As time passed day by day, the tireless demon king and saints looked down on the human world from the end of the sky, and no one discovered their existence from the beginning to the end.

In the Griffin House, there was less and less food left, and Ms. Madeli further reduced the food supply for each child. From the beginning, a piece of black bread a day, plus a half-finger-wide slice of meat, now only one of them one.

Under the infestation of hunger, the weak children could no longer raise their spirits and lay down in the dormitory all day long. Only when the bell rang, the children could barely get up.

The silent pressure shrouded the hearts of all the children, and only when they thought of the promises made by the saints would the sparks of hope burst out in the eyes of the children. Many children even dreamed of Call Isaac's name and expect the saint to return from the clouds to save everyone in one fell swoop.

A slight knocking sound reached the half-asleep and half-awake Irene, and only in the half-asleep state could she forget the intrusion of hunger.

Irene's eyes came to her senses. She came to the window and pushed it open, only to see the young Valente standing outside the window waiting for her.

"Why are you here?" Irene asked in a weak voice.

"I brought you some food." Valente replied quickly, took out a small piece of bread from his pocket, handed it to Irene, watched her eat up the food bit by bit, with a smile on her face, "I Let's go first, if you stay here for a long time, you will be scolded later. Irene, you must persevere, I believe we will be able to get through this difficult time."

Irene smiled and nodded to Valente. The young man stared at her face carefully, keeping her appearance in his heart, and then left in peace.

Valente came all the way to the dean's reception room. There were several heavily guarded crusaders guarding the door of the reception room. The crusaders conducted routine inspections on Valente and then let him enter.

In the reception room, apart from Dean Kavo of the House of Griffins, and Valente's mother, the manager Madeleine, there is also the city lord who visited not long ago. Protecting the city lord is not only a fully armed crusader, but also a mage wearing a gray robe and holding a tome.

"I've heard about the strangeness of the saint's seal. I'm very interested in the legend of Saint Isaac and what he left behind. Dean Kavo, can you give me the saint's seal? In exchange, I will provide you with the food you need."

The city lord with cloudy eyes asked at this moment, presumably it was the fact that the seal could radiate heat, somehow it reached the city lord's ears, which attracted his visit.

"My lord, that seal is not my property. To be precise, it belongs to the girl chosen by the saints, and I have no right to dispose of that seal." Dean Kawo replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Sensing the refusal in Dean Kavo's words, the city lord hummed dissatisfiedly, and was about to persuade Kavo to think about it, but the dean said again:

"However, if the city lord just wants to feel the strangeness of the seal, I believe that girl will be willing to help. Since the flames in the world were extinguished, does the city lord still remember the warm taste of food? If the city lord is willing to share food with us , I can guarantee that every subordinate of the city lord will be able to eat hot food today."

Hearing this, the city lord just laughed: "You think I was attracted by the effect of the seal? You are wrong, the mere ability to generate heat, many high-level treasures that have nothing to do with flames can achieve similar effects, the seal really attracts me , the saints behind it.”

Speaking of this, the city lord clapped his hands, and the servant outside the door immediately led a goat to Dean Kawo after receiving the order.

Hearing the bleating sound from the goat's mouth, Dean Kawo was a little puzzled. He didn't understand what the city lord meant, but he saw the city lord order to the guarding mage: "Show them your ability."

The mage nodded respectfully, pure white light condensed from his palm, a thick bolt of lightning shot out with lightning speed, and bombarded the goat. Then he lost his breath.

The knowledgeable Ms. Madeli, from the three flowing cloud imprints on the sleeves of the gray-robed mage with gray lines, can see the rank that belongs to him. Ren is a Tier 3 Qi system mage.

After killing the goat with lightning, the mage kept moving, and immediately sat down cross-legged in front of the fallen goat. He raised his hands and hugged the goat's head. Accompanied by the rapid condensation of magic elements, he could still hear crackling from his fingertips.

As the spell took effect, the goat's still warm body became hot and dry, and even the wool on its body turned black and curly. In addition, a burst of scorched lake breath passed into the noses of several people.

Valente looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. He didn't know what the mage did, but judging from the change of the goat, it was clearly a trace of high temperature heating, so he couldn't help asking: "What are you doing?" Arrived?"

The mage turned his questioning gaze to the city lord, who waved his hand and said, "Answer his doubts."

With the approval of the city lord, the gray-robed mage said: "This is the second-level magic, the effect of the thunderbolt microwave. The thunderbolt microwave belongs to the magic of the air system, so it will not be affected by the disappearance of the fire element. In the era when the flames are extinguished, Mages have worked out this magic and used it to heat food."

Hearing this, Dean Kavo couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. A mage who can freely manipulate elements will certainly not be troubled by the silence of the flames like the civilians in the Griffin House.

Kawo originally planned to use the ability of the saint's seal to heat food and make a deal with the city lord in exchange for some food. Now it seems that there is no hope. Even if the flames in the world are completely silent, the mages have a way to deal with it.

"See? I'm not greedy for the power of the seal. On the contrary, you need the food. It's useless to hold the saint's seal until the day you run out of food. Why don't you give it to me now, I will Come to give you the food you need urgently." The city lord shook his head and said.

Under the persuasion of the city lord, Kawo could only shake his head and sigh. The current predicament did not leave him any choice, so he had to say to Ms. Madeli: "Go and bring Sania here... No, let them all assemble."

Madeleine nodded and did so, and as she left first, two bells rang in succession, and soon echoed above the Griffin House.

Sania in the dormitory was a little surprised when she heard the bell ringing. This was also when she came to the Griffin House. Sania was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head: "That's what the saints left me, I don't want to give it to someone else."

Hearing this, Kavo just persuaded him: "I understand what that seal means to you, and I can understand your choice to keep it as a treasure, but that seal can't save us, only the city lord can bring it. Only the food can keep us going, waiting for the day when the saints return..."

Before Dean Kawo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the shouts of nearby children.

"Hurry up and give him the seal! Why are you still hesitating?"

"Why don't you agree? Are you satisfied that we all starve to death?"

"Do you know how long it has been since I saw such food? This is a whole sheep, much more precious than your seal!"

The children's dissatisfied shouts instantly drowned Sania completely. Sania turned her head in astonishment, only to see that the children's original innocent faces turned fierce at this moment. Many of the girls, this paragraph Time has been with her all the time, but at this moment it seems to be a different person, becoming so strange to Sania.

Amidst the sound of the crowd, Irene showed a somewhat confused expression. She reached out her hand to Sania and opened her mouth slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but her voice was completely drowned out in the end.

Among the children, the one who yelled the loudest was the young Valente. He stood in front of the children and saw the excitement of the children. Even Dean Kawo seemed to be stunned at this moment. Who would have thought that just The temptation of a whole sheep can make the children explode so loudly that they wish to cut Sania into pieces.

Valente looked back at the children nearby, and was about to continue to say something, but was met with a loud slap. Valente was stunned by this slap, and it was the next slap that woke him up. Valente covered his face and backed away. The children made way for him, but it was his mother, the manager Madeleine, who slapped him.

As soon as Madeleine appeared, the voices of the nearby children suddenly became quieter. As a manager who spends the most time with the children and acts sternly, the children may not be afraid of the dean, but it is impossible not to be afraid of Madeleine. The timid children didn't dare to yell, but they didn't stop whispering, all of which were slandering Sania who didn't want to hand over her seal.

"How did I tell you? I want you to treat everyone as if you were your own brothers and sisters, but what are you doing now?" Madeleine asked loudly. Under her reprimand, the children were expecting Unable to speak, they all lowered their heads. No one dared to look at her. "The seal doesn't belong to you at all. What qualifications do you have to decide what to do with it? Or do you want to make the decision for her?"

"We just don't want her to make a wrong decision. We're doing this for everyone's benefit..." Valente put down her hand covering her face and whispered.

"what are you saying?"

Madeleine glared at him, and was about to continue beating when she raised her hand. At this moment, a beautiful female voice from not far away stopped her.

"Enough... Ms. Madeli, and Dean Kawo, I am willing to hand over the seal to the city lord." Under the gaze of everyone, the sad-faced Sania finally changed her words.

Dean Kawo sighed. The matter has come to this point, and he can't change anything. He can only hope that everything is the right choice.

As Sania handed over the saint's seal to the city lord's guards, the guards also let down the mage's half-cooked goat.

Looking at the steaming goat, the eyes of the children glowed at this moment, revealing possession and longing in the eyes, an instinct like a beast, completely awakened from the children's bodies at this moment.

I don't know who was the first to rush to the goat. By the time Irene realized it, she had been pushed to the ground by the children, or it was Valente who realized that something was wrong and hurriedly pulled her aside, which prevented her from suffering more stampede.

At this moment, even Ms. Madeleine's chanting was no longer heard by the nearby children, and everyone rushed towards the goat, and began to tear the small goat, and quickly put it on the goat. Its food. Some people had their mouths full of wool, some had their faces covered with sheep's blood, but no child stopped what they were doing.

A boy snatched half a leg of lamb, and when he tried to get away, he was greeted with a heavy blow from Valente, who had been prepared for a long time. After knocking down the boy, Valente snatched the leg of lamb and kicked away several children who were trying to surround him in the chaos, and then escaped from the chaos.

Valente didn't intend to eat the leg of lamb, but took it to Irene's side. He believed that Irene must be starving. Facing the leg of lamb handed by the young man, Irene shook her head again and again, refusing to take a bite no matter what she said, no matter how much Valente persuaded her, she never changed her will.

Outside of the chaos, Madeleine and Dean Kawo had already retreated to a distance to avoid being affected. In the end, only a mess was left in the field, and even the blood in the bones of the sheep was completely sucked by the children. How can there be any traces of goats here? Some are just scattered bones.

Above the clouds, the saint saw everything in his eyes, and couldn't help showing a look of impatience, but he met the eyes of the demon king.

"They're just a bunch of kids, they don't know what they're doing," the saint defended the people.

"What are you nervous about? I haven't said anything yet." The Demon King responded lightly.

The saint's breathing became heavier, and he turned his head to the side, ignoring the demon king's mockery.
