Secretary of the Devil's Castle

Then add a circle of priests around to provide magic.

Ever since, they ran over through a summoning circle that cut corners to the extreme.

As a result, it's perfect.

(There is only one update today, the owed update will be made up tomorrow)

(Because I forgot that I still have homework￥%...&*()

(Then I would like to mention a little bit about the soul defense of Mother Abyss in the plot of Viscount Sharp. In the beginning, the mage Ain’s consciousness-destroying magic is equivalent to rushing over to give you a slap. Abyss must be going back to the past Slap, but Viscount Sharp’s thought control is actually equivalent to adding some viruses to Fatalia’s soul. The doctor can’t slap you when you have a fever, right? Do you think so?)

(Then there is also the issue of the idealism of the Holy Light. This is a big chapter, and of course it cannot be spoiled.)

Chapter 5 The Virgin Marianne

"Welcome to the City of Light, Her Royal Highness Princess Fatalia Cairns, and the two ladies here."

Just as Patty was struggling with Fatalia's whimsy, a middle-aged man who appeared to be about 50 or [-] years old stood up from the circle of priests around him, bowing slightly, with a gentle smile on his face Greeted the three of them, "I am Bart Keen, who is here to receive you, and I am a cardinal."

Seeing this, Fatalia stopped paying attention to Patty, and she took a step forward and nodded to Bart, "Hello, Bishop Bart, we are here as promised. I am very glad that your country can abide by the agreement and use the regulations as promised. The material and frequency can be used to describe the magic circle, otherwise the non-directional demon summoning ceremony does not know who it will be connected to."

Hearing this, Bishop Bart smiled wryly and shook his head, "Thanks to Her Royal Highness for sending such a detailed explanation, but people here don't have similar...experience in summoning demons, I hope Your Highness can have less ideas like this. .”

"Well, probably there will be no chance in the future."

Fatalia nodded, then took a step forward with the brown suitcase in her hand and said, "Then Bishop Bart, if there is no other arrangement in the future, please take us to report to St. Reddy's College. If there is an arrangement, then Please do it as soon as possible, if it is a welcome ceremony or something, then cancel it, I am here to study, not a formal diplomatic activity."

"Oh……"

Bishop Bart was taken aback when he heard the words. All the long welcome speeches he had prepared before were useless, and some welcome ceremonies he prepared later were all declared invalid. He could only cough in embarrassment, and said sideways: "Well, I Understood, Your Royal Highness, this way please, St. Radis Academy is not far from here."

In fact, what Bishop Bart said was still conservative. St. Redis College is not far from here. In fact, this first school is just opposite the church. Not the priests of the church, but three young girls who came all the way from the Cairns Empire.

The one in the lead is Fatalia, with short curly white hair shimmering in the sunlight, her blood-red eyes hidden behind red-rimmed glasses, but her perfect figure is covered by a large black suit. The robe is completely covered up - I have to mention that the school uniform design of Saint Radis College is really excellent, it is so good that it can completely destroy the original beauty of the material, such a robe is worn on the body, it looks like it is from the outside A black cloth cylinder is used to wrap the person inside, not to mention the shape, you can guarantee that no one can see if you put a meteor hammer inside the robe, and the only thing exposed from the robe is the head and feet, even the hands They are all hidden under the wide sleeves, and it is guaranteed to be the villain's standard attire in another place, as long as the conspicuous logo on it is deducted.

Favna and Patty on the side are also dressed in the same way, but it is worth mentioning that Patty's appearance has not changed much from a few years ago. Perhaps it is her blood lineage from her father that made her grow up even better. Slow down, except for the fact that she has tied her black hair into two ponytails, which makes her look a lot more refreshed than when Fatalia first met her.

In fact, this change of image was proposed by Viscount Sharp himself. After not seeing each other for a long time, he felt that his daughter's personality was still a bit too soft. The impression is not bad.

After all, he is still stuck in the academic academy to do research. It would be bad if his daughter was bullied because of his personality.

And the one in front of the three of them, exactly across the street, was the gate of St. Radius College.

It was indeed a splendid and imposing gate.

The surrounding wall is made of white stone and is about ten meters high. The energy of the holy light flows on the wall, and the patterns are outlined by golden paint, depicting murals one after another. The protagonist of those murals is only an old man in a long robe. These murals tell the story of his journey to the mainland to discover the truth step by step, and finally founded St. Radius College, and the flashing magic circle in these paintings is enough to prove that this wall is not as innocuous as it seems on the surface. Harmful, no one is willing to try what kind of energy it contains. After all, this is the City of Holy Light, the capital of the Holy Light Theocracy, and the headquarters of the Holy Light Church. Suicide is synonymous.

And in the middle of the wall is an arched gate, which looks to be 50 meters wide and twice as high as the wall next to it. It is engraved with dense patterns, which makes people feel dazzled at first glance. What is surprising is that the gate has only one frame, but the gate itself cannot be seen. It must be hidden by some kind of magical effect.

And behind the gate stands a statue about 15 meters high. The statue seems to be made of stone. The most common stone carved out the image of an old man. His clothes are somewhat similar to those of St. Reddy's College. The school uniform, but it is not colored and is a bit worn out. He has a cane in his right hand, a large book in his left hand, and a large package on his back. It was very heavy, and it bent the old man down, making him hunched over, but he still raised his head and looked into the distance. His eyes are the only place that is not a stone, they are a pair of eyes carved out of blue crystal. , flashing with magical energy, making him look extremely wise.

This statue is engraved with St. Ladis, who is honored as a pioneer, a mentor, and an ordinary sage. He was a great figure who led the human race to open up the future in the dark age 5000 years ago. Sorting out his legacy, he established the 4000-year-old St. Redis College to spread his thoughts to future generations. It is precisely because of his thoughts that St. Redy's College does not care about race and identity. Treat everyone who comes to study equally—but let’s say this is an academy opened by humans, there will still be some deviations in actual implementation, just like Fatalia, the first demon student since the school’s establishment .

And under the statue, in front of the gate, there is a lot of traffic.

The City of Holy Light itself, as the capital of the Holy Light Theocracy, has a lot of traffic, and the traffic at the gate of St. Redis College, which is just in the beginning of the school season, is even greater. Many carriages stop here, and they come all the way from the mainland Students from all over the world——As the number one university in the mainland, Saint Ladis College is not exclusive to the Holy Light Theocracy, which also violates the school motto.These students held their heads high and strode forward, with hope for the future in their eyes, they walked into the gate of St. Radius College vigorously, and between them, a girl stood at the gate and looked out Extraordinary attention.

It was an extremely beautiful girl, with wavy shoulder-length pale blond hair shimmering, a pair of beautiful eyes as clear and blue as the sky, and a beautiful appearance, almost comparable to Fatalia, but compared to Fatalia She is more of a pure and holy feeling, which makes people feel awe-inspiring and inviolable. She is wearing a white robe, which is similar in style to the school uniform on Fatalia, but it is more self-cultivating, although It's still very loose, but it's much better than the one on Fatalia. 【%

The girl was looking at the passing carriages, not knowing what she was looking for. Not long after, she noticed Fatalia standing across the road from the gap in the carriages, and immediately put on a bright smile on her face. He waved his hands to signal Fatalia to look over, and then he couldn't wait for them to cross the road, and trotted all the way around the traffic along the way, jumping and rushing to the front of the three of them.

Seeing this, Fatalia's eyelids twitched, and she said calmly, "You are still the same, Marianne."

At this time, the saint Marianne Agnes, who has become a slim and tall girl, has a much more stable personality than when she was a child, but compared with other girls, her vitality is still too strong. Fata Leah has been extremely confirmed in the few times when she directly communicated with the Holy Light Theocracy.

"Aren't you the same!"

Marianne wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, and then smiled again: "Long time no see, Fatalia! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

It has been more than two years since Fatalia and Marian last met. I remember that because of an important diplomatic event, Fatalia came to the Kingdom of Holy Light in person. It was the only time they met directly other than signing a trade agreement with the Reinhardt Empire. The rest of the time they usually communicated through letters and communication magic.

As for why the relationship between the two of them is so good with only such a small communication channel... It's purely because Marianne is so good at chatting. The first time she received a reply from Marianne, it was often not an envelope but a package, and when chatting through communication spells, she would definitely talk endlessly about the failure of the spell.

But Fatalia doesn't hate chatting with Marianne. Although the saint is very talkative, she is not actually annoying. Perhaps it should be said that she is actually very difficult to be annoying because of her personality. Bar……

Marian also greeted Patty and Favna with a nod and a smile, then turned around and waved boldly, "Okay! Let's go! I'll take you to the dormitory by the way. I'm familiar with Saint Ladis College. Very good!"

"I'm afraid I didn't come here often to make trouble before I figured out the terrain."

Fatalia couldn't help but followed, and Marian froze immediately, then coughed violently, and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Fatalia, don't tell the truth when you see it, it's always so straightforward but no girl Kids love it."

"Let's not mention why I must attract girls."

Fatalia took a few quick steps and overtook Marian who was leading the way. "My popularity is quite high in the country. I don't know how many people want to send their daughters to my bed to reach the sky."

"Tsk, as expected of a succubus, the charm ability is simply too foul."

"As a saint, you won't be less popular than me, right? The daughter of the God of Holy Light, this name is much louder than me. By the way, I am not good at charm and have not specially trained it. This one It's just the application of instinct."

"...Wow! Is it true? Didn't it mean that the housekeeping skill of the succubus is charm? You...then what did you learn?"

"Government, magic, and martial arts are all things a princess should learn—not all succubi like to charm others. As far as I know, there are actually quite a few succubi who don't like to rely on their charm ability in the Cairns Empire. , although it is incomparable with the total number..."

Fatalia and Marianne walked and chatted all the way. It didn't look like a netizen rushing at all. Patti and Favna looked at each other and quickly followed, while Favna looked at the sight in her hand. Looking at the suitcase in Fatalia's hand, I didn't know what to think, and quickly stepped forward and grabbed Fatalia's right hand that was holding the suitcase, "Master, let me carry it for you .”

Fatalia was taken aback by Favna's sudden hold of her hand. She raised her head to look at Favna's cold and inorganic cheeks, then shook her head and said, "No need, Favna, if I don't like carrying the suitcase You don’t need to ask about the trouble, I’ve already dealt with it before that. Well... I just plan to experience the feeling of traveling thousands of miles with a suitcase to study, although most of the process has been omitted, but At least in the last few steps, I plan to feel it, as... a sense of ritual. Life always needs a sense of ritual."

When Favna heard this, she withdrew her hand somewhat disappointed, and turned to hold her suitcase in both hands, and followed behind Fatalia without saying a word.

And Marianne watched Fatalia getting along with each other nervously, and didn't know what to say for a while, but soon she found a new topic: "Speaking of which... you are not sitting in a carriage. Did you come? Why did you come out of St. Ladis Cathedral?"

"that."

Fatalia [%

"A demon summoning circle?"

Marianne's eyes widened suddenly, and she frowned and thought hard for a while. Those kind and amiable elders she was familiar with were in a dark and small room—perhaps an unknown basement—with a sly smile and a depiction of blood and bones. , and then chanted profane words to summon the appearance of demons...

Well, this style of painting is really wrong.

So Marianne gave up thinking.

Chapter 6 Inside the Academy

St. Radius College is very big, it should be said that it is very big, it can almost be called a small city, and there is no lack of buildings in the general city, such as residences, teaching buildings, playgrounds, grasslands, forests, and even a piece of land. It is not an exaggeration to say that the lake and the corresponding river system are a city within a city. In other words, it can be called a city in some countries with its land area, one-third of the city of the Holy Light. All of them are used to accommodate it-of course, it is not impossible to say that the City of Holy Light has been expanded by half in order to build Saint Radius College.

Even after entering the gate of St. Radius College, you need to change to other means of transportation to get to the place you want more conveniently, so the group of people got into a carriage.

"It's amazing."

Fatalia looked out through the window of the car. The scenery along the way was like an urban area, with pedestrians, hawkers, and shops. She couldn't tell whether she was in the college or in the urban area. up.

"right?"

Marianne looked smug, she put her hips on her hips and slightly raised her face and said, "Saint Ladis College covers an area of ​​thousands of square kilometers, that's why the college is so lively. In fact, only students and teachers are counted. St. Redis College only has 5 people. Even if you exclude the surrounding forests, grasslands, rivers, lakes, playgrounds, and even some too many teaching buildings, the remaining area of ​​St. Redy's College campus is very huge. It can only be said that it was built at that time. The person in charge of the planning didn’t think about it when we were in school. The site we drew was too big, and we couldn’t digest the rest of it, and it wasn’t good to leave it idle, so we had to let the citizens live in it—that’s pretty cool. Well, at least we don’t need to travel such a long way to buy things off campus when we buy things.”

After listening to Marianne's introduction, Fatalia touched her chin thoughtfully. Although she had also read the relevant materials of St. Radius College in the Demon King City, the words bound on the page did not exist after all. It feels real to see it.

In fact, it is a super university city with a savage growth version and complete metamorphosis.

Fatalia drew conclusions about St. Redis Academy in this way.

Despite its long history, this city is still young. After all, although most of the people living in the city are other residents, this city within a city is still built for students. These young students ignite the city with their youth and enthusiasm. , making her alive.

Squeak-!

The carriage stopped, and Marianne took the lead and jumped out of the carriage, then bowed quite gentlemanly, and stretched out her hand to signal the people in the carriage to help her get off the carriage, "Beautiful ladies, we have arrived at our destination, please get off Carriage."

"Where are you a knight from?"

Fatalia couldn't help making a joke, but she still cooperated with Marianne to help her get out of the car, and Marianne's smile was still very bright, "Hey, as a saint of the Holy Light Church, I can be a nun or a nun." Paladins, paladins are knights too!"

After helping Fatalia get out of the carriage, Marian turned around and helped Favna and Patty get out of the carriage. Favna did not accept Marian's kindness, but jumped out of the carriage by herself, while Patty was a little displeased. She held Marianne's hand with embarrassment, and it was the first time for her to have such close contact with a stranger she had just met.

Marianne didn't take Favna's refusal too seriously. After she happily helped Patty get out of the car, she signaled to the driver that she could leave. He opened his hands and introduced loudly: "Perhaps now is the right time to welcome you. Welcome to the real core area of ​​Saint Radius College, the teaching area——"

She dragged out an exaggerated long tone, and behind her was a majestic building complex.

White walls, blue roofs, towering spiers and castles are mixed together, faint blue magic energy crystals are suspended everywhere, and there are suspended roads between buildings, which makes it look a bit like The spider web is also like a huge ant nest exposed on the ground. A large number of spiers, castles, crystals and roads constitute the continuous building complex in front of it. The wonderful shape does not make it look ugly, but adds a bit of mystery. The magic power flows naturally in the building, just looking at it has a sense of dazzling. Fatalia did not find a similar building on the earth after thinking about it. After all, it is enough to connect the roads between different spiers and castles that completely ignore gravity. The architecture of the crushed earth.

It is definitely an illegal building that does not conform to the urban planning in other places, but here, in St. Radius College, that weird building has stood for thousands of years, maintained by holy light and magic.

It was a different kind of shock from the Demon King's Castle that hollowed out the mountain, and it was another path of wisdom.

Many young faces shuttled here, and after Marianne finished her introduction, she held Fatalia and Patty's hands while smiling, and strode into the teaching area, "Let's go—Favna must follow closely. 【#

Favna was still silently following behind the three of them. Fatalia turned her head and looked at her, sighed indistinctly, and then a ruby ​​necklace shimmered from the neckline. Then Fatalia raised her right hand, and the suitcase in her hand was sucked into the necklace immediately, and then she stretched out her free hand towards Favna, "Hold it, don't fall behind."

Favna stared at Fatalia's outstretched right hand for a moment, then held it tightly, "...Yes, master."

"Teacher—I brought someone to register—"

The teacher who was in charge of registering the new students' information was dozing off with her forehead on her forehead. The sudden sound made her startled, and she quickly raised her head to look at the source of the sound. It was Marian who rushed over with the three of them in a row, Lady Saint? Why... ah, you want to bring someone to register?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Marianne nodded her head, then took a step back, pushing the others in front of her, "It's them!"

"Okay, I understand, my lord."

The teacher squeezed the space between his eyebrows, then took a quill beside him and dipped it in ink, then raised his head and looked at the leader, Fatalia, "Okay, miss, may I ask your name, age, nationality... race? "

He was speechless, and the teacher stared at the horns protruding from Fatalia's hair for a while, and asked tentatively, "Beastmen? Sheep?"

"No, it's the demon family, the high-level succubus."

Fatalia said flatly, "My name is Fatalia Cairns, my age is from the Cairns Empire."

"Pfft!"

The teacher couldn't sit still and sat on the ground, "Huh? The princess of the Cairns Empire?"

"As far as I know, there is only one Cairns Empire in the world, and the father and king only have me and one daughter, so what you said, teacher, is not wrong."

Fatalia nodded, but the teacher looked at Marian in a daze, "My lord, don't bring such a big person to me! I'm in charge of receiving ordinary people! Someone like Her Majesty the Princess Accepted!"

Hearing this, Fatalia turned her head to look at Marian. Although she didn't speak, her eyes revealed the meaning of "what are you doing?" Marian scratched her head as if she didn't understand. , "Hey? Is that so?"

Fatalia: ...

Well, it seems that this saint is not very smart.

All in all, in the end, the group of them successfully completed the registration and officially registered as students of St. Radius College.

"Okay, since the registration is over, let's go to the dormitory next!"

Just after she came out of the office, Marianne excitedly raised her right hand. Seeing this, Fatalia could only sigh helplessly: "Yes, but I hope you won't make any more trouble."

Hearing this, apart from Favna, who was all focused on Fatalia, Patti also nodded in agreement. The smile on Marianne's face froze immediately, and then she pointed her fingers in embarrassment. Then he touched the back of his head and said, "No, it's just leading the way! I still won't take the wrong way."

"hope so."

Facts have proved that Marianne is not completely unreliable. She brought the three of Fatalia to the dormitory building for freshmen very smoothly—although Fatalia thinks it is more appropriate to call it a dormitory complex.

It is a large two-story single-family building. Although the house does not look small, it has all internal organs. The living room, kitchen, and lounge on the first floor, the bathroom, bedroom, and study on the second floor, there are quite a few rooms that should be there. There are four bedrooms. It is obvious that the school intends to allow four people to live in one building.

Marian quickly took Fatalia and the others to find the house where they lived. Among them, Fatalia, Favna, and Patty lived together, but Marian lived in another house inside.

"However, I'm the only person you're familiar with in this room. It's the first time you've met Favna and Patty, and you've almost always contacted me through letters."

Fatalia opened the door, and Patty and Favna walked in first to clean up the house, while Fatalia stood at the door and chatted with Marian, "You don't have any other friends who want to live with her ?"

"puff--"

Marian's puffed cheeks leaked directly, and she sighed and said: "No, Fatalia, you know that I am a saint, a saint of the Church of the Holy Light! How can there be so many friends? Even if I don't care about the difference in identity, the church doesn't value this aspect, and other people won't turn a blind eye to my identity. The first thing they will see is the saint of the Holy Light Church, and then Marian Agnes, how many friends can I have in this situation!"

"so."

Fatalia thought for a while, and found that she was not qualified to talk about her. After all, Patty was the only one who could talk to her and be regarded as a friend. Favna was a special case, so naturally it couldn't be counted in So she put her hands on her chest, leaned against the door frame, and sighed slightly, "Then probably, I'm about the same."

Marianne blinked her eyes, seeing that the atmosphere was a bit low, she quickly said: "But in fact, there is no need to care so much, friends are good or not, it is very lucky to have so many close friends! There is no need to be with Everyone gets along very well, um... Fatalia, do you think we are good friends now?"

Fatalia was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously scratched her cheek with her fingertips, "Probably, at least now I don't hate you."

Immediately, Marianne became brighter visible to the naked eye.

At this time, Favna's figure also came down from upstairs, "Master, the room is very clean. It seems that there is a special person to clean it. You just need to pack your things and you can move in directly."
