After sealing the devil

After a lapse of a month, the brave man finally saw his companion A and the princess again.The two are riding on horses, keeping a certain distance, smiling and talking to each other.

The princess hasn't changed much, her long brown hair is loosely tied behind her back, which is one of the most common styles for aristocratic girls in the imperial capital, but it's a little less lively and a little more dignified.

...Companion B's usual hairstyle is actually the same as the princess's, probably a little more girly, but because the ancestral blonde hair is as light as silver, it looks a little more mysterious and cold.

Companion A completely changed his style.In the past, in order to look close to the people, he wore relatively simple and plain clothes, with lion-like blond hair domineering and domineering, with a bright and warm smile, like a big boy next door.Now he has gained a firm foothold by relying on the achievements of sealing the Demon King. For his future development, the princess specially customized a complete set of exquisite costumes for him.

The speech venue is on the hillside of the mountain backed by Wusheng Forest, a pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings, and the scenery is excellent.

After Companion B asked everyone to arrange their seats, Companion A, dressed in a riding suit with gold patterns on a white background, rode a white horse and led a group of cavalry in white helmets and white armors slowly through the specially opened road in the middle.The princess rode a horse and followed closely to one side, her drooping eyes slowly looked over all the nobles with different expressions below.

Silently pretending to be the brave man hiding on the side with the pavilion master: such a steep mountain, it is amazing to be able to drive a group of people out on horseback.Don't accidentally roll down.

Companion A got off his horse, smiled reassuringly at the people around him, and nodded: "I sincerely know that everyone is anxious, but the situation is not clear yet, so it is inconvenient to go into the forest immediately. However, it is not too late. I invite you to come and discuss today, and work together to rescue People's tricks."

The princess glanced at companion A.

The brave man noticed a trace of guilt from the calm and composed face of his companion A.

...The princess taught me the lines wrong.

Although Companion A's speech was a bit confusing, no one listened carefully, and those who heard it were sensible and kept silent, so he obtrusively confused him.

He patted the white horse next to him in a concealed manner, and his heart collapsed.He has been miserable this month, and he has memorized more things by rote than he has memorized in the past ten years.Now I still have to wrestle with these nobles, so that they have money and power to contribute.This time, those who lost their children were all relatively low-powered ones. The real dignitaries and their families were all in good health.

Companion A was still trying to collect information from various families and sort out the information, and someone couldn't sit still, and said angrily: "It's not your family who lost the child, so you just dawdle! Aren't you a brave man! Even the devil is sealed, Why don't you dare to go to Wusheng Forest!"

Companion A patiently explained: "If there are so many children in the Wusheng Forest, let alone Wusheng Forest is so big, how long would I have to search alone? My life, but I have to be responsible for my companions who live and die with me."

The man sneered: "Then you evade and evade like this, what is the result of evading? You even sealed the devil, and you can't protect your companions well?"

The demon king who was listening by the side: "..." Why do you always bring me up, when did I become the standard for measuring ability?

Companion A took a deep breath: "I don't know how long we will stay in the non-growth forest. If the time is too long, or we... go away forever, in order to avoid more children being harmed, we should first find out The common characteristics of these children are to estimate the possible victims next, and to take some protective measures for them."

"You have thought carefully about those dandies who play and waste their lives all day long." Another middle-aged man said next to him, "Have you thought about our children who may have been hurt? At this moment, they might Just suffering! If she... I'd rather she die..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" The woman with red eyes gently tugged at the middle-aged man's robe, and she covered her face and wept softly.

Companion A looked embarrassed, and after a while, smiled bitterly: "I..."

"You are still laughing, you can still laugh..." Another woman cried bitterly, losing all her noble manners that she was barely supporting.

Immediately afterwards, a child who was tightly held by his parents looked at his companion A and said, "Brother Brave, will you find my sister? She promised me a surprise at my birthday party, but she disappeared... ..."

Companion A stood bewildered and could only comfort him with gentle words.

Before the Demon King was sealed, everyone knew that the brave man's mission was to seal the Demon King.They were grateful for being rescued by the brave, but they would also blame the devil if they were not rescued, and expected the brave to seal the devil quickly.

Then the devil was sealed, and the brave came back alive. As the only brave who came back alive for hundreds of years, he was admired, loved, and considered omnipotent.His mission is no longer to seal the devil, but to save the common people.

The princess sighed deeply and raised her hand slightly.

The surrounding guards unanimously drew their swords out of their sheaths, pointing their swords at the crowd who were still making noise.

The scene was silent for a moment.

Before inciting a bigger backlash, the princess calmly said: "Weakness is not an excuse for the weak."

"Everyone can go to the Wusheng Forest to find your beloved son. If you feel sorry for your own life and don't want to die, please respect other lives as well."

The princess put down her hand and signaled the guards to put their swords back into their sheaths.Her tone is gentle, but her words are sharp: "Everyone here is well-clothed, high-ranking officials and well-paid, and suddenly lost a beloved son. It is inevitable that you will be sad and unable to control your emotions. It is reasonable. However, the suffering of the world is not yours alone. There are those who are poor and struggling to survive. The brave man is willing to save the world from danger, but...you are just one of the crowd, what priority do you have? It's just that the father Wang Nian suddenly encountered this difficulty after you all worked hard for the country. He really couldn't bear it. Only then can the brave be persuaded to come."

"Are you persecuting the brave man in such a way that you want him to abandon you? The brave man sealed the Demon King, but you don't have it; the brave man is willing to venture into the forest of lifelessness, but you dare not. What right do you have, and what face do you have to complain?"

At this moment, Companion A caught the princess' eyes.

He calmed down and said solemnly: "I will do my best to save as much as I can. It's just that everyone is so stubborn that it will only delay the matter. It's better to calm down and discuss it. I promise, I will set off immediately after the discussion and go into the forest to save people. "

After such a stretch, everyone's nerves were no longer so tense, and finally they began to discuss in low tones.

The pavilion master suddenly stood up.

The brave man reacted immediately and got up to stop him, but the hood and cloak he was wearing to cover him suddenly tightened, and at the same time, countless thin threads emerged, binding the brave man to the seat.

The brave man didn't notice for a while, and was almost bound.In a hurry, he ignored the skin cut by the sharp thin thread, and forcibly broke free.Blood spilled all over the place.

The brave man was just a little late, the pavilion master had already seized the opportunity, and said with a smile, "What if this brave man is a fake?"

With such a sentence, everyone's attention was drawn to the pavilion master.

Companion A took a step back in shock from the pavilion master's sudden questioning, opened his mouth, and said dryly, "...what?"

Suddenly, the princess frowned slightly, but looked in the direction of companion B.

Companion B glanced at the pavilion master in horror, then looked at the princess in a daze: I didn't know it would happen...

The pavilion master continued: "You have absolutely no ability to save people. What qualifications do you have to make a guarantee? Huh?"

The atmosphere that had just eased up immediately became tense.
