Bone spurs are one of the more annoying hybrid demons. They can keep growing spikes like porcupines to protect themselves. When the spikes mature, they can detach from the body and shoot at the enemy, and they are powerful. Shooting through a five-centimeter-thick iron plate, the armor of ordinary people cannot defend against such an attack at all.

Once the bone spur demons use up the long spines, they will become defenseless for a period of time, so they usually live in groups in matrilineal clans, and the ones with more spines protect those with fewer spines until the ones with fewer spines grow spines again. Come.

Few demons are willing to provoke such a group of little demons who can shoot through steel plates, but even if they have such abilities, they are not enough to survive in the world of hybrid demons that prey on the weak, so sometimes they will collectively seek refuge with some stronger demons. The powerful demons will raise them in groups as weapons, feed them, shelter them, and order them to shoot a volley to kill difficult enemies when necessary. -- "Encyclopedia of Feinuo Continent · Alien Creatures"

The God of Light left, but the meeting continued.

An envoy from a country said worriedly: "This tentative attack alone has caused so many casualties. If Barutan comes prepared next time, Mikalan will not be able to stop it."

The general of another country agreed: "The city has never been attacked, and the walls are built with many irrationalities. It is not a suitable place for defense."

Darius, who is the head of the Knights Templar, said firmly: "The Knights Templar will guard this place. We are not afraid of sacrifice. Faith is our strong shield!"

King Leicester said flatly: "Yes, you are well-equipped and well-trained, but unfortunately your special power is only effective against mages and undead. What you have to deal with now is not just listening to you chanting a few scriptures." An enemy who will become defenseless."

How could Darius not be able to hear the irony in his words? He held back his anger because of years of self-training in politeness and self-cultivation: "Have you forgotten how we wiped out thousands of troops in the battle of the barbarians? ?"

"Even if you once won a beautiful victory, it was hundreds of years ago. Has anyone in your army participated in the defense of the city? Do you know how to deal with demons?" Reicester sneered, "But the demons know what to do with us. I don't know how they know, but when they came into this world, they didn't scatter aimlessly, or raid the unsuspecting villages and towns around them, but They came straight to Mikalan without even a little hesitation, and even the demons they brought over were specially selected for siege."

The pope asked, "So what is your opinion?"

Reichester said: "They know what they are going to do. Their target is the mage, or the pope, or us. If we leave Micaran and retreat to a stronger fortress, we will be able to fight in the defensive battle. Gain some advantage."

Ferdinand said weakly: "We can escape, but the equipment for carving runes and the materials needed cannot be moved in a short time, and we have to prepare 72 high-level magic crystals within half a month. Concentrate all the mages, including some apprentices who have not passed the trial, and work overtime to complete the work, and if we add fleeing and running around, we will not be able to finish the work at all."

The Pope nodded: "He is right. The Mage Academy cannot be lost. We must defend the holy city of Mikalan. And we can no longer send mages to fight the next time the demons attack. The Mage Association can't afford to lose any manpower. rise."

He said to the king of a neighboring country: "You are the closest country to us, I hope you can immediately order to send troops to aid Mikalan, for the fate of the entire continent."

The king hesitated and said: "But the God of Light mentioned that there are other cracks. No one knows where the demon army will appear next time. My country cannot be guarded by someone."

An envoy said angrily: "If the holy city of Mikalan falls, the mages will all be killed, and the portal cannot be opened. You will be useless in guarding your country in a world without the sun!"

"...I mean, I agree to send reinforcements, but not too much. This is not my business alone. Every country on the continent should work together."

"But my country is at the southernmost point. Even if the ravens are sent back now, the army will have to travel more than ten days to get here immediately."

"Then you're going to just watch?"

The meeting began to develop in the direction of wrangling and arguing. Although the crisis has not passed, everyone present began to worry that they had contributed too much and lost too much, and would be bullied by other countries after the crisis ended. They wanted to resolve it in the debate There are many problems - which country will send troops, which country will send supplies, will there be any problems if the troops of many countries gather in Mikalan, how will the command be distributed, and some countries that are far away need to march long distances to pass through other countries. Territory, how to coordinate...

Amidst the increasingly noisy voices, Evandel stood up abruptly and went out without saying a word.

After discovering the true face of Palos, he encountered a demon siege. After treating a large number of wounded soldiers, he had to rush back to see the God of Light. He hadn't rested for almost [-] hours, and he was really not interested in accompanying him.

After Evandel returned to the hotel, he didn't even have an appetite for food. He threw away his cloak and kicked off his boots, and fell on the bed. The extreme mental exhaustion made him almost fall asleep on the bed, but even in such exhaustion that he wanted to pass out , the mage could not sleep peacefully.

He began to have nightmares again, dreaming that he was tied to a wooden frame, exhausted, unable to break free, and could only watch helplessly as his blood gradually drained.

He has had such nightmares many times. After all, more than 200 years have passed. Even in the nightmares, he can no longer remember the appearance of that person, but this time, the person in the dream has the face of Palos.

The wound on Evandel's wrist was no longer bleeding, and Palos approached him step by step with a dagger in his hand. He knew what Palos would do next, but he was powerless to resist, so he could only shake his head in a panic: "No, no No! Don't do this to me!"

"I'm sorry." Palos said, "For my people to survive, I must sacrifice you."

"I don't want to sacrifice for your people, let me go!" Evandel struggled desperately.

"I'm sorry." Palos' eyes were full of sadness, and the dagger cut his wrist fiercely, "I'm sorry..."

It took a while for Evandel to wake up, lying on the bed, staring blankly at the darkness in front of him with wide eyes, his clothes were soaked in cold sweat, and his shirt was sticky on his back.

He felt his hands and feet were cold, and even after sleeping for so long, there was still no heat in the bed.Evandel didn't even notice that the weather had become so cold, maybe it was because Palos would always hug him to sleep before, and the young and strong body of the Templar exuded a reassuring heat, and it would be warm when he just Wake him up when the nightmare starts, pat him on the back and whisper softly to him until he calms down.

Thinking of the other face of that person hidden under this tender appearance, Avondel just wished he could crush all the time he spent with him on the ground and step on it a few times, lingering The disgusting feeling surrounded him, and the anger and anxiety made him sleepless again.

He simply got up, took out some magic materials and tools from his pocket, and drew a magic circle on a piece of parchment.

It was a tracking magic. Evandel left a tracking rune on Palos's armor a long time ago. Firstly, it was to quickly find the location of Palos if he was accidentally lost. Second, it was also to prevent This valuable suit of armor, which didn't fit in the backpack, was stolen.

As he expected, Palos didn't go away, and stayed in the city. He knew that guy wouldn't just escape like this.

Evandel put on his clothes and went out. The Templars on duty at the door greeted him and said, "Mr. Evandel, are you up? I'll send someone to prepare food. In addition, people from the Mages Association left a message, hoping You can go to meet them after you rest, do you need a carriage for you?"

Evandel passed him without stopping: "I'm going out for a while."

"Where are you going?" The Templars chased after him, "His Holiness ordered us to follow you at all times to protect your safety."

"Don't follow me. I'm not a prisoner. I have the freedom not to be monitored." Evandel was annoyed when he saw their armor now. Arkai and Firth also came out of the next room. Before they asked, Evandel Just say, "Don't follow me either."

"Are you going to find Palos? Do you have to be in such a hurry? At least get a good night's sleep, eat some sweets to relax, and then think about it..." Fiers was still chattering, and Arkai dragged him by the collar Pull away the noisy assassin.

At this time, Palos had already taken off the eye-catching armor, and was wearing an ordinary cloak without any characteristics, mingling among the crowd.

That luxury hotel was already in a busy city, and even in the endless night of today, people still have to live. The vendors in the market are selling candles, firewood and warm clothes, and the church is preaching in the square every day, shouting loudly. The God of Light has appeared, and will soon save everyone from fire and water, but the densely packed audience is mostly for the oatmeal and black bread distributed after the sermon.

Palos hid in a corner that was not easy to attract attention, pulled his hood down, and secretly looked in the direction of the hotel. He didn't know why he did this, it was meaningless, but he just I couldn't help but want to get closer to Avandel, like a desperate traveler sneaking close to the only bonfire in the cold night, even if he knew he would die if he was discovered, he couldn't bear to stay away.

Evandel had just come out of the hotel and repelled the Templars who followed behind. The mage looked tired and in a bad mood. Palos instinctively wanted to walk over and stand beside him, and only after walking a few steps did he remember that In his own situation, he retreated cautiously into the shadows.

What he concealed was finally exposed to Avondel at the most inappropriate time and in the most inappropriate way. Since then, he has been confused and in pain, even more sad than when he thought he was abandoned by his faith , He didn't even know how he survived this period of time.

Sometimes he would regret that he shouldn't have run away and should have stayed to face the wrath of the mage. Even if Avandell would kill him because of this, it would be better than living in such pain. Sometimes he couldn't help but despise his own way of escaping and committing suicide. Thoughts, the demons are at stake, his men are extremely anxious but helpless, the only hope is that he can persuade Avondel to cooperate with the demons.

However, the mage's hatred for the demons has been around for a long time, and I'm afraid no one can persuade him - especially him.All this is because of the sins he has done in the past. Palos still doesn’t remember many things, but he remembers that he was not the kind of person who would do whatever it takes to achieve his goals in the past. He couldn’t figure out why he would It is not wrong for him to save his people by doing such a frenzied thing, but what qualifications does he have to let innocent outsiders sacrifice for his righteousness?

Now he begins to believe in the saying that good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil. Evandel has helped many people regardless of return, and many of them or animals have also reciprocated his kindness when he needed it. In the past, Palos For a noble or selfish purpose, he hurt a seemingly inconspicuous mage apprentice, and now the consequences have come to him.Fate seemed to be laughing coldly in the corner, mocking him for doing evil and hurting innocent people for the survival of the demons, but the vitality of the demons was cut off in his own hands.

Now no amount of remorse can restore the wrong things he did and the lost lover. Palos can only hide in the dark and watch Avondel helplessly until the other party turns the intersection and disappears from his sight. .

Avondel came to a unique neighborhood, all the houses here are neatly built, exactly the same, people in the holy city of Mikalan know this place, this is the residence of the Templar family, if the Templar reaches the age After getting married and his wife has no better place to live, the church will assign him a place in this residential area for his wife and children to live in.

Avondel went straight to one of the houses and knocked on the door.

After a while, a pregnant woman with a big belly came over and opened the door, looking at this handsome young man with an uneasy expression, "Hi, what's the matter..."

"I'm here to find Palos." Evandel pushed open the door and walked in, looking around with sharp eyes.

The pregnant woman was obviously a little nervous: "There is no Palos here..."

Evandel walked to a floor, looked down, and stomped his feet. He looked around and found no entrance or switch, so he said to the pregnant woman: "Open this dark room, or I will blow it up .”

The other party looked at Evandel in surprise.

"You don't want an extra hole in the floor of your house, do you?" Evandel didn't want to scare her, but his tone sounded a little scary with anxiety and anger.
