“…… Baby? The emir could not help but suspect that he had misheard.

If it's true, does that mean that this young girl actually has a child, after all, only when she talks about her own child, she will be called "my baby".

Not only Emile, but even Ophelia felt outrageous, and was speechless in shock for a while.

On the other hand, Anne, she seemed to want to see their expressions, and she couldn't help but hold her stomach and laugh.

"Hahahaha."

The two of them still didn't know why, and they both looked at each other, but after a while, the emir was the first to react that he had been tricked.

"No, my stomach hurts from laughing." Anne couldn't stop laughing, and sat down on the ground.

At this time, the other two understood what was going on, and looked at her with a cold expression.

Perhaps sensing that something was wrong, Anne coughed in embarrassment, and immediately stood up and bowed her head to the two of them to admit her mistake.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! ”

"Well, that's pretty much it," said the emir, snorting coldly, and then saying, "and what do you mean by that?" ”

"Hehe, literally, of course."

Then, under the emir's puzzled gaze, Anne unleashed a summoning spell through a small piece of paper.

With a flash of pale green light, a strange thing appeared in front of them.

After a while, the light dissipated, and the emir finally saw the true face of the object, it turned out to be a strong wolf, about a meter high, with a slender body, and the fur on its whole body was thick and shiny, strangely, its body color was earthy gray, and its eyes looked dull, in short, it did not feel like a normal wolf.

"It's ......"

"It's all said, it's my baby, it's really not easy to help you swallow so many monsters before, right? Fenrir. ”

Anne bent down and petted the wolf's head, and the wolf, Fenrir, stuck out his tongue and licked her hand.

But no matter how wolf-like it behaved, Emile felt a sense of disobedience until Ophelia told the truth.

"It's a magical creation, isn't it?"

"Oh? So you can see it. ”

"Of course, it looks like this is supposed to be a creation of the earth element, by the way, what are your magical attributes? Earth elemental? Ophelia continued to ask.

Anne shook her head and explained.

"My magic is wind-based, but Fenrir is indeed an earth elemental creation, given to me by my teacher, but don't think it's lifeless."

"Hey, I didn't hear that magical creatures have life." Ophelia was clearly not convinced.

This seemed to be expected by Anne, so she continued.

"Indeed, most people won't believe it, after all, the field that the teacher is good at is alchemy, which is rare in the entire empire, let alone creating life, in the eyes of those high-level in the wizarding world, this is already taboo, but believe it or not, Fenrir has life, you say, right?"

Anne said, looking at the wolf named Fenrir, who nodded as well.

When Emir saw this, he couldn't help but be amazed, which also strengthened his determination to learn magic.

But before that, he still has one more important thing to do, and that is to use Anne's power to take over the more than 300 villagers.

Anne also remembered what he had just said, so she said.

"By the way, what did you mean when you asked me if my magic could teleport?"

Seeing that she had such a good memory, and that she had taken the initiative to ask, the emir decided to share her thoughts.

"Here's the thing......"

Then the emir made his request, and he was ready, and whatever reward Anne offered, he would do his best to meet it.

However, Anne's reaction was unexpected.

"Of course you can, but you don't have to pay or anything."

"Why?" The emir asked.

Even Ophelia wondered, after all, this was something other than dealing with demons, and a real person like her had no reason to help for free.

"Haha, don't think of me so ruthlessly, I just invited you to help me deal with the demons, so I should also show corresponding sincerity, right? And it's just a gesture for me. ”

When the emir heard her say this, he was finally relieved.

When he heard Anne say that she should not be rewarded, he became afraid, because since she was a very practical person, she would definitely ask for something, if not for payment, then something more valuable than ordinary payment, such as the soul.

He had seen in a storybook the witch stealing the knight's soul.

"Huh? Amir, you're not thinking about any faux pas, are you? Anne leaned over and stared at his face.

Emile could even feel her breathing, so he quickly took a half step back and kept his distance from Anne, after all, the other party was a girl, and he couldn't get so close to the man he met for the first time, otherwise his little heart would not be able to stand it.

"No," said the emir, who shook his head hurriedly, "I wonder if you want to be paid or not, but I must do my best to be a landlord, or I will not be happy." ”

"Ah......h

"Indeed, Emir is right," Ophelia also stood up to persuade her, "and when this is done, we must at least entertain you, or if it gets out, we will be accused of ignorance of basic etiquette." ”

“…… Alas," Anne knew she could not shirk, so she agreed, "then I would be respectful and obey." ”

In fact, she doesn't want to owe favors to others, she has been a maverick for so many years, even if she joins Pandora's box, she is also the coldest among the sisters, just because she has seen the sinister heart and the cold world since she was a child, which has produced a psychological shadow.

So, this is the third time she has accepted the kindness of others, the first two being rescued by the teacher and joining Pandora's box.

……

After the three of them had settled, Anne began to introduce the conditions for teleportation magic to be activated.

"In order for teleportation magic to work, it must be marked in two places, the beginning and the end, such as the one I asked Emir to unleash last night, which started on the small piece of paper I made, and ended in Fenrir's stomach, which can convert monsters into pure magic and store them in an instant."

"I see." The emir nodded.

"Well, so if you want to transfer those villagers next, you have to draw a magic circle in the village as a starting point, and then gather all the villagers inside, of course, this is another magic, and it won't teleport them to Fenrir's belly."

"Haha, of course I understand."

The emir thought it was funny, if he really teleported into the wolf's belly, I am afraid that his career as a city lord would be over.

"Well, then I'll wait here for your good news."

"Huh? Aren't you going with me? The emir was dumbfounded, after all, he didn't know how to draw magic circles.

"Hehe, it's easy." Anne smiled and handed him a small piece of paper.

"Can you draw a magic circle?" The emir looked skeptical.

"Of course, just like you did last night, with a slight pinch, the magic circle on the piece of paper will automatically project onto the ground."

"It's so convenient." The emir couldn't help but marvel.

"Well, if you have any questions, you can ask them now." Anne clasped her hands to her chest, giving her an expression eager to be questioned.

"No, without further ado, I need to hurry up." The emir did not see her intentions.

"Well, well," said Anne, with some disappointment, "go and get back quickly, and be careful on the way." ”

Afterwards, Emir summoned Lilith directly, and then flew into the sky with Ophelia, leaving Anne with a look of envy.

"It's great, if only I had a dragon too."

At this time, Emile waved at her, and then shouted something, but Anne did not hear clearly, so she had to wave in response.

In fact, Ophelia can also not go, but she has always had concerns, that is, whether the more than 300 villagers that Grea said really exists, what if it is a trap?

The emir was not without suspicions, so he did not object to Ophelia acting with him, so that it would not matter if something went wrong.

Lilith flew with them for about ten minutes, which was twice the distance from Emir's hometown to Blackpool.

Along the way, they found no trace of the village, only a seemingly endless sea of forests.

After another ten minutes, Emir looked at the unchanged scene below, and finally realized that something was wrong, because Grea said that he had only walked about three miles, and then he saw the village, but they had already flown dozens of miles, but they had not found even a single figure.

"Tsk, shouldn't you trust that guy?"

"Maybe we're going in the wrong direction, and Grea didn't necessarily go in that direction when she left town." Ophelia reminded him.

"Oh, that makes sense." It dawned on the emir.

Since there is no one in this direction, he will look in other directions, but at this time, he is thinking that if he does not find the village in other directions, he will have to pay the price when he goes back.

After another half hour or so of flying, he finally found a small village on the east side of Blackpool Town, about three miles away from the town.

"Cut, looks like that guy wasn't lying." The emir felt a little disappointed.

Lilith then landed in the small square of the village, and the surrounding villagers were terrified when they saw the behemoth.

An old man accidentally fell to the ground while escaping, and Emir felt guilty and hurriedly said.

"Don't get me wrong, we're not from the Demon Race."

"Phew," the old man realized that he had no way to live, but instead acted very bravely, "how can any monster admit that he is a demon." ”

"Well, you're really wrong," Ophelia helped the old man to his feet and continued, monsters are much simpler than humans, and they will admit it. ”

"Huh? You, how do you know, are you really a monster? The old man shook Ophelia's hand away.

Hearing this, Emir was a little helpless, and Ophelia also felt that it was useless to say more, and suggested that the person in charge of the village should be found first.

Emir looked at the fleeing crowd and suddenly noticed that a man was carrying a heavy bag of heavy things, wrapped in cloth, but a beautiful necklace leaked out of the crack.

Compared with him, other villagers are carrying a small bag of food or bedding, and there will be no nobles in the village, so there is only one possibility, this man who looks like he is in his forties should be the village chief, and he may have made a lot of money through his position.

In fact, when she was on the back of the dragon just now, Ophelia suspected that these villagers might be disguised as monsters, and although they couldn't be identified by magic perception, they were still suspected of being low-level monsters.

But now it seems that these people who only know that they are fleeing when they are in danger are definitely human.

As Ophelia said, monsters are simpler than humans, and when their territory is invaded, they will fight with the invaders instead of fleeing.

After confirming that the man was the village chief, Ophelia rushed out and carried him over.

"Don't, don't kill me." The man quickly begged for mercy with tears in his eyes.

The jewels he was carrying were scattered all over the place, but no one was in the mood to pick them up.

"Tsk, why do you think I'm a bad person?" The emir wondered.

Then Ophelia pointed at Lilith and said.

"Maybe it's because of her."

"Oh, I forgot."

Scratching her head in embarrassment, the Emile quickly withdrew Lilith into the ring.

But there was already a commotion in the crowd, and most of them didn't know what was going on, and only started fleeing when they heard the screams of others.

"Don't eat me, I'm not young, and the meat is not delicious." The man continued to beg for mercy.

"Hey, don't you understand? Monsters don't eat humans. ”

"Uh, how do you know? So you're really a monster. ”

"Ahhh......h

Suddenly, the man saw the old man standing beside him and shouted loudly.

"Please, spare my father, I am willing to die for him."

"Huh?"

"Really, I can give you all these jewels, just beg to spare my father's life, my mother died early, he suffered a lot to raise me, I really don't want him to die like this, so kill me if you want to."

“……”

Emile and Ophelia were stunned, no wonder they were all the same logic, it turned out to be a family, but this son is really filial, even Emile is ashamed of himself, but no matter what, they are not bad people.

"Let's not talk about that, you are the head of this village?" Ophelia gets straight to the point.

"No, my father is." The man hastened to answer.

"Oh?"

The two shifted their gaze to the old man, and now they finally understood, no wonder the middle-aged man looked like a thief, and the old man was obviously more kind and steady.

However, Ophelia was not deceived by his words, and if he was really filial, how could he leave his old father behind and run away with his jewels?

It is impossible to say that he has long found out that the emir is not a bad person, so he wants to deceive them with this statement, so as to get himself out.

At this time, because Lilith disappeared, more and more villagers came to their senses, they did hear that there was an evil dragon at first, so they fled, but after running for a long time, they did not see the shadow of the evil dragon, and they realized that someone spread rumors, causing panic.

Then, when they saw the village chief's father and son and two strangers appear in the square, they gathered together out of curiosity.

"Ahem," the old man saw that the crowd around him was gradually calming down, so he had to stand up and speak, "You are really not bad people? ”

"Of course, I'm here to pick you up and take you to Blackpool Town." The emir directly stated his purpose.

"What? We live well here, why do we have to go to Blackpool Town? The village chief's son stepped forward and asked.

"Shut up, stinky boy!" The village chief scolded, and then said softly to the emir, "Hehe, you are the messenger from Heitan Town, right?" ”

"Well, sort of," Emir nodded, and continued, "You may not know yet, because of the invasion of the demons, the city lord of Blackpool Town, Kresti, has been killed in battle, and now I am the new city lord, but we don't have enough people there, and a large area of land is not cultivated, so ......"

Before the emir could finish speaking, the village chief patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"I see, you're the new city lord, well, yes, you're really young and promising, but ...... I can't promise you, we ordinary people are likely to be discriminated against when we go to Heitan Town, and although we are a little poorer here, we are more free, and the villagers are very comfortable, unlike the servants in the town who only know how to serve the nobles, so if you really do it for our good, please go back. ”

Emir can understand these concerns, if he can, he doesn't want these carefree villagers to participate in the reconstruction of Heitan Town, after all, he has to do the hardest and most tiring thing, but the current situation is not optimistic, and the villagers will be at risk of being attacked by monsters if they continue to stay here.

So, which is more important, freedom and security?

The emir decided to leave it to the villagers to judge, and if they still disagreed, he would not force it.
