People are in the alliance, but the Taiwan server system

"Well...not really..." Lux glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside the window. After hesitating for a moment, she nodded slightly embarrassedly.

"Then...don't play it too late...if Galen finds out, he will be verbose..."

"Galen? I can't tell that he is still the kind of person who likes to be long-winded." Chen Ce smiled and extended his hand to the girl who was bound by family and noble etiquette. "Then it's better if we don't go through the main entrance. No one will know that you sneaked out."

Looking at the outstretched hand, Lux suddenly felt like she was in the girl's story she often peeked into... The bound bird met the soaring eagle, which spread its wings on the windowsill.

She held the hand longingly.

"Sneaking away or something...I think I'm such a bad girl..."

"It's good to be bad. Come on, I'll take you away."

Chen Ce squeezed the girl's warm and soft hand and pulled her to him with a little force.

The latter couldn't help but let out an exclamation.But when she threw herself into the other person's arms, she was so nervous that she couldn't make a sound.

Only Chen Ce gently closed the window and said with a smile while holding the girl over the wall:

"Goodbye, cage..."

"Sister Sona——!"

Duang ~

As soon as she entered the door, Lux rushed forward and hugged Sona enthusiastically - for a moment, a strange voice sounded in the room.

So Lux looked down at herself, then squinted at the other party.

Half of the enthusiasm was instantly replaced by a sour feeling.She asked the other party sourly: "Sister Sona...can you really see your toes when you lower your head?"

Faced with this question, Sona tilted her head in confusion.

[Good evening, little Lux...I don't understand what you're talking about...? ] She gestured in sign language.

"It's okay." Lux continued to stare at the other party's two balls of... snow-white that were at least twice her size.

Chen Ce was holding back his laughter and poured tea for both girls.

One is a small cup and the other is a large cup.

And the English word for cup is...

"Come, drink tea." Chen Ce handed two cups of different sizes to the two girls respectively, "The younger one drinks the smaller one, and the older one drinks the larger one."

"...?" Lux blushed and became a little angry: "Vulgar joke...!"

"Vulgar? What is vulgar?" Chen Ce said innocently, "The younger ones use small cups, and the older ones use larger cups. Is there any problem?"

【reasonable. Sona, who didn't realize the problem, took the tea cup with a smile - she didn't even think there was anything wrong with Chen Ce saying she was older.

Lux blushed, completely blushing, but could not refute.

"Hmph...! Perverted...!"

"Abnormal? What happened to me? Or did you think of something?" Chen Ce said while holding back a smile.

"You...! Sister Sona~~Look at Chen Ce~~!" Lux turned to her gentle elder sister Sona for comfort.

But the latter still looked confused.

【What's wrong...?I don’t seem to understand what you are talking about...]

"It's nothing, it's just that our lovely Miss Lux generated electricity." Chen Ce smiled.

[Oh... I don't understand...] Sona had no idea.

Unknowingly, she shook her plump breasts.

Lux had already been thinking about investigating Sona's daily recipes and habits all night long.

"You...hey...okay, okay, so you can't just bring me here just to let Sister Sona make fun of me, right?" Lux looked at Chen Ce with a look that was half helpless and half resentful.

【Eh……?Am I kidding little Lux...] Sona puffed out her chest in confusion.

Lux's eyes twitched.

"Ahem...well...of course not." Chen Ce withdrew his gaze from comparing the two girls, "I want to tell you something today."

"What's the matter?" Lux asked angrily.

"I would like to ask you to take care of Sona for a while, Miss Lux."

"Eh?"

【Eh? 】

The two girls made confused sounds at the same time.

"Because I'm going to leave Xiongdu for a while." Chen Ce explained, "I'm going to Forsbarrow to carry out a demon search mission... I'm not sure when I will come back. It may be a day or two, or maybe It takes ten days and a half.”

"Forsbyro?" This familiar name suddenly brought back Lux's memory - a not so good memory. "As for the demon search mission...can you tell me what kind of mission it is?"

"I don't know the specifics. The intelligence only said that something suspected of being a black magician appeared there - several innocent people have been killed."

"This..." Lux pursed her lips, "I can help take care of Sister Sona when you are away, but... that place in Forsbarrow... is not safe... you'd better not go there. ”

[Does Little Lux know anything? ] Sona was the only one among the three who didn't understand Fosbairo at all, so she immediately asked in sign language.

"Well..." Lux nodded with difficulty, with a trace of fear in her eyes. "Although I watched that monster go away with my own eyes...but this time's incident may also have something to do with it...that terrible monster..."

【monster?What monster? ] Sona continued to ask curiously.

Lux suddenly fell into a flash of memories.

She remembered everything about that day...that terrible scene...

Countless monsters came towards her... demon-like monsters... some were humanoid, some were animal-shaped...

A demon dog bit Galen's shoulder... The warriors of the Dauntless Vanguard fought hard to resist the monster's attack at that dawn...

Finally...dawn...the sun appeared...those terrible monsters faded away like a tide...

Later... they seemed to never appear again...

But their departure at that time was as strange as their appearance...hard to explain...

that monster...

"They are demons..." Lux swallowed unconsciously, "They will enter dreams when humans are sleeping... They turn into nightmares and haunt everyone in Forsbarrow..."

"They can control human brains... That monster once controlled a child..."

"They sometimes turn into entities and pounce like hungry wolves..."

"I once thought that light could drive them away... But after thinking about it later, I found that I was wrong..."

"They...have almost no weaknesses..."

The more Lux spoke, the more frightened she became, and her lips even trembled a little.

It was clear that she recalled not only everything about that day, but also those horrific nightmares.

It was like listening to an intriguing horror story. At that time, she was able to suppress her inner fear, bravely face those monsters and achieve "victory". However, in the memories of many years to come, the fear buried deep in her heart would only It accumulates deeper and deeper.

She once faced the darkness and saved many people without much fear in her heart - she appeared as "light" and saved that town.

But now, she has clearly achieved "victory", but she is even more afraid of those unspeakable monsters.

"Chen Ce, you can't go... You really can't..." Lux grabbed Chen Ce's hand hard, like a drowning man finding a straw. "Forsbarrow...it's too weird there...I'll go explain the situation to His Majesty the King! The best solution is for the residents of Forsbarrow to move to a safe place...!"

"But I think the devil is not entangled with a piece of wasteland, but with the people on the ground." Chen Ce shook his head - if it was really Nocturne, then it would be useless for people to flee - Nocturne's ultimate move is to use Come to "find enemies"...

"It's too dangerous there...!" Lux almost screamed.

The fear that was rediscovered deep in her heart put her on the verge of losing control - the kind of instinctive fear.It's like an animal encountering a natural enemy.

Seeing this, Chen Ce quickly reached out and rubbed the girl's head as a comfort.

At the same time, he released a hint of demonic power to peer into her heart.

I can't let Lux remember it anymore... I can just take a look at it myself...

The thing she feared...the shadow...about Nocturne...

Chen Ce caught a glimpse of some blurry pictures.It flashed by.

These details may be the key to victory.

At the same time, Sona's soothing piano sound sounded, soothing Lux's frightened heart.

The "voice" of magic entered Chen Ce's mind along with the sound of the piano: [Little Lux looks very tired, maybe she needs to rest... We can't force her anymore. 】

"Yes." Chen Ce nodded, "I'll bother you to stay here alone these days... Lux will come regularly to deliver supplies and ensure your safety."

[We can’t trouble little Lux anymore...]

"I know, so—"

[I mean...] Sona interrupted Chen Ce, [I don’t need little Lux to take care of me. 】

"Then you are alone...?" Chen Ce was puzzled.

[It seems you haven’t understood yet, Mr. Chen Ce...] Sona’s lips curved into a smile, and her eyebrows revealed touching tenderness.

【I mean...I want to go with you. 】

[I have also fought against demons before, I have experience. 】

[I can help you, Mr. Chen Ce~]

A figure walked out of the darkness quietly.

Behind her is a deep, dark forest, and in front of her is a depressed town-Forsbarrow?It seems to be called this name... I don't know. At that time, this place was just a high mountain wasteland.

Her face was covered with a delicate veil, and she was wearing a pure black backless gown - as black as her long hair.sleeveless.The lower body is a long skirt, but there are openings on the left and right sides, and the slender white thighs are vaguely visible.

Her ears were different from those of ordinary people—they were like those of the legendary elves, pointed and pierced from the tips of her thick black hair.Her eyes always glowed with a strange light... dark purple, like some kind of "evil witchcraft" of a black magician.There are also strange "tattoos" under both eyes that look like tear stains.

She walked towards the town ahead, but did not enter.She stopped in front of a crowded place without letting anyone notice her.

She only looked at the human town from a distance.

She smelled something bad - it wasn't the first time.

She didn't take action the first two times, but this time, she could no longer sit idly by.

Even though she has suffered a heavy infamy in this kingdom.

Even though she is regarded as the opposite of "justice and law".

Even though...the wings behind her have been locked with chains.

"Poor people..."

Chapter 83 Use nightmares to defeat nightmares

In the end, Chen Ce took Sona with him.

As for Lux... although she also wants to follow, her condition is really not suitable for fighting - the seeds of fear that Nocturne buried in her heart have gradually sprouted - she will feel extremely frightened just thinking about it, and when they face each other face to face I'm afraid it's worse.

This is one of the reasons.

Well... the main reason is because...

Chen Ce can only guarantee one person's safety [-]%.

Although he had a certain understanding of Nocturne, it was only based on some "stories", not to mention that it was the Nocturne of the past... As for the current Nocturne, he was not sure of its strength.

So three situations arise:

In the first situation, Nocturne's strength is not that great and he can easily deal with it - this is naturally the best situation.

In the second case, Nocturne is of average strength and you can defeat it, but you cannot prevent it from hurting others with its weird abilities - this is the second best situation. In this case, you need to use the desperate situation of reincarnation to drag Nocturne directly to the underworld. Pressing and hitting inside can also ensure the safety of others.

In the third situation, Nocturne is so powerful that he falls into a disadvantage and naturally has no time to protect others. This is the worst situation. At this time, you need to use the desperate situation of reincarnation to take your "teammates" to the underworld to find them. Mordekaiser drank tea, chatted, and took refuge.

And if he brings Sona and Lux ​​with him at the same time, then at least one of them will be left outside.

That definitely won't work.

So taking only one person is the most conservative plan.
