The border between demons and humans.
The barrier that breaks the hole merges these two isolated areas into one.

Outside the barrier, a group of humans sat on the ground exhausted.
Their bodies were covered with grains of sand and dust, shattered inferior shoulder armor and commoner clothes torn into strips by the wind, and they looked full of embarrassment.
Everyone is breathing heavily, some are sobbing, and some are rejoicing for the rest of their lives.
A sense of fear and a sense of surviving tension spread among the group of humans.
No one wailed, after all almost no one was hurt here.
front of the crowd.
The sole of the woman’s shoes was completely cracked. She lost the broken pair of high heels and sat down weakly against the tree.
He hugged his knees tightly and buried his head in his knees. His hands and feet were shaking uncontrollably.
“Principal Maria, shall we, shall we return directly to the royal city?”
Someone came over and asked her carefully.
Maria heard it, but did not choose to answer, but shook her head in silence.
She wants to wait…
Wait for that person to come out.
Although, he may reappear.
The figure of him fighting with the Demon King alone, Maria vividly remembers it, and when she thinks of that back, there will always be a colic in her heart.
After being blown away by the hurricane set off by the First Demon King, Maria and the civilian army of King Elan lost their way in the endless desert.
It took two whole days for her to finally find a breakthrough here along the edge of the demon barrier, and then she walked out with the exhausted civilians.
The moment they stepped into human territory, clear air was poured into their lungs, and everyone felt reborn.
However, Maria knew that one person could no longer be reborn.
The cool wind in the woods kept Maria awake.
She didn’t want to be so awake yet.
I even wanted to get lost in that desert dust storm for a while.
When you wake up, you have to face reality.
“Principal Maria, these are some fish and hares that everyone caught just now. They are almost cooked now. Let’s see if you want to fill your stomach first…”
“Principal Maria, I still have some freshly picked wild fruits here!”
People surrounded Maria in sequence, holding some food that was extremely cherished at this moment.
Maria looked up, her face haggard.
Reluctantly smiled at them, Maria still shook her head.
“It’s alright, I’m not hungry yet… Eat yourselves. After a while, we’ll regroup and set off… Let’s go home.”
Maria squeezed out a gentle smile, her last smile.
After she finished speaking, she stood up with the help of the trunk, and walked into the depths of the woods alone.
People looked at each other and shook their heads, not choosing to catch up with Principal Maria.
Maria didn’t go very far and stopped again.
She turned sideways and looked back.
There are not a few civilians who were forced to be recruited from the royal city of Yilan.
Just like he promised.
“You did it, Luo Ning…”
Maria wanted to squeeze out another smile, but she couldn’t raise the corner of her mouth that she tried so hard to raise.
In the end, the last line of defense in my heart finally broke.
She covered her face with her hands, suppressed her voice, and cried hoarsely.
Maria cried for a long time, and for the first time realized what a tearing heart is and what a split lung is.
Her limp legs made her sit directly in the wet mud.
After a long time, she stood up with difficulty, walked to the side of the road, and found a suitable position.
At the same time, a small shovel came out of Maria’s hand.
It was the accompanying tool she prepared in her storage ring before leaving the royal city of Ilan.
The roadside is a feng shui place, Luo Ning is a traveler, the traveler’s favorite thing is to travel, and a monument with his name is erected here. May his soul be free forever.
Maria thought so, tears streaming down her eyes.
She took out her shovel and started digging.
There is no ‘relic’ of Luo Ning in Maria’s hands, the only thing that has something to do with him… I’m afraid there is only this pair of goggles he has worn.
Even if it is a kind of sustenance, it may be to comfort Maria’s own heart.
Maria carefully placed the goggles in the pothole in front of her.
After that, he knelt down on the ground, held up the soil little by little with the palm of his hand, and filled the pothole.
There was a restless voice in her ear. Maria didn’t turn her head or pay any attention, but was crying silently, busy with the things in her hands.
She felt the wind blowing behind her, and a sound similar to the sound of the soles stepping on the ground when she rolled over and dismounted from the horse.
“What are you doing?”
The boy’s voice was blown by the wind.
This familiar voice made Maria wonder if she was hallucinating.
“Aren’t you setting up a tombstone for me?”
Lorning saw the square stone tablet in Maria’s hand with his name on it.
“I haven’t seen you for two days… Someone actually went to my grave.”
Luo Ning opened his mouth and said helplessly.
Maria was completely stunned, the knife in her hand and the stone tablet that was about to be carved fell to the ground.
She turned back slowly, and Luo Ning’s figure was reflected in her crying red eyes.
“You, Luo Ning…”
“It’s me, not some ghost.”
Luo Ning patted his chest lightly and joked to Maria.
“Why are you……”
Maria had a thousand more reasons why she wanted to ask, but her crying eyes and choked voice made it difficult for her to pronounce.
Although his vision was blurry, Luo Ning’s voice and the outline of his face were absolutely infallible.
However, after Maria saw the huge, pure white, dragon-like species behind Luo Ning, she quickly stood up and took out her weapon.
“Luoning, behind you…!”
Luo Ning smiled at her and raised his hand to touch Bai Yulong’s neck.
Bai Yulong also lowered his head and gently rubbed Luo Ning’s palm.
“The mount,” he explained.
“You, you escaped from Demon King Lilulu?”
“yes.”
“How did you do it……?”
“She didn’t think I was funny, so she let me go.”
Luo Ning made up the story.
The reason why he appeared here is because he happened to see the civilian soldiers resting when he came out of the barrier. After walking forward, he saw Maria who was going to dig his grave, so he stepped forward to stop him.
“Demon King Lilulu… She can be so kind to let you go…”
Although Maria was shocked, Luo Ning was able to come back, which was a great good thing.
Look at the demon dragon behind Luo Ning, isn’t it really a mount given to him by the demon clan?
This man is really unpredictable…
Luo Ning did not intend to explain much, he turned over on the back of Bai Yulong.
“I still have things to deal with, so I’ll go first.”
“If you’re lucky, we’ll meet you in the royal city of Yilan. If you’re not lucky,” Luo Ning said with a smile, “see you next time.”
Without any intention of staying any longer, Luo Ning patted Bai Yulong’s back lightly.
Bai Yulong let out a long cry, raised his head and threw his head into the sky.
Maria still stood there blankly.
She didn’t react until Luo Ning walked away.
Look at the holes dug at your feet and the ‘relics’ buried in them.
Maria hurriedly squatted down and dug out the ‘relic’, patted the ashes, and wiped off the stone engraved with the name.
With her whitish fingers tightly grasping the stone tablet, Maria murmured with a trembling voice.
“Luoning, you are our hero…”
