In the early morning, the bright sunshine shines into the forest, and a dark red castle appears.
The castle is very big, but only one person lives in it.
On a big bed, the silver-haired Alice opened her eyes, yawned, stretched her waist, and sat up.
Taking off her nightcap, the hunchbacked Alice staggered to the window and opened the curtains - an endless stretch of green came into view.
Alice's appearance and figure are all that of a kind old grandmother, but the clothes she wears are all in the style of a little girl.
"Good morning, Dark Forest."
Alice smiled and said hello to the forest she was looking after, and then she clapped her hands. The broom and dustpan parked in the corridor started to move on their own. The bucket and rag in the bathroom also picked up the water and squeezed it, scrubbing the floor.
The pots and pans are also busy.
As Alice walks down the stairs, the characters in the paintings hanging in the stairwell will talk to her:
"Good morning, Alice, you are getting a little older again."
"People will always grow old. Even if you are as powerful as the Black Emperor, you can't avoid it, let alone me." Alice leaned on the armrest and walked to the restaurant unhurriedly.
"However, even if the Black Emperor ages, his appearance will not change, he will only lose his vitality." Another painting reminded, "Alice, have you forgotten something?"
Alice paused for a moment. She looked at the painting doubtfully. After thinking for a while, Alice said:
"It seems so, thank you for reminding me."
After she finished speaking, her kind expression disappeared completely, her squinted eyes opened, and her bent waist straightened. She walked quickly down the stairs with flying speed, and her movements were agile, not like an old man at all.
"Damn! I forgot again!" Alice scolded and walked away.
She remembered that not long ago, she was attacked by five powerful demons from the abyss, and part of her power was taken away. One of the demons stole her appearance when she was young, causing her to become like this.
The five demons who attacked her were very cautious, knowing that they could not kill Alice, so they tried to tamper with her memory so that she would think that she was the steward of this forest every day when she woke up.
Fortunately, the magic furniture in her dream castle witnessed the whole process of her being attacked. Because of Alice's weird behavior, they guessed what the devil had done to her, so they reminded her every day.
However, this can only remind Alice that she is not an old man and was attacked by five demons. As for which demons attacked her, the furniture cannot tell Alice because once the demons are mentioned, they will lose their magic power.
, turned into ordinary furniture.
The warehouse of the castle is already filled with ordinary furniture that has lost its magic power in an attempt to tell Alice the identity of the devil.
"Damn demons, like humans, are not good things."
Alice came to the dining room and sat down. The napkin flew over and tied it automatically. The kitchen door slammed open, and the plates were lined up like soldiers on the table - sandwich bread, cream cake, fruit, milk.
Although they are ordinary ingredients, they are presented in a very high-end manner.
Alice picked up her knife and fork and began to eat her breakfast, remembering as she ate.
She had to recall it once in order to remember things related to the devil today, although tomorrow, she would have forgotten all these things again.
The demons not only stole her power and appearance, but also left their own marks and sealed her in the dark forest.
Alice would not be able to leave the Dark Forest without killing all five demons. However, these five demons had long since escaped back to the Demon Realm. She had no way of contacting these demons and could only find outsiders for help.
"I seem to have asked two people for help. It's been so long, but there's still no news at all. It's really useless." Alice curled her lips, picked up the milk and drank it.
"The Black Emperor was sealed in the abyss. It is probably due to her influence. The demons are much stronger than before, and they were able to find me hiding in the dream. If I hadn't been sleeping... how could I have allowed you to steal my divine power?
!Do you idiots understand how to use divine power?"
After she finished cursing like she was venting her anger, Alice couldn't help but sigh. Although she felt that the demons couldn't use divine power, that was already a thing of the past. Judging from the increasing intensity of absorption in the forest, not only did they understand how to use it,
, and it works very well.
Putting the empty milk bottle aside, Alice felt something strange in the forest. With a wave of her hand, a bubble penetrated the wall and quickly shuttled through the trees.
In a corner of the forest, a magic circle for teleporting demons had just been formed when it hit a bubble.
Alice waved again, and the teleportation circle was wrapped in bubbles and returned to her.
Teleporting the magic circle requires coordinates. Each time it moves, it must be reconstructed. The bubble brought the magic circle all the way and must be reconstructed countless times. This is an almost impossible thing to accomplish, but Alice did it easily.
.
She was already the God of Dreams during the period of the Black Emperor. Because she was still young, she was left behind when the Black Emperor destroyed the gods. Later, during the Demon God War, she was surrendered by the Demon God and mastered the power of blood.
It's just that she doesn't like to use it very much and often distributes it. It can be said that she is the ancestor of vampires and berserkers.
The berserker she created is also a powerful force against the Demon God. It can be seen that although Alice is the second most powerful Demon King under the Demon God, she actually does not help the Demon God very much.
As for the reason...it's because the devil is a person that Alice hates very much.
Alice is now the only living god in the world. She is a pure-blooded god. She is a god when she is born, and does not need to rely on inheritance such as godhead.
The person the Gods hate the most is naturally the Black Emperor who initiated the "Destroy the Gods" campaign.
In the teleportation circle, something like a slime was drilling out, but it was covered in lumps and looked much more disgusting than a slime. It squeezed out of the teleportation circle and filled up the bubbles.
"Is it the plague demon again? Is it because this thing is easy to produce, so you threw it here to test my situation?" Alice led the plague demon around the castle like a balloon.
A similar teleportation circle will appear in the dark forest once a week. The "nameless" demons that appear from the teleportation circle have been transformed. As long as they come to the forest, they can absorb a little bit of Alice's power, but every time
Each time, he was directly captured by Alice, and then the organs that could absorb her power were destroyed.
"One of the demons that attacked me must be a plague demon." Alice glanced at the demon behind her and decided to try to see if she could regain her name and regain her sanity.
Alice has tried before, but all failed.
These five demons can even affect Alice's memory. Destroying a demon's memory can naturally be done very well, but Alice still has to give it a try. What if one day, these five demons neglect it?
Even the Black Emperor, who was almost perfect in Alice's eyes, made mistakes due to negligence in the end, which triggered the "Demon War"...
"You five demons, you'd better not make any mistakes before I die, otherwise if I catch you, you will be trapped in nightmares forever."
Alice came to a room full of mirrors and glanced at countless aging bodies and skin covered with wrinkles. Her eyes became more and more gloomy and she said to herself:
"The aging of the body is real... If I don't regain my strength, I will die of old age in this forest in a few years.
Black Emperor, I understand you a little now. How terrible it is when death is approaching. No wonder you were stupid and listened to the slander of our Gods to fuse with some demon species and pursue eternal life...
A human being has lived for 700 years and is almost catching up with the gods, but he is still not satisfied. In fact, you are not as great as the world praises you, haha.
If you let your followers know that the demon they fight is the Black Emperor they worship..."
Alice sat down on a chair in the middle of the room as she recalled old events that were inconsistent with historical records.
This is also one of the restrictions given to Alice by the five demons - the regulators of the Dark Forest.
She needs to stay in this room for at least 12 hours every day.
They waste Alice's life with meaningless work.
After Alice sat down, her figure was no longer reflected in the mirror. A very blurry picture first appeared on it, as if the TV signal was not good.
These mirrors are the monitors of the dark forest. They will automatically capture abnormalities in the forest, and Alice can also adjust the angle herself.
Alice uses them to find people who can help her.
She has already found two - one broke into the Dark Forest when he was very weak. She trained and protected him after he left the Kalita area, and then never came back; the other one is about to disappear.
It’s been a week…
Human beings are indeed very unreliable. They make so many promises, but in the end they just want to share her power.
It's better to find a few half-demon people to train them. Although the hybrids will be stupid, the dumber ones may be easier to use.
The human race is really terrifying. During the Demon God Warrior period, a variant was actually produced. If the gods had the ability to reproduce like humans, what would happen to the Black Emperor?
The picture in the mirror gradually stabilized, and suddenly, a very loud voice sounded in the room - "Alice! Are you there? Can you come and see me?"
Alice frowned. The forest was quiet in the early morning. Listening to the gentle chirping of birds and the sound of gurgling water would bring a good mood for the day, but today all sounds were drowned out by this shout.
"What idiot." Alice muttered, turned down the volume of the mirrors that captured Su Ming's images, and then observed Su Ming.
Human, animal tamer.
Slime, quilboar, garbage race;
Dragon, little devil, not bad;
Huh? Is there another Sun Scarab larvae? This guy protected a bunch of orcs in the past. If they were more cruel, they might be the demon species of the Fate Continent.
There are also two female companions. They are indeed human beings, and there are always many people of the opposite sex around them.
Suddenly, Alice opened her eyes wide, zoomed in on Su Ming's picture, and stared at the "Orbital Wind" on Su Ming's shoulder for a long time, confirming that it was the main force in the previous fight against the devil, worn by one of the Ten Saints.
equipment.
"Wasn't it actually destroyed?" Alice rubbed her chin and thought, "Although he looks stupid now, he must be something special if he can obtain the equipment of the 'Ten Saints'. He may be able to help me."
Find the 5 demons who framed me."
Although Alice had considered half-demon before, she still preferred to believe in humans. During those years of battles, the courage and wisdom displayed by humans left a deep impression on her.
A very polarized race, even if it is as powerful as a demon god, it is still exhausted by humans.
And...we are looking for fools anyway, and human fools are definitely stronger than half-demon fools.
Alice's racial prejudice is very serious...
"Why did he come to me? Did he also want to get my power?" Alice tapped her knees with her fingers, and Su Ming's call came to her ears over and over again.
Alice's castle can be moved. If she doesn't want to see Su Ming, Su Ming can't find Alice even if he screams and searches the entire dark forest.
The Emperor and the Green Dolphin thought they were lucky enough to meet Alice, but in fact it was Alice who went looking for them on her own, just like Alice was looking for fate now.
However, compared to the calm Emperor and the Green Dolphin, Su Ming's first impression on Alice was so bad that she still hesitated.
Alice saw the plague demon squirming in the bubble, got an idea, and said to herself:
"Try your strength first."
Alice flicked her finger, and the plague demon was wrapped in bubbles and rushed towards Su Ming's location.
————
Last night, Su Ming called Alice all night long. This morning, after he went to fetch Zi Teng and Zui Mingyue, he continued to call her.
Zui Mingyue and Zi Teng also shouted along with Su Ming at first, but in the end, they still felt too ashamed and stopped shouting without realizing it.
"This is the first time I've seen this method of finding quest characters." Zi Teng followed Su Ming, killed a monster that Su Ming had missed, and communicated with Zui Mingyue, who was also following Su Ming.
"This is also the first time I've seen it... Although it's possible, it's too strange." Zui Mingyue thought of Su Ming's previous operations with her, and said: "Spores always have some operations that normal people can't do. Fortunately, here
There are no other players…”
"Haha, maybe this is the charm of Brother Spore." Ziteng quickly caught up with Su Ming and asked, "Brother Spore, you have been shouting for so long, are you thirsty? Do you want some water?"
"This is so charming... Isn't it a good act of pure social evil?" Zui Mingyue glanced at Ziteng speechlessly. She wanted to ask Ziteng what she thought of Su Ming, but she was worried that Ziteng would say something that she didn't mean.
The relationship between Wisteria and Venus deteriorated...
Su Ming was not thirsty at first, but when Ziteng asked, he felt a little thirsty, so he drank the bottle of life potion as water, and then he received a message from Xingguang.
Starlight got up this morning and returned to Asa Valley Lai City for supplies. When she heard the NPCs talking about Su Ming and their actions last night, she was immediately shocked. While expressing her surprise to Su Ming, she also asked if she needed to follow him.
He can level up together, and he can share some tasks or replenish potions for Su Ming and the others.
"Sister Ziteng, sister Mingyue, do you two have any consumables that need to be replenished? Xingguang said he could bring them for us." Su Ming repeated Xingguang's words.
"No, I may need it in a few days. I have plenty of potions and food now." Zui Mingyue replied.
"Me neither." Ziteng said.
Su Ming nodded, sent a message to Xingguang, chatted a few more words, closed the message window, drank the remaining half bottle of potion in his hand, and then said to Wisteria next to him:
"Sister Ziteng, I'm moving on. You and Sister Mingyue should look around to see if there are any precious materials. You can collect some."
"Okay~"
After Su Ming ran away, he started calling Alice again.
Ziteng looked at Su Ming, smiled and said to herself:
"It's really energetic."
Suddenly, the sound of scraping grass blades was heard in the forest, and Wisteria immediately became vigilant. Just as he was about to issue a warning, a "slime" with a bumpy surface broke through the trees and crashed into Su Ming like two giant trucks.
