"Let's go."
"Okay."
Reina responded. She took one last look at the shabby house that she had lived in for who knows how long and reluctantly turned around and left.
They carried their luggage, and two people and one cat left this place.
For Reina, who had never traveled far, leaving the place where she lived was also a test.
The Demon King knew that human nature was to like safe and comfortable places. Although it was not absolute, most people were like this.
No one knew what would happen to them during the journey, but what was certain was that traveling was a hard and unsettled thing.
The two sat on a rock to rest. Reina drank water and looked at the scenery in the distance, while the Demon King looked at the map.
The Demon King pondered.
Going north was to the Duchy of Glan, and going south was to the Snake Wanfu Empire. Going west was meaningless. Soon, they would reach the sea, and it was even further away from the Demon King's army. Those who went in that direction were probably people who wanted to escape.
So should they go east?
After passing through the mountain range, it was a large empire with dragon boats. The Tongsiro Empire was one of the three great empires. It was said that magic was very developed there, and most magic products were produced there.
Hmm …
It was really difficult to choose. Based on the current situation, Reina did not have the ability to cross that mountain range.
So, it was better to go south and take a look at the Snake Wanfu Empire.
Now that they had walked for almost a day, they had probably entered a place where there were few people. They would probably have to find a place to camp tonight.
Thinking of this, he planned to put away the map.
However, a gust of wind blew, and the grassland fluctuated with the wind. A group of white figures appeared.
"Master! It's sheep! "
Reina pointed into the distance and said.
The Demon King was speechless. He opened the map again.
It shouldn't be! There were clearly no towns or villages marked here. There should be no one living here. It might be wild sheep.
"Master! There are people! "
Reina shouted again.
Veins popped out on the Demon King's forehead.
Ding Ling ~
The flock of sheep was like a harvester, and the places they passed by were lowered. A shepherd girl in simple clothes stood up. She also noticed the two people walking towards her not far away.
Woof woof!
A black shadow appeared out of nowhere and arrived beside the Shepherdess.
"Hey ~ Hello ~"
Reina waved her hand and greeted her. The other party seemed a little puzzled and stood there looking at them.
Woof woof woof!!!
The black shepherd dog barked fiercely, baring its fangs in a terrifying manner.
"Blackwood!"
After the Shepherdess called out to it, it stopped calling out, but its eyes continued to stare at the two of them, especially the Demon King.
"Hello."
The Demon King greeted her. He did not want to talk about her clothes. After all, no one would wear beautiful clothes to do the dirty work of herding sheep. Moreover, she seemed to have not bathed in a long time, so her body was a little dark.
"Hello."
The Shepherdess greeted him timidly. She was a little tongue-tied and probably did not speak much.
The Demon King had heard that if humans did not speak for too long, they would suffer from a strange disease called amnesia. However, a Demon King like him would not suffer from this. Even though he had not spoken for forty years, he was still able to speak fluently.
"Is there a village nearby?" The Demon King asked.
The Shepherdess nodded. She was probably older than Reina, or at least she looked more mature.
"You're escaping?"
She suddenly asked.
"Yeah!"
Reina nodded, but the next second, an iron fist landed on her head, causing smoke to rise from the top of her head.
"No, we're travelers. We just happened to pass by this place."
The Demon King replied.
Travelers?
This word made the Shepherdess curious.
Baa ~
"Baa ~"
Reina crouched on the ground and tried to talk to a goat.
"I see, is there a small village to the west?"
"Yeah, my home, to the west." The Shepherdess continued.
There was actually a village in a place that was not marked on the map.
That shouldn't be, could it be that this map had expired?
Forget it, at least there was a place to stay. It was much better than sleeping outside.
"Thank you."
The Demon King thanked her and didn't want to disturb her any longer, so he took Reina to the west.
Of course, if he wanted to, he could casually use search magic to find out if there really was a village to the west, but he didn't do anything. After all, only a journey full of unknowns could be considered a true journey.
After going over one small hill after another, they saw human buildings as expected.
Some mossy stone and wood houses that almost blended in with the green grassland. If it weren't for the fence, it would be very difficult to find these houses from a distance.
What was strange was that there was only a small stream in the vicinity.
In a place like this, streams would dry up.
The village wasn't large, with less than 20 families. There was also some land around it. It looked like a normal village, just a bit poor.
Their fence was made of piled stones. There were two rows of stones on both sides of the road into the village. Behind them were cultivated fields, but there didn't seem to be anyone working in the fields.
Strange.
After seeing the two of them, some of the villagers showed a puzzled expression, as if wondering why there were travelers here.
This was also within the Demon King's expectations. Now he needed to find a villager who was easier to talk to and stay in his house for a night. As long as he had money, it shouldn't be a problem. After all, no matter which world the humans were from, they wouldn't hate money.
At this time, they just happened to meet a couple pushing a cart of dry straw.
"Hello, we are travelers passing by here. Do you know where we can stay for the night?" The Demon King asked.
The couple looked at each other.
"If you don't mind, we have an empty house."
The couple was probably in their fifties and were very hospitable. The man's name was Luo Shan. The woman didn't introduce herself, so he didn't know her name.
Their house wasn't big, but it could be seen that it was built with great care. It was very comfortable to enter. It was the kind of architectural style that didn't have a kitchen, and people lived and cooked in the middle of the living room.
"How did you find this place? After all, it's quite far from the main road. "
The woman carried a bowl of stew to the Demon King. The main dish was potatoes.
"Thank you."
The Demon King took it obediently. Although it didn't look delicious, he would still eat it to avoid trouble.
"Thank you, auntie."
Reina was also very polite. The Demon King was worried that she would do something amazing again.
"You're welcome. Where are you going, father and daughter?" Luo Shan suddenly asked.
Reina, who was eating, suddenly coughed.
It seemed that he regarded the Demon King and Reina as father and daughter.
"He's my master." Reina said.
"Master?"
Luo Shan was a little strange. He looked at the Demon King doubtfully.
"Well, I taught her how to hunt monsters."
The Demon King replied.
"Hey! Really? Are you an expert in dealing with monsters? " Luo Shan was shocked. The Demon King didn't know why he was so surprised. He deliberately concealed the fact that he was an adventurer. It was reasonable to say that there shouldn't be any trouble.
Unless this village was full of shapeshifters.
With that, the Demon King glanced at the cat next to him.
Meow ~
It seemed to know what the Demon King was thinking and shook its head.
It could accurately judge shapeshifters, which was one of the reasons why the Demon King took it with him.
"In that case, we have a favor to ask of you! Please help us! "
Luo Shan said to the Demon King excitedly.
