Princess Yuffie was silent.
She bought this man in gray hood from the "slave market" during a trip to a foreign country. She took a fancy to the powerful magic power in him and brought him back to Illinois covertly.
As for the gray-cloaked man who was sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, and kept talking about "forty-two adults", "thousand years ago", "demon clan", "betrayers" and the like, Yuffie regarded it as complete nonsense. .
But now...
The eldest princess looked carefully at the shadow monster killed by the gray-cloaked man.
She was very sure that in the nearly five hundred years of human history, there was no such type of monster.
No matter how much Yuffie didn't believe in the myths of ancient history, but when a monster that could hide in the shadows and couldn't even be detected by her appeared exactly like the legend, Yuffie's worldview was greatly subverted.
Not only because the demons really exist.
What's more, this also proves the gray-cloaked man from before.
"So, what you said before are all...true?" The eldest princess's beautiful brows were deeply furrowed at this moment.
ha...
Hahaha!
The man in gray hood suddenly laughed, and his distorted expression made his already ugly face, which was covered with burn scabs, even more hideous.
"My dear Your Highness, what are you referring to? Are you referring to the dimensional rift that tore the sky thousands of years ago, and countless powerful demons invaded the world?"
"Or does it refer to the century-long war between humans and demons?"
"Or do you mean the millions of warriors we have died protecting the world?"
"Or do you mean the brave man who defeated the Demon King and saved the world and the forty-two adults?"
"Still referring to..."
"The one who took advantage of our trust after the war and murdered forty-two adults. The one who was selfish, the one who tampered with history, the one who failed us all and stole our world!!"
Speaking of the last man in gray cloak, he almost screamed.
His whole body was trembling with anger, and every scar, whipping, and torture mark on his body seemed to be telling the endless hatred accumulated deep in his heart.
He smashed things in the study crazily and held his head, as if just recalling certain scenes from the past made him extremely painful and unacceptable.
Princess Yuffie did not stop her.
Let the man in gray hood vent his emotions.
After this madness lasted for nearly a few minutes, Hui Peng finally calmed down.
He sat blankly, the expression on his face changed from manic to numb. He seemed to know that he was just being incompetently angry, so he only had empty eyes.
"Okay, I believe you, but I want to know how you who came from thousands of years ago...are still alive today?"
"Alive till now?"
Every word the eldest princess said seemed ridiculous to the ears of the gray-cloaked man.
"If you have to endure the stabbing pain like a knife, the tearing of the heart, and the pain of your own flesh and blood at night, as if being eaten by ants, then indeed, you can call me. ..We have survived until now.”
"This is the path we chose ourselves, because we cannot die yet, and we still bear the blood feud of forty-two adults, so we swallowed the fire and became ghosts in history. We firmly believe that one day, the betrayers will I will get retribution. I can't die without seeing the miserable fate of the betrayer...I can't die..."
The gray-cloaked man murmured to himself, what supported his decaying body was not only the "fire" spell, but also the will of hatred.
"So, who is the "betrayer" you are talking about?"
Princess Yuffie asked this key question.
"No, can't say it...can't mention it...it will be discovered, it will be discovered!! That name is taboo, a curse is placed on all of us, and once we say it, I, along with everything here, Your palace, royal city, and even the whole of Illinois will be destroyed! We can’t say... we must not say... we can’t make the same mistake a second time, we can’t... we must not!!”
The man in gray hood seemed to have fallen into some desperate and painful memories again.
It seems that "they" once caused an irreparable tragedy because of this mistake.
He covered his mouth with ten fingers, his nails digging into his flesh and blood, as if he wanted to tear his mouth apart, just to prevent that taboo "name" from being spoken.
Upon seeing this, Princess Yuffie immediately changed the subject.
"Okay, let me change the question. Is there any connection between the appearance of the demons and the betrayer?"
"Contact? No, no, no, only we who were thousands of years ago knew how terrifying the demons were, and the same was true for the betrayer. That person was extremely afraid of the demons, so he had been searching for the demons, looking for the Chaos Rift that was sealed by the brave, in an attempt to completely eliminate them. Demons, because they are the only existence that can threaten that person, but now it seems..."
"Haha! Hahaha! That person failed! It turns out there are things that the betrayer can't do! This is retribution...retribution!"
When he fought with the demons on the battlefield thousands of years ago, he would never have thought that one day, he would turn around and desire the demons so much.
Although the gray-cloaked people really hope that the demon army will step onto the earth, burn the flames of war, spread destruction, and destroy the so-called "human" world now, just like it did thousands of years ago.
But he knew it in his heart.
impossible.
Even the demons can't stand up to the traitor.
That person almost completely stole the authority of the hero who was once the "Child of Destiny" and reached a level even more terrifying than that of the savior a thousand years ago.
Moreover, the betrayer's minions, the "great sages", were also assigned by that man the relics of salvation from the once brave men.
Every relic of salvation has unparalleled power, and many of them have absorbed the experience of the war between humans and demons, and were improved by that person into a special attack version against the "demons".
The more afraid you are, the more defensive you will be.
So it seems that the current human world is much weaker than it was a thousand years ago.
But actually.
The gray hooded people knew very well that this was just a deformed world of slaves created by the traitors. Of course, being a slave did not require strength, as long as you kept producing value for the "master".
If you are really careless because of this...
They gathered underground forces a hundred years ago, and even relied on the secret documents left by "Melvin" to communicate with an extraterritorial race to unite to resist. They thought they could avenge the betrayers, but in the end they had paid a painful lesson with blood and tears. Only in exchange for this information.
And with the arrogance of the demons...
There was almost no hope for the Gray Hoods.
I can't even think of what kind of demon king can fight against the betrayer who holds the power of the "brave".
but.
This is still an opportunity for them.
The gray-cloaked man soon regained some sense and clarity.
He must tell the other "ghosts" this information as soon as possible.
The attack of the demons in the future will still be able to draw most of the betrayers' attention to some extent, and this is a good time for them to develop and regroup their forces.
The demons cannot kill the brave.
This is "given" destiny.
so.
Brave men can only be killed by humans.
Just like what the "betrayer" did back then.
For this reason, the gray-cloaked man finally turned his attention back to Yuffie, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Illinois who was in deep "difficulty".
"My Highness, don't be nervous. The demons should still be in the preparation stage. The shadow demons in you are probably wandering around for reconnaissance without distinction. The top brass of each human kingdom may be dropped. What's more, even if the demons really want to attack, , even if the sky falls, there will still be someone tall to hold it up, and all the pressure from the demons will be placed on the empire, right?"
"In my opinion, Your Highness, this is an excellent opportunity. I know that you have always wanted to make Illinois independent and get rid of the control of the empire. It is precisely because you have such ambitions that you took me in and planned three Queen of Heaven, the plan is to eliminate the Five Flowers Alliance and the imperial emissary together, right?"
"I will take action, become your highness's sharp blade, and clear away all obstacles for you. I think you should be able to trust a seventh-level great mage from a thousand years ago. But after this, I hope you can also Fulfill the agreement and allow Illinois..."
"Take in us homeless ghosts."
