The loud bell rang from afar. After hearing the bell, the children of the Griffin House all showed joyful smiles, then put down what they were doing, and trotted up to gather towards the cafeteria.

"It's time to eat."

Irene took Sania's hand and told her the meaning of the bell: "One ringing of the bell means that it's time to eat, and you need to run to the cafeteria immediately. If you are late, there will be no leftovers for you. Ring twice Then you need to gather in the backyard. After that, some important events will often be announced. Once the bell rings three times, it means that a strong enemy is coming, or a disaster breaks out, and you need to take refuge immediately. At that time, in addition to protecting your own safety, , nothing else matters."

As if thinking of something, Irene shook her head again: "However, three beeps almost never happen. As far as I can remember, only when the ghost king Rhodes led the necromancers to plunder, a group of wandering evil corpses When the witch attacked Mingyue City, there were only three rings."

Sania was a little puzzled: "Ghost King? Isn't Rhodes the Lord of the Undead? Why do you call him that?"

Irene's eyes darkened slightly, but she still replied, "That's a contemptuous name for him. My parents died in the battle initiated by the Necromancer. I wouldn't call him the Lord of the Undead."

As if seeing the loss in Irene's heart, Sania was also a little uncomfortable, so she reached out and patted her on the back.

Facing Sania's consolation, Irene just smiled, and soon recovered from the grief, with that cheerful smile on her face again, as if all the pain in the past had been thrown away by her. At the back of her head, she held Sania's hand and said, "If you don't go to the cafeteria soon, all the food will be eaten."

Sania responded with a smile, and the girls held hands and headed towards the cafeteria together.

And at the end of the sky, the saints full of anger were glaring at the Demon King who was standing with his hands behind his back.

Saint Isaac asked loudly: "You count me! You know I can't go back to the clouds, so I can't bring those people a solution to the food problem. The only thing waiting for them is disappointment. They will do bad things." move."

"Before those walking corpses lose their minds, you can stop all this at any time." Lucifer replied bluntly, "You just need to admit that you have lost, and then agree to one of my requests, just like we agreed at the beginning .”

"I will never compromise with the evil." The saint let out a low growl, not accepting the devil's proposal at all. He turned his head to the side, still looking at the human beings below, "Even if I can't help them, I will I still have faith in them, and I believe that humanity will unite and overcome all the difficulties it faces."

At the feet of the two, Sania also entered the cafeteria under the leadership of Irene. In the spacious room, two wooden long tables are arranged as a whole, and children are divided according to gender, sitting neatly on both sides of different long tables, waiting for something.

Irene brought Sania to the long table that belonged to girls, and sat down in two adjacent vacant seats.

Although the children gathered here, none of them made a sound, and all looked eagerly in one direction, where a tall and thin middle-aged woman stared at everyone with a sullen face. Sania recognized that person. It was Madeleine who had dragged away the drunk in the front yard not long ago. She was also the manager in Irene's mouth.

After confirming the number of people, Madeli began to distribute food to each child, and Sania also got her share, a small piece of dry, hard black bread, and a piece of raw meat that gave off a fishy smell.

"Is this what you guys eat?" Sania asked in surprise, even though she was traveling with the saints, she had never eaten such unpalatable food.

Irene nodded: "Since the flames in the world went out, we can eat less and less. In the first period of time, we could still eat fresh vegetables. After that, the supply of food became less and less. Now, there's only so much in a day."

While speaking, Irene wrapped black bread with raw meat, put it in her mouth and chewed vigorously. She ate food that was supposed to be hard to swallow and tasted like wax, but she ate it with relish. She covered her mouth with her hand to prevent any crumbs from leaking out of her mouth. This is the only food she can eat today, even if there is a little bit of waste, she will be very intolerable.

"I heard that eating raw meat will make people very weak and have physical problems." Sania said with some concern.

Irene wiped her mouth and said, "I know, but do you have any good ideas? The flames of the world have been completely extinguished. According to Ms. Madeleine, it was done by one of the demon kings of hell. The demon king took away the world." All the flames leave the world with only darkness and coldness, and it would be nice to have these raw meats.”

Eileen paused, and then added: "Sometimes I envy those barbarians. Have you ever heard of barbarians? They live in the westernmost part of the mainland, on a wasteland called Krulod. I heard that they don't Without the use of flames, they would eat the raw meat of their prey and live a life of drinking blood, even if all the flames in the world were extinguished, it would not affect them in any way."

Hearing Irene mention the barbarians, Sania shook her head. She had never heard of the existence of such strange creatures, but her eyes were firmly attracted by Irene's narration, and she kept imagining in her mind how such creatures could survive without flames. continue to live in the world. Perhaps only barbarians are not affected by the silence of the flames.

At the end, Irene set her eyes on the raw meat in front of Sania, with a bit of desire in her eyes: "If you really don't want to eat it, then give it to me."

Sania frowned slightly at this time, as if some memories were recalled in her mind. Although the flames in the world were extinguished, the food she ate was not all cold during the journey with the saints. She clearly remembered that Saint Isaac had given her warm cooked meat.

Thinking of this, Sania couldn't help sighing softly: "It would be great if Isaac stayed here. He knows how to heat food, and he will definitely solve the current trouble."

In the high sky above, Isaac seemed to hear the girl's prayer. At this moment, he closed his eyes, and the power belonging to the saint began to pass along the bond between him and the girl.

On the side, Lucifer just looked at him indifferently, without any intention of intervening.

Sania, who was silently calling the saint's name in her heart, suddenly felt her waist burning. She reached out to pick up the hot thing, and found that it was the seal that Isaac had left for her.

The round stone seal became extremely hot at this moment, and hot air erupted from it. Sania didn't hold the seal for a long time, but she couldn't bear the heat, and quickly threw it on the table in front of her. Go up, and then keep blowing on some of the burned palms.

After discovering the change of the seal, Sania's eyes suddenly brightened. Perhaps her prayer was fulfilled. She took the raw meat with a strong fishy smell and spread it on the surface of the seal.

The bright red raw meat covered the inscription on the seal, the young man who was sacrificed in the flames, as the faint white smoke rose, the color of the raw meat darkened little by little under the action of the heat, faintly audible Hearing the sizzling sound, bursts of meaty aroma spread to the surroundings, and one could even see warm fat dripping from the edge of the meat slices.

The children nearby sniffed their noses one after another, trying to find the source of the scent. It had been a long time since the flames in the world had been completely extinguished, and they hadn't smelled such a pure smell of meat. It is delicious and hot cooked meat.

The same is true for Irene. Seeing Sania juggling and finding a way to heat the raw meat, her eyes straightened up at this moment, and there were a few gurgling sounds in her stomach that she didn't even hear clearly.

Seeing that the seal was working, Sania showed joy. She was not in a hurry to eat the cooked meat, but looked at Irene aside, and patiently helped herself along the way to lead her to familiarize herself with the entire family of griffins. Irene, who explained, was full of gratitude in her heart.

"You eat, Irene." Sania said, "This is the seal left by the saints for me. I didn't expect it to have such effects. You don't have to eat raw meat anymore."

Irene showed a grateful smile, did not refuse Sania's kindness, and picked up the cooked meat on the seal and ate it.

Although when she grabbed the cooked meat, the hot cooked meat made it difficult for Irene's hot hand to hold it steady, but she endured the scalding and ate it in one bite before the cooked meat cooled, as if to Let all the heat stay in your body.

Sania patted her on the back and told her to eat slowly, so as not to choke on half of the meal. At this moment, a childish male voice came from the side: "You... how did you do it? Can you warm up my meat too?"

Sania looked up, but saw that whether it was the girl on her side of the table or the boy on the other long table, they all looked at her at this time, presumably because they were attracted by the piece of cooked meat. With curiosity and surprise, one of the boys boldly stepped forward, walked to her side, and asked her.

Before Sania could answer, she heard a reprimand: "What are you doing here? Go back to your seat as soon as possible."

Hearing the reprimand, the boy stuck out his tongue helplessly, and hurried back to his original seat without waiting for Sania's answer, as if something bad would happen if he slowed down.

After the boy was seated, the tall and thin woman who distributed the food to all the children, the manager Madeleine, came over.

As soon as she got closer, Madeleine frowned, and she immediately smelled that there seemed to be some smells that shouldn't appear nearby. It was clearly the smell of roasted meat. Since the flames completely fell silent, she had already I haven't smelled this kind of breath for a long time, and that is simply impossible.

A wave of heat hit Madeleine. In front of Sania, the seal belonging to the saint was still emitting heat. In the age of flame silence, it is like a mass of blazing fire, enough to dispel all the cold in the vicinity.

"What is that?" Madeli asked Sania. As the manager of the Griffin House, Madeli had never seen such a strange thing on any child, and she could only be brought up by a saint. Only the girl who came here can explain everything that happened before my eyes.

"This is the seal that Isaac left me, as long as I see that seal, I will think of him." The girl brought by the saint replied.

Thinking of everything about the saint, Sania's heart was filled with warmth, just like what the saint said when he handed the seal to her, when she held the seal, nothing could scare her.

"Really...it turns out that this is something left by the saints."

Madeleine nodded and said, she stretched out a finger, and carefully touched the surface of the seal, but immediately withdrew her hand after being burned, and her expression became very happy. Such a hot seal, even if there is no fire, is hotter than the fire, which is exactly what people need urgently.

Seeing this, Madeli clapped her hands vigorously, and waited until all the children looked over, then said:

"Today, the Griffin House will usher in a new family member. Maybe some of you have heard about it, but you must have never seen her in person. She is Sania brought by the saints. , from now on, she will be a member of the Griffin Family, you must get along well with her and treat her like your own brothers and sisters."

Following Madeleine's introduction, the nearby children also set their sights on Sania, with a bit of hope and curiosity in their eyes. The strangeness of Sania has long been noticed by the nearby children.

After the introduction, Ms. Madeli returned to Sania's side and asked her:

"Sania, the saint's seal can heat like fire. This is a precious thing that we urgently need. With it, each of us can eat cooked food in the dark age without flame. It belongs to you, So I implore you to lend it to us, even if you refuse, it doesn’t matter, the saints sending you here is a great encouragement to us.”

"This is the only thing Isaac left me, I should treasure it well..."

Sania lowered her voice, facing the expectations of the children nearby, especially Irene's almost shining eyes, she finally changed her words: "However, if Isaac is still here, he must be happy to help everyone, How can I disappoint him? If you need this seal, then use it."

The children nearby cheered with joy, and Ms. Madeli also showed a gentle smile in her eyes. Surrounded by everyone, Irene's smile was particularly bright. This joy eventually infected Sania, making her no longer Worry about losing your seal.

"Sania... well done."

At the end of the sky, the saint was also happy for the girl's choice from the bottom of his heart. He let out a long breath, and even looked at Lucifer with sharp eyes, as if he sneered at everything the devil said before: "Look Arrived? This is the choice of mankind. What do you want to prove to me?"

The Demon King raised a finger in a hissing gesture, signaling that he just had to be patient.
