After the demon appeared from the body of the Holy Son and flew away, no one present spoke for a while.
Ordinary people's knowledge of demons is limited to legends. Although priests such as Father Louis have never seen demons with their own eyes, they know some real records about demons.
Father Louis had just relived the story of the demon massacring the city a few days ago. When the demon came out of the body of the Holy Son, he almost thought that the entire Blue Stone City would be destroyed today.
To his surprise, the demon flew away after appearing.
Thinking of the demon's behavior, Father Louis couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the demon went to find the maid named Anna
Originally, Father Louis was convinced that Anna, a witch, had seduced the Holy Son into corruption, but now it seems that is not the case at all. The person in the body of the Holy Son is basically a demon!
Could it be that the maid seduced the Holy Son first, causing the Holy Son to fall and thus giving the devil an opportunity
Father Louis was still thinking, but when he saw the Holy Son slowly sitting up, he hurriedly walked over.
"Sir Victor, are you okay?" He said while observing Victor, with concern and a bit of vigilance.
When Victor woke up, he first noticed his poor mental state and the injuries on his body.
However, he was in this state in his last memory, so he was not surprised. But while observing his surroundings, he slowly remembered the devil.
He remembered very clearly that before losing consciousness, the demon said that he wanted to lend his body, but now it seemed that the other party had done something big with his body.
"I'm fine." Victor looked at Father Louis and nodded slightly, "I was possessed by a demon before I lost consciousness, but I think you already know that. Can you tell me what he did with my body? I have no memory of this time.”
Seeing this, Father Louis let out a long sigh of relief. This is what the Holy Son he is familiar with should look like.
"Your Excellency, please rest assured that the demon did not use your body to do anything too blasphemous to the goddess. It's just that the person who knows best what the demon has done has fled, and it is impossible to ask how many things he has done." Louis said the priest.
Victor nodded slightly and accepted Father Louis' explanation.
Ulysses listened to what the two of them said and walked over and said: "All this should be related to the maid named Anna. I lost my memory for a few days before. I heard someone said that I taught the maid how to read during my amnesia. It seems that Still pursuing her."
After seeing the legendary demon coming out of the Holy Son, and the Holy Son saying that he had no memory of the past few days, Ulysses suddenly understood that the demon might have once possessed him, so he The memory of that time will be lost.
Parrish was standing on the periphery and heard the conversation between the two. He suddenly interrupted and said: "Sir Victor, when the devil possessed you, he named Anna to take care of her. I think he was very good to Anna... I remember, I also lost my memory for a few days!”
Parrish didn't take the memory loss of those days to heart before. He thought it was the sequelae of the illness that Father Louis cured him, so he didn't care.
But now that he heard them mention it, he remembered it, and then he quickly called his valet Waldo and asked him if he had done anything to Anna in the days when he lost his memory, that is, since he returned I started talking about it when we were in the city.
Waldo was a little nervous in the face of so many big shots, and stammered: "You almost bumped into Anna in the city, so you proposed to her, but she refused. Later she came here to work as a maid, and you were very fond of her. However, she seemed unwilling to accept your kindness. Later, later, Lord Ulysses also came, and you seemed to have lost interest in Anna."
After Waldo is Ulysses's servant Fergie.
Fergie once told Ulysses what he did to Anna during his amnesia, and now he is much more skillful in talking about it, including investigating Anna's family situation, buying books to teach her how to read, and buying a lot of jewelry and dresses to give to her. , but she didn’t even ask for it, so he burned them all.
There are rumors about what Victor did during his amnesia in the end. While Victor was recuperating, he learned that Anna's brother was sick and took the initiative to use the Holy Healing Technique to save her brother.
Of course, only the devil and Anna know what happened when the possessed Victor and Anna were alone.
Victor didn't even know if his chastity was still there, and he had no way of verifying such a thing.
After synthesizing the information from all sides, Father Louis found that his initial judgment seemed to be wrong.
It sounds like a story about demons possessing different people to woo a maid. But what is so special about Anna, a maid, that a demon spends so much time on her
All of this, I'm afraid, can only be known if Anna is found and interrogated.
However, the demon is obviously after Anna. Can they still find Anna
Soon, the people sent by Father Louis to Anna's house came back and said that Anna had escaped. Before escaping, she injured her mother and set fire to her house.
Now, things have become extremely complicated. Father Louis can't figure out what is going on.
However, Ulysses felt relieved. He was originally worried that he was really the "double personality" Anna mentioned, but now he knows that he was once possessed by a demon and it was not his own problem, so he can go home with peace of mind. .
But before setting off to go home, a question lingered in his mind, becoming a mystery that may never be solved.
What kind of charm does that maid named Anna have that can allow a legendary devil to conceal her true identity and approach her and pursue her
Victor still has to stay in Blue Stone City to recuperate. He knows that he is safe during this period. The attackers who all died before he lost consciousness were probably the best lineup the opponent could send. Those people died. After a while, no more teams could be gathered to assassinate him.
From this point of view, he also wanted to thank the demon who helped him kill the attacker.
Father Louis began to investigate Anna and her family full of doubts. He met the couple and their three children and found that the family were devout believers and that they came to church every week and donated money to the church.
Interviews with other people in Pomegranate Lane revealed that Anna seemed to be a little different from the past, and the time was probably around the same time that the demon possessed Parrish.
After discovering that Anna's mother, Guy, was smashed after she stopped her from letting her go, Father Louis gave Evan and Guy some money so they could repair their home.
But Anna's matter is still shrouded in mystery, and Father Louis can't figure it out. Except for the butcher named Bobby, who probably died at the hands of Ulysses, who was possessed by the devil, the rest did not cause much damage, so Father Louis did not do anything more than report the matter. .
At first he thought this was a conspiracy of demons against the human world, but the more he learned, the more he felt that it was just an interracial love tragedy. He really couldn't be interested in it, so he told it Leave it to the higher ups to worry about.
Evan and Guy sit in their new home, with their three little ones in the bedroom.
Father Louis gave their family a sum of money for house repairs, but they moved out of Pomegranate Lane and rented a house in another place.
On the table in front of him were three gold coins.
The two were silent for a long time.
"Anna is not a witch," Guy said suddenly.
Evan sighed.
"These gold coins were given to me by Anna before she left... She has always been so sensible. She must have been wronged in some way at the Earl's Mansion before she said disrespectful words to the goddess." Guy cried and wiped his tears, "These gold coins She saved it and left it specially for us, we cannot give it to Father Louis."
Evan nodded and said, "Keep it."
Guy raised his eyes and looked at Evan with tears in his eyes: "She said she would come back to see us. She will definitely come back, right?"
Evan held his wife's hand: "She will."
It's so dangerous outside, how can Anna survive alone? But he couldn't say that, he couldn't make Guy more sad.
Guy burst into tears and smiled, his eyes full of hope: "Yes, we will meet again one day!"
"It turns out there are really many monsters out there!"
Anna looked surprised.
Dibian nodded with a smile, pointed in a direction and said, "There are none here yet, but if you go more than ten miles in that direction, you will start to encounter monsters."
Anna looked at Dibian and pointed in the direction, spread her palms, and the flames accidentally ignited, and said with a smile: "My little flame can only be a novelty for the Warcraft."
Seeing that Anna was already very proficient in the lighting technique, Dibian couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, and said: "Anna, don't worry. In order to escape possible pursuit, we will walk along the line of life and death. There are very few magic beasts nearby, and even if there are, Very easy to deal with.”
He paused and explained: "The line of life and death is not a real line, it is a rough range. I don't know why, but the monsters are concentrated at the other end of the line of life and death and rarely come out. The mages are also reluctant to go in, because of the life and death line. It was an uncomfortable environment on the other end of the line.”
Anna nodded, she finally understood why there was no need to guard against monsters. Warcraft are kept in certain areas by some force, and only a few will come out. It is very uneconomical to organize defense forces to patrol the territory for these warcraft with a very low probability of encountering them. I don't think the nobles would be happy to do it. Waste of money.
However, she still remembered Fiona saying that noble gentlemen would also recruit mages, but that was only to protect themselves and would not be used on civilians.
Of course, the probability of civilians encountering Warcraft is also very low. Normally, there is no need to take special precautions. If it does happen to happen, it will be a black swan event. Consider yourself unlucky.
"Do all monsters look weird?" Anna asked curiously like a primary school student. She suddenly remembered the sixty ways to kill monsters that the devil had taught her. She was about to ask, but suddenly stopped.
What if the devil is actually following her
Then if she asked Dibian what the phoenix was, and Dibian told her that it was a monster from the demon world, wouldn't the demon then suspect that she might know his existence
The words the devil taught her were too special. She felt that Dibian might know it. If she had doubts because of Dibian's words, she would definitely ask questions. Then when she threw out those words, Dibian told her That's the language of the devil or something... Then the devil is going to overturn the table!
Anna actually never thought that she could really escape from the devil. She had previously deceived the devil because she "didn't know" that the devil existed. If the devil wants to catch up, it will definitely not be able to use the severely injured body of the Holy Son. Once he leaves the Holy Son's body, no matter who he replaces, he will be a stranger to her.
She was deceiving the Holy Son, what does it have to do with him being a stranger
Anna thought it was unlikely that the devil would come after her now, but just in case, she couldn't expose any doubts.
She was careful not to mention demons to Debian before, but now she can't break the rules.
Dibian did not notice Anna's abnormality and said with a smile: "Compared to ordinary animals, they do look very strange. You can tell whether they are monsters or ordinary animals as soon as you see them."
"Then if they were around now, would you be able to spot them?"
Anna said as she looked around, seemingly looking for traces of monsters, but actually looking for demons.
But she also knew that if the demon could be discovered by her, it would not be a powerful demon that could possess even the Holy Son, so she was not disappointed when she didn't see anything.
Debian used a branch to draw a not particularly complicated spell circuit on the ground: "This is a detection technique. You can check the situation within a hundred feet to one mile around you. How far you can detect depends on your spirit." Force strength. This is a spell that can be driven by any natural element."
Seeing that Dibian seemed to be interested in casting this spell, Anna quickly said: "Dibian, does your injury not matter?"
Dibian smiled: "Don't worry, I feel much better, and I only search within ten feet. I want you to feel what it feels like to be covered by the detection technique."
Anna immediately prepared herself after hearing this. There was black condensation on Dibian's palm, and then she suddenly felt a very uncomfortable feeling, which was probably similar to hearing someone scratching the glass with their fingernails.
"I feel it. It's so uncomfortable to be checked." Anna said and asked curiously, "Then what did it feel like when you were checked."
Dibian said: "You see, there is a diffusion loop in this detection loop. In fact, you use your mental power to use natural elements as eyes, spread outward, and feed back all situations into your mind."
"Then can I try?" Anna asked eagerly.
Dibian nodded: "There will be no backlash even if the detection technique fails."
Although the spell circuit of the detection technique is more complicated than the condensation circuit that Anna has only used, it is the difference between addition, subtraction and four arithmetic operations. She memorizes the spell circuit of the detection technique silently, closes her eyes to help herself concentrate, Slowly outline this spell circuit in the palm of your hand.
The only fire element Anna currently uses condensed in her palm, filling the circuit she imagined, and then expanded outward in an instant. As the fire element spread, the surrounding scenes gradually appeared in her mind.
Of course, it was not a clear image that could be seen with the eyes, more like an infrared image, but it was enough for her to "see" Dibian in front of her, the surrounding trees and weeds, and the insects hidden in the grass...
Anna suddenly felt dizzy and quickly stopped using the detection technique and opened her eyes.
Dibian already knew that Anna successfully used the detection technique for the first time. Even though he had known that Anna had amazing talent, he still praised it generously: "It was successful for the first time, Anna, you are so awesome."
Anna smiled sheepishly: "I just didn't control the distance well and used too much mental power."
She rubbed her head and said softly: "So it's so uncomfortable to use too much mental power."
She stopped in time, but when the devil saved little Evan, he probably held on after overexertion, which made it even more uncomfortable.
But when she thought that she had to be separated from her family because of the devil, the little gratitude that arose in Anna's heart disappeared.
No matter how many good things he does, his ultimate goal is to harvest her soul. Does she want to be like a pig in captivity and thank humans for feeding her to fatten herself
"You do have this problem when you first learn spells. Once you become proficient, you will gradually understand the limits of your mental power, and then you won't have such problems." Dibian said.
Anna nodded. When you are first learning, and when you become stronger in the future, it is right to explore your limits more.
Dibian saw that the two of them had been resting for a while and then said, "Shall we continue on our way?"
"Okay!" Anna stood up and patted the dirt on her body without being pretentious.
She was in a hurry to escape this time, and she was still wearing a skirt that was not very convenient for crossing the mountains. When she had the chance, she would change to pants.
She has never seen a female mage so far. I wonder what kind of clothes female mage usually wear? Like the fight between the devil and Ulysses she saw today, it was not convenient to fight in a skirt.
Anna is very curious about the world of mages, but she is not in a hurry. When she really enters this world, she will have plenty of time to slowly understand it.
After Anna and Dibian started walking again, Rotgar, who had been watching the two chatting with a cold eye, also caught up with them.
Miraculously, the impatience he had felt from time to time in the past month has disappeared. Now he is extremely patient and is not even in a hurry to contact Anna again.
The woman he once thought was not her, so now he was in a place where she couldn't see her, observing her carefully to see clearly what kind of person she was!
Although the thought of being deceived by a human woman for a month still made Rotgar furious, he controlled this anger well.
Oh, of course he will make her pay the price for cheating on him.
Dibian and Anna first walked near the line of life and death, and then walked along the line. After walking for more than an hour, Anna finally saw the legendary Warcraft with her own eyes for the first time.
The monster looked like a sheep at first glance, but it had an animal skull stuck in each of its two horns. There were no whites in its eyes, and it was completely black and looked very eye-catching. Its body looks a little bony, but its four hooves are unusually thick, and it looks like it can kick people.
Seeing that Anna was startled, Dibian said: "Don't be afraid, this is a relatively docile kind of demon sheep and generally does not attack humans."
As soon as Dibian finished speaking, the demon sheep stiffened, as if it had discovered something. Then it suddenly bared its teeth, spread out its hooves and rushed towards the two of them, letting out a low roar from its mouth.
Anna was immediately frightened. No, this death charge didn't look so docile!
"...It is so docile and unique."
Dibian's expression changed, he stepped forward to block Anna, and took out his chopstick-like staff.
The speed of the magic sheep was very fast, and it shortened the distance between the two parties by half in an instant.
Dibian didn't have time to say anything to Anna. His eyes narrowed, and black ink-like mist instantly surged out of his palm. A sharp black arrow condensed from the mist screamed and pierced the demon sheep, accurately penetrating its head.
The inertia of the forward motion made the dead demon sheep slide forward suddenly after falling to the ground. It did not stop completely until it was in front of the two people, raising a burst of grass foam.
It wasn't until she took a closer look that Anna realized that she had really underestimated the size of this demon sheep. Its shape was not like a sheep at all, but like a tall horse. Even if it lay down, it felt quite oppressive.
Fortunately it is dead now.
Dibian wiped the sweat from his forehead. His mental strength was not fully recovered after all, so he would naturally feel uncomfortable if he suddenly used such a spell.
Seeing Anna cautiously step forward to observe the magic sheep, Dibian said in confusion and panic: "I don't know why it suddenly attacked us. When I saw them before, they were really docile."
Anna nodded in understanding: "Maybe we are just unlucky and met a violent individual."
Animals also have their own personalities, with individual differences just like humans.
Before Dibian could speak, Anna squatted in front of the demon sheep and asked, "Can the meat of demon beasts be eaten?"
Dibian didn't expect that Anna would still want to eat it even if she wasn't afraid of this scary-looking monster. He hesitated before saying, "It's okay to eat it, but I heard it doesn't taste very good."
Although he is a wanted fallen mage, because he has always had a teacher and is not yet down to the point of feeding on monsters, he doesn't know the taste of monster meat and has never thought of trying it.
Hearing this, Anna turned her head and looked at him with a smile: "Practice brings true knowledge, why don't we give it a try?"
Seeing Anna's smile, how could Dibian say no
He agreed with a smile, took out the dagger and squatted down like Anna, watching the demon sheep thinking about how to start.
He hadn't slaughtered an animal yet and really didn't know what to do.
Although Anna has never slaughtered an animal, she has watched the video.
Therefore, when Dibian looked like he didn't know where to start, she pointed at the back of the devil sheep's neck and said, "The upper brain meat is very tender. It will definitely taste delicious when grilled."
Dibian followed the position indicated by Anna and cut it in a heartless manner.
"And the tenderloin, it's right here, you cut it... Yes, it's right here... Ah, isn't it here? If you look over it again, it should be on the side... "
Anna gave instructions and Dibian took action. The two enjoyed themselves happily, and Anna's laughter could be heard from time to time.
Rotgar was still hiding in the tree canopy not far away, looking at this scene and he was very angry for some reason.
Why did the always docile Demon Sheep suddenly attack these two people? Of course it was him who did it, he just wanted to cause them a little trouble and have some fun for himself.
Unexpectedly, they started happily preparing to eat roasted monster meat!
By the time the two set up a fire and chatted happily while grilling meat, Rotgar had suppressed his anger.
He could see that the man named Dibian was trying to please Anna, and Anna seemed to have a good impression of him.
Go ahead and laugh while you can still! After he possesses Dibian and proposes to Anna, she will definitely agree, and he will show up at that time to see if they can still laugh.
