The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

Leon picked up a twig and taught Helena to write a few simplified Chinese characters. Time passed by, and Helena, being very clever, learned very quickly.

"Hehe, it's quite interesting. This is the first time I've seen this kind of writing style. Compared to phrases, it's much more complex, but its meaning is much deeper."

Helena's summary.

"It's getting late, you should go and get some rest."

Leon looked at the sky and said.

But Helena did not leave.

She looked at Leon, her watery eyes filled with guilt.

"what happened?"

Leon was puzzled.

"I lost the button you gave me the day I left the palace."

Helena paused for a moment before speaking.

"It's okay, it's just a button, it's fine if you lose it."

Leon seemed completely unconcerned.

"Ah! Is that what you think?!"

Helena suddenly turned angry, then stood up fumingly, "I'm sleepy, you stay here and keep watch."

what?

No way, I was just trying to make a joke, why are you suddenly so angry!

Sigh, women are so fickle.

Leon sensed something was wrong and immediately grabbed Helena's wrist.

"what?"

Helena's pretty face was icy cold.

"Here, I found it for you."

Leon took the button out of his storage container and placed it in Helena's hand. "I was just trying to make a joke."

"How...how did you find it?"

Helena took the button, looked at it, and found that it was indeed real.

"You didn't even ask me how I got into the book."

Leon's face fell.

"Oh, I was going to ask that, but I forgot. Okay, go ahead and ask."

Helena sat down next to Leon again.

So Leon quickly told Helena his story of "searching for his wife across a thousand miles," but of course, there were some things he couldn't tell her, such as "to Philippa."

"Oh? The taste of a vampire beauty in the thorn forest—that must be quite something, right?"

However, although Leon didn't elaborate, the intelligent Helena still had her doubts.

"No way! Although my vampire sister-in-law was lusting after me, I was steadfast and unyielding. I didn't let her touch a single hair on my head!"

Leon never makes boasts without thinking, so of course he wouldn't say that he was pinned down by his sister-in-law, Charlene, and had no chance to fight back.

"Oh, you don't need to tell me all this. As for our relationship... I don't think I have the right to say anything when you're being intimate with other girls."

Helena just gave a perfunctory smile.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and silent.

"Leon, sometimes I wonder, are all the things in the diary true?"

Suddenly, Helena broke the silence with a few words that sent a chill down Leon's spine.

Is she doubting the authenticity of the diary's contents?

day!

Did my crematorium come so suddenly?!

Leon was stunned. "Why would you think that?"

"Because when you mention other women, I feel like you're lying. You're in the Thorn Forest, having an affair with another girl, aren't you?"

It turns out, it was just because she was jealous; she hadn't thought about it in that way.

Ouch, that scared me to death.

Leon felt a chill run down his spine, then said seriously, "Helena, the diary is real. I really didn't have any dealings with those vampires in the Thorn Forest."

"is it?"

Helena, who was staring at the campfire, suddenly turned her head and fixed her eyes on Leon's eyes.

"correct."

Leon didn't flinch, but bravely met her gaze; he knew he couldn't afford to be timid at this moment.

But at that moment, Helena suddenly put her hands on her shoulders and kissed her.

The alluring fragrance and irresistible softness made Leon's nerves tense. The sudden kiss caught Leon off guard like a storm, and the night, which was originally cool, suddenly became hot.

His hands flailing about in a panic, unsure of what to do, finally instinctively braced themselves on the grass behind him to maintain their balance.

Completely unprepared, Leon's initial physical instinct was to resist, but Helena's rapid, hot breath on his face, her refreshing fragrance, and her warm, moist, soft touch made Leon lose the will to resist.

His mind went blank, like when he was playing a game and the internet suddenly went down during a crucial team fight, and the page was stuck on the loading screen with a loading circle.

Since we cannot think.

Leon simply gave up thinking and let the rich, smooth flavor linger on his tongue. Time seemed to stand still around him, and apart from Helena, Leon could no longer perceive any other information.

Unfortunately, this state did not last long. Less than half a minute later, just as Leon was beginning to immerse himself in the state, Helena left his body.

"Helena, what are you doing?"

Although he was still not satisfied, Leon still had to put on a look of shame and anger.

There's no way around it, boys have to be reserved.

However, that was indeed Leon's first time kissing a girl, an experience he had never had even in his previous life.

Sure enough, girls are all sweet, and perverts are easily infatuated with women. This seems to make a lot of sense now. My God, who can resist this?

"That was my first kiss, don't be so ungrateful."

Helena rolled her eyes.

"Does that mean my first kiss was completely worthless?"

Leon disagreed and retorted.

"So, it's all canceled out, I don't blame you."

Helena laughed, then wiped away the silver thread that remained at the corner of her mouth.

"Fine, I won't blame you."

Leon wiped his mouth, the warmth of Helena still lingering on his lips.

His heart was still pounding wildly, and there was still panic in his eyes as he looked at Helena, but he tried his best to remain calm.

"In operas, the first kiss between the male and female leads is usually quite long, but ours is only a dozen seconds long."

Helena suddenly sighed.

"You were the one who wanted to stop."

Leon is like a resentful woman.

"Don't blame me, blame you."

Helena said angrily, "You bumped into me somewhere, which startled me, so I moved away."

Uh, this...

Leon looked down, then twisted his body in embarrassment. "This is a normal reaction for a healthy boy."

"That's your fault too. You actually made me, a girl, take the initiative. Are you stupid? Can't you see how I feel?"

Helena was indignant.

"Yes, it's all my fault, it's my fault."

Leon nodded repeatedly, readily admitting his mistake.

"I'm sleepy. Goodnight, Mr. Leon."

Helena smiled and, without waiting for Leon's response, quickly burrowed into her small tent, like a startled little rabbit.

OMG!

Helena, oh Helena!

You silly girl,

Look what you've just done!

Wow!

Leon must be incredibly smug right now!

How embarrassing!

After closing the tent, Helena crawled under the sheets and covered her pretty face in shame.

Chapter Eleven: The Vigil

Through conversations with various NPCs along the way, and the information revealed by Erik in his speech.

Leon already had a general understanding of what was going on.

First of all, the time period in this book is roughly during the era of city-state civilization, characterized by "small countries and few people".

Erik is a royal descendant with the blood of the sun god and divine blood flowing through her veins. She is the eldest princess of Qindian, a great kingdom in the northeast.

The sun god is the most widely worshipped deity in the world of the book. The reason why Erik became a hero is because the high priests received a divine oracle, which was said to be from the sun god. The oracle said that Erik was the hero who would end the natural disasters and lead mankind to a new dawn.

The so-called natural disasters are what people call the Demon King, an extremely evil being who holds the power of corruption. He is in the west where the sun sets, corrupting nearby creatures, including humans, making them his servants, allowing them to indulge their desires, and continuously assimilating more and more normal creatures.

However, a thousand years ago, the Demon King was defeated and sealed away by the previous generation of heroes, allowing humanity to live a peaceful life without him. But now, a thousand years later, the Demon King has been resurrected. The West has become a living hell, and the Demon King is gradually spreading and expanding throughout the world.

At this moment, the sun god sent down a divine oracle, saying that Erik was the savior who would defeat the demon king, and so the story unfolded.

This kind of story is actually very traditional.

But usually the main characters are supposed to be saints, but Erik is not a saint. Leon feels that she doesn't care about the lives of other people at all.

If that's the case, then why is she so determined to destroy that demon king?

Holding corrupt power.

Based on Leon's knowledge of the world's mysticism, only the Angel King and true gods with titles can manipulate the power of authority and distort and alter the rules.

In other words, this demon king is actually a true god.

Although Erik gives off a strong aura, she is still just a mortal.

mortal……

Is it really possible to slay gods?

What trump card does she have to slay a god?

Riding their horses, they galloped through mountain paths, cliffs, wastelands, and towns. Leon, Helena, and the masked man mostly followed silently behind Erik, who was at the front. But occasionally, when they encountered difficult roads, Erik would arrogantly order Leon and the masked man to clear the way for her, chopping down trees to make a more comfortable path.

When passing through towns, the scene from when they passed through Runes will still appear. The city-state king will host a banquet to entertain them and then select talented people from his country to join Eric's team.

However, with Leon and the masked man around, none of the "pillars of the nation" who were chosen were able to pass the test. They were all beaten half to death, so the team still consisted of four people, neither more nor less.

One of the NPC girls was a very pretty mage who was pushed to join Eric's team. Eric asked Leon to go up and "examine" her. Leon originally wanted to "examine" her properly, but Helena's gaze was too creepy, so Leon ultimately decided that his life was more important. He decisively summoned Tirfingu and slashed the NPC girl so hard that she collapsed without any mercy. Afterwards, Helena praised Leon's performance.
