Chapter IX, Chapter XXVIII
"Remember what I said when I first met you, I hope you can be a barrier to our holy land and the earth temple in the future—the world has changed, and in just one year, this sentence has lost its meaning, and the world that has not changed for hundreds of years has become so bad because of your re-entry that even I am caught off guard!" Shinas gestured with his eyes to Marietta, who immediately pushed open a door to space.
"But my mind remains the same, and I will still make the most of your efforts to secure Osiria before the return of the dark magician. I, as the Emperor of Osiria, and all the people below me, are all arranged in order according to their use value—you don't have to frown at all, because I am the only one who is qualified to say such things on any occasion—and perhaps the Demon Emperor and the Black Mage who killed His Majesty the First Emperor also have them. Shinas's smile turned unfathomable, and Lovian was a little more restrained in his gaze.
"I want to ask you a question, if in the past, your predecessors really ruined the black magician, do you think you still have to save here?"
At this moment, Lovian vaguely felt that the entire space around him seemed to release a murderous aura for a moment, and after causing his magic pattern to flicker for a moment, he found that his heart was beating thirty percent faster than usual, and he felt a little shocked when he looked at Shinas's flawless face.
"陛xià. He smiled as softly as he could, "You can't ambush a hundred sword and axe men in the outer layer of space, just waiting for you to draw your sword, right?"
"Haha......" Sinas laughed softly as he pulled a thin sword from the scabbard at Marietta's waist beside him and threw it upward. Directly nailed to the sky above—above the imprisoned spatial barrier.
"You are much more cautious than His Highness Mercedes...... But is it because of the difference that we were in? Shinas I'm telling you the truth here. It's not that the black mage completely ruined Miè or not, but if you didn't come to the meeting after the Demon Emperor came back to life. The last sentence you said is not a joke. Her simple face suddenly revealed a hint of charm that did not match a girl of this age, "Believe me, although your strength is no match in the fourth level, it is not difficult for the Holy Land to unknowingly obliterate you here." ”
Listening to the tone of a salesman introducing his own goods and saying that he wanted to erase himself, Lovian didn't feel any meaning in the slightest, not to mention that the smile on Sinas at the moment had long been thousands of miles away from his first impression.
"Can you explain why?" asked Lovian, as calmly as he could.
"First of all, without you, when the Demon Emperor has not returned, you will not be able to hold together. There is no way to talk about cooperation with the Blue Moon Society, and the Blue Moon Society will not be able to solve Grivar's problem at all, and you will have no time to care about it under the attack of many opposition organizations such as the internal 'Grivar Revival Front', thus giving me the determination to 'fight outside must first settle inside', and the three legions still stationed next to the Minar Forest will wipe out the Blue Moon Society under the leadership of Oz and Hook while you are tired of dealing with the remnants of Grivar and unable to effectively command the demons. This will not take ten days. The original plan was. After getting rid of you, get the news of your death to Griver as quickly as possible, and then take advantage of the chaos to lead my troops south, and I won't hurt Francis them out of diplomatic courtesy. But the Demon Emperor is a huge variable, not only does it make me admit the legitimacy of Black Wing, but it also completely turns my plans upside down—the Demon Emperor's power should not be underestimated. That's one of the reasons why I'm going to show you the memories you've activated!
"If you die, the Blue Moon Society will be in turmoil. And if the Demon Emperor is here, he will inevitably take over the demon clan under him. And since then, the contradiction between me and the Blue Moon Society has been irreconcilable, if a war breaks out again, even if we can destroy you, I'm afraid we will lose fifty percent of ourselves, not to mention the strength of the alliance between Orka and Siwu, even I have no chance of winning, and if I die before I leave a descendant, then it is really difficult—— without the basic guarantee of strength, will the Earth Temple still be so righteous and noble? The reason why they chose to delegate power was our strength and the great risk that the Dark Mage might take because of the Seal Stone in our hands because of their misfortune.
"Maybe the Demon Emperor can suppress the anger of the Blue Moon Society, and wait until after the war with the Black Magician to settle old scores, but can you still see who said it accurately at that time? And with the noble status of the Demon Emperor, how can the word 'godfather' with a position and no power be satisfied? Siwu's style is difficult to determine, but from the psychology of me, the orthodox emperor, Siwu will probably overthrow the orthodoxy of the Blue Moon Society, erase the past leadership, and establish an absolute and pure demon regime - maybe it's not bad- At least when it comes to rebelling against the Dark Mage, a strong and unified force is indispensable.
"However, betting that the Demon Emperor can indeed suppress the anger of the Blue Moon Society and establish an iron-blooded government, it is better to keep you alive. That way you have a better chance of winning. ”
Xinas's fluttering words made Lovian break out in a cold sweat, and he didn't even notice when he was in such a position that moved his whole body. Shinas spoke his plan as if he were stating the plot he had seen in a comic book, not caring at all that the life and death of the person next to him were really related to him, and Lovian had not communicated with Arya, the Pole of Light in the past, but he had a deep respect for Arya's opponent Siu like never before.
"I'm sorry for the delay, and thank you for enlightening my understanding of martial arts. Shinas said to Lovian in a sincere and simple voice, and Lovian did not dare to look into the eyes of the emperor, and walked quickly through the door of the space under Marietta's cold gaze.
"Hoo ——"
Falling heavily on the hotel bed, Lovian was incredulous at his sluggishness.
However, despite all this, she still had a little underestimation of Shinas's thoughts, this girl who seemed younger than herself should not think so carefully, and in her style, she did not look like the kind of person who would use extreme means to achieve goals quickly.
But think for yourself. As the head of Osiria's Guardians, if he didn't even have these means and scheming. How could she sit on the top for so long?
The supreme ideological goal of Sinas, which was based on the principle that "Osiria must be peaceful and smooth before facing the dark magician", was indeed not expected by anyone, and the words that sounded like the dreams of great men would not have made Lovian think of if Swu was resurrected for a while. Shinas will uphold his conviction and erase himself in this meeting. It sounds incredible when you put it straight, but when you think about it, it makes sense.
Could it be that she will learn the way of thinking of Shinas in the future, especially when it comes to matters related to the Holy Land? Once Shinas's girlish and naïve longing becomes very likely to come true because of her own strength and power, the danger and unpredictability of it may be a headache for even the Lubistan family, who have served the Holy Emperor for a long time!
Just as he was thinking about how to incorporate the biggest variable of Shinas into his thinking in the future, the door was opened without knocking.
The only person who was qualified to do so by the accompanying Blue Moon Society delegation was of course Mastma, who turned to close the door and found him on the bed with a little surprise.
"And where have you been, Mercedes sent us to tell us that you should have returned—why did she know so well?"
Lovian stared at the boring high-grade wallpaper on the ceiling, "I'm afraid there is something Xinas wants to say to her and me!"
"Shinas?" Mastema snapped for a moment's notice. Lovian felt the air tighten slightly in her direction, "Not a dangerous topic?"
"It's fine. He said with his eyes closed. In fact, Lovian didn't want to tell the details of the conversation, and Shinas probably had a reason to ask him to go alone.
The mattress next to him suddenly sank in, and then there was the touch of something heavy on the sides of his chest, and as soon as Lovian opened his eyes, he saw that Mastma's citrine-colored eyes were only five centimeters away from him.
"Uh-—— you-"
"Rest assured, the door is locked. She said in a flat tone, propped up in front of Lovian, "It's not a good tone, that's not what you wanted to say in the first place. ”
"Can I assign them to my privacy?"
"I don't believe that you are in the mood to talk to His Majesty Shinas after afternoon tea...... She didn't threaten you with anything, did she?" said Mastma, twisting her head. Rubbing his hair with his furry ears, "Isn't Shinas the only one in this place who can threaten you and have a reason to threaten you?" You've been on opposite sides all along, and her desire for you to reconcile the Holy Land with the Earth Temple is no longer the case, and she may consider your usefulness. ”
Lowe moved with peace of mind. Winked and looked at her, "Great." It's good to discuss something with you in the future. The problem is that many times this opportunity is not available. ”
"Don't digress!" she whispered.
"Almost......" he sighed, "I underestimated Shinas a little before. She...... It did have the meaning of a 'threat' as you said, but since Siu had returned, she realized that it didn't make sense, so she simply presented it to me. And I don't know what Yaxing she came to, so she decided to learn some sword intent from me. ”
"Huh?" Mastma must have been drawn to the second half of his sentence, which was expected by Lovian, "do you ?—— you win her?"
"Pure sword skills. Lovian reached out and patted her on the head, "She's still a little way from me...... But at first, she wanted me to use a one-handed sword, which gave me a headache for a while. ”
Mastma suddenly let go of his elbows, and the whole person fell directly on Lovian's body. The latter was startled and reflexively tried to push away, but the hand was only halfway to the point and understood, smiled wryly, and reached out to grasp her wings.
"Or ...... Isn't that okay?" she whispered in a slightly hoarse guttural voice behind him.
"The mentality of being able to control the sword of revenge can only be absolute hatred. I really don't want to burn a qiē with hatred, because a qiē contains a lot of things that I don't want to lose. You should know that when the dark element is reversed, every moment of time consumes life, and a second seems to be as long as an hour. ”
"Hmph. Mastma sighed on Lovian's chest, "My life is endless, but you're still shortening, why is it so hard to keep your promise...... Lowe. Look at me. ”
Mastma circled her fingers and brushed away the emanation from her forehead. Touching the contours of his cheeks, "I neutralize your hateful efforts." Whether it has worked so far, yes or no, I will continue to work until you will never draw that sword of vengeance again, and you will never turn your red hair a miserable white again—that's how I do it. ”
Muffy didn't bother to ask Lowe to answer, she held his face with both hands, and then sealed his lips steadily.

In the year 789 of the lunar calendar, Edelstein.
The sky of the plateau is always blue and white clouds, mixed with the vast lead gray of the colors of chaotic space. The cold wind is always mixed with sharp snow flakes, and if you take them with bare skin without protection. will be lightly cut out of a long, narrow wound.
Even as the second in line to the throne, Lovien Brady Myunn did not receive any preferential treatment, and perhaps the only advantage he had was his mixed blood, which gave him a little more ability to survive in the vast snowfields that obeyed the absolute laws of nature, and was more capable of protecting his mother and sister.
My father and uncle have been stationed in the Demon Pass for many years in order to defend against humans, and it is only in less than a month a year that the family can be reunited. At other times, they can also get a little food and clothing by virtue of their status as a member of the royal family, but in winter, especially when their mother is sick. All of a sudden, life became strained.
Half of the Terran blood is also a bit disadvantaged, his skin is a little more fragile than that of pure-bloods, and the snowflakes dancing in the wind are more likely to scratch his skin. Therefore, it is essential to travel in winter wearing a winter coat that leaves no gaps, and he slides down the hillside in snow shoes. Head down the warm but dangerous mountain.
A precious trace of winter warmth blew through the Devil's Gate, dyeing a small narrow valley with a scarce green. There, you can collect the expensive plantain on the market, and if you use it to boil water and drink it, it is good for your mother's body. A simple cold can be cured quickly.
However, he knew that his mother would not let him come here, so he lied that he had taken the money to buy medicine at the market. And he came to a dangerous valley adjacent to humans.
Arranged for Damien to take care of his mother, and he felt guilty for his sister, who was still a child but was very obedient. She was the last to be reluctant for her brother to come to such a dangerous environment, but he had not once said anything about the sinister place - now that she remembered it, I don't know if it was good or bad, after all, in the future she would have to use the same eyes as them to understand the world that imaginary humans had isolated them.
A strange sound mixed with the sound of the wind immediately alerted him, and the dark essence surged in his limbs, and he flashed behind a boulder with his strength, and through the brown windbreakers, he saw the source of the sound.
"Expedition?"
His heart tightened, and humans occasionally sent expeditions to Edelstan to monitor the movements of the demons, and often the strength of this team was not weak, but the supplies they carried were extremely precious to the demons who were poor in supplies.
Reining his breath, Lovian watched closely at the three humans who were slowly climbing up the slope, his training in the school had made him more aware of his surroundings than the Terrans who didn't know about it, but with such a formation, he still knew that it was difficult to compete with them with his own strength. All he had to do now was wait for them to leave, and then sneak to the bottom of the valley to pick up some precious cars.
Looking down at his palm, wisps of dark essence coiled around his fingers - the strength is still too weak, if you can...... Mother's illness must be - looking at the appearance of these expedition members sitting in the snow and waiting, he was very anxious, if he could not get home in time, then he would not be able to explain it to his sister and mother. Thinking in his heart, he rubbed his hands in the crack of the stone in thought, if he went out rashly, the dangerous human beings from the outside who were told by thousands of instructions would probably not sit idly by and ignore such a demon child!
As he waited, it was already dark, and he saw in the cracks in the stone that the three unknown Terrans had set up their tents, lit lamps and lit fires in the tents, and soon the smell of food came. Even the taste of simple mountaineering food was something that Lovian had rarely experienced, and he held back the hunger in his stomach and took out the frozen dry food and gnawed it slowly, almost trying to mistake the wafting aroma for the rough food in his mouth.
After another half an hour, Luo Wei's peace of mind was already gloomy, and if he went home at this moment, he must have no way to explain his way, but more importantly, the family was probably already very anxious. If you go missing on the plateau in winter, the chances of surviving and finding the body are extremely slim.
But just as the sun had completely set, he saw the sound of rustling footsteps from the direction he had come. His attention was focused again, and he saw in the dim light two more Terran males, dressed in thick leather coats, carrying a bag behind their backs, and the bag was writhing - there was something alive in it!
Luo Wei'an was immediately shocked! This is not the official expedition of human beings, this is the "hunters" of human beings! They are the embodiment of the cruelty and cruelty of human beings, and they are fond of the children of the demon race, especially girls, who tie them up to the bottom of the mountain, sell them as slaves, and endure a life that is worse than death. And feeling the breath of the same clan in the cloth bag, Luo Wei'an almost didn't have time to think about it, he pulled out a thin sword from his back, which was used by his father when he was young, extremely sharp, presumably the human race in front of him could not have such a good weapon. (To be continued......)
