The Exorcist Boy: The Book of Conviction

Chapter 34 Silly or mentally retarded
But Her Royal Highness doesn't know this, he only knows that holding a weapon may be able to threaten the assassin in front of him.

But now her appearance is really not deterrent at all.

She was wearing a long white dress with a lot of dirt on it. At the same time, the weapon she held in both hands was shaking constantly, and the muzzle of the gun was not properly aimed at Snow.

Snow scratched his head in distress, looking at the other party's appearance.

"That...Princess Adele Rhine?"

"Yes! I'm Adele Rhine..."

Her Royal Highness replied instinctively. At the same time, she wanted to subconsciously pinch the hem of the skirt with her two hands and bowed to salute.

But soon she came back to her senses and clenched the weapon in her hand again.

Snow rolled his eyes helplessly, and the maid on the ground also showed a look of despair.

"Okay, Your Highness, first of all I want to declare that I am not an assassin, I just want to ask you a few questions, it's just that the method is a little bit more intense.

What's more, it was your maid who acted aggressively. I was just defending myself... Look at what she called me. "

Snow pointed to his face indignantly.

Princess Adele blinked innocently, thought for a while, and then answered cautiously.

"Well, Mr. Assassin... are you... excuse me?"

"I'm not an assassin."

"OK……"

Snow stared at the other party for a while, then said suddenly.

"In that case, let's negotiate. I'll ask, you can answer. Of course, you can refuse, but I have hostages in my hand."

After finishing speaking, Snow tapped the maid who was tied to the ground with his toe.

"As long as you answer my questions and return my things to me, I'll let you two go. How about it? It's reasonable to exchange one for one, right?"

Princess Adele looked at the maid on the ground with some embarrassment, then hesitated for a while, her eyes turned back and forth between [Sacred Flame of Slaughtering Demons], Snow and Phyllis.

After a while, she nodded vigorously.

"Okay, one for one, this is a very reasonable way of exchange, then you ask."

Snow squinted his eyes and looked at the lovely and innocent noble lady in front of him. He always felt that the princess in front of him didn't seem to be very smart.

"All right!"

Snow shrugged his shoulders. He began to feel some guilt. After all, it was illegal to bully the mentally retarded in his previous life.

"First of all, the first question, Princess Adele, do you know demons?"

"The one who...bewitches the hearts of the people, deceives the soul, came out of hell with horns and wings..."

"It's not something invented in an adventure novel. I'm talking about a murder weapon that turns into an oval shape, floats in the air, and can shoot out various shells..."

"Sorry, I don't know!"

Princess Adele shrank her neck in embarrassment, she had never heard of this so-called demon.

"Then to change the question, the Grand Duke is your father, right?"

"It's my grandpa..."

"It doesn't matter, about this war..."

"do not know."

"about……"

"do not know."

Snow briefly explained the current situation, and it turned out that this Princess Adele was simply an idiot who didn't know anything. Seeing her innocently blinking, he patted his head in distress.

"I'm careless, I never expected that I would meet the silly Baitian who can only be seen in legends, and I'm naturally dumb... This means that you are good-looking and rich to be called that.

For those who have no money and are ugly, people like you have always been called mentally retarded. "

"Woooooo."

An angry protest and struggling sound from the maid came from behind.

"Sorry, I'm too stupid to help you."

Princess Adele lowered her head aggrieved... A sense of guilt surged into Snow's heart again.

"Okay, please don't pay attention, I apologize for what I just said."

Snow stepped forward with a dejected expression on his face, pulled back the [Devil Slayer Holy Flame] in her hand under the dull gaze of the other party, and then made two handprints to release the bondage on the maid lady.

The maid named Phyllis immediately struggled to her feet, limped and quickly rushed to her princess, dragged her behind her, and stared vigilantly at Snow on the opposite side.

"Don't look at me like that, just take it as a misunderstanding, I apologize for my previous rash behavior, but I really didn't want to hurt you.

The injury on your body means that you overreacted and asked for trouble, and you have already beaten me so badly. "

Snow pointed to his own face, and responded angrily to the other party's gesture.

Hearing Snow's words, Felice's cold and hostile expression seemed to soften a little, but this did not mean that he trusted the so-called "exorcist" in front of him.

Yes, during the previous conversation between Snow and Princess Adele, she had already roughly understood the other party's purpose.

The army of the Principality of the Rhine has been mixed with something called a demon, which is a tragic product that should not be tolerated in the world, and the Grand Duke may have participated in the creation of this demon.

After all, that army entered the arena in the name of the Grand Duke's personal guard.

"Exorcist……"

Phyllis said coldly.

"As I said before, Your Highness doesn't know anything, but I can tell you one thing. The weapon named demon first appeared in the vanguard army of Beto Principality attacking my border...

Then they also slaughtered, in a small town near there. "

"you sure?"

Snow's eyes froze. He didn't expect that there were demons haunting Beto's place, and he was the first to throw himself into the militarized struggle.

The maid Felina didn't answer the other party's question, but continued to speak to herself.

"The intensity of the war was very high, but no real remains of the victims were buried, at least Rhine didn't...

Every complete body of the dead has been transported back to the rear, and the families of many victims have been called..."

Snow completely explained to the princess once, the manufacturing process of the so-called demon-killing weapon. Although the other party couldn't understand, the maid on the ground was not an idiot.

"This decision was probably made by the Grand Duke after the Rhine lost a third of its land.

At the same time, according to the information obtained by Rhine, Beto is doing the same thing. "

Snow felt like his head was going to explode. He knew what it meant. Although the two countries were small in size, after this war, the number of people participating in the war would at least exceed [-].

Judging from the battalion of wounded soldiers that Snow saw, it is not too much to judge that more than one-tenth of the number of people has been lost.

If the upper echelons of both parties colluded with the Earl of the Millennium, transported the bodies of the dead soldiers back, and then bewitched their families, using the calls of their relatives, to summon their souls back and make them into demons...

Doesn't that mean that there are at least thousands of demons hidden within the boundaries of these two duchies.

Snow felt as if his head had been hit by a sledgehammer, and this inference instantly made him dizzy.

[Earl of the Millennium] If you really don't make a move, it's amazing if you make a move. Thousands of demons, even if they are just born at the first level, are enough to raze these two duchies to the ground.

"Anything else worth noting?"

Snow hurriedly pressed on. Phyllis seemed to be hesitant. After turning her head to look at Princess Adele, she lowered her eyes and answered in a low voice.

"During the war, the princess lost her father, the first heir to the Principality of the Rhineland, the Grand Duke's favorite son, His Royal Highness the First Prince... He was suddenly attacked on the battlefield.

Then the Grand Duke suddenly issued the order to recover the remains of the victims, and also summoned a large number of their relatives to form the so-called "Vengeance Guard", which is the group of people newly supported by the logistics town.

According to what you said, those guys are most likely all so-called..."devils" and even the Grand Duke..."

Phyllis bit her lip and didn't continue speaking.

Recently, the Grand Duke's attitude towards his favorite granddaughter has changed very strangely. At the beginning, he loved this granddaughter very much.

But in recent days, the Grand Duke has almost completely ignored Princess Adele, and his attitude towards her is also very cold.

Although it was due to the loss of an heir, it was not enough for the princess to be left out in the cold all of a sudden. When she traveled, she didn't even have a team of guards.

The atmosphere in the palace suddenly became strange in just a few days.

Princess Adele is an innocent and pure girl, she failed to notice the sudden change in the atmosphere around her, and she still lives carefree as before.

But Phyllis discovered all kinds of abnormalities in the palace, and the weird atmosphere made her feel that something was wrong, so she encouraged the princess to come out and take the initiative to carry out the so-called "consolation".

Because the frontline commander is Princess Adele's uncle, an upright and trustworthy royal general.
