Jane and Quentin wanted to avoid the humans in the village.
However--
"What's this?"
The light cocoon that enveloped Sigourney and Ash was too conspicuous, and it was placed in front of someone's door in a particularly high-profile manner, so it was naturally noticed at the first moment.
The villagers who had regained their freedom walked out of the wooden houses one after another in confusion. Before they had time to think about what had happened and why they had not been taken back to Dragon Island and imprisoned again, they were attracted by the light cocoon.
Soon, the elder's wooden house was surrounded by layers of enemies.
The vampire and moonlight elf who were standing on the roof in hiding: "..."
"What is this?" the villagers asked themselves in confusion.
"A trick of magical creatures?"
"The glory days are over, and yet they keep us here. What do they want to do with us in this cocoon?"
"You must be watching us from the dark, right? Do you want to see something interesting?"
A radical young man sneered: "Whatever it is, just smash it open and you'll know!"
Having said that, he quickly went to look for weapons in the village to split the light cocoon.
Jane and Quentin who were observing secretly: "..."
How can we really let them do it?
Who knows what will happen to the people inside if the light cocoon is broken?
They had just protected the light cocoon from the enemy, so were they just going to watch it being destroyed by their own people?
They tilted their heads to look down and saw the imprisoned orcs and skeletons. They had just quickly carried the two of them to the roof to prevent them from being tortured by humans and exposing themselves.
But now, it seems that they can only expose themselves.
As the young man was about to smash down with the axe in his hand, Quentin flashed and appeared beside the young man, stopping his action: "Stop." He paused and reluctantly explained, "Sigourney is inside."
Jane also revealed himself, and said to the villagers who looked at him with hostility: "We are Sigourney's... uh, companions."
Quentin listened with mixed feelings. He never expected that there would be a day when they would take the initiative to call themselves that.
However, the young man still looked wary and hostile: "Who is Sigourney? We don't know her!"
Jane and Quentin: "..."
Quentin couldn't believe it: "That guy said he was one of yours! You are the Freedom Alliance, right?"
The young man said indifferently: "You have been deceived."
A girl nearby sneered, "He looks stupid."
Quentin: “…”
Humans are really, really, really annoying!
If it weren't for Sigourney's sake -
No, that's not right.
None of them knew Sigourney, so there was actually no connection between the two?
Could he beat them up then?
"Quentin." Jane called him.
His eyes fell on the faces of the young man and the girl. These people... were deliberately trying to irritate Quentin.
——Because he was restrained in some way, he couldn't decide his own life or death. So he wanted to anger the arrogant vampire and make him end his life impulsively...
He had seen such extreme, negative and gloomy thoughts before. In Bai Yilufu, he had seen them in some elves raised by humans.
He was silent for a moment, then looked at the old man in the crowd, the one called the elder: "Do you remember that there was once a human here, a male, whose appearance was... incomparably beautiful?"
Quentin twitched his lips. You can actually say that, Jane.
When Jane said this, not only the elders, but also most people around them changed their expressions slightly, as if they had thought of something.
Jane looked at Quentin: "Paint them Sigourney's face."
Quentin: “No.”
"You will," Jane said grimly. "I saw the picture you drew of the little wizard."
Quentin: “…”
Quentin, with a sullen face, drew a picture for the people of the Freedom Alliance. The picture showed a vampire with a ferocious expression but beautiful features.
A casual drawing on the sand, even without color, can be breathtaking.
When the full picture was revealed to everyone, everyone's expressions indicated one thing - they recognized him!
"Is this the Sigourney you are talking about?" someone asked hesitantly.
"It's him," Quentin said unhappily. So the name Sigourney was fake?
"Is he still alive?" the elder asked tremblingly.
Thanks to the fact that the painting on the sand had no color and unclear outlines, no one could yet discern the features of the vampires and elves.
Therefore, everyone recognized it without any hindrance as the human being they knew.
Of course, they are indeed the same person.
Quentin pointed at the light cocoon impatiently: "I told you, isn't it in here?"
He looked irritably at the people who were still suspicious and wary of them. How could they be made to look like perpetrators? It was clearly humans who did something terrible to them in Bai Yilufu!
His face was gloomy. "Listen! I am not a vampire from your world. I don't want to do anything to you. This place is isolated from the outside world now. They can't get in, and of course you can't get out. During this period of temporary safety, we will try our best to tell you the whole story - so, can we sit down and talk? For the sake of that liar Sigourney, I don't want to hurt you."
After saying that, he was stunned. Sit down and talk? Don’t want to hurt humans? Is that what he said?
However, his words were very useful, and perhaps also because of the bonus of Sigourney he had just drawn. After the elders sent someone to the edge of the holy land to secretly inquire about the situation and came back, for various considerations, they were finally willing to be less hostile and listen to what Jane and Quentin said.
Next is the opening of the door to a new world.
Following "What? Sigourney is still alive?", there is -
What? Sigourney went to the next world?
What? Sigourney turned into a spirit and then a vampire?
What? Sigourney already has a human boyfriend?
What? Sigourney is the key to saving the world?
…
Late-night conversations seem to have a different flavor.
Even though hatred and prejudice against magical creatures are deeply rooted, it is difficult for the people of the Free Alliance to doubt that these words were fabricated by Jane and Quentin.
It was too real and explained everything logically - there was an extra pale moon in the night sky, still hanging there brightly.
If you think about it carefully, there is no need for the other party to deliberately make up such a story to deceive them, right?
What good can it do?
Outside the holy land, the frustrated looks of the magical creatures who discovered they couldn't break the barrier were too far-fetched to say they were acting.
So, Sigourney is really still alive.
In another world, humans really rule over magical creatures?
The legends they have passed down from generation to generation, that humans once fought head-on against magical creatures, are they all true?
The elders are in tears, the worlds are about to merge, so can the humans of Red Iluf ever get true salvation?
Jane and Quentin watched as tears gradually filled the eyes of the humans around them. Even the young man and girl who had an extreme and cold attitude had red eyes. They looked up at the Pale and Scarlet Moon, wondering in their hearts, could the magical creatures of White Iluf also gain freedom and peace after the worlds merged?
After this night, the relationship between vampires, elves and humans eased a lot. At least there was no more sharp hostility and hatred.
But the humans in the village still have reservations about magical creatures and find it difficult to get close to them.
And they are also extremely uncomfortable with the idea of getting along well with humans.
So they hit it off immediately, and during the next few days they were trapped in the holy land, everyone kept to themselves, used the food from the sea and the forest, and lived pretty well.
But how long will this period last?
People who were secretly gathering information at the border of the holy land said that they saw the dragon clan attack the barrier, but unfortunately the barrier did not waver at all.
Although, if the barrier was broken, they might be taken back to Dragon Island and imprisoned again, but everyone in the Freedom Alliance was looking forward to the barrier being broken.
Because that might mean the appearance of Sigourney, which could mean a new turn of events.
Rather than being trapped in a corner and waiting numbly, worrying every night about how long the barrier can last, they would rather seize a glimmer of hope and fight hard. Even if they fail in the end and are imprisoned again, they will not regret it.
As if they could hear the voices of the Freedom Alliance, Sigourney and Ash did not keep everyone waiting too long.
Seven days and seven nights later.
It was also late at night.
The night sky was clear for several days in a row, with no clouds in the sky, and only the stars and the moon shining.
In the red Ilufu, the outline of the pale moon became deeper and more solid, as if the moon in the water was gradually floating out of the water.
Finally, on this night, the pale moon and the scarlet moon shone equally brightly, hanging in the sky with equal brilliance.
It was also at this time that the light cocoon turned back into starlight and scattered into the sky and on the ground.
Sigourney and Ash appeared at the spot.
He held Ash in his arms, raised his eyes slightly, and met the eyes of the people around him that were staring at them closely.
Sigourney: “…”
