Two, each has a mind
It is sparsely populated outside the city and the city is full of people.
Although this is the back, there are always some monsters that have escaped the net wandering in the wilderness. Residents outside the city who have no wall protection often live in panic every day. As long as it is a village close to the city, they will spend most of their time in the city as much as possible.
"There are more people than when I left. Is it because everyone outside the city has been to set up for refuge? It seems that the situation behind is not easy." Looking at Sheng Jing who is coming and going around, the brave man couldn't help but remember the scene when he first came to the imperial capital four years ago.
Although people were coming and going around, most of them were nervous and walked around with uneasiness and aimlessness. It was much worse than the way everyone saw when they came to the emperor a few years ago.
"If this continues, people may be mentally broken and cause a big mess." The brave man whispered to himself, "But even so, it's better than the area occupied by the demons."
"Hey!" The brave man thought for a while, slowed down and turned around and pulled open the corner of the curtain, divided part of his energy to glance at the carriage, and said to the girl curled up in the corner, "Little guy, do you want to come out and see what we look like in our human city?"
The brave man spoke not the language of the human race but the language of the demon race. If his fluent language of the demon race was heard by people on the front line, he would definitely think that he was a high-level monster who could transform into human form.
The girl raised her head, and her long hair still covered most of her face, but even if she only showed half of her face, she could see that this little girl, who was about ten years old, had a delicate face. When she grew up, she was definitely a beautiful beauty who was fascinating to the whole country. However, at this time, her face was full of confusion and anxiety, and she looked at the brave in fear, as if she had not heard clearly what he was saying.
The brave man smiled and repeated the words just now, but the girl did not feel happy because of his kindness. Instead, she hugged the horn in her arms even more frightened. The look at the brave man seemed to see a beast that was about to attack her.
"You don't have to be afraid, little guy." The brave man smiled like a perverted uncle who was about to abduct a young girl and go home. "You are not a demon king, I won't do anything to you. The reason I lock you inside is just because the horn formed by the magic power of your father's demon king can resonate with it, and it is possible to absorb his power. As long as you put down the horn, I will not only not do you, but also meet your various requirements, at least much better than you in the demon clan."
The young girl trapped in the cage is Ania, the daughter of the Demon King. When the Brave killed the Demon King, she was right beside her and saw the Brave killing her father with her own eyes. In her heart, this man who always had a hearty smile is the most terrifying demon in the world. If the father's horn in her arms gives her a trace of courage, she can't even look at the brave.
"...bad guy." Ania looked at the brave for a while before she could pluck up the courage to say these two words in a voice that only she could hear.
"If it weren't for the interruption of the magic resonance of the demons, it would cause harm to people, especially if a child was interrupted, it would leave damage that would not be healed for the rest of his life. I'd long snatched the horn, don't be ungrateful, you little guy." Although Ainia's voice was very small, the brave could still hear it clearly. If he had no extraordinary ability, he could not even break into the base camp of the Demon King, let alone killing the Demon King in the Demon King's palace.
The magic resonance of the demon clan generally only occurs between relatives, most of which are performed by elders and younger generations when they die. It is a ritual of inheriting power. If interrupted by external forces, the powerful force will cause harm to the weaker side of the two in the resonance. However, if the resonator interrupts by himself, there will be no problem. Therefore, the brave only advised her to put down the devil's horn without forcing her to rob.
"If you weren't just a child, I wouldn't have persuaded you so kindly." Seeing that the girl was not only disobedient, but also hugged the horn in her arms even tighter. The brave man sighed. Sure enough, he was still not good at dealing with children. "Hey, your name is Ainia, right? I remember that the Demon King called you that."
Ainia lowered her head again and ignored the brave. The brave continued to say, "Do you know what consequences will be if you keep holding the horn of the demon king like this? You will slowly absorb the power of the demon king and become the new demon king. Do you want to become the new demon king? I think you'd better keep the status quo. You are just an ordinary child with the blood of the demon king now. I won't do anything to you, but if you become the new demon king, I can only get rid of you for everyone. You won't think you are better than your father and can beat me, right?"
Ania's body was trembling slightly. Although she didn't want to communicate with the brave, she could not really take the brave's words as a wind in her ears. When she heard the brave saying that she would kill herself who became the devil, she couldn't help but remember the scene when her father was killed. Fear controlled her body for a moment and made her tremble uncontrollably.
"Of course, it's useless even if you would rather die than let go of the Demon King's horn." The brave man looked at the magic tower at the end of the other side of the imperial capital, "I brought you to the Emperor Capital to solve this problem. Although I can't take away the Demon King's horn without hurting you, the Sage who has been stationed in the imperial capital must have a way."
"To be honest, I don't think you are like a bad-hearted child. You didn't make a noise or a quarrel all the way. If it weren't for the city now, I was a little worried that you wouldn't be able to control the magic of the Demon King and hurt others. You would have let you go long ago and let you experience the living environment on the human race."
The words of the brave made Ania desperate. For her, this horn is not just a treasure that can make her a new demon king. The reason why she is unwilling to let go of the horn is mainly because it is the relics of her father. Her mother passed away when she didn't remember it. Her father was her only relative in the world. Now even her last relative was killed in front of her. Of course, she wanted to leave something as a memory for herself.
At first, she was arrested by the brave man who was worried about a new demon king because of resonance with the demon king. However, as she got along along the way, Ania had long discovered that although this brave man was merciless to the monster, she had never even heard louder when she spoke to her. She had already seen that the brave man was particularly tolerant of a child like her, so she had hopes to keep her father's relics and never let go and stop the magic resonance, forcing the brave man to not force the demon king to snatch the demon king's horn from her.
But now it seems that her previous efforts were in vain. Although the brave will not use force on her, they are not helpless. No matter how powerful the great sage of human beings is not as good as the devil, it is impossible for a child to be unable to even be able to resonate with the magic power of a child without causing any damage.
"Don't be afraid, the Great Sage will not do anything to you. Even if he discovers the identity of your devil's daughter, no one can do anything to you with my protection."
The brave man looked at the desperate Ainya and thought, after all, I brought you here, and I will definitely protect you from harm.
"I wonder if I will receive the rewards that I have agreed to defeat the devil before..." After I didn't know that Ania was not desperate because of her safety, she couldn't help but start to fantasize about the scene of spending money after getting the reward.
