"I asked you, why are you so slow in delivering drinks today? It turns out you met this beast." The white-haired middle-aged man with pigtails in the distance smiled and walked towards Lambert. This white-haired man
The middle-aged man is one of Master Odin's students - Jace. Jace is a level 45 demon hunter, and his power is considered the best among today's demon hunters.
"Uncle Jess, it's a good thing you're here today, otherwise I would definitely be dead." Lambert said with some lingering fear.
"These guys were just a piece of cake for you before, but it's a pity... Hey, let's not talk about this anymore. You should have expected the appearance of the wolf demon, right?" Jace put away his smile and looked at him solemnly.
Lambert said.
"Well, the teacher told me before he died, about the devil..." Lambert's eyes were a little disappointed. Without the teacher, no one knew how the continent would deal with the coming devil.
"Ever since the attack was reported in Ernica City, I have secretly investigated it. From some clues, I confirmed that the attacker must be a wolf demon after being demonized. However, these wolf demons are not orthodox, but human beings who have experienced
It's the result of some black magic or other things." Jace explained to Lambert.
While Lambert was talking to Jace, the demon-hungry sword in Lambert's hand was absorbing the black mist coming from the corpse of the wolf demon. As the absorption ended, Lambert was surprised to find that his level had actually increased.
Came to level three.
"Holy crap! Uncle Jess, after I killed this wolf demon, I became level 3 directly. It's been two years, and I'm finally no longer level 1..." Lambert noticed with joy that he had
His power has become much stronger. In the past two years, he has been unable to level up no matter how hard he practices. Now, after killing the wolf demon, he has successfully leveled up two levels in a row.
"It seems that your strength can only grow by killing demons. That's good, at least you won't have no strength to fight against the demons when they come." Jace nodded and said to Lambert, "
Okay, you go back and rest first, I will take the wine in the carriage back myself, since my home is nearby anyway."
After bidding farewell to Jace, Lambert drove the carriage back home. Along the way, he carefully observed the Devil-Hungry Sword. He keenly discovered that the patterns on the Devil-Hungry Sword actually had a few more traces of blood-red light. If it hadn't been for him,
If you observe carefully, this blood-red light can be almost ignored.
"Count Jace, I have been asking you to investigate the attacks in the city these past few days. It seems that you have gained something?"
Lord Edwards of Elnica, who was leaning on a chair, said lazily to Jace, who was standing in front of him.
"Reporting to the lord, today I encountered another incident of a wolf demon attacking civilians in the center of the city. The wolf demon has been killed. Combined with the predictions of the previous prophet David, perhaps the demon will really return to the Alk continent in the near future.
"Jes said slowly after bowing to Edwards.
After hearing this, Edwards' expression gradually became serious. He sat upright and said to Manager Balder beside him: "Draft two letters for me and send them to the two old guys Emhyr and Owen respectively.
Here, let them stop the war and stop fucking fighting. If they continue to fight, humans will be exterminated by demons."
"Yes, Lord, I will do it immediately." Chief Bald said with a respectful look.
"In addition, the matter of the wolf demon shall be kept confidential for the time being. Do not leak it to civilians. It is enough for us to know about this matter to avoid causing panic and riots." Edwards waved his hand and motioned for Balder to go down.
"You've done a great job, Jace. It may be even harder in the future. I will organize some cronies to work with you to maintain the safety of civilians in the city and try to avoid wolf attacks from happening again. If the situation worsens, maybe things will
It's going to be worse than we thought."
"Yes, City Lord." Jace bowed towards Edwards and said.
In Saint Mayed, the capital of the Os Empire, Bloodhoof Owen was having a nightmare.
"No! Father! Don't hurt my father!" Owen shouted heartbreakingly at the people in front of him.
At this time, several orcs in front of him were unscrupulously beating Owen's father who was lying on the ground. After a while, the orcs spat on his father and left the place, leaving only the man lying on the ground.
Owen crying on his father's body and his father who has passed away.
The scene changed, and Owen was buying food with his mother in a store.
"Please, boss, I really only have this money left. Please take pity on us and sell us this food." Owen's mother, dressed in rags, begged the shopkeeper, with wrinkles on her face.
And the sense of vicissitudes brought about by the hardships in life makes her like a 60-year-old old lady.
"Go, go, get out if you don't have money. I'm not doing charity. There are people behind you who want to buy things, so get out." The owner of this shop is an elf.
Owen and his mother stood on the snow and walked towards home. As they walked, their mother suddenly fell to the ground in a daze. This time, only Owen was left standing there.
"Father! Mother!" Bloodhoof Owen shouted fiercely and suddenly sat up from the bed.
"Your Majesty, you have another nightmare." The attendant on the side quickly brought a glass of water to Owen to calm his shock.
"Yeah, I dreamed about some things from the past again." Although Owen's expression gradually returned to calmness, the hatred in his heart for the orcs and elves was even greater than before. As for the so-called racial nobility.
, it was just an excuse that Owen himself said casually to slaughter the orcs and elves. As a war madman, he is known as the God of Human War. He naturally has countless supporters around him, otherwise he would not have the same relationship with Dolores.
With the strength of the Empire's divisions, Owen's men don't care about the reasons for massacre of foreign races. They just want to follow Owen and unify the Alk continent.
Time turned and in the morning, Owen was enjoying breakfast. General Fila came towards Owen with a letter. Phila was the chief general of the Os Empire. Although he was a daughter, he also
She was once the leading demon hunter on this continent. With a level as high as level 72, she was almost unrivaled in the Alk continent. Although she was nearly fifty years old at this time, she still maintained her ability as a demon hunter.
He looks like he is about thirty years old. This is also one of the talents of a demon hunter. He is able to age slower than ordinary people in appearance.
"What's wrong, Fila, what's the matter?" Owen took a sip of coffee and asked Fila.
"Your Majesty, someone from Elnica sent a secret letter in the name of Lord Edwards." Fila respectfully handed the envelope to Owen's hand, and then took two steps back.
Just stand there and wait.
Owen opened the secret letter, and the expression on his face gradually changed from calm to wrinkled. He handed the letter into Fila's hand, "You should also take a look." Owen said, holding his forehead.
Fila's expression also became serious. As a former demon hunter, she naturally knew how terrifying demons were. Thirty years ago, humans' long-term war with demons caused heavy losses to the entire continent.
The final battle with the demon king Asmodeus claimed the lives of countless humans. Human beings who have experienced painful lessons will not forget the horror of demons and will never forget it.
"Your Majesty, if the devil comes back, the long-term war will make humans unable to compete with their current strength." Fila gently touched the dagger on her waist and said.
"I have been fighting with that guy Emhyr for so many years, and we are still in a stalemate. In Edwards' letter, we both asked for a temporary truce, and agreed on a time and place for three-party talks. What do you think?" Irving.
Asked Fila.
"Your Majesty, I really want to say that I don't want to give up the advantages we have accumulated so far. If there is a truce, Dolores may be able to breathe a big breath, but if there is no truce, only destruction awaits mankind."
"Okay, I know what's going on. You can go down."
"yes."
At the same time, the capital of Dolores - the City of Glory.
Emperor Emhyr III placed Edwards' letter on the table. He paced back and forth in his palace. It was obvious that he was a little anxious.
Sanders, the priest next to Emhyr III, could not help but speak: "Your Majesty Emhyr, no matter whether the devil invades the continent of Alk or not, a truce is a good choice for us. Our soldiers are working steadily on the front line.
If you are defeated, you need a buffer opportunity. We must participate in this meeting no matter what, but it should be noted that when attending the meeting, His Majesty must have enough bodyguards around him to avoid a sneak attack."
"That's what I have in mind, but we still need to know the attitude of the Ossian Empire. If we agree directly, it will appear that we are willing to show weakness and are afraid of war. Owen, that war madman, I didn't know that back then.
There is a way to control him. Now that his wings are strong, he has become even more lawless after rebelling against Dolores." At this point, Emhyr III involuntarily clenched the sword he put aside and complained. This chapter has been completed!
