Chapter 18: The Mirror Demon
Cumberland regretted that if he had gone to Marz earlier and interfered with Susie's matter, perhaps the old man's daughter would not have been killed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 But for the sake of Dunbar's affairs, the Son of God chose to forbear for the time being, and did not take any action against Marz, and he did not want anyone to notice that he was going to attack those who were profiting or running amok in the name of the gods.
But Susie is dead, Cumberland's promise to Ciri cannot be fulfilled, and he does not know how he can face the old man, the slum people, who sooner or later will think that the Son of God is nothing more than a liar. Cumberland let go of Cobb, he hung his head sadly, feeling that he was powerless, and he couldn't even solve the problem of a poor person, how could he face a continent?
"Don't be sad, Cumberland, it's not your mistake. Belinda took the back of the Son of God's hand, wanting to bring him a touch of warmth.
"It's my mistakes, it's me who doesn't think things through properly, it's me who thinks of them too kindly. Cumberland sighed, but when he looked up, his gaze was more determined, and he held Belinda's hand in the palm of his hand. "But all the mistakes, I will only make them once. ”

Dunbar was still more lenient to the servants who served him all the year round, including those servants of the demon race, and he did not kill them, but asked Palmer to send all these aliens back to their homeland. In order to avoid being annoying, the big butler Palmer got a caravan and packed the demons and gnomes into it to complete his final mission.
The matter of the gnomes was easier to solve, and Palmer drove to the port of Homenda, where he bought a small boat, and asked the boatman to send the two gnomes across the river, and warned them never to return, not to return to the human world, and to bury their previous experiences deep in their stomachs, so as not to bring death to the whole clan. After crossing the lower reaches of the Luyin River and crossing a short stretch of primeval forest, the gnomes can return to their territory.
Palmer left the harbor and began to walk northwest, towards the desert of Jinkeburn, where they crossed the fiefdom of the Marquis of Isaac and saw a desolation. The volcanic eruption destroyed everything, leaving the city and town to ashes, and all the dust as far as the eye could see.
Palmer knew that Brian had taken in all the people of the Marquis's fiefdom and moved them south to the Misty Forest, and that he would also go there after completing the Lord's explanation and continue to take care of Miss. Palmer plans to return to his hometown after leaving the Jinkeburn Desert, after all, he hasn't been back for decades, and this may be the last chance of his life to spend time in his homeland.
"Do you miss home?" asked Palmer, who also had the Lamp Demon, the Mirror Demon, and the Gardener's Demon in the carriage, but these were all names given to them by humans based on their functions, not their original names. The lamp demon is a luminous body, it is always like a suction cup, adsorbed on the roof of the car, constantly changing its body, emitting all kinds of brilliance, and now there is no order to it, you can shine at will according to your own preferences.
"Home?" the Mirror Demon sighed desolately, "There is really nothing to miss in a place like the Demon Realm. The best resources are all occupied by the Demon Emperor, and the other demons can only live in a place with a harsh environment, and I really don't want to go back. ”
"Then go back too, in the human world, you are in danger all the time!" Palmer stressed, "if the church finds out, the consequences are unimaginable." ”
The demons were silent, they may have long been accustomed to the comfortable life of the castle, although they have to serve the humans, but compared to the demon world that cannot survive, it is still much better.
"In the Demon Realm, there are no mirrors. "Mirror Demon Dao.
"Dan, you don't have to live in a mirror all the time, now you can be free to be wherever you want. Palmer persuaded.
"But I like mirrors. ”
The caravan drove all the way to the edge of the desert, Palmer no longer went deeper into it, he knew that in this desert, there was a secret place, which was the passage between the demon world and the main plane, and some demons would use this passage to come to the main plane.
In the following decades, the demons did not invade on a large scale, and seemed to be dormant waiting for the opportunity. Dunbar has been worried about this problem, he has patrolled the Jinkeben Desert many times, hoping to find the passage and seal it, but the ninth-level Sacred Domain powerhouse has not been able to find the location of the passage, perhaps the location of the passage has been changing. Dunbar caught a lot of escaped demons and forced them to say the exit of the passage, but those beings couldn't figure out the specific location of the passage, they just relied on instinct, roughly sensed where the passage was, and then waited there, a huge hole would suddenly crack in the desert, and then they returned to the demon world in a daze.
Dunbar had no choice but to give up, brought back a few demons, and after slow training, eventually became a loyal servant of the castle. Of course, the reason why the demons obey Dunbar is mainly because of the bloodline of Helois, the bloodline of the Demon Emperor, which deeply intimidates any monster.
"Go, go to the desert, find your way home, never come back, as your friends, we say goodbye here. Palmer's voice was a little mournful, after all, he had been with these servants for decades.
The Lamp Demon, the Mirror Demon, and the Gardener's Demon all hugged Palmer and then walked out into the depths of the desert, where they returned to their original forms, ugly and grotesque.
Palmer watched the three demons until he couldn't see them, then he got into the caravan and traveled alone in the direction of his hometown.
Dan suddenly stopped leaving, standing in the middle of the desert in a daze, and the other two demons felt strange when they saw its appearance. The gardener said, "Dan, keep going, this is not the location of the passage, is there something wrong with your perception?"
The Mirror Demon shook its strange and terrifying head: "No, I'm not leaving, I don't want to go home, there is no mirror in the Demon Realm, I want to go back to the mirror." ”
"Palmer told us never to go back!" reminded the Lamp Demon.
"No, I can't live without the mirror, I have to go back, go back to the farmstead, wander in the mirror, that's my best home. Dan said firmly, and it began to walk back.
The Mirror Demon and the Gardener Demon didn't stop them, they were just a little confused by Dan's behavior, they didn't know whether to move forward or backward, and after thinking for a long time, the two demons walked together and disappeared into the depths of the desert.

"A major discovery, please report to the chief of the referee, when Valmer City was researching the castle of the refuge farm, he caught a demon monster in a huge dressing mirror. "On the other side of the mirror crystal, the voice of the city lord of Vamer City sounded.
When the deputy chief heard the news, his eyes lit up, and he immediately rushed into the office to report to Cumberland.
"Immediately send a capable escort team to escort the demons to Heavenly Grace City as quickly as possible. I will inform all the sects along the way and do my best to protect you. Cumberland was overjoyed and ordered solemnly. (To be continued.) )
