Lingtu, who was defeated by the Demon King, was a little disappointed and left the banquet alone. The others welcomed the two of them. They surrounded the two of them and liked to listen to their travel stories. They were full of curiosity about the outside world.
There were also some like Fina who were eager to understand the magic of the outside world. Some girls surrounded Reina, envious of her beautiful clothes.
During the banquet, the patriarch gathered a few elders and held a secret meeting.
Those who gathered in the patriarch's house were all old people. When they knew the purpose of the two of them, they all fell silent.
"That little girl, could she really be …"
"Too similar, they're exactly the same."
"She can't survive. This must be a coincidence."
"But her hair is the same as that demon's! There's no such coincidence in the world. "
"Yes! She must be the descendant of a demon! I can't let the bloodline of our clansmen be tainted! "
In the banquet, the Demon King gently put down his wine cup. He heard the word 'demon', so he pricked up his ears. Even though the surroundings were very noisy, he could still hear the voices in the distance.
The patriarch slapped his thigh and said loudly, "No matter what, I can't let the child bear the sins of her parents! If half of her body is our bloodline, then she's our clansmen! "
The elders fell silent again. Some of them shook their heads, some held their foreheads, but most of them supported chasing the two of them away.
"Since they passed the test, we can't chase them away." The patriarch said. He sighed and said, "No matter what, we have to give her a chance …"
"Then let her go up the mountain. We'll know if she's one or not."
At this moment, an elder suggested. When the other elders heard this, they all expressed their agreement. None of the patriarchs frowned.
The next morning, they brought the Demon King and Lingtu to the mountain. The patriarch pointed at the highest peak and said, "There's a kind of ice flower growing at the top of the mountain. Pick it and we'll know if she's one of our clansmen."
The Demon King looked up at the peak and thought, Isn't this simple? It's just a matter of two seconds.
However, just as he was about to move, the patriarch suddenly stopped him.
"She can only go up the mountain alone. This is our rule."
Hearing this, the Demon King frowned and looked at Reina. She had never tried to climb such a high mountain. The air was thin up there, and it would be dangerous if she wasn't careful.
"Master, I'll go."
Reina said. The Demon King nodded. Then, the Patriarch told her the way up the mountain and gave her some fur clothes and a stone with ancient magic. It could keep people warm.
Reina went up the mountain alone after hearing her master's instructions. As her figure disappeared from sight, the surrounding Alpine Tribe members also left one after another.
"Is it really alright if I don't go with you?"
At this moment, Mr. Ball, who was at the Demon King's feet, asked.
The Demon King shook his head and raised his hand. A white ball of light appeared in his hand.
The road up the mountain was very difficult and very cold. The cold wind blew, making people breathless. However, after Reina learned the magic to keep warm in the deep sea, she was no longer afraid of the cold.
The problem now was that the air was too thin. After climbing for a while, she was tired and panting. Even if she used strengthening magic, she couldn't climb to the top in one go. The top of the mountain was so far away.
She was a little worried that if she took too long, she wouldn't be able to see her master when she went back. She didn't know. Now, she just wanted to get the so-called ice flower as soon as possible.
Just when she wanted to continue moving forward, she suddenly saw a light behind her. In the clouds and fog, that light dispelled the fear in Reina's heart.
Her intuition told her that it was her master.
Her master was waiting for her!
So she breathed a sigh of relief and rested for a while. After recovering a little strength, she continued moving forward.
Unknowingly, the sky darkened. She, who had climbed to a high place, could see the process of the sun setting. The light of dusk ignited the emotions of those who wandered outside to return home. Reina, who was alone on the mountain, felt very uneasy. She lowered her head to look at the mountain. That light was still there. Her master was still waiting for her at the foot of the mountain.
She clenched her teeth and made a difficult decision. She wanted to spend the night on the mountain.
… …
There was some light snow at night. The surroundings were even colder. No animals would go out to look for food at this time.
However, there was a person standing in the snow. He was like a shadow, but there was a bright light in front of him. His light wasn't selfless. All of it shone on the mountain, while his surroundings were still dark.
At this moment, a figure walked towards him. It was a middle-aged man. Perhaps he had seen him at the banquet, but the Demon King had no impression of him at all.
"She won't be back so soon."
The other party suddenly shouted. He held a torch and a thick piece of clothing in his left hand.
The Demon King turned his head to look at him and said, "I know."
The other party smiled and shook his head. He slowly walked over. When he was only ten meters away from the Demon King, he discovered that there was no snow on the ground beside the Demon King. Moreover, there were green plants growing. He suddenly raised his head and revealed a respectful expression.
"Are you the messenger of spring?"
The other party suddenly said with admiration.
The Demon King shook his head and didn't say anything.
"My name is Yilin. I live in the north. If you don't mind, let's have a drink?"
The person who called himself Yilin took out a pot of wine from under his clothes. The Demon King wanted to find an excuse to send him away, but he sat down and took out two small wine cups as if he was performing a magic trick.
"Today, someone told me that a girl came back, so I came to take a look."
He poured two cups of wine. After the Demon King heard this, he dismissed the idea and sat down. The ball of light floated in the air and slowly fell into Mister Ball's hand.
The other party placed the wine cup in front of the Demon King. The Demon King didn't hesitate to pick up the wine cup and take a sip. Suddenly, he felt as if his mouth was burning. He didn't like the taste.
Yilin raised his head and drank the cup of wine. He let out an "ah ~" sound.
After that, the two of them were silent for a while. Yilin's face turned red after drinking the wine.
He was about thirty years old. He was one of the thinner people in the High Mountain Tribe.
"Fifteen years ago, my sister went missing."
He suddenly opened his mouth and said. He kept his head down and looked at the empty wine cup on the ground.
Fifteen years ago? That was about the same age as Reina. Perhaps this person was Reina's relative?
The Demon King sized him up. Other than a pair of blue eyes, he didn't have anything in common with Reina.
"How did she go missing?"
He asked.
Yilin frowned. At the same time, he gritted his teeth and said, "She was taken away by a demon."
