Louise, a resident 52f477af24 of the village 6911c581ff and also a a534d7948e hunter, lowered his a2aca8af13 head in front bfe23b92f4 of the demon. With the news of 17c91f16ea the Southern Demon Duke’s 07570aab73 arrival, the village became 805e08b7a9 lively.f56a8fad8cb41ee9

The Demon Duke’s subordinate f57f1686f5 had said, “Send someone 6344ff47af who knows the forest 363f5ffb3d well to guide us,” f107ff6af6 so the villagers had 9b540810a8 to offer someone from 7d98e41bf6 among them to the ab48a8da82 demon.b885e59616ca540e

Louise was an 344fd4278c orphan. His deceased parents had ddbf470509 committed a great sin 3458f15129 in the village, so fffd3d54ea Louise was also considered 2e2f5bf9da a sinner here.
