Patapapapapap——
The wind and snow yearned for the tenderness of life, desperately shaking the windows of the Demon King's City.
A rare heavy snowfall, no one can stay in the wild for twenty minutes in this kind of weather.
In order to cope with this kind of weather, Li Mo nailed all the windows with wooden boards, but did not lock the gate of Demon King's City.
"Ali, please add some more firewood."
The blazing fire made the devil's face turn red. Even though she was sitting in front of the stove with the quilt draped over her body, she was still shivering.
"Is it such an exaggeration, Lord Demon King?"
Li Mo smiled helplessly and used tongs to put a small piece of firewood into the stove.
The flames like hungry beasts crazily devoured the newly put firewood, but did not return much warmth to the people on the side. In this cold winter, all interests will no longer be equal.
"What are you thinking about, Ali?"
After Li Mo put down the tongs, he kept staring at the fire. The firelight flickered in his eyes, but his eyes looked dim and he remained motionless and silent.
"Just a few things."
Li Mo smiled at the Demon King and gave an answer that was not really an answer.
"Recently, no brave men have come here."
The Demon King didn't want to get to the bottom of it, and while looking for a new topic, he picked up the fire tongs that Li Mo had put down and started to turn over the charcoal in the stove. The charcoal accumulated at the bottom tasted the freshness of the air, and suddenly became dim after a sudden mania.
"Yes, this kind of weather scares even the brave."
"Anyway, no one is coming. Ah Li, go and close the front door."
"No, just wait a little longer."
Li Mo hesitated for a long while before giving this answer.
"I said, Ali, are you thinking about the brave man back then? You haven't forgotten it yet."
"Haha, if you can say that, doesn't it mean that you haven't forgotten it either?"
Li Mo laughed, but then fell silent after sighing.
"That guy...that guy is quite interesting for a human being."
Li Mo murmured.
"It's not interesting at all. He's just an idiot."
"Remember at that time, the snow seemed a little lighter than now..."
Yes, although it was not as good as now, it was still a terrible snowy night, and the story begins with an uninvited guest.
Boom——
The sudden loud noise startled Li Mo, who was nailing a window on the side, and the iron nail he was holding in his mouth for convenience fell to the ground.
It was the gate of Demon King's City that was pushed open violently, but such a strong force was probably caused by the strong wind, because the person standing at the door could no longer use such great strength.
"Are you sick at this time?"
The face, neck, arms, and ankles of the boy in front of him were all covered with frostbite, but it didn't seem like he was doing this just to look cool.
A dagger without a scabbard and a damaged leather armor, Li Mo would believe it if he said it was picked up from a garbage dump.
Moreover, he suffered not only frostbite, but also blood marks on the linen wrapped around his thigh. Using that kind of thing to bandage the wound seemed like a few lives would not be enough for Li Mo.
"Close the door quickly. If you're not cold, I'm still cold."
Li Mo didn't even have to think about it, this must be the brave man who came to challenge. Li Mo didn't want to be polite to the brave man, urging him while picking up the nails that fell on the ground.
"Wake up... wake up, Demon King."
Li Mo's urging had no effect. The brave man held on to the wall and kept panting, and raised his dagger towards Li Mo.
Li Mo thought that there should be no feeling in that hand. He could hold the sword because it was completely frozen and his breath was chaotic. If he were left here, he would be dead in less than half a moment.
"Oh——, everyone is like this, I am not the devil."
Li Mo sighed and complained as he walked past the hero and closed the fully open door.
"Hey, can you still leave?"
Turning around, the guy was still standing there panting, without any reaction even when Li Mo walked past him recklessly.
"It seems like it won't work anymore."
She shook her head and walked over to him, lifting him on her shoulders.
"Hey, what are you doing! Let me go!"
"You still have the energy to make a fuss. It seems like you won't die just yet."
Just as Li Mo thought, the moment he picked up the hero, the dagger slipped from his hand. He seemed to have tried his best to break away from Li Mo, but in his current situation, even Li Mo couldn't. He can be easily subdued.
A moment later, in the restaurant of Demon King City.
The stove was lit, and steaming seaweed soup and white porridge were placed in front of the brave man.
"So, who is this guy?"
The Demon King, who was standing watching in his pajamas and wrapped in a quilt, suddenly asked.
"Don't you want to drink? Even though it's still warm now, it will get cold soon."
"Don't ignore Yu, smelly Limo."
Li Mo ignored the Demon King's question and met the brave man's gaze. It was a fierce look like staring at the prey, but Li Mo liked it quite a lot. The brave men recently lacked this kind of look.
"Don't think the food is bad. I can see from the look on your face that you have never eaten properly. The stomach raised by such a life cannot withstand the mess. I will do this for today, and I will wait until tomorrow to give you something good to eat."
The brave man in front of him was probably only 12 or 3 years old. He was small and could be compared with the Demon King. His arms were pitifully thin and he was so light that even Li Mo who was carrying him was a little frightened.
As the chief nutritionist and chief physician of Demon King City, Li Mo knew that if he gave him something so-called nutritious right away, he would be able to spit it out tonight.
"What is your...purpose?"
When you calm down and listen, you can see that the voice is really hoarse, and it seems that the throat is also frostbitten.
The brave man who had been silent since entering the inner room finally spoke his first words, but these first words made Li Mo helplessly shake his head.
"Before asking this kind of question, it's better to think about what I can gain from you."
"..."
Silence, after which he picked up the porridge and drank it in one gulp.
"I wouldn't take this as a favor."
He gritted his teeth and wiped his mouth harshly with his hand, as if he was blaming himself.
"I don't intend to show you any kindness either."
With that said, Li Mo took out a knife.
"What do you want to do!"
The hero saw the knife and hurriedly stepped back, but his feet got caught on the chair and he sat down on the ground.
"do not move!"
Li Mo's words contained anger. With this roar, the brave man sitting on the ground trembled all over. His hands and feet were more serious than being frozen by the wind and snow, and they were completely out of control.
"Don't come here!"
Gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, he seemed like a rabbit waiting to be snatched away by a hyena.
"Can't you be quieter?"
Li Mo used a knife to cut open the linen wrapped around the hero's leg. It was not a recent injury, but it was just that he had not received effective treatment. The flesh and blood were stuck to it.
This is a bit troublesome to deal with.
"It will hurt a little, bear with it."
Li Mo poured the alcohol on it and used a knife to completely cut off the linen cloth.
After checking the wound, Li Mo determined that it was bitten by a large feline animal. He applied special wound medicine and bandaged it with clean gauze and bandages.
The treatment process was very short, but the pain was extremely painful, but to Li Mo's surprise, the brave man didn't even cry out.
"It's so well wrapped."
Looking at the even and beautiful bandages on his legs, the brave man with sweat all over his forehead said involuntarily.
"Humph, for a general of the Yu family, this is natural."
Although he did nothing, the Demon King looked proudly at the side with his head raised.
"Who is this dwarf?"
"Don't call me dwarf! And you're a dwarf too, aren't you?"
"Master Demon King, don't you admit that you are short by saying this?"
The corner of the brave man's eyes trembled, and he stared at Li Mo in a blink of an eye, with an expression of disbelief that was probably what he said.
"Aren't you the Demon King?"
"Didn't I tell you that from the beginning?"
Li Mo stood next to the Demon King and waved his tailcoat:
"I am the strongest and wisest general in the Demon King's army, named Li Mo, and this is the ruler of the Demon King's Continent, the real Demon King!"
Li Mo saw the familiar shock on the brave man's face. He had seen this expression on the face of almost every brave man who came to challenge.
"Although it's a little late, I still have to tell you, brave man!"
Welcome to the Demon King's Castle!
