"Then keep a cold face."

"Haven't you heard the saying that a girl who loves to laugh must have good luck? So..."

"—I've heard of it, but I haven't seen anyone who is unlucky and smiles all day long."

"...that's right."

An Luo, who was said to be speechless, simply stopped talking.

Indeed, not so much that girls who love to laugh are not bad luck, but girls who are not bad luck love to laugh... After all, only those who are lucky can laugh, and those who are unlucky can laugh when they don't even have time to cry?Not everyone has a strong Ah Q spirit.

This discovery made him wonder whether he should treat Irena better, and whether he should change his habit of teasing her whenever he finds an opportunity.

.

evening.

The two of them arrived in another new country as planned. In the distance, they could see the prismatic castle, which is a bastion with high construction costs.

And the hexagram-shaped fortress city in front of him is an entire country in this world. It is about the size of a town, but the fortifications are quite neat. At least the neat hexagram shape of the castle makes An Luo even I couldn't help but want to take out my phone to take a picture.

but......

They had just arrived at the edge of the country, but they first discovered that something seemed very wrong.

The sky above the huge bastion was filled with black smoke, and from time to time, ashes from burning things fell from the sky. The temperature of the weather seemed to be a bit colder due to the influence of the black smoke filling the entire sky.

Of course, maybe this is not necessarily a cold country... After all, countries in this world are very close to each other, but the temperature difference can be huge.

There are no guards guarding the gate of the bastion that is completely open, and through the gate and entering the city, the desolation everywhere can be seen, as the literal meaning is, it is already a city of death.

The creations spawned by the battlefield dominated by old-fashioned artillery in the old era are very grand and magnificent from a distance, but before the large-caliber blooming artillery shells enter the battle, it can be said that it is quite troublesome to deal with this kind of bastion. Surround yourself first.

But such a beautiful and highly defensive bastion fell, and the city wall remained unscathed...

All the buildings that can be seen in front of us have lost their prototypes. There are countless collapsed, broken, and broken buildings. The most complete buildings are also in a half-destroyed state. Buildings without roofs, buildings with only skeletons left, and completely collapsed buildings A huge pile of rubble.

In the ruins of the city, all kinds of dilapidated buildings can be said to be everywhere. At the same time, black smoke is constantly rising from all over the city, sending the ashes of various things into the sky.

Not to mention the people that should be everywhere on the ground, not even a mouse can be found in the city, and there are also no birds and insects in the sky, only ash that keeps falling.

Irena couldn't help frowning at this scene, glanced at An Luo and couldn't help but ask, "Have you heard that this country is at war?"

"No...but it shouldn't be a war."

"why?"

"It's simple."

An Luo, who landed on the ground, glanced at the strange atmosphere that was drifting. The street was so quiet that there was no sound except the cold wind and them. There should also be blood-stained roads, saying: "If it was a war, there should be a lot of corpses here, or human remains, it is impossible to be so clean... Well, the word clean may be used incorrectly, but probably That's what I mean."

"Maybe it's been taken away?"

"No, didn't you notice? Black smoke is rising from all areas of the city. If it is a war, it is obviously in progress, at least it is still fighting before dawn, and it is fighting within the entire city. It was created in a short period of time. The corpses should be piled up like a mountain, no matter what, the speed of the corpse collection team is too fast."

"Do you really know anything about war... have you been a soldier before? Have you been in a war?"

"No, I've only been to the battlefield a few times." An Luo shook his head slowly, and suggested: "Compared to this, this city should be attacked by powerful ogre monsters. If there is no accident, the other party should eat while attacking. So apart from some corpses in the room, there is nothing but blood in other places, so...if you don’t want to ask for trouble, it’s better for us to get out of here as soon as possible.”

"This... what you said really makes sense..."

I couldn't help admiring that An Luo thought of so much at once, but even if her mouth was torn apart, Irena couldn't possibly say these things out.

After worrying for a while, she really wanted to leave, but she noticed the royal palace standing in the center of the city not far away. She couldn't help but have a different idea, and at the same time thought of another possibility, and frowned again to show annoyance. expression:

"Now that the whole city is deserted and so quiet, those monsters should have left, and there are plains outside without shelter. If we leave here far away, we will be spotted by those monsters, right?"

"...This is also a possibility, but at that time it will be up to you to protect me."

"Well, I will leave you behind gratefully and buy me time to escape."

"Hey! Isn't this too much anyway?"

"Isn't that how you treat me too much?" The vengeful girl gave him a displeased look, but quickly turned away and walked in front, saying without looking back:

"... If the opponent is a monster that can destroy a country, even if I am a witch, I probably won't be the opponent, but for a little delay, let's say you still owe me twenty gold coins. I will do it, of course, if there is danger, I will definitely run faster than you, I have to say that."

"Hey~ So you'll help me after all~" An Luo smiled and hurried to catch up, poked Irena's side face, and said jokingly: "Why do you want to add a setting where you run first if you are in danger?" Sure, it would be cuter to be honest."

"I'm cute enough, no matter how cute the world is, it will trigger an all-out war because of me! And I only care about the twenty gold coins you owe me! But I'm back on it now! When the monster comes, I will tie you up and feed the monster to delay me time!"

Irena turned her face away again and let go of her harsh words, but her face turned a little red, and she didn't know if it was from anger or something...but she thought she must be angry, that's why her cheeks became hot .

...

...

Since there are plains outside the bastion, and what Irena said is indeed very possible.

Therefore, in order to avoid the tragedy of being seen by the monsters who had already left the city from a distance on the open plain, and then let the other party chase them naturally, the two could only choose to spend the night in the bastion.

After all, even if you set off to the nearest town now, even if you don’t get lost, you still have to wait until midnight to get there. It would be even worse if you encounter monsters at night. It’s better to stay here overnight and start tomorrow morning depending on the situation.

and......

When the two came to the only intact palace gate in the city, they couldn't help but glanced at each other.

"...Is there no one else in this city besides us?" Irena asked knowingly, knowing that she was thinking carefully... and An Luo, who had the same thoughts himself, nodded: "Well, not anymore."

"So... can we do it?"

"Don't use lines like you are doing something bad. Now these are unowned things. We just want to prevent them from being dusty, to keep the currency in circulation, to promote the world economy, and to promote the growth of GDP. Those who go to find treasure in a deserted palace."

"...Although I don't quite understand it, I think what you said makes sense, um! Let's go!"

Encouraged by her like-minded companions, Irena completely let go of her little psychological burden, and happily ran forward to push with An Luo, the castle gate that could be used as a city gate.

However... because An Luo couldn't push it because of her lack of effort, she simply switched to fire and burned the wooden door, which was strong on the outside but dry on the inside.

"Excuse me~"

With the joy of treasure hunting, Irena whispered something, and Irena took the lead and walked to the interior, planning to pick out valuable things before An Luo.

An Luo, who didn't care much about the front, followed in a leisurely manner. Before looking around, he just looked up and saw three rather large life-size paintings hanging directly above the castle hall that existed as a royal palace.

At the top of the center is a middle-aged man wearing a crown and holding a sharp sword. At first glance, he looks like a king. At the bottom left is a middle-aged woman who is also wearing a crown and wearing a foreign dress. She is obviously a queen. The young woman in a red dress... Needless to say, she should be a princess.

"...Only one child, probably only one daughter, right? But as a king, this person has only one daughter, and he can't even make a successor son. Isn't his fertility too bad?"

An Luo muttered to himself that he had doubts about the king's ability, but he stopped entangled in this matter under Irena's speechless gaze turning back, and when he was about to look for something valuable here...he First aware of a line of sight above, subconsciously turned his head and looked over.

"——?!" The woman who was about to speak in the corridor on the second floor of the castle was taken aback by his sudden movement, but she quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "... Who are you?"

"Ah, a passing traveler, how about you?"

"I am Mira Rose, the princess of this country."

"Hey~ Princess?"

While responding casually, he didn't care about the identity of the other princess at all, and looked up and down at the woman who claimed to be a princess.

I have to say that this woman is indeed exactly like the princess in the portrait...or it should be the princess herself, and even her clothes are exactly the same as in the portrait.

She wore a gemstone necklace around her neck and a blood-colored dress. She had long fluffy black hair with wavy curls, whether it was natural or permed, and her face was stern and obviously wary of him.

An Luo, who didn't care much about the guard, felt that something was wrong with the other party under the guidance of his intuition, so he subconsciously used insight on the only woman in the city.

【Name: Mira Rose

Race: human

Features: A prince and witch who cursed his father at the cost of memory, made him kill, devour the people, destroy the country, kill the mother, slaughter the clan, treason, and destroy the country.

Suggestion: It is no different from a normal witch, and can easily kill the opponent with a sneak attack. 】

"—Fuck! Is it so exaggerated?!"

An Luo, who claimed to be elegant and well-informed, but still had never seen such a situation, couldn't hold back his subconscious swearing.

"What, what's the matter??" Irena, who heard him swearing for the first time, was taken aback and took out her wand reflexively.

The princess Mira Rossa above was similarly startled, and took out her wand because of Irena's defensive action.

Seeing that the two sides were at war, An Luo immediately smiled and waved his hands and said, "It's all right, it's just that I was frightened when I saw a beautiful woman suddenly."

"Seeing that the beauty is frightened?"

"Then aren't you frightened every day?"

Both women showed puzzled expressions, but... Irena seemed to be boasting again inadvertently.

.........

.......

...

(PS: I feel that there are indeed too many silver-haired women, so even if I personally feel that Irena has silver hair, I still change the description to gray hair for the sake of distinction...Of course, gray and silver are very similar.)

Chapter 10 Tragedy ends with killing

In the ruined city, where ashes were everywhere, as the only intact building, although the castle was full of dust, the furnishings were the same as before the incident.

Although the amnesiac princess felt that An Luo was not a decent person, she still allowed An Luo and Irena to enter here, and made hot black tea for them.

Perhaps it was because she had lost her memory for the seventh day, but it was the first time she saw someone other than herself, so she didn't have too much vigilance, or had confidence in her own strength, so she directly put her amnesia and knew who she was. The reason for the princess told the two passing travelers without any concealment.

"...Well, do you believe me?"

An Luo looked at the letter from Mira Rose, and was basically sure about the contents of the letter. Either she wrote it to herself or she asked someone to write it.

The letter that was placed next to Mira Rosey's bed earlier not only wrote Mira Rosey's name, but also told her that the castle was very safe, and that the one who destroyed the city was a monster named Jabaliya. .

The monster will wake up with the sunset and destroy the country at sunrise, with the purpose of slaughtering the country.

"Every night it searches for the last person in the country, which is...."

"--I."

While An Luo was reading the letter, Mira Rose put her hand on her chest and interjected at the right time.

"Hey...is that so?"

What is the meaning of this self-directed and self-acted plot?What did the king do to be assigned the role of killing and devouring all the subjects by the princess?
