There was silence in the dark forest.

The cold, deathly mist spread mercilessly around, and the snow-white fog rolled and silently moved forward. And those monsters that were extremely ferocious were trembling and curled up in their nests, the birds had already flown away from the area, and even the sound of insects did not know when they disappeared imperceptibly. Only the cold moonlight shone on the dark forest and snow-white mist, like a dead graveyard.

The white mist moved forward, and immediately after, a slender and petite figure emerged from it.

It was a woman.

She has beautiful black hair that reaches to her waist, and her whole face is covered by a black steel helmet, and only the graceful figure wrapped in dark armor can still show a bit of feminine charm. However, if you look closely, you will see that the armor wrapped around the opponent's body is not fixed, but like flowing water, constantly changing between light chain mail and heavy knight's armor, it looks less like hard metal and more like flowing water. It is precisely because of this that the snow white that appears from time to time in the dark flow becomes more and more dazzling.

"Ahead is Issos..............."

The Black Knight paused, looked up, and whispered to himself. Contrary to what most people imagine, the voice of this terrifying-looking dark general was as crisp and beautiful as a yellow warbler out of the valley, even in the strange situation in front of him. As she stopped, the white mist that had been tumbling forward also stopped at the same time, and the pieces of mist rolled back more like a living being, as if a living being was looking back at his master.

"Fragment of the Dark Shadow Gate............

The Black Knight muttered to himself. Then she reached out, very quickly. A compass appeared in her hand just like that. However, unlike a normal compass, the compass held by the Black Knight is completely black. On top of it lies a miniature skeleton that looks as if it was carved out of white bone. I saw her pick up the compass and throw it into the air. I saw the compass spin, and then it stopped steadily in the air. Then he saw the skeleton lying on it spin around, then raised its head, and soon, a cyan beam of light shot out of its eye, pointing at the mountains in the distance.

Right there.

Seeing this scene, the Black Knight nodded, but the next moment. She lifted her head and let her gaze go beyond the mountains, even over Issos, to an inconspicuous spot among the mountains. Although she couldn't really see it, the Black Knight clenched his fists, and even the beautiful crisp voice became angry and excited at this moment.

Jenn ......... The day has finally arrived! You wash your neck and wait, the humiliation that I once had, now I want to return it to you in every possible way!! ”

"Ahh

Jenn couldn't help but sneeze. He took out his handkerchief and rubbed his nose. And at this moment, Jenn heard a lively voice beside him.

"What's wrong? Mr. Aristocrat, do you have a cold? It's cold in the mountains. Pay attention to your body. ”

"Don't worry, Miss Aina."

As he spoke, Jenn turned his head away. Looking at the half-elf girl who was sitting in a tree not far away, swaying her legs and looking at her curiously. She's a ranger. She is also the only two women on the team, who look about the same age as Tilis. It's just that compared with the quiet Tilis, this girl seems lively and cheerful, and she looks overactive all day long. After Jenn pointed out that the longbow in her hand was a magic bow from the Summer Solstice Forest, the half-elf girl seemed to be full of interest in Jenn, always surrounding him and asking questions and questions, almost using Jenn like an encyclopedia. And Jenn also used his social skills and charm to easily gain the favor of this half-elf. In addition to the charm bonus of the demon race itself, Aina's bloodline has also become his help. Both half-elves and elves belong to races that are more sensitive to magic, and one of the points that are sensitive to magic is that they are more susceptible to the influence and sensing of magic. This is one of the reasons why there are archers, druids, but very few mages. Because the blood of the elves makes them more susceptible to magical mastery, defilement, and depravity. In fact, even their distant relatives, the Dark Elves, are like this, only men will become mages, and women will only become priests, on the one hand, in addition to Rose's tradition of female superiority and inferiority, it is more practical that even if the male mage is lured by the demons to fall, it will not cause disastrous consequences to the entire dark elf race.

Although in general, in the description of the world, elves and dark elves are highly resistant to magic, Jenn knew very well that it was only for other races, just like the soft and vulnerable body under the hard case of a snail, once they were able to penetrate the surface of the elves, then they were affected by magic far more than humans and kobolds.

Sometimes, too pure blood is also a problem.

As a demon, Jenn has a natural advantage in casting magic, not to mention that Aina, as a ranger, has never focused on practicing the will barrier aspect at all. So it was quickly and easily won by Jenn, and she herself, apparently not knowing anything about it.

"It's just a little trouble, it's not the wind and cold, maybe it's a beautiful aristocratic lady who is thinking about it."

As he spoke, Jenn smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Hearing his answer, Aina reached out to cover her mouth and chuckled.

"Hee-hee-hee, you're funny, Mr. Noble. So, you already have someone you like? ”

"Since there are people I like in this world, there are naturally people who like me, Miss Aina."

To the half-elf girl's inquiry, Jenn only gave an ambiguous answer, and this answer made Aina pout a little dissatisfied.

"Really, like is like, dislike is dislike. That's not good for human beings, it's always vague. I can't say anything. ”

"That's because human life is not as long as that of elves, and naturally it is no better than half-elves."

As he spoke. Jenn looked at the girl in front of her, as a half-elf, Aina obviously inherited the elf's slender and slender figure and soft appearance, and a ponytail made of long emerald green hair swayed behind her, showing vitality and lightness commensurate with her master. Hearing Jenn's answer, Aina's eyes widened in surprise and stared at him.

"What Mr. Noble said is completely different from what the elder said, he said that because human beings have a short life, they are more likely to burst out with blazing light. While humans focus on petty profits. But there will also be a surge of passion, isn't it? ”

"There are two sides to everything, Miss Aina."

Jenn spread his hands.

"Because human beings have a short lifespan, they are also cautious about making mistakes. Elves can have a long time to correct their mistakes when they make mistakes, but for most humans, once they make a wrong choice, then that kind of regret will last through their lives, and even before they die, I am afraid that they will not be able to get rid of this pain. Because a lot of times humans are very stubborn. They are even reluctant to admit that they have made the wrong choice, and by the time they perceive that this qiē has caused painful results, it is often too late. ”

"It's horrible."

Hearing Jenn's answer, the half-elf girl with her hands on her cheeks blinked. She thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I don't know if you're right, Mr. Noble. Because you are completely different from the elders of the clan who sued me, but I think what you said is still very reasonable. It's just that I don't have a way to understand ............"

"There is no right or wrong way in this world. Only save zài or not. ”

Jenn shook his head as he spoke. After being reborn, he lived in the Nether for so many years. His thinking has changed dramatically. Faith, dignity, life, this qiē will be given different meanings in different occasions and circumstances, and right and wrong are not the question, because the existence of this world is the answer itself. Demons, humans, and gods are all the same, it's a cycle, and no one can escape it. It's as if the world itself, born, grown, weakened, dies, and then is reborn in the ashes, and the cycle never stops.

Doomsday cultists preach that the world will one day be ruined, and all obstacles are in vain. But all life is still going on in a step-by-step manner, the demons are still keen to seduce and fall, and the human beings continue to seek the glory and glory they crave in survival, and even the goblins will not tremble and wait for death because of the ruthless repetition of this world, but think about how to rob the next passing traveler.

So a thousand words finally converged into the simplest truth -- no matter how the world changes, as long as you concentrate on doing what you have to do.

"Mr. Noble.........

Sensing that Jenn's expression had changed, Aina couldn't help but open her mouth, wanting to say something, and at this time, suddenly, I saw the face of the half-elf ranger change slightly, and then she hurriedly raised her longbow and turned around, staring vigilantly at the dark mountains, and at the same time raised the longbow in her hand to aim, and then listened attentively, after a while, Jenn saw Aina move the elf-like pointed ears, and then breathed a sigh of relief and put down the longbow in her hand again.

"What's wrong? Miss Aina? ”

“……………… Maybe it's my delusion, Mr. Noble, did you hear anything just now? ”

"Voice? No, I didn't hear anything. ”

"I guess I misheard."

Hearing Jenn's answer, Aina also breathed a sigh of relief, and her pointed ears drooped, and then when she looked at Jenn again, her face regained her original warm smile.

"Then it is time for Mr. Noble to go and rest, it is late at night, and tomorrow we will enter the Lost City."

"Okay, I got it."

Hearing Aina's words, Jenn nodded, and then he reached out and pushed his glasses, looking into the dark depths of the mountain forest. Then, the corners of Jenn's mouth curled slightly, and he turned away with a strange smile. (To be continued......)
