Following.

Monday in Parish.

At night, looking up at the sky, the stars twinkle brightly.

"It's almost autumn."

One of the great things about the open-air arena is that you can look up at the stars at any time.

That being said, he didn't have any special feelings.

It's late August.

This slightly hot and dry season is almost over.

The 6th arrondissement on the north shore of the Paulieu capital, the Hippodium of St. Baiyinteng, is not too far from the Báptiste Count's Court in the bustling Parrieux 4th arrondissement.

Today, after a day's work at the Count's Court in Baptiste, Ranch was called by Christina, the eldest lady of the Earl's house, to come to this arena to play a proxy game.

Because of the new week, the treaty that "any family member can occupy the housekeeper for up to two extra hours per week" has also been refreshed, and Christina does not hesitate to use it for a moment.

In her opinion, if she is lucky, she may be able to pay enough liquidated damages to Rocky's butler today.

It's a pity that the truth is cruel.

They played a hire match today, and they didn't play at all.

It's not that no one wants to hire Rocky, it's that no opponent is willing to send it, and today Rocky won easily.

At least this week, it seems that she has no chance of firing the housekeeper, and will have to let him work from home for a week.

"Either way, we've saved over £30,000 and will be able to cash in soon."

Christina waited in front of the spectator stand fence in the branch library, observing the expression of the brown-haired green-eyed butler beside her.

She was still vaguely worried that the butler was lying to her.

When the time comes, she takes out 50,000 pounds, and the other party may not leave.

"Don't worry, miss, I will do what I say."

Lan Qi sighed softly, and said with a helpless smile in his eyes.

After the two ended their hire, they waited in the Arena of the Holy Silver Vine.

Christina was looking forward to having someone like the hook-nosed Mr. Merchant to entrust them with the match.

I always feel that if I leave like this, I may miss some opportunities.

As a result, now she can only stand in a spectator stand in the arena branch, with her hands on the railing, looking at the sky boredly.

The Arena features a movable roof that can be opened and closed as needed, so you can see the starry sky from a panoramic perspective at any time of the day, even if you get tired of watching the game.

The other competitors continued to compete, with each side of the auditorium cascading upwards to the top of the arena, each level offering the best vantage point, and the cheers and shouts of a branch library alone were deafening.

I waited a long time like this.

Except for a reporter who leaned over to find out about the daughter of the evil slave, and was professionally dealt with by Ranch, no employer came to discuss employment matters with Christina.

"Miss Christina, it looks like no one is fighting us."

Ranch waited on the left behind Christina and spoke.

"Alas, it's hard to meet a fighter who is willing to challenge you these days."

Christina let go of the railing and finally shook her head at reality.

First of all, even if there are players who are willing to play, it is more challenging to try with Rocky, the odds are one-sided, and the bet is no longer profitable.

Secondly, if someone looks for Rocky, the opponent will not want to play.

Because at present, it can be basically seen what level Rocky is.

Finding the Sixth Order to fight him is to send money.

In fact, the reputation of Rocky McCarthy, the butler of the Earl of Baptiste's house, has been fermenting in the past two days, and the competition commission that is really intended may be sent to the Earl's Court on weekdays.

If you can't wait any other time, it's even harder to meet the commission for an hour or two in this arena.

"Rocky, can you fight the Seventh Order?"

Christina asked, looking back at the butler who had been waiting behind her for a long time.

She had actually been curious about this question for a long time, but she had never dared to ask.

Finding out the strength of a strong person is like asking a girl's age, which may be considered an offense.

"You can fight, but you can't win."

Ranch thought for a moment and replied.

The output of the dependent state is greatly discounted.

The main reason is that the supply of mana is not enough, and Tata is not a strong offensive type, and if you don't drop the opposite side in a minute or two, you will definitely lose.

"Then, if you encounter an eighth-order enemy......"

Christina's heart beat faster, and she tried to do so hopelessly.

Now that she had spoken, she simply became bold and asked to the end, and she didn't know if Butler Rocky would answer her.

"Run, turn around and run."

Ranch smiled sincerely.

"Oh!"

Then Christina understood.

There is actually a seventh-order butler in his own house!

The seventh order is not a matter of price, it is not a matter of asking for it at all.

You must know that the entire Posen Kingdom is only three of the Eighth Order today.

Apart from them, the Seventh Order is an invincible existence.

Under normal circumstances, no strong person will enter a combat state in the core city of Paris, because it will trigger the full suppression of the city defense barrier, so the usefulness of force in this area is often minimized.

But Christina, who often pays attention to the news, has a hunch that the southern continent is going to change recently.

Although it is not felt in the flower capital of Parrieux in the north of the kingdom, it is said that the southern border of Posen is already panicked, and many announcements have been issued one after another.

Consulates are also informing citizens abroad to return home as soon as possible.

"Miss took advantage of the school vacation to return to the Posen Kingdom from the Kingdom of Auroran this time, on the one hand, she simply wanted to come back, and on the other hand, she was a little worried. I would suggest that if you observe that something is not going well, you can actually apply for a gap of one year and stay in Parrieux for the first time. ”

Ranchi observed Christina's expression and said to her.

Christina turned around in some surprise and looked up at Ranchi as if she felt like her mind had been read.

"I don't know exactly what the information received from the United Council of the Kingdom is, but I hope it will be okay for a while in the future."

She breathed a sigh of relief and replied calmly.

Whether it is the Cress Empire in the kingdoms or the Kingdom United Council in the Cress Empire, there is certainly a certain source of information, and often the intelligence of the Kingdom United Council will not deviate too much, and the Southern Continent may be approaching a certain tipping point at any time during this time.

At best, maybe nothing will really happen in the next year or two.

But unrest is as unpredictable as a storm, and you never know when it will begin.

Maybe this fall, the world will change.

It could be any day, any time of day, or even any second.

If troubled times come, it would be more useful to have a loyal seventh-order guardian in the family than to have more money.

"How about Miss, have you considered not firing me now?"

Lanch asked with an interested smile.

He had listened to the cat boss read the newspaper, and these news made the cat boss worried.

But he felt that there was no problem, and the Senate on the side of the Posen Kingdom promised to take care of the safety of their foreign invited visitors.

As allies, Poson and Hutton will take care of the citizens of each other's countries in the event of external turmoil, unless there is civil unrest or a change of regime, which can lead to a terrible situation.

"No, our agreement will not change, I don't want my family to owe a seventh-order powerhouse anything, I won't take advantage of you."

Christina shook her head firmly.

“……”

Ranch choked.

"Whew."

Talia chuckled happily in Lanchi's heart.

The little girl had rejected Ranch for at least the third time, and his self-righteous deal was completely unworkable.

"Since there is no commission, then I'll send you home."

Ranch looked at the time on the crystal screen of the Holy Silver Vine Arena and said to Christina.

Being ridiculed by Talia makes Ranchi very depressed.

"Ugh."

Christina nodded, then hesitantly looked up at the sky before moving her gaze to Ranchi's face.

"What, do you have any other ideas?"

Lanch asked.

"Will you keep me safe?"

Christina asked him.

"Of course, it's my job and it's very important for me to make sure that my work is perfect."

Ranch replied calmly.

The cat boss in the shadow of this sentence agrees.

Ranch is so dedicated that he may not even want his life.

"Then can you take me to the Posen Demon Realm for a walk? I haven't been there since I was a child, and my father and brother won't let me go. ”

Christina glanced up at Ranchi, a little timid and a little expectant.

"It's okay though......"

Ranch always felt that the other party was a little rude.

It seems that he is not used as a bodyguard, but as some kind of hoodoo that can dispel danger.

"Let's go, in an hour, take a little stroll around and go home."

Ranch glanced at the time again and agreed neatly.

Since he and Talia came to the Posen Kingdom, they haven't been to the Demon Realm.

Originally, I planned to go to the Posen Demon Realm after I finished all the business.

But since Christina has made such a request, she should go to the demon world first to perform her official duties.

"Yay!"

Christina clenched her fists and couldn't wait to go.

She straightened the hem of her skirt and motioned for Lodge to follow, walking lightly to the passage out of the spectator stands.

Many of the citizens of Parrieux are afraid to enter Zones 7 to 10, which belong to the Posen Demon Realm.

It's just that her brother Kyle Baptiste is as bold as he once brought the demon bodyguards and went.

Although theoretically, the Posen Demon Realm is not so dangerous, but after staying in the safe flower capital, he will indeed feel that the security of the Demon Realm is relatively poor.

If you bring Rocky, you'll be fine.

After all, he's super good at warding off evil spirits.

……

The Arena of the Holy Silver Vine is located in the 6th district of Parrieux, just one kilometer away from the boundary of the 7th section of the Posen Demon Realm.

In the middle of the night in Parish, when the city was immersed in the silence of the silvery moonlight, Ranchi and Christina had already arrived at the entrance to the Posen Demon Realm.

Traveling through the narrow alleyways at the edge of Area 6, Ranch takes Christina to find a hidden door in the side of a church that has been forgotten by time.

The door is made of weathered oak and covered with fine vines.

However, when the door was opened, the vision instantly brightened.

I saw that the lobby of the wide station gate was full of inspection gates.

"Miss, please don't run around when you arrive at the Posen Demon Realm, you must follow me."

Lanch reminded.

"Okay, okay."

Christina looked around intently, as if everything was new, and replied.

The two went to the workbench to complete the formalities and passed through the gate.

They slowly passed through as the mirror-shaped mirror in front of them began to glow with a warm golden light.

Next, a passage full of light gradually appeared in the field of vision, and at the end of it seemed to connect a completely different world.

The moment they completely passed through the light gate, they seemed to have crossed time and space, and came to a familiar and strange street of Parrieux.

On the streets, floating balls of light slowly dispersed, illuminating the city at night, and the pedestrians were almost all demons.

On the contrary, it is human beings, and it will be easier to attract the attention of demons.

This is Parrieux 7, and behind them, a massive bronze mechanical clock tower towers over the night sky, each bell reminding them that this is a different jurisdiction from their original world.

"When we get back to this clock tower, we'll be able to cross the barrier and go back to Parrieu 6 through the pass."

Ranch explained to Christina.

At this moment, she seemed to be a little absent-minded, and her attention was all about admiring this Posen Demon Realm that was close at hand but had been there since she was a child.

"Take me to see the Posen Demon Realm."

Christina glanced at the time on the clock tower and hurriedly said to Lanchi.

The housekeeper's working hours are running out, and it is estimated that he will only take her to play for an hour at most before leaving.

"Hmm."

Lanch nodded, motioning for her to walk in the direction of the brightly lit business district ahead,

"At present, the 7th district we are in is considered to be less secure, and accidents often occur, but the 9th and 10th districts with the eighth-order lords have the best security."

He reminded Christina.

Huadu Parrieux District 7, District 8, District 9, and District 10 each belong to the jurisdiction of a demon lord.

Two of them are seventh-order demons, and two are eighth-order demons.

"Uh-oh."

When Christina heard this, she bowed her head cautiously and followed the butler.

When the Posen Kingdom signed an acceptance contract with the demons a hundred years ago, one of the great respects of the Senate of the Posen Kingdom for the demons was that they would not interfere with the culture of the demons in the territory divided into the demons, nor would they be required to follow the human social order.

Therefore, there may be a big difference between Area 6 and Area 7, and once you step into the Posen Demon Realm, it is no longer safe.

But she thinks it's a good division for both sides.

What kind of life you want to live, you have to follow the rules of whichever side.

Led by a butler, Christina weaves through the streets full of demonic style and wonder.

The skyline of Parrieux 7 is filled with bright skyscrapers, churches, and extradimensional floating courtyards, and the night sky is not only dark blue, but also occasionally shows pale golden fireflies, like a mirror reflecting the city.

It is said that there is a city called Herrom in the Northern Continent, and there are many ruins with the characteristics of the Demon Realm, which are a bit similar to the Posen Demon Realm in some corners.

They were on a street called Avenue of Illusions.

The night sky of the Posen Demon Realm is exceptionally beautiful due to the supernatural phenomena caused by the spatial magic enchantment, and the Avenue of Illusions is the best place to see this night sky.

And in the 7th arrondissement, there is a famous night market of illusions, which is nearby.

After just walking a short distance, she bought a lot of snacks and gave some to Rocky's butler.

For example, the "Star Candy" is said to contain a trace amount of star magic, and when eaten in your mouth, you can briefly feel the wonderful sensation of floating in the night sky, and the "Ghost Bread", which is made of transparent wheat unique to the Posen Demon Realm, and tastes like both clouds and marshmallows.

To Christina's surprise, Rocky's butler accepted it and did not shirk her sharing.

Before I knew it, more than half an hour had passed.

Looking at the dwindling time, Christina was still a little reluctant to take this novel trip to the Posen Demon Realm.

From time to time, she looked at the dark blue mirrored night sky, and then looked back at the mechanical clock tower.

And the Rocky butler next to him seemed to be looking at the street as well.

"What are you looking at?"

Christina asked.

"I heard that on the Illusion Avenue of the Posen Demon Realm, there is a small probability that you will encounter a magic dessert float at night, the dessert cart is operated by a demon dessert master, this kind of ice cream can make people feel extremely happy in an instant, and improve a small amount of attributes in a short time, but there is only a very small probability of encountering a magic dessert float."

Ranch watched the road and explained to Christina.

"It's a matter of luck."

Christina slapped her hand in relief.

The most disagreeable thing about Rocky's butler is that he seems to be very greedy and always pays special attention to food, but Christina doesn't think this butler is a very greedy person, and she has never even seen Rocky eat.

However, as long as he doesn't eat small children, it's fine.

There have been no recent disappearances in the vicinity of Count Baptiste's house.

"Are you thinking about something rude......

Ranch looked at her quizzically.

He always felt that he might really understand Talia.

How can there be such a disrespectful employer.

Question Tata, understand Tata, become Tata.

He seemed to have really walked Talia's path.

The two walked and chatted under the night sky of the Posen Demon Realm.

I didn't miss this novel realm much either.

After all, their route planning is very clear, and they said that they will return on time.

"Wait, miss, did you hear something that seems to be noisy in the distance?"

Ranch's eyes narrowed, and he slowed his pace.

"Is there one?"

Christina stopped and looked at him.

She had heard of the characteristics of the Posen Demon Realm, bank robberies, serial car accidents, and large accidents were all common occurrences in District 7.

Rumble!!

Suddenly, just as they were enjoying the peace and beauty of this wonderful night, the sound of glass breaking on the building was heard in the distance, breaking the peace of the city of Parrieux 7.

Then there was a faint uproar with confusion, sometimes intermittent, sometimes high-pitched and intense.

The two looked in the direction of the sound source, and many residents passed through the distant street with hurried steps, their faces flustered, as if they were avoiding some dangerous area.

Ranch immediately gave Christina a distant look.

"This is the Posen Demon Realm, it's very usual."

Ranch wanted Christina to remain calm.

But he found that Christina did not seem to be too panicked, and curiosity drove her eyes to follow some of the demon citizens who had taken refuge, and cautiously looked in the direction of the turmoil.

The turmoil grew clearer like a surround, and the roars, metal crashes, and occasional explosions of fire were recognizable.

The street lights on the Avenue of Illusions also seemed to have dimmed, and only the panicked demon citizens ran by.

"Why, miss, do you want to watch this as an aftershow?"

Ranch asked as he looked down at the blonde lady beside him.

"No, no, no."

She shook her head again and again, finally coming to her senses and preparing to turn away.

However.

Before she could react, she subconsciously hugged her head because of a distant loud noise.

In the distance, two black shadows swept through the sky, speeding from building to building, chasing from the façade of one building to the wall of another, each time they landed, accompanied by the sound of broken bricks and dust, and the whole city trembled for their battle.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the two figures were sometimes intertwined, sometimes separated.

Among them, the chaser wielded a long black knife, and each swing brought a fiery scarlet storm that lit up the surrounding corridors.

The fleeing and wanton destruction figure is hideous and ugly, like a distorted little giant.

"Nigel is here, run!"

The demons who ran past Ranchi and Christina shouted in horror, as if they were more afraid of the Master Chief in the executioner's uniform than the bewildered and distorted cursed demon.

Ranch, who was about to leave, turned his head a little hesitantly and looked in the direction of the battlefield.

He heard familiar names.

In the flower capital of Parrieux, humans are not afraid of Nigel the Executioner, but in the eyes of the demons, he seems to be a lone star.

"Do you know Tiffany's executioner?"

Christina noticed Ranchi's reaction and asked.

“……”

Ranch didn't affirm her question, nor did she deny it.

He just raised his hand and motioned for Christina to stay behind him.

The surrounding demon citizens kept running by, and there were also those who couldn't let go of the excitement, so they turned back in three steps.

"What's going on over there?"

Lanch called out to a reporter-like demon who was not in a hurry and asked.

"It seems that there is a human who got into trouble with the Fang Pian Gang, and was hunted down and killed in Parrieux 7 for two or three days, and the Fang Pian Gang not only failed to kill her, but also tortured and killed many members by her, and finally when she surrounded her, even the gang boss was about to be killed by her, but who knew that the gang boss was a cursed person, and at this time he went berserk and killed her, if Nigel hadn't arrived to save her, she probably would have really died."

The demon reporter picked up the magic guide equipment and took a few photos in the direction of the tall building, and quickly said to Lanqi,

"But it's really strange, her head is about to be smashed and she hasn't died yet, is this really the vitality of human beings......"

The demon reporter took a picture in the distance and muttered.

He felt safe around this human, a good place to take pictures.

But this place should not stay for a long time, and the demon reporter quickly said a simple goodbye and ran away.

Hearing this, Lanchi looked again in the direction of the intensification of the battle.

If you look closely, it was Nigel who was tied up in a fight with a mad demon, he held a knife in his right hand, and he also dragged a magic guide chain in his right hand, and the half-suspended chain tightly wrapped a humanoid figure covered in blood, protecting it.

I'm afraid that this time the mad demon clan is not the fourth-order like Lisanqian last time, but a powerful demon clan that already has a sixth-order has been cursed and mad.

On the one hand, Nigel didn't dare to use all his strength considering the surrounding demon residents who had not yet evacuated, and on the other hand, he wanted to catch the other party rather than kill them directly.

"Roar!!

Covered in scars, the Enchanted Demon is not only powerful but also unleashes furious magic, trying to overwhelm Nigel with its untold rage and power.

But Nigel kept an eye on the battlefield around.

Protect those innocent residents from harm.

Whenever danger approached innocent people, he always used the back of his knife to block the attack in time, and then quickly moved them to safety.

Obviously, in this capture battle, Nigel, as an executioner, has a lot of experience dealing with mad spell bearers.

It didn't take long for him to lure the Berserker Spellbearer to the wide pavement of Fantasy Boulevard.

Here he no longer had to worry about the demon inhabitants being affected.

He clenched the hilt of his sword in both hands, leaned over slightly, and turned into black thunder and struck at the mad spell bearer.

Just as Nigel was about to succeed in slashing at the mad spell-bearer with the back of his knife with precision and precision.

Suddenly, as if he realized something, he moved the blade to his side, and a new dark shadow appeared on the battlefield in the blink of an eye.

The sudden shadow kicked Nigel in the chest.

The terrifying force sent Nigel flying in an instant, smashing into the walls of a building, sending dust flying with a loud bang.

When the smoke gradually clears.

Nigel struggled to get up from the rubble.

He gripped the hilt of his knife in his hand.

Even though he managed to parry the attack, the force still made his arm tremble.

"What's Nigel, just kill him."

Standing in place, a demon pressed the mad cursed person to the ground with a calm expression, and his outstretched other hand was about to pierce the head of the mad cursed person.

"Don't kill him!"

Nigel rushed over and swung his sword to knock it back from the mad spell bearer, but it didn't hit the demon.

The demon male seemed to have dodged Nigel's attack with a slight backward jump just now.

"Nigel, you are so hypocritical, even your mentor Permanqing's daughter did not hesitate to kill, now you want to atone for your sins? Can't even do anything to the mad cursed? ”

His crimson eyes, glittering with a playful light, wore a black satin coat, and his long black hair was casually scattered.

"Astros, I'm on official business, don't come and get in my way!"

Nigel's forehead was throbbing, and he held back his anger and shouted to the demon male.

The male demon with a pale and delicate face and a wild beauty hidden is none other than the demon lord of Parrieux 7, Astros.

"Oh? In my realm, I have more authority than you, unless your master, Tiffany or Co., comes, and I may be able to give her some face. ”

The Demon Lord Astros spoke with contempt.

“……”

Nigel knew that the other party was here to find fault, so he didn't try to communicate again, his eyes were half sharp, and at the same time he was paying attention to the movements of the demon lord Astros, and stared at the mad cursed person who had stood up again.

It's finally about to subdue the mad demons, and now there is a troublesome demon lord, Nigel only feels a headache.

The night is like ink.

Accompanied by the smoke and flames of the cast iron yard.

The end of the Avenue of Illusions quickly escalated into a scuffle like never before.

The madness of the cursed, Nigel the executioner, and the demon lord Astros, the battle between the three sides broke out again.

The eyes of the mad spell burned with a blood-red light, no longer hiding the bottomless madness, and let out a piercing scream, as if it was about to penetrate the depths of the soul, and launched an impact on Nigel with unimaginable speed.

Nigel was unusually calm in this regard, and he skillfully held the long black knife in front of him.

After receiving the enemy, block, rebound, slash, and flip up and down the knife body in one go.

The Demon Lord Astros also uses his almost instinctive combat skills and knowledge of his kind, and every palm stab at the mad curse recipient is not only precise but also full of beauty.

But it was all blocked by Nigel.

"Hahaha, Nigel, I didn't hit you, you volunteered to help him block the attack."

The Demon Lord Astros kept laughing.

“……”

Nigel did nothing to respond to Astros's provocations.

Faced with the mad curse, his heart is full of complexity.

He understands the threat and believes that a non-lethal solution must be found.

Just as the Demon Lord Astros reached out to pierce the brains of the mad cursed, Nigel once again stood between them, taking the deadly attack with his own blade.

This successive blocks immediately caused Nigel to fall into a double attack.

Behind it is a mad spell bearer who has lost his mind, moves fiercely and uncontrollably.

In front of him was the ruthless Demon Lord Astros, who was precise and lethal with every blow.

Nigel is caught in the eye of the storm and must defend himself against a fierce onslaught from both sides at once.

In this tightrope state, one wrong step will be a loss.

……

On the other side of the Avenue of Illusions.

Under the street lamp, Ranch was still quietly watching all this.

"I'd like to help Mr. Nigel."

Ranchi frowned slightly, and said to Talia in his heart.

"Go ahead."

Talia agreed.

She felt that she and Lanch owed Nigel a favor.

Ranchi shifted his gaze from the battlefield to Christina beside him.

His primary purpose is to help Nigel subdue the Madness Demon Clan in the past, and then let Nigel bring the Madness Demon Clan back to Parrieux 1 safely for investigation.

Ranch leaned down and picked up a pitch-black kitten from the ground.

"Don't run far, wait for me to come back, hold this cat, if you are in danger, it can save you."

He handed out the cat boss and said to Christina.

"Oh, good."

Christina took the little black cat in a daze, not even seeing where the butler had summoned an almost fifth-order elf beast from where.

Next, Ranchi relinquishes control of a part of his body to Tata.

……

At the end of the illusory avenue that seemed to be a three-way scuffle.

Just as Nigel and Astros were about to heat up.

They all noticed a approaching figure in the distance.

He was dressed in a neat butler suit, and his steps were calm, as if he didn't care about this boiling battlefield, just going out for a walk.

As he approached the center of the battle, he was able to find space to move forward without any impact, even in the midst of a fire-lit melee, and dodged the aftermath by a small margin.

The more this happened, the more it made him look like a gentleman who had gone to the wrong place.

Neither Nigel nor Demon Lord Astros could analyze what this messy brown-haired green-eyed butler was going to do.

"Nigel, finally give me a chance to repay you, the battle of life and death that didn't end last time, let's continue."

Ranch was already about to walk to the center of the battlefield, stared at Nigel and said, and then accelerated into the battlefield.

"Nigel, you've offended so many people!"

Hearing this, the Demon Lord Astros immediately raised his head and laughed.

This brown-haired, green-eyed butler looks like Nigel's enemy.

And not lying at all!

It's easy to tell from his emotionally charged words and unfazed fluctuations in magic.

Just as the Demon Lord Astros laughed.

Lanch gave him a hard elbow in the back.

The Demon Lord didn't have time to be surprised why this human moved so fast, he only felt a heart-rending pain, and his whole body couldn't move as if he was cursed, and then Nigel seized the opportunity to hit his chin with the hilt of his knife, and suddenly his eyes were a little starry.

In the end, Astros, who was shaky, had no chance to dodge, and was smashed several times by Nigel on his head with a knife back, until he smashed his entire head into the ground, and finally made Astros faint temporarily.

“……”

In the distance, Christina and the cat boss were eyelids jumping.

It's despicable.

This guy is obviously trying to help Nigel.

But he didn't lie, it was the Demon Lord Astros himself who misunderstood.

It's hard to imagine that when Astros wakes up, he will not be able to ban this brown-haired and green-eyed human from entering Area 7 in the future.

"Whew, that's a big help."

Without Astros making trouble on the battlefield, Nigel and the butler worked together to subdue the mad curse in the blink of an eye.

In the same treatment of Astros, Nigel slammed the madness of the cursed person with the back of his knife several times, and then took out another chain wizard from the inside pocket of his military uniform and restrained it.

"You're a blunt streamer?"

Ranch said in surprise.

"This knife is not sharp, but the weight is high."

Nigel put away the black knife and retrieved the red-haired girl who had protected the chain wizard from a distance in mid-air.

He didn't know why he would answer the words of this strange man.

Although the other party's intention is fascinated, he has been helping him since he appeared, so he won't make things difficult for the other party.

"Nigel, it's me."

Ranch whispered in a different voice.

“……？”

Nigel suddenly realized something and grabbed Lanch's arm.

He tightened the chains with his other hand, and carried the entangled mad demon and the half-dead red-haired girl to the top of the tall building.

"Ranch Wilford?"

Nigel asked, looking at the brown-haired and green-eyed youth in front of him with disbelief.

"Yes."

Ranch nodded, and walked to the edge of the top floor of the tall building, keeping an eye on Christina's position on the Avenue of Illusions in the distance below.

Although there is a cat boss, he is still more worried about the blink of an eye, and there are enemies with bad intentions approaching her.

At the same time, Talia used Ranky's body to raise her hand and reach out to the mad spell bearer who had fainted on the ground.

“…… Surrender to me. ”

The corners of his mouth were silent.

In the next second, the hideous deformed demon appearance on the ground gradually eased and turned into a strong demon man.

"Thank you."

Even though this was the second time he had witnessed the lifting of this forbidden curse, Nigel still found it incredible.

And in addition to Miss Tata, Ranch can even cast spell unraveling spells.

Nigel didn't ask much, though.

"I'll go back to the Senate first, this human can ask you."

Nigel took the other chain and handed it to Ranchi, who now had to send the healed high-level cursed back to the Senate as soon as possible, leaving no more time to send the human to the hospital for treatment.

"Absolutely."

Ranch took the chain and was slightly surprised when he saw the figure.

If it weren't for the fact that her clothes were stained red with blood, Ranch wouldn't have noticed that her hair color was originally red.

Looking more closely at her costume and face, he suddenly remembered the opponent he had seen in the Holy Silver Vine Arena the night before, the violent red-haired boy.

"Do you know her?"

Nigel asked, noticing the look in Lanch's eyes.

"I've had a relationship, don't worry, I'll take care of her."

Ranch assured.

"Then I'm leaving."

Nigel said goodbye.

"Okay, don't be left alone."

Lanch reminded.

He gestured for Nigel to keep eye contact with him on the way back.

"Understood."

Nigel nodded, he understood what Ranch meant.

Although the journey back to Area 6 is short, they should try to stay in the opponent's field of vision, otherwise the possibility of being stolen by the enemy cannot be ruled out in the process.

They immediately returned from the tall building to the Avenue of Illusions, to find Christina who was waiting, and began to return to the city of Parrieux, the capital of flowers.

……

Meanwhile.

At the other end of the night, there was barely enough light for the dilapidated buildings and dense shadows on the side of the road.

Street lamps were scattered and scattered, but most of them had been extinguished, leaving only a few that glowed dimly and flickering.

Whenever the wind blows, the window swayes softly, making a whimpering sound.

I don't know how long it took.

A figure stepped out of a corner of darkness.

His figure was indistinct in the dim streetlight, and his face was hidden by the deep brim of his hat, revealing only the cold chin and the corners of his mouth.

The shadow stretched and twisted beneath his feet, as if it had a life of its own, wriggling as he moved.

The shadows danced in the unstable light, sometimes like tentacles reaching out to him, sometimes like black liquid spreading across the ground.

"Rocky McCarthy ......"

"Who Are You Divine ......?"

Voices drifted out of the corners of his mouth.

The first time he wanted to make a move, it was to kidnap the eldest lady.

However, there was immediately a gaze in the air towards the eldest lady.

He stopped showing up.

The second chance is that he will finish Nigel in this Posen Demon Realm.

As a result, this guy and Nigel didn't go completely apart.

He could have killed Nigel before he returned to Area 6.

But now that he made a rash move, and with Rocky McCarthy, he wasn't sure if he could kill both.

Once one runs back to District 6, it's bad.

But now he knew at least one piece of information.

The man who helped Nigel undo the spell was the butler who worked at Count Baptiste's house, Rocky McCarthy.

"Hmph, the feast is about to begin......"

With a faint laugh, he disappeared at the end of the road.

……

The other side of the flower capital Parrieux.

It's late at night.

Saltpeter General Hospital, the full name of Palieu Saltpeter Medical Supply Center, is located in the 3rd district of Parieux, the capital of the Kingdom of Posen, and is the largest hospital in Parieux with a rich royal background and modern medical achievements.

It was originally established by Nicholas Falket, Chancellor of the Exchequer under King Rany XIV of Posen, with the goal of being a facility for poor and sick women, and the name saltpeter comes from the original purpose of the site, a factory that originally produced fire-based magic stones.

After centuries of evolution, the hospital gradually developed into a large medical complex, and now it is not only a hospital that provides medical services to Parieux, but also one of the important centers of medical research and education in the Jeonnam continent.

The night covered the upper floors of the Parieux Saltpeter Hospital.

In a single room facing the glittering city, the moonlight shines through the gaps in the curtains, spilling like a trickle into every inch of space.

The décor of this room is simple, with the lights in the room dimmed to the lowest level, leaving only a bedside lamp that emits a soft yellow glow, giving the space a touch of gold.

On the pure white hospital bed, a red-haired girl lies still.

She was wrapped in a new bandage, and a few dried blood stains could be faintly visible.

Despite this, she has survived the crisis safely.

Over time.

The red-haired girl gradually regained some consciousness from her slumber.

Her eyelashes fluttered gently with difficulty.

It feels like it's dark.

Everything was eerily quiet in her ears, broken only by the occasional faint footsteps in the hallway and the whispered conversation of the night nurse in the distance.

After nearly half a minute, she finally opened her eyes slowly.

At first, she was a little confused, and she struggled to turn her head sideways, her gaze wandering around the room, as if trying to make out the quiet space.

The red-haired girl's gaze finally rested on the quiet night scene outside the window, the outline of the Parrieux skyline in the distance, and a half-missing moon hanging high in the sky, casting silver light on the sleeping city.

As she tried to move her body, she felt a numbness in the bandage-wrapped area, as if it wasn't her own at all.

"This is ......"

The red-haired girl slowly struggled to sit up from the bed, the blood stains of the bandages wrapped around her body deepened again.

She realized that she wasn't alone in the room and immediately became alert.

Standing on the side of the ward, there was a man in a dark butler suit, brown hair and gentle green eyes, looking polite.

And beside the bed, there is a blonde girl, her posture has both aristocratic elegance and a little worry.

She always felt that she had a little impression of these two people, but she was not so deep that she couldn't remember who they were.

"Who are you?"

The red-haired girl's voice was visibly wary and cold,

"Why am I here? What are your intentions for me? ”

She clenched her hands, ready to fight the two of them at any moment.

"Do you remember who you are?"

Christina was the first to ask.

She looked at the bandage on the red-haired girl's forehead that had begun to flush again, and asked with some concern.

It stands to reason that Inuoan, who had just fought with them in the Holy Silver Vine Arena the day before yesterday, should not be able to recognize the two of them.

The doctor's diagnosis report was that Miss Enoan had suffered many fatal injuries and survived by physical fitness, but her brain was severely damaged, and she may have physical incoordination, a drastic change in temperament, and memory loss.

Christina's question stunned the red-haired girl.

"Who am I......?"

The red-haired girl reached out in confusion, touched her cheek, and muttered to herself.

Looking in the mirror, I was stunned for a long time without coming up with an answer.

Finally.

"Your name is Enoan Hohenrenso."

Ranch handed her her ID and said to her.

"And who are you?"

Enoan took the small bag of her belongings, including her purse and papers, and looked up at the two of them.

She checked it and found that it was indeed her own.

"My name is Rocky McCarthy, she's Christina Baptiste, don't be so wary of me, we sent you to the hospital, you can ask the doctor and the police."

Lanch explained.

"Hmm......"

Enoan covered her head so hard that even as the blood began to penetrate the gauze, she didn't feel the slightest feeling.

Her mind was a mess, searching for fragments of memory, but all she could reach was confusion and fear, like she had no direction in a thick fog.

The only feeling that sticks in my heart is that I seem to be in danger of my life.

The despondency of being chased is deeply engraved in her heart!

As for the identities of the two people in front of him who seem to have an impression, I only feel that it should not be these two people who are chasing and killing me.

"Can you remember anything? If you need help, we're here to help. ”

Ranch had actually been very worried about Enoan since he met her the day before yesterday, and he asked sincerely.

He always suspected that there was something wrong with Enoan's mental state.

The current state is not a bad thing for Innovaan.

“……”

Enoan shook his head.

Penniless, with no relatives or friends, only a lonely identity document, and still being hunted down.

"What should I do?"

After a long time, Inuoan looked up at the two of them and asked.

At this moment, the red-haired girl seemed to be standing at a crossroads, and the thick fog of memory made her full of doubts about everything.

She knows that the only thing she can rely on in this unknown environment is her intuition.

Although the brown-haired butler and blonde woman in front of her may seem harmless, she is now extremely insecure, and anyone can be a potential threat.

The intense uneasiness of the loss of memory made her nerves tense.

"In this case, you come to Baptiste's house as a day maid, let Rocky teach you how to work, and then you can find other jobs, and you should be able to support yourself."

Christina suggested.

After Rocky's butler won over Inuoan that day, she felt a little pitiful for Inuoan.

Unexpectedly, the red-haired boy was actually a girl.

Now she can't feel the terrifying aura on the other party at all, she only thinks that maybe the other party will fall like this, and it has something to do with the fact that she caused her to lose money, and the guilt also arises spontaneously.

“……”

Enoan hesitated, thinking that the blonde girl in front of her didn't look like a bad person.

Her face was still pale.

"Well, I'll give you something to eat."

As if remembering something, Christina took out the ghost bread she had bought in the Demon Realm and handed it to her.

Enoan tentatively raised his hand, then took the bread bag, tore open the package, and brought the transparent bread to his mouth, as if he hadn't eaten much in two or three days.

After eating, the ward fell silent again.

After nearly a minute of silence, she finally nodded and agreed to the other party's offer.

"Let's go."

Inuoan stepped out of bed, stumbling, and holding down the end of the bed before barely standing.

The bandages on his body began to turn red again, possibly because the wound had cracked.

"You don't have to be in such a hurry to work, I can give you an advance."

Christina helped Enoan with some concern.

Enoan looked at her.

She didn't actually want to return the favor, she just felt that following these two people would be safer than staying in the hospital.

What she lacks most now is a sense of security, everything is very unfamiliar, and she can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood.

She was the only one who was a little inexplicable, and it seemed that neither of them had ever been malicious to her.

"I don't feel pain."

Enoan said indifferently.

That's the only thing she's sure of.

She couldn't feel the pain, and even when she was beaten to the point of dying, she only felt stiff and her body was not easy to move.

Suddenly, Inuoan felt a gaze.

“…… Why are you looking at me like this, shouldn't it be a good thing that you don't feel pain? ”

Enoan noticed that the butler's emerald green eyes seemed to have a hint of compassion, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Pain is actually a very important protective signal, if you don't know what pain is, then you will become easy to hurt yourself, easier to hurt others."

Ranch muttered to himself.

"I don't hurt anyway."

Enoan muttered to himself disapprerovingly.

She didn't think it was a bad thing, otherwise the wounds on her body would have made her suffer a lot.

"Yes."

Ranch smiled, and didn't mean to delve into the issue with Enoan.

There are some issues that they can talk about slowly in the future, but the only important thing now is to take care of her.

"I'll be your employer from then on."

Christina said to Enoan with relief.

She felt much better now than when she first met Inuoan, and it was no longer so scary.

She has a better eye than her brother.

Her brother hired a Rocky to come home, and he looked like an evil god no matter how he looked, while the Enoan she hired was obviously relatively normal, and if you looked closely, she was a pretty girl.

"I'm probably clumsy, don't scold me."

Inuoan whispered.

Maybe if you don't do a good job, you'll be fired right away.

She always felt that she might not have worked, and she had never worn a maid's outfit at all.

And she was inexplicably a little resistant, as if if she would lose something forever if she wore this dress.

But it's better than living on the streets and continuing to be hunted down.

"It's okay, if you don't understand, I'll teach you, please take care of me for the rest of the time."

Ranch said softly to Enoan.

I don't know why, but his work is getting more and more.

However, Enoan is very strong, it must be a good thing for her to sign a contract and stay in Count Baptiste's house, the matter of the cursed demon clan has become more and more serious recently, and the flowers may not be completely safe, even if Lanchi does not stay in the Earl's house at that time, no matter what evil things are found, it is good that the Earl's family has another town house thug.
