Reina responded, took one last look at the dilapidated house where she had lived for who knows how long, turned around and left with some reluctance.
They carried their luggage, two people and one cat, and left this place.
For Reina, who has never traveled far before, leaving the place where she lives is also a test.
The Demon King knows that human nature is to like safe and comfortable places. Although it is not absolute, most people are like this.
No one knows what will happen to them during the journey, but what is certain is that traveling is a hard and unstable thing.
The two of them were sitting on a rock to rest, Reina was drinking water and looking at the scenery in the distance, while the Demon King was looking at the map.
The devil thought.
Going north is to the Principality of Gran, and going south is to the Snake Ten Thousand Fu Empire. Going west is meaningless. You will soon reach the seaside, and you will be further away from the Demon King's army. Those who go in that direction are probably those who want to go.
The person running away.
So do you want to go east?
Across the mountains, there is a large empire of dragon boats. The Tongsiluo Empire is one of the three great empires today. I heard that magic there is very developed and most of the magic products are produced there.
Um……
It's really hard to make a choice. Judging from the current situation, Reina doesn't have the ability to climb over that mountain range.
So, let’s go south and visit Snake Wanfu.
I have been walking for almost a day now, and I guess I have entered an inaccessible place, and I will probably find a place to camp tonight.
Thinking about it, he decided to put the map away.
However, a gust of wind blew by, the grassland fluctuated with the wind, and a group of white figures appeared.
"Master! It's a sheep!"
Reina pointed into the distance and said.
The devil had a black line on his head, and he opened the map again.
It shouldn't be! There is clearly no town or village marked here? There should be no one living here, maybe wild sheep.
"Master! Someone is there!"
Reina shouted again.
There were blue veins on the devil's forehead.
Ding bell~
The sheep were like harvesters, lowering their weight wherever they walked. A shepherd woman in simple clothes stood up. She also spotted two people walking towards her not far away.
Woof woof!
A black shadow appeared out of nowhere and came to the side of the shepherdess.
"Hey~hello~"
Reina waved and greeted her. The other party seemed a little confused and stood there looking at them.
Woof woof woof!!!
The black shepherd dog barked fiercely and showed its teeth in a terrifying grin.
"Blackwood!"
The shepherdess called out, and it stopped calling, but kept staring at the two of them, especially the devil.
"Hello."
The Demon King greeted her. He didn't want to talk about the other person's clothing. After all, no one would wear nice clothes to do dirty work like shepherding. Moreover, she seemed to have not taken a shower for a long time, and her body was a bit dark.
"Hello."
The shepherdess said hello timidly. She was a bit tongue-tied and probably didn't speak very often.
The Demon King has heard that humans will suffer from a strange disease called amnesia if they don't speak for too long. This is not the case for a Demon King like him. Even if he hasn't spoken for forty years, he can still speak fluently.
"Is there a village or something nearby?" the devil asked.
The shepherdess nodded. She was probably older than Rena, or at least she looked more mature.
"Are you fleeing?"
she suddenly asked.
"Um!"
Reina snorted, but the next second an iron fist hit her on the head, making her head smoke.
"No, we are travelers and happened to pass by this place."
The devil said.
Traveler?
This word made the Shepherdess curious.
What~
"Mea~"
Reina squatted on the ground and tried to talk to a goat.
"I see, is there a small village to the west?"
"Well, my home is in the west." The shepherdess continued.
There is a village in a place not marked on the map.
It shouldn't be. Is this map expired?
Forget it, at least having a place to stay is much better than sleeping outside.
"Thanks."
The Demon King thanked him and was too embarrassed to disturb the other party, so he took Reina and walked west.
Of course, as long as he was willing, he could use search magic to find out if there was really a village in the west, but he didn't do much. After all, a journey full of unknowns is a journey.
After climbing over one hill after another, I saw human buildings.
Some houses made of mossy stone and wood almost blend in with the green grassland. If it weren't for the fence, it would be difficult to spot these houses from a distance.
The strange thing is that there is only one small stream near the river here.
In a place like this, the streams will dry up.
The village is not big, with probably less than twenty households, and there are some cultivated lands around it. It looks similar to an ordinary village, but a little poorer.
Their fence is made of stones, and there are two rows of stones on both sides of the road entering the village. Behind them are cultivated fields, but no one seems to be working in the fields.
Strange.
After seeing the two of them, some villagers showed puzzled expressions, as if wondering why there were travelers here.
This was also expected by the Demon King. Now he needs to find if there are any villagers who are easier to talk to. If he stays at his house for one night, as long as he has money, there should be no problem. After all, no matter what world the human beings are in, they will not hate money.
This thing.
I happened to meet two couples pushing a cart of dry straw.
"Hello, we are travelers passing through here. Do you know where I can stay overnight near here?" the devil asked.
The couple looked at each other.
"If you don't mind, we do have a vacant room at home."
This couple must be in their fifties, and they are very hospitable. The man's name is Luo Shan, but the woman did not introduce herself and did not know her name.
Their home is not big, but it can be seen that it was built with great care. It is very comfortable when you enter. It is an architectural style where there is no kitchen and you live and cook in the center of the living room.
"How do you find a place like this? After all, it's quite far away from the main road."
The woman brought a bowl of stew to the devil. The staple food was potatoes.
"Thanks."
The devil took it obediently. Although it didn't look delicious, he would still eat it to avoid trouble.
"Thank you, auntie."
Reina is also very polite, and the Demon King is worried that she will do something shocking again.
"You're welcome, where are you two father and daughter going?" Luoshan suddenly asked.
Reina, who was eating, suddenly started coughing.
It seems that he regards the Demon King and Reina as two father and daughter.
"He is my master." Reina said.
"master?"
Luoshan was a little strange. He looked at the Demon King doubtfully.
"Well, I'll teach her how to hunt monsters."
The devil replied.
"Hey! Really? Are you an expert in dealing with monsters?" Luoshan said in shock. The Demon King didn't know why he was so surprised. He had deliberately concealed the fact that he was an adventurer. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any trouble.
That's right.
Unless this village is full of shapeshifters.
As he said that, the Demon King glanced at the cat next to him.
Meow~
It seemed to know what the devil was thinking and shook its head.
It can accurately judge the changeable monsters, which is one of the reasons why the Demon King carries it.
"Then, we have something to ask you! Please help us!"
