She kindly went to the desert to visit Fan and persuaded him to temporarily return to the Demon Realm with her through teleportation magic.

However, Van refused her offer and stubbornly continued his journey across the desert. He believed that Felsa, or Elfons, was still within the desert's boundaries. Knowing the young man's temperament well, Youzi left after offering a few words of concern.

Fan learned by chance from her that two days ago, the Demon Lord revealed his true face beneath his mask in the Silver Dawn Temple—

His appearance is strikingly similar to Alphonse.

Youzi herself was unaware of Fan's hatred for Elfons, only knowing that he would stop at nothing to stay on the continent of Valentino and hunt down his enemy, so she casually revealed this fact. If she had known that Fan would betray the Demon Lord for this, she would definitely have kept quiet about it.

Van was a true human and had no idea that Elfons was a demon hero.

His relationship with Fred was also a delicate one, seemingly like that of enemies and master and servant.

His companion's words ignited his anger.

As expected, his suspicions were correct—the Demon Lord was willing to lie to him in order to use him to achieve his great ambitions.

This feigned act of sending demon soldiers with medicine seems to be an attempt to continue using him. Fan kicked the medicine packet on the ground aside and continued forward angrily.

One's own pain is one's own business, and one's own revenge can only be carried out by oneself;

No one can understand my patriotism, and therefore no one can comprehend my hatred for the subjugation of my country.

On the thirtieth day of the Dark Moon, at dusk.

The quiet bedroom on the second floor of the hotel was deserted and peaceful. The room was furnished simply but neatly.

The patient had long since awakened from his deep sleep and was now lying in bed resting with his eyes closed. The twilight quietly spilled onto the other side of the room.

The young girl sitting upright by the bedside—Shirley Hausenwell—was quietly reading a copy of "The Complete History of the Kings."

She wasn't interested in Valentino's history; she just wanted to learn about her companions and their past lives.

Reading a history book as a storybook—that's quite interesting. However, she believes that this "storybook" contains too many of the storyteller's subjective ideas, with a tendency to force them on the reader, greatly limiting the reader's imagination.

Upon checking the author, they discovered that it was the important figure they had met the other day—the Marquis Alex.

When they reached the chapter on Priscilla in the book, her companion slowly sat up in bed. Seeing this, the girl put down her book, forgetting to put a bookmark in it, and reached out to help her companion get out of bed.

"Don't treat me like a chronically ill patient... I can manage on my own."

Shirley worried that he might be pushing himself, and added, "Don't push yourself!"

The feeling of standing again after so long. Philsa opened her arms, stretching her muscles as much as possible while being careful not to hurt her wounds, and let out a long breath. Then she took the coat that Sherry handed her and put it on.

Philsa felt a numbness in his legs. He walked to the window and looked out at the street scene bathed in the soft hues of twilight.

"How about we go for a walk?" his companion suggested, walking up behind him.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the hotel entrance quietly.

About ten days ago, the two of them left the desert with the Knights and came to this quiet place to stay for a while.

The Knights Brigade was a temporary strategic organization composed of some members of the Obsidian Knights and some members of the Silverwing Knights, with more than 500 members at its inception.

However, during the campaign against the Demon Lord, half of the troops sent out perished, except for Philsa and Sherry.

Obsidian lost nearly half of its swordsmen and two-thirds of its archers, while Silverwing fared no better, losing a regiment of its own.

Until three days ago, Silverwing Captain Fang Ente received an order from headquarters to assemble and lead all Silverwing Knights back. Coincidentally, Philsa's name was not on the assembly list.

The Adventurers' Guild of Kanlan is already hunting down Philsa Danlitaire, the "human-demon hybrid" whose true form has been discovered.

As in other periods of the past, people who are not of pure blood have generally faced discrimination.

Moreover, a half-human, half-demon hybrid was subject to expulsion and persecution.

These recent situations are what Sherry is worried about right now, while Philsa is not worried for the time being.

Before leaving, the captain told the two that the town called "Danyin" was relatively safe for the time being, and that if they rested there for a few days, the adventurers should not find out.

The wanted poster from Kanlan won't reach the guild until at least next Monday, after the newspaper deliveryman crosses the desert.

The team leader also mentioned that the town suffers from poor communication and underdeveloped information and transportation.

Therefore, in order to improve this facility, a magical communication device—a magical telephone—was installed a few days ago, but the staff are still debugging it.

The captain also reminded the two that if anything happened, they should leave Danyin immediately, as everyone in Silverwing, including Obsidian's companions, understood.

Obsidian's friends, Lampard and Olina, after learning the details, finally understand Felsa and the origin of his "magic perception" ability.

That wasn't a skill to be proud of, but rather the unspeakable hardship and difficulties brought about by his special status.

However, in order to slay the demon, Philsa had no choice but to use this ability.

Danin is a small, undeveloped mini-city. Walking from east to west, the two spoke little, simply admiring the Christian-style houses and buildings along the way.

However, neither of them felt bored, dull, or uncomfortable because of the silence.

On the contrary, silence is another way for them to express themselves.
