hell under construction

Garris was overjoyed and saddened by the bad news of the heavenly title and his family, while Damon was also in some trouble.

It was the first time that Damon came to the human continent. After sending Garris to him, he did not choose to return to the abyss immediately. Instead, he decided to wander around this strange continent to see if he could find some plant seeds. .

The products of Hell are poor, but Damon noticed that the land of Hell is very fertile. If crops suitable for planting in Hell can be found, the living standards of the demons in Abyss Hell can be raised to a higher level.

Or, if we can find cotton-like crops, plant and harvest once, maybe we can put on a piece of clothing for each of the demons in the abyss hell. Damon really can't stand the red-fluttering demons in hell. .

It is a pity that Damon has not seen a useful plant since he found the full moon in the evening.It is full of bushes, and there are scattered things that cannot be eaten.

"Oh, are you really going to return empty-handed?"

Daemon was propped up against a tree, his figure was extremely lonely under the moonlight, and he sighed a long time.

Before leaving hell, in order not to worry the demons in hell, Damon told Asmodeus that he might stay in the human continent for a while.

Asmodai feared that Daemon would be attacked by human paladins on the human continent, and repeatedly told Damon not to stay for too long.

Dimon made an appointment with him to go back within half a day, but now seeing that the time has slipped by nearly a third, Dimon still got nothing.

This made Dimon extremely frustrated.

Suddenly, a small white figure "swish" past Damon's eyes.

"That's—a rabbit!?"

Damon, who hadn't eaten meat for more than ten days, suddenly regained his energy. He had no time to sigh, and chased after the rabbit.

If you can't find crops, you can find some meat to eat!

The rabbit ran extremely fast, and with the trees blocking his view at night, it took Damon a lot of effort to finally catch the rabbit.

After quickly bloodletting and skinning the rabbit, Damon began to look for dry firewood.

But it is a pity that it is even the wet rainy season on the human continent at this time, and this forest is full of damp firewood, and there is no condition for making a fire at all.

Damon's searching eyes suddenly found that there were a few flames not far away, which looked like traces of human activities.

"Is it possible that there are still humans living here?" Damon wondered.

Thinking for a moment, this place is extremely remote, and the people here probably don’t know much about demons, so Damon covered the demon horns on his head with a cloak hat, concealing his demon appearance, trying to pretend to be a lost Traveler, "borrow" a fire from the people there.

Damon carried the rabbit he had handled, pushed aside the bushes, and came to the place where the fire was clearly visible step by step.

This is a small village with a few families scattered among the mountains and forests, but most of them live together and are far away from Damon's location.

And the fire source that Damon saw came from a small house alone at the border of the village.

Dimon guessed that this family may be relatively lonely, or be excluded by the villagers.

But this also shows that if Dimon wants to borrow fire from this family, he doesn't need to deal with many people, he only needs to communicate with this family, which can greatly reduce the chance of Damon's demon identity being discovered.

Damon straightened his clothes and tentatively approached the family.

Taking a closer look, Damon was surprised to find that there was actually a piece of potato planted in a small vegetable field in front of the family!

Damon's face was full of joy, and he quickly came to the field, squatted in the underground plants, and observed carefully: "It really is a potato!"

Damon carefully peeled away the potato seedlings, and three or four round potatoes were exposed from the roots sticking to the soil.

Although the largest stem of this potato is only a quarter of the size of a fist, it looks malnourished, but this is the only edible plant that Damon has seen this day!

With a smile of picking up treasures on Damon's face, he picked up the potato seedlings, looked at the little potatoes with a little soil on them, and smirked "hehe".

"Who is there!" A childish voice suddenly came from behind Damon.

A huge fork nearly 1.5 meters "swish" inserted into the ground beside Dimon.

Of course, the fork avoided the potato seedlings very accurately.

Damon turned his face away with embarrassment while holding the stolen goods, and was caught by someone.

Looking at the owner of the land in embarrassment, Daemon smiled: "Haha, that... would you believe me if I said that I came here to borrow fire?"

The person who caught Damon was about twelve or thirteen years old, wearing plain gray clothes with a lot of patches on his body, and his family background was not that good.

This child has short black hair, which is messy and not so clean, but the most special thing is that child's eyes, which are extremely translucent purple, which looks abrupt on this child's face, but adds a little bit to this child. hostility.

Seeing Damon and the potatoes in his hand, the child had an angry expression on his face: "I've already moved so far away from the village, yet you still don't let me go, and even come to grab my food! "

Damon was taken aback. Hearing what the child said, the child regarded himself as someone from the village over there. It seems that the child was excluded and isolated by the villagers, and some people even came to steal his house when the child was not paying attention. food.

Damon quickly explained: "No, no, I'm not from the village, I'm just a passing... bard! Yes, bard, I caught a rabbit, but I didn't have the material to make a fire. I saw you There is a fire light at home, so I want to borrow a fire."

Damon held up the very clean rabbit in his hand to the child, and then pointed at the potatoes on the ground with some embarrassment: "Uh... Then I saw the potatoes you planted at home, so I thought... I can ask Would you like to borrow some potatoes from your family?"

Stewed rabbit meat with potatoes, Damon's mouth is watering when he thinks about the taste.

"Bard?" The child in front of him was still a little skeptical, but he had never seen someone like Damon in the village. It seemed that Damon was not sent by the villagers to play a prank on him.

"But I won't eat your food for nothing. I use half of the potatoes to stew rabbit meat. Can I exchange it with you?" Damon wanted to please this kid with delicious food.

I have to say that Dimon's idea was right. This kid is skinny, and it looks like he hasn't eaten a few good meals.

Hearing that Damon said that he would give him half of the food, he was a little shaken.

"Gollum..."

The movement in the stomach directly betrayed the child's pretended resistance.

"The potato stewed rabbit meat I made is delicious!"

Damon continued his efforts, shaking the rabbit in his hand at the child in front of him.

The child's cheeks were slightly red, he turned his head and walked into the room: "I can borrow it from you, but you'd better not do any tricks."

"I promise." Damon smiled and swore to the sky.

These three or four small potatoes were not enough for a dish. Damon dug up a few more small potatoes, carried the potatoes and the rabbit, and followed the child into his house.

Empire.

"Garys found it?"

Elliot lowered his head, his golden hair was scattered on his shoulders, and his red eyes looked at the glazed stone engraved with holy patterns suspended in his hand.

Paladin Garyel lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the back of the holy guide wearing the holy robe, and said respectfully: "Yes, it has been sent back to Earl Earl's mansion, and Garris will probably be there within a week. will be conferred as the new earl."

Elliot nodded, and asked again: "Did you notice the fluctuation I mentioned?"

Gaylor hesitated: "..."

"What? No?" Eleon raised his eyebrows.

Garyel had a remiss expression on his face: "It's my subordinates who are incompetent, and I haven't found any traces of demons..." Then he asked with some doubts: "Holy guide, why are you so sure that Garris will collude with demons?" ?”

Elliot chuckled: "Half a month ago, Garris disappeared in Chenxi Town, and some witnesses saw Garris being taken away by a demon, so how did you say he appeared in Chenxi Town half a month later? Nearly a thousand miles away?"

Garyll said: "...but the relationship between demons and humans is bad, and ordinary humans only know that demons are evil creatures that can eat people. How could Garris be with that evil creature..."

"This is the key point." Elliot frowned slightly: "For thousands of years, demons have been imprisoned in the abyss hell. How they bewitched Garris is also a big worry in my heart... Garris is very worried. It may be the breakthrough point, you have to keep an eye on him. By the way, what fiefdom will he get after he succeeds the earl?"

"Earl's old territory has already been taken by the eldest prince, and the only thing he can get is Viscount Klein's fief."

"Wind and Smoke Fortress?"

"Yes."

"Heh...that's a good place." Elliot smiled ironically: "The human race and the bull race have been fighting for that territory for many years. If this person goes there, he may end up with his elder brother." Like the second brother—"

"Ah! Ahh!"

Garris, who was far away in Earl's mansion, sneezed a few times.

I don't know what kind of dangerous future will be waiting for me.

While listening to the earl's house steward's funeral arrangements for his father and brother, Gareth stroked the obsidian with strange patterns that Damon gave him.

The relationship between the father and the two elder brothers is actually not close to Gareth. Garris is just the child of Earl Earl's least favored woman.

Garris' mother died early, and when he became an adult, Earl sent Garris to Chenxi Town in order to prevent him from competing with his elder brother for the title of property.

He hadn't seen them for three years, so he didn't really have much idea of ​​their deaths.

The butler finished talking about the funeral there, and then began to talk about the earl's succession ceremony for a few days. Emotional reading machine.

Garris knew that the butler only looked down on him, and it was very likely that he was satirizing his fate in his heart, and that he missed the title of earl.

Garris twirled the beautiful obsidian in his hand, and he even began to miss the life in the abyss hell.

I don't know when I can see Damon again...
