Is the night devil queen me?

Church of the Holy Light, branch of the Star-Moon Empire.

"You... you... who the hell... what do you want? Money? Do you know who I am? What is this place?"

In the dimly lit room, a chair was placed in the center of the carpet. Sitting on it was a middle-aged man with a slender beard and a large black mole on his forehead.

He was wearing a light gray nightgown, with a tense expression and sweat dripping from his forehead.

There was a dagger gleaming with cold light on his neck, and a masked girl in a maid's attire was holding the dagger.

In front of the middle-aged man stood two other girls in maid outfits with their faces covered.

They all remained silent, despite the middle-aged man's intimidation from the beginning, to the temptation later, and to the pleading at the end, they did not respond at all.

After an unknown amount of time, the middle-aged man felt that he was about to collapse, when a strange sound came and woke him up in a trance.

Because this sound is really creepy, like when some kind of multi-legged insect is crawling, it's just this sound that makes it impossible to imagine how huge it is.

In the darkness, the door of the room opened slowly.

A black centipede with a length of three meters crawled out of it.

"Uh! Ah! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" The middle-aged man yelled in fear, but because of the poison in himself, his body was as if stuck in glue, unable to move, and he could only keep moving. trembling.

"What is this!? What is this!!??"

The giant centipede propped itself up. In the darkness, a small snow-white hand stretched out and stroked it gently. The blood-red pupils were like two lanterns, shining with a strange light.

"!!!!!!" The middle-aged man's reaction became even more violent.

The demon maid standing behind him withdrew her dagger, came to him, clenched her fist and hit his stomach.

"Hmm..." The middle-aged man spat out a mouthful of blood, which spilled on his nightgown, panting heavily, and calmed down temporarily.

"What are you guys trying to do...can you tell me...I'll give...I'll give you everything..." The middle-aged man made a weak voice, "I just ask you to spare my life..."

Chapter 14 Networking

"Hush... be quiet." Lilith also covered her face, and her voice was not her original voice, it was very deep and hoarse, like the crooning of a banshee in a horror story: "Be honest, we won't hurt you."

"I've never met you at all, and I don't remember offending people like you." The middle-aged man panted, his tone weak, and said, "You guys definitely don't want to kill me for staying with me for so long, so can you say Give me what you want...I don't want to be tortured anymore..."

"Maybe we will kill you after we get the information we want?" Lilith stroked the shiny black shell of the blackwater centipede.

"Don't! Don't! Don't! I can help you a lot! My value will exceed your imagination!" The middle-aged man suddenly panicked.

"Just kidding, Lord Cardinal, how can we be willing to kill a person of your status, and we have important things to cooperate with you." There seemed to be a hint of a smile in Lilith's weird voice.

Cardinal?

After hearing this word, the eyeballs of the middle-aged man began to move rapidly from side to side, indicating the intense psychological activities in his heart.

After the Holy Maiden of Light took office, he was afraid that he would not be able to hide his scandal, so he made some disguises so that he could slip away when the Holy Maiden came to him.

He himself has not appeared in the public eye for a long time, and bought the most advanced alchemy materials, changed his appearance, and at the same time moved out of the cardinal's exclusive residence, and found a place to hide in an inconspicuous place in the church .

He didn't dare to run away directly. It proved that he had a ghost in his heart. He knew the strength of the church very well.

So the people who are now wearing the cardinal's clothes and living in the cardinal's residence are his subordinates who have changed their appearance. Before he can completely cover up his scandal, this is just his way of leaving a way out.

"Cardinal? Although I have some status in the church, I am not a cardinal! You have found the wrong person!" The middle-aged man did not admit his identity.

"This is really stupid." Lilith shook her head, "Under the premise of cooperation, you must be honest. You are treating us as fools. At the beginning, you threatened us with arrogance. , Say we know who you are? Since you say you're not a cardinal, it's useless, just be fodder for my lovely pet."

The blackwater centipede slowly approached the middle-aged man with sticky saliva dripping from its huge and terrifying mouth.

"No, no, no! Please forgive me! I was just fascinated by ghosts for a while! I am the cardinal here! The person you are looking for! Don't kill me!" The middle-aged man yelled.

"Wait a minute." Lilith patted the blackwater centipede lightly, making it stop.

"You did a poor job of making a first impression, Lord Cardinal. We not only know your identity, but also the activities you did, such as the slave market." Lilith walked around with her hands behind her back. ,: "There are others, so I won't mention them one by one."

"You... are the Saintess Leia's people?" The middle-aged man's eyes widened.

This actually gave Lilith a good reason.

"That's right, but you are very lucky. Lady Leia has given you a chance that no one else has. You can make up for your mistakes." Lilith walked around behind the middle-aged man and said in a low voice, "The Duke of the Empire who has been working with you , I have done a lot of business with you in private. Collecting his criminal evidence is your first job. We also know that you were caught by the king of the empire. It doesn’t matter. We will help you solve it. If he sends someone I'm looking for you, don't help him with anything, you just need to cooperate with us well, and you can live the rest of your life with peace of mind in the future, and if you're lucky, you may even be appreciated by the Holy Maiden."

Hearing this sentence, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up.

The middle-aged man is not surprised why Saint Leia's subordinates have these subordinates who use evil spells. No one can imagine the darkness in the Church of the Holy Light.

The middle-aged man knew why the Church of the Holy Light interfered in the internal affairs of the empire. The middle-aged man knew that this was not something he should consider. The current ruler is the saint. Her style of doing things is still unknown. Now I guess I can't even protect myself.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you can take the opportunity to gain the appreciation of Saintess Leia, your future will be bright.

The most important thing is that he has no right to choose at all, he only has this one chance.

"I will definitely do my best! I just ask you to say something nice for me in front of the Holy Lady." The middle-aged man seemed to have forgotten the pain and discomfort in his body, and said with a very excited expression.

"Ah, don't worry, but making achievements is more useful than saying good words." Lilith stretched out her hand, and there was a writhing black worm on her palm, and she placed it on the middle-aged man's shoulder.

"This! What is this!?"

"You don't have to worry about what it is, but you should know what it can do." Lilith walked back, "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, it won't affect you in any way, trust this You need to fight for something, Lord Cardinal."

The black worms burrowed into the middle-aged man's skin, but did not leave any wounds, and there was no pain at all.

The blackwater centipede crawled and followed Lilith into the darkness. The three demon maids also retracted their weapons and walked into the darkness.

"Remember, we've been watching you."

The last sound echoed faintly in the room, the middle-aged man's body suddenly regained his freedom, his body trembled, he clutched his stomach and gasped violently, looking around in fear, those women no longer existed in the room,

He scrambled to his own bed, picked up the water on the low cabinet, and drank it suddenly. His whole body collapsed on the ground, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

……

……

the next day.

Even though Lilith didn't sleep much last night, she still got up early in the morning.

Because today, Mrs. Saintess, who is busy with her schedule, wants to find time to come over.

While yawning and biting the bread, Lilith sat on the lawn by the door, basking in the soft sunshine, waiting quietly.

There was no special way for Leia to arrive, she just walked out of the woods directly opposite the villa wearing a cloak very naturally and casually.

After seeing Lilith, she took off the cloak on her body, opened her hands, and rushed over with a smile like a little girl, "Lilith!!!!"

Chapter 15 Polygala

"Oh! Leia!" Seeing the familiar figure, Lilith also stood up and opened her hands to welcome the other person's hug.

"Hahahaha!" Leia picked up Lilith and spun in circles on the spot. After a few seconds, a certain saintess's foot made a clicking sound and sprained her foot. Following this momentum, Lilith Flying directly a few meters away, her face fell down, while Leia fell backwards, and the back of her head fell heavily.

"..." Lilith covered her face.

"..." Leia hugged the back of her head.

The originally cheerful atmosphere cooled down instantly as if a basin of cold water had been poured on it, and both sides remained silent.

Leia stood up slowly and rubbed the back of her head. Lilith also stood up and wiped the dirt on her face.

"Ah, Lilith, how have you been recently?" Leia stretched out her right hand, motioning for a handshake.

"Having a good time, how about you?" Lilith stretched out her hand and held it together.

"good."

Leia and Lilith greeted each other with the simplest and most standard etiquette.

But after this kind of greeting, the two fell into silence again.

"I said, let's forget what happened just now." Lilith spoke first this time.

"It's a good thing I came earlier, otherwise I would be seen by others and lose myself." Leia's eyes slanted to one side, and she scratched her face lightly.

"It's really embarrassing." Lilith walked towards the villa, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet." Leia followed behind Lilith.

"That's right, everything is still warm."

"Yeah~" Leia stretched out two fingers.

At the dining table, Leia was in a turmoil, eating extremely unrestrainedly, just like a starving ghost, without the self-consciousness and accomplishment of being a saint.

Lilith and Qianyue Ying didn't mind, they ate their own, as if they were used to this kind of scene.

The demon maids held milk in their hands and stared blankly at Leia until the food on the table decreased at an exaggerated speed. Then they realized that they put down their cups, stood up, tied their aprons and walked towards the kitchen. .

Lilith looked at the demon maids who were going to prepare the food, and finally complained a little, "I said, the Church of the Holy Light doesn't take care of the food? We will be eaten up by you later."

"Oh, the majestic demon queen, what are you talking about?" Leia's hands didn't stop.

"No, what are you, the Holy Maiden of Light, talking about?" Lilith shook her head.

"Image, do you understand the image? It's too restrictive in that place. I have to pay attention to my image. It's different here. I feel like my own home when I come here. If you let it go, your appetite will grow." Leiya laughed He laughed.

"I hope you can be more reserved." Lilith let out a little breath after eating and drinking, and continued, "I said, do you know what I want to do when I come to this empire?"

"Ah, I know something about it, it's for the purpose of seizing power." Hearing that Lilith was about to talk about business, Leia also slowed down her eating speed a little, and looked at Lilith.

"Let's put it this way, it is said that the demon world is no longer suitable for survival, and the credibility is extremely high. I have to consider a new direction." Lilith said.

"Hmm..." Leia paused, then asked, "Whose information?"

"Mammon's."

"Mammon?"

"Yes." Lilith nodded, "I was in a hurry last time, and I haven't had time to tell you in detail. That guy seems to be controlled by some kind of force. What he is doing now is not his original intention. He has no way to disobey it." , and only in the realm close to the eternal abyss, he has short-term freedom, and the war against the Saint Trans Empire was launched by him in order to create a reasonable opportunity to use this realm."

"Hmph, how capricious." Leia snorted coldly,

"His three views and values ​​cannot be understood with our common sense." Lilith said, "But the good thing is that I got this important information."

"Wouldn't it be, start all over again?" Leia directly said a topic that everyone avoided.

Qian Yueying's expression changed at this moment, turning her head to look at Lilith.

"Yeah." Lilith leaned back in her chair and sighed, "Before, I always aimed to return to the Demon Realm, but now it seems like a joke, but for so long, at least I have known you, and I have experienced so much It can’t be said that nothing has been achieved.”

"It's good if you can think so, I'm still worried about your depression." Leia looked directly at Lilith.

"Where is someone worried about someone else's depression, and specifically mentions the reason for other depression." Lilith chuckled, "It was true that I was depressed for a while at the beginning, but there is still a way to go, and depression is useless."

"This is Lilith." Leia smiled.

"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here today for dinner." Lilith went on to say, "You know the Duke of Donna in this empire, right?"

"It's too much, Lilith, will you call me here if you have something to do?" Leia said in an aggrieved tone.

"Okay, when you're free, you don't have enough food? I'm telling you something serious." Lilith gave her a blank look.

"Okay, okay, I know that Duke, the one who has been courting me a lot lately." Leia waved her hand.

"How much do you know?" Lilith continued to ask.

"I used to do a lot of shady things with the cardinal in the branch, but now he suddenly becomes a decent person and shows his courtesies to me. It is probably because of the embarrassing status of the Star-Moon Empire on the mainland, and he wants to seek power and usurp the throne." Leiya analyzed. is very correct.

"Awesome." Lilith praised.

"It's nothing, it's just that his intentions are too obvious." Leia laughed.

"Then what are you going to do with them?" Lilith asked.

"The duke can keep it for now. After all, we have to look at the attitude of the king of the Xingyue Empire in the future. If not, it is good to use him, and that cardinal." Leia picked up the bread and tore it in two: "My own It's my own business, that guy was mentioned by the old guys in the previous high-level, so he can't stay."

"Keep it for now." Lilith took half of the bread in Leia's hand, took a bite, and said, "I have already controlled him, and I want to use him, and I will help you collect the shady evidence about him and the Duke. How to deal with it at that time is up to you.”

"That's fine." Leia also took a bite of the bread, "You don't plan to attack by force, you plan to outwit it."

"How to attack by force." Lilith was speechless, "It must be outsmarted."

"Gather your previous demon army and attack." Leia said nonchalantly.

"You are stupid, the nature is different, they are all demons, what about your position of the Holy Light Church." Lilith shook her head.

"Then it's true. How can a country of the Demon Race appear as a regular identity in the mainland?"

"Of course, there is a new enemy."
