The Demon Hunter

Half a month later, Cologne crouched behind the grass—the advantage of ancient times is the rich vegetation—and looked carefully at the distant town of Lancepole.The town was already close in front of them, but they could only watch from a distance because of an army surrounding the town.

This was the first time Cologne saw a siege battle in the wizarding world, and it had to be admitted that it was very exciting.Although Lanspor Town is a town, its walls are thicker than many small and medium-sized cities, at least according to Coloin's observations during this time.There is also that colorful, translucent magic shield, soft and fragile like a jellyfish on the surface, but in fact, whether it is the huge stones thrown by the trebuchet or the spells released by the magic stone, they are all isolated from the city. .

Therefore, the army outside the city can only officially start attacking after breaking through the magic shield. However, since Coloin arrived here a few days ago, they have been busy with this, and they have not seen how much the magic shield has weakened.Instead, Cologne saw many broken-down trebuchets, and the team of magicians shrank day by day.

The bushes were pushed aside lightly, a boot was quietly stepped on the grass, and someone was approaching Coloin carefully from behind...

"Do you know who those guys are?" A hand suddenly patted Cologne's shoulder, but Cologne didn't launch an attack, he didn't even have a surprised expression, he just asked very plainly.

"Did you see me?" Ansel squatted beside Cologne with a face full of discouragement.

"No."

"Then how do you know it's me?"

"Is anyone else so boring besides you?"

"You call this boring? I really trained your vigilance. You know, being calm is not bad. But being too calm is dull." Ansel said with a serious face.

Cologne glanced at him, and immediately turned his head: "We are investigating, Ansel. I don't want to be discovered by laughing too much."

"Laughing? Did I say something ridiculous?"

"Of course." Cologne said, "Whenever you want to teach someone a lesson, what comes out of your mouth is actually a joke, Ansel."

"You're really really unlovable, Cologne."

"That's the most touching compliment I've ever heard, thank you."

"..."

Half an hour later, the two people who kept bickering but kept hiding carefully and were not discovered ended their investigation.Back to the cave where they lived temporarily.Although there are some abandoned small villages on the outskirts of the town—the villagers generally hid in safe castles during the war—but even though there are food, houses, and soft beds in that place, it is also an area searched by the army. Although the caves are simple, But at least the place is safe.

"How is today?" Seeing them coming back, Evan ran over with a rabbit that had just been skinned.

"It's still the same as a few days ago." Ansel shrugged. "It's a strange siege battle. One side is just defending, and the other side seems to be attacking, but it's more like acting."

"That look is acting?" Cologne was stunned for a moment. In his eyes, it was already intense enough. The flying gravel and the bright magic that almost dyed the day into rainbow colors, if you take pictures, you will get When it comes to Earth, there is no need for post-editing, and it can be directly released as an annual blockbuster.

"Who said that everything I said was a joke?" Ansel snorted and raised his chin proudly.

"You are distorting, I just said that when you want to teach people..."

"A meaning!"

"Okay, I apologize." Cologne was flexible, "So, please explain why Lanspor Town, which is labeled like that, is just acting in your eyes?"

"That doesn't sound like a sincere apology." Ansel squinted at Cologne.

"I'm very, very sorry." Cologne rolled his eyes, stood up and saluted standardly.

"Temporary acceptance." Ansel shrugged, "The simplest reason is that there are enough magicians on the side of the siege to activate the powerful magic circle, which can make him instantly defeat the magicians protecting the town, but they didn't do it. .But they have been doing target practice until now, who knows why they do this..."

"No matter the reason, we can't stay here any longer." Lucy walked out of the cave. Before that, she had been taking care of Jena.

"what happened?"

"Jenna is giving birth."

"God! Now?"

"Not yet." Lucy said, and Ansel breathed a sigh of relief, "There are still a few days before her due date, but this matter is not so accurate, the time may be delayed, but it may also be brought forward. And there is nothing here. "

"is it?"

"Of course! You think I'm going to be joking about it, or tricking you with it?!"

"No, of course not, I just... have no experience in this kind of thing, so the question was just subconscious. But you seem to be very experienced." His last sentence was also subconscious, and the result It was Lucy's face that had just softened, and it turned livid in an instant, and Ansel also realized that he had said something wrong, so he tried his best to make up for it, "No, I don't mean whether you have had many children, I just... I……"

It is conceivable that the result of the remedy is only to make things worse and worse.Ansel patted his mouth: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."

"Of course I know, you didn't mean it. I accept your apology." Lucy nodded with a straight face, and she didn't seem to accept it at all. "My little sister was born by me, but I think It's not about me right now."

"Yes, Lucy." Ansel nodded immediately, and the embarrassment just passed. "It is impossible to enter the town. The abandoned villages around are too dangerous. It seems that we can only return the same way."

"Ah!" A scream came out of the cave suddenly, Lucy ran in hastily, and she ran back in the blink of an eye: "It seems that it is still too late."

"Jenna is really going to have a baby?!"

"She's starting to have labor pains."

"Part, labor pain?" Ansel obviously didn't understand the term.

"Don't be silly, we gotta start getting ready. Alright guys! Donate your clean shirts! If you have any! Evan and I go in and help! Chloe and Lance, give us all we can Use all the pots to make hot water!"

"What about me?" Ansel asked Lucy who was about to enter the cave, holding Evan—the little pastor's eyes were straight and his legs were trembling, obviously a little guilty about the midwife profession.

"Get out of the way."

"..."

The three men squatted outside the cave, fiddled with the extinguished stove—the earthen stove they built could allow the smoke to escape from the ground, and when it diffused into the air, it was so thin that it was almost invisible, making it difficult for people to find its whereabouts—they were nervous Hearing a more urgent cry from the cave.

It has been a whole afternoon of tossing inside: "It turns out that giving birth is so hard." Ansel said.

"I'm glad you're a man and don't have to go through this?"

"I'm not in the mood to argue with you right now." Ansel squinted at Cologne, "Do you think Jena will be a boy or a girl? Or will she give birth to a fairy?"

"do not know."

"It's not surprising. How can you know something that I don't know?"

"A few seconds ago, who said he wasn't in the mood to bicker?"

"I'm just stating the facts."

"It's an extremely true fact." Cologne sighed with a grimace, "Lance, what are you thinking?"

"A little..." Lance frowned, as if he was thinking carefully about what words to use, "A little disappointed..."

"Disappointed? Why."

"I have no mother, no one has pain and labored for my birth, no one loves me..."

"It's true that I'm not human. I'm a demon hybrid, or man-made. But, you can't ignore it. I love you, Lance."

"perhaps……"

"perhaps?!"

"Cologne, I'm just one of 'all', I... If it's not me who is here today, but other members of our race, wouldn't you also like him? After all, apart from you, the one who survived We all have the same looks, the same bodies, the same thoughts, the same everything..."

If the object of love is one of twins or multiples, it is easy to argue that it is not the appearance that loves, but the inside.Because no matter how identical twins are, there will be differences in personality.But Lance and other creations are different. They are all products of "unified standard production", different individuals, and the same "person".

In fact, Cologne also understands that if there are other people of the same race with other names here, he will still fall in love with them, but from another aspect, that person is actually no different from Lance.Because they will all make the same choice and have the same growth, the one standing beside him in the end is just a Lance with another name.

But this cannot be explained to Lance, because from his point of view, he is Lance, the only one, not someone else.

So, of course, Cologne couldn't use this method to comfort: "If I fell in love with you at first sight, then you can judge me guilty. But, Lance, we decided to fall in love after we had been adventurous together for a while. And Do you think that you at that time were still the same you as everyone else?"

Lance hesitated, then shook his head.

"Yes, you were different at that time, because of that, I fell in love with you." Cologne smiled and held his hand, leaned over to kiss his lips, "I love you because you are you."

"~" The whistle sounded, and Cologne, who was in a romantic atmosphere with Lance, glared at the guy who made a strange tune, "Don't overreact, I'm just feeling sorry for the child's growth." Ansel's face was full of He smiled maliciously, "You have grown up, Lance, because you can think about the profound philosophical issues of 'I am not me'. You have also grown up, Coloin, your eloquence is getting better and better .”

If there wasn't a pregnant woman in the cave behind them, if Ansel hadn't been his guardian, Cologne would have thrown a glove at him by now!However, more than half of this year has passed, and it shouldn't be too late to throw gloves after the year is over.

"Lance! Come in and help!" While Cologne and Ansel were staring at each other, Lucy was out of breath, running out with bloody hands, Lance followed obediently, and finally the two men who stayed outside Looking at each other, they honestly stewed back to the earthen stove, and this time the two of them didn't talk much—the situation inside was obviously not optimistic.The moon was already hanging in the middle of the sky, and Jena's yelling was no longer so loud, but it wasn't that she was no longer in pain, but that she was gradually losing strength.

Although she personally delivered her little sister, Lucy, who actually delivered her own little sister, was no longer so calm.She even started to blame herself and regret it. It would be a better choice to take Jena to the nearest village when the labor pains started, instead of letting her self-righteously torment a pregnant woman and her unborn baby!

Evan was working hard to release all the magic spells he could think of that might help.In fact, Lance, who was called in by her, couldn't help at all. He just knelt beside him and sorted out the soft and clean men's shirts selected by Lucy.

"Lucy..." Jena called out in a low voice when the female warrior blamed herself.

"It'll be fine, Jena, don't worry." Lucy immediately held her hand and comforted her gently.

"Don't beat yourself up. It's not your fault."

"It's my fault, I should have suggested to Ansel earlier, or taken you away when you started to hurt..."

"No, you, you are all good people. I will be like this. It is a law of nature and has nothing to do with you." Jena gritted her teeth and took out a coin from the hidden pocket of her skirt. family crest and a small golden bag, "You have been helping me, even though I have hidden so much. Two years ago, I fell in love with a human, so I abandoned all fairy glory and chose to be Alone. I lived happily ever after for two years until my husband died."

Lucy raised her eyebrows. She didn't quite believe that Jena's husband was dead, but since she said so now, that man must be dead.

"My story should have ended here, but I was pregnant, so I chose to continue to live, go back to my hometown, and raise this child. But now there may be no chance..." Jena put two things in the In Lucy's hand, "Please destroy the badge for me, and please hand over the contents of the bag to the elders of Fairy Lake with the child. Sorry, I will trouble you in the end."

"It's born! It's born!" Jena said the last word, and Evan yelled at the same time.

Lucy was stunned for a moment, and looked at the baby stained with mother's blood in surprise: "Jenna! Jena! Your baby is born, it's a boy, Jay..."

The crying of the baby relieved the two men waiting in the foreign office, but when Evan walked out, the news he brought to them was not only the birth of one life, but also the end of another life...

"Xianling Lake, what is that place?" Everyone didn't sleep all night, and they didn't eat all day and night, but no one felt tired or hungry. When the sky turned white, they sat together, Lucy Holding the boy who is sleeping soundly.If it wasn't for Ke Luoyin's question, they would probably have sat like this forever.

"The town of Lanspor, the hometown of the fairies, borders on that lake."

"Lake?" This place is the same as any town in this era, the castle, the castle is surrounded by villages, and the village is surrounded by a forest sea that can't be seen. There is a waist-deep river in this place. As for the lake, at least They haven't seen it during their investigation during this time.

"It is rumored that the lake does not exist in reality." Evan answered, "It is a space created by the fairies with their own magic power, and in Lanspor Town, there is the only channel to communicate with reality."

"So, we still have to go into the town." Apart from Lance, several others sighed at the same time, and the question came back around, how to get in?
