifying way.

"The terms of a deal with a demon are extremely harsh, because I only want one thing in exchange."

"As long as you can save my lover, as long as I have it, I can give it to you."

The demon stopped laughing and said, "I want your soul, but I don't want it now, I will take your soul when you die." Would you like to? ”

"Claim my soul?"

"Yes, when I take your soul, you will become a ghost, wandering around, unable to enter heaven. The fate of the lonely soul and wild ghost is more terrible than the lower eighteen layers of hell. ”

"As long as you can help me resurrect my lover, it doesn't matter if I have no life and no soul, I will be content with love in my heart."

The demon watched her in the darkness for a long time, silent.

"I think you also have love in your heart. You are far kinder than the war executioners outside the forest. Natalie said.

"Why do you think I'm kind? You should know that demons are the spokesmen of evil. ”

"I probably thought so before. But I don't think so now. ”

"Is it because you desperately want to save your lover and beg me for help that you deliberately flatter me?"

"No, I heard it from your piano. The music is lonely and sad, and it is clear that only sentient people can play it. If you are an emotionless person, a murderous person, how can you play such graceful music? ”

The demon didn't answer, looked at her deeply, and walked deeper into the castle. Natalie watched in amazement as his back disappeared into stone door after stone.

Natalie was a little disappointed, but she was not reconciled in her heart, and did not leave the castle, but stayed in the hall and waited for the demon to appear again. Sleepiness hit, and she fell asleep in the hall. Soon after she fell asleep, the demon came to her again.

The demon stared at her in her sleep, her blonde hair, her drooping head, her closed eyes, and her whole body illuminated by the moonlight that shone through the window. But he didn't wake her, and looked at her for a moment, and the demon left the castle hall again without saying a word.
