The reason why Defoe was looking for Ian was simple. Ian was a demon, but he had rebelled against the Realm of Devils and taken away the head of the Realm of Devils. Because of this, the boundary between light and darkness began to blur. If they didn't find Ain as soon as possible and retrieve the head of the Demon Realm, the boundary between heaven and hell would collapse. At that time, not only would the Human Realm be in trouble, but the Demon Realm would also suffer.
This was why Depor, as a Duke Fiend, was willing to cooperate with his sworn enemy. After all, from the perspective of the Makedala Monastery, they certainly didn't want to see the world collapse.
But it was a pity that even Crono, who was once Ain's companion, didn't know what Ain wanted to do. But no matter what, this guy first took away the treasure of the Demon Realm and then set his eyes on the Executor on the surface. It was obvious that this guy was up to no good.
In the end, the three parties reached an agreement.
Depor was in charge of providing intelligence, the Makedala Monastery where Rosette was located was in charge of acting according to the intelligence, and Audrey was mainly in charge of guarding the center. To put it bluntly, her mission was to protect Esmaria. After all, according to the current intelligence, Ain needed to find the Executor on the surface to carry out his plan. As long as Esmaria was here, his plan couldn't be carried out no matter how perfect it was.
And if Ain dared to appear in front of Grizzly, Audrey guaranteed that he wouldn't live for more than three seconds. The ending of the anime was too depressing. If she didn't bring this guy here, she would first divide five kilograms of lean meat and mince it into minced meat. Divide another ten catties of fat meat. Don't let the meat stay on top. Just cut it into minced meat. Finally, she would get five kilograms of soft bone and cut it into minced meat. She wouldn't be satisfied if she didn't see any meat on it.
The next day, the three parties met again. This time, Depor provided Rosette with a clue that could lead them to the location of the sinners. After hearing this news, Rosette and the others naturally planned to investigate without hesitation.
But just as they stood up and were about to leave, Audrey suddenly spoke.
"Wait."
"What's the matter?"
Hearing Audrey's words, Rosette froze for a moment and turned to look at the black-haired young lady in front of her. After their previous contact, she could confirm that this young lady was indeed not a demon. But the relationship between them was still very complicated. In fact, the three parties were restraining each other. Since he did not believe in demons, he sought assurance from the Makedara Monastery. In order to gain the trust of Sienna, Duke Dever also needed Makedara Abbey to join him. As the emissary of God, Markdalar Monastery was naturally wary of cooperating with the devils. Under such circumstances, the young lady from the East was obviously a very suitable neutral existence.
However, the thing that puzzled Rosette and the others the most was how strong Zhui was. Crono couldn't sense it, but he could tell from the way Duke Deaver bowed to her that she was much more powerful than the Duke Fiend.
Although the Markdala Monastery had sent people to gather information in this area, snakes had their own ways of doing things. Pi's identity and experience were well-known among the demons and monsters, but few people in the human world knew about it. On the Three-Eyed race's side, the monsters that colluded with the Demon Eye King were basically stuffed into Frostmourne to feed.
The Tianjin Gods who had tried to descend to the mortal world to rule the world were wiped out by Pi. Only the people of Mount Goya knew a little about this matter. But no matter what, they could not reveal this scandal.
Not to mention that the other party was a heretic.
"Yes, I do have something to do."
As Zhui spoke, she arrived before Rosette. Before the others spoke, she grabbed the pocket watch hanging on Rosette's chest.
"What are you doing?!"
Looking at this scene, Rosette was taken aback. But before she reacted, a dazzling white radiance erupted and enveloped Rosette entirely.
"Ahhhhh!"
Along with Rosette's painful screams, the flashes became increasingly dazzling. Looking at this scene, the others were taken aback!
"Rosette!"
Crono, who had transformed into his shota form, rushed over hurriedly. But at the next moment, he was blasted away by the airflow. On the other side, the red-haired Gem Witch raised her arm and aimed at Zhui.
"Stop right now!"
"Big Sister?!"
Seeing this scene, Esmaria was also shocked. She didn't understand why Grizzly would suddenly make a move when the two sides were having a good discussion.
However, she turned a deaf ear to the Gem Witch's threat. Seeing her reaction, the Gem Witch gritted her teeth and wanted to attack. But to her surprise, no matter how she moved, she couldn't control her power.
After almost ten minutes, Zhui finally retracted her hand. Rosette collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath. She had screamed for so long just now that her throat was almost hoarse.
"Rosette, are you okay?!"
Crono rushed to Rosette's side and looked at her uneasily. The man who was the representative of Makedala Monastery stared at Zhui unhappily.
"What do you mean by this?"
"Wait, wait a minute!!"
At this moment, Rosette finally caught her breath. She hurriedly waved her hand to stop the conflict that was about to erupt and stood up. At this moment, seeing Rosette, Duke Defoe's eyes lit up. He stared at Rosette in surprise and couldn't help but sigh.
"I've long known that your power is beyond imagination, but I didn't expect it to be to this extent …"
Having said that, Duke Defoe looked at Rosette and chuckled.
"Celebrate, young lady. The life you consumed to sign a contract with Crono has returned to your body."
"Huh?!"
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads in surprise and looked at Rosette. Rosette nodded. She lowered her head, clenched her hands, and spread them open.
"I … I can feel that my life force is indeed …"
Rosette raised her head and looked at Zhui in confusion.
"Why? Why did you do this? "
Rosette was extremely puzzled. Of course, she could feel that the little life force left in her body because of Crono was now filled up again, as if it had returned to its original state. Not only that, but she could even feel that the life pocket watch she had contracted was also full of life force.
Even if Rosette didn't understand, she could imagine that this was definitely not a simple matter.
After all, being able to restore a person's life to its original state was the domain of the gods!
But what she didn't understand was why the other party did this. She wasn't familiar with this young lady, and they hadn't spoken much before, but the other party had inexplicably given her such a big gift …
"I don't know what your beliefs and culture are like."
Zhui retracted her hand and let out a long breath.
"But in our Eastern culture, good will be rewarded, and evil will be repaid. Good people should be rewarded for their good deeds … I won't be going to the battlefield with you, so consider this as my help to you. Use Crono's power without worry. Don't worry about consuming your life force. "
There were so many vengeful spirits in Frostmourne that any one of them would be enough to drain.
Zhui remembered that in the anime, there were several times when the protagonist fell into danger because he didn't have enough life force. Things that could have been solved as long as Crono undid the seal were tied up because of this, and he even failed on the verge of success. She wasn't interested in torturing the protagonist. In contrast, Zhui preferred to read novels that crushed the protagonist.
She had already suffered enough in the anime. She didn't want to experience it again in reality.
Thinking of this, Zhui looked at Rosette in front of her again and smiled.
"Come on, I believe in you."
Until she left the house, Rosette was still in a daze, as if she hadn't come back to her senses. She had long since stopped thinking about restoring her life force. She also knew that she wouldn't live to 30 years old. In the past, Rosette's only hope was to find her brother before she died, which could be considered as fulfilling her wish.
But now …
"It's unbelievable."
Crono was even more shocked than Rosette. Manipulating life was the domain of the gods. Even a demon could not guarantee that he could make up for the life force consumed by others so easily. He didn't even understand how she did it so easily. Even Ion probably couldn't do it.
"But in any case, thanks to her, we already have enough power."
Rosette didn't think about those complicated things. She clenched her right hand hard, then loosened it, then clenched it again.
"This way, even if we encounter Ion, we'll still have a chance!"
Standing on the balcony, Zhui nodded in satisfaction as she watched Rosette and her party leave. Perhaps to Rosette, this gift was particularly inexplicable. But to Zhui or Fangzheng, this finally fulfilled one of their regrets. No matter what, Rosette's current life force was enough for her to live to 9100 years old.
In addition, Zhui also did something indescribable. That was, when restoring Rosette's life force, he put his own mark on her soul. This was equivalent to telling the gods above Rosette that this girl was under her protection, so you better keep your hands clean. If you dare to do anything stupid, be careful that I burn your heaven.
To be honest, because of the deliberate avoidance of questions, Zhui could not remember the plot of "Holy Spear Nun" in detail. But she vaguely remembered that Rosette obtained a Holy Mark not long after. Although it was said to protect her on the surface, in fact, that thing was basically useless.
Moreover, she was quite disapproving of God. What kind of person loved by God? Being loved by God would cause one's family to be broken up and die at a young age?
Forget it, in that case, I advise you to love those corrupt officials instead of torturing ordinary people. It's not easy for people to live. Who isn't born and raised by their parents? You have nothing better to do than to let them suffer for you …
Thinking of this, Zhui restrained the thoughts in her mind and turned to look behind her.
"Esmaria, get ready. We're going out for a while."
"Huh? Where are we going? Big sister? "
"To Disneyland."
Facing Esmaria's question, Kieran chuckled and snapped his fingers.
"It's rare for us to come out, so of course we have to have fun!"
