It turned out that Hermione's guess was correct, because Helbo was really here.
But Delphi happened to know it through Haierbo's mouth, and her guess seemed to be correct, because Maka seemed to be really here.
Of course, the premise is that Haierbo didn't lie to her.
So what Delphi is going to do next seems to be very simple, so simple that it can be easily summarized in one sentence -
"Unfortunately, I can't believe what you say."
After staring straight at the "lump" rickets demon on the ground and saying this, and then looking back and forth at the four high-level living corpses guarding it, Delphi decisively walked out of the hall. left.
Naturally, the four living corpses would not stop her from leaving, because the only order they received was to guard the rickety demon here. At most, they could prevent others from directly contacting the demon paralyzed in a corner of the hall, just like they did just now. Other than that, they won't do anything superfluous.
So not long after, Delphi quickly left the frozen city completely because of his strong fear and suspicion of Haierbo.
Even though it was not easy to get in, and she desperately wanted to see her father, she still decisively walked out of London and rushed away through the living corpse territory outside.
Because she understood that at least she had to save her life in order to see Maka - her trip may be quite reckless in the eyes of others, but she herself knew very well that every risky behavior she took was always at least Only when you have the minimum assurance can you make the trip.
What's more, even though she was "scared away" by Hai Erbo with just one word today, it seemed that she was not completely without gains.
A moment later, Delphi, who was flying quickly away from the suburbs of London on the back of the ice bird, looked back. What she saw, in addition to the high-level living corpses that had been chasing her to the edge of the territory, was of course the sky-high icicle that froze the entire city of London. Reflected the crystal shimmer.
…
After Delphi glanced back and finally left completely, a tall figure suddenly appeared in the square in front of Buckingham Palace as a bolt of lightning passed by.
Not only did the visitor not look at the extra single-person passage leading directly to this place in the south, but he also didn't pay any attention to the ice hole dug directly into Buckingham Palace in front of him, as if he had already known about it, and just followed it. Walking all the way into the front hall, he followed the ice cave tunnel that was as tall as a person.
Even seeing that the tunnel was somewhat small for it, it deliberately bent down and got through it, but it did not damage the tunnel itself because of the inconvenience.
After entering the hall, the rickety demon in the corner did not speak, and the four zombie guards did not make any move. It just strode calmly through the middle aisle and went straight to sit on the throne at the deepest part of the hall. Go down.
Obviously, it was the big demon, who had returned after a trip.
After sitting quietly on the throne in silence for a few minutes, its voice faintly spread throughout the entire hall from the shadow above the steps:
"Helbo, you are making your own decisions again."
After saying these words, the hall suddenly became quiet for a while, and then the hoarse voice was heard again from the mouth of the rickety devil:
"Making your own decision? Is it possible that you really want to meet that little girl? Hey, if you really do that, you might not be able to explain it in front of her, right? You see, I'm helping you! "
"Huh, help me? Ridiculous."
Before he finished speaking, another cold snort immediately came from the throne, and then the big devil continued:
"After all, isn't it because you still doubt me - suspect that I am not sincerely supporting Ms. Kern's ideals? However, let's not mention your unnecessary selfish thoughts! Do you think your suspicion is useful? Even Ms. Kern believes it, but are you still bothering you there with nothing to do? Isn’t it annoying?”
At this point, a sudden "bang" sound was heard above, as if the big demon patted the armrest of the throne with a little force.
Then, I heard it continue:
"Tell you, I know that Delphi came to see me, and I don't care whether she comes or not. Not only do I not care, but Ms. Kern also doesn't care about such a small thing - don't you understand? Ms. Kern’s plan has nothing to do with these things!”
After saying this, it turned around and said:
"If you understand, then complete the task assigned to you by Ms. Kern in the Netherlands! If I find you reaching out to me again, don't blame me for actually suing you in front of Ms. Kern! "
The reason for this threat seems to be surprisingly effective for Haierbo. Even though that guy will definitely never give in, and will often do it again after a period of time, but every time he says this, it can at least make him feel at ease for a while.
Just like now, the rickety devil snorted coldly, and then stopped talking.
At the same time, in the shadow above the steps, the big demon didn't seem to show much anger because of what Haierbo had done. It just became quiet again, resting its chin with one hand and fell into thinking again. After a while, it raised its head again and glanced towards the main entrance of the hall.
Not long after, the twin living corpses who were chasing Delphi before he was seen hurried in from the door.
"Owner."
After the twins entered the hall, they only walked a few steps to the corridor. Then they both knelt down towards the throne on the steps, and then the long-haired living corpse with the girlish posture spoke:
"While the master was away, we... failed to resist human... intrusion for the master, and allowed the other party to come and go in the city without permission... please punish the master."
As soon as the long-haired zombie finished speaking, the boy-looking short-haired zombie on the side couldn't help but continue:
"Master, I have wasted... the power given by the master, and my sister... has not become stronger than before like me. Master, this is my fault, please punish me... But my sister has tried her best, she... did not wrong."
This pair of twins are far from fluent in their speech, and both of them stumble when speaking. But they can express their thoughts so completely in language, which is actually quite good.
But on the throne, the big demon listened to them asking for forgiveness one after another, but did not show any emotion. Only after they all finished speaking, he shook his head slightly and said:
"I didn't call you in just to let you say these useless words to me - listen, I need you to become proficient in using human language as soon as possible, as soon as possible! Then... there are more important tasks to be entrusted to you. Done, got it?”
"yes!"
Without hesitation, the twin living corpses below immediately agreed in unison.
