Leith Village

As autumn deepens, the crops in the fields have reached harvest season.

The men and women in the village are all busy. Perhaps due to the protection of the Tree of Wisdom, this year's crops are growing exceptionally well, which brings bright smiles to everyone's faces.

After being busy for a while, Gus felt his body tense up. He looked around and looked at the small woods not far away. He hesitated briefly and walked in.

"I drank a little too much water today."

After walking to a place where no one could see him, Gus narrowed his eyes comfortably at a tree that was not too big.

"call"

After solving the problem, I quickly looked around to make sure no one was there, and then I felt relieved.

But just as he was about to turn around and go back, something strange caught his eye.

After struggling for a long time between going back honestly and curiosity, curiosity finally prevailed.

Gus crouched and moved behind a bush.

At the same time, he also took out the sickle stuck in his waist and licked his lips.

Beasts are everywhere, and it is obvious that there cannot be any huge beasts in this small forest. Moreover, he is also a member of the village guard, and his skills are definitely not bad.

If you really encounter some wild beast, you might be able to sell it at a good price to support your family.

Gus's eyes showed a bit of fire, and the bushes were gently opened.

Looking at the position that caught his attention, Gus' pupils narrowed.

A mark larger than his head appeared on the spot. The mark was a little charred, as if it had been burned by something.

Looking along the mark into the distance, an identical mark appeared not far away.

And there seemed to be traces of fire burning on that mark.

Gus's heart beat violently and uncontrollably. He covered his mouth to prevent himself from screaming, and he didn't even dare to take a breath.

This kind of mark is a bit strange, but it looks like a footprint.

What this means does not need to be reminded at all.

The calmness he had cultivated over the years as a guard allowed him to barely maintain his composure, but his constantly swaying legs proved his fear.

retreat, retreat, retreat

Gus stepped back in small steps. He regretted that he had gone so impulsively, but at the same time he was somewhat grateful.

Fortunately, he found out.

What we have to do now is to leave here quietly, and then notify the knights in the city to handle it.

Gus calculated calmly. At this moment, he felt like a warrior who went deep into the enemy's country and secretly returned home carrying important intelligence.

"Be gentle, step a little softer"

Gus comforted himself, trying to calm his breathing, make his steps gentle, and make his movements agile.

soon, soon

Looking at the wheat fields outside the grove, Gus not only did not become careless, but became more cautious. His sharp eyes like an eagle kept scanning the surroundings. He hunched over and lowered himself even lower. In order to hide himself, Gus even used his speed. All a bit slower.

He has heard many legendary stories. Many brave men failed because they relaxed their vigilance at the moment when they were about to succeed.

But he believed that Tagus would never become one of them.

However, it's a little strange, why is it so hot?

Gus frowned but didn't think much about it.

Behind him, a tall figure with some red lines in the darkness followed Gus step by step in a playful manner.

Something is constantly seeping into the red lines of the body.

"Snapped"

A drop of golden red liquid dripped.

A small pit appeared where the liquid dripped, and around the pit, some withered leaves were lit with flames.

When Gus finally showed some joy in his eyes, the tall figure's speed suddenly changed, leaving only a scorched black mark.

"Recently, there have been several cases of believers disappearing."

Elinor reported to Alvin with a gloomy face.

Alvin rubbed his temples.

"Do those gangsters still dare to hang out nearby?

Have you found any clues? "

I originally thought that those people had disappeared nearby, at least no similar situation was found around Yarrow Town.

But in just a few days, someone disappeared again.

Ivan was filled with anger, but there was no good way to stop it.

The Wisdom Guardian Knights have all been dispatched. Now all the members of the Knights have learned Armed Haki. Even the warrior who couldn't stand up before was healed by Aiwen who consumed a lot of faith power. He can Said to be comparable to thirty black iron warriors, this kind of troops may only be available in those cities.

At the same time, he also constantly warned believers to be careful and pay attention to strengthening patrols.

Moreover, he did not hear any prayers from believers for help.

Such powerful force cannot stop him, what else can he do?

After hearing Alvin's question, Elinor's face became heavier.

"Your Highness, this time, it may not be those people who did it."

"kindness"

Alvin looked at Elinor suspiciously, and there was an imperceptible hint of fear in Elinor's eyes.

"We found some evidence of the existence of demons at the scene."

"what"

Alvin was so shocked that he almost jumped up without tensing up.

"demon"

Alvin looked at Elinor with doubts in his eyes.

"At first we just thought it was the same situation as before and didn't think about it in this direction, but we found similar situations near where several believers disappeared."

Elinor's face was serious.

"There are footprints on the ground that are larger than a human head. The key is that the footprints are all traces of burnt ashes, and traces of burning were also found on some branches.

The strangest thing is that there are obviously many dead leaves on the ground, but these flames do not ignite the fire, as if there is some kind of force restricting them.

This is very abnormal. Through all the above situations, we have to think of such legendary things as demons. "

"Devil"

Alvin fell into thought.

The continent of Helantia has long had legends of demons. It is said that this demon crawling out of hell wreaked havoc on the continent 3500 years ago, causing countless tragedies. It was a tragic era, but it was also a glorious one. era.

Countless brave men stood up in that era, leading people to fight against the demons and fight for a living space. They fought bloody battles for decades until the terrible demons were driven out.

That era was called the Age of Divine Glory

Because the brave men who stood at the top of that era eventually became gods, opened up their own divine kingdoms, and stood among the stars.

But in the final analysis, these are just legends, and it is impossible to verify whether they are true or not.

But the legend of the devil endures and can still be heard today.

Could it be possible that a demon really appeared?
