Lord Demon is behind you

When I wake up, I don't know how long it will be.

The brave man stared at the top of his head in a daze at first, the dense branches and leaves covering the sun and the sky; the soft touch of the fallen leaves came from under his body.So he finally realized that he was still in the forest on the sixth floor.

What happened before suddenly came to mind, and he sat up in a jerk.

That guy... that guy fell into the hands of the enemy and was taken away, maybe his life would be in danger - now we have to save him...

"Your Excellency the Brave." A female voice came from beside him.It wasn't until this moment that the brave man realized that Wilka was not far from him, sitting quietly holding a bow and arrow, "Are you awake?"

"Miss Wilka..."

Seeing her again in a sober state, the brave man realized how wrong things were.

"What's going on with you now?"

Now the brave man's health has been restored to full, and the abnormal status has been completely cleared, obviously he was rescued by the elf in front of him.This Wilka shouldn't be an enemy, otherwise he wouldn't have rescued him.

However, another one did appear on the opposite side—Velka, who was a dark elf.Although character and basic ability are very different!But both skills and looks clearly point to this point.

The dark elf is obviously the boss of the sixth floor, which is also in line with the development of the situation.But what happened to the normal elf in front of him?

"Don't get up in a hurry," the elf said calmly, "Although I have treated your injuries and temporarily cleared your abnormal state, the exhausted physical strength cannot be replenished in a short time. Please rest for a while, and I will explain things to you in the meantime."

Her sitting posture was straight and dignified, but she had an extraordinarily resolute charm—like that dark elf, she was a mature woman, but if that side made people feel excited, this side felt trustworthy.

This calm attitude is exactly what the brave are familiar with.Wilka was originally the executioner who accompanied the elf queen. As an elf, she has lived for at least 400 years, and she is a very reliable character.

Although there was still a lot of anxiety in his heart, under the guidance of the other party, he calmed down unconsciously.

That's right, now that things have become like this, there is no point in worrying blindly now.Doing things directly and recklessly will only mess up the situation. If you want to save your companions, you must first figure out the basic situation.

"Ah, um," the brave man slowly relaxed his tense shoulders, "please tell me. What's going on here? You are...Miss Wilka, right?"

"Of course," the elf nodded seriously, "There is no need to doubt that I am the Verka who you met. But at the same time, the dark elf who attacked you earlier is also Verka, and there is nothing wrong with that."

Is it me on both sides?The brave man was surprised, but not surprised.

"To be precise, she and I were separated from my original self. At the moment of transformation into a witch, the part carrying the light attribute was separated to form the current me, and the rest The residue turned into that witch...

"Speaking of it, I am not very clear about the principle, but it did happen like this. I guess, it may be because our elves are born with a certain degree of light attributes, which cannot be integrated with the witch's nature. , was naturally extruded out of the body - but this part also has my characteristics, carrying a part of the soul, and finally condensed into the current individual."

"Is...is that so? This is really..." Amazing.

The brave felt very incredible.

There has never been such an example before.The witches I met before, no matter who they were, seemed to have lost important parts of their previous bodies when they transformed.Even a natural saint like Xuelu has become like that; Olga has always been gentle, but her personality has also undergone a huge change.

"I think so too." Mentioning this matter, the elf's face was no less perplexed than his, "but even though I can't figure out the reason, it's meaningless to dwell on the established facts. Maybe the Goddess of Life is protecting me because of it."

"Goddess of life, is it..."

I always felt it was a little too far-fetched.

The brave man knows that the elves' belief in the goddess is absolute, so it is not good to continue to spread on this point.

"What happened after that? Why did you appear on the sixth floor of the Demon King's City?"

"About this point," said the elf, slightly frowning her beautiful long eyebrows, "when I woke up, I was already staying not far from the Demon King's City for some reason. After a little understanding of the surrounding situation, I found that the ten The Witch has already taken over the Demon King's Castle, so I rushed here directly."

"I thought you would definitely come here, so I wanted to wait to meet you in the surrounding area. But then I found out that the monsters would not attack me, so I just took the risk and slipped into the city in advance to inquire about information..."

A look of sadness flashed across her face, "All my former companions have turned into witches. This is really sad. I don't know why they didn't attack me, but let me come and go in the Demon King's Castle. Until I get to this floor—"

"I met her on this level, which is another me."

"Did you... start fighting after that?"

"Well, I've been stuck on her level since then, repeating endless battles with her all day long."

A wry smile appeared on the elf's face.

"It's very subtle to say that he is now a witch with the blessing of the Demon Throne, and my level is several levels lower than before. She is much stronger than me. But she has no way to destroy me—it seems because we never A relationship split from a body, when she actively attacks me, she will also be damaged."

"She hates me very much, and I can't let her go, so I've stayed on the sixth floor to fight with her since then—"

"We've been fighting and arguing for a while, and we've probably figured out what happened before. The monsters along the way seem to have mistook me for her, so they won't attack me."

"...Well," the brave man didn't know what to say for a while, "anyway,... well, it's great that you survived. This is really rare luck. After that conversion ceremony..."

"Indeed, I feel very lucky myself."

After saying these words, the elf let out a long breath of relief.

"Master Brave, have you already learned about the ceremony? The reason why Her Royal Highness the Princess of the Kingdom prepared such things is actually..."

"It's because you're worried about me..."

"It's to prevent the demon king's backlash." The elf corrected.

"How should I put it, although Her Royal Highness said before that she was going to convert into a Demon Race, but it was not until this fate was approaching that I really realized what kind of existence the so-called Demon Race is. The existence of tolerance is the existence of abandoning the goddess of life. At the moment when the conversion ceremony was carried out, I really felt the indescribable horror..."

There was a little fear on her face: "But things have progressed to that point, and I can no longer stop if I want to quit. In short, thanks to the blessing of the goddess, I can now..."

"Speaking of which," Hearing her words, the brave man finally realized where the sense of disobedience lies, "Haven't you ever thought about going back to the Elf Forest to see what's going on?"

"Why should I go back?" the elf asked in surprise, "Will going back now help things?"

"……I understand."

Afterwards, the brave man also briefly explained his situation, and when he heard "the former demon king has surrendered himself as a companion", the elf obviously frowned.

"With all due respect, Your Excellency the Brave," she said bluntly, "I cannot trust this kind of demon."

"He's a companion now, and has saved me several times—"

"Who knows if he has some bad idea in private? Maybe he wants to take the opportunity to restore the restoration. In addition," the elf did not back down, "has he confessed to you? Your Excellency, it is possible that what he is spying on is yourself."

"..." The brave man couldn't help but laugh.The last possibility seemed irrelevant to him.

Anyway, it's... decided.

"I trust him." The brave man said clearly.

Almost recovered his physical strength, he stood up.

"Miss Wilka, for me, he is an important companion who has been through several life-and-death situations together. He is as trustworthy and trustworthy as you all. Therefore, I must go to save him... Yours choose?"

"You wake up!"

The elf turned pale with shock, "That was the former demon king who gathered everyone's strength and took so long to finally defeat it! Even if we only talk about recent events, the disaster of the ten witches this time is precisely because he contributed to it— —”

"..." The brave man looked at her silently.

"……sorry."

As one of the real instigators, Elf had to bow his head and apologize.

"However, he is a demon with impure motives and no credibility—"

"I think he can be trusted," repeated the hero. "This is my judgment. Miss Wilka, if you don't want to believe him...then...it's a pity."

The elf's originally healthy face turned pale.

Before this, she had never experienced such a situation where advice was not heeded—because she possessed a considerable degree of knowledge and wisdom, and the brave man had always respected her opinions during the previous adventures.

"My lord, is he more important to you than me?"

"No, you can't say that. But if I don't save him, he will probably die. Miss Wilka, you know that I can't let my companion be killed. Besides, Albert has done it several times before— —”

"What, what??"

The elf suddenly let out a scream and stepped back several steps in a row, pointing at him with trembling fingers.

"Brave, Your Excellency the Brave! You just... called him, that previous generation....What did you call him?!"

"……Hey?"

Even the brave were taken aback by her.

"What's wrong……?"

"What on earth did you call him!"

The previous calmness and reservedness were completely thrown aside, and Wilka was almost shouting while scratching her head.

"Ah, uh... that's the name? Albert... isn't that right?"

The brave man reflected carefully, making sure that he did not mistake his companion's name.

"It's only right that's the problem!!"

This time the elf took a few steps forward instead, grabbing the brave man's shoulder and shaking it vigorously.The elf was tall and tall, her line of sight was almost at the same level as the brave man's, plus the terrifying pressure contained in her sight... the brave man was suddenly even more at a loss.

"that……"

"When did this happen?"

"Aha?"

"I'm asking you, when did it develop to this point?" Wilka's attitude was serious, her face darkened.

"This step...which step is it referring to?"

The brave man had no idea what she was talking about.

"It's not that you don't know," the elf shook him frantically again, "For the high-level demons, the surname is an honor, but the first name is a taboo. Only the stronger and the other half of the marriage relationship You can only call him! When did you marry him? When exactly!"

"Knot……"

……what.

Under Wilka's crazily shaking, the brave man's entire face suddenly went numb.

"marry."

"Yeah, when... huh?"

Wilka finally sensed that something was wrong, and finally let go of her hands.

"Your Excellency the Brave, could it be you... Could it be you, don't you know?"

Suddenly, a terrible heat appeared on the face.The brave man wiped his face vigorously with his hand, and the temperature felt in his palm almost burned him.

How is this going……

"How, how could it be possible to know!"

he stammered.

"Huh?" The elf was also taken aback, "I remember that when I was camping a certain time ago, I told everyone about the knowledge about the demon race..."

——Who would remember that kind of thing?The brave man was not interested in the emotional and psychological knowledge of the demons at all before, and even if he heard it, he would definitely forget it after sleeping.

That guy... did it on purpose?It is impossible for the brave man to know these things, but it is impossible for him, as a demon, not to know.No wonder he was so happy to be called by his name, so he had been secretly thinking about something terrible!

Surprisingly, he wasn't very angry. ...Although there are still some.

Rather than anger, what fills my heart is more...

"Isn't it possible?" As expected of Verka, she immediately guessed the question, "Is it the previous demon king who asked you to call him that? And he didn't explain the meaning at all??"

Although this is not the case, the brave man has no time to rebut.

"That……"

After a moment of stiffness, two groups of raging anger lit up Wilka's eyes.

"That bastard demon, I'm going to kill him!!"
