Never Thought You'd Be This Kind of Hero!

"—that demon is back?"

"—Yes, but you must hide the things in your house! Take away the shed skin too! That guy will grab everything!"

"—he hasn't been here for a year... I really didn't expect..."

"——, take the children away, don't scare the children!"

This is a conversation between two adult female blood-crested rattlesnakes on the grasslands south of Mundama City.

Yes, the demon they most feared that swept across the prairie is finally back!

The monsters and demi-humans in the main grassland felt the fear of being dominated by demons and the shame of losing their families because they couldn't keep their hometown!

I still remember that two years ago, that demon also came in autumn. He was young and looked like an ordinary human male. Where is the coyote?They were all beaten to the ground by this human being, and now they dare not attack human beings again.

But the monsters on the prairie are upright. Although they don't like the cruel and cunning prairie wolves, they will not laugh at them because of this - because this human is really terrible!He is not human at all!The place he passed was barren of grass, not only that, but it was also rumored that he had a big black bag with a devil's mouth painted on it, blue-faced fangs and two long horns, and every time this human devil got something, he put it into his bag Once released - the thing is gone.

And the original owner of that thing, that is, the poor monster, he will never see the wealth he managed to save again in his life. It may be a shiny gold coin, or it may be two beautiful small blue stones.

The female blood-crested rattlesnake even saw the human take away a small blue flower that a male blue bower bird was going to use for courtship. Afterwards, the blue bower bird couldn't catch up with a girl again... The cruelty of this method made her The blue bower bird's natural enemies are trembling!Can a person do such a thing? ! !

The entire grassland, woods and even small hills are alive, and all the monsters—mainly middle and high-level monsters, whose IQs are high and better at communicating with each other—are saying one thing: there is a human being, in his heart There lives the most terrifying demon, who does all kinds of evil, robs and robs, and always utters the "three lights" spell in his mouth. Only the Dark Lord can subdue a person like him.

High-level monsters have a long history. They know that there was a demon king in the world a long time ago, and the demon king has appeared again in the past few decades. The demon king is the most evil and dark existence in the world.

So the monsters in the woods and valleys on the grassland gave this human being a title: the best friend of the devil king.

_(:зゝ∠)_It seems that there is nothing wrong with it from a certain point of view.

……

The mornings in Montamar City are always very busy. The gates of the city opened just after dawn, and the caravan knights and commoners walked on different roads, but they still inevitably crowded together when they passed the gates.The sounds of livestock, the sound of people talking, occasionally a few dirty words, and occasionally whips can be heard.

This place is somewhat similar to Wasteland City, both are free and independent cities, but they are also backed by a powerful country. Wasteland City is the Kingdom of Snow Blade, while Mundama City is backed by the Golden Banner Empire.But the two cities look completely different. The walls of Wasteland City are quaint, and there is always a desolate and primitive feeling inside the city, while the walls of Montama City are smooth and flat white bricks, with huge The banner of Montamar City, the city is busy but orderly, especially on the main road where the north and south gates connect, the pedestrians are bustling, and the roads are lined with trees.

It's like the difference between a barren land and a civilized city.

Human trafficking of slaves in Wasteland City is very common, and it is placed together with the market for selling monsters, as if there is no difference between humans and monsters.However, there is no market for people to buy and sell in Montama City.The people here seem to be much more civilized.

"But the nobles still have slaves, and they still have the right to kill slaves. The army also has war slaves, and the red-light district... Well, in short, there are still human trafficking in places where children can't go. Lance, you have to be more careful here Be careful." Xu Jun asked Lance to get off the horse, and he helped the child in case he would fall. He has been so involved in the drama these days, he has already forgotten that the child is a frost dragon, and he always treats him like a baby.

Lance pursed his lips, very happy in his heart: "Thank you, Dad, I can come down by myself."

What a good boy!Xu Jun couldn't help rubbing the boy's white-haired head, and the hair was so fluffy that it was easy to touch~(≧▽≦)/~.

↑The above scene has been staged countless times in the past few days, and now the two onlookers, Mantou and Jess, are no strangers to it.

Because Xu Jun and Lance always play the role of fatherly kindness and filial piety, Jess and Mantou also showed affection and tacit understanding when the crowd watched, and now the two of them looked at each other: ah, here we go again.

Mantou spoke his horse language to Jess: "I am so happy to have children."

He looked at Lance obediently letting Xu Jun rub his hair: "That's great, I also want such an obedient child =v="

Jess: "== Then you have to pick up a poor little bastard who is sure to have no parents."

There is still one person, two human-shaped orcs (dragons can barely be regarded as orcs), and one real monster, so they waited in line obediently to enter the city.There were not many civilians and adventurers this morning, but the knights were entering the city in groups, probably because they returned from patrolling.Every autumn, the knights also go out of the city to patrol routinely, but it's just for show.Seeing that the ranks of civilian adventurers and merchants kept advancing, the knights and their horses could not squeeze through the city gate.

The civilian merchants secretly laughed, and Xu Jun heard someone saying: "So what about the knight master." "God won't let them enter the city."

Then the soldiers at the gate of the city in front asked to change the road, widen the road for the knights, narrow the road for the civilians, and move the small flag marking the road at the gate, so that the knights can quickly enter.

The common people present: "..."

At this time, more experienced old adventurers and old businessmen said: "Hey, sure enough, what do you look at? This is normal, understand?"

"They (pointing to the top) are in the same group as other gentlemen, what are we?"

Xu Jun held Lance's hand. The child's hand was icy cold. He was a frost dragon after all, and his blood seemed to be born with cold blood.Lance was very well-behaved, and he didn't speak in the crowd. Fortunately, he didn't speak. If he asked the question "Why did the knight master go first?" like other children, Xu Jun really didn't know how to answer it.

Yes, why did the knight lord go first?

Adults don't ask such questions, they just laugh, but at the same time they don't know how to answer them.

Don't even know how to explain this to the kids.

So Xu Jun said something else to distract Lance and Mantou, who was also young at the same age: "In front of you is Mengdama City. Do you know what is there in Mengdama City? Here is the exit from the Golden Flag Empire." The best candy that came here, you children love it the most."

Lance was really happy, and the mantou licked his lips: "Is there any golden fructose?"

For Lance, the best sweets he has ever eaten are golden fructose.

After all, the Frost Dragon is a carnivorous monster, and it is enough to eat only meat. They are usually lazy. Living in extremely cold areas, they usually eat very little, and there are only a dozen kinds of prey.There are no plants to try. The only plants where they live are seaweeds on the bottom of the sea. They are inedible and disgusting.

The vegetable soup that Xu Jun gave Lance last time was also the second time in his life that he ate "plants". The first time he ate it was because he was sick and was fed the herbal medicine by the patriarch. It was bitter and fishy, ​​and Lance almost vomited .

But the vegetable soup that Xu Jun gave him was delicious!Fresh and fragrant!Lance likes to pick and eat the cabbage inside!Xu Jun also made a barbecue for him. Green peppers and onions were sandwiched between the sizzling pieces of meat, and the meat was not greasy at all. He could eat two whole bucks by himself!

——Of course, if he didn't use Xu Jun's cooking method, he could eat twenty stags without hiccups.

——In the past few days, the bucks, wild goats and wild rabbits in the south of Montama City have also been unlucky.

Lance thought of a lot of delicious food from the golden fructose, and a different look appeared on his blank face: "Is there anything more delicious than golden fructose?"

Xu Jun looked at him, thinking of his friends in the orphanage at that time.At that time, they were still fighting a lot, and the relationship was not good. He would come and grab me if I had a candy, but now I know that it was all because I couldn't eat it.They dare not let the dean buy snacks for them, after all, they are not "mom and dad".

When I looked at Lance again, there was a kindness on his face: "Well, it's much more delicious than golden fructose, I'll buy it for you in the city."

Mantou kicked him lightly, and he hurriedly added: "Buy for Mantou too."

So only poor Jess was forgotten again →_→

But the middle-aged businessman next to him interrupted: "Don't think about it, buddy, there are no candy sellers in the city anymore. The old John who made this got black disease and died. It's a mess now."

Xu Jun frowned: "...what is the black disease?"

The fat businessman in front of him also turned around when he heard the gossip, and asked, wiping his sweat with a small handkerchief, "Is this true? Old John is dead? Isn't he only fifty years old?"

The businessman who spoke at the beginning was a thin man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, standing side by side with the fat man who was wiping his sweat with a small handkerchief: "That's not true, he is very young, he got a disease and said it will be gone, you have heard of that black disease without?"

"What should I do? He's dead. Who will harvest my sugar cane?"

They wanted to say more, but when they reached the city gate, the guards glared at each other, and the two businessmen turned into quails, shrugging their shoulders and putting their arms around each other, not daring to speak.Xu Junzheng felt that the little guards guarding the city looked very strange, all of them were thin and lonely, and they looked less than twenty.

These little guards looked listless, not as slick as the veteran guards in the past.

All of this, plus the "black disease" that the merchants called, made Xu Jun feel very ominous, and he finally entered the city.

Montamar City was originally a very prosperous and orderly city. Although there were also poor areas, they were well managed. People here are used to wearing fine linen clothes. The clothes of young people are especially beautiful, and they are all dyed in various colors. , Standing on the street and looking at it is a beautiful scenery.The children were running in the streets and alleys, all wearing bright little clothes, laughing and making noise.

But now, as far as the eye can see, half of the colors in the city have turned gray and black. People don't speak loudly, and occasionally a few children pass by on the street with their heads down. Black and white gray.White flower baskets are hung on the roofs of many families, which is a unique way of mourning here.

Just passing through the crowded city gate, Xu Jun was squeezed by people and couldn't see the scene inside. His height of 1.7 meters [-] is not tall in this world.Now that he walked into the city, he still had a smile on his face, but the smile in his eyes was gone.

how so--? ! ! !

Half of the people in Montamar City are actually having funerals? !

Is it because of that "black disease"?or something else? ! What exactly is the "black disease" caused by?Don't say it's caused by the change of seasons, people in this world are in good shape!

Jess looked up at the sky, sniffed lightly and frowned slightly: "There is something in the cloud."

Strange to say, the sun was out in the morning and it made people uncomfortable, but now it's cloudy and it's about to rain.

Xu Jun is a brave man, not a magician. He is very sensitive to murderous intent but less sensitive to elements. However, he noticed Jess' expression and knew that this matter should be serious: "Can you tell what it is?"

Jess shook his head: "Hiding in the clouds, I can only feel the darkness at the moment...Xu Jun, how did you feel when you were fighting the Dark Lord?"

Xu Jun was startled, but how could Montama City hoard so many dark elements?This is just an ordinary human city!

He thought for a while, but he still needed to figure out what the thing in the cloud that Jess said was: "Let's go to the herbal medicine store first."

Ever since he "killed" the Demon King, the dark element seems to have been abnormal.The trees of life of the Moonlight Elf and the Holy Light Elf have been infested, and the concentration of dark elements in the air is indeed higher than before, but if it is only higher, Xu Jun doesn't care too much. Out of the abyss, the dark elements and dark energy in this world have always been abnormal.

—What is hidden in the cloud?

——And why is it hiding in the cloud?

...If the Demon King is still there, he still has someone to ask_(:зゝ∠)_
