At night, with a pine oil lamp lit, the old woman and Rena sat in front of the loom together. Under the guidance of the old woman, Rena gradually learned how to weave rope. The devil leaned on the window sill of the attic and looked at the sky with a worried expression.
of the moon.
The next day, they and the old woman went to the forest to collect fruits from the trees and prepare food for the winter. During this time, Reina felt more fulfilled than ever before, and she suddenly felt that it was quite good for the three of them to live together like this.
But there is no such thing as a feast that never ends. After this kind of life lasted for five days, the two of them finally left. Reina's little rope was also woven. In these five days, she learned a lot. The old woman taught her how to know the wild.
of plants to make simple herbal medicines.
The two stood outside the fence of the small courtyard, preparing to say goodbye to the old woman.
"Mother-in-law, we are leaving. We will definitely come to see you when we come down the mountain!"
Reina said with some reluctance.
The old woman hummed, and the corners of her mouth curved slightly. This was probably her smiling face. This was the first time the two of them had seen her smile.
Suddenly she waved to Reina.
"Give me your hand."
Reina didn't know what the old woman wanted to do, but she still did it. However, after she stretched out her hand, the old woman took off her bracelet and put it on Reina's little hand.
"Mother-in-law! This..." Reina was a little frightened. This silver bracelet had some very small words engraved on it, and there was a small gemstone on it. It was obvious at a glance that it was a valuable thing.
"Wear it. This is anti-cold medicine. It's cold in the mountains. Drink some to warm yourself up."
The old woman also gave Reina a bottle.
"Well! Thank you, mother-in-law."
"Be careful along the way."
After saying that, Reina ran out for a few steps, turned around and waved to the old lady, and finally ran to the master's side.
"Master, look! The old lady gave it to me, does it look good?"
She couldn't wait to show off the bracelet. She stretched out her right hand and rolled up her sleeve, revealing her white and rosy little wrist.
"Well, have you said thank you to the old lady?"
"Said it!"
Reina said happily, and the master touched her head as expected.
"Then let's go..."
…
Lilith was in a coma for half a month and finally woke up today.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw were a few logs with leaves on them.
"Lilith? You finally woke up!"
At this moment, Dotolo's voice came from beside her. That Dotolo was so excited for her to wake up. Could it be that she had died and came to the world after death?
Several footsteps were heard, and the light suddenly became dazzling.
"Hey, how are you? Can you still talk?"
Greer's voice came next, and Lilith felt a little dizzy, as if she hadn't woken up.
"I'm fine."
She sat up with Dotolo's help. She saw how wrinkled her clothes were and smelled a rancid smell on her body.
Oh my god, what on earth happened?
She squinted her eyes, raised her head, and saw her three teammates.
Dudolo in animal skin clothes, Greer with wounds on his body, and... Lin Chad in black clothes.
Suddenly, she frowned and felt a tingling sensation on her head. She immediately covered her forehead, and suddenly she recalled what happened before falling asleep.
The black sun hung high in the sky, overwhelming monsters were flying in the sky, and huge figures rushed towards the city wall.
Some of the soldiers around him were howling, and some jumped down in despair. The magic on the city wall failed for some reason, and monsters poured into the town like a flood.
Despair permeated the entire army, and the source of all this turned out to be...
"I'm no longer a human being! Why are you always the one who gets the attention! Why can I only be your leaf!"
That Oro's hands pierced Lin Chad's body, and he roared at him. Just when Lilith wanted to stop him, Lin Chad's body erupted with terrifying dark power. However, everything was too late,
Oro sucked away Lin Chad's power and turned into the monster he met in the Village of the Sage.
"Lilith?"
Lilith suddenly returned to reality, and she suddenly looked at Lin Chad.
"You...are not human?"
She frowned slightly and her eyes were a little confused. She didn't know how to face this person. No, maybe he was not human.
Lin Chad sighed and said, "Yeah."
She half-opened her mouth, but she didn't expect that it was true. She couldn't accept it for a while.
"What about the Ross Empire?"
"No more." Greer shrugged, as if he was talking about a normal thing.
Everything is gone.
Lilith wanted to cry loudly, but she gritted her teeth and held back. The three of them stood in front of her bed, as if they had something to say.
Greer and Dodolo told Lilith everything, including that they were now within the monster's sphere of influence and what happened to Lin Chad.
"Then you decide what we should do." Greener asked.
Lilith was silent for a moment. The fact that Lin Chad was a demon was a huge blow to her. She should have hated him, but when she saw his eyes, she gritted her teeth.
She sighed deeply and said: "I am not qualified to make decisions. I am an incompetent captain."
Then she raised her head and her eyes suddenly became firm.
"When we first met, we were prejudiced against you. After this period of life and death, I feel that we should not be prejudiced against him again because he is a demon."
What Lilith said made Lin Chad stunned for a moment.
"Hey, are you serious? He is a demon..." Greener was a little shocked. He couldn't believe that this was what Lilith could say.
"Yes, I am more serious now than ever." she replied.
Dudolo turned to look at Lin Chad and said to him: "You shouldn't have done anything to her, right?"
Lin Chad spread his hands helplessly. This was not the first time that he had been understood by humans, but it was certainly the rarest time.
Greener also let out a long sigh: "Well, since you said so, I can't do it anyway. What about you, Dudolo?"
Dudolo gritted his teeth and said, "No! I hate it when others lie to me! I will never forgive him!"
At this moment, Lin Chad took out a small golden box from his arms and placed it in front of Duodoro.
Dudolo immediately took it away.
"Forget it, let's forgive him for now."
Lilith laughed dryly, thinking in her mind that Dudolo was still Dudolo.
"So what should we do now, fight those monsters, or escape to other empires. This guy proposed to find his big devil, I will definitely not do that." Greer said.
Lilith touched her chin. Once the imperial capital was occupied by monsters, the way back might be even more dangerous.
Suddenly, she thought of something and quickly touched herself.
"Where's my pendant? Tatolo!!"
Dudolo shrank his neck and slowly took out a red pendant from his small bag filled with treasures.
"I saw that you couldn't wake up, and I was afraid that you would lose it, so I kept it for you."
Dotolo argued.
Of course Lilith knew what this money-obsessed elf wanted to do.
I saw her holding the pendant, quickly got up from the bed, walked to the embers of the bonfire, grabbed the pendant and placed it over the embers, saying: "My ancestors once left a treasure. When humans are unable to fight against the devil,
Only then can we open this treasure and use it to save the world. Now, I think it’s time.”
As she spoke, she threw the pendant onto the embers, and everyone watched as the red pendant fell onto the embers, causing a burst of smoke and dust.
One second passed, two seconds passed...
But nothing happened.
Greer couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that the human condition is not as bad as you think."
Tatolo touched his chin, showed a serious expression, and murmured the word "treasure".
Just when Lilith was about to pick up the pendant, Lin Chad suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute!"
He was stunned. Isn't this red pendant his work, the Crimson Pavilion?
