Sir, this is not how bad women are used.

Nancy took the sword blade handed over by Princess Yana and looked at it carefully. The time of twilight was over. After the cloth strip was removed, the blade inside could basically be said to be a piece of iron embryo, and the twilight color on the sword had disappeared.

Even if you throw it on the street now, there is no guarantee that anyone will pick it up as a treasure.

"This sword was in the box? When you entered the room, the box was placed right in the middle?"

Nancy pressed this point, as if it was planned that the two of them would go into that room.

It just so happens that the Curse-Witch and the Twilight Witch mentioned by the Witch Club are the same person.

Chu Yan showed the title page to his aunt, and then threw the question to Princess Ye Nai, saying:

"This is not a question I should answer. Princess Ye Na pulled out this sword when she performed swordsmanship in the nightmare space."

Ye Na was in a dilemma and said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you the information, but I don't know the reason. I just gritted my teeth and used my sword skills to buy some time for Chu Yan, and the sword came out by itself."

Chu Yan remembered something, the bloodstain... Could it be that the sword was given by someone with blood?

After reading the information on the title page, Nancy spread her hands, indicating that she couldn't see any clues.

Matters concerning this aspect can only be left unresolved for the time being.

"Deloya will most likely come back to check on the situation later. When that happens, Chu Yan, you can ask about the conditions of those arrested heretics."

"Row."

Chu Yan nodded happily. He wanted to ask right now, but he had just finished a life-and-death adventure and was still in shock. He just wanted to rest.

He suddenly asked, "Do you think the Celestial Spirits still exist? It's a bit strange... They are blessed by nature, but it's hard for them to have a good ending. They live worse than the humans."

This sounds a bit strange, as if the human race is more like cattle and horses, but there are no outsiders here, and everyone knows that Chu Yan's real intention is not to disparage.

When it comes to topics like this that involve secrets, it is difficult for the taboo sisters to participate as their knowledge and experience are relatively narrow.

Nancy recalled the various secret intelligence she had come across in the past and shook her head:

"Either this tribe has died out, or it has changed its name. I have never heard of the Tianling tribe. Considering that this tribe once produced a witch, you'd better not ask around. Be careful that someone with ulterior motives hears it and causes trouble."

Under the current circumstances, if you are a traditional person, you can call yourself a magician; if you are a person who pursues individuality, you can call yourself a witch; if you are a person who wants to be pounded and beaten, you can call yourself a sorceress.

Anyway, the ones who come and go are all women who use magic as their main means of attack.

But you can't call yourself a witch, this title is closely related to the beliefs of heretical organizations and is not allowed

341

Anyone who tarnishes the name of the witch.

Daring to call yourself a witch would mean offending both the heretical organization and the Sanctuary of Discipline.

Although Tiffany often teases her baby son, she is not vague when giving advice. She gets straight to the point:

"A tribe that can produce B-rank adventurers before the age of ten cannot be unknown. It is probably difficult to get clues at the moment. If you really want to know, you might as well go to the Nightmare Dimension next time and ask other beings when you see them."

"It seems so."

Chu Yan felt that his brain was really stuck. There were so many people he could ask in the nightmare space. Wouldn’t the first-hand intelligence be better than the fragmentary information he had heard now?

However, now the Cursed Witch has become a mother who appears randomly and chases her son. Chu Yan has to strengthen his counterattack means before trying to enter the nightmare space next time.

At least there should be enough time to survive until he takes out the "key" and leaves.

Otherwise, he might die at any time.

The talk was over, and everyone was free to move around, but basically just lay down and rest.

Chu Yan took Princess Ye Nai to her room, which was the "ward" where she had lived before. If he didn't lead the way, she might not have known where the room was where she had been lying for so many days.

Chu Yan was not shy and as soon as he entered the room he lay down on the bed to relax.

Although his relationship with Princess Ye Na was suddenly closer in the nightmare space, there was still an initial problem between them that had not been resolved.

At the beginning, Chu Yan wondered whether she, the third princess of the empire, could be an opportunity to change the relationship between him and the church.

Now, the way of conversation has to change a little!

He suddenly sat up, his expression serious and solemn, and said, "Sister Ye Nai, what happened between you and General Shi Li earlier?"

The noble and beautiful white-haired queen stared at him blankly, and was very uncomfortable with Chu Yan's sudden call of "Sister~".

"Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"I don't think things are that simple. Although I helped you get rid of General Shi Li, there must be something that hasn't been dealt with cleanly. Sister Ye Na, you are quite powerful. There is no reason why you would be framed so easily. General Shi Li must have other helpers, right?"

Princess Ye Na looked at her dragon-born brother with great surprise. She didn't expect that he would care about such matters.

In Ye Na's eyes, Chu Yan's personality is a little eccentric, or he doesn't care about his own business, but he is not a troublemaker.

"Of course there is. I will go back and deal with this matter personally after a while. Is there anything you desire?" As a princess of the empire, Ye Na has a very keen sense of smell in some aspects.

Chu Yan did not hide anything and said frankly, "Yes, the Empire and the Church are at loggerheads. I also want to change my passive position when facing the Church, so I am wondering if there is any opportunity for me to plot against you, Sister Ye Na."

Princess Ye Na nodded slightly: "I don't mind you being so straightforward and not beating around the bush. Let's talk about it."

Chu Yan smiled, but asked: "Then sister Ye Na, let's sit down and talk. Don't stand all the time. It's so embarrassing!"

Princess Ye Na paused and said hesitantly: "Can you find me a set of clothes first? I'm worried that the bedding will get dirty..."

How to say it, she really hoped that Chu Yan would notice this when she was talking in the reception room on the first floor just now. She was sitting among the crowd very awkwardly.

Chu Yan blinked his eyes. He had indeed neglected this matter. "It's been so long, why haven't you done anything yet?"

Princess Ye Na remained silent and didn't really want to respond to this question.

Chu Yan raised his hands in surrender and admitted his mistake, then quickly went to find Belsa to borrow some clothes.

*

Small church in the city.

Commander Deloyah is talking to his colleagues at the Sanctuary of Discipline, asking for details through a projection ceremony.

"Today, the aura of a forbidden person appeared, but it didn't look like the guys mentioned in the previous intelligence. My existence was exposed by accident. Do you have any new intelligence now?"

Author's words: One more update.

I haven't had enough energy in the past few days. It's the end of the month, and it's time to spread feces on the walls.

I'll count how much I've paid back tomorrow.

Chapter 4: Dead Souls' Writ (k)

Princess Ye Na is not the type of person who likes to talk about her own affairs. She has little desire to share her experiences and feelings, but since Chu Yan asked her so carefully and seriously, she made an exception and talked about her own affairs.

In the Yama royal family, she is a member of the imperial bloodline who is relatively outside of power. This does not mean that she has no power or is excluded.

On the contrary, King Yama valued and admired his daughter very much.

Princess Ye Na herself is proud of this, but she finds it difficult to adapt to the high pressure within the empire. This pressure does not only come from the strict requirements on ability and growth, but also from the feeling of spiritual suffocation.

Many years ago, Princess Yana went to the mountains to avoid the ubiquitous pressure, using the excuse of "going out to practice sword skills", but this made it even more difficult for Princess Yana to return to that atmosphere.

In order to prove that she needed to continue practicing, or to say that she had made great progress in practice and should not bury her talent but learn from a master, Princess Ye Na was very interested in swordsmanship and gradually discovered that she was indeed proficient in it.

This is a bit like... In order not to go home and inherit the family business, I choose to start a business outside temporarily.

342

The better things are going, the less I want to go back.

"But no matter what, there is a problem that royal children must face, and that is the conflict of succession, especially for royal families with many children. I was framed this time when I was out for training."

A trusted person asked his men to give her the secret manual of fighting skills, saying that he happened to find someone selling it and thought it was very suitable for her, so he bought it specially for her.

Who knew something would go wrong right after practicing...

Before you practice, can't you read the instructions in the combat skills book... I don't think I have the right to criticize others. Every time, it is the existence in the nightmare space who helps me light up the runes. Only after I try it myself do I know what it is useful for.

But Chu Yan was shameless and said, "Sister Ye Nai, you are too careless. How can you trust others so easily? At least carefully confirm the specific content of the combat skills..."

Princess Ye Na just smiled at this kind of afterthought and said helplessly:

"It doesn't matter if you have too many skills. If a combat skill doesn't work, you can just not use it in the future. It doesn't take much effort to learn it anyway. Besides, who would have thought that the brothers and sisters who used to be so friendly would suddenly send me something like this?"

Chu Yan nodded. There was really nothing that could be done about this. It was not her fault for being careless.

It is precisely because of trust that we are not too cautious, especially since Princess Ye Na still regards sword practice as a way to avoid pressure. So, we are naturally more trusting and at ease with this group of brothers and sisters who are not royal blood relatives.

However, Chu Yan felt that there was another point, which was the biggest reason why she fell into the trap. The contract of faith disguised as a combat skills secret book did not specify the price.

In the black market of the Tower of Babel area, there are many magic books and combat secrets that are similar to this. It is possible that they can really help adventurers learn a skill, but there is also a great possibility that they will have some negative effects.

Common negative effects include "doubling the consumption of magic" and so on, while more serious effects are varied.

Princess Ye Na didn't know at the time that once she learned the secret martial arts manual, it would be equivalent to "signing" a contract of faith.

"Then Sister Ye Na, are you going to go back and settle accounts with the people from your fellow kendo gym?"

"Yes, although it is not clear who is involved, we have already confirmed that they are General Shi Li and someone from my sect. We just need to follow the clues to find out who is involved."

Princess Ye Na's eyes were calm. She was not sad about this betrayal or frame-up, nor did she intend to dwell on why the other party did this.

That was not her concern, she just had to fight back.

The hardship was their excuse for the attack, not a reason for Ye Na to forgive them.

"This is the situation on my side. It seems that no link can help you. If you find out which of my brothers and sisters are related, I will throw them to you as captives, and you can take them to negotiate with the church. How about this?"

"..."

My dear sister, you are really a ruthless person who doesn’t talk much.

"We'll talk about it then." He did not give a definite answer.

Princess Ye Na caught his refusal intention and asked in confusion:

"What's wrong? You suddenly seem reluctant. Chu Yan, didn't you say that you wanted to deal with the relationship between yourself and the church?"

"Yes, but suddenly I feel that... taking advantage of your situation, Ye Na-nee, is not a good idea. You might get yourself into unnecessary trouble, and I don't want that!"

If King Yama knew that his daughter betrayed her blood brothers and sisters to the church, what would he think of her?

If Princess Yana was simply seeking revenge, then that would be reasonable and beyond reproach. It's just that the losing party was not as skilled as the other party. But what if she colluded with the church because of this?

Things will become complicated and disadvantageous to Princess Ye Na.

"I want to increase my voice in the church, even to the point of knocking my feet on the table in front of the Pope. I can do this by strengthening my own power instead of putting you in trouble."

"..." Princess Ye Na blinked, looking at Chu Yan's seriousness and sincerity when he spoke. She found it inexplicably funny and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

This guy is quicker than anyone else in recognizing his mother, but he is surprisingly strong-willed when it comes to certain things.

She nodded in approval: "Strengthening the strength of our own gang is a good idea~"

Chu Yan's mouth twitched: "That's called group power, don't talk about it like it's some criminal gang..."

......

Finished talking about the matter with my new sister.

Although Chu Yan was unable to take any shortcuts on the issue of the church, but avoiding the wrong path can be considered a progress in itself.

This would prevent Chu Yan from always thinking about strange things and allow him to concentrate on expanding the influence of his own gang, which would be acceptable.

Chu Yan immediately chose to have a good sleep.

When he woke up in that shabby house before, he didn't feel anything, but now that he was completely relaxed, he slept until the next afternoon.

After waking up, he did not sit idle, but chose to run to the Adventurer's Guild to observe the situation.

Over here in the guild hall, there are many people talking, and some people should be talking about the aura of the forbidden person yesterday, and by the way, they can also listen to the subsequent reactions of the people in the Sanctuary of Discipline.

Chu Yan sat on the chair and listened for a while. He heard a lot of information one after another. He slowly summarized his thoughts and said to himself:

“It turns out that the adventurers I saw running out of the house were

343

Heretic...

After Commander Deroya caught up with them, those guys immediately "self-destructed" and were swallowed by the tentacles that grew out of their bodies...?"

Unfortunately, apart from this simple follow-up, Chu Yan never heard any other news or information.
