Because of Anna's warning, these five-star mages did not dare to act rashly.
This is the demon world, and they are very unfamiliar with this place. The faint pressure in the air makes them feel deeply uncomfortable. Their mental power seems to be gradually being compressed, as if they are buried in the sand, and even breathing is somewhat difficult.
The leader, Bishop Christopher, was the commander of this operation. He signaled to his companions to be calm. He looked at Anna and said seriously but gently: "Master Anna, you are betraying humanity. Demons come and go in the human world at will, killing. Having killed countless humans, you should not help the devil."
Anna knew that her position was indeed wrong, but it was impossible for her to give up her resistance and hand over Lotgar.
She ignored the cardinal's words and only said: "The devil world is a very dangerous place for you. Another devil will come soon. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
She wondered where these people came from, but now was not the time to ask such a thing, and they probably wouldn't tell her.
When Bishop Christopher saw Anna's indifference, the gentleness on his face disappeared.
They really can't stay in the demon world for too long. Every second they stay is another second of danger. It was a pity that we couldn't catch the unconscious demon that was no longer visible, but there was nothing we could do.
Bishop Christopher raised his staff, looked at Anna and said, "Master Anna, please come back with us."
Anna made a gesture of resistance: "What if I say no?"
Bishop Christopher said: "Then please forgive us for being violent."
As he finished speaking, the other five-star mages had already adjusted themselves and vaguely surrounded Anna.
Anna looked at Bishop Christopher without saying a word, and then looked into the distance. The smoke and dust generated by the running of Hui Hui and Bai Mao could no longer be seen at all. This is the Demon Realm. It is gray day and night, and visibility is very low. It is too difficult to track them with the naked eye when they have already run far away, not to mention that human mages cannot stay in the Demon Realm for too long.
In other words, Rotgar is almost safe now. But it takes time for Hui Hui and them to reach Balan, and she simply can't hold on that long.
Anna saw that the cardinal didn't seem to want to kill her, but wanted to take her back. Maybe what happened to her when she returned to the human world was unknown, but it was better than stubbornly resisting and dying at their hands.
She has no mental power at all now, but she is still holding on. If these mages mistakenly think that she is still very capable of fighting, they will go all out when besieging her, and she will die in an instant.
Anna smiled: "Then I'd better surrender."
She said and raised her hands.
The combat power of a mage mainly depends on mental strength, so even if Anna raised her hands, the five-star mages on the opposite side did not dare to relax.
Bishop Christopher took the initiative to risk Anna's rebellion and stepped forward. When he got closer, he said to her, "I'm sorry."
He took out an ordinary-looking bracelet and fastened it on Anna's wrist.
At this moment, Anna's perception of natural elements seemed to be blocked by something.
She recalled that she had a similar experience when she was kidnapped by Magnolia. She thought it was this kind of magic circle that imprisoned spiritual power.
After imprisoning Anna's mental power, Bishop Christopher took a step back, and another female mage came up and tied Anna's hands behind her back. The simple magic circle that imprisons mental power is easily eliminated physically, so an additional layer of insurance must be added.
Anna was very obedient and felt quite honored to be tied up by the mighty five-star mage.
After capturing Anna, the group of six people immediately walked into the castle.
Anna entered the castle, but stopped when she saw the figure standing next to the teleportation array.
It's Lyon.
The environment in the demon world was extremely bad for Leon. He sat cross-legged on the edge of the teleportation array, his face pale, holding a ruby pendant in his hand and pressing it on the edge of the teleportation array. At this moment, the teleportation array was glowing slightly, and there was a breeze coming from the other end, which made Leon feel better.
"Leon..." Anna stopped in front of him and looked down at him.
Leon raised his head and saw Anna being tied up. His expression changed slightly, and he looked at Bishop Christopher and said, "Your Excellency, why are you tied up with Anna? I have told you the truth about what happened that day. If it weren't for Anna, the devil would have killed so many people." .”
Bishop Christopher said: "Just now when we were trying to capture the injured and unconscious demon, she was blocking us."
Leon looked surprised and looked at Anna in surprise.
He always thought that Anna was kidnapped into the devil's world, and it was the same thing he saw when he saw Anna for the last time. Anna went with the devil on the condition that he would not hurt innocent people.
So when he heard Bishop Christopher's words, he couldn't believe it.
Anna met Leon's eyes and felt speechless.
She couldn't tell what the purpose of the other five-star mages in coming to the demon world was, but it was definitely not to "save" her, but she thought that Leon came to save her.
But the inside story was so complicated that she didn't even know how to explain it.
"Sorry." Anna finally said.
The air in the demon world is highly poisonous to human mages. Next to the teleportation array that was still open, Leon kept the teleportation array in its minimum open state, which had a much smaller impact. The five-star mages who could withstand the air in the demon world went out to investigate.
The ruby pendant was used to open the teleportation array between the human world and the demon world and locate it in Rotgar Castle. As the sacrifice captured by Magnolia, Leon could be regarded as the only witness at the time, except for the already crazy Grace. He told Bishop Christopher all the circumstances of the ceremony, and then combined with Grace's occasional pop-up statement, confirming the role of the ruby pendant, and using it to locate the devil's teleportation array.
Although many people in Black Cloud City have seen demons, the sacrifice ceremony and tragedy of Magnolia's family are still secrets to most ordinary people or mages. As a witness, Leon originally only cooperated with the investigation and recovered from his injuries. , but after meeting Anna that day and seeing her captured by the devil, he actively participated in this matter. As someone who already knew the inside story, it was much easier for him to get involved.
Of course, these five-star mages were here to investigate other matters, and finding Anna was just a side trip, but for him, finding Anna was the main purpose.
However, things don't seem to be what he imagined.
The five-star mages had heard Anna say that another demon would be coming. They preferred to believe it, so they didn't care to say too much. Three five-star mages immediately started the teleportation array together and transferred several people here. Together we brought them back to the human world.
As soon as she came out of the teleportation array, Anna saw many people around her, and beneath her feet was an exquisite teleportation array that was carefully drawn.
"There may be demons coming, be prepared to fight!" Bishop Christopher ordered immediately after coming out.
Some priests quickly dismantled the teleportation array, while the rest retreated a hundred meters away.
Anna glanced around, and there were not many familiar faces around, and the most familiar one was actually a stranger to her.
Yes, it was Raymond she was talking about.
Anna remembers that when she first saw Raymond, he had been possessed by Lotgar, and after Lotgar left his body, she had been taken to the devil world. In other words, the man she had been with day and night for many days actually did not recognize her at all.
Not sure if he noticed Anna's gaze, Raymond looked over with an arrogant expression.
Anna smiled. He should also know by now that he was once possessed by Rotgar and therefore lost a piece of his memory, right? Thinking about it, he also knew that during this period, he had always been a couple with her in the eyes of others. Think about it, he is also innocent.
"Anna." Leon walked up to Anna at some point.
Bishop Christopher and several five-star mages had differences before. Some people believed that Anna should be sent away as soon as possible to at least ensure part of the victory. Others believed that Anna had successfully survived in the devil world and protected the devil in turn. This shows that she and The relationship between the devil and the devil is unusual, and he can be used as a hostage so that the devil does not dare to act rashly.
After some debate, the latter won the support of the majority. Leon's words carried little weight. After knowing that Anna would be left as a hostage, he could only walk over helplessly.
"Leon." Anna nodded, "I know there are some things that are very incomprehensible to you... I don't know how to explain it. I have always been very grateful for being able to learn from you in the past. I didn't expect that things would end up like this... You can pretend that you have never taught me as a student."
Leon looked at Anna who was silent for a long time, and then said: "Anna, I know who you are, and if you are willing, I can help you."
Anna turned sideways and showed her hand behind her back, smiling deliberately: "Untie the rope for me and let me go back to the devil world?"
She didn't know Rotgar's situation now and was a little worried, but she felt that as the Grand Duke of the Abyss, he wouldn't die like this, so she wasn't too worried.
She actually didn't think she would be able to return to the Demon Realm in a short time.
The strength of demons will weaken in the human world, and looking at the badges on the mage's robes here, there are at least seven five-star mages. Even if Balan comes, he will be beaten back when he comes out.
Leon shook his head: "Sorry, I can't do this."
"I was just joking." Anna smiled, "My matter is too big, there is no need for you to get involved. You just taught me for a few days, and you are not really my teacher. You don't have to do anything for me. responsible for their actions.”
Leon opened his mouth, wanting to say that he didn't go to the devil world to save her for this reason, but he couldn't say it at the moment.
"Leon, it turns out that you and this human traitor had a teacher-student relationship." Raymond came over at some point and mocked.
The relationship between Raymond and Leon was not good before Rotgar possessed him. He was happy if he could make Leon unhappy.
Anna turned to look at Raymond, looking at his familiar face with emotion in her heart. Rotgar had used this body to "pursue" her. This feeling was really wonderful.
"What's that, Master Lyon? You still have an intimate relationship with me, a human traitor, that goes far beyond the teacher-student relationship." Anna took Raymond's words unceremoniously, trying to ridicule Lyon in front of her was really a dream.
Raymond glared at Anna. Of course he knew that his body had been possessed by a demon. His servant also told him that during the period when he was possessed, he had close contact with a civilian mage named Anna, but that Anna later disappeared. Yes, he deliberately pretended not to know.
But some time ago, Anna reappeared in Black Cloud City, attracting demons, and was captured by the demons. Anna's name reappeared in his sight. As a person involved in the incident, it was easier for him to join the demon world led by Bishop Christopher. The investigation team stayed in the human world to respond.
Now he saw that Anna, whose name he had only heard but never seen, was brought back from the Demon Realm. When he heard that she helped injured and unconscious demons escape from the Demon Realm, he decided that she was a human traitor. In addition, Leon seemed very familiar with Anna, so he couldn't help but come over and taunt her. He and Leon had always been at odds with each other, and he was happy when Leon was unhappy.
But he didn't expect to be ridiculed so much by Anna, a civilian mage and human traitor!
"That's the devil and has nothing to do with me!" Raymond yelled angrily.
Anna looked at him and smiled, her smile was very subtle: "Really? He used your body..."
Anna's words actually didn't mean anything serious, but combined with her subtle expression of hesitating to speak, it was extremely easy for people to think of it, and at least Raymond blushed with anger.
Raymond glared at Anna, trying to say something but unable to say anything.
What on earth did that damn demon do to this civilian mage with his body! But he had no memory of anything, which really made him anxious and angry!
"What the devil does has nothing to do with me!" Raymond dropped a harmless retort and turned around to leave.
Anna couldn't help but smile when she saw Raymond running away in anger. When she met Leon's hesitant gaze, she smiled and said, "Actually, nothing happened. I was just angry with him."
Even under such circumstances, Leon couldn't help but want to laugh. Anna seemed to be such a person, very optimistic at all times.
"Leon, you don't have to worry about me here." Anna saw that some of the five-star mages were looking this way frequently, and she didn't want to cause any more trouble to Leon, so she shouted out to drive him away, "I want to sit by myself for a while."
"...Okay." Leon really had no position to say anything more and could only leave.
Anna said that she would sit for a while. In fact, there was a mage watching her, but she didn't care. She sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes to meditate.
Of course, because her mental power was imprisoned, such meditation had no effect. She was just passing the time.
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sudden commotion ahead. Anna suddenly opened her eyes and saw Balan spreading his wings in mid-air, looking down at the group of human mages.
He glanced at Anna who was tied up in the back but at least alive, and he was slightly relieved.
Just now, a group of Warcraft rushed to his castle with the unconscious Rotgar. He recognized that the mouse in the lead was the Warcraft that liked to dig up the ground outside Rotgar's castle. After the two parties communicated, he understood that there was a group of The daring human mage broke into Lotgar's castle and happened to encounter Lotgar and Anna going out. Lotgar returned injured and Anna stayed behind to protect Lotgar.
After Balan learned that Lotgar had signed a soul contract with Anna, he no longer thought about doing anything to Anna. Now that he learned that she had sacrificed herself to stay for Lot, his opinion of her has been greatly improved.
So after settling Lot, he rushed over, so that for Lot, who was willing to sacrifice himself for Anna, he wanted to take her back!
But after glancing around, Balan frowned. I'm afraid this would be difficult.
There are too many five-star mages here.
Balan never lets himself be surrounded by many five-star mages. He knows where his limits are. He will not be like Lot, who sometimes just wants to escape when he clearly can't beat him, but he has to go up and fight. leave.
There are so many fun places in the human world that don't have five-star mages, so why bother with five-star mages
But the current situation was one where he couldn't leave easily.
After Balan appeared, the human mages just quickly became alert, and no one took action.
He also did not take action, but looked at the cardinal who was obviously the leader and said with a smile: "The human world and the demon world do not invade each other, so I will not care about your sin of forcing the castle of the Archduke of the Abyss, as long as you hand over that human being."
He pointed at Anna.
The appearance of the Archduke of the Abyss was different. Bishop Christopher recognized that this was not the demon he had seen. He guessed that the demon was still in a coma and did not come. This demon must be the demon that Anna said came to rescue him.
"She is a human being, and I cannot hand over a human being to a demon." Bishop Christopher said, "Maybe you can tell me why you want her."
Balan smiled gracefully: "It's not me who wants her, it's my friend."
He then deliberately smiled ambiguously: "As for why you want her... a man, a woman, why? My friend currently loves this human being very much, and he hasn't gotten tired of it yet. It's not good for him to wake up and find that I put him Did he lose his little pet?”
Anna heard Balan's words word for word. She looked at the demon in mid-air and raised her eyebrows, but naturally did not refute.
If she is not the person involved, Balan's words are too credible. She is a human and the other person is a demon. Can he still treat her as a serious lover? Balaam said this because he intended to slightly reduce her importance to prevent him from being too passive.
Just as Anna expected, Bishop Christopher did not raise any suspicion. He said, "Forgive us for not being able to comply. We cannot hand over humans to the devil."
Balan was not angry. If possible, he did not want to face seven five-star mages.
"I think you should ask Anna herself if she is willing to go back with me?" Balan said, "If she is willing, you have no reason to stop her, right?"
Bishop Christopher and others worked hard to bring Anna back, and there was absolutely no reason to just hand her over.
"She has been bewitched by the devil, there is no need for us to ask her." Bishop Christopher said. The devil uses humans as playthings, but humans are willing to sacrifice everything for the devil. He has seen similar things like this many times. For the so-called love, she will naturally be willing to go back.
Balan laughed: "Why bother? Now I will still reason with you, but if I wait for my friend to come over, he will not tell you any reason. He will kill everyone here without leaving any one behind. You should be happy , I am not a murderer, and I am still willing to talk to you. Hand over Anna now, and I promise not to hurt any of you."
After all, Balan is the Duke of the Abyss. Compared to Aosta and Lotgar, he does not kill, but his patience is not that good either.
Bishop Christopher dared to lead people to block here, so he never thought of avoiding the fight. He even thought that maybe he could keep this devil.
He had wounded another demon before and knew that demons were not unmatched in strength, at least in the human world.
"Then we don't need to talk."
As soon as Bishop Christopher finished speaking, the remaining five-star mages immediately got into a fighting stance, while the non-five-star mages retreated one after another to give them a large enough battlefield.
Anna was also led back nearly a hundred meters. Because there were trees in the middle, Balan could only be seen hovering in the air from time to time, avoiding powerful and dazzling spells. He wanted to fly towards Anna, but those The five-star mages cooperated with each other, and some were able to use spells to fight in the air, completely stopping Balan.
After a while, Balan had some injuries on his body. He looked at the five-star mages standing in front of him, and then looked behind the defensive line like a chasm, but he didn't know where Anna was.
Knowing that he could not take Anna away today, Balan snorted coldly, took the time to open the teleportation array, and left the human race. After Lot wakes up, they will come back together!
The five-star mages failed to stop Balaam and were not discouraged.
Although some of them were injured, with one against seven, they only suffered minor injuries, so their morale was greatly boosted, and they were no longer afraid of demons, the top creatures in the demon world.
Although there were often legends of demons in the past, demons rarely came into direct contact with mages, and the time between their appearances was too long. None of the living five-star mages had ever dealt with demons. Because they don't understand, they have fear, but now that they know that demons are not invincible at least in the human world, they are no longer so worried about demons.
Of course, these five-star mages also know very well that the qualifier is "in the human world". Their strength in the demon world is severely suppressed. It seems that demons are similar in the human world, so they can work together to defeat demons in the human world. Doesn't it mean This can be done in the demon world.
After confirming that Balan had been defeated, Bishop Christopher immediately arranged for everyone to leave the place. He came to Anna and asked: "You should know about that devil, right?"
He had never met a human being who had lived in the demon world before. All the people in the human world combined were not as familiar with the demon world as Anna, so she was a very important source of information.
Anna said: "I'm not sure. After all, I'm just another devil's little pet. How can I know so many things?"
Anna's attitude was very uncooperative, but Bishop Christopher didn't say anything. He just said: "Master Anna, please remember that you are a human being. I will take you to see something next, and I hope you can remember your Human identity.”
After Bishop Christopher finished speaking, he left, leaving Anna with some doubts.
What was he taking himself to see
This place is not far from Blue Stone City, and it is also very close to the line of life and death. This team did not go to Blue Stone City for repairs. After everyone dressed up, they walked forward along the line of life and death with great fanfare.
There are seven five-star mages in the team. With such a dream lineup, there is no need to worry when walking near the line of life and death.
Anna sat on the carriage and looked at the surrounding scene with some nostalgia. This was the road she and Dibian took when they fled from Blue Stone City to Black Cloud City.
Of course, although it is a dream team, it is near the line of life and death after all. Warcraft will always attack, but it will not cause any casualties to the team.
Anna followed this convoy for two days. After watching the five-star mage destroy a group of monsters that came in groups, Anna couldn't help but frown.
Something was wrong... When she first walked this road with Dibian, although she could see some magical beasts from time to time, the number was not as alarming as it is now.
Could it be that something went wrong in the line between life and death
Anna remembered that when she was still in Black Cloud City, she, Natalie, Rotgar, and Leon went to the line of life and death for a trial. Unexpectedly, the three-headed magic eagles that were not supposed to appear near the line of life and death appeared in groups. Take her away.
Afterwards, they reported the strange behavior of the three-headed magic eagle to the Black Cloud City Mage Association. The association sent a team to check, but in the end found nothing. Is there any connection between the abnormal situation at that time and the excessive number of monsters now
After a while, the convoy suddenly turned away from the line of life and death, and stopped about an hour later.
Anna was asked to get out of the carriage. She saw a village ahead. She thought she was going to stop for repairs and have a meal or something, but Bishop Christopher called her over.
Bishop Christopher didn't say anything, he just took Anna to look at each room.
There were about twenty houses in this village, made of stone, wood and thatch. When she walked to the entrance of the village, she remembered that she had been here with Dibian before. At that time, she bought several sets of men's clothes from a family to disguise herself. , she still remembers that the person who sold her the clothes was a peasant woman. Those sets of clothes were left by her deceased husband. The honest peasant woman smiled from ear to ear while holding the silver coins she gave her.
But now, the village is quiet and there is no one.
From the moment she saw the first room, Anna kept a sullen expression until the last room.
Every room was in a mess, with a lot of blood stains, and some even had a small amount of human body residue...
Bishop Christopher remained silent until he had seen all the houses and then said: "This village is nearly ten miles away from the line of life and death. Occasionally, there will be weak monsters wandering over. The hunters here can easily drive them away. But some time ago , a large number of monsters attacked this village, and everyone died in the mouth of the monsters."
He looked ahead and said: "Such things not only happened in this village, we received reports that such tragedies occurred in at least seventeen other villages near the line of life and death, and two other cities were attacked by groups of monsters. But because the mage association in the city organized the mages to fight against the monsters, they survived."
Anna continued to remain silent, and Bishop Christopher continued: "There is a problem within the line of life and death. And the root of this problem is in the devil world."
He looked at Anna and said sincerely: "Master Anna, we need to know the situation in the demon world. Otherwise, if this situation continues, the entire human world will be destroyed by demonic beasts."
Anna suddenly remembered the anomaly in the abyss.
Rotgar previously said that the abyss has an activity cycle, and he waited until it was safe before taking her to the vicinity of the abyss. However, the abyss suddenly expanded and sucked them all in. It was obvious that something was wrong on the abyss.
In the past, Anna felt that the situation on the line of life and death was somewhat special. Entering the line of life and death would cause some discomfort, just like humans entering the demon world, but the discomfort effect was much worse. Now that I think about it, maybe the space within the line of life and death is just an extension of the demon world? Those monsters only move within the line of life and death, because the environment there is more like the demon world, and they feel very comfortable. The further away from the line of life and death, the higher the level of the monsters inside, and they don't like to come out. This must be because the inside is more like the environment of the demon world, and high-level monsters are more comfortable inside.
And now, groups of Warcraft begin to attack the village... Maybe it's not the Warcraft that has a problem, but the line of life and death that has a problem! In other words, the line of life and death is likely to be expanding outward, so the group of Warcraft is also moving outward!
Of course Anna also understood the seriousness of this matter.
According to the information she knows so far, there might be something wrong with the abyss, affecting the line between life and death, and ultimately the entire human world.
If the problem cannot be solved, the entire human world may be "transformed" into the demon world. Then only high-level mages will be able to survive in this new demon world, and in the end humanity will most likely become extinct.
Of course Anna couldn't just watch this happen.
So, Anna spoke: "There may be something wrong with the abyss."
Bishop Christopher was relieved to see that Anna was really willing to speak after seeing the tragic situation in the village.
He is a core figure in the Holy See. Of course he knows what the abyss refers to, but he does not know how the abyss was created and what it looks like.
"Have you ever seen the abyss with your own eyes?" asked Bishop Christopher.
Anna said: "I've seen it before, and I've been in it before. The place was in chaos, and it was difficult to escape without knowing the direction."
Bishop Christopher frowned, because this description reminded him of a different space called the "Devil's Eye" mentioned in the report of the investigation team sent by the Holy See to the inside of the line of life and death. A cardinal took the risk to enter it. When he came out, he only had one breath left. After describing the situation inside the "Devil's Eye", the cardinal died.
This made the entire Holy See realize the seriousness of the matter, and then they found a way to send people to the devil world. This was a mission with a narrow escape from death. Bishop Christopher took the initiative to volunteer. He originally thought that his trip would be very unlucky, but the final result was much better than he expected.
Capturing demons was not actually part of the plan at the beginning. Their team mainly wanted to investigate the situation in the demon world in order to find out what was going on. The Anna who was brought back seemed to have a lot of knowledge about the demon world and the abyss, and she was willing to say that this was the best gain. And what she said also matched what they said.
Bishop Christopher briefly talked about the findings of the Holy See within the line of life and death, especially the situation of the "devil's eyes". He told Anna that the demon's eyes were gradually expanding.
Anna frowned and thought for a while and said, "If this continues, will the devil's eyes swallow up the entire human world?"
The "evil eye" on the line of life and death is too similar to the abyss. What is the relationship
"No one knows." Bishop Christopher said, "His Majesty the Pope believes that this is probably a conspiracy of the demon world. He wants to turn the entire human world into an environment similar to the demon world, thereby occupying the human world."
Although there are teleportation arrays between the human world and the demon world, there are only a few demon archdukes there. Moreover, the environment between the human world and the demon world is too different. Demons cannot run rampant in the human world, and human mages cannot be arrogant when they go to the demon world. Therefore, there is actually no value for the two sides to occupy each other.
But if the environment of the human world is changed, the demon world can occupy the human world, thus taking both the human world and the demon world into its pocket.
"Impossible, the demon world is a piece of loose sand, it is impossible to do this." Anna immediately retorted, "Those demons have no interest in occupying the human world."
Based on what she has seen in the demon world, the entire demon world cannot be called a civilized society. The demons who are nominally the Dukes of the Abyss may have recruited some demon beasts to control them, but they have no clear concept of territory and do not actually control an army of demon beasts. of. Just three or two kittens, why are they taking over the human world
Although Bishop Christopher valued getting information about the demon world from Anna, he naturally did not believe in her judgment.
How could she tell her what the demons were planning
But when he saw Anna's determined look, he knew that she wouldn't believe it no matter what he said. Perhaps that was how those demons brainwashed Anna.
Bishop Christopher avoided talking about what Anna said and only said: "The Holy See has sent a special investigation team to Black Cloud City. I hope you can cooperate with the inquiry in the future."
Anna nodded silently, of course she would cooperate, and she did not want the human world to be destroyed.
Perhaps to avoid suspicion, Bishop Christopher did not ask Anna any more questions after that, and he did not even see her alone again during the subsequent journey.
Anna felt much more comfortable during the rest of the journey, because the confinement circle was expanded to cover the entire carriage. As long as she was in the carriage, she did not need to tie her hands.
Afterwards, Black Cloud City arrived.
Black Cloud City was a happy place for Anna, but it was also a sad place. She entered the city in a carriage, and her final destination was the church in Black Cloud City.
The place where Anna got off the carriage was in the apse of the church. When she arrived, she was locked in a room equipped with a confinement circle. After probably staying in the room for more than an hour, the door opened, and someone came in and put a restraining bracelet on her, tied her hands behind her back, and took her out.
Many people escorted Anna to a hall. The hall was magnificent. In the innermost part stood a full-length statue of the goddess of light. Several cardinals, including Bishop Christopher, were in the queue, and next to them there were five-star figures wearing mage robes. Several mages participated in the trip to the demon world.
And beside those cardinals, stood an acquaintance of Anna, the silver-haired Holy Son Victor who had been possessed by Lotgar.
Anna probably counted, and there were a total of about ten five-star mages present. In such a battle, it would be useless for several demons to come.
Therefore, she was untied after entering, but the restraining bracelet was still on. As for the bracelet Rotgar gave her, it had already been confiscated.
"Anna, a commoner in Blue Stone City, entered the Earl's Mansion in Blue Stone City and became a maid in the kitchen. During this period, the devil possessed Parrish Wilson, Ulysses Raphael, and Victor Kossosila. Wei, pursuing him. Later, Anna escaped from Blue Stone City, arrived at Black Cloud City, and joined the Mage Association to become a mage apprentice. At the same time, the devil also possessed Raymond Bailedford and continued to pursue him. During this period, Anna passed the one-star promotion assessment and the two-star promotion assessment successively, becoming a two-star mage. She was almost inseparable from Natalie Wright and Raymond Bailedford, who was possessed by the devil. Later, Lanno, who secretly believed in the devil, The family captured Anna, Natalie Wright, and Leon Freeman and wanted to sacrifice them to summon the devil, but they were almost wiped out by another brutal demon. Natalie Wright died on the spot, Leon Freeman was seriously injured, and Anna Disappeared. After that, Anna reappeared in Blue Stone City and took her family away. Then she went to Blue Stone City and was taken away by the chasing demons. Finally, she was brought back to the human world by Bishop Christopher who went to the demon world. The third demon chased him from the demon world. I came and wanted to bring Anna back, but I was repelled by Bishop Christopher and others.”
The man who looked like he was a bishop slowly finished this sentence, which almost summarized everything that happened when Anna traveled through time. Of course, there are many things that the non-participants do not know, so there are some things that have been missed, especially what happened in the demon world, they have no idea at all.
Such a paragraph is to let Anna understand that they have found out a lot, and at the same time, it is also explaining the cause and effect to those present who do not know everything.
Because of this, many looking eyes suddenly fell on Anna, wondering what it was about her that made a demon pursue her so closely.
"Anna, why is the demon who keeps possessing you pursuing you?" The cardinal in charge looked older than Bishop Christopher, and more dignified and old-fashioned. This question was full of hostility towards Anna.
The cardinal knew of Anna's performance when she met the investigation team in the demon world. Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of the pagans who betrayed humans and went to the demons.
Anna said: "Because of a bet. He made a bet with his friend that as long as he can pursue me, he will win."
Anna felt that she had been very candid and told the truth right away, but her truth was so unbelievable that no one there believed it, including Bishop Christopher.
The chief cardinal even scolded angrily: "If you still want to bask in the glory of the goddess and enter the Kingdom of God after death, stop lying in front of the goddess! Even ordinary people can't be fooled by lies like yours! They are the most powerful Dukes of the Abyss in the demon world, how could they waste half a year on ordinary humans because of a small bet?"
Anna still understood the cardinal's anger very well. After all, when she heard Rotgar in the Demon Realm saying that he was chasing her just for a bet, her reaction was "that's it."
How can people who have never been to the demon world, who have never seen demons with their own eyes, or who have never dealt with demons personally, know that demons are so idle
Anna glanced around, and the others had similar reactions.
She was silent for a few seconds and said: "Okay, let me tell the truth. The devil later told me that he thought I was the most beautiful woman in the world and fell in love with me at first sight. He very much hoped that I could fall in love with him willingly, so he kept pursuing me. I."
The most beautiful woman in the world…
Everyone present looked at Anna's expression in a very strange way. They felt like they wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, and they felt uncomfortable if they didn't say it.
It is true that Anna's appearance can be considered beautiful, but compared with the title of "the most beautiful woman in the world", it is far behind.
When everyone didn't know whether what Anna said was true or false, Anna added without changing her face: "I am self-aware, and like you, I feel that the devil is lying to me, but that's what he said at the time, and he was indeed very obsessed with it later. My body, so I think what he said should be true."
They didn't believe that Lotgard was pursuing her because of a bet, and they probably didn't believe that Lotgard hadn't really slept with her so far, so she might as well tell them something they could believe. . She just wanted to skip this useless question and answer and get to the point as soon as possible.
As soon as Anna said this, the mages had different reactions.
The priests of the Holy See did not like Anna's "dirty words", and they were all a little unhappy. The elemental mages didn't care about this, they just felt that it was a bit bold for a young girl like Anna to say these words in front of so many five-star mages.
As for the Holy Son Victor, who had not changed his expression when the Cardinal mentioned him before, although he still maintained a holy expression at this time, he was in a bad mood.
The devil is obsessed with her body? Oh, it's over.
