Chapter 153: The City of Thorns

"Alright, lead the way. ”

Alice and Philmus were ready to stop, waved their hands to collect the ice lotus, and landed from the sky, urging the demon killer to walk towards the other side of the mountain on foot.

"No problem, but what do you call this young lady, since you are pretending to be my partner, I can't always call you beautiful in front of my peers. ”

The Demon Killer paused and waved his hand.

"No, since you don't know the name, how did you issue a bounty on Black Thorns?"

Fillmos asked, puzzled.

"That's not easy, look at your bounty order. ”

The Demon Slayer pulled out two bounty orders that were magically engraved with Alice and Fillmos's appearances, and even introduced their height and size.

"Oh, that's right, then you can call me Alice, he's called Fillmos, by the way, what's your name?"

Alice asked with interest.

"You can call me the Rook, this is my nickname, please come with me. ”

The Crow led Alice and Philmus slowly over the hill in front of them.

"Crow, why is there nothing?"

Alice said as she looked at the other side of the hill, the endless peaks.

"Don't worry, Miss Alice, follow me. ”

I saw the crow walk to a big tree, stretched out his left hand to the tree, rolled up his sleeve and pressed it against the tree. The tree, which had looked very ordinary just a moment ago, glowed black, and a small door appeared on the trunk, and the black crow pushed open the door and took the lead and walked in. The middle of the big tree is hollow, there is a small teleportation array in the tree hole, the three of them stand in the center of the teleportation array, the black crow takes out a key-like thing from behind and inserts it into the center of the teleportation array, and the teleportation array starts in a roar.

Alice only felt a flash of white light in front of her, and as soon as the scene in front of her changed, they appeared in the magic array on both sides of a brightly lit underground passage, the entire underground passage was paved with neat stone bricks, and many demons who looked dusty walked towards the other side of the passage, and it could be seen that all the buildings here were built underground, which was very secret.

"Come on, let's go register first. ”

The crow led Alice and Philmos into the black castle-like building on the other side of the passage, which also had the words "City of Thorns" written in demon script.

"Come and report your name. ”

The crow led them into the castle gate, and came to a small room next to the gate, there was only a simple wooden table, and behind the wooden table sat a demon uncle who looked like a demon with a face, playing with the pipe in his hand.

"Report to the Registrar, under the crows, these are the two new partners, bring them to register. ”

"Hmm~ Black Crow, I'll take a look. ”

Uncle Demon put his leg on the table and leisurely flipped through the roster at hand.

"Oh, I found it, how did you do with your mission, Crow?"

The demon uncle asked while spitting clouds and mist.

"Report to the Registrar, the target has a helper, and that helper is so powerful, the two old friends in the next are dead, and I can only come back to see you if I escaped my life. ”

The crow secretly glanced at the demon registrar.

"Oh, in that case, then hand over your mission liquidated damages. ”

The demon uncle stretched out his fat hand and quietly made a gesture to ask for money.

"Well, Registrar, this is liquidated damages, and the other half is to honor your old man. ”

The black crow took out a bag of gold coins from his bag and threw it into the hands of the demon uncle.

"Well, that's pretty much it, okay boy, call your buddy to register. ”

The demon uncle flipped the gold coin bag in his hand, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth and said.

"Yes, Registrar. ”

Alice and Firmos stepped forward.

"Come, two young men, drop a drop of blood on this, and you will be our Black Thorn from now on, and you can see from here whether you are still alive or not. ”

The demon uncle took out a crystal plate and put it on the table. Fillmos and Alice each dropped a drop of blood on it, and in an instant, two black smoke flew out of the crystal plate and flew towards Alice and Fillmos, directly into their bodies.

(Hmm, what is it?)

Alice felt the black smoke spread towards her head as soon as she could, (this is the silence spell of the Black Thorns.) Alice frowned slightly, controlling the energy in her body and turning into a giant dragon that instantly devoured this energy. The demon uncle looked at Alice and Fillmus and handed each of them a key.

"Okay, this is your identity card and the activation key of the teleportation circle, you can put it away and go inside. ”

Uncle Demon went back to fiddling with his pipe, and Raven led Alice and Fillmos out of the hut.

Just as Alice and the others walked out of the hut, the demon uncle who looked like a demon secretly picked up a magic communicator.

"Report to the lord of the castle, the crow has come in with two strangers, as if he has been held hostage. ”

"Okay, I know, I'll send my men to investigate, you don't have to worry about this matter, if there are any suspicious guys, report it to me immediately. ”

A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the communicator.

"Yes, Lord Castle. ”

・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・

"Are your friends male or female?"

The crow asked, turning his head.

"Girl, little girl. ”

Alice replied.

"Oh, that probably was sold in the slave market, and I don't know if I can find it now. ”

The Raven led them through a long corridor towards the other side of the City of Thorns.

"No, what if it's really sold?"

Alice was a little worried when she heard the crow's words.

"It's hard to say though, after all, your bounty order is worth a lot, and maybe she'll still be held in the water cell. ”

The crow led Alice and Philmos through the corridor into a huge slave market, and then searched the shops one by one, and searched through the entire slave market for an afternoon, but they didn't find Natalia, and it was already noon.

"Alice, your friend doesn't seem to be here, should we go get something to eat first and continue looking for it?"

"Okay, that's it. ”

Alice: They walked into a hotel near the slave market.

"Guests, what do you need? Here's the menu. ”

A young demon hostess saw Alice and the others walk through the door, and walked over to Alice enthusiastically and asked them, while handing them the menu.

"Eat, I'm not hungry. ”

Alice handed the menu to the crow and sat down around the table.

"Don't look at me, I'm not hungry. ”

Fillmos closed his eyes and continued to cultivate the Blood Demon Secret Text.

"Okay, here's this, this, and this. ”

The crow returned the marked menu to the hostess.

"Okay, please wait, guest. ”

The hostess ran down with the menu in her arms, and at that moment, in the corner of the hotel, a gaze was watching Alice and them. A demon sweat wrapped in black clothes with only his eyes exposed, glanced at Alice from time to time.

(Strange, the ones that the lord ordered to follow?? It doesn't seem like anything special, I'll try them later.) ）

The Demon Khan pretended to be drunk, and staggered towards Alice with a flask, his seemingly frivolous steps concealing murder, and the blue dagger was already ready to fire in his sleeve. (This guy is a high-level killer of Black Thorns, about the same level as the killer who went to assassinate Alice.) ）

"Guys, do you have time to have a few drinks with me?"

As soon as the demon Khan turned around and sat down next to Alice's table, he took the opportunity to tilt his body, and the sleeve of his short sword leaned towards Alice, and the murderous opportunity appeared.

"Get out. ”

Alice saw the killing intention of the demon Khan at a glance, only to see her wave her hand lightly, the temperature in the air instantly increased by dozens of degrees, and the demon Khan was slapped out of the door by Alice's white and tender palm stretched out of the long black sleeves, and fell in the middle of the road.

"Ah~ah~ The hero spares his life. ”

A meter-high flame instantly erupted from the place where Alice's palm touched it just now, and the demon Khan was burned by Alice and rolled on the ground in pain.

"Hmph, get out, I don't want to kill you. ”

"Yes, thank you for sparing your life. ”

I saw Alice wave her hand again, and the flames on the Great Khan were instantly extinguished, and the Demon Khan got up and fled the scene with a roll. Alice and Fillmos had lunch with the crow and walked in the direction of the water prison area.

(Alice, is Natalia okay, and what's next?, stay tuned.) ）
