The invasion of the demons has been going on for ten years.

The six kingdoms of the human race are shattered, and the world is devastated. Years of war have quietly eaten away at the strength and fighting spirit of each vassal lord, and more and more nobles have begun to collude with the demons, secretly hunting down the outcasts and sending them to the demon realm for sacrifice.

In troubled times, everyone is in danger. No one can predict what tomorrow will bring, and no one knows where to live.

The cold wind was howling, the ice and snow were cold, and the Ice Wolf Castle was dark before dawn.

In the midst of snowflakes, a chocobo galloped past and rushed into the desolate shanty town outside Ice Wolf Castle.

The bird's talons ran wildly, crushing through the dilapidated narrow streets, splashing snow and beating anxiously to the footsteps of chocobos.

Riding was a young man, wearing a hood, a gray cloth cloak, and a beast's tooth on his chest, looking a little wild, hot-blooded, and reckless.

The young man tugged at the reins, and the chocobo hissed as it came to an abrupt halt in front of a two-story abandoned inn.

The door of the inn was broken, and I don't know whose child had piled half a snowman outside the door, with three straws diagonally inserted on his body, two long and one short, swaying slightly in the cold wind.

The young man hurriedly rolled over and landed, shook off his cloak, and shook off the snowflakes all over his body. Although the hole in the door was enough to barely get in, he tapped it three times and re-slapped it twice.

Hearing two coughs from inside the door, he asked softly, "Sister Bella, are you there?" ”

A middle-aged female voice came from inside the door: "You're here?" ”

The door opened, and the dim oil lamp illuminated the darkness in front of him, and a plainly dressed mercenary carried the light and looked around vigilantly, "No one, come in." ”

The young man couldn't help but gasp for breath and asked eagerly, "How's the situation?" ”

Bella led the young man to the inner room, "Reliable information, Ice Wolf Castle has secretly arrested the 'Princess of Fire' Lydia. ”

The young man exclaimed, "She didn't receive our warning? Or does she feel that the warnings of our 'Red Pavilion' are not credible? ”

Bella pushed open a door: "As 'he' expected, of course, it's because we have the hidden stake of the demon here." ”

There was a faint candle flame in the room. An old man with a white beard was strapped to a chair, his shrewd, gloomy eyes staring at the door.

Seeing him, the young man suddenly smiled: "I didn't expect that your patriarch in the past ten years was actually bought by the demon clan to become a spy, it's really surprising." ”

grinned, "The demon clan offered eight thousand gold coins, and we divided it equally, how about it?" ”

Bella sneered and pulled over a chair and sat down, "Eight thousand gold coins? Your demon master is rare and generous, is there any special reason? ”

Whitebeard grinned, "You wouldn't know? ”

Bella suddenly threw out a throwing knife with a smile on her face!

The coldness of the blade passed through Whitebeard's ear, and the chill that pierced his bones made his smile stiffen.

"Remember: women are mostly emotional." Bella took out another throwing knife from under her shirt and played with it in her hand, "Don't provoke a woman who can play with throwing knives." ”

Cold sweat immediately broke out on Whitebeard's forehead, and he hurriedly sat down and said, "A few days ago, the demon clan arrested thousands of people and planned to take them back to the Demon Realm Island to sacrifice, but I didn't expect the 'Princess of Gunfire' to suddenly arrive. single-handedly killed three or four demon officers, and escorted these people to the vicinity of Ice Wolf Castle......"

The young man stood by the wall and clapped his hands and laughed: "I have heard a lot of stories about this 'Princess of Fire'. She fought against the demons all day long, rescued civilians everywhere, and now destroyed a sacrifice, she is really a rare hero in this troubled world. It's no wonder that the demons are willing to pay a lot of money for her life. ”

Bella shook her head helplessly, "It's a pity that she doesn't know that the Ice Wolf King has already taken refuge in the Demon Clan, and even invited two Demon Clan generals to come to the Ice Wolf Castle to arrest her." ”

Obviously, the demons hate her to the core, and would rather give up the sacrifice of 2,000 people than take her life.

A smug look appeared on Whitebeard's face, "Yes, the 'God Helping Witch' Black Condensation Snow is scheming, and the 'Heavenly Demon Mecha' Black Stone Pattern is a killing machine. In such troubled times, people like us must of course choose a better way to live. ”

"Really?" Bella took out an envelope from her pocket, "In this troubled world, it's not easy to find a way to live, but colluding with the demons is the way to ...... I'm afraid it won't work. ”

The corners of Whitebeard's mouth couldn't help twitching, "That's ...... The letter of forgiveness that the demons gave me? ”

"Letter of pardon?" Bella couldn't help but hide her face and laugh, "That's how the demons lied to you?" ”

Deception?

Whitebeard looked at Bella suspiciously.

"I know you can't read, I'll read it to you." Bella unfolded the letter and read it: "Dear members of the Red Pavilion, when you read this letter, this person should have been recognized. Congratulations on finally having the qualifications to compete with concubines. I wish you all to abandon the darkness and turn to the light as soon as possible, and the 'God Helps the Witch' Hei Ningxue respectfully. ”

This letter is half-written, and the young people are not highly educated, so they can only vaguely hear the provocation in it, and ask with a straight face: "What is that 'personal'?" ”

What a mouth-wrenching question.

Bella replied with a forced smile, "That's 'concubine', which is what some noble women refer to themselves in the language of the time-travelers. I heard that she has hooked up with the Ice Wolf King, and she can already be counted as a future princess. ”

The white-bearded man probably knew the true contents of the letterhead for the first time, and shouted in fear: "Impossible, you lied to me, the 'God Helping the Witch' promised that when I left the Red Pavilion, she would forgive me all my sins......"

The young man glanced at him contemptuously, "Forgive your sins, you still need to go to the demon clan for such a trivial matter?" How good it is to come to me, it only takes a knife to avoid being clean. ”

A smile appeared on the corner of Bella's mouth, raised the flying knife in her hand, turned the knife and threw it to the young man: "It seems that 'he' has expected it?" ”

The young man took the throwing knife, "Of course, who among the six kingdoms can be better than 'him'?" ”

As he spoke, the young man took a few steps forward and stabbed Whitebeard in the thigh, "This knife is a lesson given to you by those who were betrayed by you in the past. ”

Whitebeard screamed loudly, "I'm the 'Red Pavilion Patriarch', you can't ......"

The young man stabbed Whitebeard's palm again, "This knife is my prediction for you: no matter how powerful your demon master is, we will definitely rescue the 'Princess of Gunfire' Lydia!" ”

Whitebeard's face is distorted by pain, "You are dreaming......"

The young man slowly raised his knife, "You should be honored, you are still needed in the next plan." ”

Before Whitebeard could think, the sword flashed, and the head fell to the ground.

"At least your head, it's still useful." As he spoke, the young man took a cloak and wrapped the human head around his waist.

Bella wiped the blood from the blade, "Where are you going next?" ”

The young man smiled, "To rescue the 'Princess of Fire', of course, you have to go to the Ice Wolf Castle." ”

"You're going to the inner city?" Bella frowned, "Then you don't want to run into those two demons, the bloodthirsty Black Stone Pattern and the cunning Black Condensation Snow." ”

The young man deliberately put on a constipated expression: "It's a pity, the task 'he' gave me was to provoke that 'concubine'." ”
