By the time Francis and Randy Grace came down from the mountain, it was already evening.

"We can't go back today, even if we go to Yanjing, I guess the city gate will be closed!" said Francis, riding on his horse and watching the sun gradually set. In the distance, the small universe of Aeolos also slowly stopped, and it seemed that he had been keeping a certain distance from him as Francis said.

Randy Grace took the shrunken Grey in her arms and mounted her horse. "Let's go to a farmer's house down the hill for one night! I don't want to stay in the mountains and camp. Randy Grace thought of the worms in the cave, and it would have been a nightmare if they had run to her camp while she was sleeping.

"Well, that's it!" said Francis, driving his horse down the hill.

"Master Mage, you're here again!" Francis came to the farmer's house where he had inquired at noon today, and in his sights, the old farmer was still a very upright man.

"Hmm!, can you arrange two rooms for us?" Francis pointed to himself and Randy Grace.

"Of course you can! Just, sir! I'm sorry, but there's only one room!"

"Hmm!" Francis looked at Randy Grace, and if she didn't agree, she would be able to change the family.

"It's okay, I don't care. Randy Grace jumped off her horse and looked at Francis and nodded.

"Then I'm sorry for you!" said Francis, to the old farmer.

"Your kindness, my lord, you have left too much of the gold coins you left at noon this day, and I did not realize that you had given too much until I cleaned up the table!" said the old farmer, who was about to enter the house and return the gold coins to Francis.

"No need!" Francis stopped the old peasant, "if you have more, we should use it as money for our night's sleep!"

"But that's still too much......"

"Then please prepare something delicious, we're hungry right now!" Francis didn't do much, he was only using magic to fight today, and he didn't use much energy. However, Randy Grace was poisoned today, and the consumption may be very large.

"Okay, come with me!" the old farmer led the two into the house and brought them to the guest room, "Countryman, there is no good house, don't dislike it! Wait a little for dinner for you, I'll go and prepare!" said the old farmer and walked out.

Francis looked at the clean room, walked over to the table, found a stool and sat down.

Night――――

"Why, aren't you sleeping?" said Francis, looking at the kitten sitting on the bed. Francis sat at his desk, flipping through a book borrowed from the academy. Randy Grace had fallen asleep in bed, and she was indeed very tired today.

"If I'm asleep, who's coming to see you!" Grey jumped from the bed onto the table where Francis was reading. "Who the hell are you?"

"Hmm!?Why do you ask?" Francis looked strangely at Grey, who was crouching next to her book.

"Can an ordinary sixth-order mage use eighth-order magic as easily as you?" Gray looked at the book on the table, this seems to be the book of the Royal Academy of Magic!

"Well, I'm just a little more mentally strong than the average person!" Francis suddenly reached out to hug Grey, reaching out and scratching her chin.

"Meow!" Before Grey could resist, she was snorted comfortably by Francis's skillful technique.

"Hehe!" Francis looked at Grey in his arms, and looked a little slimmer than his own Gehry.

"Humph!" Grey slammed from Francis's arms onto the table, "You don't know, it's rude to hold a lady like that!"

"Sorry, I just thought of my kitten, and I can't help it!"

"I told you, I'm not a cat!"

"Hehehe, don't care about this kind of thing!"

"What the hell do you look like?" Grey looked at the hat on Francis's face as she stood on the table with a smooth chin just in sight from below!

"Why! do you care about this?" said Francis, touching her nose, and if she saw it, she would inevitably explain again.

I don't care!Grey turned her head to look at Randy Grace on the bed, but Till still doesn't know what you look like!"Ah! yes! After all, you will have to contact you often in the future, and today your strength has been recognized by me, at least I need to know what you look like! ”

"Well!okay!" Francis listened to Gray's lame reason, and thought about it, she and Randy Grace will have a mission in the future, and she will know what she looks like sooner or later.

"Okay, I'm a man!" Francis slowly pulled up his hat.

"Of course I know that......" Gray stopped her words and looked at Francis in full bloom. "Really...... Is it a man?"

The next morning, Randy Grace opened her eyes and saw that she was sleeping in an unfamiliar bed, remembered that she was out on a mission, and quickly sat up.

"Grey, get up!" Randy Grace shook Grey beside her as she sat up from the bed.

"Don't shake it! I was so frightened last night, sleep a little longer!" Grey rolled over and went back to sleep.

"Frightened!?" asked Randygrace, straightening her clothes.

"You're awake!" Francis pushed the door open and walked in, holding a basin of water in his hand. "I've made the water, you can wash your face first!"

"Thank you!" Randy Grace walked over, suddenly feeling that something was wrong, and looked up at Francis's face. "You... You... You are... Francis?"

"Why, could there be anyone else?" Francis put the basin on the table and walked out.

"Grey!" Randy Grace hurriedly ran to the side of the bed, picked up Grey and shook her vigorously.

"What's wrong?" asked Grey strangely as she opened her sleepy eyes and looked at Randy Grace's panicked look.

"Francis...... He... He... He...... I see his face!" Randy Grace looked incredulous,

"Ah, I know! I saw it last night!" Grey jumped out of Randygrace's hand and fell back on her stomach. "Don't worry, he's a man!"

"Really?" said Randygrace worriedly, for the first time she liked someone, but don't ......

"Uh-huh! If you don't believe yourself, say hello!"

"But ......," Randy Grace blushed and her heart beat at the thought of Francis.

"Troublesome fellow, just open your mouth!" Grey closed her eyes, ignoring Randy Grace.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"You're back, a little faster than I thought?" Ivanov saw Francis and Randygris pushing the door in, and took off his glasses. "How's it going, have you figured things out?"

"Well, we haven't found the bodies of the two deacons, but we're pretty much sure what happened!" Francis.

"Oh, tell me what's going on?"

"Oh, we're ......," Francis said slowly. With Francis's words, Ivanov's face became more and more solemn, and when he heard the spatial crack, Ivanov stood up directly from his seat.

"What's the matter, Lord Bishop!"

"You two are doing a good job, I'm going to report this matter. You wait here for a while, and I'll come when I go!" Ivanov pushed open the door and strode out.

"Well, what's going on, Lord Bishop's reaction is so great!" said Randygrace, looking at Ivanov's slightly flustered look, to Francis.

"Well, I guess it's because of that spatial rift, that's a terrible thing!"

After a while, Ivanov walked back again: "I have already reported the matter to the Holy Mountain, and you have done a good job this time! Next, please go back and write down the details of this mission! Remember, this mission must not be known to others, especially the matter at the bottom of the cave!"

"Lord Bishop!" Francis said suddenly, "Can you tell us what exactly we are fighting this time?" Randygrace also looked at Ivanov with burning eyes.

"This ......" Ivanov didn't want to say anything, but seeing the appearance of Francis and Randygrace, he thought about it and said it.

"You are all elites of the church, and even if I don't say it, you will know later. Remember those bugs in the cave?"

"Hmm, the beetles?"

"Yes, it's that beetle! It's called a protozoa. Ivanov said the name of the bug.

"Protozoa!" Francis frowned, he had never heard the name of such a bug before.

"This kind of insect is the lowest-level demon beast, and their own combat power is extremely low, so it can be said that ordinary people can trample one to death with one foot. Ivanov thought for a moment and then said: "But they have a terrifying ability, and that is to evolve, by devouring ...... Devour their own kind, beasts, monsters, and even humans!!They can devour evolution!"

Francis closed his eyes, Ivanov's words were terrifying. "How many times can you devour these protozoa, I mean how many times they can evolve!

"Yes, they can't be devoured indefinitely!

Francis silently pondered these two words, which have a deep meaning!

"Forgive me, Lord Bishop, why haven't I heard of such a monster before?" said Randygrace in surprise, why hadn't anyone ever heard of such a horrible thing.

"No, they're not demonic beasts! they're demon beasts! There are no such terrifying demonic beasts on the continent!"

"What do you mean...... They don't belong to this continent?" Although Francis had already heard what he said, Randy Grace was still surprised to receive an affirmation here in Ivanov.

"Didn't you two go to the bottom of the cave? Then you should see that spatial crack, right? Those bugs belong to another world―――――― Demon Realm!!!"
