"Sorry, Lord Demon King, I can't continue to be loyal to you."

Pedro thought so when he was dying. The next second, his body was swallowed by the dragon breath. In order to prevent regeneration, Anne also waved her wand to release the concentrated wind element.

The extreme high temperature became even more intense under the action of the wind element. Pedro's armor has now completely failed and cannot resist the flames.

Emil saw Pedro's body gradually burning out by the flames, and his heart was extremely happy because he finally avenged Sion.

However, after a while, with the burning of the fire, Pedro's figure still existed. Emil couldn't help but wonder, this guy's self-healing ability has obviously failed, so how could he last for so long?

"It seems something is wrong." Emil said, scratching his head.

"Indeed, it's been too long." Annie also became alert.

However, when Emil felt relieved when he thought that Pedro was a powerful Dark Knight and that he had control over the fire element himself, he would naturally have a little flame resistance.

Because now, they have nothing to be afraid of. If a fire cannot be burned to death, then another one will be done.

After a while, Emil suddenly heard a whistling sound of wind, as if something was flying at high speed and was coming towards them.

Annie also felt it because the thing was emitting a considerable magical reaction, and she thought it was a reinforcement from the demon clan.

"Be careful, it's coming." Anne reminded.

Emil stared at the object flying at high speed. When he saw his true face clearly, he couldn't help but show an incredible expression, because it was the holy sword he forged before.

"……how so."

The holy sword flew straight to this side. For a moment, Emil even felt that the sword must have recognized him, so he automatically flew into his hands.

But as the Holy Sword approached, he gradually discovered that things were not simple, because its target was obviously Lilith.

In order to continue burning Pedro, Lilith could only maintain her mouth open and could not move, so she naturally became a living target.

Emil didn't understand why the Holy Sword attacked Lilith, but he knew very well that Lilith's scales would definitely not stop the sharp sword blade made of the Golden Ray Mine.

Anne was the first to react. She planned to throw out a small piece of paper to transfer the holy sword elsewhere, but its flight speed was too fast and the magic circle could not be covered at all.

"Oops."

"Lilith, please dodge it!" Emil yelled.

Lilith also noticed the threat. She wanted to block it with scales, but Emil said so, so she had to obey the orders.

The next moment, the Holy Sword just rubbed against Lilith's body, and at the same time, the flames wrapped in Pedro were extinguished.

Although affected by the elves' blood, Lilith's dragon breath changed from the fireballs that spit out into a columnar flame, for some reason, lost its inextinguishable characteristics.

Emil was also surprised, but he couldn't let it think too much at this time, because the attack of the Holy Sword was not over.

After passing Lilith, it turned around and flew towards Anne.

Only then did Emil realize that the holy sword seemed to intend to attack the person who hurt Pedro.

He looked at the place where Long Breath burned, and found that Pedro was not burned to death, but just knelt on the ground, his whole body charred.

Annie was worried that she could not cover the holy sword with a magic array, but she didn't expect it to come to her door. In order to prevent mistakes, she threw out several small pieces of paper at the same time.

As expected, the holy sword rushed directly into the magic circle and then moved to another place by teleportation magic.

Emile witnessed the whole process and couldn't help but feel sweaty for Anne. If she was a little slower, she would be suffocated. Fortunately, she succeeded in the end.

However, just as Emile was distracting his attention, he looked back and found that Pedro's figure was gone.

Because of the influence of the previous large magic, the forest where they were was already bare, and they could see the end at a glance, but he could not find Pedro everywhere.

Emil couldn't understand it. After all, with Pedro's current state, he couldn't run away even if he wanted to escape. How could he disappear suddenly?

Until he saw a hole appeared on the ground, which could allow a burly man to get in. It must have been made by Pedro with a magic sword.

He rushed over to check it out, but found that the hole was pitch black and I didn't know how deep it was.

Annie also leaned over. She used her magical perception, but nothing was detected. Perhaps the traces of magic that Pedro emitted now were too small.

"Oh, let him escape." Emil sighed and sat down next to the entrance of the hole.

Although he won the battle, he was still very frustrated that he failed to avenge Sain.

Anne walked over and patted his shoulder, comforting, "It's okay, there is still a chance in the future. The demons will always attack humans, right?"

After hearing her words, Emil also agreed. After all, when the Demon King personally led the army to attack humans, Pedro could not hide and not go to the battlefield.

Although I felt better when I thought about it this way, Emil still felt depressed because he could only rely on Lilith now. If he could be stronger, he might not have let Pedro escape.

However, at this time he remembered the Holy Sword again. Given that Alison had to protect Pedro just now, he guessed that the Holy Sword that fused the body of the demon would also protect the Dark Knight out of instinct.

When he thought of this, he smiled bitterly. I guess even Ophelia did not expect such a thing. He naively thought that he had a powerful holy sword, but he never thought that this was just a wedding dress for others.

.

...

After that, both of them went back to the mansion to rest because they were too tired.

The next morning, Emil was awakened by Rena's knock on the door in his sleep.

"Sir Emil, it's time for you to have breakfast."

"...You go and eat first, let me sleep for a while."

Emil was still confused, and he turned over and planned to continue sleeping.

"That, Lord Emil, I didn't mean to disturb you to sleep, but now it's... almost noon. As far as I know, three meals a day are essential. If you miss the breakfast time, it's very likely that

It has a bad effect on the body, so I suggest you should get up and eat first, and…”

"Okay, I understand."

Emil took a deep breath, opened his eyes and looked out the window. Sure enough, he found that the sun had risen very high, so he had to follow Lena's advice.

Although he doesn't care much about the aristocratic red tape, he can't go too far. He is now the lord of Heitan Town.

However, when he thought that even the people had left the town, he became more and more melancholy, which made him feel that others wanted his position as the city lord, and then he was lucky and got a bargain.

He finished dressing with a low mood, then opened the door and saw Rena standing outside with a respectful look on her face, smiling at him.

"Good morning, Lord Emil."

"Um."

Emil nodded, but did not dare to look at her. Since the incident last night, he felt a little inferior.

I originally thought that with those more than 300 villagers, he could rest assured, but I never thought that the whole thing was a trap of the demon clan. Not only did he almost die, he also put the people in danger.

Fortunately, he was the only target of those monsters, and they immediately ran away after failure and did not hurt others.

From this point of view, he also protected the people to some extent, but even so, he couldn't be happy because there were many things that would cause him a headache next.

For example, what should we do if the reconstruction work of towns is done? Even if those people become nobles and do not have servants to help manage them, they will not be willing to manage their land.

In this way, Emil was leading the restaurant under Rena's guidance.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a young girl sitting at the end of the dining table. Pagris was chatting with her. Although she was talking and laughing, she could still see the embarrassment on the old butler's face.

Emil thought they must have finished breakfast, and he came at the end, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. However, he suddenly realized that he was the city lord, how could they have a meal before the master?

Only then did he understand why Pagris showed such an expression, because he called the guest to have a meal, but because the host had not yet got up, he had to find a way to delay.

When Emil thought of this, he became even more embarrassed and couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, what kind of city lord am I? I can't even entertain guests."

However, Anne had no objection. When she saw Emil coming, she quickly stood up and greeted her.

"Yo, good morning, Emil."

"Good morning, good morning." Emil smiled awkwardly.

"Ahem, Lord Emil," Pagris said with a light cough, "It's time to have a meal now, please sit, Miss Anne, please sit too."

So Emil and Anne sat at both ends of the long dining table, while Lena and Pagris were able to sit at the dining table because they had obtained the "charter" from the city lord.

Not long after, the embarrassing meal time finally ended. Emil quickly made an excuse and came to the city wall. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and breathe the fresh air outside the city. He suddenly felt much more relaxed.

.

He stared at the bare forest outside the city in a daze until Annie followed him.

"Emir, what are you doing here? The Dark Knights have been beaten like that by us, and they shouldn't dare to come for a while."

Emil shook his head and said softly.

"Annie, do you really think I'm suitable to be a city lord?"

Anne was stunned for a moment and soon understood what he meant, because although she was having fun while dining just now, she was keen to detect Emil's restraint.

She learned from Ophelia that Emil had just become the city lord for a few days and was driven to the shelves.

"But, who else can be the city lord besides you? Do you think those pampered guys are competent?"

Unexpectedly, Anne did not comfort him immediately, but questioned seriously.

Emil fell into silence. He actually said this to get Anne's comfort. Of course, he knew that he was the only one who could be the lord of the city in Blackpool Town at present, but after that incident last night and his neglect of the guests just now, he still

Feeling a huge sense of frustration.
