The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

Of course, this is just Alice's idea. In fact, Alice still thinks that there must be another reason for the Lolita Demon King to hide. Thinking of the complex expression of the Lolita Demon King when he mentioned Ai Ni, Alice suddenly suspected that the first generation of Demon King He and Annie must have known each other before—before they became Demon Lords and Heroes respectively.

"The devil's name... To be honest, I don't know either. Since she appeared, she seems to have never said her name. Everyone calls her 'the devil', as if this is her real name."

Ani scratched her head in embarrassment, she didn't expect that she would not be able to answer the first question Alice asked, "Some people used to wonder if her name would really be 'Devil King' or something, although this idea Ridiculous, but we've also tried some curse spells on real names, and it didn't work."

"Does there really exist magic to curse with names?"

Although it was a bit disappointing not to get the name of the first generation demon king from Aini, Milia still learned some surprising information from her—that is, tens of thousands of years ago, it seemed that there really existed a demon king with his real name. Cursed magic.

There are also many magics in this world that can use real names as casting materials. For example, as Alice knows, the church has a large-scale magic called "Sacred Names", which can increase the power of the brave by proclaiming the real name of the sword of the brave. The sword's lethality against dark attribute magic and demons. Before, Father Cassandra of the Gryffin Church in Mana City would ask Alice the real name of the sword of the brave, just to let the church cast this magic.

However, most of the currently known magics involving real names are innocuous enhancements and the like, and the magic of "Blessing of the Holy Name" has a more obvious effect because of the help of the church. Other magic effects of the same type Trivial, so few people use it.

There have been rumors before that there were many special and long-lost magics in ancient times, such as directly cursing people with their real names—it is precisely because of these rumors that many people think that ancient magic must be very strong , causing some people to blindly pursue ancient magic.

Originally, Alice and others thought it was just a rumor caused by people's curiosity about unknown things tens of thousands of years ago. I didn't expect to hear Ani's words. It seemed that in her era, it was possible to use real names to treat people. Cursed magic?

"Yes, 'real name' is a very special element of magic. The gods also told me that the 'rule of real name' is very important, so there are many magics that use real names as materials."

Ani was a little puzzled by the performance of Alice and the others, and said suspiciously, "Don't you have such magic in this era? It shouldn't be, this type of magic should be very common, shouldn't it be lost? I thought You should have developed this kind of magic quite advanced."

"Real name rules..."

Alice also noticed something from Annie's words, she frowned, "Although there are indeed some magics that rely on real names to activate, but the effects are very poor, so it has long been considered mainstream, not like you said so common."

After hearing Alice's words, Annie seemed to finally understand. She looked at Alice and said:

"You mean...the real name rule might have been broken as well?"

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

If the real name rules have also been violated, then the only thing that can damage the rules is the power of the demon king—Alice and the others have always thought that the first generation of demon kings used the power of the demon king to destroy the rules, and the first to bear the brunt should be the rules of magic power , but now it seems that the real name rule should be the first to be violated.

Thinking about it, the power of the devil claims to be able to destroy the rules of the entire world. In the end, it took tens of thousands of years to destroy a magic rule, but it has not been completely destroyed. All the important rules of the world are broken all over, and it will not take tens of thousands of years or 10,000+ years.

But if it is said that tens of thousands of years ago, the first generation of demon kings directly destroyed a rule with the power of the power of the demon king, so that the power of the demon king was somewhat weak in the follow-up, which is understandable—perhaps the full power of the complete power of the demon king is indeed true. A rule can be smashed quickly, but the power of the incomplete Demon King is much worse.

Although there are still some magics that can use real names as materials to cast spells, it means that the real name rules have not been broken to the last dregs, but compared with the situation in Aini's mouth, the real name rules have been obviously broken. It is only one step away from being completely destroyed, and it is almost completely forgotten by the world.

"Why did the first demon king break the real name rule first?"

Realizing that the first rule that the first demon king broke was actually the real name rule, Ai Ni’s tone was a bit unbelievable. Although she had fought the first demon king, she couldn’t understand the original demon king’s intentions at all, “If she wants to destroy the world, It should be to destroy the rules of magic power first, right?"

Tens of thousands of years ago, magic power was already the cornerstone of civilization. If a large number of things that rely on magic power were born, if the rules of magic power were destroyed, the civilization of many races would collapse into ruins in an instant, and then their living conditions would also be destroyed. It will be a huge blow, maybe even some large beasts can't be dealt with.

And at that time, the first-generation demon king with the power of the demon king could use the demonization ability of the power of the demon king to strengthen a large number of wild beasts for driving. It is not too easy to destroy the whole world—but even so, that guy still chose First destroy the real name rules, and finally lose in the battle and be sealed by Aini.

"...The first demon king seems to have an inexplicable sense of resistance to his own name."

Alice frowned and thought for a while, and found that the first demon king seemed to be deliberately hiding her name—the reason why Ai Ni’s name was unknown was simply because there were not many records in the past, and the name of the first demon king was unknown. As everyone knows, it was obviously deliberately covered up by her.

The very obvious contrast is that the first demon king obviously knew Aini's name, but Aini didn't know the name of the first demon king at all, and she didn't know what the name meant to the first demon king, so she would not hesitate to break the real name rule .

"Perhaps the answer can be obtained after finding out the name of the first generation demon king."

Alice thought about it for a while, and really couldn't figure out why the first demon king was so resistant to her name, so she simply didn't want to think about it—anyway, the part of the soul that represented humanity stripped out by the first demon king is now in her own hands. Time to find a way to restore her memory, and then she will be able to know the thoughts of the first demon king.

"It's not easy to find the name of the first demon king. The origin of that guy has always been mysterious. I heard that she was originally a human being, but because of some special reasons, she developed a feeling of hatred towards humans, so she turned into that madman. of."

Aini also sighed when she said this, and it seems that she is quite emotional about the experience of the first generation of the devil-to be selected as the first generation brave by the white-haired loli god, although Ai Ni is a village girl, her heart is definitely a saint , "I still wanted to try to communicate with her in words to see if I could resolve the misunderstanding."

Obviously, in Aini's era, people didn't know enough about the devil king, so the view that "the first generation devil king became like that because he hated humans" was just a guess, until several devil kings appeared later, this Guessing was only confirmed by people, and it has almost become common knowledge until now.

"The results of it?"

Although she could probably guess the ending in her heart, Andusia couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it failed. That guy didn't want to talk to me at all. Every time he saw me, he would attack me without saying a word, as if talking to me would hurt her."

Ai Ni complained a little depressingly, no matter how good a person is, he would feel dissatisfied with such treatment, "Sometimes my comrades can shout at her, but every time I talk to her, As if a signal for war, she attacked without saying a word."

"That's really miserable... It's better to say that being hated has become like this, the behavior of the first generation of devils seems a bit weird."

Emilia was a little bit dumbfounded for a while. It is understandable if the first generation demon king is unwilling to communicate with everyone, but according to what Aini said, Aini's comrades can fight against the first generation devil king a few times. It was a trash talk, but when Ai Ni opened her mouth, the first demon king ignored her, which seemed a little abnormal instead.

"In fact, we already have some clues about the name of the first demon king, and we also know what the name can do. Maybe we can learn from it why the first demon king hated humans in the first place, and we can also know why she first Break the real name rule."

Because Ai Ni is the first generation of brave, although it is inconvenient for Alice to tell her about the soul of the Lolita Demon King, most of the information can still be explained to her, "According to the information we have obtained before, the first generation of the Demon King has recorded the first discovery. The origin is in the Yimir Kingdom."

"According to the name of your era, it should be within the territory of Hans."

Luna added on the side, because Aini lived tens of thousands of years ago, she must not know where the Yimir Kingdom refers to, so she also said the former name of that area, "Hans Kingdom once had statistics The behavior of the population data, so from those statistics, we may be able to find out the name of the first demon king as a human being."

"Huh...? Is the place where the first demon king first appeared was the country of Hans?"

However, what surprised Alice and the others was that Annie actually showed some reactions to the place name of Hans Country. She scratched her head, pointed at herself a little embarrassedly and said, "I am also from Hans Country."

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

The first-generation hero and the first-generation devil came from the same country. This is an interesting secret. At least so far, Alice has never heard of it, and from the performance of Luna and the others, it is obvious that they used to Never heard of such a thing.

Of course, not to mention Luna and the others, even Aini herself didn't seem to realize that she and the first demon king were from the same country. After all, she was busy fighting against the first demon king and her group of demonized soldiers. , how can I have time to care about where the hometown of the first demon king is.

If Alice and the others hadn't mentioned this matter, I'm afraid Ani would still not know that the hometown of the first demon king is actually the same country as her own, and only later generations would have nothing to do to study these ancient people People who are really living in the era of being harassed by the first generation of demon kings don't have the energy.

However, it doesn’t seem to mean that the first generation of heroes and the first generation of devils come from the same country. After all, the scope of a country is still very large. Just like if you have to say it, Alice and Luna can also be counted as the Gryffin Kingdom. Yes, but the two of them didn't communicate much before revealing their identities.

"Speaking of which, Aini, do you want to leave here with us?"

Although I haven't gotten any more clues from Aini yet, Alice has already begun to consider whether to take Aini away as well—after all, Ani has many ways to deal with the first generation of demon kings in her mind. If she were to tell Alice now, it would probably take months.

That being the case, why not take Aini away directly? When you need her experience against the first-generation devil, just ask her to explain it on the spot. It can be automatically retrieved and analyzed, which is simply not very easy to use-it just sounds a bit tool-like.

"Get out of here..."

Aini's eyes seemed a little confused. She kept her soul at the beginning to ensure that if something went wrong with the seal of the first generation demon king, a new brave man could find her and ask her to provide the new brave man with some information about the first generation demon king's seal. Information about the Demon King, so that the world will not continue to be devastated by the first Demon King.

As for leaving here, she really didn't think about it. After all, she was already a dead person. Although she saved her soul with the help of her partner, no matter what, her memory was already an antique tens of thousands of years ago. It has long been out of touch with modern times.

Even when communicating with Alice and the others, she could clearly notice a slight change in the language spoken by her and the others—if it wasn’t for the fact that the change hadn’t been so great that they changed the language, it is estimated that the communication between them would be a little bit different. It was interrupted directly because of the language barrier.

"If you're willing to leave, Alice can get you a new body."

Milia smiled and said to Aini, "Although I don't know if you can reshape the body in your era... but now alchemy has developed to the point where it can make a body that can hold the soul, and the problem of raw materials has long been solved. Ellie Si also knows a high-level alchemist, as long as you open your mouth, you can come back to life, live again."

Although Milia is not interested in reshaping the body, she has also learned a lot about modern magic through the magic net, so she naturally knows that modern alchemy can already create a body that perfectly accommodates the soul.

And after she found out about this, she also talked to Alice, and then found out that Alice had already done this kind of thing, and the hero Christine of the previous generation was resurrected by her in this way— — It’s just that the body has become a little smaller, but it doesn’t hinder Christine’s ability to display her strength.

As for the raw materials, it is no longer a problem now. The production of the Seed of Nature has been solved by Alice, and even Alice herself has a spare Seed of Nature that has not been used yet. If Annie is willing If it is resurrected, then Alice naturally doesn't mind contributing this seed of nature.

"Resurrection..."

Ai Ni sighed, "In our era, the magic of retaining the soul was already a very profound thing, and alchemy was still a relatively new magic discipline, and the best alchemists also made some magic props. It’s really impossible to create a human body... Didn’t you think that alchemy has developed to this point?”

For tens of thousands of years, the changes in magic made Ani feel unbelievable. If she followed Alice and the others to leave here, she would definitely see a lot of novel things.

"But forget it, even if I am resurrected, I can't help you much... When I sealed the Demon King, I consumed not only vitality, but also magic power. Even if I resurrect now If you come here, you will probably be no different from ordinary people, so don't waste your energy."

Although she was a little moved, Annie finally shook her head and rejected Alice and the others' kindness, "If I need to provide information about the first-generation devil king, I will help. If you can really get rid of the first-generation devil king, then I My only wish will come true, and I, a person who should have died a long time ago, can also leave safely... Brian has already left me more than 1 years ago, and I should have left with him long ago."

As she said that, Aini turned her head and glanced at the pile of bone fragments next to which she could barely see the bones. Naturally, she could guess that this was left by her comrade-in-arms Brian.

In their era, soul magic was quite advanced magic. Brian made Ani's body into a sword box and kept Ani's soul, but it was impossible for Brian to make his own body into a sword box after his death. The soul container, so Brian's soul cannot be preserved, it must have dissipated long ago.

"Take away my sword box and Brian's wreckage... There is no need to make a new body for me, and I can only provide you with a little information."

Aini shook her head with a smile, and said, "I hope that after you have dealt with the first demon king, you can bury my sword box and Brian's remains in the village of Rocorona in the Kingdom of Hans - that's my hometown, and it's also my hometown." The first step of our team to defeat the Demon King, if there is no accident, the rest of our team will be buried there, although I don’t know the name of the place now, but you should be able to investigate it easily.”

"……I understand."

Alice also saw that Annie really didn't have any intention of resurrecting with a new body, so she could only nod her head and agreed to her request.

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

Luna took out a small box from her bag, and put Brian's wreckage in it—as Alice's maid, Luna can be said to carry a lot of spare props with her. It is filled with all kinds of things for emergencies, and it can be taken out of it directly when Alice needs it, which is very convenient.

Of course, there are boxes and other things in Luna's bag, so she put Brian's remains in the box, and then took the sword box attached to Annie's soul, and opened it from the space rift that Alice had just cut. Walked out of this independent space, and prepared to put the box containing Brian's remains first.

As the first-generation hero, Ai Ni can naturally satisfy her requirements as much as possible. After Luna leaves here, she is naturally planning to contact the intelligence department of the Gryffindor Kingdom and ask them to investigate the history of the Hans Kingdom tens of thousands of years ago. Where exactly is Rocorona Village now?

Even if the specific location of a village cannot be found because of the long history, the burial site of the teammates of the first generation of heroes must be somewhat famous. By then, it will be possible to investigate the location of Rocorona Village directly through this method. Location.

At worst, you can find the place where Aini's comrades are buried. Even if it is not Rocorona Village, Aini should be able to accept it. After all, she just wants to take Brian's remains and be buried with her comrades in the It's all together, even if it wasn't the Rocorona village that was the starting point, the problem wouldn't be too big.

However, although Luna left this independent space with the sword box that Annie's soul was attached to and the box containing Brian's remains, Alice did not leave immediately, she still stayed in this space, Milia and Andusia were still by her side, and they had no intention of leaving with Luna.

Luna also knew what Alice wanted to do, so she continued to talk with Ani's soul consciously when she left. The content of the conversation was about some situations in Rocorona Village - because it was related to her future burial position, so Ai Ni naturally knew everything, and she didn't realize that Alice was not following.

"Okay, Ai Ni is no longer here."

After confirming that Luna had left this independent space with Ani, Alice opened her mouth slowly, looking at the bag hanging around her waist—the loli devil in an empty drink bottle said without saying a word. He got out of the bag, with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face, and obviously knew that his behavior in hiding just now was a bit weird.

To put it bluntly, if you are a more cautious person, you may have already begun to suspect that the Lolita Demon King is planning some bad idea. For example, she can clearly feel that Milia's eyes looking at her have changed It's a bit unkind, but it's because of Alice, so I didn't say anything bad to myself.

"Now let's talk about why you don't want to meet Ai Ni so much?"

Alice didn't have as many doubts as Milia, she was just curious why this part of the soul that was stripped from the first generation of Demon King was so unwilling to meet Ani - judging by her performance, it seemed that she was not simply worried When Aini saw her face, she would just mistakenly think that Alice had a relationship with the first generation of Demon King. She seemed to be unwilling to meet Aini because of deeper reasons.

"... Well, originally I thought that the soul left by Ai Ni was just a part of the consciousness and would not be a complete soul, but Brian's magic seems to be better than I imagined, and he can extract Ai Ni completely. Ni's soul comes."

The Loli Demon King also knew that he had to give an explanation, so he could only sigh helplessly, and said, "Actually, if Aini only has a part of her consciousness and a remnant soul instead of a complete soul, then I won't hide it." ... because my existence may make Ani aware of something."

"Aware of what?"

Alice heard the Lolita King's words, and a guess in her heart was gradually confirmed. She looked at the Lolita King in the bottle and asked, "Actually, you and Ani have known each other for a long time, right? And not as a hero and a devil It’s the kind of understanding that you should have known before you became a hero and a demon king.”

"...That's right, strictly speaking, Annie and I have known each other since we were very young."

Seeing Alice's expression, the Lolita Demon King also knew that Alice should have guessed it, so he didn't hide it, and confessed the matter - after all, the first generation of heroes and the first generation of Demon King came from the same country, and before the Lolita Demon King It's normal to be guessed. Alice is an outsider, so there won't be any situation where the authorities are obsessed.

"So that's why you hid just now, because you were worried that Ai Ni would see you. When you realized that you were the first demon king, you remembered that she also knew the first demon king when she was a child?"

Milia also seemed to understand—if the Lolita Demon King hadn't hidden just now, then Aini would probably realize that she was the first generation Demon King after seeing the Lolita Demon King's appearance.

But don't forget that the appearance and body shape of the soul of the Lolita Demon King is only eleven or twelve years old. I already know the first generation of Demon King.

"I had a very good relationship with Ai Ni when I was a child...the kind that is so good."

Probably because this incident hit the sore spot of Loli Demon King, her tone became a little frustrated, "But I don't know what happened in the middle, so I haven't seen Ai Ni for a long time , when we meet again, it will be the scene of the confrontation between the brave and the devil—because the power of the devil has transformed my body, so there is a subtle change in my appearance, so Ani has never realized that the first generation of the devil is actually her childhood playmate."

"Your memory loss is just right."
