Prologue 2 A Heavy Tragedy

The scorching breath on the Black Rock Peak was still roasting, as if every stone was steaming hot, but no one was shouting for heat at this time, because those who would be too hot were already dead.

Lubigon simply reverted back to his original demonic form, his chin became sharp and long, his ruddy face withered, two horns grew out of his head, and his shoulders were as sharp as two scythes. If such a hideous appearance was seen by Morse and the others, they would definitely be surprised, especially the pair of wings fluttering behind Lubigonde, which was completely a symbol of the devil.

Billet stared blankly at Lubigon to complete his transformation, which he had seen too much in the lower realms. "For your experiment, you specially hid your identity and occupied a piece of human territory, and it took so much effort to just breed a few dragons?"

In the face of the Demon Lord's inquiry, Lubignd couldn't help but answer, even if it was a secret he had been deliberately concealing, after all, the Demon Lord's strength was much stronger than him.

"Your Highness, this is no ordinary dragon. Luby Gonde's hideous face maintained a sly and smug smile, although the smile looked so weird, "This is Blackstone Peak, mortals think that the Lord of the Fire Demon sleeps here, Lagreth, but how can the Fire Elemental Lord sleep in the human realm? ”

"It can't be the one behind you, right?"

"No, of course not, I'm no match for Lagres. Bebiel interrupted, Lubigonde was not annoyed at all, after all, it was the Demon Lord, one of the Nine Grand Dukes of Hell, "The elemental lords are all followers of the ancient god Ark Yune, and I cultivate young dragons in their territory to use the breath of the flame elemental lord to hatch them, so that these hatched children can sneak into the fire elemental realm and explore the secrets of the ancient god Ark Yunn. ”

As he spoke, Lubigondra grew the corners of his mouth and showed a smile with a little madness, saying "a little" because he didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of Belel.

"The ancient god Ark Juin is the only god who knows the whereabouts of the all-knowing and all-powerful god Hel, and this secret must be of interest to everyone, right, Your Highness Belial?"

"I'm not interested!"

An extremely terrifying light suddenly shot out of Pillar's eyes, and the coercion of the Hell Demon Lord was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and the entire Black Stone Peak seemed to tremble, and Lubigonde, who was still extremely energetic just now, could only tremble in front of Bille, who was inexplicably angry.

Slightly reining his anger, Belle looked at the portal behind Lubigand, frowned and asked, "So, what is this?"

Suppressing the curiosity in his heart, Lubignd did not have the courage to ask why Belle was angry just now.

"Oh, this, this......" The fear on Lubigonde's face disappeared in a blink of an eye, and a playful smile immediately appeared, "This is a request for a contract, it looks like someone is calling me to make a contract with the demon." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Belier's expression and asked in a cautious tone, "Your Highness has never had this kind of experience, you have always been a dislike of human affairs. ”

Lubigon still didn't understand the purpose of Bellel following him to Blackstone Peak this time, and almost suddenly, Pita appeared in the Forta Root Territory and said that he wanted to follow Billegand to observe the human race. Naturally, Lubignd couldn't resist the orders of a demon lord, so by hiring a group of adventurers to clear the dwarves on Blackstone Peak and find an opportunity to portal to the fire elemental realm, he took Belel with him, at least from the performance along the way, it seems that Belel is indeed just here to observe the human race, as he said.

"Contract ......" Bellier stared at the portal, his eyes looked very deep, "why are humans always so stupid, don't they know that it is impossible to have a good result by signing a contract with a demon?"

Isn't that for you, the Demon Lord, to say...... Lubigon couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Who, then, is it who wants to make a pact with you, is it a careerist who thirsts for power, or a mage who doesn't know the heavens?"

Lubignd closed his eyes and sensed the voice behind the portal that summoned him.

"Like, it's a little girl. After discovering the identity of the summoner, Lubigonde's smile couldn't help but grow, "Moreover, this little girl seems to have a very interesting identity!"

As he spoke, he bowed to Belliel, looking solemn but a little playful.

"Then, Your Highness Beles, let me show you how we, Mana Branci, seek to steal everything from mankind through a contract. ”

He turned and stepped through the portal.

Periel, who remained on the other side of the portal, frowned deeply.

Lubigonde, who crossed the portal, did not hide his appearance at all, and directly exposed himself to the other party in front of the original appearance of the demon.

"Why did you summon me?" Lubignd shouted in a low, menacing voice as he stepped out of the portal, "Humanβ€”"

"Huh?" he looked around a little, and suddenly realized that the environment here was different from what he had imagined, not a deserted countryside, nor a dark underground secret room, but ...... What seems to be a room for an aristocratic maiden?

No, judging from the layout of the room, I'm afraid it's still a question whether the owner of the room can be considered a girl......

Lubignd sniffed with his high pointed nose, but fortunately to the demons, the smell of humans was quite clear.

He looked down and immediately saw a little girl standing in front of him, looking at him curiously.

Lubigon drew on his own years of life experience...... No, judging by demonic experience, this little girl should be at most eight years old, not even a girl, so her room is almost full of childish rag dolls.

But to tell the truth, although the room was arranged rather childishly, it was a nobleman's room, and the home decoration was even better than that of the residence of Lord Lubigand, or Lord Nefarian Rubot, with fine carved carvings on the walls of fine gray masonry, and tables and chairs and beds made of the finest ebony imported from the colony of Forcanster, but the value of the wood was already quite high.

"Are you calling me, human?" Lubignd stared at the little girl, but the girl didn't seem to be too afraid of his hideous appearance, although she was barely tall enough to reach the demon's waist, but she tried hard to put her feet on it, as if she wanted to touch Lubigand's wings.

Lubignd was annoyed by the girl's behavior, and the girl who didn't know the height of the sky didn't answer him, and she didn't fear him at all, as if she didn't take him seriously at all.

"Enough, human!" Lubignd shouted, then raised his wings to keep the girl from touching, "tell me your name, or the deal between us will be over!"

The girl stopped trying to touch the demon's wings, and instead raised her face to look at Lubigonde's majestic appearance.

"Isabella. ”

"Isabella?" Lubignd surveyed the girl, who had the long brown hair commonly found in the Rosedibu, but it seemed to be brighter than the traditional Rosedib, somewhat close to dark orange.

"What about your surname, what's your last name?"

Isabella stared at Lubigand's face and pursed her mouth slightly, but the demon couldn't tell from her face whether it was upset or smug.

"Figlaf, Isabella Anya Figlaf. ”

"Feglaf!" Lu Bigonde was slightly surprised, because this surname was precisely the surname of the Duke of Cold Mountain Lord's family, yes, it was the Cold Mountain Leader who was mentioned by the adventurers in Blackstone Peak before.

Of course, as a demon, Lubigon would not be afraid of any human forces, on the contrary, when he heard this surname, a plan came to his mind.

"Very well, human, your noble bloodline qualifies you to make a deal with me, even if you don't have any magical powers. Lubignd smiled, but the smile on his face was more ugly than a hideous appearance.

"Let me, then, clarify the contents of the contract and the obligations of each other...... Ahh

Lubignd suddenly screamed, and a large black sword was piercing his heart from behind.

Seeing this sudden change, Isabella, who was acting calmly, was also taken aback, and looked at the man who suddenly appeared behind the demon in a daze.

Belle was still wrapped in a black coat and had no expression on his face, even though he had just killed one of his own kind.

"You're disgusting to me, Lubigand. Belle slowly drew his sword and said unhurriedly, "Do you know why I hate you Mana Branci? Because you only have intrigue and filth in your minds, and in your opinion, hell should be evil and unclean, and it is because of demons like you that the lower realms have become so dirty." ”

"You, what are you kidding......" Lubigonde turned his head with difficulty, the sword of the demon lord pierced his heart, and what was even more deadly was that as a class that completely crushed his existence, Belel could completely suck the power in his body away, so that he did not have the slightest power to resist, "You, you are the demon lord, one of the nine dukes of hell, do you think you are an angel!"

Belel jerked out his sword, and Lubignd was reduced to a pile of ashes and his body burst apart.

"It's because you think of yourself as a demon that you're like this. ”

Belel waved his hand, and the ashes left behind by Lubignd drifted away in the wind, never to be seen again.

The Demon Lord looked at Isabella, and although she had witnessed the whole process of Lubigand's killing, she did not seem to be afraid, but stared at Belel curiously.

"Are you a demon too?"

"Yes. Belle walked up to Isabella, crouched down, and looked at the little girl with a blank face, "Remember, never make a deal with demons, although a few demons have a good heart, but those who are willing to make a contract deal with humans are often those with malicious intentions, and making a deal with them will only cause you to lose more." ”

"And what about you?" Perhaps because Belle crouched down and maintained an equal dialogue posture with her, Isabella behaved more relaxedly, "Are you a good demon?

Isabella put her hands behind her back, her small body swayed slightly, and even the white dress on her body rolled up with the waves.

Belle stared at Isabella for a moment, then nodded.

"So, can I make a deal with you? If I make a deal with you, you're not going to hurt me, are you?"

Belette sighed.

"But since it's a deal, you can't give nothing. Belle stretched out his palm and laid it out in front of Isabella, "What can you give me, Miss Figlaf?"

Isabella furrowed her small eyebrows, her delicate face furrowed, as if she had just arrived at Belial's question.

"So, if I give you something, will you be willing to help me?"

"It depends on what you've asked me to do you a favor. ”

"I want you to help me save my brother!" Isabella blurted out, but she immediately realized her faux pas, "Umβ€”I mean, please help me." ”

The corners of Belier's mouth trembled, and he wanted to laugh inexplicably for a moment just now. But then he pursed his lips tightly.

How long has it been? I feel the urge to laugh.

Belle stared at Isabella and pondered.

Is it because this pure heart touched me, or did it really make me so lonely during my days in hell?

Belette sighed, and then asked, "Your brother, is that count of Gloomy Castle who raised an army against his father?"

"That wasn't my brother's doing!" Isabella immediately retorted, "It was Harper Davide's bad old man who coerced my brother into doing it!"

Belle listened quietly and did not say anything, so Isabella continued: "Half a year ago, my father gave my brother the title of Earl of Fort Gloomy, but the county of Fort Gloomy, except for Fort Gloomy and the land east of the Qing River, all the lands belonged to Baron Hankston, that is, Harper's bad old man, and Harper used his brother's name to rebel. My brother doesn't have many knights under him, and the troops he has gathered are all loyal to the bad old man's family, and now that my father has led his troops to crusade against Gloomy Castle, if he loses the battle, Harper will definitely use his brother as a scapegoat and stay out of the matter himself!"

Isabella spoke with great indignation, her little face was red, and her two immature fists were clenched as if she were going to beat the bad old man.

"My brother is so good, he won't do this kind of thing, it's all Harper's bad things!"

Belette sighed inwardly, he did not think that the eight-year-old girl had such an analytical ability, and, judging from the look and tone of voice in which Isabella said this, it was clear that she had been indoctrinated with these words.

However, Belette did not intend to delve into it, for he did not think that a seventeen-year-old count would have the courage to oppose his father, for he had neither the reason nor the ability to do so.

"So, you want me to kill that bad old man?" Belle raised an eyebrow and stared at Isabella, "to end another evil thing with an evil practice?"

Isabella was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and began to think carefully.

After a long time, she hesitated and said, "Then, then, you rescue my brother, now that my father's crusading army is almost in the gloomy castle, I am afraid that my father will really kill my brother in a fit of rage......"

Belel raised his outstretched palm.

"So, in exchange, what did you pay?"

Isabella was stunned for a moment, then frowned tightly and pondered.

"Ah, there you wait!" As if suddenly something came to mind, Isabella left Belle and ran to the dolls to look for it.

"Here's to you. Isabella quickly ran back, put a palm-sized rag doll into Belel's hand, and then opened her eyes wide, looking at Belette expectantly, "At this time, my brother's doll, but I like it the most, I will give this to you, you bring my brother back to me, okay?"

Belle stared blankly at the doll in his hand, for the first time in so many years, he felt that his brain was blank.

"Hmmβ€”isn't it enough?" Isabella pursed her lips, as if distressed, "Well, these are for you, too." ”

She also put the things in her other hand on the palm of Belle's hand, which were a few doll's clothes.

"I've given you all my brother's clothes, so you must bring my brother back with you all the time, okay?" She opened her eyes again, and there seemed to be little stars in her sparkling eyes, such a cute appearance, it really made people can't bear to refuse.

Even if it is Belel, no, it should be said, it is precisely because he is Belle that he cannot refuse such a request.

"All right, Miss Isabella. Belel clenched his palms and put them away, "I have already received your honorarium, so I will definitely ...... it."

Belle stared at Isabella, her blood-red eyes revealing a gentle color.
