There was silence in the dark forest.

The cold, deathly mist spread mercilessly to the surroundings, and the snow-white thick mist rolled forward silently. And those originally extremely ferocious monsters shivered and curled up in their nests, and the birds

The children had already flown away from this area, and even the chirping of insects disappeared without knowing when. Only the cold moonlight shone on the dark forest and snow-white mist, like a dead cemetery.

The white mist moved forward, and then, a slender figure emerged from it.

That's a female.

She has beautiful black hair that reaches her waist, and her entire face is covered by a black steel helmet. Only her graceful figure wrapped in dark armor can still show some feminine charm. However, if you look closely, you will find that she is wrapped in the other side.

The armor on the body is not fixed, but is like running water, constantly changing between the light chain armor and the heavy knight armor. It doesn't look like hard metal, but more like running water. That's right.

Because of this, the flash of white that emerges from time to time in the flow of darkness becomes even more dazzling.

"Ahead is Issos..."

The Black Knight stopped, raised his head and looked forward, and then whispered to himself. Different from what most people imagined, the voice of this terrifying dark general was as clear and sweet as an oriole emerging from the valley.

, even in this weird situation in front of her. As she stopped, the white mist that was rolling forward also stopped at the same time, and the pieces of mist rolled back as if they were alive, just like

It was like a living being looking back at its master.

"The fragments of the Dark Shadow Gate..."

The Black Knight murmured to herself. Then she stretched out her hand, and soon a compass appeared in her hand. But what was different from the ordinary compass was that the compass in the Black Knight's hand was completely

It was pitch black. On top lay a miniature skeleton that looked like it was carved from white bones. She picked up the compass and threw it into the air. The compass spun around and then stopped steadily.

In the air, I then saw the skeleton lying on it spinning around, then raising its head. Soon, a green beam of light shot out from its eyes, pointing towards the mountains in the distance.

Right there.

Seeing this scene, the Black Knight nodded, but the next moment, she raised her head and let her gaze go beyond the mountains, even beyond Issos, to an inconspicuous place among the mountains.

.Although she couldn't really see it, the Black Knight still clenched his fists, and even the beautiful and clear voice became angry and excited at this moment.

"Zhan En...the day has finally arrived! Just wash your neck and wait. I will return the humiliation to you in every possible way!!"

"Ah sneeze!"

Zhan couldn't help but sneeze. He took out a handkerchief and rubbed his nose. At this moment, Zhan heard a lively voice coming from beside him.

"What's the matter? Mr. Noble, do you have a cold? It's very cold in the mountains. You need to pay attention to your health."

"Don't worry, Miss Aina."

As he spoke, Zhan turned his head and looked at the half-elf girl who was sitting on a tree not far away, swinging her legs and looking at him curiously. She was a ranger and the only one in the team.

Female, she looks to be about the same age as Tilis. But compared to the quiet Tilis, this girl seems lively and cheerful, looking like she has too much energy all day long. Zhan pointed out the long bow in her hand

After receiving a magic bow from the Summer Solstice Forest, this half-elf girl seemed to be full of interest in Zhan En. She always gathered around him and asked questions. She almost used Zhan En as an encyclopedia. And Zhan En

He also used his social skills and charm to easily win the favor of the half-elf. In addition to the charm bonus of the demon itself, Aina's bloodline also became his help. Both half-elves and elves

They belong to a race that is relatively sensitive to magic, and one of the reasons they are sensitive to magic is that they are more susceptible to the influence and induction of magic. This is one of the reasons why there are archers and druids among elves, but there are very few mages. Because elves

Their bloodline makes them more susceptible to being controlled, tainted and corrupted by magic. In fact, even their distant relatives, the dark elves, are like this. Only men will become mages, while women will only become priests. On the one hand, in addition to Lolth's tradition of women being superior to men,

In addition, a more practical point is that even if a male mage is seduced and corrupted by the demons, it will not have catastrophic consequences for the entire dark elf group.

Although generally described in the world, elves and dark elves are highly resistant to magic, but Zhan is very clear that this is only for other races, just like a snail is soft and vulnerable under the hard shell.

Just like their bodies, once they can penetrate the magic resistance on the surface of elves, they will be affected by magic to a much greater extent than humans and kobolds.

Sometimes, too pure blood can be a problem.

As a demon, Zhan En has a natural advantage in the use of magic. What's more, as a ranger, Aina has never focused on practicing will barriers. Therefore, Zhan En succeeded easily, and she herself was obviously not interested in it.

Still don’t know anything.

"It's just a little trouble. It's not because of the cold. Maybe some beautiful noble lady is missing me."

As he spoke, Zhan smiled and shrugged. Upon hearing his answer, Aina stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and chuckled.

"Hehehe, you are so interesting, Mr. Noble. So, you already have someone you like?"

"Since there are people I like in this world, there are naturally people who like me, Miss Aina."

In response to the half-elf girl's question, Zhan En only gave an ambiguous answer, and this answer made Aina pout her lips in dissatisfaction.

"Really, if you like it, you like it, if you don't like it, you don't like it. That's the bad thing about humans, they are always vague. They can't explain clearly."

"That's because human life is not as long as that of elves, and naturally it is not as long as that of half-elves."

As he spoke, Zhan looked at the girl in front of him. As a half-elf, Aina obviously inherited the slender figure and soft appearance of the elf. Her long emerald hair was tied into a ponytail and swayed behind her.

Showing the energy and briskness that befitted her master. Upon hearing Zhan's answer, Aina opened her eyes wide in surprise and stared at him.

"What the noble gentleman said is completely different from what the elder said. He said that because human life is short, it is easier to burst out with blazing brilliance. Although human beings focus on small profits, they can also have surging passion. Isn't that the case?

"?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

"Everything has two sides, Miss Aina."

Jenn spread his hands.

"Precisely because humans have short lifespans, they are also very cautious about making mistakes. When elves make mistakes, they have a long time to correct them, but for most humans, once they make a wrong choice, then

That kind of regret will last throughout their lives, and even before they die, they may not be able to get rid of this pain. Because many times human beings are very stubborn. They are not even willing to admit that they have made the wrong choice, and when they realize that

By the time all this has had painful consequences, it's often too late."

"It's really scary."

Hearing Zhan's answer, the half-elf girl, who rested her chin on her hands, blinked. She thought for a moment, and finally shook her head.

"I don't know if what you said is right, Mr. Noble. Because you are completely different from what the clan elders told me, but I think what you said is still very reasonable. It's just that I haven't been able to understand it yet..."

"There is no right or wrong in this world. There is only existence or not."

As he spoke, Zhan En shook his head. After living in the lower world for so many years after rebirth, his thoughts have undergone earth-shaking changes. Faith, dignity, life, all of these will change under different occasions and circumstances.

Being given different meanings, right or wrong is not a question, because the existence of this world itself is the answer. Demons, humans, and gods are all the same. This is a cycle that no one can escape. Just like the world itself, birth,

Growing up, weakening, dying, and then being reborn from the ashes, over and over again, never ending.

Doomsday cultists preach that the world will one day be destroyed, and all obstacles are in vain. However, all lives are still living step by step, the demons are still keen on seduction and degradation, and humans continue to seek the glory and glory they desire in survival.

Glory, even goblins will not tremble and wait for death because of the ruthless repetitions of this world, but plan how to rob the next passing traveler.

So thousands of words finally converged into the simplest truth - no matter how the world changes, just concentrate on doing what you should do.

"Mr. Noble...?"

Sensing the change in Zhan's expression, Aina couldn't help but open her mouth, wanting to say something. But at this moment, suddenly, she saw the face of the half-elf ranger change slightly, and then she hurriedly raised her long bow and turned around.

He turned around and stared at the dark mountains with vigilance. At the same time, he raised the long bow in his hand and took aim. Then he listened carefully. After a while, Zhan saw Aina move her elf-like pointed ears.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief and put down the long bow in his hand again.

"What's wrong? Miss Aina?"

"...Maybe it's my imagination, Mr. Noble, did you hear anything just now?" Wucuo Novel Network does not skip words.

"Sounds? No, I didn't hear any sounds."

"Maybe I heard it wrong."

Hearing Zhan En's answer, Aina also breathed a sigh of relief, and her pointed ears drooped. Then when she looked at Zhan En again, her original enthusiastic smile returned to her face.

"Then it's time for the noble gentleman to rest. It's already late at night, and we will enter the Lost City tomorrow."

"Okay, I get it."

Hearing Aina's words, Zhan En nodded, then he stretched out his hand to push up his glasses and looked into the depths of the dark mountain forest. Then, Zhan En raised the corners of his mouth slightly and turned around with a weird smile. (
