"That man is a very cunning illegal magician, and he is also a businessman, doing illegal business in magic crystals and potions. Because he is so cunning that it is a headache for the executors. When I went to the office, I happened to hear them mention this guy. ”

The strange cunning guy being talked about was right outside the door at the moment. However, Asa continued to tell stories to Laxis as if he had no zài.

"I inquired a little bit about him, and then, I found him. But what I didn't expect was that he was so bold that he asked me to let him go once, and made a bet that I wouldn't be caught again in the future. Well, he knows who I am. That man is a very principled illegal magician, I heard that he never harms innocent civilians, and it seems that he once used his own money to help the poor, so he is not bad-hearted...... It's just a bent on going against the alliance.

"If it was me before, I wouldn't have listened to it at all. But that time I said yes to him and made this bet with him. I said that if I didn't catch him again in three months, I wouldn't look for him again. I remember telling you that it was in the fall of that year that I lost the bet. Asa had a slightly helpless smile on his face.

"I, remembered......" Laxis blinked slowly. Nodding her head was too much of a stretch for her. She certainly remembered what Asa had told her that day, and in addition to losing his bet, Asa had told her the astonishing secret of the Ghost Islands.

She didn't understand Asa's expression at the time.

Now that I think about it, maybe that answer isn't complicated at all.

"You...... You won't ...... You really can't catch him, can you?" said Laxis, tugging at the corners of her mouth, her eyes so innocent. It is as if a child who is about to fall asleep hears a very interesting bedtime story, and he must hear the end of the story by holding back his sleepiness. Asa shrugged his shoulders, "Really, he's very good, he spotted my weakness, so, I can't catch him." ”

"That's amazing...... Laxis sighed softly, "that man...... It's true...... It's amazing......"

......

In the autumn of 1915, in the north of the continent of Paland.

An illegal sorcerer known as the Holy Flame relied on his dealings with Nome artisans. Wandered around the castle of the Nome for a long time. The Wizards Alliance generally don't go to the Nome castle. Wizards are not welcome in the Nome either. Asa knew about the relationship between the Holy Flame and the Nomes, and did not want to cause misunderstanding among the Nomes, so he went to the Aurora Mountains alone.

The Holy Flame escapes in the Nome Pathfinder boat to the supposedly deserted island of Hanba Island. Surprisingly, Asa discovered a small fishing village. There are a lot of people in the small fishing village. Although it doesn't look very bustling. Most people dress like pirates.

And among these pirates

There is a "demon race" of the existence zài.

In fact, it wasn't Asa who started the killing. It was the pirates who wanted to attack Asa, and Asa just asked a few words, the pirates. Some of the villagers immediately changed their faces. They are very united, like a huge family, it is hard to believe that there are so many humans colluding with demons in places that the Demon Alliance cannot manage, no matter what, this is a threat to other humans.

However, it was impossible for the pirates and villagers to defeat Asa. Some demons are quite capable, but in the face of the magic of the black stars, they are just small insects that are not capable of themselves. He heard the pirates tell the villagers to leave, in fact, he didn't want to kill so many humans, but those humans fought with their lives to protect the pirates. Soon, Asa discovered the secret.

These humans are not ordinary humans, they are descendants of the demon race!

The black stars are a very special thing.

Many years ago, Asa suddenly felt an irrepressible ecstasy and irritability, as if a powerful force and irresistible desire had poured into his mind. The moment the black star awoke, he became a different person. He forgot his father's warning, which was meaningless.

The darkness easily tore apart the demonic half-blood's body, and the small village turned into a blood-stained nightmare in a matter of moments. The fear of blood and corpses and prey, Asa's never resented them. If there hadn't been a raging fire in front of him, none of those villagers would have been able to escape, right?

Like many years ago.

Interestingly, Flame also happens to be a magician who likes to use rings as weapons, but his magic level is not very good, and what makes people marvel is his guts. The flames were extinguished instantly, and the red-haired man shouted his name loudly, only fiery anger in his voice.

"That's what you want, Asa Hernos?" Flame pointed at him in disdain. Asa silently looked at the flame. The Holy Flame always surprised him, but he could take the Holy Flame's life at any time if he wanted to.

"Is this how your Demon Mentoring Alliance maintains your so-called 'order'? don't you even have the qualifications to live if you don't want to accept it?" Saint Flame angrily pointed at the corpses all over the ground, "What did they do wrong? they, they only attacked you because they were afraid! They are not your opponents at all!"

The way the Holy Flame looked at those demon half-blood corpses was very similar to another person.

Many years ago, that person also used this kind of almost desperate and sad gaze, but still mixed with a trace of unwillingness, quietly looking at those traveling companions who would never stand up again. Asa suddenly felt a cold wind chill through his heart.

It's scary.

Not the Holy Flame, but himself. Ever since he met Laxis, he thought he would never let that happen again.

Asa silently walked up to the Holy Flame, and at that time, the Holy Flame's gaze was still on the face of the dead stranger, and he gently patted the Holy Flame on the shoulder.

The Holy Flame remained motionless, giving up even the last of its resistance.

"Holy Flame. ”

"Do it, I said you can do it. "Holy Flame is simply gritting his teeth with hatred. Asa shook his head and made a gesture of surrender.

"I throw in the towel. ”

“...... What?" the Holy Flame stiffened his neck.

"I've changed my mind and don't want to arrest you anymore. However, I can't control everyone in the alliance, so you better restrain yourself. With that, Asa turned and left. After taking a few steps, he turned around and saw the sturdy man of the Holy Flame standing in place like a statue.

"Maybe you're right. Asa glanced at the frozen faces. Hatred, anger, horror, sadness, despair, their feelings are no different from those of human beings. After the red glow in their eyes disappeared, how did they differ from ordinary humans?

What you don't want to accept, don't you even have the qualifications to live?

That's what I've been thinking about. Since when did I seem to have embarked on a dangerous path. The people who established "order" should not have been me in the first place, nor should it have been a few.

However, by then, it may have been too late.

A lot of things, already, can't be changed.
