Chapter 145: "Catching the Person Red-Handed"
What on earth is this doing?
Although Karl shouted so weakly in his heart, what he said out loud was still “Let’s go find those two kids…”
There was no way. At this point, the situation was no longer under his control alone. Baiyi on the side shrugged his shoulders.
He gave a few instructions to the soldiers around him, and Karl listened. The general idea was to say that although the country kids don't know etiquette, we imperial people still have to be civilized and can't be violent with children. We just need to find the ones and control them first.
Anyway, the two little girls couldn't cause any big trouble, so the soldiers naturally agreed after hearing it. After all, in their opinion, there was no need to use force to arrest the two little girls.
Moreover, it would not sound good to make it known that the regular army of the empire was harassing two children, even if the other party was really colluding with the demons or the accomplices of the rebels.
After all, you still have to have some dignity.
Even though what they were about to do at the moment had nothing to do with the word "face" at all.
At this moment, Ina and Juna were in the open space in the grove, praying silently in front of Levi's statue.
After all, so many things have happened in this town recently, and it is obvious to the naked eye that the world may be in chaos again.
The residents of the town had just enjoyed two days of peace, and now no one wanted to go through the disaster they had experienced before again, so the person who secretly gave away the two girls obviously had the same idea.
No matter what, he had to preserve the hard-earned peaceful days before him, even though he might never have imagined that at this point in time, the world was in chaos and he could no longer ignore it by closing his eyes.
Ina and Juna are just children after all. They don’t understand so many complicated things. They only know that they have encountered this situation and they have no ability to change anything.
The only way I can think of is to pray for the hero in my mind and pray for Jessica who is still alive.
"Master Brave Levi, if you can hear me, could you please protect that sister?"
The people in the town seemed to have forgotten the favor they had received from the brave man. Of course, it is also possible that they were pretending not to remember. After all, only in this way could they avoid being liquidated by the empire. Compared to the dead brave man, their own days and lives were naturally more important.
And what they think in their hearts is... If the brave man were still alive, he would definitely not blame us. He is such a good person, he must want us to live a good life.
I can only say that this is a very ironic idea...
…But the irony is that they were right.
Livi... really wouldn't blame the townspeople for this, and would even think that they did the right thing. As ordinary people, they didn't have the ability to resist the empire, and there was no need for them to risk their lives just to argue about right and wrong.
Just because they "did nothing wrong", that's why they said...
...It's this world that's wrong!
"Hey, why is it so messy?"
The two girls who were praying silently heard a noisy noise and immediately showed a puzzled expression. They were about to see what was going on when suddenly a figure appeared behind them.
“…You two.”
"Ah, big sister?"
Ina and Juna looked back in surprise. It was Jessica who had saved the town before. They didn't expect that she was still here.
And she obviously understood the source of the commotion at the moment. She sighed and extended her hand to the two girls.
"I'm sorry. I have indeed implicated you. However, there is nothing we can do now. We cannot let you fall into the hands of the empire."
"Hey, what's going on?"
Ina and Juna both showed puzzled expressions, while Jessica said apologetically, "Because of me, the Empire seems to think that I have a relationship with you, so they want to capture you and interrogate my whereabouts..."
"what……"
At this moment, the soldiers of the empire have already arrived. If the two girls fall into their hands, Jessica dare not bet whether the empire will be so cruel as to attack the children.
Because, in the minds of the imperial people, they were just "two little kids in a rural border town."
"...I'll take you to a safe place. I'm sorry for getting you involved."
"Hey, but what are mom and dad going to do?"
Ina and Juna didn't seem to feel that they were implicated, but the problem was, if they could leave, what about their parents?
"...After I settle you down, I will go rescue them. Now the first priority is to ensure your safety. Are you...willing to trust your sister?"
The two girls exchanged glances and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, we believe in sister!"
A clear vision, without any haze, and even a sense of awareness and calmness.
It was clearly an unprovoked disaster, but the two children did not seem to feel that they were implicated, nor did they feel that they had done anything wrong.
"Let's go!"
Jessica picked up the two girls, one in each hand, then turned around and disappeared into the woods.
Not long after she left, Carl and the imperial soldiers found the open space.
"Ok?"
The most eye-catching thing in the open space is naturally the blurry sculpture.
Although its appearance is blurry, there are dried wreaths in front of the sculpture, as well as fresh flowers that have just been placed there, proving that it has been worshipped by people.
“…This is…”
The imperial soldiers recognized the statue immediately after a quick look.
"It's the statue of Levi the Anti-God!"
After all, Levi was a household name in the empire at the time, and his statues were also very common. The empire portrayed the brave man as a "hero" and created this "hypocritical hero" through public opinion.
At this moment, he was naturally recognized at a glance.
Then, there are the wreaths and flowers in front of the sculpture.
"Someone is worshipping the traitor. Is it those two kids?!"
Naturally, this matter could not be concealed. After all, it was no secret in the town that Ina and Juna liked Levi. It was just that the adults usually just ignored it and regarded it as the innocent words of children.
But as I said, some things don't weigh as much as they should without being weighed, but once they are weighed...
...even a thousand pounds can’t stop it!
This kind of thing can be big or small. If you don't care about it, just listen to it and forget about it. But at this moment, this matter, combined with the various so-called "clues" obtained before, can be said to be "catching the person red-handed"!
"As expected, they are colluding with the rebels. There is no way to refute this. Where are the people?"
The soldiers looked around and did not see the two children, so they immediately came to a conclusion.
"Did he flee because he found out that his crime was exposed?!"
Chapter 146 Demon King Livi Arrives~
He colluded with the remnants of the traitors, brought disaster upon the demon clan, and now he is fleeing for fear of punishment. You see, this series of statements is so logical and coherent.
In addition, the two children were indeed secretly worshiping Levi's statue, which naturally became more evidence of "catching the criminal red-handed".
Carl, who was standing by, listened with a blank expression on his face. It was such a familiar way of framing others. It seemed that he had used this trick many times in his daily life, so he could do it so smoothly.
What's more, the targets this time are two underage children. The fact that they can use the same trick on two children without batting an eyelid shows that these people are rotten to the core.
Having said that, Carl also felt that he was also a bad person because he didn't even have the ability to stop it.
...So what if he is a bad guy? As long as the Kingdom of Abyss can be saved from this farce, nothing else matters.
The peace of the kingdom is everything...
"Two country brats definitely can't run far. Besides, even if they can run away, can their parents run away?"
As the saying goes, the monk may run away, but the temple cannot. These soldiers obviously know how to take advantage of others' weak points to threaten them, especially in the current situation.
Of course, they also considered that the person had been taken away by Jessica, but that didn't matter anymore.
Because, even if Jessica has taken the two children away, it is impossible for her to leave the children's parents alone. This is like having a hostage in her hands, and there is no need to worry that she will not take the bait.
The key to the success of this strategy is that Jessica must be a good person, someone who is willing to take risks for the lives of others.
This also shows that the person who used this strategy must know in his heart that Jessica is a good person, and it is precisely because she is a good person that he can use such despicable means to coerce her.
This set of coercive means is meaningless to the emperor of the empire because they don't care about the lives of others.
A group of people who know that the other side is the good guy, use their talk of righteousness to force the good guy into a desperate situation. This is what the empire is doing now and has done countless times in the past.
So, this world is really a rotten place.
However, there are people who are dissatisfied with this rotten world and want to make their voice heard and do something to change it.
Although that person failed once, she came back in a new attitude that no one had expected.
Aenekos finally set up the teleportation array, and then triggered it with trepidation.
Although the magic circle was set up by her personally, whether it can be successfully activated determines the previous series of actions and whether the entire plan can be successfully implemented.
Because it is so critical, Aenekos is naturally extremely nervous and worried.
Although her heart was beating faster, she still took two deep breaths to catch her breath, carefully completed the last step of the magic circle, and then injected magic power.
The overall structure of the magic circle is a huge hexagram array. The six vertices of the hexagram are placed with symbols representing the stars. The power of the deflection of the stars is used to shift the space, thereby achieving spatial teleportation.
The moment the magic circle was activated, it was as if all the doors on all sides were closed. All the air currents in the valley disappeared at once, as if an enclosed space was isolated.
Above the magic circle, the light of the first vertex of the hexagram lit up, and the symbol of the "sun" representing the original constellation bloomed.
Immediately afterwards, the light spread to the rest of the magic circle. The surging light was like flowing water, instantly permeating the entire magic circle!
The six vertices lit up one by one, and after a circle, the magical light gathered back to the direction of the "sun"...
This cycle repeated three times. When the circulating magic power returned to the sun for the third time, the hexagram array burst into a radiant light, and a sundial-like outline appeared above the array...
Angle, constellation, time... all the conditions were met, the light in the hexagram array became more and more intense, and with another loud bang, the bursting light was as dazzling as the sun.
The goblin women who were watching the teleportation array were caught off guard by a huge flash of light. At this moment, they all rolled on the ground, screaming and covering their eyes. Aenekos and Mava also turned their heads away subconsciously.
Only the powerful little demon girls closed their eyes at the beginning and were not dodged by this shot.
As the light gradually faded, a petite figure appeared in the hexagram formation.
"Huh, it looks like it was successful. Well, thank you for your hard work, everyone~"
Following the familiar voice, the pretty figure slowly walked out of the hexagram formation. After seeing the other person clearly, Mava and Aenekos immediately rushed over excitedly.
"Mister Livy!"
"Yes, yes, I'm right here~"
Mava rushed over and hugged Livi's waist. Aenekos naturally found his familiar pocket and lay down in it comfortably.
Livi reached out and pressed Mava's head to prevent her from getting her tears and snot all over herself. Although Livi had the passive ability of self-cleaning, even if she rolled in the mud, she would turn around and become clean again, but this did not mean that she had to roll in the mud.
As Livi appeared, a gurgling sound of water came from the hexagram array behind her, and a blue ball that looked like a large water baby "squeezed" out from the array.
As soon as the blue ball left the magic circle, it quickly changed into the appearance of a girl and looked around curiously.
"Hey, this is the main continent. As expected, even the air is much fresher than that damn place in the Demon Realm~"
After all, although Meimei is Abaddon's offspring and has inherited most of Abaddon's memories and powers, she has never been to the main continent in person.
Of course, strictly speaking, Abaddon himself has never been here in person. His original body cannot move at all, and he usually relies on his sub-bodies to share senses.
Following closely behind, of course, were the remaining lesser demons and goblins, as well as the litter of direclaw wolves that were captured and trained as mounts.
Most of the other more capable demons were recruited by Dulahan. Due to the power problem of the teleportation array, there was naturally no way to teleport them over, so they needed to collect a new wave of materials to activate the array.
But no matter what, this time everything else is just extra, the most important thing is naturally Livi herself.
Returning to this familiar land once again, Livi looked around, and her familiar memories quickly revived. She also raised her head with confidence.
"Okay, I'm back. So... let's have a good time!"
