The devil is back.
However, unlike the terrifying war fifteen years ago, which was so massive that the demon king ruled the entire world in just a few months, this time the demon king army's offensive is not so sharp, and it has only engulfed human beings in the past year. Almost one-fifth of the territory.
Although it was a disaster for the first few countries, the people in the rear did not have a deep understanding of it... After all, it has been fifteen years, and even the painful pain has begun to fade away, let alone in this productivity. In the slightly stronger world of the Middle Ages, the lifespan of human beings was not long. Fifteen years was equivalent to a quarter of the life of an ordinary person.
El Sodega is a small town near the eastern edge of the Frosthawk Empire. Because of its unique geographical location bordering the Dark Forest, which is rich in eastern products, this town can be considered prosperous.
However, the Demon King's army invaded from the west, and the flames of war were still far away from this small town, so the residents of this somewhat remote town still maintained their original rhythm of life.
"Irene, don't run around, I promised to go back after buying wheat flour."
An elegant blond youth with a bookish look called out to the eleven or twelve-year-old girl who was watching the troubadour perform a puppet show from the fountain in the central square of the town.
But the girl seemed fascinated by the performance, and didn't notice that her father was calling her.
The helpless young man could only hold the wheat flour and walked towards the central square.
After getting close to a certain extent, he realized that the puppet show performed by the troubadour was the scene where the brave and his party challenged the devil fifteen years ago.
For most troubadours, this can already be regarded as a repertoire, and it has almost the same meaning as the ancient storyteller of the Celestial Dynasty when he said The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"Evil Demon King, your tyranny has come to an end! If you are willing to surrender, I can spare your life!"
"Don't think about it, my rule will not be shaken! How could my ambition be terminated because of you humans!"
"Since you are so stubborn and stubborn, don't blame me for ending your fantasy with the sword in my hand!"
While speaking his lines vividly, the troubadour dexterously performed wonderful fights with marionettes.
Seeing this scene, the blond young man couldn't help muttering softly.
"... That guy didn't hold back stubbornly. After that Your Excellency led us into the Demon King's City, she surrendered readily, okay?"
"Dad, what did you say?"
Finally regaining consciousness, the little girl who found her father beside her asked curiously.
"I said, it's very late now, if you don't obediently go back with me, your mother will definitely be angry?"
The blond young man said to the little girl with a pleasant face.
Thinking of the horror of her mother when she was angry, the little girl couldn't help shivering.
After looking at the puppet reluctantly, she obediently ran to her father, planning to go home with her father.
"Daddy, can we get some candy back home?"
"It's not good because it will cause tooth decay. Didn't your mother tell you that before you came out?"
"What about the cheese powder? I want to eat my mom's pizza!"
"I just ate it yesterday, so I guess it won't work."
"How about a deluxe raspberry strawberry syrup snow-topped sundae?"
"The requirements are getting higher and higher?!"
The father and daughter walked towards the outskirts of town while having some silly conversations.
But halfway through, the blond youth suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He cast his puzzled eyes on the three people not far away. They were a strange combination of a boy, two girls, and a cat in clothes.
Of course, it wasn't the three people themselves that surprised him. After all, as a magical world, there are many subhuman races in this world, and it is normal for some strange people to appear occasionally.
What puzzled the young man was that he seemed to vaguely sense a familiar wave in these three people—a wave that was neither magic nor fighting spirit.
Just like the power used by your Excellency fifteen years ago.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Finn Watkins?" the leading boy asked with some uncertainty.
"No, brother, my father's name is Von Gilquet."
Before the young man could answer, the little girl next to him said, "Finn Watkins is not the third prince of the Frosthawk Empire in the legend. A hero who saved the world?"
"That's right, you probably have the wrong person."
Interrupted by his daughter, the blond youth answered with a smile.
After living a peaceful life for fifteen years, he doesn't want his daily life to be disturbed.
What's more, the purpose of these people's visit is not clear at present, it is better not to reveal their identities at will.
The three of them looked at each other, seeming unsure.
However, just when the blond youth thought he had fooled himself, the cat lying on the young man's shoulder suddenly spoke.
"Finn, it seems that you are doing well... Gilquitt, tsk tsk, could it be that you ended up with that guy... no, since this little girl calls you father, could it be that..."
"This voice..."
Finn was taken aback, with an expression of disbelief on his face.
Even after fifteen years of absence, the memories of that time are still vivid in my mind, and the teachings that the brave man taught me are still in my ears.
Now that the voice reappeared, he naturally heard it all at once.
"Could it be...is that your Excellency?"
"Hey, do you still remember my voice? That's right, I was the hero's familiar!"
Xu Shenxing said solemnly and winked at the other party.
"Familiar...is that so..."
Although he didn't know why Xu Shen acted to conceal his identity, as a companion who had taken risks with him, Finn quickly understood what he meant: "Your Excellency, what is the purpose of coming here this time?"
"That's right, I really want to ask you something," Xu Shenxing saw that the other party didn't expose himself, but followed his own words, and then said, "I want to ask you about the demon king's army. What's going on with the comeback? If it's convenient, can I pay my respects to Mrs. Alina Gilquet?"
"I understand, please be sure to honor your visit to the humble house."
Finn nodded, and then turned his gaze to the other three: "Then these few..."
"They are the current heroes, it's okay to let them go together, I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
Xu Shenxing patted his chest with a meat ball to assure him.
"Since it is Your Excellency who is providing the guarantee, you can rest assured. Please come with me."
As he spoke, he pulled the little girl who hadn't figured out what happened, and walked towards his home.
