Encyclopedia of Feanor Continent

Facing the mage's usual obscenity and teasing, Palos couldn't help laughing: "Don't call me His Majesty the Demon King, this identity is not what I want."

"Why do you hate this title so much? Is it because it reminds you of the stupid things you did?" Evandel's fingers changed into pinches, not allowing the other party to turn his head away from his gaze, "There is no point in escaping, you have to forever Remember what bastard things you did with your callousness and indifference to the suffering of strangers, as long as you live, understand?"

"...Well." The mage's words made Palos feel a little ashamed of his evasion. He looked at Avondel firmly and said, "I will never become the same Idaris in the past, I swear."

Evandel doesn't really believe in verbal promises, but he didn't get entangled in this issue. Anyway, both of them still have time to slowly witness this oath. He said these things now to torture Palos. A more gentle and ambiguous tone: "Okay, let's not talk about that, we will not be able to see each other for a while, we should cherish the time now, right?"

As he spoke, his fingers moved down Palos' tense Adam's apple, and cut open the hem of the demon-style frock coat. The loose clothes, which had no buttons and were only fastened by the belt, were easily separated from the left and right, revealing a section of fair skin. chest.

The complexion of the demons is relatively fair, and this body has been lying in a dark place for more than 20 years. Although it has grown some muscles, the skin is still somewhat pale, and it will appear when he is excited or Turns a delicious pink when shy.

Exactly the same body as the Templar in the past.

Palos is shy now, the bloodshot part under the skin spreads from the root of the ear, and spreads over the cheeks and neck at a speed visible to the naked eye. Being the king of the demons has not changed his shy character at all. Embarrassed, he suggested, "You haven't had dinner yet, or else..."

"I can eat you first, and then have dinner." Evandel said with a wicked smile, "Dinner won't run away, but the interest will slip away."

Palos was not really resisting, and was quickly pushed down by Evandel on the bed in cooperation. He really wanted to indulge in physical desires like this, and not think about the upcoming parting, even though he knew that the parting was only temporary. Still feeling sad and upset.

But he couldn't leave everything behind and follow Evandel. Ever since he was reborn as Idarius, heavy responsibilities have been on his shoulders, and he has no right to be willful.

Palos didn't see Evandel off when he set off on the journey the next day. Although he was tossing him until midnight last night, Palos got up early and left. Maybe he had too many things to do as the devil. Maybe just didn't want to watch him go.

Evandel didn't care. He rode his horse and trotted briskly on the path in the wilderness. Actually, it should be autumn now, but the weather was still relatively hot, and the surroundings were no longer as scorched and lifeless as when the light was just restored. Weeds have grown up, the ground is covered with patches of mottled green, some small saplings have begun to sprout, and even some birds are sitting on the newly grown twigs and chirping.

Life in the wild has survived these dark days with amazing tenacity, and the land is slowly recovering, all of which puts Avondel in good spirits.

Moon Creek Forest suffered a particularly severe blow during the long dark night. Many old trees that had lived for hundreds of thousands of years died. The elves could only cut down decayed trees and plant mushrooms like humans to survive this period. Many villages built on trees had to be relocated before the prey could survive.

To make matters worse, there happened to be a rift exit leading to the Titan World in the Moon Creek Forest. The high temperature transmitted from the moment the Titan World burned caused a forest fire to break out around the rift, although the wizards of the elves extinguished it in time. A fire broke out, but a large number of unknown mixed-blood demons fled to the depths of the forest through the chaos, and they have not been wiped out so far.

All these were told by Inelia's letter to Evandel. The mage didn't know how the elf princess persuaded her stubborn father. There were more, and the emissaries of the elves ran to the new capital of the demons every three days, obviously wanting to establish a good relationship with these two foreign forces.

Previously, Inelia overdrawn her magic power and vitality to save many animals and plants that would have been extinct, and she paid a heavy price for this. When Evandel saw her again, she found that the elf princess was originally like satin. The long black hair turned gray and white, and his expression was still a little haggard, even after so long, he couldn't recover.

After the initial surprise, Evandel greeted her as usual: "Long time no see, Inelia."

The elf princess sighed: "Although I know you are not interested in me, I still don't want you to see me like this."

Evandel said gently: "You don't need to care about this at all. This hair color will not damage your beauty at all, and it will make you less girlish and innocent, and more stable and wise. The style that the future queen of the elves should have."

Inelia finally had a smile on her face: "You really know how to comfort people."

Evandel shook his head: "This is not consolation. I just did what I can, and the sacrifice you made is truly moving. If the position is reversed, I wonder if I can't do what you are."

Inelia said humbly: "I just had no other options."

Evandel asked: "Many of the species you have preserved have been completely extinct elsewhere. Would you like to share your precious seedlings with other races and nations?"

In fact, Evandel had thought of many words of consolation before he came, but Inelia didn't give him a chance to use his eloquence at all: "That's exactly what I planned, and I also planned to use this opportunity to let the elves once again Start trade with the outside world, including the gods and demons—but there is one thing I can't figure out, Evandel, you told me about the enmity between you and the demons, I always thought you would find a chance Clean them up hard, but the outside world has rumors that you are very close to the king of the demon clan."

Evandel smiled and said, "Did you still say that I had an affair with him?"

Inelia covered her mouth and chuckled: "Yes, but we didn't take it seriously."

She looked at Evandel's expression, and her tone became a little uncertain: "This can't be true, right?"

"It's true." Evandel admitted.

"Ah... this is really..." Inelia covered her mouth again, this time because of surprise, "If I remember correctly, from when he was brought here as a hostage to when you left with him, all of you We've known each other for such a short time..."

"I have known him for a long time. Do you still remember the Templar Palos who came to Silver Brook City with me last time?"

"Remember, I heard that he killed the demon leader Barutan, and he died from his injuries. He is a great hero."

"He didn't actually die. There's a long story behind it. Let me tell you from the beginning..."

-

Avondel left Silver Brook City earlier than he expected, and after more than ten days, he was on his way back.

In the evening, he camped at a water source. Several half-blood demons found this lonely young man. He thought it would be a good dinner, but the mage quickly cursed him with a weak curse and restored Natalie. solved.

Even though he only used one spell, Evandel still felt tired--not only Inelia was suffering from the aftereffects of overcasting spells, but in order to open the portal connecting the two worlds, he also exhausted all the energy from the "Nightmare" The mana absorbed from the "Lord", and the subsequent cross-boundary teleportation made him exhausted, and he has not recovered to the best state so far.

Although he was very tired, he still had to make his own fire, pitch the tent, clean the pot and cook himself dinner.Evandel has been traveling alone for so many years, of course he can do everything, but when his teammates are around, he can justifiably be lazy and leave these things to others.

Only after meeting his teammates did he realize how hard and boring traveling alone is.

Evandel finally decided to call his teammates again. Arkai and Phils are not a problem. As long as they say hello, they will go with the mage without saying a word. The problem is Paros. There must be many demons on the other side. Things need to be guided and coordinated by Palos, who is the devil. Palos is not the kind of person who will leave his responsibilities and walk away.

But Evandel didn't want to stay in the palace of the Demon Race all the time. Being a researcher who stayed at home was never the life he wanted.

Maybe it can be like this, let Palos stay in the new capital of the demons as his demon king, and Evandel takes the other two out for adventure.Every once in a while, he would go back to the mage tower prepared by Palos for him to rest for a while, study the new things discovered on the road, and also study the ancient books brought by the demons-Palos threw such a heavy bait Come out, it is impossible to say that you are not moved.Wait until you are bored, and then continue on to the next journey.

Although this will definitely restrict his itinerary, what can he do? It's rare for him to find someone who doesn't want to let go no matter what, and he has to make some compromises for this.

When the mage was planning where to go next, Natalie, who was on high alert, alerted him.

Evandel was surprised to see the heavily armed Palos riding a tall black horse, hurriedly appearing within the illuminated range of the campfire. When he saw Evandel, he was obviously relieved, jumped off the horse three steps and Tsukuru caught up in two steps, and hugged Avandel in his arms.

Anyway, this time he still remembered that he was wearing a breastplate, and he didn't tighten the mage too hard.

Evandel didn't know whether he should be shocked or pleasantly surprised: "...Could it be that you came to pick me up on purpose, isn't it a little far away?"

"No, I, I want to see you so much, so I came to you." Palos let go of him a little awkwardly and said, "During the few days when you were away, I often couldn't sleep, so I just put those things that need me to do I have done everything in advance, and I have explained everything I can think of, and I want to travel around with you in the future, is that okay?"

Evandel smiled: "Master Demon King is planning to elope with me?"

Palos corrected sternly: "It's not elopement. You know that the demons have been ruled by the council of elders for decades. The council has led them through various difficulties and crises. It doesn't matter whether I, the demon king, is in charge. It's me, memory It is incomplete, and I am helpless about the specific internal affairs of the demons. I am also very immature. I need more experience, so I discussed with other people and decided to follow you around, just like before, okay? ?”

I don't know why, Palos' tone is still a little unreasonable, as if Evandel will reject him as soon as he speaks.

Seeing his cautious look, the mage felt bad again, and looked him up and down pretending to be picky: "But it seems that it will be a lot of trouble to take a demon on the road, especially if you are so eye-catching and dressed so gorgeously, The corners are so obvious."

Palos tried harder to sell himself: "But taking me can also save you a lot of things. I can help you carry luggage, pitch tents, collect firewood, watch the night, pack up manuscripts, and I can also help you scare away those unscrupulous people. Bad guys with good intentions, save you from having to use magic to teach them a lesson every time, you just hired a mercenary for no money, just take care of the food."

The smile on the mage's face deepened: "It sounds like a good deal. If there is an additional bed warming service, I can consider it."

Palos' face turned red again, and he nodded in embarrassment: "...All right."

So Evandel said happily: "Then what are you waiting for, come here quickly."

This doomsday crisis and the series of disasters that followed - large-scale famine, extinction of creatures, invasion of hybrid demons, wars caused by power turmoil, etc., were collectively called the third catastrophe by later people.

The bards of later ages continued to sing of the bravery and sacrifice, the meanness and the treachery that were performed during that time, and in the end, like all those epic endings, the heroes' efforts were rewarded and the sun reappeared in the sky , and this sun will continue to exist for 2 years.

That is to say, after 2 years, there will still be another crisis of "every night is coming", but that is something that future generations need to worry about.

By that time, whether it is the long-lived Avandell or the group of demons and gods who came to Feanor's world, they have all been reduced to dust, and there may be a fourth or fifth catastrophe, even if Evan Del turned himself into a lich and Palos into his death knight, and he might not be able to escape.

But so what?Just like the epitaph that Avandell saw in his ancestor's tomb-everything is born and must die, and the world must have an end.

At least until that doomed ending, they still have a long, long way to go.
