The Brave Girl and the Great Demon King

Chapter 18 025: Blank and Genius Invitation

By the time Alicia regained consciousness, it was already dark, and she didn't know which corner she had walked to. There was silence around her, only the sound of dripping liquid, which was the head of a demon caught in her hand. , The blood that was about to coagulate made a heavy and slow sound of blood flowing.

Alicia didn't know if it was the monster who talked to her just now, she lifted it up to her eyes, then threw it down casually, staring at the head rolling down into the corner, Alicia didn't know What kind of mood should she express now, it doesn't matter whether she is happy or disappointed, there is only a deep feeling of bewilderment.

The demon's words were like a small stone thrown into her blank mind, stirring up the memory fragments deposited at the bottom, reminding her of a person, a young man with pale blond hair named Leander, although she hadn't recalled it yet. Who was that person? Alicia knew that it was a very, very important person, even more important than her own life, but she was lost in a corner with unknown life and death.

You shouldn't have killed that monster before asking.Alicia thought regretfully.

At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps from behind the wall over there, and then a person appeared, raised his hand from a distance and said, "I am a human being, and I have no malicious intentions."

It sounded like a familiar voice, and when the man came out of the shadows, he could recognize that it was Leo Donaldson who had seen him once or twice.

"What's the matter?" Alicia watched for a long time, then slowly retracted her weapon.

"We are organizing the rest of the people to take refuge here, do you want to come here?" Leo said simply and directly.

Even if it is not a particularly prosperous big city, there are still nearly 500 million people here. If a few refuge ships are rushed out, they will definitely not be able to accommodate everyone. Coupled with the interference of dead air and poor communication, only those who can really get on the ship It can be a very small number of lucky ones, and most of the remaining people can only actively carry out various forms of self-seeking. It should be the most common way to unite and hug each other like this.

Without thinking about it for too long, Alicia nodded in agreement. After agreeing on the gathering place, she said goodbye to Leo, and she had to go back to the stronghold to pick up Raphael.

"It's dangerous at night, I'll go with you." Leo said courteously.

"No need." Alicia firmly refused, stood up leaning on the holy sword, slapped the card instrument, activated the flight card, and quietly disappeared into the night.

Leo looked with his hands up, jumped off the wall where he was squatting, stretched his waist in the moonlight and said, "What an interesting task."

Because there is no need to rush, Alicia flies very cautiously, suppressing the magic fluctuations caused by the activation of the card to the weakest. When encountering unavoidable situations, she often has to put away the cards early and climb over silently to avoid The route where the monsters haunted, one maintained such a cautious state, and returned to the temporary stronghold without any danger.

The room was unexpectedly calm, with no movement at all. Just when Alicia thought that the person and the demon had left, she suddenly felt as if she had stepped on something soft. When she looked down, she saw the priest with his eyes open. Lie on the floor in a daze, motionless.

Alicia was startled, quickly drew out the holy sword, and looked around cautiously. After waiting for a while, she didn't see anything unusual. Then she squatted down and carefully stretched out her hand to explore. The priest's breathing was steady and long , showing no signs of injury.

"What, what about the demon?" Alicia patted Raphael and asked.

"...Let's go." It took a long time to hear Raphael's listless voice.

"What's wrong with you?" Alicia asked again.

"...I have lost my purpose in life." After the same long wait, the same listless voice replied.

Alicia suddenly felt a little speechless, and immediately became impatient. She stabbed Raphael's back with the hilt of her sword and urged, "Get up, I'm leaving here."

Probably Alicia's words hit Raphael too hard. This battle priest's mental state was extremely depressed. He got up slowly, walked slowly, and was knocked by the legs of the sofa and the edge of the table from time to time. Stumbling and bumping for a while, the dejected look is like a big dog that has lost its beloved bones. It is stupid and stupid, and it is extremely pitiful.

With a sick Raphael, Alicia still walked carefully to the place agreed with Leo.

Leo was still squatting at the high place he liked, waving to Alicia from a distance as a greeting, but in the hidden alley below, there were more than a dozen people scattered in twos and threes, and they should all be summoned for the same reason up people.

Alicia looked up, she said hello, she didn't say anything, she chose a corner to stand still, and saw someone squeezed out from the shadow over there, dancing and shouting excitedly: "Sister Head, big sister head!"

The only one who calls her that is the big black guy from Qingdaomen, Alicia thought, looking back, she really saw Heizi waving his hands vigorously, and he didn't care how others complained, he was still stubborn without knowing it. Squeezed over, ran until Alicia stopped scratching his head, laughed for a while, and cried for a while.

"What?" Alicia asked.

There were four or five people who came with Heizi, all of whom were strong and strong men. They seemed to be the same group from the Qingdaomen who had somehow come together again, but they were not among the crowd. Didn't see Ash and Charles that Alicia knew.

"Big sister head." With just that cry, Heizi burst into tears, pulled his sleeves and wiped his eyes, sobbing and said, "What should we do? The boss is dead, the second child was killed, young master I'm about to die too..."

The boss and the second in Heizi's mouth are all the gangsters from before Qingdaomen, the boss Henry who was killed by the second, and the second John who was assassinated by the young master, and the young master has had several contacts with Alicia Ash.

"What?" Alicia asked again. Seeing that the big black man was crying and couldn't explain clearly, she casually pointed to the other person next to her, "Say it."

Things are actually not complicated.

After losing two big bosses one after another, Qingdaomen has actually existed in name only. The gangsters who lost the gang gradually gathered around Ash, but their luck was not good. The outpost was within the range of the first wave of attack by the monster army, and there were only a few people who escaped by chance. Ash was also injured in that attack, and was soon corroded by death energy, unable to move. , People from Leo's side came to call, so Ash asked Heizi to bring people over, while he and Charles remained where they were.

"Why don't you come here together, the erosion of dead energy can be eliminated?" Hearing such a thing, Raphael gradually came back to his senses, and seeing that Alicia had no intention of blocking it, he asked boldly.

"They only want... young adults." Heizi hiccupped from crying.

Seeing the conversation here, Leo jumped down from a high place, and said: "There is no way, there is not enough material, and we can't take care of all the residents. We can only give the opportunity to those who have a higher chance of survival."

"Fight?" Alicia asked. Seeing that Leo didn't say anything, she changed another way of saying, "Escape? Cross the boundary river?"

"Shhh." Leo pointed his fingers up, making a silent movement, and said quietly, "You can't say that, or you will really be scared and riot."

Since the drastic changes in the era of faults, the human continent has been divided into countless isolated small pieces of different sizes, each piece is called a realm, and each realm is surrounded by a dangerous area connected to the turbulent flow of time and space , that is the Boundary River, the only way to safely cross the Boundary River is to take the upper Boundary River, which is a fixed link between different realms.

Entering from the upper world and going out from the lower world, the boundary river is like an invisible thread connecting these big and small worlds. It is firmly and irregularly connected and presented on the earth, as if it is like a random series of creations, with each other. The geographical location between them has no relationship at all, so it often happens that geographically adjacent to each other, between the two realms separated by a strip of water, they have to float along the boundary river and fly through several irrelevant realms in order to arrive at the place that was visible at a glance. What a sight to see, a very magical sight.

In the travel between the two worlds, the most common way is to take a high-class spaceship, which is safe but relatively slow; then there are many restrictions on magic teleportation, which is very fast almost instantly, but the disadvantage is that it is expensive and prone to accidents, and The number of teleporters is rare, so it is only suitable for small-scale teleportation in emergency situations; the last and most dangerous way is to cross the boundary river, which is often called a suicidal adventure, with extremely high risks and high mortality rates. For ordinary people, it is basically It was a horror unimaginable even in nightmares.

Even if it was her own conjecture, Alicia couldn't help but blinked in surprise, "Is it really that bad?"

"There is no public information yet. Recently, we have suffered successive defeats. The front line is under great pressure. It is impossible to have reinforcements here in a short period of time. After a few months, the magic food grass will completely take root. Even if there is no demon clan to kill, humans The more we can't survive here, so - this city, this world, is going to be abandoned, if we want to survive, we can only rely on ourselves." Leo's slow tone made everyone who heard it couldn't help but He took a deep breath, shocked and terrified.

Alicia suddenly asked, "Why are you here?"

"Protect the sudden visit of Prince Stuart, I didn't expect to encounter such a bad thing." Leo replied straightforwardly.
