"Second Brother, were you injured last night?"

"Me? Is there a possibility of injury? "

"This..." Zuo Po Jun pondered for a moment, then said: "The way those seven people died was not ordinary miserable. The surface of their bodies had all split open, and their internal organs are even more dilapidated … … I thought it was second brother who accidentally got injured, and that's why I attacked you with such force. "

"Phew …" As expected of the Nightmare Level Mercenary Quest, every step was incredibly difficult. The first wave of monsters that welcomed us were all 1-star elites … Yesterday afternoon in Despair Valley, we were completely disoriented by the Yellow Sand Formation and walked out only in the afternoon. Xiao Yao and Little Jie had almost sunk into the yellow sand. Zuo Po Jun said.

"Mm, you can do it!"

"Heh... Don't worry, we won't go looking for a dream to help us unless we can't do it. Oh right, second brother, when did you come back from the Beginner Village? "

"It may take a long time."

"Oh, the mission to Despair Valley should take a long time as well... What the heck, the crying sounds here are really scary. The content of the mission is to investigate the source of this crying sound... Oh, since Big Sister Fei Fei has arrived and everyone is here, Second Brother, we will go first. "

After hanging up the call, Ye Tian Xie took a few breaths of air and returned to the Beginner Village with the Spatial Orb.

It was around nine in the morning. He greeted the village chief and stopped by Yuan Que's place. Unsurprisingly, he bumped into a hard nail and was driven out by a burst of loud roars. He turned to his target for the day, the smithy.

The blacksmith shop's door was wide open. When Ye Tian Xie walked in, he saw the blacksmith couple standing at the entrance, as if they were waiting for him. Seeing him walk in, the blacksmith's wife nodded slightly and said, "You're here."

When he first saw the blacksmith's wife, Ye Tian Xie felt that she was not normal. Her words had made him shiver, the feeling she gave him back then could be attributed to the crazy state she was in after losing her son. But now, her face was clearly softer, giving him a kind of uncomfortable feeling.

Old Wang, the blacksmith, welcomed him excitedly, "Young man, you're here, it's really … "I really don't know how to thank you. Other than Little Ming's weak body, there's no other injuries on his body at all. He'll be fully recovered after a period of recuperation. We'll never forget this kindness for the rest of our lives once you've brought Little Ming back …"

Ye Tian Xie was stunned as he suspiciously said, "Little Ming, he … …." Resting? From the one yesterday. It's coming out of the glass ball? "

Old Wang nodded. "That's right. That black glass ball disappeared by itself." Although Lil Ming still hasn't woken up, he doesn't look like anything serious. He'll wake up soon. "

Old Wang rubbed his hands in excitement, and then he took out a grey scroll from his clothes. "Young man, the novice village has very few items. As a smithy, I am unable to find anything to repay your kindness …" "This is something that I unintentionally obtained when I was young. Please accept it."

Scrolls?

Ye Tian Xie took it and looked at its stats. The surprised look on his face … …

Celestial Scroll – Stars Transposition: A strange scroll that has the ability to transfer power. It can transfer skills or attributes of equipment not higher than the Mysterious God level to another piece of equipment of any grade. After transfer, the attributes or skills that were transferred to the original equipment will disappear.

Such a miraculous scroll, it could actually transfer skills. The effect was the equivalent of cutting the skill or attributes of one piece of equipment and pasting it onto another.

Ye Tian Xie put away the scroll and said, "Thank you blacksmith master, this scroll will be very helpful to me."

"Hur hur, I feel much more comfortable saying that." Old Wang, the blacksmith, smiled in relief. "Oh yes, if you have anything to do with forging in the future, please look for me as much as you can. There's no need to stand on ceremony."

The quiet blacksmith lady finally spoke up. She said to her husband, "I have some things I want to say to him alone …"

The blacksmith didn't resist and didn't say anything. He just smiled calmly and went into the inner room to take care of Xiao Ming. The blacksmith shop quieted down, leaving only the sound of the fire.

"Sister-in-law, are you really going to tell me some big secret?" Seeing the blacksmith's wife staring at him without saying a word, Ye Tian Xie had no choice but to speak.

The blacksmith's wife had a very complicated expression on her face. Looking at the front, she looked no different from an experienced peasant woman. In fact, she even looked a little older than Old Wang. She said in a low voice, "The reason why I said that was to give myself a reason to convince myself... I didn't think that you could bring Little Ming back … However, since he had said it, he had to do it. And I can see that you're not a bad person. "

"Because I can open the Dark Soul Pearl?" Hearing Ye Tian Xie's words, the blacksmith lady calmly replied without any emotions.

"Only the demons can use the Dark Soul Pearl, and only the demons can open it. Moreover, it had to be a high level magic. "In addition, when I first met you, my whole body felt uncomfortable. That should be the aura of a devil." Ye Tian Xie slowly said.

"Then do you reject demons?" The blacksmith's wife did not deny it. Her expression remained calm.

"I have no reason to reject it. Maybe it is because of some things that it has become synonymous with cruelty and evil, but that does not mean that all demons are evil, just like not all people are good. " Ye Tian Xie replied.

The blacksmith's wife's gaze towards him changed slightly. "You really think so?"

Ye Tian Xie nodded his head.

The blacksmith's wife smiled. She didn't seem to be used to smiling, and the smile she forced herself to smile only lasted for a moment. She looked away and said to the door, "You should know about the Eight Demon Kings that were sealed in the Tower of Destiny a hundred years ago, right?"

"I know, but they've all escaped now." Ye Tian Xie said.

The lady blacksmith nodded her head and said, "Actually, the demons that the Lost Continent people call 'Demon Kings' are not real 'kings'. They are Demon Generals, the only kings are the Demon Gods that the Illusory Beast Clan's four great gods have sealed … Originally, there were a total of nine of these 'Demon Kings'. To use the name Lost Continent, they were the Nine Demon Kings … A hundred years ago in the battle of the Demon Sealing Tombstone, eight were sealed, and one was killed by the Twelve Saints …. And so, the Nine Demons King became the Eight Demon Kings. "

Ye Tian Xie was startled, but his face suddenly changed, "You mean … …." You are the Infernal King who was' killed '? "

"Rakshasi Ghost King." The blacksmith's wife looked at the door and said the name she was trying so hard to forget.

Ye Tian Xie: "!"

"Are you surprised?" The blacksmith's wife looked at him and said.

"Heh …" Anyone would be surprised to hear that. " Ye Tian Xie calmly replied. How could he not be shocked? He had once encountered one of the Eight Demon Kings, the Dark Underworld Ghost King. Being also a Demon King, the appearance of the old woman in front of him was not that astonishing, and she did not have any powerful aura. Even an old woman who looked exactly the same as a human would have this kind of strength … How could he not be shocked?

Who would have thought, who would have thought … The wife of an ordinary blacksmith in a smithy in the Beginner Village turned out to be the Ghost King!

"But it looks like you don't suspect... Hehe, you really aren't mortal. It was incredible, I would have this day, and sometimes even I felt as if I were in a dream. Back then, I thought that I had died as well. That collision of immense power was sufficient to tear my body into pieces … However, due to the immense power, space started to crack apart. My body was pushed into the crack in space by the power, arriving at a sealed location isolated from the world. Furthermore, I woke up after being unconscious for dozens of years. "

Ye Tian Xie: "… …."

"The one who woke me up was my current husband … All that I have is under the care of my husband, and this care lasted for a whole three years. Three years was enough to change a lot of things, and after three years, I finally regained my ability to walk, so I became his wife. "

Ye Tian Xie: "… …."

The blacksmith's wife smiled and said, "Do you think it's unbelievable? As one of the Demon Kings of the Demon race, a devil who once had the power to destroy the world, who once had the ambition to occupy the Lost Continent and bring a great disaster to the Lost Continent, actually took the initiative to marry an ordinary human. But, what did we invade the Lost Continent for? After spending three years in a world of peace and quiet, without strife, without hunger, without hatred, without jealousy, with people who have no regrets, I realized that this was what I wanted in my dreams. The reason why we demons invaded the Lost Continent, wasn't it because we can be like humans, able to live carefree lives in fertile land without hunger … "

A Infernal King, married to a human … This kind of reality really made Ye Tian Xie feel very uncomfortable. He did not doubt the old woman's words, because many things proved that she was no longer lying. He did not let himself be entangled with the matter of a Demon King marrying a blacksmith, so he changed the topic, "That is your choice, I have no right to ask about it … It's just that your last sentence cannot become the reason for the invasion of the Lost Continent. 'In order to be able to lead a better life, I'll have to trample and plunder the lands and homes of others … '

The lady blacksmith did not refute, but said lightly, "Then do you know the origin of the demon race?"

Ye Tian Xie: "?"

"In the early days, demons were not called demons, but were also called humans … That's right, they were people from the Lost Continent. Their only 'mistake' was to train in dark magic. "

"Dark magic?" Ye Tian Xie said in a low voice.

"Yes. Dark magic had immense power and terrifying effects that the other six magic elements couldn't compare to, but everything in the world was in balance. Although the power of darkness was the strongest, it also had its most frightening side effects. Cultivating dark magic would affect a person's temperament to a certain extent. It would make them irritable, make them show more negative emotions, and even occasionally lose control. At the same time, the dark magic's devouring ability would first devour the cultivator's body, causing a normal person to become pitch-black and petite, and even becoming like a skeleton … Later on, those who cultivated in dark magic were rejected because of their fiery temper and ugly appearance, and eventually expelled … It was even a cruel slaughter. In the end, humans swore to completely wipe out this' ugly 'thing called dark magic from the Lost Continent, and so, many people who cultivated dark magic were driven away, many people were killed, and many people escaped … In the end, they gathered together and searched for a barren land that had been abandoned by humans. Without the wealth of the Lost Continent, they would face hunger and cold everyday … Those who cultivated in dark magic would easily be aroused into negative emotions. They would be expelled, brutally killed, and also live a hellish life in that place. They could not help but grow more and more resentful, the dark magic would grow with the growth of the hatred, the resentment would also grow with the growth of the dark magic … Hence, with their hatred and the daily internecine fighting for physical objects, their power of darkness grew stronger and stronger … … The strong have become devils. "

Ye Tian Xie: "… …."

"It was the humans who drove them away. It was the humans who pushed them into a corner, causing them to fall in resentment and become powerful. Then, the humans gave them the title of 'Demons'. Why do they not have the qualifications to take revenge on humans and take back what was originally theirs?! " The blacksmith's wife said in a cold voice.
