"Rey... Your Highness?"
"It's me, please forgive me for being late, Miss Shanoya."
Lin Tianyin looked at the blond and handsome young man walking steadily from the burning street in amazement, and at this moment she almost wanted to cheer for this guy's appearance.
Lin Tianyin was never as happy to see Lei as she was at this moment. When everyone is caught in this dilemma, Rey's appearance is like a great help. After all, he is the strongest character in the whole story, and he is an S-level protagonist in every aspect...
If Rey's around, maybe there's hope for them...
"Tch, are you here to help?"
The two little demons crossed and flew in the air, looking at Rey and screaming strangely.
"Even if the prince is here, it's useless. It's just in time to sacrifice your blood to the devil... Wow!"
Before the little devils had time to say harsh words, Rufus' arrow hit them without any hesitation. The little devil screamed in the air, was pierced through the forehead and fell down one after another with a "plop" and "plop", which finally calmed down the noisy air in this area.
"Hmph, scum..." Rufus snorted, shaking his long dark green hair casually.
Lin Tianyin didn't care about her integrity at this moment, no matter how dissatisfied she was with Ray, she still pretended to greet him with a gesture of admiration: "It's great to see you! Your Highness! "
"The sword in my hand will always fight to protect you." Rey really lived up to expectations, showing a graceful smile to Lin Tianyin.
Then His Royal Highness walked quickly to the front of the two of them, staring at the beetle on the other end who had lost command and began to rampage and spit flames, and said, "Can you tell me what happened here?"
"As you can see, the end of the world is coming." Lin Tianyin shrugged and replied, "The real Demon King was resurrected just now."
"I know." Rey frowned slightly, holding the sword tightly in his hand, "but why did it become like this..."
"That's the result of your indecision." Although Lin Tianyin wasn't very angry, she still pretended to be a little respectful on the surface, "The former mage Richard Van Leith, his purpose is to pass the Resurrect the devil to restore the magic of the world. But because the existence of the devil is too dangerous, he extracts the EX spar that can inhibit the activity of the monster through the spirit experiment, so that even if the devil has been resurrected, he still has a way to control the devil and can get it Use your power for yourself.”
"...What?" Rey's eyes widened slightly after hearing Lin Tianyin's explanation, with an expression of disbelief on his face, "It turned out that the resurrection of the devil was done by the mage Richard... and the research institute of the Wang family is exactly Did you provide him with convenience?"
"Yes, but not only that." Lin Tianyin nodded affirmatively, and then continued to narrate seriously to the astonished Rey, "Richard is full of ambitions, he thinks he will succeed, if it goes well, maybe the whole world will It was subverted by him. But at this time, another unexpected thing happened... That is the real devil Kaos, when he was eliminated that year, he had already planted the seeds of chaos in Richard's heart .”
"Kaos? Chaos Demon King..." Rey was even more surprised at this time, "So at that time, the Demon King was not really eliminated?"
"Yes, in other words, the real devil has always possessed Richard. At that time, it was very weak and could be easily eliminated. But over the years, slowly growing through the evil heart, unconsciously Now, the demon king who has become stronger can finally completely control Richard and resurrect him with his physical body."
Lin Tianyin replied very calmly and rationally, and she was very detailed, but in the end she still said with some blame: "If it wasn't because your highness was too rigid and listened to Richard's words and arrested me, we might be able to stop this now." Everything happened."
Rufus on the side glanced at Lin Tianyin, then looked away, as if he agreed with her explanation.
"No... I didn't believe Richard's words." Rey was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at Lin Tianyin with some embarrassment, "I have always believed in Miss Shanoya from the beginning to the end."
"But you still put me in prison just to abide by the rules that don't matter at all." Lin Tianyin shook his head at Lei Yi and sighed, "From a logical point of view, I understand that you, as a prince, need to lead by example, but you are It is because of your incompetence that this has led to this result."
"No, that's because..." Rey was very shaken, "None of us could have predicted that result, and I didn't choose..."
"Can you talk later if you have something to say?" Lufus quickly shot down three monsters that swooped towards them, and jumped onto the roof in twos and threes, "It's no use talking about it now , now is not the time to blame."
"No, you have a choice." Lin Tianyin automatically ignored Lufus' urging at this time, and looked at Rey so seriously for the first time on this burning street and said, "Rules are made by people, and they are also made by people." I came to break it. Please forgive my rudeness, Your Royal Highness, you just set rules for yourself, and you are unwilling to face and change. It is not true to blindly follow the rules. In fact, you have a choice to let yourself Do better and become a truly amazing person."
"..."
The flames were still burning, the rubble rustled down, and the howls of demons and people screamed one after another. In this chaotic city, Lin Tianyin's long hair was flying in the wind, and her eyes fell on Rey, calm and full of strength.
At this moment, Lin Tianyin's words seemed to have touched Lei Yi's heart. He looked at this girl who had never shown such an attitude towards him in astonishment, and suddenly felt a feeling he had never felt before.
Before that, Rey thought that he had a different feeling for this girl—it might be liking, or it might be something else, but in fact he wasn't sure. But Rey stubbornly let himself think so, so he persisted.
But at this moment, facing the calm girl, he finally understood what kind of mood he was in now.
Yes, he had already found himself hopelessly infatuated with this girl. She is beautiful, brave, and has a strong heart. Even if she has so many shortcomings, they can't hide the light that radiates from her.
"...you're right, Shanoya."
After hesitating for a long time, and as if only a flash of lightning passed, Rey suddenly closed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips and smiled.
"Maybe I did put too many constraints on myself and didn't make the right choices when it mattered the most."
"... Your Highness, do you really understand?"
Lin Tianyin couldn't help being surprised by Rey's straightforward reaction, and she looked at Rey suspiciously. In her impression, Prince Rey is a rather paranoid guy. Although he is gentle and kind, and seems to seldom get angry, he is actually not the type who can listen to others.
"Can you talk later?!" Lufus shot down the monsters rushing in all directions without stopping for a moment, and finally shouted at the two of them unbearably, "Cover for me! We have to wait until the number of victims increases." Exterminate another giant beetle before! Of course, if you humans don't care, I didn't say it!"
"Well, it looks like Mr. Elf is going to be angry." Rey suddenly laughed, and under Rufus' dissatisfied gaze, he swung his sword across the monster that was rushing towards them from the other end of the street, and then accelerated towards the other side. A magic flame beetle on a rampage.
"Let's talk about everything after we defeat these things!"
...
... ... ...
Rey is worthy of being the strongest character in this story. When she saw the fire-breathing beetle, which was bigger than a building, being split in two and crashing down, Lin Tianyin was suddenly glad that she was not an enemy of Rey.
Really, it's a good thing Rey isn't the enemy.
Although she already knew the strength of His Highness the Prince, but when she saw it with her own eyes, she was still overwhelmed by the astonishing sword skills and strength. Should it be said that she is the protagonist who opened Goldfinger? They solved such a difficult opponent in just an instant. If Rey was there, maybe they would have a chance to regain the battle of sealing...
"Captain Kane will assist you in the retreat of the townspeople, and the Knights of the Kingdom should be able to arrive by tomorrow evening at the latest."
After eradicating the monster, Rey comforted a little girl who had just been rescued from the monster's claws, and at the same time gave the town guard an order to retreat. The little girl had just lost her parents, but she was too young to understand what was going on and just kept crying. But after seeing Rufus, the little girl suddenly became interested in this handsome elf again, and stretched out her hand to Rufus' pointed ears while crying.
"Wuuuuu... Elf brother! Elf brother!"
Rufus ignored the little girl's gaze expressionlessly, and calmly continued to shoot an arrow, shooting down a bat monster that was fleeing in a hurry.
"Brother Elf..." The little girl still stretched out her hand unwillingly. Seeing this, Lin Tianyin poked Rufus on the back lightly, "That child seems to like you very much, why don't you sacrifice a bit to let her touch her ears?"
Lufus frowned and glanced at Lin Tianyin, "... I won't let humans touch me."
Lin Tianyin pouted noncommittally, then turned to the little girl and said, "Sorry, brother is very busy now, and he has to protect the whole city."
Elves are born with the ability to charm humans. The little girl still looked at Rufus obsessively, but after hearing Lin Tianyin's words, although she didn't know if she understood, she still sobbed and nodded in a sensible way, and withdrew her tears. own hands.
"Help... Dad... Mom..."
"..."
Feeling the little girl's too harsh gaze, Rufus's poker face finally loosened a bit. The proud elf sighed, and then suddenly rubbed the little girl's head with his right hand wearing the gemstone ring.
"Brother Elf..."
The innocent little girl smiled for a moment, and Rufus nodded at her with that indifferent face, then turned around and opened his bow again.
"I didn't expect you to be unexpectedly gentle." Lin Tianyin looked at Rufus unexpectedly and said, "I thought you were a guy who hated humans to the bone."
"Almost, but it doesn't matter now." Rufus said coldly, "Think about what to do next, and now there is no other sealing rod."
"I know..." Lin Tianyin replied, pursing her lips.
All this looks so bad in front of us. Everyone knows that the resurrection of the devil will inevitably bring about plagues, wars, and famines. The catastrophe will last for a long, long time, and the whole world will be in chaos. But at this time, the number of monsters has been reduced by more than half. Before that, the powerful subordinates of the Demon King have actually been crusaded by Rey. The current situation is not too bad. With the resurrection of the Demon King, only a group of low-level monsters appeared.
Considering this situation, Lin Tianyin was a little hesitant, and then felt that she should fight, maybe it would be able to end all this in one go before the real disaster began.
"Let's kill it in one breath."
Lin Tianyin raised her head, looked into Rufus' eyes seriously and said.
There must be a chance, she doesn't believe that everything is like this!
