Chapter 10: The Demon King's Appearance, Lonely Journey (6)
Han Tuo woke up from his meditation, and the sky was already the color of dusk.
Han Tuo confirmed the existence of [Gun Magic] from the memory palace, in the face of this magic that he had never heard of, although he wanted to try it now, but he still forcibly held back, in this kind of crowded area, if the range of attack is not well controlled, it will cause a tragedy.
So Han Tuo sat up, got out of the carriage, and saw Uncle Kendit who was setting up a makeshift tent.
"Oh~ is it okay already? Haha, the adventurer's physical fitness is really amazing. β
"No...... I'm not an adventurer. Han Tuo bowed his head again and thanked him, "But I still want to thank you for saving me." β
"It's okay, saving a warrior who can fight against demons is the same as saving an adventurer. Uncle Kendit propped the tent's stand on the iron pedestal, and a light green glow came from his handβ[First Order Magic?Sticking]βand the corner of the tent was finished, "Most of the so-called adventurers and warriors are muscular and savage, and it is rare to see someone like you with clear eyebrows. β
Han Tuo just stared at the light that bloomed in Kendett's hand for a moment, and when he looked back, the people who set up tents in the camp were blooming with colorful light yellow and light blue, just like the universe observed with the Hubble telescope.
"Now, uncle. Is everyone's magic this color?"
"Well~ our team of refugees is just ordinary people. The best level of magic is only a light color, like light color and pure white magic power can only be possessed by those court magicians and people of royal blood in the royal capital. β
"Uncle, are you fleeing?"
"yes. We used to live near the [Mire Frontier], but now that the war between humans and demons is about to begin, we have no choice but to evacuate there. β
"Uncle, have you ever seen a person with pure black magic?"
"Pure black? I guess it's only the legendary Demon King. Ordinary demons are just infinitely close to black. β
"That's ......" Han Tuo sighed, the cause and effect were already clear.
"Anyway, I don't know your name yet......"
"Uncle, is there any work for me to do? Eating rice without doing anything makes me feel uneasy. β
β...... So, could you please go collect some firewood? Don't get too close inside. β
"Don't worry, I've suffered enough. β
Uncle Kendit didn't stop what he was doing, turned his back to Han Tuo's figure and gradually walked away, and muttered to himself: "Although I don't know why you don't even want to reveal your name, I believe that I didn't save a bad person." β
Because...... It's too similar, with that person, and that necklace......
Han Tuo walked into the woods, and the boundless night spread from the sky, making the already dangerous and dark depths of the forest even darker. At this time, Han Tuo was shocked and trembled by the fact that he was huge and sad.
His own magic is pure black. It's not that I'm sad that this is a joke, but that reality has ruined my original imagination, and I'm sad that I can't fight side by side with the Terrans.
β...... It's okay, the brave man has decided a long time ago......" "I won't change my ...... because of this little thing"
"Even if it's just me. β
In the light of the gradually dimming sunset, the back of the young man is strong and lonely.
The eastern land of Gaidia, the capital of the demon race, the city of the demon king, and the place where the throne of the demon king is located - [Great Labyrinth].
The palace is located in the center of the Great Labyrinth, surrounded by an intricate labyrinth that acts as a moat, in which countless dangerous monsters are hosted, as if the wailing beasts from hell are endless, and you can vaguely see the white bones of the Terran warriors who sleep here for a long time. Birds and beasts automatically detour when they come here, and this is a magic domain that even eagles flying high in the sky are unwilling to approach.
In the quaint and gloomy main hall of the Demon King's Palace, a transparent and huge magic ball was placed in the center.
At a certain moment, the magic ball suddenly emitted light, instantly illuminating the entire hall.
Then one of the beings sitting on the throne opened his eyes.
In an instant, there seemed to be some kind of invisible change in the air, and the originally noisy outer periphery of the Demon King's Palace was instantly silent, and the countless demonic beasts in the darkness seemed to be under some kind of supreme coercion, prostrate on the ground and twitched slightly.
This is the majesty of the Demon King.
"Have you finally arrived? The Demon King sitting on the throne muttered to himself.
Two other bursts of light suddenly lit up in the main hall.
A thick blue whirlwind and thick purple lightning flashed through the hall, and then two figures emerged from it.
"Feng Qing and Lei Qing, where are the people who sent out the fluctuations?"
The same [Six-Bladed General], the demon duke in charge of the magic of the wind - Feng Duoli and the demon duke in charge of the magic power of thunder - Gray, bowed down and bowed respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the one who sent out the Brave Mana Wave has experienced the fact that it comes from the western vicinity of the [Mire Frontier]. Feng Duoli said.
"Your Majesty, your subordinates will lead the demon elite to ......"
Before Gray could finish his sentence, however, he was interrupted by a wave from the Demon King.
"No need, quickly summon the demon army, I will personally lead it and go to snipe it. β
Wind Dori and Gray were both startled, but they still didn't dare to look up at the Demon King on the throne.
It's not absolute respect for royal power, it's just pure fear. Because he knew the power of the one on the throne, he was so cautious and unwilling to take risks.
"Your Majesty, all you need to do is guard the Demon King City. There's no need to travel to far-flung borders. β
"It's okay, I've made up my mind. The Demon King got up and left his seat, his gaze downcast, as if he was looking at the distant [Mire Frontier]. Many years ago, it was there that the Prime Minister of the Human Kingdom of the Western Continent signed some kind of contract with the demons, which provided an opportunity for the demons to snipe this brave man.
As long as the brave man of the human race dies, the war between humans and demons for twelve years will definitely turn into the victory of the demon race this time.
And the advantages go far beyond that.
"Fengqing Lei Qing, this war is different from the past, even if I don't guard here, I have enough to guard here, and my identity and strength are enough to guard here. β
Quietly, the Demon King spat out words that were like nightmares for humans.
The momentum in the air changed, and the surrounding area of the Demon King City gradually returned to restlessness, and the demonic beasts roared and roared, as if they were about to embark on a journey with their own king.
At a certain moment, the gray-clothed boy slowly got up from the mountain of wolf corpses, and the huge golden head of the wolf king rolled down from above. A large number of gray-clothed people from all directions regrouped with information, and after most of the gray-clothed people shook their heads slightly, one of the gray-clothed people pointed to a mountain road not far away. So the group of gray-clothed men disappeared into the night under the leadership of the gray-clothed young man again.
At one point, Hantuo sat in front of a roaring bonfire, Uncle Kendit beside him and his fellow travelers were drinking and partying, and the little girl was doing her best to stop her father from getting drunk endlessly. Faced with all this, Han Tuo reluctantly coped with a smile like a mask.
Being in such a bustling and noisy scene is like a bustling street with bright lights in the world, just like a crowded tourist resort. Even in different worlds, occasions supported by the warmth of human beings are still equally hot, and no matter what the occasion, maintaining a joyful heart is a stage for banquets everywhere.
However, it is because of such a lively human scene.
That's why Han Tuo feels so lonely.
It's like in a desolate wilderness, guarding a small circle of campfires alone, without companions, surrounded by a world that cannot be helped by him.
Even so, this thin and lonely man still has a burning heart and wants to save the world.
