Anna lay limply on the bed, and couldn't help but think that she had really sacrificed too much for the human world.
Knowing the consequences she would face if she did so, she still had to do it, and the result was obviously more terrifying than she originally imagined.
After finally regaining her breath, Anna turned to look at Rotgar. He recovered earlier than she did. He was half-sitting and leaning on the bed. The quilt only covered his abdomen, revealing his muscles with beautiful lines and good feel. .
He lowered his head and looked at Anna. Although his face had the aftertaste of satiety, his eyes were a little cold.
Anna propped up her upper body, and the quilt slipped from her back, revealing some traces of indulgence.
She moved over and hugged Rotgar's waist, and whispered: "You have already promised me, you can't go back on it."
She knew that what she had just done was really despicable, but her little conspiracy was also fair. Rotgar could see through it at a glance. If he didn't want to agree, he could just ignore her words and go straight to her. The person she flirted with was also Can you push him away? It can't be pushed away anyway.
Rotgar looked down at Anna. Her long reddish-brown hair was spread on her snow-white back, and she was extremely beautiful.
He stroked her long hair, his expression a little complicated.
Although he was really enjoying himself just now, Anna's little tricks made him very unhappy.
Anna didn't hear Rotgar's answer and looked up at him.
Rotgar grabbed her shoulders, lifted her up, and held her in his arms.
"I'll take you to see the sun and stars after they rise," Rotgar said, and immediately added, "Just for a look."
Anna was still a little worried that Rotgar would regret it. After hearing this, she immediately hugged him tightly and said, "Thank you! I will only watch it!" Only this time.
"Sleep." Rotgar lay down with Anna in his arms. Listening to the excitement in Anna's voice, his mood improved a lot.
With him watching, nothing can go wrong.
The small stage goal was achieved, and Anna closed her eyes with satisfaction. After just a few seconds, she opened her eyes again, met Rotgar's gaze, smiled happily, leaned up and kissed him on the lips, whispering. Said: "Good night."
She is really happy now. As long as there is the possibility of communication and dialogue, many problems will be solved.
Lotgar's last bit of dissatisfaction was gone.
He has been with Anna for so long, and he has long known what kind of person she is. Just like she said, if something happens to the human world, she is afraid that she will not be happy in the future.
He wanted to keep her as a person and also wanted to keep her smile.
The human world should be fine now, so she can go and see if she wants. He felt that the problem in the human world might not be that serious, and if it was really going to be destroyed, he could bring her family to the demon world. At least with her family, she can always slowly become happy again.
Rotgar hugged Anna tightly, no matter what she said, he would not let her take the risk of entering that demon eye.
Anna fell asleep peacefully, and when she woke up she found that she was still in Lotgar's arms. She asked drowsily: "Have the sun and stars risen?"
Rotgar responded: "Yes."
Anna struggled to sit up, and she woke up after a few seconds.
She looked at Rotgar and confirmed: "After I finish eating, shall we go to the human world?"
Although Rotgar looked reluctant, he still responded: "Okay."
Ana immediately felt relieved, quickly got dressed, and ran downstairs to get herself something to eat.
After Anna had eaten breakfast, Rotgar also repaired the teleportation array that he had destroyed before.
Anna was held by Rotgar, the teleportation array flashed with light, and the two appeared in the forest.
Rotgar looked in a certain direction, where there were some mages from the human world. The teleportation array in his castle is located outside Blue Stone City. The location every time he comes out is very random. When he returns, as long as he is within the line of life and death, he can return to his teleportation array through special positioning. In the past, the human world mage relied on the ruby he had given to accurately locate the location.
There were Human World mages patrolling and watching nearby, which did not surprise Lotgar. If he used a sneak attack, he could easily kill those mages, but thinking about what he had promised Anna, he did not make any extra trouble, and just carried her and flew into the line of life and death.
Within the line of life and death, Rotgar's number of visits is limited. His purpose every time he comes to the human world is very clear, which is to collect ancient classics and find a way to break the curse of the abyss. Naturally, he will not come to an uninhabited place like the line between life and death.
After flying in at full speed for a while, he suddenly had a vague feeling, which was very similar to the abyss. However, he had never felt like this in the past few times he had been there. He frowned and flew in that direction.
There are dense forests within the line of life and death, and there are often hills, rivers, and valleys blocking the road, but Rotgar is flying in the air, and these terrains cannot stop their progress. If you are traveling on the ground, such terrain will seriously affect your speed and you will have to spend more time.
When he saw the devil's eyes from a distance, Lotgar found a tree to stop.
Where the Devil's Eye is, a blank area without vegetation has been sorted out around it. There is a human camp a little further away. There are several five-star mages and more low-level mages there at the moment.
The first time Anna saw those demonic eyes, she couldn't look away.
Similar appearance to Abyss, similar attraction... This devil eye is indeed closely related to Abyss!
Compared with the abyss of the demon world, this devil's eye is still small, but it seems to be about ten meters in diameter.
Anna touched Rotgar's arm and whispered when he looked over: "It's really like an abyss."
Rotgar nodded, frowned and looked in that direction again. He didn't expect that the demon eyes were so similar to the abyss.
Suddenly, Rotgar hugged Anna tightly and flew straight up.
The crown of the tree where they were originally had been cut off entirely.
Amidst the loud noise and smoke as the tree crown fell to the ground, someone yelled angrily: "Devil, do you still dare to come here and want to sneak attack?"
Rotgar glanced around and saw that there were only two five-star mages here. It would take at least ten seconds to reach them from further away. He had enough time to do something before leaving.
If Anna wasn't in his arms and he didn't promise her not to kill anyone.
Rotgar held Anna in his arms, pulled her up, and said to her, "I've shown it to you, can you go back?"
Anna didn't want to leave so quickly, she said she wanted to take a look, but she really only took a look! But now they have been discovered by the five-star mages, and they have no choice but to leave, so she had no choice but to say: "Go back."
Rotgar once again raised his body to avoid the attack from the five-star mage, unfolded the teleportation array in mid-air, and entered with Anna in his arms.
Back in the gray demon world, Anna was a little depressed.
She originally wanted to see the expansion of the devil's eyes, but she was forced to come back after just one glance. She only looked at the static appearance and had no idea how fast the devil's eyes were expanding.
Rotgar glanced at Anna's frustrated look and warned: "I have fulfilled my promise, don't play such tricks again."
Anna looked at him without promising anything. Why not play tricks if you can achieve your goals
Seeing her reaction, Rotgar didn't know what she meant. He sneered: "Next time you try that trick, not only will you not succeed, but you will only be asking for trouble. If you don't believe me, just try."
Anna's expression changed slightly as she thought about the "hardship" she suffered after her success.
She turned around and walked upstairs. She was hungry and planned to eat first.
Rotgar thought she was giving up and followed her slowly.
While Anna was preparing food for herself, she still couldn't help but think about the devil's eyes.
The devil's eyes are so similar to the abyss, and coupled with what she encountered in the abyss before, it is difficult for her not to think that the source of this matter is in the abyss. To solve the problems in the human world, maybe you don’t need to go to the human world, you can try it in the demon world.
But the abyss is too far away from here. If she sneaks over there, she will be caught by Lotgar before she can run far. And when he had nothing to do all day long and never left her, she actually couldn't find a chance to escape at all.
Therefore, in the end, we still have to persuade him to explore the abyss again.
As soon as Anna finished eating, she was picked up by Rotgar and walked out.
His expression was cold: "You've finished eating, it's my turn."
Anna: “…”
Since the lifting of the ban, Rotgar has no worries. Looking back on the person who said "let's do it", he was so naive.
When everything subsided, the night stars had risen in the sky, and Anna huddled in Lotgar's arms. Although she was tired, she could not fall asleep.
She raised her head to look at Rotgar and said worriedly: "The abyss is so similar to the devil's eye... Is there something wrong with the abyss? By then, the demon world will not be able to survive."
Rotgar said: "No matter what happens, I will not let you get hurt."
Anna wanted to say more, but Rotgar pressed Anna's head on his chest and said threateningly: "If you don't want to do it again, just go to sleep."
Anna immediately shut up and stopped moving.
Rotgar hugged Anna tightly, his face a little cold.
He listened to what Anna said, and he even thought about it when he saw something was wrong with the devil's eye.
If something goes wrong even in the demon world...
The next day, Anna had just finished breakfast when she saw Rotgar telling her to stay here and walked out.
somebody is coming
Anna was not willing to listen and immediately followed her out.
But Rotgar flew into the air after walking out of the castle. She looked up and saw that the person who came was Balan.
Balan had just rescued Anna in Rotgar. He came once when Anna was still in a coma. At that time, he saw that Rotgar was in a bad mood even though he had rescued people, so he only told him not to be angry again. He attacked Anna and returned to his castle.
Looking at Rotgar's appearance at this moment, the experienced Balan's originally gloomy face also showed a hint of ridicule: "You have succeeded. What, do you regret not taking action earlier?"
Rotgar glanced at Balan, not wanting to discuss this topic with him, so he just said: "What brings you here?"
Seeing that Lotgar didn't answer, Balan didn't care. He glanced at Anna who was looking up below, coughed, and his face was solemn: "There is something wrong with the abyss."
Rotgar pursed his lips and asked, "Have you gone to see it?"
"Well, I took a look. It has doubled in size, and it has become very unstable." Balan said.
Rotgar looked down at Anna, but heard Balan say: "Rot, let's go to the abyss together? If we leave it alone, I'm afraid that the entire demon world will be swallowed by the abyss."
Balan didn't know that Anna had entered the abyss and brought things out of the abyss. He simply invited Lotgar to investigate together.
Rotgar hesitated for a moment, but Balan said: "Didn't you destroy the teleportation array? Human mages will not come here easily, so you don't have to worry about Anna."
Rotgar had already told Balan the reason why the human mage could come over, so Balan naturally knew about the destruction of the teleportation array.
After returning from the human world yesterday, he destroyed the teleportation array again. Now he really didn't have to worry about the human mage coming.
But he felt that Anna might find a way to repair the teleportation array and return to the human world.
Between not letting Balan investigate alone or taking Anna with him to investigate, Rotgar chose the latter.
"I'll take Anna and let's go together." Rotgar said.
Although Balan was a little surprised, he just thought that Rotgar had just experienced the beauty of sensory stimulation and was reluctant to separate from Anna.
Rotgar flew to the ground and said to Anna: "Let's go to the abyss to have a look."
Anna originally wanted to go to the abyss, but before she was careful, Rotgar offered to take her to see it. She said in surprise: "Now?"
Compared to Anna's surprise, Rotgar's expression was a little ugly. He nodded and said, "Yes. But don't even think about going in."
"I'll just take a look." Anna said innocently.
There was no need to repair, Rotgar just asked Anna to bring some food, then took her to fly, and flew towards the abyss with Balaam.
The journey was uneventful, and after a long time, Rotgar and Balan stopped in mid-air in tacit understanding.
Ahead is the abyss, which has expanded more than twice as much as Balan said.
"It expands so fast." Balan said solemnly.
Anna looked at the abyss that seemed to be breathing, and was even more shocked.
Compared with this abyss, the devil's eyes are nothing more than child's play. She still remembers the shock when she saw this abyss. But now she is much further away from the abyss than last time, and the abyss she sees is even better than the last time. It's still big, which shows that it has really expanded a lot.
I don't know what he felt, but Rotgar suddenly said: "Let's stay as far away as possible."
After he finished speaking, regardless of whether Balan agreed or not, he took Anna and flew nearly twice as far before stopping.
Balaam came over and said, "Lot, let's go in and take a look?"
He glanced at Anna again, feeling that it was a bit tricky, and said hesitantly: "It's safer for Anna to stay outside."
Anna didn't refute anything. She knew very well that if Rotgar and Balan went in together, they would have no control over whether she wanted to go in or not.
Although I feel sorry for Rotgar, there is nothing we can do about it, right
Now there is a problem in the abyss of the demon world, and it is not just a problem in the human world. If there is a problem in the human world, you can hide in the demon world, but if there is a problem in the human world and the demon world, where else can you hide? Even if Lotgar wanted to protect her, he had no choice.
If she enters the abyss, she will definitely die, but she can prevent the abyss from expanding any more. Whether she goes or not is just the difference between dying alone or letting the entire demon world and human world be destroyed together. She felt that there was no choice in this matter. What's more, she may not be in trouble if she enters the abyss. Instead of sitting outside and waiting to be swallowed by the abyss, it's better to let her go in and take a gamble.
"No, you watch Anna from outside while I go in." Rotgar said, "Don't go in before I come out, and you must not let Anna go in."
Rotgar's choice really left Anna speechless. She held his hand and said, "What if you can't come out? Balan goes with you, so we can take care of each other."
Rotgar grabbed Anna's wrist with his backhand, looked at her and sneered: "What a beautiful idea!"
Of course he knows what Anna wants to do!
He looked at Balan again and said: "No matter what Anna tells you, don't believe it. If I can't see her when I come out, I won't have you as a friend."
Balan frowned and said in astonishment: "Lot, what are you doing? It is too dangerous to enter the abyss alone, otherwise why would I come to you to go with you? Anna will be fine outside alone."
As he spoke, he took off a long chain wrapped around his wrist, looked at it reluctantly, and then said to Anna: "I'll lend you this staff... With it, it will be difficult for monsters to hurt you."
But Rotgar stopped Balan and told the truth with an ugly expression: "No one stops Anna, she will run into the abyss! You watch her, I will go in and take a look."
Balan didn't expect that this was the reason why Rotgar didn't let Anna stay alone outside, so he quickly said: "Why? Does she really want to die?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of something and realized that he had asked the wrong question. He immediately changed the subject and said, "Then you stay outside and I'll go in."
His impression of Anna has changed a lot, and he sincerely wishes Lot and Anna a long life, unlike him and Catherine. But he remembered that Lot, who had rescued Anna from the human world, was not in a good mood, so he later seized Anna in anger. Wasn't she unwilling to let it go? Although she doesn't seem to be seeking death now, but... But before, Anna clearly stayed to fight against the human mage and saved Lot. Because they had any irreconcilable conflicts during this period, or did the conflicts exist from a long time ago
Balaam felt a pain in his heart when he thought that he and Catherine were separated forever because of his past actions.
"I'm better than you." Rotgar showed no mercy. After saying this, he pulled Anna over and kissed her fiercely.
After letting go of her, he looked into her eyes and warned: "Don't play any tricks. If I don't see you when I come out, even if the human world is saved, I will become a nightmare for the entire human world for the rest of my life."
But Anna grabbed him when he was about to leave.
"It's too dangerous for you to go in alone. Come with Balan. I promise, I will stay outside and wait for you to come out." Anna said, she didn't want Rotgar to risk going in alone.
Rotgar twitched the corner of his mouth. He couldn't trust Anna's guarantee.
"No need, I am enough alone." He took Anna's hand and said to Balan, "Keep an eye on her."
Then, he suddenly flew into the sky and flew towards the abyss.
He knew that the abyss was now more dangerous than before, but he had to figure out the situation and preferably find a solution. He neither wanted to watch Anna go into the abyss to die, nor did he want her to follow him and perish with the demon world.
No, he must find a solution!
Anna watched Lotgar's figure fly towards the abyss, turned to Balan and said: "Aren't you good friends? It's too dangerous for him to enter the current abyss alone. It's still too late for you to chase him now!"
Balan glanced at Rotgar's leaving figure, but shook his head and said, "No, I'll wait for him to come out."
He looked back at Anna and suddenly said: "Don't imitate me and Catherine."
Anna frowned, wondering what Balan meant.
Baland said: "Lot has been an old virgin for thousands of years, and he has never treated anyone like you. He may not be good at sweet words... Well, maybe he has a bit of a poisonous mouth, but you have to understand that he is like this A person will never change his mind once he recognizes you. What's more, he signed a soul contract with you. A soul contract is only made once in a devil's life. You should understand the weight of this. If he has anything... I'm sorry for you, it's just Because I love you so much.”
After listening to Balan's words, Anna probably understood what Balan meant. Did he not want Rotgar to lose his lover like him
"I want to go to the abyss, not to seek death." Anna said, showing Balan the red marks on her palms, briefly talking about what she encountered in the hallucination, and then continued, "I want to save the human world... Now we have to include a demon world.”
Balan frowned and listened to Anna's explanation of the cause and effect. He remembered that Lot told him before leaving, asking him not to believe Anna's words. No wonder he said that at that time.
"This is just your guess. What if you guess wrong?" Balan said, "Believe Lot, he will find a way."
Anna looked into the abyss silently. If possible, she also hoped there would be another way.
"Balan, if Lotgar doesn't find a way, will you help me persuade him to agree to my way?" Anna asked calmly.
Balaam didn't answer immediately.
Of course he doesn't want to die, and he doesn't want both the demon world and the human world to be destroyed. He wanted to live and let Catherine continue to live in his memory. As long as he remembered her, she would be immortal.
But how could he possibly persuade Lot to let Anna die? He knows how painful it is to lose a loved one. He guessed that if Lot watched or even sent Anna to the abyss with his own hands, Lot might rather die with her. This is not only because of Lot's love for Anna, but also because of Lot's pride, he would never trade his lover's life for survival.
"I won't persuade him, and it won't be useful." Balan finally shook his head, and he soon laughed again, "Don't underestimate Lot, he will find a way."
"hope so."
Anna looked at the abyss that was still attracting her to dive into it. Its dark surface seemed to be streaked with lightning, and the boundary with the surrounding space was constantly fluctuating, as if it was breathing. It probably expanded slowly amid such fluctuations.
Next, neither Balan nor Anna spoke, until Anna suddenly saw a figure on the other side of the abyss, just in front of her on the left and right sides, and each was quickly approaching.
"Balaam, that's..."
Balan noticed the two figures earlier than Anna, and replied after hearing this: "It's the Grand Duke of Grid, Aigui, and the Grand Duke of Sligged, Bailey."
Anna has heard of these two names, they are the other two Grand Dukes of the Abyss. Just because the distance was too far, she couldn't see clearly what the two demons looked like.
The two demons did not stop when they flew to the abyss, but flew into it.
The movement in the abyss was too obvious, and these demons were naturally attracted to it. The strongest people in the demon world are the Dukes of the Abyss. If they don’t go to find out the reason, who can go
At this time, Anna noticed a figure flying in the other direction, and she knew who it was before she heard Balaam say, "That's Aosta, the Archduke of Feverley."
The five Abyss Dukes gathered together in the abyss, perhaps for the first time since they climbed out of the abyss and left.
