Sky blue [green blue]

【4--】

In the end, he still remembered to try not to attract attention, and the devil finally chose to land first in the woods outside the destination city.

Putting away the bat wings on the back and the magic horns on the head, the demon king Xiaolu turned around leisurely, and entered the role of [Noble Master] without hindrance.

However, his "bodyguard" still hangs his head at this time, and has not seen any movement for a long time.

The surroundings in the forest are so quiet, only the rustling of the branches and leaves being carried by the gust of wind.

When the gust of wind passed, the Demon King greeted him briskly, as if nothing had happened, despite his puzzled face: "Xiaolan."

no respond.

"Little Blue."

The knight ignored him.

"Little Blue."

The knight still ignored him.

As if he understood something from the silence, the Demon King finally put away that habitual smile.He stared at the other party steadily for several seconds, and then he walked in one direction alone.

From the corner of the eye, she quietly followed the movement, noticing where the other party was going, Xiao Lan, who forced her indifference, couldn't help it anymore, "...where are you going?"

"Into the city."

"Going wrong." The knight walked straight in the right direction, and the knight tried his best not to lift his eyes, and just said hello with the sound of footsteps one after another, "Let's go."

Very cold.

It's completely different from the usual Chaomao Tiaojiao who is teased about his strength intentionally or unintentionally...

——Xiaolan, it’s true, I feel hurt.

A trace of displeasure quickly passed through Xiaolu's heart.

Noticing this strangeness, His Majesty the Demon King tilted his head incredulously, and let out a soft voice: "Huh?"

Noticing that the other party seemed to have something to say, Xiaolan opened her mouth subconsciously, and paused for a second while suppressing something, before asking in a business-like indifferent manner: "What's wrong?"

On the other side, she also calmly arranged her expression—when Xiaolu looked at Xiaolan again, she already had the usual smile on her face: "No. I just think human beings are really cruel."

Xiaolan suddenly became dumb.

At the same time, inexplicable grievances came for no reason.

--enough……

Realizing the struggle in her heart because of what she witnessed just now and also because of the other party, Xiaolan lowered her head and turned her face away, and silently clenched her fists.

——That is the devil of all evil!

The scene fell into silence again.

Until a transmitted light beam appeared out of thin air, instantly attracting the attention of the only two beings present.

"Brave? Hello." After completing the basic politeness, the demon king Xiaolu quickly glanced at the knight who seemed unwilling to speak, and then asked with a smile without any abnormality, "What do you want to do here this time?"

"You are here to find clues to the protagonist team." Yiwei said confidently, "Then, the hero who is the protagonist—of course I have to come and see."

"That's it." Xiaolu sighed lightly, the meaning was unclear.

But since everyone has come, Yiwei temporarily joins the two-person team of the devil and the knight and enters the city together.

Although he was disturbed, the sudden appearance of the brave man did effectively ease the delicate atmosphere between the devil and the knight.

***********

Probably because it was a time of war, most of the personnel turned into combat power and sent to the war zone, and the non-combat power part also hid as much as possible indoors for safety, so there were almost no people on the streets in the city at this time.

Desolate as a dead city.

Although there is still a barrier from what happened just now, Xiaolan still remembers Xiaolu's road-crazy attributes, and often thinks she is hiding a little behind her, and sees the other party following behind her for about three steps as usual Only then did he relieve the tension on his shoulders a little, and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Naturally, this little action of the knight cannot be hidden from the eyes of the Demon King.

After the other party received confirmation for the seventh time and withdrew his sneaky glance, the Demon King tacitly did not poke it, but the smile on his face was finally filled with joy again.

Under the guidance of the new plot, Xiaolan's pathfinding AI played a reliable role, leading the three of them to find the target person in front of a dark and dilapidated hut with relative ease.

It was an old man with a hunched figure, and his dirty face looked at the vicissitudes of life.

Just as she was about to go forward to start a dialogue with that downcast NPC, Xiao Lan, who just took a step, suddenly realized that her whole body was stuck, as if her soul had been shaken abruptly.

Also shaken, there was the momentary picture in front of me, and the sound effect of electric current flashed by my ears.It was as if some information was unlocked in my mind, and the images and sounds gradually recovered, swaying and becoming more and more vivid.

——This is probably the trigger loading of the plot...

Xiaolan thought in a daze, until she was pulled back from her thoughts by a greeting.

"Little Blue."

The NPC named [Madman] spoke.

This greeting made the Demon King who was following behind the knight raise his eyebrows secretly, because of the rational tone that was a bit out of character.

However, that lack of popularity seems to be just an illusion.When it came to the next sentence, the tone of the NPC's speech was that of an old man's twilight, as if it was expected after waiting for a long time-"You are here."

"Master Sage...it really is you..."

Xiaolan respectfully addressed the desolate old man in front of her, and her voice was slightly choked with emotion, almost to the point of mixed feelings.

——But didn't Xiaolan say before that she didn't have much impression of this NPC?

Without disturbing the interaction of the two characters in front, the Demon King just watched with a half-smile, keeping his expression on.

Also paying attention to the interaction between the NPC and Xiaolan, the brave man grabbed his chin and commented: "It feels like this NPC...is not as smart as the two of you."

Although he didn't agree with the hero's speculation in his heart, the Demon King didn't say it out loud.

"A sage..." What came out was just a thoughtless exclamation.

"Huh?" Yiwei looked suspiciously.

"Obviously one of the most powerful and wisest existences among human beings, but ended up in such a miserable end. Why?" Facing the gaze of the brave man above, Xiaolu's words were so sincere that she asked, "Could it be that human beings like to persecute more than others?" Your own powerful existence?"

"Because there is no balance between good and evil." The brave man's tone was taken for granted, and then he seemed to think of something, and a smile of unknown meaning flashed across his face, "Human beings are so superficial."

The Demon King withdrew the corner of his eyes, pretending not to notice the thorns from that smile.

On the other side, Xiaolan also ended her greetings and reminiscing with the other party, and was looking for an opportunity to cut into her own intentions.

"Xiaolan." The voice stopped him first.

"I'm here." Faced with an old man who suddenly turned expressionless, a sense of disobedience followed, making Xiaolan frown suspiciously.

The NPC suddenly grabbed a beam of light from the void with one hand, and handed it to Xiaolan.

In the hands of the NPC, the light stretched itself into the shape of a certain object, and then turned into strands, converging from the surroundings of the object to the hilt of the sword—it was a sapphire.

After the light faded away, a long sword was held by an NPC, and the sapphire embedded in the hilt shone faintly.

This scene made Xiaolan stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to realize: "This... is for me?"

The NPC nodded.

Xiaolan took the weapon in a daze, and opened the attached equipment panel to check it.

"Sapphire Holy Sword..." Staring at the words on the panel in disbelief, Xiao Lan almost lost her voice.

This name immediately disintegrated the mentality of the brave one-dimensional outsider—he rushed to Xiaolan and yelled: "You mean the legendary [Sword of Glory]? The one from the Branhill Knights Association One?! Isn’t that a hidden weapon that will be unlocked for the protagonist only when the final boss hits the protagonist’s own blood? Haha!?”

In the end, the boss-the demon king Xiaolu also leaned over and read the content on the panel curiously, "Hey - it's a weapon of the same level as my wand..."

Xiaolu's voice was light and light, but Xiaolan's voice exploded in an instant, "Is it the same level as the emerald wand!?"

Regarding Demon King Xiaolu’s emerald wand, Xiaolan, who used the game’s strategy on the Internet before, saw the introduction: It’s an epic-level weapon whose offensive and defensive enchantment values ​​are so good that people doubt life, or scold the game’s planner——fortunately It is exclusive to the Demon King and cannot be equipped by other characters.

Now I actually got this heaven-defying weapon of the same level as a magic wand...

"Wait, didn't the top-level equipment be taken away by the devil when you lost your way?" Xiao Lan had a deep and painful understanding of this, after all, the other party was lost and obsessed with taking away the top-level equipment and advanced spells that should have been given to her. They were all taken away, which is very resentful.

"That's just the situation in the Demon King's City." Although it is the villain boss's position, Xiaolu doesn't seem to mind this situation, and has no consciousness of being the final boss. "But I am also very surprised. This probably shows that, How many surprises are there in the hidden map? Great, Xiaolan."

Xiaolan glanced at Xiaolu, sincerely and apprehensively, the bewilderment in her eyes seemed to materialize at any time.

"Why can I get this legendary holy sword?" Holding the weapon tremblingly, Xiao Lan cast a questioning look at the hero in name, "It stands to reason that I shouldn't be able to equip it...Huh?"

Who knew that before she finished speaking, Xiao Lan noticed that this weapon had already been loaded on her equipment bar.

Seeing this scene as well, Yiwei almost collapsed and shouted with his head in his arms: "That should be a weapon that only [braves] can equip!?"

"Eh?" Frightened by the brave man's yell, Xiao Lan immediately disarmed her, and subconsciously sent the sword with both hands, "Then I'll give it to you."

Yiwei accepted the sword as a matter of course, but—"Huh? Not enough level, can't equip it?"

"Are there level restrictions?" Xiaolan was at a loss.

"No, if there is a level limit, then you won't be able to equip it!" The brave handed the sword back to Xiaolan's hand almost forcefully, "Try again!"

Xiao Lan nodded stiffly, and took the weapon with strange origins as she said, "Can it be equipped...Huh?"

Yiwei hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"Can't be traded anymore?" Talking uncertainly, Xiao Lan quickly clicked on her status bar, and then her eyes widened completely in surprise, "Binded?! Why, how did it suddenly become like this..."

Staring blankly at Xiaolan who was completely flustered for a few seconds, Yiwei suddenly felt blessed, clapped his palm loudly and shouted: "I know! This game finally has a place where the plot can't be connected, and finally a bug , finally knelt down under this genius plaid shirt hahaha!"

Listening to this frantic conversation, the Demon King wisely didn't join in the excitement, but quietly suppressed his usual gentle smile, quietly becoming thoughtful.
