The Adventure Story of the Devil, the Maid, and the Hero

After arriving in the foggy forest, Giulia took out the handkerchief that was said to be Ollie from Candice, held the staff tightly in her hand, and tried to cast tracking magic on it.

The handkerchief gave off a faint golden light, Yulia closed her eyes for a while, and looked at somewhere to the north, "It should be... here, right?"

There was hesitation in her voice.

"The farther the distance is, the lower the accuracy will be, but in the general direction, this kind of magic should not be misjudged due to the long distance." April made an explanation to make her feel at ease, and then added after a pause, " In theory."

"Does Xiaoai have any research on auxiliary magic?"

Iluna asked curiously.

"No," April denied, "but I just know some theory, I don't know much about practical use."

After all, if you insist, tracking this type of magic should be regarded as a category with a limited scope of application.Not only does it have various restrictions, but it also doesn't work for some specific objects, which is really not very practical.Generally speaking, even if you learn it, you don't have many opportunities to use it.

After a group of people walked for a while following the guidance of the tracking magic, they stopped at a three-way intersection.Because the distance is too far, the items to cast are just ordinary handkerchiefs, and the tracking magic can't continue to judge which way to go.Therefore Giulia simply stopped maintaining her magic and put away her handkerchief.

By the way, Fuono seems to have carried out a "personality swap" in the middle, and April didn't react at all as if she didn't notice it at all.

Originally, there should be no roads in the forest. The so-called roads are just that more people walk, so the vegetation is more sparse in specific locations.

Since there was already a layer of mist in the forest at this time, coupled with the unfamiliarity of the environment, the option of scattered search was naturally ruled out.

That being the case, there is no choice but to choose a path to move on.

"Which way do Fu Nuo think is better to take?"

April asked her childhood sweetheart beside her.

"Huh?" Fuono looked at her, "Shall I choose one?"

Thinking of her experience of finding the Demon King's Fort almost easily by herself - ignoring the part of falling into the trap not far from the destination - Giulia felt that she could probably understand the reason April chose her. reason.

"Well, which one does Xiaofu think can reach the vampire's residence?"

Iluna's eyes lit up, and she also looked at Fuono expectantly.

"Don't make the premise of finding a vampire, we are looking for Miss Ollie." Giulia added with a wry smile, and then looked at her as well, "Anyway, please choose any one."

"Then..." Fuono secretly glanced at Shirpasha who was the only one who hadn't made a statement. After seeing her lightly smiling and nodding her head, she stared fixedly at the two roads for a while, took a deep breath and stretched out her hand. Point to the fork on the left.

"Just here."

So the group of five continued on.

However, the further you go, the more luxuriant the branches and leaves are, and the less sunlight leaks from the gaps. It didn't take long for the branches and leaves of the surrounding tall trees to completely cover the sky, and even the road ahead became difficult to see. clear.Obviously judging from the weather when they came, there should be some time before dark, but the environment they are in is already as dark as night.

Fuono heard the cries of animals like bats in the distance, silently clenched the dagger in her hand, and leaned closer to April.

Giulia chanted the spell in a low voice, and a bright light rose beside her, illuminating the road ahead.

April also chanted the spell, and not long after, two more lights rose far away, hanging beside them.

Lighting magic is the most basic practice spell for ordinary magicians.

"The dark elements here are very dense."

Shirpasha said suddenly.

"Are you a dark magician?"

April looked at her in surprise.

In the previous introduction, Shirpasha only said that she is a stealth class, and dark magicians are very rare in the human race, but Shirpasha is not a dark magician but a demon king.

Shirpasha neither denied nor admitted, but cast a spell at the slime in the grass not far away, then pointed at the slime who was hit and said, "Look."

April looked at the slime's remains and frowned slightly.

"……Black."

Fuono whispered.

The colors on the slimes represent elemental attributes. The colors on the most low-level slimes are very light, and some are even close to transparent, while the body of this one in front of you can see a more obvious black.

The group continued on for a while.I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yulia always feels that the surrounding environment is getting darker and darker, and it feels a little creepy.

"Hey, so," Iluna clapped her hands suddenly, and said with a slightly expectant tone, "Vampires seem to hate talking about light."

"What... uh!"

Giulia, who was walking ahead, was a little distracted by her words, tripped by a tree branch and staggered forward. Although she was immediately supported by Shirpasha, she still groaned because she hit a large bush in front of her. There was a lot of noise.

In front of the line of sight, large expanses of moonlight grass gave off a soft radiance, and groups of fireflies were startled, flying around in a blink of an eye.

The night fireflies are like stars, shining brightly.

Giulia was caught off guard, lost her words for a moment, and subconsciously grabbed Shirpasha's sleeve.

The three behind them also stopped.

"Hey, fireflies." Iluna sighed, "It's the first time Luna saw it."

"It's really...beautiful."

Fuono no longer knew what to say to describe the scene in front of her, so she could only express such feelings.

"... Moonlight Grass?"

April looked at the softly glowing plants all over the ground, and a certain guess emerged in her heart.

Several people just stood there quietly, after a while——

"be ready."

Shirpasha spoke.

Giulia let go of her hand upon hearing this, and looked at the people beside her.

There are dots of fluorescent light shining in the dark pupils, as deep as the night sky.

Shirpasha smiled at her, walked straight to the small wooden house standing in this mirage-like scenery, stayed in front of it for a while, and after confirming that the rest of the people followed, she didn't hesitate too much, ignoring Aipu "Wait a minute..." dissuaded Li, took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

"excuse me."

Shirpasha said casually, looking into the room while speaking.

The blond girl with bat-like wings on her back was hugging the gray-haired girl in a long skirt, burying her head in her neck and sucking.

"Uh, uh...uh."

The gray-haired girl closed one eye, bit her lips tightly, sporadically suppressed muffled hums escaped from her mouth.

The blond girl seemed to hear a voice that didn't belong here, so she stopped and looked up.

Giulia saw a pair of blood red eyes.

The blond-haired red-eyed "monster" licked the bright color like his eyes, hooked the corner of his mouth and said:

"I don't welcome you at all, uninvited guests."

It was an incomparably wonderful tone, like a chant, or a sigh.

"Ah!" Iluna clenched the arrow in her hand and looked at her without blinking. "A real vampire is much rarer than a firefly."

The person in front of him snorted and said with disdain:

"To compare me with the humble firefly, you really are an ignorant brat."

"There is no comparison. Didn't Luna say that you are rare." Iluna retorted, "And fireflies can sparkle, so it's not inconspicuous."

The vampire was not persuaded, and repeated with squinted eyes:

"That's why I say I'm an ignorant brat."

Fuono took the opportunity to shout to the girl who was embraced by the vampire and whose eyes were still a little blurred:

"Don't worry, we will definitely get you out."

The author has something to say:

Fixed a few details and typos, and changed the chapter name by the way.

Um meow, sorry for the inconvenience meow.

...Well, thinking about it carefully, it's not the first time Timon has done something like this.
