I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

Mira tilted her head, her long, greyish-white ears swaying with her movement, and asked in a puzzled tone:

"But even orcs have half-human blood, so at least they can communicate, intermarry, and understand humans. Demons...aren't they born enemies of humans? I've read in books that humans and demons are sworn enemies, and they fight to the death whenever they meet."

Lilith, displeased with this, stepped forward and retorted sharply:

"They're not inherently hostile! Most demons are peace-loving! It's just that some powerful and warlike races, like the Flame Demons, Shadow Demons, and Bone Demons, have used force to control public opinion and administration in the demon realm! Ordinary demons don't want to fight at all!"

"But hasn't the Demon King already attacked the human kingdoms, and I heard he even attacked the elven royal court recently?"

"He doesn't represent all demons! Take your orc leader, Pirate King Lone Reef, for example; he's half werewolf, and werewolves are standard demons!"

Mira continued smiling, as if she had expected this, and replied:

"It's true that werewolves are demons, but on the other hand, if demons can accept werewolves, why can't we orcs establish our own kingdom? I just want to invite you to join, not to start a fight."

"You, you're twisting the facts!"

"I'm just stating the facts."

Elena leaned against the windowsill, tilted her head slightly, and said in a voice only Ji Tian could hear, "They're... kind of cute like this."

Ji Tian declined to comment.

In the end, Lilith couldn't win the argument against Mira.

Her vocabulary was not rich enough, and her logic was always cleverly bypassed by Mira at key points.

After holding it in for a while, Lilith turned to Ji Tian, ​​her cheeks puffed out: "Master! Tell me! Do you support her or me?"

Ji Tian shrugged. "I don't support either side, and I won't join the Orc Kingdom."

"Hmph! Did you hear me?"

Lilith immediately turned her head, made a face at Mira with a proud and arrogant air, but then realized that sticking out her tongue was a bit impolite, so she forcibly pulled it back, turning into an awkward expression of wanting to vomit but not daring to.

Mira stared at her expression, seemingly in disbelief, for a moment, then stomped her foot: "You...you're all in cahoots?!"

"You're only just realizing this?"

Lilith stood with her hands on her hips and her chin slightly raised, as if she had won a great victory.

Mira pursed her lips, but quickly regained her composure. She sighed, untied the silver bell from her left wrist, and handed it to Ji Tian.

"Here, take this."

"What is this?"

"Silver Bell, wear it, and the soldiers on the island won't bother you."

Ji Tian took the silver bell. It was slightly cool to the touch. The surface of the bell was engraved with fine patterns, and it made a pleasant sound when shaken gently.

Mira's tone became more serious. "Also, don't go near the coral reef area I took you through yesterday. There are forbidden experiments being conducted in that area, and it's very dangerous."

She finished speaking and flashed that lively smile again: "Have a great time on the island. If you change your mind and want to join us, feel free to come find me anytime!"

She waved and turned to walk down the corridor toward the stairwell.

Lilith watched her disappear around the corner of the stairs before turning her gaze back to the silver bell in Ji Tian's hand, then looked at her own empty hands.

She gritted her teeth and took out a cracked silver ring from her storage ring.

It was the very one her father had left her, but which was shattered by Ji Tian's two punches when they first met. She later managed to piece it back together and has carried it with her ever since.

"master!"

Ji Tian was already used to Lilith's sudden outbursts, so he turned his head and waited for her to speak.

Lilith handed him the broken ring: "This is for you!"

"Need not."

"Why? This is the only thing I have left to give you."

It only makes sense to give away things that originally belonged to Lilith; besides this ring, the only other things that mattered were her purple dress and other undergarments.

Those things are absolutely not to be given away!

Although giving a ring was a clever idea on Lilith's part, what else could she give if the other person didn't want the ring?

Just as I was fretting, I heard a voice from the other side:

"Because according to common sense, once such an important item with special status is given away, it will inevitably trigger a plot-driven death. I will naturally not die, but you may not."

Although they will all be resurrected in the end.

Lilith tried hard to understand him, but ultimately failed: "Master, you're saying things I don't understand again..."

"Then don't bother sending it, just keep it safe."

Lilith pouted, put the ring back into her storage ring, and muttered under her breath:

"It's best if it's not because it's broken..."

Elena couldn't help but smile, stepped forward, and gently patted Lilith's shoulder: "He probably thinks the ring is too important."

"From the results, there's not much difference..."

……

Downstairs at the inn, as Mira stepped out the door, four orc soldiers were dragging a bound pirate out of the inn next door. The man was still struggling and cursing when he was finally gagged with a rag.

Mira waved to them: "Stop searching, come back with me first, I have important information to report."

"Yes, Lady Mira!"

The soldiers exchanged glances, pushed the pirate to the other guards who had rushed over, and quickly followed Mira.

When she first met Ji Tian and the others, she did lie about her identity; she was actually a native of the island.

However, she has a somewhat special status, having a human archmage father, while Mira herself calls the pirate king Lone Reef "uncle".

As for her previous mission to guide pirates and her current mission to capture them? It was simply something she did out of interest.

Of course, the main reason is that there are too few pure humans on the island. When I was a child, I often heard my father talk about the power and prosperity of the human kingdom, so I couldn't help but be curious.

As expected, a very important person arrived after this introduction.

At first, Mira was simply curious about these people, but since the four of them dared to come to the island for a meeting and were not intercepted by pirates on the way, she took the initiative to go up and chat with them.

During the conversation, I didn't notice anything different and just assumed they were a lucky bunch.

But her recent meeting completely changed her mind; the intense aura of forbidden magic emanating from the leading man made her heart pound.

The opponent either just released a forbidden spell and is a Grand Magister or higher, or they have taken a forbidden spell and are at least a Legendary Magister.

The distinction between Grand Magisters and Legendary Magisters is truly remarkable:

To survive a forbidden curse is legendary.

The kingdom and the church have virtually no control over forbidden spells at sea, so he was often used by his archmage father and orc archmage uncle for forbidden spell experiments. Now he can release forbidden spells that only target living beings.

She grew up on the edge of the aftermath of forbidden spells and experimental fields, and knew what traces would remain on the bodies of those who had come into contact with forbidden spells. The intensity of the aura on Ji Tian's body far exceeded any experiment she had ever seen.

"Luckily I didn't let the soldiers take action at first, otherwise we would have been really done for."
