Chapter 53: Miramichi
"Of course, when people don't like you, no matter how correct what you say is, they will object to it to disgust you."
After complaining, Gaia, probably influenced by Miramichi's appearance, casually mentioned what needed attention.
"I know,"
"That's why being popular is so stupid."
Saying sarcastic words, the demon twins looked at each other, stretched out their palms and clapped them together:
"Yeah!" x2
Raising her eyebrows, Gaia thought to herself that she was really being sentimental. A 10,000-year-old demon must know more about this than a star that sleeps all day long.
Searching the current time in his mind, Gaia found that it was still very early before the sun rose. He scratched his hair and thought about what to do next to pass the time.
daze?
Farewell, Miramichi is still here, it would be rude to leave them both alone.
Continue chatting?
But there is no topic that can be continued...
Just when Gaia was struggling, Miramichi took the initiative to speak:
"Hey, big brother."
"It's still early before the sun rises,"
"Come and hear 'my' story,"
"How about it?"
Gaia couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and lovingly stroked Miramichi's little head:
"Well, okay. Then I'll bother Miramichi."
"It's okay, it's okay."
"After all, Miramichi,"
"Saw that today,"
"I also want to recall the past."
Thus, Miramichi's story begins.
…
Six thousand years ago, it was an era when the four major races had not yet gained mutual trust and were at war with each other.
In that era, not only were racial conflicts frequent, but also monsters frequently appeared in the dark forest, disrupting villages and towns, leaving ordinary people without power to struggle to survive.
It's night, in a farmhouse on the edge of a dark forest.
"No -"
The miserable wail echoed in the dark night sky through the simple thatched huts.
Under the ceiling, the man's separated body lay in front of the two girls, his eyes filled with despair and unwillingness before his death.
At the rough cut of the head, the gush of blood slowly weakened, and when it was about to stop, a light green paw suddenly appeared and kicked the man's head away, flying to an inconspicuous corner of the farmhouse.
Then, twisted creatures with light green bodies, short stature, ugly faces, and only rags wrapped around their waists came to the two girls one after another. They looked at the despair and let out ferocious laughter.
Goblin.(goblin)
A monster that means God’s punishment in the ancient Elvish language. (god )
They are greedy and despicable, evil, cunning and good at deception. They mainly live in the dark and deep underground world, and have a unique order and system of action.
Although the level of cultural development is not high, it has unique insights into mining and building underground buildings. Although its combat ability is weak, it can make up for its shortcomings with large-scale group actions.
They are ugly little devils.
It is also the first monster that many adventurers fight.
Although they are very weak individually, they are quite difficult to operate as a group. Their favorite things are to threaten other races, attack villages, and abduct females for breeding.
But no matter how weak it is, it is still a monster that the defenseless girls who grew up in a farmhouse cannot deal with.
Seeing a group of goblins slowly approaching her, the slightly younger girl could not bear the fear. She left her weak-limbed sister behind and ran desperately to the back door to escape from there.
"Mary——"
Looking at her sister who had abandoned her, she shouted her name in pain and disbelief, but only got a running back in response. The next moment, the goblins swarmed up and tore off her body covering, and she was reduced to a worse life.
Tools of death.
While her sister was dragging the goblin back, she had already arrived at the wooden back door, opened the door bolt with trembling hands, and was ecstatic that she had finally escaped.
However, the moment the sister opened the back door, a huge shadow accompanied by Mo's red light enveloped the girl's weak body.
What appeared in front of the girl was a monster named "Troll", an upper-class Goblin species with a height of just over two meters, a strong build, and an ugly and ferocious face.
From the corner of his eye, he noticed the sudden appearance of a girl. The troll, who was holding a big stick in one hand and a piece of meat in the other, slowly turned around and looked at the girl who was paralyzed on the ground by him, with a ferocious ugly face.
Show a satisfied smile.
Throwing away the piece of meat on the other hand, the troll put the long stick on the ground with a thud, stretched out his thick palms to grab the slender legs of the girl who was crawling on the ground trying to escape, and then roughly pulled her back.
Before she had time to scream out the pain of being rubbed, with the help of Mo's light, the girl suddenly recognized what the lump of flesh was that was not covered by the shadow of the troll.
That was her mother who was ravaged to the point of being reduced to a human form.
The memory of her mother telling her and her sister to run away quickly and then locking the farmhouse door flashed through her mind, and the girl finally collapsed:
"No ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
The troll didn't care about this. It just used its rough and ugly fingers to tear the girl's clothes, but it was unable to completely tear them off because of the girl's last instinctive resistance.
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly echoed in the girl's ears:
"If you were asked to make a deal with your soul and escape from here, would you be willing?"
Hearing this strange sound that suddenly appeared, the girl suddenly felt terrified.
It's a devil.
They are a symbol of evil and are described as the opposite of gods and intelligent creatures. They take pleasure in deceiving, manipulating or ravaging other intelligent races with their power.
Although he abides by the contract, he will try his best to harm the other party when signing the contract.
The ultimate goal is to get the soul as a reward, either hand it over to please a higher-level demon, or keep it in your hands and play with it for thousands of years, until you feel bored, and then you will be given the final relief.
Normally, the girl would never listen to the devil's temptation.
But now, the god he has prayed to for many years has not responded, and only the devil has provided a way to save him.
After just a moment of hesitation, the girl made a desperate decision:
"save--"
However, just after spitting out the first syllable, the troll seemed to be tired of pulling and directly waved his arms and slapped the girl holding one leg hard on the ground.
When the girl was lifted up again, her pretty face that originally belonged to the upper middle was covered in dust and blood, her nose was completely collapsed, and several of her teeth were missing.
The most miserable thing is that only half of the flesh and blood is left, and the tongue is crumbling.
"Ah~ah~ There's nothing we can do about it like this."
Scratching his head in slight anguish, the first transaction in the human world failed. The abyss demon Miramichi sighed helplessly, waved the black wings behind her and left the farmhouse that had become a hell on earth.
"Well, at least the expression that turns from last hope to irreversible despair is quite interesting."
