ps: p.s. As the end of the ninth article, send a long chapter, and also make up for the previous illness...... Thank you for your understanding and support~

The story of the victory over the Demon Serpent by the Heavenly Messenger and the Prophet had apparently been spread by the deserted guards, and when the injured Xiulin was sent here, they offered to vacate a room for them. There are only two earthen houses in the jujube orchard, and most of the residents can only huddle outside with cloaks. The rain didn't come here at all, they lit a fire early and spent the nightmare night outside.

In fact, it was also the night when the nightmare ended.

Laxis looked at the poor people in silence. She has already done everything she can do, and she has also helped to treat people who are too seriously injured, after all, these people are pagan Kui people, and it is unlikely that she will give full trust to her, a strange outsider, so why should she ask too much?

Overlapping whispers, desert people praying around the fire.

To whom do you pray?

Until the end, most people don't know that they have been deceived by a demon. Devany Snow Ling, the messenger of the Kingdom of Heaven, did not choose to uncover this shocking truth, but solemnly told them that Lord Huofeng had left, and the outsiders had given up attacking this desert, and everything had passed.

Probably, Devany knows these people well. After a catastrophe, the unacceptable truth only makes them more miserable, and perhaps, as time goes on, some of them who are less stubborn in their minds will realize what they did wrong. But now......

Let this nightmare end peacefully.

The door of the earthen hut opened, and the people by the fire stood up one after another, and Artel stood on tiptoe and put his hands on the pergola to look in that direction.

"Well, I'll just say Miss Joan will be fine......

As if he had once worried about Xiulin's safety, Yatel lowered his shoulders in an exaggerated motion and breathed a sigh of relief. As she stepped out the door, Daphne waved at Laxis cordially, and Carlo Plante was visibly stunned and owed Laxis and Atlle.

"Ah, it turns out that Lord Laxis didn't go back!" Exclaimed Isha as she covered her mouth and whispered, quickly. Her face was bright. He waved at Laxis as well. Seeing Aisha's smiling face as warm and bright as the morning sun, Laxis knew there should be nothing to worry about here. Ivan was also looking this way, and he seemed to think it was strange that Laxis would be waiting outside with Artel. It's a strange thing indeed.

Laxis looked like she was about to speak. But in the end. As if she understood something, she nodded and waved her hand slightly. Then turn around and leave. The crowd resounded with excitement, Xiulin had become the prophet they admired at this time, the prophet was safe and sound, and their faces were all filled with excitement from the heart.

The idea of the desert people is simple, they just want to have something to rely on.

Artel followed Laxis, with an innocent smile on his face like a child getting candy, and Laxis couldn't help but stare at him alertly.

"What else do you want to do?"

"I thought I was already an accomplice with Miss Flotica. Yatel's smile became a little subtle, "Miss Flotica, do you want to go to the border of the Kingdom of Madland, hmm...... It's better to worry about the safety of the border. ”

"The border of the Kingdom of Madland?" a chill oozed from the bottom of Laxis's heart.

Yatel knows a lot of things.

However, Artel probably wouldn't have guessed what was going on in her heart, and in any case, she had to be careful when talking to someone with a "black star" on her hand. At this time, go somewhere on the border of the Kingdom of Madland, say Sapphire Town...... It doesn't fit.

"Isn't there the great Lord Borenforz who is worried about the future of all mankind? Marina has gone back, why don't I go back?"

Laxis snorted, acting indifferently, but unconsciously looked away.

......

Early morning mist envelops the sapphire town in the south of the Kingdom of Fatland.

In the past, there were already early risers opening the doors of their shops, but not today. The news of the third magic general's appearance in the Rebelo Desert was immediately transmitted to the magic alliance office set up here through the guò magic communicator, and the southern part of the Foddland Kingdom quickly entered a state of alert.

Walking down a quiet forest path, a young man walks into a cemetery on the outskirts of the town. The warmth of spring has tinted this little-visited cemetery with a verdant greenery. The wildflowers have not yet stretched their petals, and the wet buds are like stars sinking into the blades of grass.

The tombstones were covered with moss, and no one took the time to clean them. Sapphire Town has long been a new Sapphire Town, and these unbearable pasts are buried here and gradually forgotten. Yes, even the townspeople of Sapphire Town, who do not know the truth of history, are buried in this place.

"I'm sorry, I'm here again, Brandley. ”

The morning breeze puffed up the young man's long black trench coat, and he raised his hand and tucked his falling silver hair into his hood. Asa Hernos stood alone in the middle of the cemetery, with no name engraved on it. Asa didn't have any flowers in his hand, he just stood here and just watched.

"See? The world is going to be in chaos again. Sloth, as well as Rust, the demons are expected to lose their breath soon. There's nothing you can do to change anything, and neither do I, can you?

"Just like you back then, knowing that you couldn't do anything, you still had to break into your town, and you didn't save anyone to the last time. But I always feel that you have never regretted it, you are the kind of person who never thinks about the consequences of doing things, and has no heart and lungs. ”

Gently curling the corners of his mouth, Asa greeted the tombstone of his deceased friend with a smile, the leaves rustling in the wind like the singing of ghosts.

Before 1858, this town was built in the south of the lake, and at that time the town was not called a sapphire town, nor was it a scenic tourist town, but a mining town. It is called "Zhelin". The minerals mined in Zhelin Town are the Magic Guiding Primordial Crystals.

At that time, there was no organization in the world to manage new magical technology, although the Yellin Church did not approve of new magical technology at that time, but the declining church was powerless to prevent the spread of magic devices and magic magic weapons, and at the same time, the magic guide crystal as a raw material also became a variety of open and hidden goods in the market, and the mining town became very rich for a while. Although at that time, the tragedy caused by the improper mining of the Magic Guiding Primordial Crystal was not uncommon at all, the town was still immersed in greedy desires.

A large part of the Magic Guiding Primordial Crystals mined in Zhelin Town are precious Phantom Attribute Primordial Crystals, which are very wonderful, sometimes silvery or gray. Sometimes it's a splash of color. It's like a strange gem. But this kind of protocrystal is also the most likely to affect humans. The greedy people of Zhelin Town are gradually affected by the illusion attribute primordial crystal, and the destruction of the town is not due to the attack of monsters, but the cannibalism of human beings.

"It's spring again. This spring. Your hometown is still so beautiful. To be buried in such a beautiful place, to be honest, I envy you a little. You're dead. But you have become the hero of the legend, and I, the 'Demon Leader', are still alive, and I have not seen him for a long time. Sometimes, I really want to hear your thoughts, are you too confident in your own strength, or are you stupid again? You're too stupid, so stupid that I can't even do anything about you, I really can't ......."

Asa shook his head, crouched down, and gently touched the white buds growing in front of the tombstone, as if he were touching a baby smiling at him ignorantly.

The legend of the "town of death" that circulated in Sapphire Town was invented by Asa. Due to the huge benefits brought by the Illusion Origin Crystal at that time, the fear of illusion was overcome by the people, and they did not give up these "demonic treasures" even though some people had already begun to raise their butcher knives against their loved ones. Eventually, more and more townsfolk are trapped in hallucinations, and the town is locked down by the crazy townspeople, and the once rich town becomes a living hell.

Even the outsiders who were close to this town were not spared from being killed, and no one knew what was going on in Zhelin Town, only that the mining town was an absolute forbidden area.

Another companion of Brandley Gale was Asa.

Hearing that something had happened to his hometown, Brandley immediately rushed here, and the desperate spiritual energy emitted by the people who were killing each other was absorbed by the Phantom Attribute Magic Guiding Crystal, and the town no longer looked like a town where humans lived at all. Looking through the bloodstained gate of the town, there were a lot of illusion attribute primordial crystals everywhere, and some humans had even mutated into monsters. As the owner of the "Demon Feather", the contract he made with the demons made so that Brandley's body would not be polluted by the original magic, but he was still a human after all, and the human body was very fragile.

Asa's ring, the black star, was in Bradley's hand. Before Brandley stormed the town, Asa grabbed him and told him to return the ring to him.

- I can help you!

He shouted as hard as he could, but was thrown away by a stubborn Bradley, who still remembers the grimness of Bradley's face. Bradley asked him to leave the town, but he didn't, and climbed the walls that the townsfolk had built to defend against the monsters.

Outcome...... That's a speechless way to die.

Brandley, who couldn't bear to kill the townspeople, was stabbed in the heart by the girl he held in his arms and had been slashed by others, and in the girl's hallucination, Brandley was probably the enemy. Asa stood on the wall and saw this scene from afar, and from afar he saw Heberbaie, covered in silver light, rising into the sky like madness, and pounced on everyone around Bradley. The contract ended, and Heberbay turned back into an ordinary demon, his claws tearing apart the bodies of those people, blood and corpses everywhere, reflecting the red eyes of the white bird, and awakening its bloodthirsty instinct and the desire for the "black star".

Hebbayy had done the most dangerous thing of all, and if Brandley were still alive, he would not have been allowed to do it. He pulled out the small box of refining mythril from the dead Blandley and kicked it open, and the ring surrounded by a black halo rose. "The demon leader killed everyone in the town. "The ring returned to the owner's hands, and Zhelin Town completely ushered in the end.

"Scold me. ”

Asa propped up his chin and looked at the tombstone of his former friend with a look of nostalgia, "Sometimes I really want to hear you scold me, like before, but unfortunately, I can only wait for later." I don't know when I'll see you. Can a soul like me still see you?"

Even the heirs of the Black Star don't know what the world looks like after death.

"Until then, there are a few things to prepare. ”

Finally, with a sigh, Asa stood up. He can't stay here for long, the south of the Kingdom of Foddland is patrolling everywhere now, and the Wizard Alliance will also send people, he has to leave here.

There was really only one person alive in the "town of death".

That man was not the legendary sorcerer Bradley Gale, but Asa, the "demon leader" who killed all the townspeople.

Afterwards. Asa awoke from an uncontrollable desire to ruin. Suddenly realizing that a powerful organization was necessary to manage this terrible force, he spent nearly a year finding a group of researchers of new magical technologies, such as Margaret Esmedra, and joined the "New Magical Technology Scholars Association". And twenty years later. On October 9, 1869. Together with Margaret and others, he established the Magic Mentor Alliance.

......

There was no image in the small jade-like mirror.

"Rosa, Rosa, answer me, answer me, answer me!" the white little hand grasped the mirror and shook it, and a red diamond-shaped stone beside it was shaken. Already the drama liè flickered all night. Rosalena wasn't dead yet, but she was still in danger, and the red glow in the stone was getting dimmer and dimmer, and if it continued like this, the stone might shatter too, just like the ice-blue stone.

Mo Linshi had no idea that the Fire Mirror in Rosalina's hand had fallen into the hands of the human magician, and Ivan, who had obtained the Fire Mirror from Xiulin, didn't know how to use the red mirror, and the connection between the magic mirrors was always broken. The little rabbit drooped her head and burst into tears, if something happened to Rosalena, she would really become a ...... Alone!

"Actually, you don't want Rosa back at all. ”

Maureen suddenly raised her head, and a gentle and seductive voice sounded in her head. She yelled "no", dropped the mirror, and pulled a pair of long ears to the sides of her head. She wore a wide-brimmed hat with the brim pressed down by her ears, which must have been uncomfortable.

"I don't think so! Rosa is very good to me! I hope Rosa is safe!"

"But it's because of Rosa and Ann Li that you'll always be just a 'useless rabbit', and they will use whatever you have in your treasury as if you should provide them with a qiē. Are you their slave?Maureen, you shit, can you only rely on them for protection?" the voice continued, and that voice was exactly the same as Maureen's.

"No, no, no, Rosa and Ann Li never treated me as a slave! Don't say that to me again! I like Ann Li and Rosa very much, I really like them!" Mo Linshi shook her head desperately, trying to get the voice that seduced her out of her head, "I really want to avenge Ann Li, I also want to help Rosa, I am not a 'useless rabbit', I am not a waste! I am not me, I am not me, I am not me, I am not!"

"You are superfluous. The voice snapped, "You should have known that between the two of them, you are superfluous." You take Atter to the vault where you hide his ring, and you hope he will take revenge. When Ann Li left, you just didn't want to wake up and stop her, and the 'method' you taught Rosa wasn't helping her at all! You expect her to mess around among the humans and attract the attention of the Magic Alliance, and you expect the humans to take the initiative to attack Rosa! Rosa's personal strength is still quite terrifying, but if the humans are prepared in advance and attack first, maybe ......"

"No, no, no, no, I don't think so, I don't hate Rosa at all, I never wanted to hurt her!" My heart hurts, it hurts so much that it almost bursts, and I don't know why it hurts so much. Maybe it's because she knows very well in her heart that the voice comes from herself, from another self that she didn't notice.

-- Let's all die.

The dark underground treasure trove came to mind, the little white rabbit holding the spirit staff hung his head, and the silver-haired boy stared blankly at her for a long time, for a long time, and the corners of Yatel's mouth appeared with a smile of relief, even surprise.

- Well, that's right, let them all die, Maureen.
