The sun gradually began to hide. In the depths of the forest where the hybrids were hiding, they were gathered in the middle of the camp. The atmosphere there was very quiet. No one dared to make a sound.
"Why?" Agni finally let out a voice.
The design and many hybrids also see Feru. The design had a dark and gloomy face, showing a very unpleasant mood.
"You, it's because you have the ability to awaken the Demon King."
The whole person held their breath.
Demon King, it is actually because of the Demon King.
Meanwhile, Agni lowered her head. His face showed pain like having constipation. In a place that no one else could see, his pale face turned blue.
Demon lords?
Truly a Demon King!!!
Why didn't he think about it.
No, why didn't anyone tell him!!
Damn, dammit!
Also, why is he. Why again the role is deeper than the protagonist pointed out. (` ⁇ ´) ⁇ ┻
The insolent system, he could have brought her to this very difficult world.
From the very beginning, this world was indeed a fantasy world where Demon Lords and Heroes fought. Although the plot of this world says there were 300 years before the Demon King was resurrected. No one said the Demon King could not be resurrected earlier. But, if it's like that, doesn't it mean that the princess who wants to capture the entire Hybrid isn't human. It's possible that he's one of the last remaining henchmen from 700 years ago. Thinking of this, it would not be a waste if he killed the Princess.
If he killed the Princess, perhaps the Hybrid would survive for now. But, that doesn't mean the remnants of the other forces of the demon lord will be silent. They were probably currently also looking for where the Demon King was sealed. And if the demon lord is successfully freed, the hybrids will not be able to fight it. The hybrids are currently still suffering losses due to the arrest of the Princess.
In essence, killing the Princess was not the best way to stop the destruction of this world.
Besides himself, anyway. There's always another way. Maybe this has something to do with the hybrid abduction.
Agni felt she could not just keep quiet.
First he had to prepare for the worst situation. He must gather strength first. He must save the hybrids, make them hide and improve their abilities safely.
Within minutes, Agni thought of many things and many possibilities.
"Agni? Agni's? Hey, are you okay?"
Agni regained her floating mind hearing Reka's call.
He raised his head and looked at Reka. Agni shook her head slowly. "I'm fine." Agni said soothingly.
"Feru, let's hear your story."
Agni took the first step by heading to the biggest tent in the campground.
In the tent. Feru repeatedly glanced at Agni. He doesn't know where to start. Right now, Agni broke the silence.
"Who is the princess."
Feru. She did not expect Agni to directly ask about this. He looked for a moment before answering.
"I don't know who she is, but I know she's not the Princess Lilia I know. From the day she entered the palace, Lilia had never behaved like the Lilia she used to. No, maybe it's not true. For some people, he hasn't changed. But I know him well. She was no longer Lilia. Lilia, even though she had always been treated rudely and had been humble, she had never been like that. She was arrogant in her bones, also an excellent older sister. Not like this time."
Feru did not even know what reason made Lilia change. He only felt that Lilia was already not the Lilia he knew.
Agni nodded. With this, he confirmed it correctly. Lilia was not Lilia's real daughter.
"What the hybrids are after."
Currently Feru was lowered. What the Kingdom wants is not what it wants. Feru initially only thought the kingdom wanted to rule a wider territory, until he heard Lilia's words for himself that night. He began to explain.
That night, when she infiltrated her brother's residence, Feru heard something extraordinary. Lilia tried to collect 1000 hybrids with ages ranging from 1 to 50, the young Hybrid. He wanted to take their blood and offer it to the gods. Feru initially did not understand, no gods were worshiped through the sacrifice of the hybrids.
He's looking for information about that. He was surprised to find that the blood of 1000 young Hybrid was able to unseal the Demon King. He also found other records that the blood of people from the whale tribe could replace the blood of 1000 hybrids.
After knowing this, he tried to find Agni. He knew Agni was a pope. He's not just an ordinary mermaid, he could be the biggest mammal in the ocean. Feru did not want Agni to be known and targeted because of this. When Feru leaves, Lilia learns that Feru holds a secret. He wants to get Feru. However, whether lucky or not, Feru managed to escape and join the Hybrid.
"So that's it." Everyone has an understanding of each one of them.
The designer glanced at Feru. He had not expected it to turn out that this person had done all that to protect Agni. Even if it was unpleasant, he would forgive her for the intentions she had.
At this moment, Feru stood up suddenly. He kowtowed on the dry ground, ignoring the luxurious clothes he was wearing. Feru knocked on the ground with his forehead.
"I know what the government did was wrong. All of the young and old hybrids that were caught might not have survived by now. But, that was not the intention of the kingdom. Like I said, it's just a few people. In the name of the kingdom, I apologize. I'm not apologizing on behalf of the royal family, but I'm sorry on behalf of the kingdom. You can avenge the royal family, including me all you want, but the people of the kingdom are innocent. Please, please don't point fangs and claws at them."
Two hybrids besides Agni and Reka looked at each other. They are not unreasonable people, they can distinguish between right and wrong. And the second prince before them did not make any mistake. Even he was willing to prostrate and beg for the sake of his royal citizens.
People like this deserve to be friends or relationships.
"Master Feru, right? We are not unreasonable people. You can stand quietly. We don't blame this on you."
Feru woke up with a grateful look in his eyes. He did not expect, the Hybrid that was said to be barbaric and arbitrary turned out to have such a clear mind. Unlike humans who are filled with greed.
Agni was suddenly talking. "Feru, I think, you're wrong on one thing."
They all looked at Agni at the same time. They didn't know why Agni said that.
"If they needed the young Hybrid's blood to unseal the Demon King, they wouldn't just kill the Hybrid just like that. They will collect it before use. And from your words, it seems, the so-called princess has yet to find the place where the Demon King is sealed."
Under the hopeful and joyful gazes of the two hybrids and Feru, Agni continued. "Of course this is just my speculation, it doesn't rule out the possibility of him killing and extracting Hybrid blood just yet or he has already found the location of the Demon King's seal."
"Then I'll see it."
