It must be said that Fang Zheng was indeed a little surprised when he heard Nanoka's answer.

After all, all the Fire Mist Warriors they met along the way had a deep blood feud with the Red World Cultists. It was just that some people were no longer so impulsive because it had been too long, or they had killed enough Red World Cultists, and instead began to regard it as a normal "profession".

Some people may still be chasing after the disasters caused by the Red World, and they use hatred as a driving force to continue hunting down the Red World. For example, Ma Qionglin who appeared in Yuqi City before is a good example. Fang Zheng doesn't know why the woman has become like this, but judging from her appearance, she is probably not much worse.

However, the Nanoka in front of them was completely different from them.

She seemed to simply regard being a Fire Mist Warrior as a profession, a mission... How should I put it, it was like transforming into a magical girl = saving the world. But from her tone, there was no trace of personal grudge against the Red World.

"Why did you become a Fire Mist Warrior? Was anyone in your family eaten by the Red World?"

"Not really."

Facing Fang Zheng's curious question, Nanoka shook her head honestly.

"I am an orphan, and grew up in an orphanage. Later, the teacher came to the orphanage and said that he saw that I had talent, so he took me to the outside world. He was responsible for teaching and training me to become a fire mist warrior... Don't, don't look at me like this, but I have worked with the teacher several times! I have also personally dealt with several Red World disciples!"

Having said this, Nanoka raised her head hastily as if to avoid being looked down upon. However, after realizing her situation, she had no choice but to look down at the ground again in frustration.

"It's just... it's just that this is the first time I've fought against the Red World since I became a master..."

"That's really interesting..."

After hearing what Nanoka said, Fang Zheng couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful expression.

"Are you the only one who was trained to be a Fire Mist Warrior?"

"No, there are many more, but I graduated earlier than them."

"So, did your teacher tell you why you were chosen as the Fire Mist Warriors?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng became more and more interested.

"From what I know, almost all of the Fire Mist Warriors have personal vendettas against the Red World. It's easy to understand why they are willing to sacrifice everything for revenge. But why did they choose you?"

"this……"

Facing Fang Zheng's question, Nanoka frowned and began to think. At this moment, the bracelet on her wrist began to speak.

"It's because of the seal."

"Seal it?"

"That's right."

The Red Demon in the bracelet sounded like a very weak guy, she explained to Fang Zheng tremblingly.

"In the past, when the Red World disciples had not yet mastered the Sealing Technique, they would directly eat and kill humans in the real world. Because of this, many humans at that time were able to see their loved ones being killed with their own eyes, so they had hatred, and therefore generated anger and a desire for power, so they were able to conclude a contract with us. But now... because the Sealing Technique is gradually becoming more popular, so..."

"I see."

Hearing this, Fang Zheng suddenly understood.

After all the fuss, this is what happened.

As mentioned before, the original reason for the appearance of the Fire Mist Warriors was that they, as part of the Red World Demon King, could not stand their compatriots doing evil on Earth, but they could not learn from their compatriots to devour the power of existence to appear in this world. So they chose to sign a contract with the humans in this world, "lending" their power to these humans, and let them help them expel these compatriots back to the Red World.

This approach was very effective at the beginning, because there was no seal, and many people were able to witness the death of their loved ones, and some even hovered on the line between life and death. Faced with such existence, as long as the Red World Demon King showed his willingness to provide power, the other party would accept the contract and become a Fire Mist Warrior.

But now...because of the appearance of Feng Jue, the situation has changed.

Although the isolation of the causal space can be regarded as guaranteeing the daily life of human beings from a certain perspective, and limiting the battle between the Fire Mist Warriors and the Red World to the shadows unknown to the public, but everything has its pros and cons, and the biggest problem of the sealing is that it reduces the number of people who can become Fire Mist Warriors.

In the past, it was actually very simple to develop Fire Mist Warriors. All you had to do was find some people who had survived the attacks of the Red World for various reasons, and then tell them, "Young man, do you know who killed your family? Do you want revenge? Do you want power?"

Those who are devastated by the loss of everything will be willing to give everything for revenge.

But now...you're going to come to my house and say, "Young man, do you know who killed your father?"

I'm afraid people will just say to you, "What the hell are you talking about? I don't have a father at all. If you keep talking nonsense, I'll call the police!"

That's right, the seal cuts off cause and effect, and the people who are swallowed will disappear, and their existence will be completely erased by the correction power of the world. This also leads to fewer and fewer people becoming Fire Mist Warriors out of hatred, because many people don't realize that their families have been swallowed by the Red World - or, in their impression, these family members never existed from the beginning.

So this presents a problem.

The Fire Mist Warriors suffered casualties, but they received almost no replenishments.

On the contrary, although the people from the Red World will also suffer losses, there is no customs between the Red World and the Earth. They can come whenever they want. Even if there are some restrictions, it is definitely more convenient than the Fire Mist Warriors.

To become a Fire Mist Warrior, the contractor needs to dedicate his past, present and future to the Red World Demon. This means that everything about you will be erased from this world. No one will know you when you are alive, and you will be unknown after you die. Those Fire Mist Warriors who fight for revenge may not care about this, but for ordinary people, it is obviously impossible for them to accept the idea of ​​abandoning everything to participate in a dangerous battle that can kill people.

This resulted in the number of Fire Mist Warriors decreasing, while the number of Red World followers increased, so in order to train more Fire Mist Warriors, they had to make another choice.

The girl before me is the result.

I have to say that in Fang Zheng's view, this was really a failed choice.

From a certain perspective, the girl in front of him was very much like a low-profile version of Shana - they had no direct hatred with the Red World, and they all became fire mist warriors because of their mission. However, the difference between Shana and Nanoka was that she was born to be a contractor of the Heaven and Earth Tribulation Fire. Nanoka needed to work hard to get the opportunity to sign a contract with the Red World Demon King.

To put it in a metaphor, Shana was born a princess, destined to sit on the throne and become the queen. As for Nanoka... she just passed the civil service exam and started working officially... no one knows where she will go in the future. Oh, and she messed up her first job.

Really interesting.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng immediately became interested in her. All the Fire Mist Warriors had blood feuds, and each of their experiences was enough to be used to write a mainstream novel. But Fang Zheng had no interest in those lunatics. Instead, he found Nanoka, a Fire Mist Warrior who fought purely as a job, somewhat interesting.

"Let her go, Tilia."

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng quickly gave the order, and Tilia also controlled the vines to loosen, throwing the girl to the ground.

"Uh... Can I go now?"

Rubbing her sore butt, Nanoka looked at Fang Zheng pitifully and asked. She had never expected that she would encounter such a terrible enemy in her first independent battle - fortunately, the enemy did not intend to hurt her, but if so, how would she explain to the teacher...

"No."

But to Nanoka's surprise, Fang Zheng shook his head.

"I didn't plan on letting you go. Um... I suddenly had a better idea."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng walked up to the pale-faced girl and looked at her with a smile on his face.

"From today on, you are our prisoner."

Then he announced.
