Roland was shocked when he heard the news.

It was too late for him to ask, and hurried along with the leaves to the back garden of the castle, where the lightning was unloading the two demonic corpses from Maisie's back to the ground.

“Your Majesty, we have won!”Seeing the prince, the little girl jumped down and jumped into his arms, "We have defeated the devil!"

“Is no one injured?”

"No, everyone is fine," she said, her eyes glittering with the light of "come and praise me", if there is a tail, it must have been shaken.

Roland exhaled and saw the other party showing such an expression, he was also not good to face to face to face why he saw the devil but did not return the responsibility of reporting, had to put the problem aside first, "no injury, then ... what is the specific situation?" 」

After listening to the three of you, you answered me one by one, and he finally figured out the story.

The battle seems to be easy, but in fact the risk is not small, if not Maisie eats a dry arc, or if the devil has the means to break free from the fetters of the leaves, the consequences are unimaginable.

"Next time, don't do this adventure again," said the Nightingale, unable to show up, "with Hilwi, the enemy can't escape, and it's better to give it to us to fight the devil."

“But we won,” the lightning grinned.

"That's good luck, before you fight, do you expect Maisie to be hit?"The Nightingale said mercilessly, "I teach you the gun art, so that you can protect your sisters in a crisis moment, not take them into danger!"

“Yes...” Her head tugged, “I know.”

"And you are too," continued the Nightingale, looking at Maisie, "knowing that you should come back and tell the news at this time, and make a fuss with her, and make this mistake again, and you will not want to eat a fish from me!"

“Goo...” Maisie’s head hung down too.

Not to mention the most combative witch in the border town, Roland looked at the Nightingale with approval, "Well, this matter is not an example."Go and help me call Tili and Agesha, and then there's the check-up of the booty."

...

In the basement of the castle, two corpses lay flat on the cold slate floor - they had been stripped naked, and the broken clothes and carry were neatly placed on one side.

“Is this the enemy of God’s war?”Tilly covered her nose.

“It doesn’t look much better than the average person,” Ash said, thugging,

Agra has a gloomy face, "Don't underestimate them, any devil, with or without magic, is a difficult opponent."If you face the high-level devil, even if it is superior, you will choose to wear the stone of divine punishment," she frowned at Roland, "they really appear near the town?" 」

"Ah, almost, according to the leaves, is only two miles from the town walls," Roland nodded, looking carefully at the body in front of him.

Their bodies are extremely tall, above two meters in their heads, their limbs are strong, and their skins are pale.One of the limbs has been severely deformed, the entire chest cavity has collapsed, and the organs have overflowed from the fissure of the abdomen, as if they have been crushed by a cement tank truck.With the battle of the lightning narrative, Roland can imagine how great the impact was at that time.

The other was much better, at least as complete as he looked from the front, with two holes in his body, still braving blue blood outwards—the lightning fired four shots at the enemy, and two bullets hit the target, one of which ran straight through the chest, no doubt a fatal blow.

Blood color is different, human blood is red because it is rich in transporting oxygen hemoglobin, the other party does not need to breathe oxygen, so it is not surprising that the blood is any color.

The shape of the bones is wider and unsurprising, after all, it is necessary to support such a strong body, and at the same time resist the burden of great strength.

It is strange that the two demons, although they are like humans, do not reproduce.

“How do they reproduce?”He asked Ai Gesha curiously, “Does the devil not men and women?”

“As far as I know, they have no gender,” the latter shook their heads, “the devil’s reproduction has always been an unsolved mystery, after all, it is difficult for us to get close to the Red Mist Tower.”Some people think that the devil was born in the tower, formed by the mist.But the Secret Council does not endorse this assumption, because in the hundreds of years of fighting the devil, many people have noticed the rise of the devil.”

“Promotion?”Ash frowned, “What is that?”

“When some demons who have been battered by witches reappear in the battlefield have changed in form, but as can be seen from the remaining wounds, they are still the same devils – which may indicate that the higher demons are not born, but break through in a battle, and once promoted, even their own form will change.”Ai Gesha explained.

Well, magic stone technology is worrying enough, the enemy also has the ability to upgrade, it is no wonder that it can defeat mankind in two battles of God's will.

Roland crouched down and looked at the clothes and carry.

Fortunately, these things are not above the average of the current era, and even... some behind.Clothes are a mixture of animal skins and weavings, as ugly as the work of primitives.The seemingly monstrous masks are actually just the skulls of mixed beasts, and they vary – proving that they were not made to obtain these fixtures.

Even the transparent mask embedded in the head of the beast is nothing more than a polished crystal stone, and because it is sown with the red fog all the year round, it has become blurred, and it is completely scarlet in front of the eyes, and I do not know how the devil can be used.

In addition to these, there are more than ten black slates and a few magic stones.

“Has the detective ever seen these things?”Roland spread out the slate, only a few of them painted with twisted red characters, most of them empty - these dark stones let him think of the towering buildings standing in the red fog.

"The devil's way of recording," said Agra, "this kind of writing is also recorded with magic, but we can't crack what's written on it."

"Maybe they all think differently from ours."Tilly spoke up.

"Indeed, it is possible," agreed Roland, "and what about these magic stones?"

“Perceive the stone, the wayfinding stone ... and the marker stone,” said Egsa, who glanced a few eyes, “is something often equipped to detect the devil, which is not uncommon.”

"Investigating the devil ..." Roland felt a little swollen pain in his head, "so the devil has now noticed this place and begun to send troops to investigate the situation in the small town?"
