The night in Dark Moon City seemed as tranquil as ever. The streets and alleys were mostly deserted, but the taverns were unusually lively tonight. Every tavern owner boasted that the Duke, to reward the soldiers and civilians who defended the city today, had ordered that all soldiers or commoners who came to drink would have their drinks covered.
Under such generous treatment, anyone who didn't show up would be a fool.
In almost every tavern, there were people proclaiming their own exploits. Some even claimed to have slain beasts like the Earth Dragon or the Black Flame Leopard. Even if it was known to be bluster, no one would dispute it.
As a clansman who fought and was injured while defending their home, no matter how much one bragged, it was just taken with a grain of salt. At least, at that time, they had tried their best and stood valiantly in that brutal battle.
However, when an extremely burly man suddenly asked, "For the past three years, thewarcraft have come every year. But I haven't heard of such a precedent in the past few years. What's going on?"
The noisy tavern fell silent at this question. Everyone looked at each other, unsure of what to make of it. Those who had heard the question began to frown.
It seemed they had stumbled upon a matter of great importance.
"Do you think it has something to do with the city official? Have you noticed that since he arrived, thewarcraft have come right away! And every time thewarcraft come, he's mysteriously absent. Isn't that just too convenient?" A seemingly simple and honest, strong man with thick eyebrows frowned and spoke calmly.
After this statement, everyone was taken aback. Then, more groundless chatter erupted.
"Let's not even consider if it's true or not, I'd say it's definitely this guy's doing!"
"Yeah... Makes sense. It's not just a coincidence. Every time he's absent, what if he's the one who brought that Demon Beast's wife here, forced himself on her, and now he's being hunted! Otherwise... why do we get such a huge group ofwarcraft every time? This time, even high-ranking ones showed up. If it weren't for the Duke and the Princess, perhaps...哎..."
The man, who looked rather sly, spoke with a glib tongue and then let out a sigh, only to start snickering again. But this topic certainly heated up the conversation. Immediately, another person stood up and said, "I think it's definitely that city official who's into that sort of thing. Didn't he fail to chase after our Duke? I bet it's because of this that he's come up with such a perverted idea. Yeah, definitely!"
After the thin man spoke, he nodded seriously as if confirming a fact.
"Haha, I think that's exactly what happened. Yeah... absolutely can't be wrong!"
"Right, right, right. Hahaha... I didn't expect that guy to be into that!"
"..."
For a while, this topic became the main subject in the small tavern. Groups of people began to snicker or whisper their thoughts.
Of course, the protagonist was still the "perverted" city official!
At this moment, on the roof of one of the taverns. The cold wind blew in, unusually chilly, as if winter had passed. Why was such a bone-piercing cold wind appearing in this spring.
"Sister, it seems that kid's plan is really working well. If I were to be targeted like this by you, maybe I would have already left the city!" Eileen stood beside Hsia, laughing while shivering.
Hsia still had a cold expression, her lips pursed slightly, and she said indifferently, "We still need to take a dual approach, instigate them, make them turn against each other, that's the key! And, um... let Nadas perform a bit more convincingly for me!"
After glancing at Eileen, Hsia lightly tapped the roof tiles. Then, with the wind, she floated up. At this moment, the white moon was still in the sky. In an instant, a figure blocked the light of the white moon and then disappeared.
Eileen pouted, boredly looking at the moonlight tonight. She shook her head and spoke to herself, "It seems we've really found a good strategist! I just don't know what sister will do with him later! Sigh... The grand Duke's palace, acting like those minor nobles, the road ahead is still long!" After speaking, she too turned directly and flew towards the palace.
...
Inside the deepest part of the Duke's palace, which was originally a quiet place and also the bedroom of the two young masters, two shabby strangers appeared today.
By a quiet lake, there was a small wooden house that looked very simple and small. The front door of the wooden house faced the lake directly. At the same time, the porch in front extended into the lake. With feet dipped in the water, a breath of cold air came, and Kason took a deep breath and laughed: "How about here, it's quiet, right?"
Little girl Angelina came out from behind the porch and slowly sat on the porch extending over the lake surface with Kason. After looking around, she nodded slightly and smiled: "Yeah, it's good. It's a very quiet place, and, huh... the elements are very strong!"
"Huh? Elements?"
Kason was stunned, not understanding what the little girl was talking about. At the same time, as soon as he entered here, he also felt very comfortable. There was a feeling of spiritual qi pouring from the top of his head.
"You don't know what elements are?" The little girl's mouth twitched slightly, really not understanding. From the beginning, she didn't know why she appeared in the abyss. At the same time, she didn't know why she was so strong. Moreover, she could eat fire. Now... she doesn't even know what elements are. All of this is too bizarre.
Kason accidentally spoke out of turn again. He frowned, and immediately turned into a wry smile: "To be honest, I still don't understand who I am. I just remember that my name is Kason! The other things, it seems that everything is forgotten. It seems that everything in this world is strange! Hehe... Whether you believe it or not, anyway, ah... I am like this!"
The little girl Angelina was slightly stunned, and she seemed to believe it. Looking at Angelina's sympathetic face, a trace of imperceptible weirdness flashed across Kason's mouth corner. "Hehe... Occasionally deceive people, it should be okay! Otherwise, I will be regarded as an alien!" After saying this in his heart, he looked at the round moon in the sky.
"I don't know if the moon in my hometown is as round as this now!" Kason suddenly sighed, and his eyes were a little dim. After taking a deep breath, he turned into a smile.
Once, I also liked to watch the moon so much. But now, it seems that there is no chance to see the original moon. However, the moon in this world is really not round. Hehe... It's always so round.
When people are in a foreign land, they always feel homesick when the moon is full. But Kason is very tragic. As long as it's night in this world, they can see the full moon, so...
However, the little girl Angelina couldn't figure it out. She frowned her small and curved eyebrows and asked, "Does the moon in your place have other shapes?" She looked at Kason blankly, and it was obvious that he had spoken out of turn again.
Kason's mouth was wide open, then he frowned, and laughed: "Do you believe that there was a world, it has the sun, and it also has the moon. But the sun comes out during the day. But the moon comes out at night..."
Just as he was about to explain, the little girl Angelina hurriedly stopped him, sneered, and said: "This is not the human world, right? Humph... The human world is in the embrace of light. They are all hypocritical humans under the sun."
But when Kason heard this, he was shocked. The human world... So... There are humans in this world too? Or, like the demon world, humans also exist in this world!
"How do you know about the human world!" Kason suddenly became interested in this topic. Of course, as a human, he would be interested in this topic.
Angelina tilted her head and stared at Kason seriously. Her eyes were very serious, and she also had a trace of doubt.
"Speaking of which, you are more like a human. You don't have the characteristics of the demon race, but the demon race doesn't have your black hair and black eyes. Similarly, there seems to be no such thing among humans. Moreover... You don't have the unique aura of the demon race. Hehe... What kind of person are you? Why do you also know about the human world?"
The little girl slowly stood up, also looking at the bright moon in the sky. However, at this moment, her eyes suddenly dimmed. It seemed that she thought of something sad. Gradually, her chin wrinkled slightly. At the same time, her shoulders shrugged. The silent crying came a little faster.
I know about the human world because of my family. After all, the family was very popular at the time. Moreover... Perhaps it was also because of that human secret treasure that destroyed my family!
But... It seems that this man also has a big secret! It's just... Like me, I don't want to say it! Um... I don't want to tell him the same!
Kason suddenly softened. He raised his head, pulled the little girl over and pressed her on his chest: "If you want to cry, cry out loud. Cry out all the unwillingness, all the anger, all the sadness, and get the greatest comfort from the crying. Hehe... In fact, I also want to cry!"
"Big man, you still have the face to say cry!" The little girl choked, her big eyes twinkling with tears. She stared at Kason like this!
"Men cry, men cry, it's not a sin..."
When the bold singing appeared, the little girl stared at Kason. Tonight is particularly quiet, but... It's also particularly warm!
