Contract and the Demon King

December 467, 12 Eastern calendar, night.

Three "the poorest and most vicious fugitives in the history of the city" broke through the entry and exit gate at the outermost edge of the city and left the military city of Karal.The army that had been severely injured in the previous battle was busy suppressing the chaos in the city, and had no spare power to stop them, so they could only watch them "chicly" escape successfully.

Regarding these three "the poorest and most vicious fugitives in the history of the city", the survivors have passed down various stories.Some people say that among the three is a three-meter-tall, muscular man who specially mobilizes little girls to serve as his mission to collect the "chaseness" of little lolitas.Some people say that among the three is a ferocious violent woman. Although she looks like a sweet and cute little loli, she can actually easily lift a heavy armored vehicle with one hand. Her hobby is to tease the ignorant young lady—— There is also the most "beautiful" rumor, that there is a goddess among the three, and there is an indescribable charm in every frown and smile, which makes people feel an inexplicable sense of happiness and peace of mind in their hearts.

Among them, the term "reliable" is not without.However, these rumors that later became the "best scary story" for parents to teach their children have little to do with the three people who were forced to leave the country, and support that "the three people are not invincible monsters, they all look young. , The two girls are very cute, beautiful and cute" There are actually not many people who say this kind of rumor.

As for the "ravaged" border gate, it was once a famous scenic spot in the military city of Karal.In addition to the outermost concealed shield used to protect and conceal Karal, the border gate can be said to be the most defensive building in Karal.Not only does it use the same "wing energy vein structure" and "triple protective layer structure" as the military headquarters, but the materials used as a whole are above the military headquarters that must consider various functions.

But now, the border gate itself has been turned into scrap metal materials, and the forcibly destroyed gate has been burned beyond recognition, distorted and deformed.The only "good news" is that in this "border gate offensive and defensive battle", there were miraculously no martyrs who died heroically on the army side, and there were not even many serious injuries, at most to the extent of severed limbs.

Somewhere in the jungle outside the borders of Caral, the arrival of people has added new traces to the forest.The temperature, which has not been adjusted by the temperature regulation system, is slightly colder, and a fire burning in an open space illuminates the surroundings.It also brings some warmth.

Beside the fire, Ye Yang took out some bread and other dry food from a large dark green travel backpack and handed it to the other two people who were also surrounded by the fire—the backpack contained all the food they had before leaving Karal. "Borrowed" necessities.In addition to some easy-to-carry food and water, there are sleeping bags and other sleeping equipment.

Andos reached out to take the bread and began to eat it, stroking the fur of the cub version of the black wolf with his left hand from time to time.After Yao took the food, he ate it in small bites, and looked thoughtfully at the fire in front of him—to be exact.It was Ye Yang who was sitting opposite and was also eating bread.

The man whom Andos honored as the young master of hell—this black-haired young man who happened to be rescued by Teresa, who helped the orphanage and then caused a lot of damage to the city is now sitting opposite her, and she couldn't help it to care.

"There's nothing you can do if you don't like it," Andos' voice brought Yao back to his senses: "It's impossible to make a big meal out of nowhere in this wilderness, so let's just make do with it."

"No. That's not what I mean." Yao looked at Andos: "In the orphanage, there was a situation where even three meals a day could not be guaranteed. I also know that food is hard to come by, but..."

Yao subconsciously glanced sideways at Ye Yang who was sitting across from him, but unexpectedly met his concerned eyes.

"Lack of appetite? Or feeling unwell?" Ye Yang asked with concern.

"No, I'm fine." Yao avoided Ye Yang's sight: "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"Well, that's it, as long as it's okay." Ye Yangqiang put on a smile that's okay.He continued to nibble on the bread in his hand—the bread that was not freshly baked was even more tasteless at this time.It makes people lose their appetite.

Several hours have passed since breaking through the Karal border.I thought it was a ghostly place full of carnivorous beasts outside the city, but now it seems that this is not the case, and the expected pursuers did not attack.

— But what is the atmosphere like?Why is the line of sight averted?

Ye Yang couldn't think of the reason why he was alienated.In retrospect, this feeling has been vaguely felt since the first two days, but it only became so obvious during the day.He wants to ask.But he couldn't speak.I could only helplessly let time pass by, throwing one or two pieces of firewood picked up nearby into the fire from time to time.

Andos felt a little inexplicable about the awkward atmosphere between the two.Adopted by Captain Moraggos at a young age and grown into an outstanding high-ranking demon, she really can't be called a "slender and fragile" girl.Because when other girls were still talking about "which boy is so handsome" or "what kind of boy is that?" in the Demon Academy, she had already taken up arms.Becoming a member of the Morragos squad - even so, this awkward atmosphere still made Andros feel a little uncomfortable. She felt that there should be some secret between the two that she didn't know, but if she asked directly , These two guys will definitely not say it easily.

"Your Highness, how is your body recovering?"

"Basic activities are no longer a problem," Ye Yang looked at his right hand: "However, the use and output of flames are still very reluctant, far from the normal state."

"Then please stay here and rest, Your Highness and Miss Yao." Andos stood up: "It's hard to say whether this place is safe or not. I'll take a look. Hei Lang will stay and take care of it."

After all, Andos turned around and jumped, and landed lightly on a tree. The cub version of the black wolf lying on the ground narrowed its eyes again after raising its head to watch its master leave—just in case, she Before walking away, he summoned the night crow of the sparrow version, and let it hide in the dark to guard secretly.Originally, it was unwise to keep a distance from the two of them at this time, but she still felt that at this time, they should have a good talk alone.

The awkward atmosphere lasted about 10 minutes.

"That, Yao." Ye Yangqiang put on a relaxed expression and looked at the cherry-haired girl sitting opposite: "You...do you hate me?"

"Eh?"

Yao was obviously a little surprised, but Ye Yang, who had already started, continued:

"If this is just my illusion, then I apologize, but I always feel that you seem to have been avoiding me all this time." Ye Yang smiled bitterly: "Excuse me, what did I do to make you unhappy?" ?"

"That's not the case, Your Highness is not wrong at all," Yao shook his head: "It's better to say, His Highness has helped us a lot so far, thank you very much."

If the attack power of language can be measured, and Ye Yang's hp is 100, then the "thank you" just now caused him about 20 points of damage-but the girl seems to be completely unaware of this, and when facing Ye Yang After Yang's gaze, he unconsciously avoided the other party's gaze.

Ye Yang stopped throwing firewood into the fire, and after hesitating for a while, he finally said something that Andos probably wouldn't have said if he was present:

"I will protect you," he stood up, "no matter what happens to this city, no matter what happens to this world, I will definitely make you happy. If this city blocks you, I will destroy this city .If I become an enemy of the whole world because of this, then I will destroy the world."

This is not a joke, nor is it a lie, but his true thoughts from the heart.He didn't know where this feeling came from, and at this moment, there was no point in pursuing this kind of thing—he just simply said what was in his heart, and acted according to what he thought.

"Your Highness, are you..."

Yao couldn't help opening her eyes wide, she felt that he was really serious, but these words didn't make her feel happy, instead she felt an inexplicable anxiety in her heart.

"Can you...don't use that deliberately distant tone?" Ye Yang walked around the fire and walked in front of Yao: "It doesn't matter if you hate me, so..."

——Stop showing that expression again.

But this sentence was not finished, because as Ye Yang approached, Yao also stood up and took a step back——Ye Yang stopped and met Yao's eyes.

"No, absolutely not..." Yao lost his usual gentleness and calmness, and rarely choked up: "I don't want you to do this at all, so please stop, and leave here with Miss Andos like this."

The unexpected reaction made Ye Yang feel incomprehensible. As soon as he subconsciously took a step forward, Yao took two steps back, which made him feel an indescribable pain in his chest:

"Why? I just want to make you happy. If it's your wish, even if you want the world to be destroyed..."

"This can't work!" Yao's body trembled slightly, some kind of liquid seemed to want to overflow from the corner of her eyes, but she suppressed it: "It's because of this, it's because of you always like this..."

Several "dots" are connected into a "line" at this moment, making a sentence blurted out:

"It's because you are always like this that I hate you so much!"

Ye Yang was stunned.

The defense line of the eyes finally collapsed, leaving crystal tears behind.Yao subconsciously raised the volume, then showed a mixed expression of anger and sadness, and threw the stunned Ye Yang to the ground:

"You who insist on this kind of thinking are absolutely, impossible to make me happy!" (To be continued...)
