The night breeze caressed their faces, making Iris feel even more comfortable.
Roa also felt comfortable. The girl was like a docile cat, and the touch of warmth came from his fingertips, with soft strands of hair brushing across his fingertips.
"A story? Mine?"
"Yes, I want to hear about you, Big Brother."
Roa thought for a moment and then slowly began to say, "Well, there are some. In my world, there is a kind of existence similar to ghouls. They have a long history and powerful martial arts, but these are not without a price, and the biggest price is that they need to eat human flesh to satisfy their appetite."
"Ah?"
Iris exclaimed softly. The girl sat up from the boy's body, her face turning ugly.
But after meeting Roa's calm eyes, Iris slowly lay down again.
"What happened next?" Iris asked with some worry on her face.
"Of course, later they all died." Roa's movements didn't stop at all. He moved Iris up a bit because the previous position was a little uncomfortable.
"How did they die?" Iris followed Roa's movements and leaned closer to the boy.
"I killed them." Roa was still very calm, and his tone didn't change at all.
"All of them?" Iris asked.
"All of them." Roa replied.
Iris sat down and breathed a long sigh of relief.
But what replaced it was the doubt on her face.
"I've never heard of such a thing before."
Iris didn't say these words. Iris met Roa's eyes, and her light golden eyes seemed very calm at this moment, but the gentle smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared without a trace at some point.
Noticing Iris's gaze, Roa asked with some doubt, "Iris, do you still want to listen?"
Iris hesitated for a moment, nodded, and her expression became a little serious.
"They are called demons, and the strongest leader is called the Demon King. The Demon King shares his blood with ordinary humans. Among those ordinary people, there are many with outstanding talents, and those who can withstand the Demon King's blood will gain special abilities, and those abilities are called Blood Demon Arts."
Roa paused, glanced at Iris, and seeing that she was listening attentively, Roa continued, "Of course, the Demon King has the right to control the life and death of those demons, and among those controlled demons, the twelve strongest demons are called the Upper Moons and Lower Moons. There are twelve Upper and Lower Moons in total, six Upper Moons and six Lower Moons."
Iris frowned slightly and said seriously, "In that case, wouldn't they be very difficult to deal with?"
Roa shrugged and said, "Who says they aren't?"
Iris didn't continue to speak, waiting for the boy to continue telling the story below.
"But these demons all have one thing in common, that is, they are very afraid of sunlight. The Demon King is also among them, but he wants to find a plant, a legendary plant that can make demons no longer afraid of sunlight."
"Demons eat people, which will naturally cause panic among the people in the town. At that time, the adventurers in the town were not very strong. Everyone worked together to fight against the demons and prevent them from coming out to eat people."
"This is probably the background of this story."
Roa raised his eyes and looked at Iris. The girl's face still had a hint of nervousness. Roa thought for a moment and comforted her softly, "There's no need to be nervous. This matter has been resolved, and the Demon King has been killed by me."
Iris nodded, her eyes flashing with a different color, and leaned on Roa's chest.
The boy's chest was very strong. The girl snuggled in Roa's arms, and their two golden heads leaned together, looking very harmonious.
The night breeze brought a strong autumn feeling to the two of them, and the warm breeze caressed their hair, with golden strands of hair swaying slightly in the evening wind.
Roa's storytelling skills were average, but because it was a personal experience, it seemed very real.
How to hunt demons, what special abilities demons have, and why they become demons.
Roa told a lot until the girl yawned sleepily and fell asleep in Roa's arms.
Roa's voice stopped abruptly, and he looked at Iris's quiet and delicate sleeping face and shook his head with a smile.
But this was not a place to sleep. Roa called out to the door, and the maid who had been standing at the door walked over quickly. The maid looked at Iris in Roa's arms and then at Roa's calm face, and a hint of a different color flashed in her eyes.
"Your Highness is really trusting of you." The maid said with some emotion, gently picking up Iris from Roa's arms and nodding slightly.
When Iris was taken over by the maid, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if she was a little uncomfortable.
The maid's movements became more gentle, trying to avoid disturbing Iris's sleep.
"Then, I'll leave Iris to you. I'm going to rest."
"Okay."
The conversation between the two ended here. Roa got up, stretched, and walked towards his room.
Nothing happened overnight. Roa flipped through a book for a while and then fell asleep. The next morning, Roa opened his eyes and got up.
As always, he brushed his teeth and washed his face, wiped his wet cheeks with a towel, looked at himself in the mirror, tidied himself up a bit, and then walked out of the room.
Roa came to the palace, of course, not for a vacation.
The Royal capital was currently short of manpower because the Demon King's army didn't know when it would attack the Royal capital, and the number of attacks was more frequent than before. Therefore, more reservists were needed to go to the front line to fight the Demon King's army.
The reservists were only a part of it. The main force was actually the adventurers. The adventurers here didn't only refer to the adventurers who were born and raised in the Royal capital, but also elite adventurers from various states and counties.
And Roa was the high-level adventurer recommended by that remote town.
Of course, Roa was considered one of the strongest among these elite adventurers, and his record was the most glorious.
The old president strongly recommended Roa, and in the end, he praised Roa to the skies.
In the end, there were seven adventurers who entered the city, and only Roa stood out.
Iris only met Roa.
Then the following series of events happened.
The rapid progress of the relationship with Iris was something that Roa had not expected.
But even though his relationship with Iris was very good, and she even directly regarded Roa as her brother, Roa still had his own things to do on this trip to the Royal capital.
Show his strength, and then, based on the strength he showed, assign Roa the task of fighting against the Demon King's army.
