The first time Ivan heard of the name "Monarch of Chaos" was on the crater of Takamo, where a wizard named Bad told him that the Sovereign of Chaos was the strongest demon king of all time, and that the sacred place of wizards, where the town of Takamo was located, was an ancient battlefield.

After arriving in the town of Takamo, another wizard, Sylvia Milton, told him more stories. Back then, the feather magician Ota summoned the Earth Elf King there. They paid a terrible price to defeat the Monarch of Chaos. At that time, Sylvia, like Bard, did not expect that Ivan was the executor sent by the Wizard Alliance, and also helped Ivan enter the wizard's castle. Later, Sylvia learned Ivan's identity......

I don't know how those wizards are doing now. Thinking back to what happened last month, Ivan, who was almost executed by the wizard club, still has some fears, and a little regret and trance. He fell ill after leaving the town of Takamo, and the ensuing events left him with no time to go to the library to look up the ancient legend, he didn't know who the Monarch of Chaos was, nor what kind of war the Great Holy War was, only that it did exist, just like the Elven King of the Earth and the Elf King of Light.

"Oh yes, that's right. The bear-headed Bob in front of Ivan said sullenly, "That's right, young master." The Demon King used his terrifying, unparalleled magic to turn the Black Dragon King into his slaves, and many, many, many dragons slowly fell, and they obeyed the Demon King's orders, killing their own kind, killing humans, the Feather Clan, and those beloved goblins. ”

"The black dragon lord gained the magic of the Monarch of Chaos, and he became very strong, stronger than all the other dragon kings. Hunter grimaced, his excited tone becoming particularly somber as he told the story. "Our ancestors called him 'the fallen dragon king of darkness,' and he breathed the icy breath of death, and the land he flew over was devoid of grass. Sir, he is the mount of the Monarch of Chaos. ”

"The dragons fell in large numbers, either degenerate or die, and their bodies sank into the sea. Bob took Hunter's words, "The old people say that the great dragon knights were born at that time, and they were in the company of the good dragons in order to defeat the most terrifying demon king. Oh Demon King, Demon King, he wants to rule a life! He wants to live forever, he wants to be the god of the whole world!"

Bob's bear-like voice rumbled like a heart-pounding sound, as if an ancient god from the forest was issuing a solemn warning. For a moment, everyone fell silent.

"It's not a pleasant story. After a long time, Hunter grinned and laughed dryly.

"But in the end, the Monarch of Chaos died, and he didn't make it, did he?" Aisha clasped his fingers and stared intently at his toes, "He was killed by the hero Aaron. ”

"Hey, that's right. Hunter seemed to be particularly appreciative of Ash's words, "It's a pity that the hero is finished." ”

There was silence again.

Ivan had heard stories of heroes killing demon kings before, but stories told to children would not tell the hero's end. The hero is also finished. I'm afraid, it's really the case.

"We northerners are descendants of dragon knights. Shrek's tone was quite imposing, "So we northerners are especially brave." He turned his head and showed his mutilated front teeth, "Miss, if you are afraid of the old stories, and ask the dwarf to pour you some ale to suppress the alarm, I dare say that the children of our village will be so frightened that they will wet the bed when they hear these stories." ”

"Who said I was scared!" said Isha puffed out his cheeks angrily, "what is there to be afraid of! I'm not a child!"

The sleigh swept gracefully across the low hills, leafless shrubs leaning against the foot of the hills, as if countless withered paws stretched out of the snow. The forest soon appeared, looking into the distance like a black cumulonimbus cloud. Bob the bear's head approaches the forest on his sled.

"Go this way. Hunter muttered, "In case there's a strong wind, let's hide in the woods and wait until the wind is over before we leave." You don't know how strong the wind is on the snowfield, and it can uproot all the trees!"

However, they did not encounter a strong wind. The gray conifers cast dappled shadows, the footprints of wild beasts were crushed by sleighs, and at noon they rested at the edge of the forest. Shrek fetches some hay and dead bushes, piles up stones in a small circle, and lights a campfire. Bob walked into the forest with a longbow on his back, and when he came back with several unnamed birds hanging from his waist, with gray and black striped feathers, long tails, and fat fat, he would have frozen to death in this snowy winter.

"I'd like to give you a bear. Hunter couldn't wait to crouch down beside the warm campfire, on which were tin buckets, the snow had been boiled. Hunter was about to take down the iron bucket and scald his ale with boiling water, when he heard this, he sneered disdainfully, "Just you, give bear a son!"

The hunters didn't give the two children a chance to help, and Ivan and Isha sat under the cedars and drank a steaming bowl of bird broth. In the afternoon, when the weather was still clear, the hunters extinguished the campfire and continued along the edge of the forest towards the north.

It wasn't until dusk that Hunter's face suddenly changed, and he lowered his head and told Aisha that the wind would rise later.

The sleigh soon came to a halt in a forest below the hill. The hunters erected two tents, covered them with sewn wolf skins, tied ropes to the thickest pine trees in the vicinity, and brought rocks to press the edges of the tents. They drove all the sled dogs into the larger tent, and their sleds and luggage were piled in.

"Rest assured, these dogs are obedient. Bob called the sled dog to lie in a corner of the tent, and he distributed the jerky to everyone, "Let me think...... The young master and the young lady must not be happy to be crammed into a tent with us and these dogs. Go to the little tent, remember, don't go outside, I hope your sleeping bags are sturdy enough!"

"Whatever you hear, don't go outside!" Hunt said, "Oh, don't worry, wild beasts don't come out to hunt in such weather." ”

"Neither will the robbers. Stone added, "We've all said hello to the bandits in this area, and as long as you bring money, they won't embarrass you!"

The two tents were next to each other. Ivan heard that the hunters seemed to be ready to rest, and took out his sleeping bag from his backpack.

At this moment, the sound of a flock of birds screaming and flying directly above the tent sounded. The tranquil forest was instantly furious, the treetops rustled, the snow fell, and the wind approached them like thunder.
