Princess' personal painter

While the thoughts were running, the slender and holy staff condensed and formed from Irene's hands.

I saw Irene chanting a spell lightly, and wherever the white light went, the soldiers in front of them lost consciousness and fell to the ground.Then, she frowned slightly, and it still took more than ten seconds to use spells to move the group of sleeping soldiers into the nearby building.

During this period, Irene could feel that the growth rate of "strength" was a little faster than before, and her body also had a feeling of being gradually filled with something.She clutched her chest with some nausea for a moment, took a deep breath, and flew straight towards the square without further delay.

Can you still catch up now?

Chapter 58 Light and Darkness

"The crimes of this city will eventually be buried in the fire."

Overlooking the performance on the square, Luna whispered to herself, with a satisfied smile on her lips.However, if someone else sees her expression at this time, they will definitely feel trembling, because——

It was a terrifying smile that only a demon would show when he felt the joy of killing.

"But, my lovely race, someone wants to stop your wish... what should I do?"

As she said that, Luna showed a distressed expression again, and her eyes turned to the place around her.On the chair next to her, there was a girl who looked exactly like her, with the same long pale golden hair, the same ice blue eyes that revealed a cruel atmosphere, and the same small and delicate eyes stretched behind her. bone wing.

The only difference is that this "Luna" has a dull expression, as if she has lost her soul, she just looks at the sky blankly, and doesn't respond to the question from the deity.

Looking at this "doll" made by Irene, which looks almost identical to her, Luna smiled with great interest: "Let me tell you, what are you thinking? Obviously so Desperately wanting revenge, I have already given my all for this...but I still deliberately left behind, let the guy who got in the way to participate in our plan..."

Luna shook her head regretfully: "Obviously, as long as you dedicate yourself to me early, you don't need other people's assistance. Killing Chi Xie is just a matter of hand..."

"Kill your own enemy with your own hands... This is the only person you have killed in 30 years. I thought you had finally made some progress. But I didn't expect your will to be so weak..."

While speaking, a gust of wind blew, and the long hair that was blowing up temporarily blocked the girl's sight, and also disturbed the doll's beautiful blond hair.Luna narrowed her eyes, took a deep breath of the strong smell of blood in the wind, and then said to herself: "This is different from our agreement, it's really troublesome... Don't forget, if it weren't for me, you would He was sent to the stake and died more than ten years ago in the witch-hunting action of human beings..."

She stretched out her hand and combed the hair of the puppet that looked exactly like herself. Then she remembered something, picked up the clown mask from the table beside her, and put it on the puppet's cheek.She looked at the clown's smirking expression, and said thoughtfully: "I really don't understand why you are so obsessed with this weird mask? Role-playing games? Sometimes, even I can't figure it out Is the clown really you..."

For a moment, the girl's eyes became softer.But this strange tenderness was fleeting, and was immediately replaced by cold eyes.I saw this "Luna" turned around and looked at the figure in the distance wearing a holy aura, and snorted heavily: "Sad guy, no matter what you think, if it's this time If you desire some kind of redemption, it is really wishful thinking..."

When the words fell, Luna suddenly picked up the dagger from the table.Against the backdrop of the scarlet moon in the sky, the girl's seductive figure suddenly exuded an overwhelming pressure.

Eileen, who had rushed here, felt the powerful coercion, and couldn't help but sucked in a breath of cold air.Her perception is not wrong - this is deeply rooted in the deepest part of the souls of all demons, and everything in this world is bowed down in the name of "demon god", which comes from the real ruler of this plane Coercion.

I am about to face the legendary "Devil God", do I really have a chance of winning?

Erin held the staff tightly in her hand and stared at the girl in front of her.Becoming the demon god Luna, her strength may be unfathomable, but what is even more frightening is that she does not know what methods she has. The unknown is the most frightening thing.But even so, Irene never backed down.She took a deep breath and said loudly: "Whoever you are, please stop this senseless killing!"

Luna asked lightly: "Do those guys' lives have anything to do with you?"

Erin paused and said, "I can't just sit back and watch so many innocent creatures die before my eyes."

"The pedantic idea is as pedantic as Jelisha." Luna sneered, "It's no wonder you are charmed by this posture, obsessed with self-satisfying senseless justice."

"You know me very well." Irene said in a deep voice, "You clearly knew this, but you brought me to this city and asked me to act together with you... In fact, you already knew that there would be this result, right? "

Luna shook her head: "That is 'her' will, not mine." After a pause, she showed a sneer expression, "I said... Alyssa Mina, don't you already know Am I a demon god? You still talk to me in such a negotiating tone, do you expect me to compromise because of you?"

Irene stared at the girl in front of her: "I know, but you are only an extremely insignificant part of the demon god's huge consciousness. You are still very weak now, so weak that even I have a chance to defeat you."

"So what? The demon god's will cannot be disobeyed by mortals. Take a closer look at those poor maggots below...Since the rebellion 30 years ago, heavy 'sin' has been accumulating in this city. Now I'm just harvesting these 'sins' and purifying the city. Just like Jelisha will deliberately wait until the most desperate time of human beings to harvest faith, there is no substantial difference between what I did and that guy..."

"I have never believed in Jelisha, and I will never be swayed by your words."

Luna raised her proud head and looked at Irene: "Alyssa Mina, are you sure you want to stop me? You have other things to do in this world. When I gain enough power, I will follow the agreement." Helping you find the fallen Alice City and the royal family inside, the gods are the most faithful existence... But if you must fight me and accidentally lose your life, it is not my fault."

"I will stop you from continuing to commit evil deeds. Maybe I can't save everyone, but I will do my best to try. I don't want to see the picture of people dying in front of me again. I also know that this is definitely not what I know. Luna's true wish...so, let's fight!"

With the staff in Irene's hand as the center, the bright holy light illuminated the entire sky for a moment, even covering the abnormal moon.In this city, those people who were being eroded by Yaoyue's breath and who were killing each other gained a moment of sobriety under the strong care.

Even if these people are demons who are burdened with original sin.

Even if this piece of holy light belongs to the light spell that the demons fear most.

Like a miracle, this holy light that contained the condolences of the deceased almost overwhelmed the demon god's rule over this world.Luna, who was in the middle, narrowed her eyes for a moment, and she could even feel that her soul was being burned by the so-called holy light of disgust, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help showing a crazy smile.

"The battle between me and Jelisha is really a crime that I will bear forever..."

Chapter 59 Tombstone at the End of the World

The "dark area" in the extreme south, the wasteland.

The crimson earth is stained with a hazy sky.The further south you go, the more you can feel the lifelessness of this land.In front of the field of vision, the gloomy mist seems to cover everything, as long as you look at it one more time, you can feel the indescribable horror.

Wenjiesi stopped and made a judgment: "This direction may still not work."

Upon hearing this, Eunika closed her eyes, released her sword intent, and sensed the surrounding land.

Indeed, there are no living creatures in this area, and the manic monsters encountered before have disappeared here, and even plants cannot be seen.As for the strange mist ahead, when Eunika's consciousness tried to perceive it, she couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

It was a space that seemed to be completely frozen, and the only word that could be used to describe it was "nothingness".

Eunika said in a low voice: "I don't know what that is, but...it's dangerous. For humans, it may be an area where you can't even breathe."

In other words, did the search for a way out fail again?

In the past ten days, Wenjiesi and Eunika set off from the initial town and explored in different directions one by one.They fought against monsters all over the place several times, broke through their siege, and managed to find a way out twice, but they reached the boundless poisonous swamp and the foot of the volcano flowing with magma respectively, and found that they were impassable, and were forced to Forced to return to the town to re-plan.

The way forward was blocked by a strange fog. This was the third time that the siblings faced a similar situation.

Too much time wasted in this strange world, not knowing if things are going well with the princess.Is there a wrong way of acting?If you really can't find a way out, should you shift your focus and focus on investigating matters related to the "witch"?

Wenjiesi was thinking, when the younger sister suddenly said, "There is something strange over there."

Looking in the direction that Eunika pointed, Wenjiesi saw a pointed stone monument standing on the edge of the mist. Judging from the regular shape, it was obviously a man-made building.

"Let's go and see!"

The brothers and sisters stepped over the red gravel and came to the edge of the stone tablet not long after.

The location of the stele is very close to the mist.Coming here, even Wenjiesi could feel the desolate and dead silence coming from the mist, and it was much harder to breathe.As for Eunika, her reaction was even more violent, her face turned pale, and she was forced to release her sword intent to fight against the terrifying aura.

"It's uncomfortable being here," Eunika whispered.

"En." Wenjiesi replied, and then focused on the stone tablet in front of him.

This stele is about four or five meters high, gray and white all over, exuding a solemn atmosphere.On the lower part of the stele, there are several lines of small characters written in an unknown language. Wenjiesi glanced at it roughly, and was surprised to find that the most central part was marked on the side in the common language of the mainland——

Enolie Therecia. (Human World Calendar, Qingyue Calendar 265 to 289)

Wenjiesi took out a pen and paper, and carefully copied the words on the stone tablet, and then the brother and sister retreated to a position a little far away.I saw Unica said in surprise: "Teresia... This is a surname belonging to the royal family, and it actually appeared in this kind of place? Is there anyone with this name in the royal family?"

"I remember this name, indeed...she is not a member of the royal family, but in a sense, her status is even more prominent than the princess..." Wenjiesi hesitated a little at this point, but still decided Tell the secrets you know, "About 30 years ago, Horus suddenly informed the royal family that he had obtained a daughter. Although everyone was curious, where did the daughter of the 'guardian of kingship' who had guarded the country for nearly a hundred years without getting married come from? Who came out? Who is her biological mother? But obviously, no one dared to ask the lord these questions... Even the royal family did not dare to speculate on Horus' intentions. After weighing, the royal family decided to use Treat that newborn girl more than a royal princess."

Eunika took a breath: "It's actually the daughter of Horus."

Wenjiesi went on to explain: "Many people have forgotten that Horus was born as a refugee at the bottom. Before he became famous, he didn't even have a surname. When he became the guardian of Ruolin, the royal family honored Teresia. His family name is shared with him. Therefore, although Horus never used the royal family name on official occasions, it makes perfect sense for his daughter to have 'Teresia' in her name."

"Do you know what happened afterwards?"

"Enolie grew up in Elise City, enjoying the treatment like a royal princess, and was most enthusiastically sought after by the nobles. However, there are rumors that she is extremely out of gregarious, and her attitude towards others is very indifferent, and then some time out of nowhere For some reason, she had a rift with the princess, and left Alice City in a fit of anger, without knowing where to end... Several years later, when everyone heard about her again, it was Horus who brought back a newborn girl again... The girl, and announced to the world that her daughter has unfortunately passed away, leaving only such a granddaughter.”

"Who is the princess who has a quarrel with her?"

Wenjiesi nodded: "That's right, the benefactor who saved us."

When Eunika heard the words, she was a little stunned for a moment. In fact, her impression of Sisyana's mother, the princess who was loved by the people, only stayed at the scene where she extended a helping hand to herself.Because Eunika was only four years old when she was rescued, and the princess died of illness two months later, causing the whole country to mourn.

The two were silent for a while, and Wenjiesi continued: "At that time, there was a secret that the princess's condition suddenly worsened because she was cursed by the witch."

"Why are there such rumors?" Eunika was taken aback, and then she remembered something, "Could it be... because of Jacqueline?"

"Yes, no one expected that the granddaughter brought back by Horus, that is, Jacquiline, was actually a 'natural witch'. She was born with malice towards the world. That is to say, her mother, Enolie Teresia, who was once so sought after by others, transformed into a witch before giving birth to her daughter. This is simply unforgivable for a country with pure faith like Wakabayashi. But obviously, due to He Russ' strength and status are there, everyone is quiet and no one dares to question Horus."

Eunika whispered: "A born witch... From the standpoint of resisting the Holy See, Jacqueline should have stood with us."

"That's right, if the princess's act of saving us at that time only made the Holy See feel dissatisfied, then the matter of Jacqueline can be said to have completely angered the Holy See. Moreover, Horus also used the name of his daughter's unfortunate death, without informing the royal family. Under the circumstances, he went into a rage and killed a certain nobleman who had disrespected Enolie. At that time, His Majesty the King visited Horus himself and asked Horus about the whole incident, but he was coldly rejected... Although the royal family finally She still helped him calm down the incident helplessly, but this incident became the beginning of mutual suspicion between him, His Majesty the King and the nobles... Eunika, you are right. , but became our best cover."

Noticing some of the details that Wentiers said, Eunika asked inexplicably: "You mean, the great noble didn't abandon Jacqueline's mother all the time, but because of other reasons. He was just killed? Doesn’t this seem to be the same as the rumors?”

"The story of chaos and abandonment is just a rumor fabricated by the nobles. Perhaps this explanation can make the nobles feel superior... Combined with Horus' attitude, the judgment given by the royal family is that it should be that Some outrageous actions of a great nobleman caused Enolie to leave Alice City in anger, which indirectly led to her later misfortune and death. Of course, it is impossible to know the specific circumstances..."

Eunika sighed softly: "If this tombstone is true, it means that Jacqueline's mother, Enolie Theresia, only lived to be 24 years old, died in the same year as the princess, and was buried in this desolate place ...what happened between them?"

"These secrets may only be known by people at that time." After a pause, Wenjiesi suddenly thought of a few people, "Since Prime Minister Penelope participated in the incident, he must know something. And the Duke of the Sunset Lu Dolph Perrin, it is said that he was Enolie's most ardent suitor back then, and he was also the first to suspect that Horus would have a change, after leaving here, maybe we should find a time to visit him..."

In the middle of speaking, Wenjiesi found that his sister was staring at him without blinking. He coughed awkwardly and asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem with my proposal?"

Eunika said softly: "I found out that brother, you know a lot more than I thought."

Wentiers explained: "I have the habit of collecting intelligence..."

Eunika shook her head: "No, brother, you have something to hide from me... It's not right, you hid it from the princess. You have contacts with outsiders in private, and you obtained so much information from other places. To be honest, I never doubted you...but, in fact, I should have noticed long ago..."

"What did you notice earlier?"

"When the princess obeyed the royal family's arrangement and wanted to marry Anruel, you shouldn't have expressed nothing. You are different from me. I didn't dare to object because I was afraid, but you didn't have any complaints. You took the initiative to ask Yingying to escort us, obviously you care more about the past hatred than I do... In fact, at that time, brother, you have already taken a different path from me, isn't that right?"

This question had been buried in Yunika's heart for a long time, and now she finally said it.

Wenjiesi was silent for quite a while, but after all, he couldn't lie to his close sister. He nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have done a lot of things... which may be superfluous in your opinion. But, please Believe me, now I will never betray Her Royal Highness."

Eunika asked: "Aren't you going to tell me more details?"

Wen Jiesi's eyebrows were full of apology: "Not yet... When the time is right, I will ask the princess for my sin."

Eunika gave a soft "um" and asked again, "Brother, can I trust you?"

"OK."

Eunika closed her eyes lightly, and said as if praying: "So many stories you and Xiya told me are always full of betrayal and blood. I don't want that kind of story to be repeated on me. I hope People around me can always be trusted... Can I really choose to trust everyone around me?"

Wenjiesi knows that her sister is strong on the outside but fragile on the inside. Those who want to get close to her will often retreat under her cold attitude, but in front of the closest people, she often shows a weak look , this contrasting personality is all caused by the trauma she experienced in her childhood.

Thinking of this, Wenjiesi's hatred for the Holy See and Anluer deepened a bit, and he said solemnly: "Yes, please trust me and everyone."

After hearing the answer that came true, Eunika said "hmm" again.

In this way, the brothers and sisters with unfortunate life experiences digested their emotions in this unique silence.When Eunika finally opened her eyes and resumed her usual indifferent expression, when she was about to ask Wentiers more about the late princess, Sisyana's biological mother, she suddenly felt a wave of extreme indifference. The familiar breath made his heart twitch violently.

She raised her head and saw a strange crimson moon appearing on the sky far to the north.

There was an ominous red glow in the eyes, and Eunika was obviously taken aback for a moment, then she murmured, "Irene, what are you doing..."

Chapter 60 The Imprisoned "Demon God"

"Sister Eunika, are you really leaving?"

On the border of the town, Kitty looked on the verge of weeping, looking at Eunika and Wentes pitifully, showing extreme reluctance.
