Leopard of another world

"What happened to them?"

"I don't know." Lance frowned and sat at the table, turned his head and glanced at the dark elf Arno and the puppet Claude who were lying side by side on the bed and were still unconscious, and couldn't help sighing: "I found them in the bushes Yes, the injury was so serious that I almost thought it was impossible to save, and it was full of traces of dark magic erosion."

Did something happen to Deknis?Lance thought so, but didn't say it. He thought that the injuries of Arnold and Claude were the masterpieces of the church, but the magical properties of their scars completely overturned his guess, which is a bit unbelievable.

Evan seemed to want to say something, but in the end he just took a sip of water from his glass, moistened his throat and said loudly: "It's not too late to ask them when they wake up. Go back to sleep for a while. You didn't sleep all night to treat their wounds." Sleep, it's time to rest for a while, I will send someone to notify you when they wake up."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Lance stood up happily, cast a grateful glance at Evan, opened the curtain and walked out.

After Lance's footsteps gradually disappeared, Evan turned his attention back to the two unconscious people on the bed. He stood up and walked straight forward, frowning slightly, stretched out his hand and pressed Arnold's neck, exerting a little force, his face Watching the dark elf's face turning blue and struggling expressionlessly, Evan's cheeks began to twitch. He clenched his teeth tightly, but his hands trembled more and more violently. Finally, he took a sharp breath and took a step back, letting go. He stopped looking at the two people on the bed, strode to the window, closed his eyes and raised his head, with a sad look on his face.

"Look, Evan." Evan smiled lowly, with a simple sarcasm: "Now you will do the most shameless thing you once did. You have changed, Evan..."

Lance received the news that Claude woke up after waking up. Claude's injury was not as serious as that of the dark elf Arnold. It was expected that he would wake up first. Lance thought about it Think about it, let the soldiers take Claude to the reception room to be received by Paul, and hide in the compartment of the reception room.Although Claude is Arnold's puppet and cannot directly contact Samuel who is the demon king, he is not sure whether Arnold will receive the news from Claude as soon as Arnold wakes up, and send Lance's Reappearing and reporting directly to Samuel through the spiritual link, Lance had to be cautious, and he could not see any of his "old friends" in his true colors without guaranteeing safety.

In the reception room, Claude leaned weakly in the chair, his body was imprisoned by magic, and looked at Paul indifferently.

"name."

"..."

"age."

"..."

"gender."

"..."

"Hey, are you dumb, say something."

Claude looked coldly at Paul who curled his lips and looked dissatisfied, and finally opened his mouth: "Where is the elf who is with me?"

"Aha, Elf, how do I know, we only found you."

"What?!" Claude raised his head sharply, showing an anxious expression that could not be concealed. He struggled to stand up, and the magic confinement emitted circles of fluctuations, obviously suppressing the fiercely resisting Claude.

"Hey, don't move around." Seeing the burnt scars on Claude's body due to the suppression of magic, Paul was taken aback and said quickly, "He's lying on the bed well, he hasn't woken up yet, please be quiet first!"

Upon hearing the news of Arnold's safety, Claude returned to his previous dead face, sitting on a chair with a cold face, motionless, with a non-violent and non-cooperative attitude, which made Paul's teeth itch with hatred.

After Paul asked a few more questions without getting an answer, he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't answer honestly, I'll throw that elf out to fend for itself!"

"How dare you!" Claude finally responded.

"Hmph, why didn't I dare!" Paul was very proud: "Obey, listen to brother, and tell me honestly, who are you, where are you from, and why did you get hurt? Don't try to make up lies to fool me. The dark breath and black magic in you Burns don't lie."

Claude was silent for a while, and finally said in a low voice: "Claude, my name is from... Deknis, as for the injury, I was injured, there is nothing to say."

"Tsk, you still haven't said anything after going around for a long time. Hey, why did you appear in the central area, why don't you stay in your dark place?" Seeing that Claude wanted to speak, Paul quickly added: "I want to Well, let’s talk, if you still want your companion to lie down properly.”

Claude stared fiercely at Paul for a while, and finally lowered his head in discouragement: "I... I escaped with my companions, and I probably won't be able to go back."

Lance stood in the compartment, his heart moved, and he was very surprised. What happened to Deknis? Even the four subordinates who were second only to the Demon King began to flee. Could it be that the Demon Realm is not as strong and solid as it appears on the surface, and has already begun to escape? Is there a crisis? However, every war of Deknis in Eden has been carefully planned and aggressive, and it doesn't look like civil strife at all.

Taking a step forward quietly, Lance pressed the door panel with one hand and listened with bated breath.

"You can't go back, so what are you going to do, go to the Church of Light? I can guarantee that they will parade you in the streets and then grill you as squid skewers."

Claude shook his head blankly: "I... I don't know." He stared blankly at Paul for a while, his eyes gradually cleared up: "Who are you, you are definitely not from the church, don't you belong to any forces? , take us in, I promise, you will never regret it."

"Ah?!" Paul was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change of topic. He stared blankly at Claude, but the other party's expression gradually regained his confidence, and he talked calmly and clearly.

"We used to belong to the dark forces. Since we escaped, we will never go back. And you also know that the bright side will not accommodate us anyway, so the most suitable way is to accommodate the two of us. In terms of strength, I can guarantee We are not inferior to the strongest fighters here. It can be seen that there are not many of you. To put it bluntly, small fights will not make a big difference, so we will never covet you. On the contrary, we can help you, you know , we have much more information about darkness and light than you have.”

Claude froze Paul's relentless mind. He kept looking at the closed wooden door of the compartment, hoping that Lance would give some hints. He didn't know how to deal with it now. go down.

"Those of you who can manage things are behind that door." Claude has long noticed Paul's too obvious small movements. He smiled and raised his voice confidently to ensure that the people behind the door can hear : "Mr. behind the door, my friends and I will definitely bring you great benefits. Once a good opportunity is missed, it will never come again."

Lance sighed in his heart that Paul was really not suitable for routine work, while deliberately lowering his emphasis, he said hoarsely: "Why should I believe you, the guest from the dark, as far as I know, the movements of every member of the dark are monitored by the devil?" Firmly control, we don't need to take the risk of exposure to accept an unimportant alien like you."

"You don't have to worry about this." Claude's voice was full of confidence: "Only my friend can know my whereabouts, and my friend has long been out of the control of the devil. If we don't want to, the devil can't find us at all. And he will definitely not spend his mind on the two of us now, in fact, he is also struggling to find someone."

Lance's expression moved slightly, his eyes changed: "I want you to swear on your friend's life that you will not tell anyone about our whereabouts."

"...Okay." Claude hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I, Claude, swear on Arnold's life that I will never tell the whereabouts of everyone present and their companions. If you break the oath, your soul will be destroyed." The black flame burns, and there will be no rest."

Lance was finally relieved. Since Claude swore in Arnold's name, he would not violate his oath no matter what. After adjusting his facial expression, he opened the door and walked out calmly.

"Lance?!" Claude was completely shocked by the person who appeared in front of him. He opened his mouth wide and couldn't say anything.

"It's me." Lance smiled, then turned to Paul and said, "Go out first, I want to talk to this gentleman alone."

"... Be careful, call me if you need anything, and I will stay outside the door." Paul's eyes wandered between Claude and Lance for a while, and he nodded and left.

When Paul closed the door, the smile on Lance's face disappeared completely, and he looked at Claude with a light expression, showing no emotion: "Claude, since you made an oath, I believe you will not Tell Samuel where I am, so now, can you tell me what happened to you in Deknis."

Claude was only shocked for a moment before recovering. He looked at Lance with a complicated expression, and said slowly: "Actually, I don't know exactly what happened. I have been fighting on the front line. I took time to return to the Deknis, Master Arnold was not in the Temple of Demons at the time. I found him near the Great Abyss of Io. I happened to see His Majesty Samuel killing the master. I rushed to block his attack, and the master was already on the verge of death. , but Samuel didn't mean to let the master go, I had to take Master Arnold to escape to the Eden Realm, and defected privately... I probably won't be able to go back."

Lance looked at Claude, and from his eyes he was sure that he was not lying: "That means you don't know much, but how can you be sure that Samuel won't know me through you! As a subordinate, Arnold and Samuel are forced to establish a spiritual link, aren't they!"

Facing Lance's fierce questioning, Claude suddenly showed an extremely complicated and weird expression: "You probably don't know that after you disappeared, His Majesty Samuel was in a coma for a whole year because he fell into the pool and was seriously injured. He woke up After that, he immediately canceled the contract of the devil in the soul, and now he is only temporarily acting as the devil's position. He said that the position does not belong to him, and you will be unhappy if he sits there. He also told all his subordinates that only you are their only Allegiance to the master, so there is no contractual relationship between His Majesty Samuel and his subordinates, and you don't have to worry about your whereabouts being exposed when Master Arnold wakes up."

Lance did not expect to hear such an answer, he was really stunned, and then, an uncontrollable smile surged up, what is Samuel doing, redemption, he is so hypocritical after driving him away , isn't he tired?

Seeing the faint sarcasm on Lance's face, Claude lowered his eyes slightly, and said softly: "I don't know what's going on between you and His Majesty Samuel, but if you can, you can go to Dekness to see Look at His Majesty Samuel, although I don’t know him well, but I can see with my eyes that His Majesty Samuel’s state is very bad, very bad, both psychologically and physically.”

The author has something to say: Hey hey, I want to know how Samuel is doing, I'll be here soon...
