The female devils I saved came to my door

They were entrusted by Lovna to look for Sharlanna.Relying on the sense of blood, after searching hard for several months, they finally completed the task of finding a needle in a haystack and found Sharlanna.

"Hey! Found it!"

The three children found the cave in the mountains all the way. When the three of them were debating whether to go into the cave to check, they finally saw the eldest sister who was a little embarrassed at this time.

They quickly jumped into the dry and cold cave.

"Sharlanna, why did you..."

A child looked at the eldest sister, whose clothes were in tatters and her face was covered with dirt. He was puzzled: "Why are you hiding in a place like this? Do you know how anxious Sister Lovna was after you left? She wanted to restore our power induction. Your position even directly started a war. We have been looking for you for a long time now! Why didn't you go back earlier? What happened? "

"Uh, sorry." Sharlana smiled bitterly and sat cross-legged in the cave.

Although the children in Youjie were born at the same time, she has always been recognized as the eldest sister by everyone, so she attaches great importance to appearance and does not want to appear poor in front of others: "Everyone, I actually met my father a few months ago."

"Father? You mean you saw Charles? Did you really see him?!"

The impact of this answer immediately dispelled the dissatisfaction of the three children.

"Yes, I met him one rainy night - he was riding a black horse from the underworld, wearing gray armor with the Holy See's crest, and carrying a heavy sword on his back. He was surrounded by flashing lights The ball of light was rushing in the rain, just like a knight in a fairy tale! When I saw him, I knew he was my father. He also saw my face clearly through the lightning in the thunderstorm and wanted to chase me. But. , I didn’t have a chance to say anything to him at the time, so I couldn’t help but drive my horse away because of fear..."

"Didn't you talk to him?" A child asked expectantly: "Did your father say anything?"

"No... My original intention was to see my father from a distance and know what kind of person he was, but I didn't want to be discovered by him. After all, Sister Lovna also said that my father is a knight of the Holy See, and we are the backers of the devil. Looking at the works he made. I don’t know how to explain my existence to my father if we really want to talk. I don’t know if he will accept us... I don’t know.”

"Okay." Several children were a little disappointed.

Compared with other children, these precocious and capable children of the Netherworld have a stronger yearning for and respect for their father.Just like living creatures long for sunshine and rain.

After a while, the girl named Galdia remembered it and continued to ask: "...But even so, why are you hiding here? Can't you just go home? Why did you take so long? ?And you hid in the mountains?"

Sharlana smiled bitterly.

"This is my trouble now. After that meeting with my father, I finally got rid of him and walked to a plain. Suddenly, an extremely tall old man walked behind me, holding a heavy sword and wearing heavy armor. , that guy's appearance was very similar to the portrait of the Sword Master that my father had drawn in the past. I was chased by him, and all the ghost creatures I summoned were easily defeated by that guy. No matter where I was hiding, he would chase me. ...I can only hide in the mountains."

"Sword Master? Are you saying that you are being chased by Ether Munro? He can easily kill even the underworld creatures summoned by Sharlanna? Isn't that too strong?"

"Correct."

The three children were a little confused.In their perception, such a sword master is almost a distant symbol, an existence that has nothing to do with them.

"How did he find you?"

"I don't know, maybe it's relying on the aura of the underworld on us, or maybe it's numerology magic? Or the magic weapon of the Holy See? Moreover, he said something casually when he attacked me. Listening to his tone, he seemed to have known about us for a long time. exists?"

These words made several children a little nervous, and they pieced together information about this mysterious sword master.

The four children have all heard about the great achievements of this sword master, and they also know that he has wiped out many underworld creatures in the past. They know that he is Ciel's mentor and has a close relationship with Ciel... But they all heard this from Lovna. , no one can guess anything.

The child named Jialtan was suddenly stunned for a moment: "Sharlanna, I have a question... What does that Monroe look like specifically? Is it the same as those of his father's sketches?"

Sharlana nodded: "Yes, a very upright face with no expression, deep nasolabial folds, sunken eye sockets, protruding brow bones, looks very serious and sad, and has very thin lips... Anyway, it can be seen at a glance figure it out."

"...Sharlanna, I always feel like I'm a little dazzled. That stone behind you, why do I feel that the more I look at it, the more it looks like the face you mentioned?"

After saying this, Sharlana suddenly felt a terrible chill, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured into her back, which made her feel even more horrified in the already low-temperature cave.

She slowly turned around, and then she saw the face that was hidden in the darkness, like a rock.

This face slowly emerged from the dark cave, and then, what appeared was his tall body wearing armor, and the heavy sword in his hand that was longer than Sharlanna.

Monroe is here.I don’t know how he appeared in the cave, but his footsteps were silenter than fallen leaves. He seemed to have no breathing or heartbeat at all. He made no sound in the silent cave. The children in the Netherworld didn’t even notice him at all. ——It wasn’t until he reached an inescapable distance that he discovered this deadly hunter belatedly.

"Run!"

Sharlanna instinctively wanted to get up and block the others.

However, Monroe's heavy sword had already been swung down.

118. Death so close

"Sharlanna...it's Sharlanna!"

While Lovna was busy dealing with chores in Ipoli and worried about the safety of Sharlanna and four other children, the three children accompanying her suddenly sensed something.

"Sister Lovna, Sharlanna and the others are back! We sensed them - Brother Wumensi, Brother Zhaiertan and the others are also here!"

Sensing the connection between bloodlines made the three children happy.

They haven't seen Sharlana for more than half a year.Not long ago, they experienced a tragic war in Beztan, and their father suddenly appeared in their lives. After experiencing so many things, the three children couldn't wait to share everything with their brothers and sisters.

"Sharlanna is back?" This news also made Lovna, who was very busy now, feel happy.

Not only was she grateful for Sharlanna's safe return, in Lovna's view, Sharlanna was not only her child, but also her friend.

Lovna is now confused and uneasy.She was caught off guard by Ciel's sudden return, and the complicated emotions in her heart made her want to find someone to talk to, someone who could help her give her ideas and ease her current predicament.

The only person who can understand her is Sharlanna, the most sensible and reliable girl, who is also the daughter of Char.

"Where is she? Can you feel it?" Lovna asked.

"It seems to be in the woods near the swamp. The other three are also there."

That was the place where Lovna encountered the devil. It was less than half an hour away from where Lovna was stationed at this time. It was not far or near.

The youngest child replied: "However, I don't know why, my sister and the others are a bit slow... Can I go pick her up?"

"Okay." Lovna didn't think too much. She felt that the journey was not far anyway, and these children had magic protection, so she agreed. After all, she had a lot of official duties on guard - she always hated these things that required a lot of work. It's a lot of paperwork, but because I am the "Guardian of Great Blacksend" and I can't shirk it, I'm always annoyed by these things.

The three children just left.

After working hard for most of the day and finally finishing the work at hand, Princess Lovna, who was now in a high position, breathed a sigh of relief, pushed away the thick paperwork, lay on the back chair, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at her body. The wall clock next to him, and then his eyes widened.

More than two hours have passed, and the three children have not returned with Sharlana.

This is wrong and takes too long.

She planned to go to the swamp and see for herself.

After walking out of the room, the soldiers on duty for training outside and the female doctors responsible for caring for the wounded immediately cheered and greeted her. Lovna didn't have any thoughts, so she simply returned the salute, mounted her horse and left the residence, running all the way east. .

The Great Swamp used to be a forbidden area with few people inhabiting it. In recent years, with the prosperity of Ipoli, the swamp area has been developed and many swamplands have been dredged and filled up. However, the dense forest next to the swamp has always been silent. There is no one there - the oldest tree in the forest, its trunk alone is as thick as several adults hugging it, as if it has broken out of the ground since ancient times and has grown with the mountain to this day.The strange legends about that forest make people still instinctively fear that deep woodland.

Those children don't need to be afraid of this dense forest. After all, they are children of the underworld. This forest, which is awe-inspiring to ordinary people, looks like a paradise to them.

Lovna hesitated for a moment, but still felt uneasy, and decided to go into the forest to look for those children.

She remembered the place where she met the devil. At that time, she could hear the whispers of the dense forest, tempting her to go deeper, and finally she met the devil, and by chance, it led her to where she is today. .

She followed the guidance of her hazy memory and walked through the forest.

She stretched out her long knife to push aside the overgrown branches and walked forward in the increasingly dark forest. Her leather boots made a slight sound as they stepped on the fluffy earth filled with fallen leaves.Although the deeper she went into the forest, the more obvious her inner fear became, and the more she couldn't help but feel nervous - after all, every time she entered this forest, it would bring about a radical change in her life - but she continued Forward.

While holding her breath and listening attentively, she vaguely caught a faint sound similar to human speech from the noisy wind blowing leaves, dripping water, and insects. This was what countless assassins planned to assassinate at nightfall over the years. Lovna, the skill that forced her to practice - she hurriedly followed the sound and found it.

Finally, in the dim light filtering through the dense canopy of trees, she spotted Sharlana.

"Sharlanna! You..." Lovna's eyes widened.

This girl who used to be elegant and calm was now slumped beside a big tree covered in blood. She didn't even have the strength to drive away the centipedes that climbed up her leather clothes and the flies that surrounded her. She just closed her eyes tightly and struggled with difficulty. Panting - there was already some blood on her chest, which was the reason why she was weak at this time.

"Sharlanna!" She hurriedly stepped forward to drive away the insects that were trying to suck the blood from her wounds. She helped Sherlana up and checked her injuries: "How could this happen?"

"...Lovna, sister Lovna?" She opened her eyes with difficulty and coughed twice: "...This is a trap, he wants to capture us..."

"Trap? Him? Who is he? Who wants to catch you?"

Before Luovna could react, there was already a cold light on her shoulder.

She was shocked, and then she slowly stood up and turned around slowly under the threat of the sword. Then, she saw a tall old man wearing heavy armor.A person whose past was only known from Ciel's description and glimpsed when he was being hunted.

Ether Munro, the legendary sword master.

Only when standing in front of him can his terrifying sense of oppression truly make people feel fear and awe.

However, Lovna was not frightened by his identity. What really made her almost soul-stricken was what this guy had on his waist.

It was the heads of five children.

Their eyes all widened, retaining the shocked expressions they had at the moment before the beheading.Their faces were stained with blood, and their heads were tied together with ropes and pinned to his waist.

The five children she considered family were killed in front of her eyes.

"Let's go quickly...Sister Lovna." Sharlana's words were as weak as a taut thread that could be cut off at any time.

Munro's experience was very simple.

In the cave, after decapitating Jialtan, Umons, and Galtia, he took Sharlanna, who was seriously injured, and relied on the power of the underworld to find Ipoli. And, using Sharlanna as bait, he lured Three children came, and after killing two of them, only the youngest child fled in terror.

But Monroe was not anxious. He knew that as long as Sharlanna was on the verge of death, the youngest child would definitely come back to save her sister.Even if he knows he is dead, he will come back.

So he kept waiting.

Although it made him feel a little uncomfortable to take advantage of the noble character of these children to kill, he had to convince himself that it was necessary.

Unexpectedly, Lovna came first.

He recognized this guy who once got involved with the devil and caused countless troubles as a red-haired witch.

This made Monroe very irritated. He saw the close relationship between this woman and Sher Lanna, and also knew that his son-in-law took great care of this student. Now, the appearance of this woman made his mission more troublesome. .

Especially the moment Lovna looked back at him, he knew it was time. This woman was probably going to fight him with a knife.

119. Nearly breakup

Monroe looked impatiently at Lovna, who was drawing a knife in front of her and glaring at him.

He had a headache.

He knew how much Ciel cared about the child named Lovna - he could clearly see how Ciel even risked breaking out of prison and rebelling against the Holy See in order to save the child.

He also guessed that after Lovna was sent back to Ipoli, she must have been entrusted by that bastard demon to take care of the seven children, so she developed feelings for her.These children escaped their search and suppression in the West.

Although her threats of force were insignificant to Monroe, he had no intention of harming her.

"Go away, kid, it's none of your business here."

He warned: "You know in your heart that these children are the creations of the devil. They are just creatures with empty human shells, a group of monsters from the underworld wearing human skin. Their souls are inferior products put together by the dead from the underworld. Their existence, It is blasphemy against God the Father, they are disgusting, my mission is to destroy them, don’t hinder me.”

They are just as disgusting as me.Monroe added in his mind.

"They are my children. My children!" Lovna gritted her teeth and pointed the short knife at the tall, fully-armed warrior in front of her, her eyes already red with anger and sadness.

"Okay." Monroe clicked his tongue impatiently.

He saw that this angry woman, although it seemed that she was about to be swallowed up by uncontrollable emotions and completely lose her mind, she still protected the injured Sharlanna and carefully protected the weakness of the girl behind her. This made him Even more anxious.

It is this kind of family-like mutual help, the attitude of mutual support between these children, that makes him, the executioner of the Holy See, feel troublesome.

If these demonic creations were really inhuman waste, then he might be more decisive in his actions, but in this case... even someone like him who has done dirty work for hundreds of years would feel a little guilty.

Sher Lanna was almost exhausted at this time, and she could only vaguely sense everything happening around her.She felt extremely bitter that her blind trip this time had brought such a tragic end to the people she loved.

The severe pain had taken away what little sanity she had left, and she had fallen into a coma.

Monroe waved his heavy sword impatiently, hoping to neutralize the girl's attack without hurting Lovna.But Lovna wanted to kill him like crazy, which made Monroe very distressed.

But fortunately, at this time, a somewhat immature but courageous voice sounded behind Monroe.

"Don't hurt sister Lovna! You bastard!"

Then, a huge three-headed dog pounced from behind Monroe. The monster pounced on him ferociously, intending to bite Monroe into pieces.

It was the son of Netherworld who escaped just now. He was really worried about his sister and returned to save people.After seeing Munro fighting against Lovna, he quickly summoned the creatures from the underworld and rushed to help.

"finally come."

The final prey appeared, and Monroe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He swung his sword and hit Lovna hard in the abdomen with the hilt. Then, when she knelt down with difficulty due to the severe pain, he turned around and split the bodies of the three giant beasts. Then he turned the sword, and before the youngest child could react, he When he came over, the heavy sword swung out a silver light at a terrifying speed.

"Six."

He took a breath, then turned around and looked at Sharlanna who was paralyzed under the tree.

This bait was no longer needed, he thought with relief, and this was all coming to an end.

After harvesting these seven children, they took their heads back to the Holy See and gathered them together with the seven people underground in the Holy See, and the matter was finished.

He stepped forward, ignoring Lovna who was still in great pain beside him, and prepared to kill the oldest child with his sword.

However, just as he was lifting the sword high, Lovna had already recovered some consciousness from the pain. When she saw Monroe lifting the sword high, she jumped up suddenly regardless of the severe pain, and grabbed Monroe's face with both hands.
