The two looked at each other and walked through the gate together. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info door closed behind the two, and Yuffie heard soft footsteps behind him, as if the stars had left.

She looked up at the setup in front of her.

The room is pure white, delicate and elegant, and it feels less like a king's palace and more like a hermit's abode. The room is not too big, the bed, coffee table, desk, bookshelf and other living facilities are all available, and there are several monster pottery dolls of different styles on the shelves, as well as a few handmade handicrafts, which adds a bit of warmth to life.

She moved her gaze further ahead and saw a young girl dressed in white sitting at the desk. The other party lowered his head, held a charcoal pen in his hand, and was intently drawing something on the paper, seemingly completely oblivious to the visit of the two.

"Excuse me." Yuffie walked up to the girl and asked softly, "Does His Highness the Demon King live here?" We are invited. She saw a majestic mountain range painted on the paper, and the brushwork was a little immature, but it already contained a bit of momentum.

"Ah...... I'm sorry. Only then did the girl in white notice the visitors around her, and hurriedly stood up and tidied up the dress on her body, "If you talk about the demon king...... It should be me. She walked over to the coffee table and sat down on one of the chairs, "Come on, just call me Anya—that's my name." ”

Yuffie nodded, she had guessed it, but it was still prudent and polite to ask beforehand. She also sat down at the coffee table and looked at the girl who seemed to be no more than a teenager across from her, "So, what are you looking for us for, Anya?" ”

"I want to ask you for something." The girl in white looked at Yuffie and Lin seriously, "I've heard reports from the stars, you are excellent travelers, and you're preparing to go south, right?" She bowed slightly, "Please let me walk with you." ”

This was somewhat unexpected. She looked at her friend, and the blonde girl blinked, clearly thinking the offer interesting.

"Okay." Lin said happily, "It's not bad to have an extra companion, when are you going to leave?" ”

"Wait a minute." She had to interrupt her friend's words and continued to ask Anya, "Can you tell us first, what is the reason why you want to do this?" ”

"Why...... the girl in white lowered her eyes, "aren't you curious about the reason why I became the Demon King?" ”

"Of course." Lin nodded vigorously, "Can you tell us?" ”

"The so-called demon king is closer to a symbol than the ruler of the Gipnes Alliance." Anya recounted gently, "Legend has it that the hero who first established the alliance and called himself the king of the demon clan left a last word before he died—he would appoint a man as his successor, and the successor would appoint a new successor. As long as the Demon King is still in power, the alliance can continue to exist. ”

"But, how did the so-called demon king designate?" Lynn asked, "You can't just pick one person, right?" ”

"I don't know...... No, I should say, I don't know how. Anya combed her hair lightly, as if organizing her words, "Legend has it that every demon king is able to learn the specific information of the next demon king through some mysterious means before he dies. After that, the elders of the alliance will send an investigation team to find that person and appoint him as the next demon king. She shook her head, "So it's a pity...... Even if I am so designated, I can't tell you exactly how it works. ”

Lynn covered her mouth and whispered a sigh at the magic that existed on this continent. Yuffie thought of something else, and she met the eyes of the girl in white and asked the other party in a soft voice.

"Anya, you should know that the life of the demon clan is usually several times longer than their original body, and if it is a naturally long-lived race, it will be effortless to live for hundreds of years." She already has a plan in her heart, and all she needs is the confirmation of the other party, "However, as the demon king, you continue to pass it on in the form of succession-"

"That's right." The girl seemed to have anticipated this question, nodded slightly, and agreed with Yufy's guess, "I am from Inil, and it is said that every 'demon king' is like this. ”

"In that case...... Lynn was concerned about the other aspect, "how old are you and when did you come here?" ”

"I was born sixteen years ago, and I was brought here on the seventeenth day after I was born - that's what they told me after, of course." Anya smiled and replied, "The elders are very good people, and Mr. Ahsan, who brought me here, is also very good to me, but ...... I wanted to see this continent and the country I was born into. ”

Lynn blinked vigorously, looking like she was moved. She stood up and patted Anya on the shoulder gently, looking at her friend with a serious expression, "I think...... Shall we promise her, Yuffie? ”

"I'm not against that." Yuphie muttered, "But does the Council of Elders allow you to leave the royal capital at will?" What's more, given our background, I'm afraid we are not so trustworthy. ”

"Then it's better not to tell them." Anya replied without hesitation, her eyes full of expectation, "It was Sister Mantianxing who asked me to say this, so...... You can rest assured, right? ”

Yuffie was silent for a moment, judging in her mind the meaning of the girl's words. Judging from the situation along the way, Mantianxing's status in the alliance was unquestionable, and her advice was enough to influence the elders' decisions. But on the other hand, as a "symbol" of the alliance, it is quite sensitive and dangerous to easily leave the royal city and even set foot on the territory of Innis.

If an accident happens, they, as companions, will inevitably have to bear the corresponding consequences - whether it is the blame of the alliance or the anger of the youkai. Either way, it's hard for them to accept it at the moment, so it's best to be more cautious.

"By the way, there's this." Anya seemed to suddenly remember something, got up and walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a folded letter and handed it to her, "This is Mr. Ahsan, who brought me here, and said he would pass it on to you. ”

Yuffie took the letter, cut the wax seal with her fingernails, and gently flattened it on the table.

During the war in the Breezy Forest, Eskar had delivered letters to them and the Elna on more than one occasion. The handwriting that catches your eye at this time is slightly different from that time, but it is still familiar - it is the handwriting of the former commander of the "Brigade", Pfister.

The content of the epistle is only a few sentences.

"Strangers who have seen the faith:

Help the girl who holds the letter, and maybe you'll find something new.

Use your own eyes to confirm everything, both in history and in the future.

- Former Elna people, nameless travelers from Lily of the Valley Village"
