It let out an extremely painful and tragic scream, as if it was being subjected to the most horrific torture. This was indeed the case. Its strength, its soul, and even its memories were all broken apart and absorbed bit by bit by Faro.
In the eyes of passers-by, Faro was just suppressing it, and the demon was screaming continuously.
Gradually, the demon's body became transparent, and every inch of its soul was crushed and drifted away in the wind.
Finally, Faro felt something light beneath his knees and could no longer see the figure of the alien demon.
It is probably dead.
By this time, Faro had also exhausted all his strength. He stood up with his hands on his long sword, breathing heavily and raising his head tiredly.
Around him were citizens who had just escaped, including some nobles.
The little girl who had just been kidnapped by the alien demon has returned to her parents' arms. She is still crying because of the fright.
"It was the Night Hunter. He killed the alien demon! We are saved!"
"Look! Isn't that Night Hunter Master Faro?"
"It's really Master Farlow!"
"He is actually a Night Hunter!"
At this time, a man with luxurious clothes and exquisite appearance walked through the crowd and came towards Faro.
He appears to be the little girl's father.
"Thank you very much for your help, Master Faro. If it weren't for you, my daughter might have met with an accident."
"I am Claudius, a baron of Einburg. You are not only a righteous earl, but also an excellent night hunter."
"On behalf of the Claudius family, I would like to express my utmost gratitude to you. I will definitely visit you with gifts next time."
Faro looked around and saw that the passers-by looked at him with respect and admiration.
At this time, the security team also surrounded and began to evacuate the crowd.
A sheriff came up and gave Farlow the imperial salute.
"My highest respect for your heroic performance in battle, Lord Faro!"
The sheriff's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his eyes were full of respect for Farlow.
"Are you injured? Lady Claire has already asked a white magician to treat you and your fiancée. She asked me to tell you not to worry."
"All personnel who have come into contact with the alien demons have been quarantined by the security team."
"Thank you for your heroic efforts. My Lord, please go and rest and recuperate. Leave the rest of the work to us."
The fight just now caused Faro's adrenaline to surge explosively, paralyzing his pain nerves and reducing his fatigue level.
After the battle, he was in severe pain from his wounds, sore muscles, and weak limbs, coupled with the feeling of exhaustion after the strengthening of Yousui, so that he could not even stand steadily with the long sword.
"I understand. As long as the person is fine, that's fine." Faro put the long knife back into the sheath.
"Sheriff..."
"exist."
"Help me up and take me to see Claire."
"clear."
------
The next morning.
With the newsboy's cries, everyone in the city of Einburg knew about yesterday's explosive news.
Many nobles bought the newspaper as soon as possible.
The cowardly and incompetent Master Faro, who was about to inherit the title of Earl, was actually a night hunter and killed a super scary foreign demon in the street.
There had been rumors circulating among the nobles before about Faro's awakening of extraordinary talents.
Some people say that he is so talented that he can beat his cousin Will so much, and that he has been weak and polite for so many years just because he is keeping a low profile.
The second theory is that he does not have any strong magical talent at all, and what happened in the Einburg Hotel was just a little trick he played.
The front page of the news in the newspaper had a text description and was accompanied by the world-famous painting: "Faro Kneeling to Subdue the Alien Demon". It not only showed the famous scene of the city's hunters bringing the alien demon to justice, but also severely slapped the face of the nobles who supported the second statement.
This painting was drawn by an air mage who was studying painting and was present at the time. The artist claimed that he was amazed at the scene and used air magic to draw it on his own drawing board.
For a time, Walsh, a surname that was not much discussed in the aristocratic circle, became a hot topic during their afternoon tea time.
"You're famous now."
Claire said with a smile as she flipped through the newspaper.
Faro sighed helplessly.
"When Mia was helping me change my clothes, she accidentally lost the neck guard that the Night Hunter used to cover her face, but I always felt that she did it on purpose."
Claire burst out laughing.
"You even lost your hat. You were fighting that alien demon so hard. How could you care about covering your face?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. How is Celia?"
"Oh, she's fine, but the White Mage said she was too weak and the demon had penetrated her soul. She's lucky to still be alive with her mind intact. There's nothing serious going on."
Noticed that Faro's expression changed slightly.
Claire said gently:
"Aren't you going to go see her?"
ps: I feel like there aren't many people watching. I'm a little afraid that no one will join the group if I create one.
Chapter 32: Being gentle to your love rival is being cruel to yourself, Claire!
Farlow spoke up;
"This...I'm afraid it will be too embarrassing."
"Actually, I haven't figured out how to meet her."
The purple-haired boy lowered his head and muttered.
"She was indeed bewitched by the alien demon, and she had no subjective intention to hurt me."
This is what Faro saw from the memories of the alien demon he had absorbed previously.
Celia was indeed not very smart and was fooled by the alien demon's trick.
She really dared to sign such a strange contract. She was not afraid of being deceived and sold out in the end, and then muttered to herself: "What a fool I am."
"but......"
Faro's eyes were calm.
"But she did it, even though she didn't intend to hurt me, it almost resulted in my death."
"And it was because of her that the demons had the opportunity to enter areas with huge traffic such as the North District Commercial Street, which almost caused extremely serious consequences."
"Putting aside what she did to me before, given the severity of this incident, to be honest, she no longer has a place in the aristocratic circle of Einburg."
"The upper-class circles she loved most would never acknowledge her from now on."
"Same for my engagement."
Faro said this lightly.
Claire was obviously a little surprised.
"You want to break off the engagement?"
"Ah."
"Because she didn't like you before, and now she's hurting you?"
Claire asked immediately.
"Not just."
"Think about it yourself, Claire."
Farrow looked at her with a faint smile.
"The nobles here will no longer recognize her. Even if I marry her as usual, she won't be happy here."
"And in the eyes of other nobles, I was treated like this by my fiancée, and I still wanted to marry her. This is an act that humans cannot understand."
"Canceling the engagement with her is the best solution. It's good for her and for me."
Faro smiled bitterly.
He had every right to cancel the engagement, and even the protagonist Feng Aotian could not blame him in the slightest.
It just so happens that Lucarea College is about to start school, so let Celie follow the plot and meet the protagonist Feng Aotian who falls in love with her at first sight.
She will probably forget about him and continue her loving life with the protagonist.
Faro breathed a sigh of relief.
Claire also understood his intention.
"So can you pass on a message for me?"
"Respected Lady Claire?"
Faro said exaggeratedly.
The girl laughed at his amusement.
"How could you say such a thing? You were scared to death when you saw me before."
"I'm scared to death, but I'm not dead yet."
"I almost died yesterday, so I feel a sense of relief after surviving a disaster, and I really don't want to go."
Claire suddenly wanted to play a trick on him.
"Don't want to go? Okay."
"Kiss me and I'll give you a message."
"Hey! That's my fiancée, is it really okay for you to say such NTR lines?"
Claire's laughter was crisp, yet polite and elegant.
Then he stood up and was about to go out.
"Okay, I'll help you pass the message."
"Is there anything else you want to say to her?"
"There's nothing much to say, I wish her a bright future."
"You are so perfunctory, such a cold-blooded young master~"
Farlow knew she was joking and ignored her.
Claire walked out of the mansion, got on a carriage, and set off for the Dark Moon Church.
The people who were contaminated yesterday are temporarily accommodated here and are receiving purification baptism from the clergy.
Claire came to a separate room at the back of the church where Celie lived.
When I pushed the door open, I saw the girl sitting on the bed, staring blankly out the window.
She looked a little haggard.
Her eyes were red from crying again and again and were obviously swollen. God knows how long she cried last night.
She no longer has the aura of a noble lady.
Seeing Claire coming, she looked at her and gave her a friendly but weak smile.
This smile was genuine, but Claire felt that it was like crying.
Celia thought a lot last night.
From her childhood with Faro to the fact that she accidentally harmed Faro in the end, she tried to put herself in the shoes of a bystander and figure out what went wrong.
But only then did she fully realize how stupid and mean her behavior was, and she felt deeply remorseful.
