The female devils I saved came to my door

She tried it and felt that it worked well, so she proudly took it to the surrounding swamp, hoping to catch wild animals with it.

When she arrived, she discovered that the animal traps made by experienced hunters over there were much larger than hers.

The animal trap she made can only be used to catch mice.

But she still refused to give up, thinking that maybe she could catch some wild beasts by squatting around the swamp and kill them with her alchemical weapons in exchange for praise from others.

But there were so many mosquitoes around the swamp that they stung her so much that she couldn't bear it all afternoon, so she had no choice but to run away.

But when she thought of Charles and Hilna, she became motivated again.

The next day, after smearing enough insect repellent ointment and wearing thick clothes all over her body, she came to the edge of the swamp again and wandered around for four or five days. Finally, she saw a grass snake scurrying in the grass.

The moment she saw her prey, she immediately activated the runes, drew out her alchemy dagger, and struck it down.

This was her first successful kill.

Carrying the grass snake home to show off, her mother looked at this proud child who seemed to have made great achievements. She was helpless and could only praise her a few words and let her play.

But this gave her great encouragement, and Lovna also discovered that she could gain recognition from others through hunting.

She finally found something she was pretty good at.

Only when she was quietly waiting for prey and hunting could Lovna alleviate some of her longing for Ciel.

With her physical advantages and strong energy, she can still defeat the surrounding prey with the help of three specially-made runes and powerful alchemy knives.

Lovna gradually mastered the skills of hunting.She put on waterproof boots, a light cloak, tied her red hair into a ponytail, covered her face with moist mud mixed with grass, and searched for prey in the unowned forest around Ipoli.

She would hide quietly on the treetops and hold her breath, just like when she was a child listening to Teacher Charles's lessons.When the prey passed by, she would jump down, activate the runes, and use the weapon with scorching flames and thunder to deliver a fatal blow to the prey.

The attack was very effective.

Her gains are growing.

First snakes, then wild dogs, deer, badgers, wild boars...

The mother, who originally thought her daughter was fooling around, was shocked by what she gained.

These things brought Lovna some income and some fame. Everyone also began to talk about "Mr. Charles's student Lovna" and thought she was an excellent hunter.

She finally relied on herself and saved enough money. She sent a greeting letter to Charles describing her current situation and received a reply, which greatly encouraged her.

Only the mother expressed concern for Lovna - she was worried that her daughter would suffer an accident during the hunt.

Those deep forests and swamps are full of unknown secrets. Many people have entered the depths of the forests during the hunting process, disturbing the ancient existence sleeping in the forest. They have been cursed and have never been able to come back.Even the most experienced hunters would not dare to make a living solely by hunting.

But Lovna only thought that her mother was overly worried and didn't take it to heart.

She wanted to kill more prey with the knife in her hand.

Because, Teacher Charles’s letter said that after arriving in Glory City, Sirna’s talent alarmed the Holy See and received unprecedented attention. She even used the rumored sword master as her mentor. After entering the seminary, she became the number one in talent. , attracted much attention.

Sheerna's achievements made her a little jealous.

She also needs to use her newfound talents to prove herself and let Teacher Charles understand that Lovna will also be an excellent person.

Moreover, you can exchange some money for catching prey, so that you can afford to send letters to Teacher Charles.

Finally, one day, Lovna walked into the depths of the deep forest in order to hunt down a shiny elk.

After getting lost, she encountered the demon.

Testimonials

The book will be on the shelves tomorrow, so I have to rush to finish the manuscript.

Let’s also talk about the situation of this book. This kind of plot unfolds through memories, and the main plot relies entirely on the story told by the protagonist. The perspective will repeatedly switch between the present and the past, so it is easy to be confused while watching it.

Moreover, once the number of heroines increases, or there are too many copies, it will definitely lead to plot confusion or even collapse of the plot and characters.

Therefore, I didn’t plan to write this book very long at the beginning. It was only about five or six heroines and two or three stories. No matter how long it was delayed, it would not exceed one million words.

I personally hope to finish the book with around 70 million words.The main trouble is controlling the pacing of the story.

Currently, the three heroines Katrin, Lovna, and Silna have appeared. They are the heroines in the first copy. After telling their stories, the plot of this book will be over halfway.

49.Devil in the forest

It was late autumn, and the weather was very good. There had just been a light rain, so the air in the forest was particularly fresh, with only a slight musty smell of earth.

Lovna entered the deep forest next to the swamp from a tree-lined trail commonly used by hunters.

She was very lucky that day. In the broken light cast through the shade of the trees, she saw an elk with shiny hair.

Its horns are smooth and well-proportioned, and the light and shadow cast on its perfectly smooth fur shine like the patterns on the royal coat of arms.

It was drinking water leisurely by the creek in the forest, enjoying what it thought was a perfect moment.

Lovna has never seen such a majestic and beautiful elk.

It made her eyes light up.

She tiptoed into the elk, and at the same time, slowly put her hand on the handle of the knife at her waist.

As long as he activates the rune worn on his chest to exert his strength instantly, and simultaneously slashes to cut off its neck, it will be enough to get that beautiful piece of fur before the elk runs away.

Nowadays, furs are valuable in Ipoli.

Because those two annoying paladins have been blocking everyone from buying furs, the price has naturally gone up.

If she could get the elk, she could make a fortune.

Thinking of this, she was very happy.

But the elk seemed to feel something. The moment Lovna swung the knife forward, it raised its head, turned around and ran deep into the forest for a while. After running for tens of meters, it distanced itself from Lovna and hid. After standing behind a big tree, he poked his head suspiciously and looked back.

The chance to kill with one strike was lost, but it did not mean that the hunt was a failure.

The elk hasn't gone far yet, and there is still a chance to catch up.

So, Lovna stepped lightly on the soft soil, quietly trying to take a detour and walk behind the elk.

But as the elk approached, it turned and ran away.

Lovna was not discouraged and continued to look for opportunities to pursue.

In this way, they went back and forth several times, and just when they were about to kill the elk, the elk jumped lightly into the bushes and disappeared without a trace.

Only then did Lovna realize that she had entered the depths of the jungle.The dark green trees had already confused her path, and the dark forest floor was full of unfamiliar shrubs and weeds, which made her feel a little panicked.

But it's not that dangerous. After all, she has also studied with Ciel and knows various techniques for identifying directions in the forest.

But this time, the strange thing was that even if she used her alchemical weapon to chop open the surrounding saplings, she could not see the density of the tree trunks' growth rings.

Looking at the tree crown, you can't tell which side has more lush branches and leaves.

Even the compass she carried spun around.

It seemed like some strange presence had trapped her.

She was a little scared, and walked around and around in the forest, slashing everywhere to make marks, but she still couldn't get out of here.

Even before our eyes, the sun was setting, and the forest was getting darker and darker.

"This time... it's over..."

She panicked and began to regret why she had chased the elk.

"What should I do? Could it be that I was cursed by the monster in the forest?" She recalled her mother's warning, and her inner frustration grew stronger.

She curled up with her legs and wrapped herself in a cloak to resist the cold wind at night. Fear made her senses particularly sharp.Even the sound of leaves rustling in the night wind frightened her.

When the fear was amplified to the extreme, a faint golden light appeared in front of her eyes.

Lovna looked up blankly, and then her eyes reflected countless flashing light balls - just like the spell that Teacher Charles cast in front of her eyes for the first time.

These dots of light balls, large and small, slowly floated around her, forming a light path that seemed to guide her forward.

Curiosity and hope made the cold and tired Lovna stand up and walk through the forest along the path illuminated by the light ball.

These balls of light are getting brighter and denser.

Finally, Lovna reached the end and saw the being who cast this spell - a slender woman with long crimson hair and eyes, wearing a long black dress.

She looked exactly like Lovna. She was standing among countless dancing balls of light, illuminated by the surrounding light like a goddess.

"Huh?" Lovna exclaimed: "Who are you, why are you..."

"You want to ask, why do I look exactly like you?" The other party smiled and said, "That's not right. Look carefully, there are differences between us."

Lovna rubbed her eyes and took a closer look. She found that this woman was taller than herself, with plumper breasts and whiter and more delicate skin. She looked more like... what she expected to look like.

"You, who are you?" Lovna held the handle of the knife at her waist vigilantly.

The woman was still smiling: "Don't be afraid, child, I don't intend to hurt you. I have no form, so I will change my appearance according to the identity of the intruder, and then I will become what you desire."

"You mean...you are the elf of this forest?"

"Well... that's right." She smiled: "Elf... this is a really good title. Unfortunately, God the Father does not allow me to deceive mortals. I am actually an existence from the underworld. You actually call me more often - demon."

"demon!!"

The number one villain in all ghost stories in Ipoli, the excuse used by priests to scare believers, and the enemy of mankind declared by the Eternal Holy See.

Lovna was naturally nervous after hearing this.

"Oh, I told you, don't be afraid." The woman waved her hand to signal Lovna to take it easy:

"I know that humans hate us. But in fact, there is no essential difference between us and angels: we are all born with the birth of the eternal Father. Our existence is the will of the Father, but we follow the Father's will. God’s arrangement is just to fulfill different responsibilities. But humans just like to classify us, distinguishing good and evil according to our interests and harms to others, and classifying us as angels and demons.”

This guy who calls himself a devil talks in a dazzling way, and Lovna can't understand it.

"Forget it, kid, since you don't believe it, let me tell you straight away: I never 'actively' harm humans. I am a devil who likes to make deals with humans. If people want to realize their wishes, I will make deals with them. trade.

"They make wishes to me, and I, within my ability, will help them realize their wishes as much as possible according to the content of their wishes, and at the same time, I will ask for the things that these wishers cherish as a price.

"I sensed your desire to escape from this forest, so I'm here. My child." She smiled and said, "I can help you realize this wish now."

Luovna suddenly became alert.

Charles told her many stories in the past, and one story called "The Monkey's Paw" impressed her deeply.

That story made her know that all wishes that go against common sense must pay a terrible price.

Destiny does not let people get something for nothing. If you want to get something, you must pay something.

"I don't believe you." Lovna shook her head: "You are the devil who bewitched me. You must have wanted me to pay a terrible price to induce me to make a wish to you."

"Yes, I also admit that I am trading, and my wish does require the wisher to pay a price."

The devil admitted frankly: "But I am not a black-hearted profiteer. I will only ask for the price I deserve. Letting you go home is just a piece of cake for me, so I won't ask for anything. Just think of it as a benefit given to you.

"But... if the wish you want to make is to bring your family back to life, to make your beloved man fall in love with you, or to become an omnipotent hero, then the price you have to pay will be much more. I What you have to ask for will be much more.”

These words still made Lovna very wary.

"Oh, forget it, I'll just let you go back." The devil sighed regretfully, and then snapped his fingers.

The light balls around her rearranged themselves and formed a new path of light, winding between the trees and extending into unknown depths.

"Goodbye, kid. If you have any wishes you want to achieve in the future, you can come to me!"

After saying that, the demon who transformed into Lovna bowed lightly, then turned around lightly and disappeared into the darkness.

Lovna followed the path guided by the light ball suspiciously. After a long and winding journey, the front suddenly became clear.

Under the moonlight, there were villages and courtyards she was familiar with.

She walked out of the dense forest next to the swamp.

The demon did tell the truth, and there was no such thing as lying about what he said.

After sending her out of the forest, she never came back.

But this matter still made Lovna very scared.

She hurried back to her hometown and told her mother what she had seen today.

But the mother was just stunned - she was just worried that her daughter would get lost in the forest after hunting or be hurt by wild beasts, so she said the curse in the forest to scare her.But she doesn't believe in any "wishes-granting demon."

Similarly, when other people heard Lovna's words, they just thought it was funny, thinking that she was lost in the forest and came home late, so she made up the devil's words to fool people - because many people in Ipoly had seen her many years ago The devil - that devil appeared in the city more than ten years ago, hurting hundreds of people in one night, and was completely irrational.
