Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

"Aren't you going to take it?"

Is that thing a gas tank?

Virgil, who was a little worried about whether Dante was cheating himself, hesitated a little.

"You don't know about gas tanks, do you? But think about it, Virgil, you really don't have enough time to live in modern society."

Realizing something, Dante rubbed his chin, his expression became menacing.

So Yan Modao slightly unsheathed the next moment.

"Okay, okay, it's just a small joke, you take the gas tank over first, and talk slowly in a while, Jiang Ming should also listen to it. Or should I get it?"

Dante, who smiled and sighed, got up and walked to the corner of the yard, ready to pick up the gas tank.

Then, one step ahead of him, Virgil pressed his finger on the gas tank, stopping Dante from moving.

"Don't get in the way."

With an indifferent expression, Virgil was about to pick up the gas tank.

drip - hiss -

Then because I used a little more force, I don't know where it touched the top of the gas tank, the gas tank suddenly made a light sound, and then there was a continuous "hissing" sound, which made Virgil's movements stiff .

"You seem to have touched the air valve, um, it will leak."

Dante hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"To shut up."

Virgil is really on fire now.

What the hell is this gas tank? What's the matter with the gas leak? I obviously didn't touch anything.

Somewhat brave, Virgil reached out to grab the gas tank again, trying to hold down the place where the sound came from.

"hiss--!!!"

Then somehow it seemed to break a pipe, so the sound became louder.

"Hey, if you don't understand this thing, don't touch it."

Dante on the side couldn't stand it any longer.

"You have five seconds to disappear from my sight."

Virgil's face was so dark that it was about to drip water.

Hiss--

The sound of the gas tank leaking was getting louder and louder.

"If this goes on like this, you will lose all your breath. Don't be childish, don't you want to give Jiang Ming an empty jar."

"How ridiculous, Dante, that a fellow like you calls me childish?"

"Huh, isn't it? Baby Virgil, the guy who's huddled under the covers because of a ghost story."

"Oh, is that so? After watching a horror movie, Dante was afraid of the dark and would be scared to cry, so he insisted on sleeping with his parents all night."

Then as a matter of course, the two brothers suddenly digressed.

"Virgil!"

The magic sword emerged from Dante's hand.

"Dante!"

Yan Modao came out of its sheath suddenly, sparking a spark.

boom--

Then amidst the explosion of the gas tank, and the bewildered expressions of Jiang Ming, Gu Mingdijue and Xiao Wei who looked up at the same time in the kitchen, it was Dante and Virgil who were on fire and flew into the sky together and fell on the ground. On the dirt path outside the kitchen.As for the other side of the courtyard, it was now covered by flames, and the black smoke rose to a height of tens of meters.

"Meet you again, Jiang Ming, it seems that I'm just in time for dinner again this time."

Dante, who was still burning, sat up with a playful smile and greeted Jiang Ming in the kitchen window.

Behind Dante, Virgil stood up with a black face and drew his sword, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

As for the reason why the gas tank was not brought over, whether it was the accidental injury caused by the conflict between Dante and Virgil, or some other reason, Jiang Ming was completely unclear.It's just that on that day, Gu Ming suddenly laughed for some reason, then quickly closed his mouth, and went back to his room holding back his laughter.

Then, it was about the power of attorney that Dante took out after going to a restaurant near the office for lunch with everyone.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The commission brought by Dante came from an old friend of his, a middleman named Enzo.

What happened to this middleman named Enzo is not important. In short, this commission was first received by Dante.Later, because of some important information revealed in this commission, after thinking about it, Dante decided to come to Virgil and let him know about it.

By the way, grab a meal or something.

"The origin of the devil world?"

Jiang Ming frowned and flipped through the copies of the entrusted materials.

The precise issuer of this commission is actually a large commission issued by the Containment Control Center to all mercenaries in the G star field.

The content is very simple, it is to assist the containment control center to crusade against demons, and the crusade is mainly at the level of demon lords.The Containment Control Center seems to have a great interest in these creatures from Dante Virgil's universe and living in a unique space. It seems that they also have the idea of ​​​​trying to mass-produce magic equipment, so they decided to send personnel and at the same time hire A large number of masters will first destroy most of the living forces in the Demon Realm.

Just looking at the entrustment itself, it's actually like this, it's not a big deal.

Although as far as Dante knows, not all the demons in hell are keen to invade the human world, and there are relatively benevolent species that can coexist peacefully with humans.However, the demon tree incident in Red Grave City caused too many casualties and the impact was too bad. In addition, demons can transform into powerful weapons such as magic tools, so a crusade is inevitable.

In other words, it can be considered a revenge or a robbery.

Dante has already accepted this commission. First, demons invade the human world from time to time. It is indeed a good idea to attack these restless guys with absolute power. Demons, Dante was able to identify and protect them.Because he is a well-known S-class mercenary, Dante was able to directly negotiate with the person in charge of the containment control center, and he made these two points straightforward.

It is said that some personnel from the containment control center and a considerable number of mercenaries who participated in the entrusted negotiations at the venue expressed dissatisfaction with Dante's second requirement, and believed that the demons should be completely exterminated, and then the Demon World should be used as a new development. The area was occupied and constructed, but after Dante showed his true devil aura for a while, these people quickly calmed down, and the terms of the commission were also appropriately changed according to Dante's ideas.

"In a sense, these demons are actually very lucky. If they were integrated into this universe five years in the morning, instead of a group of people sitting down and discussing whether they deserve to die, a group of Star Alliance troops would go up and slaughter them. .”

This is Dante's evaluation of this after the fact.

"By the way, Dante, you actually fight for the devil's interests."

Jiang Ming was a little surprised.

The mother of the two brothers died at the hands of the devil. Under such a blood feud, Jiang Ming could still calmly treat the devil differently. This was the first time Jiang Ming discovered the strength of Dante.

"I have encountered a lot of demons in the years of being a mercenary and opening an office. Apart from those with low IQs, they know how to eat people and kill people. Yes, it’s not really a bad guy, I still don’t know what kind of enemy I should point my sword at.”

To which Dante just smiled and answered.

"You came here just to say that?"

Virgil was getting impatient.

"Of course it's more than that. It's just that I'm not interested in coming to you."

Dante shrugged.

"So, what exactly happened?"

Jiang Ming asked a little curiously.

"It's about the preliminary detection results of their detectors provided by the Containment Control Center."

Dante dumped two copies of the entrusted documents to Jiang Ming and Virgil.

The content on the entrusted information is the information about the demon world released by the containment and control center to the mercenaries who have accepted the entrustment.

According to the previous investigations, the Containment Control Center has divided the different demons distributed in the demon world in a very detailed manner, and even recorded the activity habits and fighting methods of many demons, which is obviously quite sufficient work.

Not only that, in addition to the domains ruled by various powerful demons, the ruined palace where the former Demon Emperor Mondes was located, and a large barren area in the Demon World, the containment and control center is also in the central area of ​​the Demon World, in its underground area. something.

That area was named [The Origin of the Demon World].

According to the analysis of the researchers of the Containment Control Center, the Devil Realm itself is a small space attached to the main universe of Dante's world, which is equivalent to the sub-universe.This small space should be initially composed of the energy and matter dissipated during the formation of the main universe.In the process of the complete formation of the Demon Realm, these substances and energies have undergone great changes, and some of them have settled down and been buried at the bottom of the Demon Realm, a place like an abyss.

After the detectors of the containment and control center managed to enter the underground area, they discovered that there are extremely ancient civilization ruins in the bottom area located about 60 kilometers below the ground level of the Demon Realm and beyond a large number of gravity distortion points.

After judging, these ruins have a history of hundreds of millions or even billions of years, and it seems that it is because of the existence of certain supernatural rules in the demon world that they have not completely dissipated and destroyed.These civilization relics were eventually judged to be the civilizations established by the early demons, but because the demon world in that period often experienced various drastic material and energy changes, it eventually led to the end of destruction.

But the current problem is not just that.

After Jiang Ming flipped through some information pictures of the [The Origin of the Demon World] area, he immediately noticed a huge, horned human-shaped demon sculpture with a big sword in his hand that stands out among these architectural relics.

Statue of Spellblade Sparda.

"how is this possible?"

Virgil said in a low voice, rarely showing a shocked expression.

"That's the fact. In the ruins of the prehistoric civilization of the Demon Realm billions of years ago, a statue of our father appeared."

Dante took a deep breath before speaking.

"The detectors of the Containment Control Center can't go deep into that area. According to them, there are very terrible magic power fluctuations in the ruins, and there are some monsters that are difficult to judge whether they are demons or other things. This statue they It was only photographed from a distance, and it was impossible to observe it up close. It was like... how should I put it, it was like the monsters in the ruins were protecting that area and not allowing anything to get close."

No matter how laughing and joking he usually is, when he really needs to get serious, Dante calms down immediately.

"If this is indeed a statue of Sparta, then we must make this trip."

Putting down the documents in his hand, Virgil raised his head and became resolute.

Decades ago, his brother disappeared mysteriously in his childhood, leaving only his wife and two children, the legendary demon Sparta.It was because of his leaving without saying goodbye that when the devil attacked, the two brothers had to face the pain of their mother's tragic death and their helplessness.But now, the father whom the two brothers love and hate, who has not been able to find any whereabouts so far, suddenly has such news, in a demon ruins billions of years ago.

As Virgil said, from the moment this photo came into their hands, no matter what, it was impossible for them to ignore this commission, and they would definitely go for a walk.

"Where's Nero? Did you tell him about it?"

Thinking of something, Jiang Ming suddenly asked.

"This is a matter between us brothers. I didn't tell him, but I'm not sure if he has received the entrustment."

Dante shook his head.

"It's his grandfather no matter what, so you should tell. You two and Nero are having some conflicts. If this kind of family matter excludes him from joining, it will probably make him more resentful and angry. After all You are a family connected by blood."

After thinking about it for a while, Jiang Ming said sincerely.

"...If he doesn't make trouble, you can also talk to him."
