After some time, the Emir and the others left the demon stronghold, and they retreated while watching out for Cornes' pursuit.

It wasn't until the group returned to Blackpool that the emir could no longer perceive the traces of Cones' magic that they breathed a sigh of relief.

But as Alice fears, if they don't find a way to kill Cornes, they will never be at peace.

Now with the white dragon's magic of reversing time, Emir is indeed not as frightened as before, and the next biggest difficulty is how to solve the problem of Kones's continuous resurrection.

Competing with him for physical strength, whoever runs out first loses, this is the only effective method, and Cornes is also afraid of this.

If it weren't for the fact that their physical strength and magic combined were not comparable to that of Cornes, the Emir would have chosen to continue the stalemate.

"So what do we do next?" Alice finally couldn't help but ask.

After all, it would be too unreasonable to do nothing at this time, but to be complacent because of the temporary survival.

"Don't worry, Alice, Emir will definitely figure it out, let's get some rest." Ophelia reassured.

The Emir was grateful for this, because they were facing an unfathomable demon king, and if they didn't deal with it in the best condition, they wouldn't have a chance of winning.

However, he could also understand Alice's thoughts, after all, dragons are not like humans, they have never known what exhaustion is.

“…… Alice no longer insisted, and she went to the gate, and said to the others, "take a break and I'll stand guard." ”

Emir couldn't help but sigh secretly, this guy looked frizzy, but he didn't expect his mind to be quite delicate.

"Well, then please." The emir said solemnly.

Subsequently, they entered the town together.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, Emir sensed a very familiar trace of magic power, and a burst of unprovoked joy suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart, because he knew that it was Anne who had returned.

A few minutes later, everyone gathered in the hall of the City Lord's mansion.

Emile noticed that Anne was accompanied by three unfamiliar faces.

One was a woman who looked to be in her twenties and had an elegant temperament, the other was also a woman of about the same age, she wore a pair of monocles, she didn't seem to pay much attention to her image, her long brown hair was unkempt, and she had deep dark circles, and the last one was obviously a little girl, but since she could come with Anne, it was not an idle person.

At this time, they were planning to hold a battle meeting to deal with the attack of the Demon King, or rather, to defeat the Demon King.

Anne noticed Emir's gaze and took the opportunity to make an introduction.

"Let me introduce you to you, they are members of Pandora's Box, an organization to which I belong, this is Lusty Brewster, the title is the Blue Witch, as you can see is a nerd, nothing else special, and this one is powerful, the second strongest of our seven witches, Charlotte Stuart, known as the Obsidian Witch......"

Anne paused as she saw her sister look surprised, and of course so did Emile.

Obviously, their surnames are all the same Stuart who is very famous in the Empire, which means that whether they recognize each other or not, they are at least related.

Anne then did not dwell on the topic, after all, the situation was urgent, so she continued.

"Let's discuss the details later, of course, provided that we all survive, although the last one is not a full member of the organization, her strength exceeds that of most witches......"

Before Anne could finish speaking, the little girl smiled cheerfully and stood up, having to stand in a chair because the table was high.

"Hello brothers and sisters, my name is Mi'er, I will try to help in the next battle, so please give me more advice in the future."

She looked like a child who had just entered the school to introduce herself, it was not that the emir looked down on people, he was just worried about whether such a little girl could really participate in the battle against the demon king.

Because many of the people present had magical powers, the emir couldn't tell who these messy traces of magic belonged to, so he didn't know Mi'er's strength.

Of course, Anne also knew that most people here did not believe in Mi'er's strength, but as long as she was sure, even the Emir would not say anything.

Next, Emir also introduced the other three newcomers to the situation, and then the meeting officially began.

The content of the meeting was simple, they already had a way to control Cones, who had become the Demon King, and all that was left was to crack his amazing recovery ability.

At this time, Ophelia spoke, but with some questioning.

"Annie, didn't you say that the seven witches of your organization would all participate in the battle against the Demon King? But at the end of the day, none of your leaders showed up, what the hell is going on? ”

Sure enough, Anne looked embarrassed when she heard this, because she had told Emir the same thing at first, but now she had not fulfilled her promise, although it was not her problem, but in the face of questioning, she had to take responsibility.

"I'm so sorry." Anne bowed her head.

Seeing this, Mi'er on the side also apologized.

However, Ophelia was embarrassed by this, and she did not blame Anne for her thoughts.

"No, you misunderstood, in fact, I want to say, since your leader didn't come, then you can just join our camp, of course, this is only temporary, and everyone will be okay after the battle."

There is no doubt that Katerina, the Red Flame Witch, would not have agreed to such an unreasonable request if she was present, after all, she and Byron were also in competition.

But Anne and the other two witches are different, they joined Pandora's Box in the first place just to find a place to live without a dispute with the world, they don't have much obsession with the throne, and they don't understand the importance of the throne to Katerina.

So, the three witches made a decision after a little discussion, in fact, Anne had considered Katerina's opinion, but as a revenge for the irresponsibility of the eldest sister, she didn't care so much.

"Of course you can, we have the same purpose anyway."

"That's great, it looks like our decapitation team has been put together all at once." Ophelia clapped her hands excitedly.

At this time, Charlotte looked at the emir.

"You just fought the Demon King, didn't you? Tsk, you can all come back alive, your strength is really not simple. ”

"Everywhere, it's all up to this Mr. White Dragon, who can use the magic of reversing time." Emile explained with a smile.

Charlotte was immediately interested, because her best magic was also reversing time, but it could only affect what happened within two minutes at most, and she didn't expect that there would be a dragon with the same magic.

She then began to have an in-depth discussion with the White Dragon, which was mostly theoretical topics that the Emir did not understand, but it was conceivable that they could control Cornes for a longer period of time.

"Ahem," the reticent witch Lesty suddenly spoke, "By the way, have you ever heard of a legendary ore that can inhibit the self-healing ability of monsters?" ”

The emir, of course, knew best, and responded to her.

"Of course, you should be talking about the gold sparkle, I just have a sword made of 100% gold sparkle here."

After he finished speaking, he took out the holy sword he had with him, and handed it to Lusti through the table.

"Oh?"

Rusty looked surprised, she carefully took the sword, and then gently stroked and observed it as if it were a priceless treasure.

The emir thought to himself that this witch must be very fond of collecting treasures.

"That's remarkable, by the way, Emir, where did you get it? Because as far as I know, pyroxene is not something that humans can easily obtain, and even if they get their hands on it, it cannot be forged, and legend has it that only elves know this technique. ”

At this time, in order to explain the situation to her, Ophelia took off her helmet, after all, there was no need to hide it now.

When Lusti saw her appearance, she suddenly realized, but then she was a little disappointed.

"This sword does have the ability to kill the Demon King, but unfortunately, it has not awakened to the power it should have."

The emir could naturally understand what she meant, but the problem now was that it was impossible for him to pin his hopes on the ethereal holy sword, so he still had to think of other ways to deal with the demon king.

However, Lustie changed her mind.

"But, Émile, I've heard of a solution that I don't know if it's reliable, would you like to hear it?"

"What?"

The emir seemed to see hope again.

"Oh, Lestie, don't sell it," Anne urged, "it's all about time, whether it's reliable or not." ”

"Well, Anne should have said it, our Pandora's Box has been collecting information related to the demons, according to some intermittent information at present, the four dark knights under the command of the demon king all have their own magic swords, these magic swords are mixed with gold sparkle, so they can awaken their own consciousness, and their way is to sacrifice their most important person, in other words, the so-called independent consciousness is just to integrate the soul of the sacrifice into the magic sword, and there is a strong bond between the sacrifice and the sword master, Naturally, he will serve the sword master wholeheartedly. ”

“…… I see. The emir was thoughtful.

While this method does make sense, it comes at the expense of the most important person in his own right, and the emir could not do such a thing.

The moment he heard these words, Emile subconsciously thought of a few people, Ophelia, Annie, or Lilith? He couldn't tell who was most important, but even if he had the answer, he wouldn't be able to put it into practice.

"Is that all there is to it?"

"I don't know the specifics," Lesty shook her head, "to be honest, I'm not sure the authenticity of this information, and besides, you're not going to do that, are you?" ”

She returned the sword to the emir, and fell silent, seemingly unable to think of anything else.

Next, everyone else put forward their own ideas, but none of them were feasible, and the meeting reached an impasse.

However, at this moment, an annoying trumpet sounded from the other side of the city gate.

The emir had previously arranged for scouts to issue an alarm when danger was coming, and it was Kones who should have chased after him.

However, Cornes was temporarily unable to crack the White Dragon's magic, and the Emir could not figure out why he would attack again.

"Let's go, let's go out and have a look, presumably Alice is in a hard fight."

So they hurried out of the city gates, and when they arrived, they found that there was a large group of enemies, more than a hundred of them, all of whom looked exactly like Cornes.

Although there is nothing to fear about Cornes' stand-in, it still makes Emir's scalp tingle when he comes so much at once.
