Chapter 238 Climbing the Peak
Ling Tu, who was defeated by the Demon King, was a little disappointed and left the banquet alone. Others welcomed the two of them. They gathered around the two and liked to listen to their travel stories. They were full of curiosity about the outside world.
There was also a part like Fina who was eager to understand the magic outside, while some girls gathered around Reina, envying her for having such nice clothes.
During the banquet, the clan leader summoned several elders and held a secret meeting.
The people gathered in the patriarch's house were all elderly people. When they knew the purpose of the two people's visit, they all fell silent.
"Is that little girl really..."
"It's so similar, almost exactly the same."
"It must be a coincidence that she didn't survive."
"But her hair is the same as that of the devil! There is no such coincidence in the world."
"Yes! She must be a descendant of the devil! I can't let the blood of our people be contaminated!"
The Demon King at the banquet gently put down his wine glass. He heard the word "Devil" and pricked up his ears. Even though the surroundings were very noisy, he could still hear distant sounds.
The clan leader patted his thigh and said loudly: "No matter what, I can't let my child bear the sins of my parents! If half of her body is of our blood, then she is one of our clansmen!"
The elders were silent again, some shook their heads, some covered their foreheads, and most supported the two men being driven away.
"Since they passed the test, we can't drive them away." The patriarch said, he sighed and said: "No matter what, we must give her a chance..."
"Then let her go up the mountain. Then we will know if she is."
At this time, an elder suggested. The other elders heard this and expressed their agreement. None of the clan leaders frowned.
Early the next morning, they took the two demon kings to the mountain. The clan leader pointed to the highest peak and said: "There is a kind of ice flower growing on the top of the mountain. If you pluck it, we will know that she is not one of our clansmen."
The Demon King raised his head and looked at the top, thinking that this was not just a matter of two seconds.
However, just as he was about to take action, the clan leader suddenly stopped him.
"She can only be allowed to go up the mountain alone. This is our rule."
Hearing this, the Demon King frowned and looked at Reina. She had never climbed such a high mountain before. The air above was thin and it would be dangerous if she was not careful.
"Master, let me go."
Reina said, the Demon King nodded, and then the clan leader told her the way up the mountain, gave her some fur clothes, and a stone with ancient magic, which can keep people warm.
After some instructions from her master, Reina went up the mountain alone. As her figure disappeared from sight, the surrounding Gaoshan tribe members also left one after another.
"Does it really matter if I don't go with you?"
At this time, Mr. Ball at the feet of the Demon King asked.
The Demon King shook his head, then he raised his hand, and a white ball of light appeared in his hand.
The way up the mountain was difficult and very cold, and the cold wind was blowing hard, making people breathless. But after Reina learned the magic of keeping warm in the deep sea, she was no longer afraid of the cold.
The problem now was that the air was too thin. After climbing for a while, she was out of breath from exhaustion. Even if she used strengthening magic, she could not climb to the top of the mountain in one go. On the contrary, the top of the mountain was so far away.
She was a little worried that if she took too long, she would never see the master again when she went back. She didn't know, but now she just wanted to get the so-called ice flower quickly.
Just when she was reluctantly trying to move forward, she suddenly saw a light coming from behind her. In the clouds and fog, that light dispelled the fear in Reina's heart.
Her intuition told her that it was the master.
The master is waiting for her!
So she breathed a sigh of relief, rested for a while, and then continued to move forward after regaining some strength.
Unknowingly, the sky darkened. After climbing to a high place, she could see the sun going down. The dusk light made the homeless people feel like going home. Reina, who was alone on the mountain, felt very sad.
Uneasy, she lowered her head and looked up the mountain. The light was still there, and the master was still waiting for her at the bottom of the mountain.
She gritted her teeth and made a difficult decision to spend the night in the mountains.
…
There was some light snowfall at night, and the surrounding area was even colder. No animals would go out to look for food at this time.
However, there is a person standing there just in the snow. He is like a shadow, but there is a bright light in front of him. His light is not selfless, it all shines on that high mountain, and his
The surroundings are still dark.
At this moment, a figure walked towards him. It was a middle-aged man. He might have seen him at the banquet, but the Demon King had no impression of him at all.
"She won't come back so soon."
The other party suddenly shouted. He was holding a torch and had a thick piece of clothing draped on his left hand.
The Demon King turned his head, looked at him, and said, "I know."
The other party smiled and shook his head, and walked over slowly. When he was only about ten meters away from the Demon King, he found that there was no snow on the ground beside the Demon King, and green plants were growing. Suddenly he raised his head and revealed
An expression of respect.
"Are you the messenger of spring?"
The other party suddenly said in admiration.
The Demon King shook his head and said nothing.
"My name is Yilin, and I live in the north. If you don't mind, would you like to have a drink?"
The man who called himself Yilin took out a bottle of wine from under his clothes. The devil wanted to find an excuse to send him away, but he sat down on his own and took out two small wine glasses as if by magic.
"Someone told me today that a baby girl has come back, so I came to see her."
He poured two glasses of wine. After hearing this, the Demon King gave up the idea and sat down. The light ball floated in the air and slowly fell into Mr. Ball's hand.
The other party put the wine glass in front of the devil. The devil picked up the wine glass without politeness and took a sip. His mouth suddenly felt like it was on fire. He didn't like the taste.
Yilin raised his head and drank the glass of wine, making a sound of ah~.
The two of them were silent for a while, and Yilin's face immediately turned red after drinking.
He is about thirty years old, and he is relatively thin among the Gaoshan people.
"Fifteen years ago, my sister disappeared."
He suddenly spoke, keeping his head lowered and looking at the empty wine glass on the ground.
Fifteen years ago? That was about the same age as Reina. Maybe this person was Rena's relative?
The Demon King looked at the other person. Apart from a pair of blue eyes, he and Reina had nothing in common.
"How did she disappear?"
he asked.
