"What a cute little girl, come here quickly."
Barbara is very popular with everyone. Almost every girl with animal ears can't let her go and likes to touch her furry ears.
Every time she lay in Nora's arms, blinking her eyes, Reiner felt she was cute.
Now they are on their way to the capital of Rossno.
It was only a few kilometers away from Junice's hometown, Lilita Tower, and he could already see the towering city walls in the distance.
At this moment, Idia strode over to Reiner and whispered, "Master, the trade route will become dangerous if we go further south. The Blood Demon Clan will be active nearby. They like to rob passing caravans and travelers. It's very dangerous.
I encountered them before when I was escorted by slave traders. These guys appeared and disappeared without a trace and killed many guards."
A few days have passed since Reiner bought it.
The torn linen she was wearing had been transformed into brand new clothes, and her spirits had also improved a lot, but she was still thin.
Peggy beside her wondered, "How could the demons be active around here? They should be further south, right?"
"It was indeed in the south a few years ago..."
Reiner was confused as he listened to the conversation between the two. It seemed that the monster encyclopedia was going to be updated again.
He asked the two of them, "So what are the demons?"
The red fox ears on Peggy's head trembled slightly. After thinking for a moment, she said, "They are a race similar to orcs in the south of the continent, but they are more brutal, more bloodthirsty, and more powerful than orcs. Both demihumans and humans are afraid of them.
She suddenly looked at the dazed Lailisi and continued, "These guys are the descendants of the devil."
Lailisi was slightly startled, and looked at the others, puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Reiner raised an eyebrow: "Have you heard of the Blood Demon Clan?"
Lailisi fiddled with her hair, as if thinking, "I've never been to the southern part of the continent, let alone heard of it. However, I heard that some traitors stayed in the human world, but I don't remember humans and us being able to reproduce. I don't understand.
But if you catch one and show it to me, I might be able to understand."
Aliana rubbed her eyes and rode up to them.
What are you talking about?
"Blood Demon Clan, do you know their origins?" Reiner asked.
"Well...it's said they were left behind by demons in the human world, contaminated and corroded by fel energy. They can use a strange kind of blood magic that's neither strong nor weak. I don't like them."
Lailisi landed behind her, gently kneading her soft cheeks with both hands, and praised her: "You cute little elf knows so much, so lovable."
"You stinking devil... go away! You're teasing me again."
As Reiner watched the two people arguing, they were getting closer and closer to Lilita Tower.
Junice looked out at the city, lost in thought.
(There really hasn't been any change. It was the same as when I left and when I came back. I wonder how Teacher Wu is doing...)
Reiner approached her and poked her slightly bulging belly with his hand. "Why don't you stay here for a few days? Take a break while you're pregnant. You can't be too tired."
Junice shook her head: "No, it's too easy to recognize me from a distance. Let's start taking a detour."
"Ah, being beautiful but being too recognizable is also a kind of trouble." Reiner teased her.
Junice smiled bitterly.
The team left the commercial route and turned into a side road that was rarely traveled.
After walking for a while, Reiner, who was at the head of the team, stopped.
