Rostern Holy Cult, the Altar of the Devil.

"Here, this is the holy stone I promised before, and now it belongs to you. ”

The magical girl riding the unicorn, that is, the princess of the Holy Cult, Rachel, handed Luo Feng a stone that exuded a divine aura.

Rachel's father, Pope Manzel, spoke: "Your Excellency, please be careful, although the Demon King is dead, part of his power is still sealed in the Holy Stone, even if it does not bring him back to life, but there is a danger of eroding people's hearts. ”

Luo Feng took the holy stone and found that there was still a divine light seal in it that was dedicated to fighting against evil forces, and the effect was not external or internal.

After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that this was a test that the other party had left on guard after seeing the means of the Dark Master Ghost King.

"Rest assured, I'm not interested in the power of the Demon King, what I care about is the sacred stone itself. ”

He injected the Ten Thousand Slaughter Evil Yuan Gong into the holy stone, purified the demonic energy that contained the chaotic will, and finally cleared the seal along with it.

The aura of Wan Tu Yuan Gong is extremely holy and pure, and there is obviously no precedent for the fusion of saint and evil in the Asli world, and after Pope Manzel felt this breath, he reduced his vigilance a lot, and at the same time, he was secretly frightened by Luo Feng's strength.

Back then, it was precisely because of the undead demon king that he had to choose to seal it with holy stones, and because the strength of the demon king was too strong, in the end, he could only use five holy stones to seal a part of the power, and then hand it over to different martial arts countries for safekeeping, which was a way out of the question.

If anyone could purify the magic energy in the holy stone like Luo Feng back then, there wouldn't be so much trouble.

Seeing this, Ephram said: "Since the Demon King has been completely killed and there is no possibility of resurrection, our team that was only assembled to defeat the Demon King should also be disbanded, and I will return to Lunis with my sister to rebuild the kingdom." ”

Behind him were a group of elites who looked like motley armies, some were peasants with their hoes, some were knights from the regular army, some were mages from the civil church, some were hidden sages, and several princes and princesses from various countries.

The vast majority of them are gold-level, and there are also a few silver-level and hero-level, such a team is enough to subvert the royal power of a country.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Demon King is dead, the war is over, our mission has finally been accomplished, and this long journey has come to an end, thank you for your help along the way, if anyone wants to come to Lunis in the future, Arico and I will offer our most sincere welcome. ”

At the same time, Prince Leon, who had a prostration expression on his face, came out of the inner room and apologized to everyone: "Because of my negligence, everyone has been involved here, several countries are in turmoil, the people are displaced, and General Fluorite Selena and General Sunstone Glenn also died because of me, and I will not be able to escape the blame for this crime." ”

Ephram patted him on the shoulder and said, "To live, you can better atone for your sins, death can't solve the problem, and the future of the Grado Empire depends on you to save it." ”

Luo Feng and the others were spectators on the side, after all, except for the encounter of the final elimination of the Demon King, they had no friendship with each other, although the brother and sister Ephram and Erico thanked him for saving Leon, but it was no more.

It wasn't until the members of this team said goodbye to each other and were about to separate that Luo Feng stood up and said, "I heard that there are also many mercenaries in your team, if you can, can you come to serve me?"

In the team, a woman with a graceful posture, beautiful appearance, and long red hair elbowed a man with a scar on his face next to him, and said in a frivolous tone: "Jester, big business is coming, this lord who looks like a big deal." ”

The scarred man with a weathered face and a glance who knew that he was a mercenary shook his head and said: "Because of this war, Prince Chinas has just given me a very generous reward, enough for me not to take on tasks for the next few years, so I plan to go back to my hometown town and become an instructor for those children. ”

"Oh, I obviously have the face of a vicious bandit, but I didn't expect you to be a peace-loving person, you are really unseemly. The red-haired woman spun around in place, lightly scratched the scarred man's chin with a little stubble, and said with a smile, "Now there's good news, and even better news for you." ”

"What's the good news?"

"I'm going to make your favorite coriander stir-fry stew tonight. ”

"What's better news?"

"I'm also going to rest for a while, so I'd like to find a quiet place with Eun, whether you're welcome or not. ”

"Naturally, I can't ask for it, hey, don't ...... in this place"

......

In the end, no one wants to take the initiative to join.

Of course, it's not because of any prejudice, but because their respective countries have just suffered from war, and they need to go back to help maintain order, especially in this team, mainly knights and princes and princesses from various countries, they can't do mercenary work, and the rest of the people have also made a lot of contributions because of this trip, and after returning to rely on this comradeship, they can invite the royal family of their respective countries to get a good official position, and there is really no need to work for people to live and die, mercenaries have always been a hard job.

In addition, there are some people who choose to stand up for the sake of quelling the evil calamity, they don't value money and profit, and now they are just about to retire, such as the young hidden sage and another girl with dragon wings on her back.

Among them, there was a young man with an axe, full of adventurous spirit, who took the initiative to apply, but unfortunately he was too young and was pulled back by his father.

Seeing this situation, Emma snickered on the side: "It seems that you can't hire people if you have money. ”

"Still, there are people who want to. ”

Luo Feng looked at the girl standing in front of him, slender, silent and cold-faced, with a sword hanging on the left side of her body, and asked, "Are you willing to accept my employment?"

The girl nodded, with a somewhat indifferent expression.

Seeing that she was alone, Luo Feng asked, "Aren't you going to go back with your companions?"

The girl turned around and looked at the scar-faced man and the red-haired woman who were chatting happily and laughing at each other, a look of loneliness appeared on her face, and she whispered: "I can't do anything other than swing a sword, and even if I go back, I don't know what to do." ”

"What's your name?"

"Malika. ”

Luo Feng didn't react, but Emma couldn't help but exclaim: "You are 'Scarlet Flash' Malika! Lie to people, I once heard that group of stinky men in the bar say that there is a very powerful female swordsman in the Jester mercenary group, although she is beautiful but very scary, there is a scar on her face, which was left by her past lover, and said that if she is close to her, her life is in danger, and if she is not careful, she will suddenly cut something over, and those guys also boast that they escaped from the hands of 'Scarlet Flash', and they are very proud. ”

Malika said indifferently: "I don't have a scar on my face, only the head of the regiment has a scar on his face, and I don't have a lover, but I am the only female swordsman in the Jester mercenary group, maybe you misremember the name of the mercenary group." ”

Emma instantly figured out the reason, and suddenly said, "Remember correctly, it's you!" I think it must be that group of stinky men who are bragging and mixing together the news they heard from nowhere, and the result is that you have a scar on your face. In this way, if they say that they fought with you and escaped from your hands, I am afraid that there is a lot of water. ”

Malika was not interested, "Maybe." ”

Luo Feng reminded: "Explain in advance, if you accept my employment, then you have to be prepared for a long journey, we will probably go to a far place, if you have family, it is best to talk to them and ask for their opinions." ”

Malika said: "No, I was born in Jahana, and the people there have no other way to make a living except to go out as a mercenary, and my mother is long gone, and my father is also a mercenary. ”

Luo Feng bowed slightly, and at this time, the dark master Ghost Jun, who was the housekeeper, handed over a contract in time and said solemnly: "All the terms of employment are written on it, if Miss Malika has no other opinions, please sign it." ”

Just as Marika reached out to receive the contract, a breeze passed by, and the contract reached a short man in tight leather armor.

He glanced at the terms of the contract and said in surprise: "Wow, what a good reward! If you work hard for a year, you will not worry about eating and drinking for at least ten years, and this kind of good deed will be counted as mine." ”

His figure flashed, but he appeared in place again, as if he hadn't done anything, but the contract in his hand was back in Malika's hand, and then he bowed and said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Renak, I am a well-known thief, whether it is exploring ruins or scouting the enemy, my skills are guaranteed to satisfy you." ”

Emma was surprised again: "Rogue Renak, I've heard that name too. ”

Reynak made a tie-tie clip motion, although he didn't have a tie around his neck at all, and with a rather smug but somewhat reserved expression, he asked, "I wonder where this lovely young lady heard about my reputation?"

Emma recalled, "Oh, I remember, it's the negative textbook of the thieves' union! They say that if you are in this business, the less famous the better, if you are famous, it means that others will be wary of you, and then the difficulty of theft will increase, and the success rate will decrease, and only the crappy thieves will want to be famous." ”

Renak suddenly became weak, but then he regained his strength, picked his bangs and said: "This is jealousy, from the deep jealousy of mediocre people for geniuses, yes, for ordinary thieves, it is true that the smaller the reputation, the better, but I am different, I am a thief who aims to hoe the strong and help the weak, rob the rich and help the poor, so a teacher is famous."

Although others know your reputation and will be wary of you, but on the other hand, isn't this also a kind of training? The higher the difficulty, the more valuable the challenge, always shoot at a group of unsuspecting people, even if you succeed every time, there is no sense of accomplishment at all, and people live to constantly challenge themselves!"

"Oh—that makes sense. ”

Emma couldn't help but applaud, young people are always full of yearning for this kind of limelight thing, they can not only gain fame, but also practice justice, it is simply the best of both worlds, full of blood, youth and dreams, there is nothing more touching than this.

Luo Feng naturally wouldn't believe Reynak's words, but the other party's skills are indeed good, the same as Malika, both are gold ranks, and they are sophisticated, obviously senior thieves, experienced, and can give guidance to Emma from the same background.

So he said to the dark master ghost king: "Take another contract with the same terms." ”

"Obey your instructions. ”

After a cursory glance at the contract and confirming that the terms were correct, Reynak eagerly signed his name and said with relief: "Now I can finally get rid of Princess Rachel, and I don't have to work for a day job anymore." ”

Looking back on the dark years in the past, I couldn't help but feel sad from it, I thought that the princess of a country must be generous and was the best employer, but I didn't expect the other party to use "justice" as coercion, not to pay him half a salary, and to force him to do all the dirty work and hard work, and now it is finally to see the sky and see the moon in the clouds, it is not easy!

Just when Renak was thinking bittersweetly, Emma suddenly thought of something and asked Luo Feng, "Speaking of which, I haven't asked yet, where are we going?"

"Larbas. ”

Emma racked her brains and thought, "What country is this, why have you never heard of it?" ”

Marika reminded on the side: "Larbas is the continent to the east. ”

"I see, it's the Larbas continent...... I thought it was a nearby country, but I actually crossed the sea in one fell swoop to the opposite continent, which is too big, and before that, I had never even been to a neighboring city!"

"Reading 10,000 books is better than traveling thousands of miles and traveling, which is the best way to enhance your strength. Luo Feng said to Malika and Renak, "If there is anything difficult between the two of you, we can terminate the contract now." ”

"For me, it's the same everywhere. ”

"I'm full of food anyway, and the whole family is not hungry," Renak also looked indifferent, and gradually fell into memory, "Lalbas, I went there when I was young, it was more turbulent than the Areb continent, full of dangers, and the deepest memory is the honey of the wood spirit, which is simply the best of the best, and I personally think that it is the most delicious drink in the world, and you must not miss it when you go there." ”

"Since there is no objection, let's go, and the two of you can say goodbye to your companions first. ”

Renak hurriedly said: "There is nothing to say goodbye to, the mercenary is destined to live in a fixed place and wander for a lifetime, let's hurry up and get on the road, the back of the sunset without regrets is the best memory left for them." ”

This is Princess Rachel's territory, he is like an arrow, he is really afraid that this princess will forcibly leave him, or leave early and feel at ease.

Instead, Malika went to talk to the scar-faced man and the red-haired woman who had been in the same mercenary group, and although this goodbye would be a long separation, her face still did not show sadness and reluctance, but after a few simple words, she turned back.

On the contrary, the two on the opposite side were quite reluctant, shaking their hands vigorously, and asked her to come to the wedding of the two.

Renak glanced at Malika and said casually: "Feelings are much more difficult than killing, and you have to learn more skills to do it." ”

"I can only swing a sword. ”

Malika said, gripping the hilt of her sword.
