Kato Megumi wants to learn magic

"Are you injured anywhere? I didn't expect that the city lord would secretly collude with the evil demon and even want to murder you."

Alyssa was a little bit unbelievable, and Kato Hui shook her head slightly.

"Be careful. I'm fine. If I were, I wouldn't be here in front of you. In fact, I had already asked Klina to investigate him. The temple also had some suspicions, but we didn't expect him to act so suddenly. He succeeded before we were prepared."

Kato Megumi said softly.

"But fortunately, my strength is not bad, and I didn't let them succeed. Thanks to the blessing of God."

On the other hand, Krina looked frustrated.

"I didn't expect this to happen. It's really my fault. As your guardian knight, I didn't fulfill my due obligations when you were in danger!"

Kato Megumi looked at Krina who lowered her head and didn't know how to comfort her.

Although Krina was his guardian knight, he never thought of her as such, but instead regarded her as his friend.

Besides, she doesn't need protection from others. If she was weak before, she has now grown into an independent person, so she doesn't need protection anymore.

But Krina has always kept it in mind. No matter what Kato Megumi said, she was persistent and thought that if she didn't protect herself, there would be no point for her to be by her side; therefore, Kato Megumi was also helpless.

She reached out and gently pinched Krina's cheek.

"Okay, okay, don't blame yourself. This accident happened very suddenly. It's not your fault. After all, you and I are two people. You can't always be by my side."

"Besides, instead of being protected by others, it is better to make yourself strong. This way you can better prevent the necessary crises."

Being suddenly pinched on the face by the saint, Klina felt a little embarrassed and blushed at the same time.

"Your Majesty, what you said is indeed true, but protecting you is my due...hiss...duty."

Just when Krina was still stubborn, Kato Megumi slapped her hard on the forehead.

Then he said angrily.

"Why are you so stubborn? I'll be angry if you keep saying that."

Seeing this, Klina suddenly closed her mouth and stopped talking. Okay, okay, the world is so big, and the saint’s emotions are the biggest, so it’s better to apologize.

"I know I was wrong, Your Majesty."

"Well, that's right, dear~"

Seeing this, Kato Megumi smiled again and gently touched Krina's lowered head.

The hair is smooth and silky, and feels very comfortable to the touch.

The touch on her hand made Kato Megumi touch it a few more times, still unsatisfied, until Alyssa, who was standing by, said helplessly as she watched the interaction between the two.

"Mei, don't we need to inform the temple now? Now that something like this has happened."

"Well, now that you reminded me, I remember that I should notify the temple and let them handle this matter."

It stands to reason that being involved with evil spirits is a big deal, and as a clergyman one should treat this with caution and notify the temple immediately. Unfortunately, Kato Megumi is a saint who changed her job halfway through her life and a visitor from another world. She does not have a strong sense of belonging to the temple, so she did not think about these things for a while.

"Clina, go inform Anna, and also inform Alina of the Water Temple. The appearance of the evil demon should be a big deal for them!"

"I understand, Your Majesty. I'll go right away."

Then Klina immediately left the City Lord's Mansion and went to the temple.

Kato Megumi stayed in the banquet hall with Alyssa, chatting with the ignorant nobles around them while waiting for the arrival of the temple people.

After all, the main force of the temple will arrive soon, and as the person in charge, she will have to explain the whole story and take them to the place where the incident happened. She can't just leave the matter to them and rest without any worries!

"Surround them all, and don't let anyone in the City Lord's Mansion escape."

Soon, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the banquet hall. Then, while the nobles were still confused, teams of judgment knights in silver armor rushed in solemnly from outside the hall door, spread out, and surrounded everyone in the hall.

"What do you want to do!"

"We are nobles. Do you know what the consequences are of drawing weapons against a noble?"

"Put your weapons away, you scared me. What do you want to do? This is the city lord's mansion."

"By the way, this seems to be the Knight of Judgment."

"What? Judgment Knight!? What on earth just happened?!"

Facing the nobles' rebukes, the surrounding knights said nothing, their faces solemn.

At this time, Elena also walked in from outside the hall with thunder and lightning.

She looked around the hall and then saw Kato Megumi sitting nearby. She slowly walked over and bowed.

"Your Majesty the Saint..."

"Priest Elena, I didn't expect you to be the one leading the team..."

Kato Megumi stood up and returned the greeting.

"According to the knights around you, this matter is related to the devil, which is naturally very serious for the temple, so I have to come here in person."

"You experienced it yourself. Although your knight has already given a general account, please describe the whole thing in detail so that Elena can sort it out."

However, before Kato Megumi could answer, at this moment, there were faint sounds of scolding and resistance outside the hall. A conflict broke out between the garrison in the city lord's mansion and the trial knights outside.

"what happened!?"

Elena frowned and asked the Knight of Judgment behind her, but before the knight could respond, a team of knights in black armor rushed in from outside, led by a young man with a beard. Although he didn't have thick eyebrows and big eyes, at least his face had a seriousness that was different from others.

"Priest Elena, what is going on? Why did you come to the City Lord's Mansion and bring such a large group of people with you?"

Obviously, the man was the leader of the garrison. When he saw the Knight of Judgment suddenly come to the City Lord's Mansion, he obviously knew what big thing had happened, so he hurried to Elena.

However, at this moment, he still did not forget the person in front of him. He first saluted and then questioned.

Nowadays, divine power is greater than royal power. As the leader of the garrison of the City Lord's Mansion, he knew what to do and what not to do. Even when the Knight of Judgment rushed in, he did not confront him head-on, but decisively stopped the conflict and hurried to inquire about the cause.

After all, the garrison was only the garrison of the City Lord's Mansion, not the City Lord's. He had heard from the Judge before that this time they came to exterminate the evil demons, so as a garrison soldier, he already had an estimate in his mind.

The Knight of Judgment came to the door. Since there was already evidence, as the owner of the City Lord's Mansion, it was reasonable for him to be implicated. It is very likely that after this time, the City Lord's Mansion will have a replacement, and they will not be afraid of being punished at that time.

After all, the garrison is only the garrison of the City Lord's Mansion.

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 226 Chapter The truth does not necessarily need to be made public

Elena looked at the garrison leader who was standing beside her with a respectful yet just-right expression of doubt, raised her eyebrows slightly, and revealed a look of satisfaction.

It has to be said that people like her hate trouble. If someone can read people's eyes and avoid such useless disputes, she will not hate it. It seems that the leader of the garrison is very clear about the current situation. It is better to say that he has guessed part of the situation from the current situation and the few words leaked.

However, no matter what, this did make Elena satisfied a lot. In addition, the other party was half the owner of the City Lord's Mansion. Under such conditions and goodwill, Elena was not stingy with her words.

"The City Lord's Mansion discovered the evil demon, and it intends to harm Her Majesty the Saint, so the Temple took this action. I believe the garrison leader should understand!"

Elena said softly.

"Evil demon!?"

The team leader was a little surprised. He didn't expect it to be true. He couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"Excuse me, Master Priest, how did the temple confirm this? The existence of evil spirits is a big deal. You have to know that this is the City Lord's Mansion. Once this matter gets out, what prestige will the City Lord's Mansion have? The City Lord will surely be dissatisfied."

Hearing the leader say this, Elena smiled.

"I think you don't have to worry about this." She paused, then narrowed her eyes, "Because your city lord is dead."

"what!"

The team leader was stunned by the information Elena uttered. The city lord was fine just now, how could he die? Could he have been killed by an evil demon...

His thoughts were easily seen through by Elena, who sneered at this.

"Your Lord City Lord colluded with the evil demons and intended to harm Her Majesty the Saint, so he was killed on the spot by the great Saint."

"This! How could it be..."

"Why not? Do you dare to guarantee it? You have to know that this is what His Majesty said personally. Do you suspect that His Majesty is just talking nonsense?"

"No, how could that be? I just find it hard to believe."

How dare he bear this crime? It’s not that he doubts Your Majesty, he just finds it a little unbelievable.

Seeing that the leader had nothing to say, Elena looked at him with satisfaction, then turned to Kato Megumi.

"Let Your Majesty explain the details! After all, I just arrived and I don't know much about the cause and process of the incident."

After Elena said this, Kato Megumi naturally told her everything that had happened before.

Of course, she did not explain the specific details in detail. She just roughly explained that she was framed by the city lord and taken to a remote place, trapped in a place. After she spent some effort to break out, she found that the city lord had been killed by the evil demon she had colluded with. She took some measures to finally kill the evil demon.

Kato Megumi explained all of this slowly and calmly. She said everything that should be said, and naturally did not say what should not be said directly, but skipped over it.

Elena on the side listened carefully, with a gleam in her eyes from time to time, while the leader on the other side had a sad face, and was even more surprised when he heard that the evil demon was Luther who was beside the City Lord's Mansion.

"Luther, how could it be possible? How could he be a demon?!"

You know, he and I are good friends, so this shouldn't be the case.

In response, Kato Megumi smiled slightly.

"I saw this with my own eyes. That kind of evil demon is a being that can control others and use them as puppets. If necessary, it can also control the body on behalf of the owner."

Hearing this, Elena's face changed.

"This description... could it be a soul demon?"

Elena hesitated.

"If it is a soul demon, then it is indeed impossible to defend against it. Maybe the city lord and his subordinates were accidentally invaded by the soul demon and then became part of the evil demon."

Kato Megumi did not deny Elena's conclusion.

After all, it is not something worth telling if this matter gets out. The two statements, that the City Lord and his subordinates are actually demons in disguise, are more likely to cause public panic than the latter, and greatly reduce the public's trust in the City Lord's Mansion.

If the City Lord's Mansion was still controlled by Wall, it would be a good thing for the Temple; but now that Wall is dead, the Temple has the obligation to temporarily appoint a new candidate for the City Lord, and this candidate will undoubtedly be the future City Lord of Luoha City, the future person in power, and also the best partner of the Temple.

Therefore, it is best to avoid affecting its prestige as much as possible. I believe Elena also thinks so, so Elena announced the result at the first time, which also means that it will be made public in the future.

The leader of the garrison on the other side was so shocked by the two sudden pieces of news that he was unable to react for a while, so he did not deny Elena's conclusion.

Afterwards, he came to his senses and understood what Elena meant, so he agreed.

Sometimes it is not necessary to present the truth to the public; appropriate tampering is necessary.

only……

The garrison leader looked deeply at the saint beside him.

He had also heard of the Soul Demon, which was one of the most powerful evil demons in the legend. Because of its powerful strength and unexpected parasitic control behavior, even the former temple was terrified of demons. But this saint had actually killed it, and now she looked in good spirits and seemed to be able to handle it with ease.

The team leader couldn't help but sigh in admiration at this. It seemed like this was another new "Sword Saint".

Elena and Kato Megumi were both aware of the leader's gaze. Kato Megumi didn't understand what the other party was thinking and thought that the other party just didn't react, but Elena understood a little.

Although this matter seemed surprising to her, it was actually reasonable when she thought about it carefully. After all, it seemed natural that the Soul Demon was defeated by His Majesty's various mysterious methods and ideas.

"Well... I understand what Your Majesty said. Although the Soul Demon was killed by you, it is not ruled out that there are still some people from the City Lord's Mansion who have escaped. Just in case, we should conduct a thorough investigation. Your Majesty has no objection to this, right?"

"Well, Priest Elena, what you said can also make everyone feel at ease. Then let's do as you say!"

Following Kato Megumi's nod, Elena quickly called the Judgment Knights behind her and asked them to take out a test crystal.

Elena waved her hand and asked them to leave. She picked up the crystal and explained to Kato Megumi.

"This is a test crystal enshrined in the temple. It can determine whether a person has the aura of a demon. It can be used to test this group of nobles and servants."

Kato Megumi took a look and thought that this was a crystal similar to the one used to test aptitude, except that this one was used to detect the aura of demons.

But why is it always crystal?

Original Goblin Slayer: Chapter 227 Chapter I, Kato Megumi, practice both god and devil!

Elena picked up the crystal ball and came in front of the nobles. She looked at their dissatisfied expressions and then said.

"This incident has caused inconvenience to everyone. The temple is very sorry for this."
