The Demon Continent is completely different from the Central Continent.
The Central Continent is not only fertile, but also rich in resources and economically developed.
The Demon Continent, on the other hand, is far worse off. Not only is it economically backward, but it is also extremely chaotic.
The Demon Continent has always been in a state of division, with each region ruled by a Demon King.
The village of Migludia where Luo Ge is currently located is situated in the region of Biyekoa, and the demon king who rules this region is the wise demon king Badigadi.
Although the environment here is harsh, it is relatively mild, and you can still see vegetation along the way.
The village is like a primitive tribe, with every household living in a house built from tortoise shells.
Luo Ge had seen it before; it was built from the shell of the monster Great King Land Turtle. It was huge and thick, and when turned upside down on the ground, it became a natural house.
"Alright, I've already contacted Rowin. They'll be here to pick you up soon." Village Chief Locke led the two to his home.
Not long after, a young Migludian couple rushed excitedly in from outside the door.
It seemed they had communicated beforehand using telekinesis, and Rowin also knew the identities of the two people in front of him from Rocks, so he wasn't surprised.
The Migrudian man named Rowin walked directly up to Luo Ge and Nanahoshi: "Excuse me, are you disciples of Roxy?"
Very fluent Demon God Language.
This surprised Luo Ge slightly, because the Migrudians communicated telepathically, and apart from the village chief, he was only the second person he had ever met who could speak the Demon God Language.
After only a moment's hesitation, Luo Ge stepped forward and said with a smile, "I am Luo Ge Greyrat, a disciple of Master Roxy, and this lady next to me, Nanahoshi Shizuka, is my friend."
"Wait a minute, Greyrat?"
Rowin looked surprised, then, as if recalling something, murmured, "Oh right, speaking of which, didn't three people come to our village not long ago? Superd Tribe, and the human boy with him... I think his name was Rudeus..."
"... It's Rudeus."
Rokari, who was standing next to her, smiled and offered a reminder.
"Yes, it's Rudeus!"
"Excuse me, it may be a bit offensive, but I still want to interrupt."
The Rudeus you're talking about should be my twin brother.
"Oh, I see."
The couple suddenly realized what was going on.
Luo Ge's gaze fell on the couple, though he already had a vague idea of their identities.
But he still asked, "May I ask, what is your relationship with Teacher Roxy?"
"I am Rowin, this lady next to me is named Rokari, and as for Roxy, she is our daughter."
"So it's Roxy's parents."
At first, there was nothing wrong with him, but after learning that the two people in front of him were Roxy's biological parents, Luo Ge's eyes showed a hint of closeness.
No wonder he always felt that these two were so close, radiating a natural sense of intimacy. Since they were Roxy's parents, it wasn't surprising.
After finding out why Luo Ge had come to the village, Rowin chatted and laughed, and left the village chief's house with Luo Ge and Nanahoshi.
"Since you are Roxy's disciples, then come with us. You can stay at our house tonight."
"Thank you for your help."
When Luo Ge and Nanahoshi arrived at Teacher Roxy's house, they discovered that Roxy's family was truly poor; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe them as destitute.
Although the place was poor and simple, Luo Ge's eyes kept wandering around.
Suddenly, almost unintentionally, Luo Ge's gaze fell on a plush toy sitting on a nearby cabinet.
Rowin noticed Luo Ge's gaze and said with a smile, "Haha, this is a doll I made for my daughter. It was Roxy's favorite doll when she was little."
Whenever Roxy was mentioned, Rowin and Rokari's eyes revealed nostalgia and a visible sense of loss.
"But our daughter, Roxy... has been away from the village for decades and hasn't returned in a long time. We all miss her very much."
"Etc."
"For decades?"
Luo Ge caught the key information, "Excuse me, how old is Ms. Roxy this year?"
"Huh?"
"Didn't Roxy tell you that?"
"Oh, right? Teacher Roxy seems reluctant to reveal anything about her past. I've asked her a few times, and she only says that her hometown is in the Demon Continent."
"I see."
"As expected, Roxy is still... never mind."
Rowin shook his head, then looked at Luo Ge with a smile, "Our daughter, Roxy, is probably... well over forty years old this year."
"Huh?"
"Over forty?!"
This time, it was Luo Ge's turn to be shocked.
In that instant, he seemed to finally understand why Roxy was always reluctant to reveal her age.
It turns out she was just an older woman disguised as a young girl.
At this moment, Roxy's mother, Rokari, spoke up.
"We Migludians stop growing around the age of 14, and our appearance remains permanently the same. Don't let my appearance fool you, I'm actually over 100 years old this year."
"Huh? You look way too young! You and Roxy look like sisters."
Judging from their appearance alone, you would never guess that Rowin and Rokari are Roxy's parents; at most, they would be an older sister and brother.
"What?"
"Never getting old? Isn't that the same as staying young forever?"
Nanahoshi, standing to the side, was also stunned. Although she was still very young, what woman wouldn't want to have a beautiful and youthful appearance?
This race is just too good!
Not only do they live to be two hundred years old, but they also never age.
If only she, with her Nanahoshi... could stay young and never age, wouldn't that be wonderful?
Just as Nanahoshi's face showed an envious expression, Rowin suddenly looked at the two of them with concern.
"By the way, do you have any news about my daughter?"
"After teaching me magic, Ms. Roxy left our village. Later, she went to the Shirone Kingdom to become the prince's tutor. However, about a year ago, I went there and learned that Ms. Roxy had already left."
"Although her whereabouts are unknown... you don't need to worry too much, because Teacher Roxy is now a Water King Rank magician, and she once conquered a maze by herself... In short, she's very powerful."
"Wow, our daughter Roxy, has become so amazing?" Rowin and Rokari were also full of emotion.
"Thank you for the information... it has given us another clue about our daughter."
"As a token of our gratitude, you may stay in the village tonight."
The couple also showed unprecedented goodwill towards Luo Ge and Nanahoshi, who brought information about their daughter.
Rokari personally prepared a pot of Great King Land Turtle soup.
Although when it was served, Luo Ge and Nanahoshi immediately put on their Pain Masks after taking a bite.
However, she still ate it with tears in her eyes.
After all, it's someone else's gift, so even if it's not tasty, you should finish it. But how you eat it is up to Luo Ge.
" Nanahoshi."
"Hmm... you're not very healthy, and you've been working so hard for so long... you must be very hungry."
"Eat more, you need to nourish your body," Luo Ge said, while continuously piling meat onto Nanahoshi's plate.
"..."
Nanahoshi stared at the huge pile of turtle meat in the bowl. It was so hard that she almost crushed her back teeth trying to bite it.
hateful?
Why didn't you share some good stuff with me?
Wearing a mask of pain, Nanahoshi finally finished a pot of meat soup made with Great King Land Turtle, her eyes filled with tears.
We ate and drank our fill.
Nanahoshi and Luo Ge each made their own beds on the floor, and soon the two of them were at Loki's house, and the Migrudia village fell into a deep sleep.
Nothing more was said that night.
As the first hint of dawn appeared on the horizon, Luo Ge woke up and the first thing he did was wake Nanahoshi was still lazing in bed.
I tidied it up quickly.
Luo Ge initially intended to leave, but after some thought, he took out a coin filled with two thousand green ore coins from his pocket and handed it to the couple.
When Rowin and Rokari saw that the money bag was filled with money, and so much green ore money at that, their faces were filled with shock.
So much money?
That's enough to buy their entire village, isn't it?
Rowin and Rokari were also surprised that Roxy's disciple was so wealthy. Could this human boy be the future heir of some country?
They were very surprised that their daughter Roxy, knew such a person.
After exchanging a glance, Rowin and Rokari could see the shock in each other's eyes.
"No!"
"How can this be? So much money!" Rowin hurriedly refused, even though it was a huge sum of money, enough to buy their entire village.
But being a simple and honest person, he politely declined.
Please accept this.
"Teacher Roxy saved my life several times when I was at my most desperate. Her kindness is immeasurable. You are Roxy's parents, so you are also my parents... Therefore, please accept my heartfelt thanks."
Rowin had originally intended to refuse, but seeing Luo Ge's insistence, and with Rokari seemingly communicating with him telepathically as well, things changed.
Rowin's attitude softened immediately, but he still shouted, "No, how could I agree to such a thing... It's about my daughter's lifelong happiness!"
Finally, Rokari said in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "... If Roxy comes back, we will definitely convey your feelings to Roxy, young man... Good luck!"
Luo Ge always felt that the couple seemed to have some misunderstanding about his behavior.
Although puzzled, Luo Ge didn't think much of it and quickly left the Migrudia village with Nanahoshi.
As Luo Ge and Nanahoshi left, Rowin and Rokari finally stopped after escorting them all the way to the village.
They stood still, exchanged a knowing glance, and began to establish a connection through telepathy.
"Seriously, is this really a good thing? We accepted someone's betrothal gifts without our daughter's knowledge."
"You wouldn't want our daughter to stay unmarried forever, would you? Roxy would be very happy if she could marry a handsome man like him."
"Hmph, what good is being handsome? Roxy's man must be able to fight, at least to protect Roxy. In any case... I won't easily agree to this marriage."
