Chapter 225: Did He Really Die?
Lin Lin never imagined that one day she would be riding on Safir’s back, two hundred years in the future.
After all, the Safir of now seems harder to talk to compared to before.
With a few experiences of flying on a dragon’s back, Lin Lin was quite familiar with it, and the distant scenery entered her eyes, reflected in her pupils.
Besides the dragon, there were white birds following closely behind, riding the wind created by the dragon’s flight.
It was a beautiful and lovely scene that one could never get enough of, no matter how many times they saw it.
Perhaps it was because she had spent some time in San Marco City, the heart of humanity, that the familiar crowds and noise reminded Lin Lin of her life in the modern world.
At that time, she didn’t think about these beautiful views; she only felt happy if she could leave work on time, then flopped on the sofa, playing on her phone, like a dead fish, completely still, even taking half an hour before a shower to prepare herself mentally.
Even though many people traveled during long holidays, she felt too lazy to go out.
Because of fatigue.
A boring job, a closed office, a quiet bedroom—these felt like the end of life that she could see ahead.
This made Lin Lin, when summoned to this world by the Demon King, very unhappy about her bad luck with working late, yet she quickly accepted this new reality. Apart from Lin Lin’s easygoing and go-with-the-flow personality, there was one more thing… could life really get any worse?
The benefit of having colleagues from other races was that Lin Lin, who used to care about appearances, could finally go a little crazy without worrying.
They will only feel that this is a human trait, normal and deserving of respect.
Riding on the dragon’s back, the wind fluttered past on both sides, making my hair and dress sway gently, giving a feeling of floating lightness.
"Lord Safir!" Lin Lin called out loudly.
The Sapphire Dragon lazily breathed out a beam of light blue dragon breath into the air, calmly responding.
The temperature around was cooler, as the dragon breath froze the air ahead.
When Lin Lin passed by, the white mist was completely shattered.
Lin Lin’s black hair was touched with a hint of light frost, as sunlight shone on the dazzling scales of the Sapphire Dragon.
"Teacher Safir!" Lin Lin excitedly waved at the distant sun in the sky.
"The scenery here is so beautiful!"
–
Lin Lin, where is your sense of worry? You should have thought of this long ago!
When Safir got close to the Demon King Castle, Lin Lin could almost see the angry spirits of the castle taking form.
It was eerie, truly too eerie; even from a distance, one could sense its bad luck.
The demon realm still had normal weather; it was drizzling, but at least it was ordinary, except for the Demon King Castle, which was surrounded by a swirling black mist.
"Lord Safir," Lin Lin asked carefully, "can we not go back? It feels like anywhere would be better than the Demon King Castle right now."
Unexpectedly, the usually quiet Dragon race was very gentle.
"You can come to my place," Safir said, "this place is indeed too dark and not suitable for humans to live in."
No! That’s not the reason! Compared to the Demon King Castle, the darkness of the dragon’s lair is about the same!
Lin Lin did not understand how Safir, who lived underground with a dragon, could say that Demon King Castle was dark.
Safir’s suggestion instead calmed Lin Lin down; if she didn’t return, the anger here would only grow stronger.
Lin Lin sighed, "Never mind, let’s go back."
Lin Lin thought it was just her imagination, but she felt that Safir’s mood was not so good again.
Safir descended towards Demon King Castle, and Lin Lin reached out to catch a few drops of cool rainwater.
As she passed through layers of black mist, Lin Lin stumbled slightly when her feet touched the ground.
Someone caught her.
"Thank you," Lin Lin turned her head, the mist surrounding her, and she saw a young man with short black hair, single eyelids, narrow eyes, and a cold expression.
The rainwater seemed to avoid the young man, with only the edges of his clothes showing signs of dampness.
It’s been a long time since I last saw Arthur. Also, it was raining at the Demon King Castle, which was a good time for the orca to return.
But Lin Lin remembered that this pair of brothers were wanderers, meaning they rarely stayed in one place unless it was absolutely necessary.
"Why are you here?" Lin Lin asked.
Arthur’s dark eyes glanced behind Lin Lin, and she quickly sensed someone trying to pounce on her.
Lin Lin sidestepped, and Aaron, who originally wanted to hug her, failed. He ended up holding onto Lin Lin’s arm and wouldn’t let go, "I heard that Your Majesty the Demon King has died, so out of a sense of duty, I had to come and see!"
Lin Lin: …Huh?
Lin Lin cast a desperate look at the most reliable adult man in the Demon King Castle, hoping Safir could give her a reasonable answer.
"Has he really died?" Safir said, "Once a person dies, they cannot come back to life. It can’t be helped."
No! Please don’t accept this so quickly! Your reaction is too natural!
Is this what the hearts of the Dark Camp people are like? If it were the Light Camp, teammates would have been shouting about friendship and bonds while studying the resurrection spell!
Lin Lin is now the last hope of the Demon King Castle.
"Who told you that the Demon King was dead?" Lin Lin asked Allen, her face calm.
Allen rubbed his chin and said, "It was Orion."
It was the Death Knight who told him, Lin Lin thought.
Orion, the only conscience of the Demon King Castle, a truly reliable knight.
Once the news came from Orion’s mouth, Lin Lin started to believe it was true.
What should I do? Don’t panic, there must be a chance to turn things around!
A Dark Elf, full of energy on a rainy day, set off from the big door.
The Dark Elf was surprised to see so many people at the door, as Felix’s gaze moved from one person to a couple of orcas, then to a dragon.
Felix waved and said, "Hey."
Lin Lin held back the urge to raise her hand and say hey too, and simply asked, "Is the Demon King dead?"
"I don’t know," Felix replied, the Dark Elf’s silver eyes turned away, "I haven’t seen the Demon King in a long time."
He avoided eye contact.
Although the Dark Elf was a habitual liar, his fear of women made Felix clumsy in front of Lin Lin.
"You don’t know?" Lin Lin stepped in front of Felix. Even though she was a bit shorter, it allowed her to look directly into his eyes. "Say that again."
Felix looked down at the ground and said, "I don’t know."
Twenty minutes later, in the light drizzle, the Dark Elf was digging in the back garden of Demon King Castle with a shovel.
A light-type orb floated above Felix’s head, and whenever he stopped, a beam of light shone down on him.
Safir had already walked far away from the commotion.
"Hurry up and dig," Lin Lin said calmly.
"It’s been a long time since I last saw you, and it’s truly wonderful," Felix said.
"Hurry up and dig," Lin Lin’s face remained emotionless.
Felix paused with the shovel in his hands for a few seconds, but then he turned around. A glimmer of light brushed over him; the power of light-type could sting dark creatures with just a small amount.
Felix looked at the human woman facing him, with her arms crossed.
"Can you please not make that face?" Felix asked.
Ah, was the expression too cold? But anyone returning to the Demon King Castle to clean up a mess wouldn’t look cheerful, would they?
Lin Lin, "I don’t mean anything else; I’m just speechless."
Felix, "I enjoy that look on your face."
Lin Lin showed a truly speechless expression.
Felix dug down and hit something soft, "Oh, I’ve found it."
