Jingle bell...jingle bell...
As the bell rang, Professor Yeno put away his lecture notes, wiped the blackboard filled with ancient history, and then ignored the students who were still sleeping on the table even after class was over, and prepared to leave the classroom. .
But at this moment, the sound of rapid footsteps coming from behind made Yenuo stop.
"Professor! Professor!"
The one who was chased out of the classroom was the little girl with freckles.
Yenuo adjusted her glasses and recognized this student. After all, she was the only student in the classroom.
The girl asked Professor Yeno for some knowledge.
It's all about ancient history, about... demons.
Professor Yeno patiently answered everything in detail and clearly. It can be seen that he is very thorough in ancient history, especially in the study of demons.
Therefore...
"Professor Yeno, do you think...the demons are really as low-level and inferior as what is written in the textbooks? I have read many history books, and there are few records of the war between humans and demons thousands of years ago. Even if Some of them almost always end with a human victory, as if the demons are really vulnerable. This, this seems to be different from what the professor taught us..."
Hearing what the freckled female student said, Professor Yeno adjusted his glasses.
He shook his head and said with a smile: "Kid, history books will only be written by the winners."
"Professor Yeno, I...I don't quite understand. Professor, do you think the demon race is really...extinct?"
"Child, it depends on how you understand it. It's like for a person who hides his ears and steals the bell, the bell does not exist."
The freckled female student's comprehension ability was obviously not up to par.
Completely confused.
"I'm sorry, I should go home. If you still don't understand anything, you can come to the office to see me tomorrow."
"Or..." Professor Yeno paused.
Afterwards, he handed a card with a simple magic spell to the freckled girl.
"Hold this, kid."
"Professor, is this...?"
"This is an invitation to a rally."
"It's a gathering founded by people who can hear the ringing without covering their ears. After activating the card with your magic, you can get the location and time of the next gathering. Maybe... you can learn about it there. , more knowledge you wish for, about ancient science, about demons, about...the truth."
Professor Yeno left.
He walks hobblingly and is thin. In the corridors, students and other teachers all avoid this "freak" professor who is usually taciturn and never participates in any on-campus activities.
The freckled girl stayed where she was.
She carefully put the invitation to the meeting that the professor had given her, with some strange purple and black patterns printed on it, into her notebook.
Leaving the Royal Academy in the Royal City.
Yeno took a carriage and returned to his residence in the civilian area.
After entering the house, his virtuous wife and two lovely daughters had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Dear, dinner is ready."
"Dad! I want to hear a story! The story you told me about Commander Anna last time!" The seven or eight-year-old daughter made a fuss and acted coquettishly towards Jeno.
The other was already a tall and graceful eldest daughter. Hela was more sensible and immediately said: "Nana! Father has been tired for a whole day. Let him have a good rest!"
"No, no! Nana just wants to hear it! Dad!"
A smile appeared on Professor Yeno's wrinkled face.
He picked up his little daughter, sat at the dining table, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, where did daddy tell you last time?"
"Speaking of how Commander Anna was seduced by a traitor, and her army was surrounded by demons. Dad, please tell me what happened to Commander Anna. He must have successfully broken out from the demons!"
"It's a pity, my child. Commander Anna and her soldiers were surrounded by the demon army for three days and three nights. In the end, they failed to wait for reinforcements and died at the hands of the demon army."
"Ah! How could this happen..." The little girl looked frustrated and lost when she heard the continuation of the story.
She quickly became angry and shook her little fists.
"Damn it! If it weren't for that human traitor, how could Commander Anna be surrounded! Woohoo! Dad, I like Anna. I will become a person like Commander Anna in the future, a hero like that, fight against the demons! Protect! Humanity!"
"Okay, okay! Let's eat quickly. Even a hero should eat well!"
Jeno's wife rubbed her indignant little daughter.
I feel a little helpless in my heart.
In fact, she wants to guide her daughter to become a mage, a doctor, or a civil servant like her who serves the empire.
Not a commander.
To defeat some demon clan that doesn’t exist at all.
But after all, this is the husband's profession.
No matter how unpopular ancient history is, he is still a professor at the Royal Academy. This is why they can afford to live in civilian areas now.
Fortunately, the eldest daughter is more upbeat.
Thinking of this, Yenuo's wife gave Hela an encouraging look.
Hela hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage at the dinner table and said to Yenuo: "Father, tomorrow is my coming-of-age ceremony at the Swordsmanship Academy. Can you...can you take the time to come over and attend the ceremony?"
Jeno is an unsociable person.
Hela was originally unwilling to force her father, but her mother felt that for such an important ceremony, it would be better for her parents to bless her together.
Yenuo's wife said from the side: "Dear, Hela's swordsmanship instructor came to see me yesterday. Hela's grades and talents are among the top in the academy. It is very likely that he will be able to enter the establishment and become a High-ranking swordsman of the empire.”
Hearing that her daughter was so outstanding, Yenuo smiled happily and touched her eldest daughter's head.
"certainly."
"I'll be there on time."
Both the wife and the eldest daughter breathed a sigh of relief. The ignorant little girl was busy cooking, as if she was venting her anger on Commander Anna. The warm and well-off family was enjoying themselves at the dinner table. Although they were not rich and luxurious, at least they were happy. of.
but...
All this was broken with a "pop".
The bowl that Professor Yeno picked up seemed to be unfinished and fell to the ground.
The food inside was spilled on the floor.
The red juice of tomatoes stained the carpet.
Before he could wait for his wife and children to ask what happened to Yeno.
This professor seemed to have suffered some great stimulation - an exciting stimulation.
His usually taciturn and informal demeanor was gone now.
Instead, there was an expression on his father's face that neither his wife nor his daughters had ever seen before.
That is...
fanaticism.
It's like...
What had always been purely a matter of history and legend really appeared before us.
Jeno didn't care about anything.
He pushed the chair away roughly, left the dining table as quickly as possible, and ran towards his study.
The wives and daughters who were left behind looked confused and confused.
And only Yeno himself knows the reason.
After he got to the study in excitement, he forgot to lock the door, and directly used his hands that were shaking with nervousness to reach for his chest. There was an emerald pendant there, which Professor Yeno always carried close to his body.
Most of the time, no, I should say, when you get this emerald pendant from Yeno, it seems to be just an accessory.
Can...
Now...
Now when Professor Yeno put the emerald pendant on his palm, the pendant's intense green light covered the entire study.
covered...
Jeno's whole face.
"host..."
"Is it you, Lord...Lord!?"
Yenuo shook his head wildly, looking at the wall, ceiling, or something further into the study room.
The ancient history professor's voice shook as much as his body.
"The time...has come..."
From the miserable green necklace in Professor Yeno's hand, an evil voice came out, a voice that only he could hear.
"Lord! When? When? What are you referring to? Could it be...could it be said!!!"
"That's right... It's time to prove you... to prove your ancient history... to prove that what you have studied so hard... is not just a waste of paper in the eyes of others who are ignorant... ."
"The demons will...return to the world...and you...will...as a new human...enjoy...our new world..."
Gu Luodan's voice was tempting.
The darkness in Yenuo's heart and the grievances he has endured have been infinitely magnified. This professor of ancient history, who was regarded as a "freak", now has a crazy smile on his face.
"Lord, I, we have been waiting for this day for too long...for too long...Lord! What do you need us to do for you, we..."
Yeno was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Anchor..."
"Establish coordinates...anchor points for our arrival...in the human world...Next...I will...give you power...let us work together...to get through... .tunnel..."
Ancient Lordan has cultivated such a group of forces in the human world.
Next, he wanted to test the Demon King and verify his suspicion about Liao Yu, relying on these humans.
Therefore, Grodan needs to let the devil come to the area within his sphere of influence.
That's why he deliberately sacrificed his soul to the demon to stabilize the teleportation gate, so that by cooperating with humans, he could more or less secretly control the teleportation location.
So far, everything is going as planned.
The evil green energy flowed into Professor Yeno's body along the emerald pendant.
until...
Snapped!
There was another sound of a bowl breaking.
The youngest daughter Nana, who came to deliver food to her father, stood at the door of the study, looking at her father who was absorbing the power of the evil spirit in the room as if she was frightened.
"roll!"
"Get out!"
Yenuo's eyes were also glowing with a miserable green light at this time, and with his ferocious and angry expression, he looked like a monster.
He angrily asked his little daughter to leave, but at this time, the demon's dissatisfied voice sounded.
"Kill...kill her..."
"Kill...? No! Lord, she is still young and doesn't understand anything. She will not affect us..."
"Kill...kill her!"
The demon's tone increased a bit, with no doubt, and at the same time added a bit more power transmission, and the evil desire engulfed Professor Yeno.
The struggle and hesitation on his face disappeared in an instant. Yenuo was completely reduced to a demon puppet, and even his skin turned pale green. The half-human, half-demon Yenuo stretched his claws towards his little daughter who was crying at the door.
"Dear, what's wrong? Why is Nana here...ah!!"
Yenuo's wife was also attracted by the news at this time, but what she saw was a heartbreaking, bloody and terrifying scene.
"Monster...Monster!!"
"Hurry...run Hela! Hurry...ah..."
With a scream, his wife fell in a pool of blood. When Yeno, who was corrupted by the green evil power, turned his bloodthirsty and evil eyes to look for the eldest daughter left in the room, he found traces of a teleportation magic.
It was her wife who used her last strength to release Hela before she died.
He actually let one go.
Roar!
The demonized Yenuo made an angry sound like a beast and rushed out of the door. It was obvious that he had lost his mind.
"return..."
It was the evil voice from the emerald pendant that stopped Yeno.
"This is... a random transfer... a hasty spell cast... She... has probably been... shattered by... space turbulence... don't... chase..."
"Coordinate anchor point...this is...the most important thing..."
Yeno regained some sense. Some things are like Pandora's box. Once opened, there is no way back.
The professor's cold eyes looked at the restaurant, which was warm a few minutes ago, but now turned blood red. He stepped over the bodies of his wife and daughter and returned to his study.
"As you command, my Lord..."
With the help of Yeno from the human world, it didn't take long for Gulodan to successfully get the anchor point he wanted.
“Lord, what else can we do for the Lord?”
certainly.
The pool of blood at Yeno's feet began to squirm quickly under the power of the demon, and finally formed a portrait of a human being in front of the professor.
The portrait of human youth——it is Liao Yu.
"Find him...and...kill him..." The evil voice echoed in Yeno's mind.
Like a seductive whisper that makes people fall into the abyss.
"This is...the task assigned to you...after completion...you will...break away from the human body...and become...a member of our clan..."
"I won't let the Lord down!"
With Yeno's last promise, the satisfied demon ended the connection, the miserable green light on the pendant disappeared, and Professor Yeno returned to his original appearance. Everything seemed to have never happened - if you don't look at Dianhong carpet and two corpses in a pool of blood
but...
So what?
Wasn't that the same for the "Son of Destiny" back then?
That's right.
I am on the right path.
He is not a traitor to humanity.
He is saving this, which is now rotten and rotten, saving this hopeless human world!
he...
Jeno-Gervin
Will become the new savior of mankind a thousand years later!
...
...
[Before the demons come, there is still...
——0 hours, 05 minutes and 27 seconds]
Chaos rift.
Although Liao Yu only came with three apostles, before leaving, the remaining six demon apostles still lined up respectfully, as if to see Liao Yu off.
What surprised Liao Yu even more was that not only the Wisdom Demon, but also the Shadow Demon Hill and the Sorcerer Dadaya all chose to come together with him, not as projections, but as their "real bodies".
The void passage is completely ready.
Liao Yu looked at the human world on the other side of the passage. At this time, his heart was full of expectations.
Although saving the world in one week is just a game, Liao Yu also invested a lot of emotions.
In the world a thousand years later, mankind should have developed civilization to a higher level by relying on the inheritance left by its powerful protagonist at the end of the game, right?
Are the descendants of those partners who fought alongside him thousands of years ago still there? How are you doing?
And what Liao Yu cares most about is the Glory Holy Religion with which he has the closest relationship.
With such an impatient mood, Liao Yu finally joined the three apostles. Accompanied by the deafening roars of the demons, their figures disappeared into the passage. At the same time, it also symbolized a new chapter for the demons since they were sealed for thousands of years.
...
...
Imperial capital.
Suburban forest.
Five or six "human beings" with pointed ears gathered around a well. The dim moonlight shone on the surface of the well, and a line of complex text that was constantly beating appeared on the deep well water.
That's elven writing.
The translation is probably...
[Before the demons come, there is still...
——0 hours, 00 minutes and 03 seconds]
As the numbers on the second line continued to shrink, the "human beings" at the well held their breaths with serious and nervous expressions.
finally.
The moment this number becomes zero.
Buzz!
I saw a huge ripple on the surface of the well, and a blurry picture was quickly reflected in the moon well.
That is the demon clan.
After being sealed in the rift of chaos for thousands of years, they are the demons who have once again opened the void passage and are about to bring disaster and destruction to the world.
"Elder! The prophecy... the prophecy turned out to be true, the demons... the demons..." Several young "human beings" fell into panic.
Only the head old lady's expression remained the same.
"What? Are you scared? Have you forgotten why we came here?"
"No... no elders! We have never forgotten the bloody shame of the elves! The destruction of their homeland by the demons is the unforgettable hatred of every elf!"
Revenge triumphed over fear.
And this is why the remaining elves, whose homes were destroyed and fled to this world, take action even if they expose themselves.
Their home and world have been destroyed by the demons.
In order to take revenge and to avoid such a tragedy from happening again, they followed the prophecy and went to remind mankind and wake up this human world that had once repelled the demons, but now it has completely fallen.
"The princess has already gone to the human college in the royal city to study. You must go and meet the princess quickly and tell the princess the news that the prophecy has been confirmed. Humans have defeated the demons once. This time, with the help of our elves, we must completely defeat the demons. Destroy them! Drive them out, leaving no one behind!"
"Yes! Great Elder! Drive them out... leave no one behind!"
Under the moonlight, in the forest, there are elves who swear resolutely, their brave faces.
