The Crystal Palace Plan of the Sinner Lord

Chapter 3: Illidan's Power

In fact, Irene regretted it a little as soon as she walked out of the cave.

It's night now.

The wind was howling and the shadows of the trees were swaying like demons with bared fangs and claws.

She identified the direction with the little knowledge she had and mustered up the courage to move forward.

She kept telling herself to hold on, because she would see Kate as long as she reached the outpost.

However, the sudden rustling sound in the bushes made her stop in fear and hold her breath.

"Crash--" Three gray wolves the size of calves rushed out from the bushes.

From those three pairs of dark green wolf eyes, it can be seen that they are very hungry and urgently need a delicious meal to resist the coldness of the sunset forest at night.

"Help, help!"

Irene turned around trembling and tried to look for the demon's cave, which was the only chance of survival, but she found that she had walked into the depths of the jungle without knowing when.

It was dark all around, how could I find the direction in such a panic?

The three gray wolves were getting closer.

She could almost smell the stench coming from that bloody mouth.

It’s over, I’m really going to die this time.

Irene fell to the ground and hugged her knees sadly.

One of the gray wolves could no longer resist the tempting smell of meat and pounced out.

A gust of evil wind blew towards me.

The girl turned pale, sobbed, and lowered her head, waiting to die.

The gray wolf's bloody mouth bit her calf, and the heart-wrenching pain made her scream. The howling of the prey made the surrounding gray wolves even more excited.

They swarmed forward.

Irene closed her eyes and bit her red lips tightly.

However, he did not feel the pain of his neck being bitten, but instead heard the gray wolf's howl and a muffled sound.

"roll--!!"

The violent roar made Irene's ears buzz.

Then she was picked up from behind by a thick, black-scaled arm.

Caesar had long calculated that Irene would inevitably encounter wild beasts hunting at night. Even if he was unlucky enough not to encounter one, he would have the goblins drive a few wild beasts over. Now that Irene had been bitten, it was within his expectations, so he could no longer find a reason to run around.

The giant gray wolf in Sunset Forest was a nightmare to ordinary people, but to him, a second-level demon, the giant gray wolf that was not even a monster was just a dish on the menu. He waved his hand:

"Bam—"

Irene only saw the gray wolf that was rushing towards her being knocked away by the demon's axe and hitting a tree trunk. Its head and body were separated when it landed on the ground. The remaining two gray wolves saw that the situation was not good and wanted to run away. One was kicked away and vomited blood and died, and the other one ran only a few steps before the demon caught up with it, grabbed its tail, swung it left and right, and smashed it to the ground and died instantly.

In just three breaths of time, the terrible gray wolf was killed instantly.

"Okay, so awesome..."

The danger was over, and Irene huddled in the broad chest. For the first time in her life, she felt a sense of solidity, a sense of security. However, before she could enjoy this feeling of warmth and security for long, she was casually let go by the demon.

[Irene's favorability +20, currently 20 (attention)]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: Illidan Bloodline]

[The next stage rewards 50 favorability points (Karl Bloodhoof's weapon: Destruction Axe), please keep up the good work! ]

The moment he received the reward, Caesar felt a powerful force surging throughout his body. His body rapidly expanded to more than three meters in height, and his strength soared to the third level.

He clenched his fists, feeling extremely surprised.

Such strength is already a standard leader in the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

"Mr. Demon, you..."

Caesar glanced at the girl coldly, said nothing, and returned to his nest.

Irene stood there at a loss, feeling severe pain in her legs, and the coldness of the forest at night made her face even paler. If she continued to stay here, she would soon attract new wild beasts.

A trace of struggle appeared on the girl's face.

After a slight hesitation, she staggered behind the demon, dragging her bitten leg, but after only a few steps she was tripped by the tangled vines in the woods and fell to the ground.

"Ah..." The painful whimper echoed in the dark forest.

The demon's back was getting farther and farther away.

The cold wind made the leaves in the forest rustle.

There was a patter of rain falling on the girl's face.

It's raining.

Irene huddled in a bush in a miserable state, her hands covered in mud. The poison from the gray wolf's fangs also made her brain increasingly dull. At the last moment when her vision fell into darkness, she seemed to see the demon in front of her pause slightly.

……

……

Caesar turned around, picked up the girl and carried her on his shoulders.

The teeth of the wild animals in the Sunset Forest are basically poisonous.

Ordinary humans would quickly fall into coma after being bitten, and would die soon if the wound was not treated in time. He didn't really want the girl to die here. After all, he was still thinking about the reward of 50 favorability.

On the way back, he picked up some herbs for hemostasis and disinfection.

As for Irene's leg, it's lame.

Besides, he just took a look and saw that the wolf that bit Irene should be an old wolf. Its teeth only penetrated the flesh and failed to break the leg bone. As long as the leg was disinfected and the bleeding was stopped, the leg would heal soon.

……

When Irene woke up, she smelled medicine.

She opened her eyes hazily and saw a large figure sorting herbs. Her leg still ached slightly, but it had been applied with medicine and simply bandaged.

Are these...all done by demons?

Caesar noticed the girl's inquiring gaze, so he threw the herbs into the stone pot and said with a fake smile: "The Sunset Forest is very dangerous at night. I didn't want to care about you and let you fend for yourself, but you dying near my nest will bring me trouble. Get out of here as soon as you recover from your injuries!"

[Irene's favorability +10, currently 30 (attention)]

It seems that the favorability has increased a bit.

Caesar's mouth twitched, but he said nothing.

[Irene's favorability +10, currently 40 (attention)]

Caesar: "(°ー°〃)!?"

Why is it still growing?

This little girl deserves to be scolded, right?

"Thank you, Mr. Demon, thank you for saving my life... I, I will repay you!" Irene lowered her head timidly, placing her fingers in front of her lower abdomen and stirring them.

Although I was still in shock, my legs were weak.

But facing his savior Irene, his attitude naturally softened a lot.

She really intended to repay Caesar, because she felt that Caesar was different from those cruel demons! So even if Caesar cursed her, she didn't think there was anything wrong. When her leg healed and she returned to Kate, she would secretly prepare some snacks for Caesar.

Of course, these are definitely not enough to repay the life-saving grace.

But that was all she could think of right now.

"If you want to repay me, be my woman!"

“This, this may be difficult…” Irene blushed and said helplessly, “Mr. Demon, you are a demon, you should find a beautiful demon.”

"If you can't do it, get out!"

Caesar pulled the animal skin mat off Irene's body and went deep into the cave to sleep, leaving the girl standing there at a loss.

……

Silent all night.

Early in the morning, Caesar was awakened by the goblins' "grunting" roars.

The group of green dwarfs jumped and danced in front of him.

Their crude language and clumsy movements conveyed a vague message - five adventurers were approaching the cave.

Among them there was a mage, a priest, and the rest were all warriors. As for their strength, they only had a vague idea, which was that they were very young, but stronger than these goblins.

Being young means having no experience. In the past, Caesar would have thought twice before making such a decision.

Now that he is at level three, he can easily defeat a newbie from the village Adventurer's Guild with one hand.

Caesar turned his head and glanced at Irene. The girl must have been very cold last night, so she curled up next to him in the second half of the night. Now she was sleeping soundly with a hide mat in her arms. Her legs had not yet healed, and there were goblins stationed around, so he was not afraid that Irene would escape.

"Take me there!"

He retracted his gaze and gave an order to the goblin in front of him.

……

Chapter 4: People always like to wear masks

In the dark forest.

A group of people were groping forward.

This is a group of white pottery-level adventurers from the Blackrock Adventurer's Guild. To put it bluntly, they are rookies.

But the team mix is ​​reasonable.

Two warriors engage the enemy in close combat, while one guards the priest and mage.

It's just that they are too young, and they are all immature. No matter how good the team configuration is, it cannot make up for the lack of combat experience.

"It's so dark here..."

The priest girl who was at the end grumbled. Even the illumination spell could hardly dispel the inky darkness, which indicated that they had entered the territory of monsters.

"As long as we find the demon's lair!"

The soldier in front held a torch and looked relaxed.

"There are only 12 goblins left under the demon tribe. If we rescue Miss Irene, we will get a reward of 5 gold coins, which is enough for us to buy new equipment. Shana, don't you want to buy that gospel book?"

The pastor girl perked up a little at the mention of the Gospels.

She took a deep breath and tried not to be so scared: "Yes, yes, it's just 12 goblins and a second-level demon. We can do it!"

"I will protect you, Shana."

The young wizard next to him had a handsome appearance, with a flame dancing flexibly on his fingertips like an elf. He was wearing a very flashy robe, which not only showed his identity as a wizard, but also made him particularly eye-catching.

“Green…”

Shana's pretty face turned red, and she looked at the wizard beside her lovingly. She felt sweet in her heart. It was really good to be protected by someone.

Green is a very talented fire mage.

Although he is only a first-level apprentice, his equipment is very luxurious. He seems to have a strong background, but he is also an elegant and humble man. He even joined this newbie team for her.

"Tsk tsk, we are on a mission now!"

"That's right, could you please be considerate of the feelings of single people?"

The other two warrior brothers in the team complained in dissatisfaction.

Shana's face turned even redder.

Green next to him had a faint smile on his face.

No one noticed that the chirping of insects around them had disappeared, the wind had stopped, and a deathly silence lurked amid the laughter and joy.

"Whoosh-"
