"Is that boy the master of the town?" Pedro couldn't help but think so.

At the same time, he also wondered, after the battle just now, the human race should have realized his strength, what is the point of retreating now?

Even if the boy was really the lord of the city, why would they think that a young man who looked weak could bring victory to the town?

Pedro couldn't understand, so he walked over slowly, trying to find out why.

And this happened to be expected by the Emir, who roughly understood his personality by observing the Dark Knight's every move.

For example, after learning that his opponent is weak, he is not in a hurry to kill everyone, but as soon as he finds that someone can pose a threat to him, he immediately moves his real character.

This shows that this dark knight has a high level of intelligence, which is completely different from ordinary monsters who only know how to kill.

And judging by his careful observation of the knight's swords, he was either interested in the swords, or in the craftsmen who forged them.

As a result, the emir made a puzzling strategic deployment, which also set up a suspense to lure Pedro into the bait, and sure enough, the final result was so.

Of course, he didn't come up with an effective way to defeat Pedro, just delayed it in order to get to know him better and have more time to think about what to do.

"You're the city lord?" Pedro stood twenty meters away from the emir and said lightly.

"My name is Emir, and unfortunately you guessed wrong, I'm just a craftsman in charge of forging weapons."

The distance between the two sides was not close, but the emir could still feel a coercion, and he could only force a conversation with him.

"Oh?" Pedro was slightly surprised, and then mocked, "Hmph, less coming, if you are really an ordinary person, how can those knights with good strength obey your orders and still hide behind you?" ”

When Lydia heard this, she felt very uncomfortable, she didn't expect that these knights would rely on an ordinary teenager.

She knew very well that the emir was just pretending to be calm, and if the enemy saw through it, she would definitely be in danger, so she was ready to rush in front of the emir at any time.

“…… Let's not talk about that," the emir couldn't answer, so he had to change the subject, "I see that you are different from those monsters, you seem to have a high level of intelligence, since you are a dark knight, you should also abide by the etiquette of knights, so you might as well report your name, so that we can be considered dead." ”

"Huh?"

Pedro couldn't help but wonder how bold this teenager was to talk to him on an equal footing.

However, when he heard the emir say that he was a craftsman, he was immediately interested.

He thought that he couldn't lose anyway, so he decided to say a few more words to the young man.

"Alright, then I will be merciful to tell you that my name is Pedro Lyman, and according to you humans, I am indeed the Dark Knight."

"Pedro, huh?" The emir took a deep breath and said, "Then let me ask you, why did you take the knights' swords and take a closer look?" Mo is not interested in the sword I forged. ”

Hearing this, Pedro was stunned and couldn't help but wonder how he saw it, was it just speculation?

So, in order to test the emir, he put on a noncommittal attitude.

"Of course not, I just want to see how backward the forging process of human beings is, and it is really less than one-ten-thousandth of our demon race."

“…… Ahem, yes, yes? "Emir is really not so confident.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Margaret hurried into his ear and said.

"Don't be fooled, I heard him sigh at the time that your forged sword is good."

As soon as the emir heard this, he immediately gained confidence, and he said with a smile.

"Hehe, dear Mr. Pedro, to tell you the truth, I am already the best in the town, is it really so unbearable in your eyes?"

Pedro heard Margaret's whisper and couldn't help but regret not killing her sooner.

At this time, since it has been exposed, he will no longer beat around the bush, after all, he is not good at this kind of thing.

"Forget it, I'll be blunt, I do need a forger to help me do something very important, but you all heard clearly, I just don't have anyone else to look for, it doesn't mean that I really recognize human technology."

Emir couldn't help but snicker, it seemed that this guy, despite his intelligence, did not know how to hide his intentions at all.

"That's great, so we can make a deal?"

"Deal? I don't think you have the qualifications. ”

Pedro's tone was full of disdain, after all, who would trade with a pack of ants.

"Really? In that case, there's nothing to talk about, just kill us. The emir faced him and closed his eyes.

He was gambling, and although he couldn't afford to gamble, he could only gamble hard.

Pedro, however, laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, it's funny, I didn't expect to be threatened by a human teenager, but do you really think I'm a fool?"

After he finished speaking, he rushed straight at Lydia, and Margaret tried to stop it, but couldn't catch up at all.

Pedro held Lydia hostage in an instant, grabbed her by the neck with his hand, and lifted her up.

"Bastard, let her go." Daniel yelled anxiously.

He wanted to rush over to protect his sister, but was kicked away by Pedro, which directly destroyed the protective shield on his body.

"How? As soon as I pushed a little harder, the girl's head would be charred. Pedro said with a sneer.

"Tsk," the emir smacked his lips secretly, thinking that he had really underestimated the people of the demon race, "Okay, what do you want me to do?" ”

"Hahahaha, I just like obedient humans."

Pedro smiled contentedly, he held out his hand into the air, and then a spatial crack appeared, and he pulled something out of it.

When everyone saw the appearance of that thing, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, only to see that it was a big sword about one meter five long, the sword body was very wide, like a slightly narrow shield, the blade looked extremely sharp, and the whole sword was the same as Pedro's armor, roughly dark red, and there seemed to be magma surging on it, which was obviously matched with the armor.

However, I don't know if it was originally there or if it was damaged, but there was a vertical crack in the center of the sword, extending from the hilt to the tip of the sword.

"Let you humans take a look, this is my Flame Sword, Syrt."

Looking at the great sword that seemed to be shrouded in a layer of flames, Margaret thought of the information she had collected before, and it was recorded that each Dark Knight had his own magic sword, and they all contained the power to destroy the world without exception, and even had independent consciousness.

In addition, the most important thing is that once the magic sword is destroyed, its owner will also die.

More than 500 years ago, humans defeated the Dark Knight by destroying the magic sword, so the rift on the magic sword should have been left at that time.

But since the magic sword is in a damaged state, why did Pedro, who is a dark knight, come back to life? Margaret couldn't find any explanation, and there was no record of the comeback of the demons in the book.

"Do you want me to help fix this sword?"

The emir looked at the magic sword, and while secretly marveling, he also guessed Pedro's intentions.

"Well, you're smart," Pedro said with an arrogant face, "but you can tell me clearly, I'm not asking for your help, I'm ordering you, if you want to play any tricks, then collect the bodies of your people." ”

Emir looked at Lydia's pained look and was distressed, but there was nothing he could do but do something for Pedro.

Still, he wanted to fight.

"Don't talk too much, if Lydia has any strengths and weaknesses, you don't expect anyone to fix your precious magic sword."

“…… Tut. ”

Unexpectedly, Pedro was really suppressed by these words, firstly, his magic sword was much more important than a few small humans, and secondly, he seemed to be able to rely on the emir at present.

Because his magic sword is still very fragile, the slightest carelessness will be completely destroyed, and if it is not repaired as soon as possible, there may be some accidents.

"Okay, I can promise you that if you really repair my magic sword, I will consider letting you live."

When Pedro said this, he felt ridiculous, because once he repaired the magic sword, no one here could escape.

Naturally, the emir could not have been clearer, and raised objections.

"How can this work, what if your words don't count?"

"Huh?" Pedro was immediately angry, he didn't expect that he had underestimated this teenager, "Do you do it or not!" ”

When the emir saw him like this, for some reason, he was not afraid at all, after all, it is only when there is nothing to be done that people will be impotent and furious, and the same is true for monsters with wisdom.

"Of course, but you have to give me a guarantee, or I'll wait for your magic sword to be destroyed." Emir said, simply clasping his hands to his chest and putting on a look of aura.

In fact, he couldn't stop shaking all over, but he had to pick himself up.

"You ......"

Pedro hated it for the first time, the other party was obviously a human being as small as an ant, he could pinch it to death with a slight movement of his fingers, but he didn't expect that it was himself who was pinched.

However, after all, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and think about how to make the emir feel at ease to repair the magic sword.

After thinking for a while, he finally came up with an idea, he put Lydia on the ground and said coldly.

"You guys, take everyone in town and leave."

“…… What? Daniel was dumbfounded.

Even Margaret and Sain were amazed, wondering if the Dark Knight had a good heart and changed his ways.

"Less nonsense, let me go, as far as you want." Pedro exclaimed.

Everyone present was shocked, but Lydia was waiting for the Emir's decision.

"Hehe, since Mr. Pedro has said so, you guys can go and get out of here as soon as possible." The emir smiled and said.

"But, how can you ......" Sayne naturally wouldn't leave him alone.

"It's okay, if sacrificing me alone can save the town, then my life is worth it, but you have to remember me then, and you must set up a monument for me."

Emir said, and made a joke, of course, it wasn't all a joke, and he really wasn't so selfless as to do good deeds without leaving a name.

"Let's go, Sain, and listen to the emir." Lydia grabbed him.

But Sain broke free, glared at Lydia and yelled.

"Sure enough, you're looking forward to the emir's death, aren't you? Is the position of the lord of the city so important? It's worth it for you to ignore the noble faith of the knight, you have disappointed me so much, I look down on you from the bottom of my heart. ”

"No, I...... I'm sorry. ”

Lydia explained in a panic, but unconsciously lowered her head, she was not so flustered when she was held hostage by the Dark Knight.

"Hey, what do you say? It's not up to Lydia to decide, don't you understand our situation? ”

Daniel was also angry, Sain was obviously the most useless here, but he still dared to make a big statement.

At this time, the emir was indifferent to their quarrel, which, although it was not his expectation, was exactly what he wanted.

This would make Pedro let his guard down if he felt that humanity would only engage in infighting at critical times.

"Ahem."

He coughed lightly twice, and winked at Margaery,

Margaret, who had been paying attention to the state of the emir from the beginning, naturally noticed this detail.

With her knowledge of the emir, such a move must have a deep meaning.

She thought to herself, if it was usual, seeing Sain and Lydia turn against each other, Emir would definitely persuade her immediately, but at this time, instead of doing so, he made a look at her, did he just want such a situation to happen?

Either way, she had reason to believe that the Emir had figured out a way to deal with the Dark Knight.

Next, all she had to do was cooperate with the Emir, so she decided to convince Sain.

"Don't quarrel," said Margaret, with a sad expression, "what else can we do, either sacrifice one of the Emirs, or we all die here, Sain, and if you really choose the latter, then we have nothing to say." ”

When Sain heard this, he was silent, for he knew what was the right choice, which was to sacrifice the Emir for the survival of all.

At this point, Pedro couldn't help but yawn, his patience had run out.

"Hey, tell you to get away, didn't you hear? It's so boring that you want me to say, if you provoke me, none of you will survive. ”

The knights were all frightened by the threatening words.

"Let's go, Sain." Lydia took Sain's hand.

Unexpectedly, this time he did not refuse, perhaps even he recognized the fate of the emir.

Subsequently, the people of the town went out of the city through the back door under the command of Lydia and others.

Sain was the last to leave, and he glanced back at Emile every few steps, but Emir didn't have the courage to look him in the eye for fear of repentance.

This time he must be more than lucky, he didn't want to die alone alone, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to do it.

"I'm sorry, Sain, for not being able to work with you." The emir looked at his back and whispered.

Ten minutes later, everyone was gone, and only Emir and Pedro were left in the town.

"Well, you should be satisfied now, right?"

"Hmph, it's okay, at least you expressed your sincerity." The emir assumed dismissiveness.

"In that case, then don't bother, and repair the magic sword for me." Pedro stuck his sword in the ground.

Emir walked over and put his hand on the hilt of his sword, trying to pull it out, but he couldn't pull it out, and not only that, he felt as if his hand was burned, and it hurt fiercely.

"Uh, can you please take the sword to the weapons workshop?" He said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Hmph, forgive me for not being able to pick it up, humans are really useless." Pedro snorted coldly and drew his sword with ease.

He just stuck his sword on the ground, in fact, he deliberately embarrassed the emir, and wanted to take the opportunity to belittle him, after all, the emir made a lot of setbacks just now.

Actually let go of so many humans at once, if this was known by the demons, they would definitely regard him as a shame, although the low-level monsters did not dare to have an opinion, but those three colleagues would not let him go easily, let alone the demon king.
