The demon princess was defeated and captured? Sorry, I acted in it)

Since the old man was so fully armed, Xue Feiya couldn't help but fight back.

The six black feathers slowly spread out to both sides.

The waves of magic brought about a rustling sound in the wind, which blew through the distant woods, and the flowers and plants on the ground all crawled down, as if they were afraid of the extremely oppressive magic.

Xia always walked in front of Xuefei. She squinted her eyes vigilantly to observe behind the Pope, but she could not see the "unknown existence" that Xuefei mentioned.

Seeing that the other party was quite ready to confront him, Gustana remained calm and just sat on the stone without moving.

With his hands flat on his legs covered by the gilded religious robe, his old eyes contained a kind of wisdom and clarity that could see through everything.

"My two friends, I have no hostility in coming here today. First, with your strength, you are fully capable of investigating. There are no other believers of the Church nearby except me. Second, I invited you two to come here to tell you a secret to show my sincerity in peace talks."

He finished saying this, but did not get a response as quickly as he expected.

After a while, Xuefia's light and pleasant voice slowly sounded, forming a sharp contrast with Gustana's old voice.

"Oh? But I don't see the sincerity of what His Holiness said?"

Just when the Pope was frivolous and confused.

The six-winged princess suddenly stretched out her hand and raised two fingers in return, as if responding to the two "sincerities" he had just proposed.

"First, there are no other believers of the Church here except you. So what you mean is that the guy behind you is not a member of the Church? Second, you said you have a 'secret' to tell us, but I have probably guessed what you are going to say. Since it has been guessed, it is not a 'secret' anymore."

Hearing this, the Pope was not surprised at all.

Instead, he admired it and nodded in approval.

"Oh... As expected, Princess Xuefeiya can see the 'miracle', you are not an ordinary person..."

"Thank you for the compliment." Xue Fei smiled and nodded, but she didn't show any gratitude. "But Your Holiness, instead of praising me for not being a human being, why don't you show your sincerity first and tell me what the 'secret' you are referring to is?"

"Uh... I said you are not an ordinary person, not that you are not a human... Well, since you have already guessed it, why bother asking again?"

"What I say and what you say are two different things. If you don't say it, your so-called sincerity

, it has no persuasive power, and I don’t have the patience to continue to discuss meaningless conversations here.”

"What a clever little girl... Well, well, well, no wonder the demon clan is so prosperous..."

The dull-headed Xia could only listen to the meaningless conversation between the two people.

She didn't seem to have a chance to get involved in the conversation!

Damn, their IQ is too high and my reaction time is not fast enough.

But even Xia could hear that in this brief exchange of words, Xue Fei was clearly in the upper hand.

Originally, the younger party should be humble when talking to the elders, but since they each represent their own country, there is no distinction between high and low.

Xuefei even asked the Pope to repeat what he had already guessed, as if he was trying to occupy a higher position in the conversation.

Actually not.

Xue Feiya asked him to speak mainly because she was afraid that what she guessed was not what the Pope wanted to say.

I've said all these cool words. If I guess wrong, I'll be so embarrassed!

The Pope doesn't think so.

The elderly man slowly stood up from the stone, with a solemn look between his brows.

"According to the reports from our church's spies, some members of the church who are extremely hostile to the Kingdom of Orus have placed [Explosion Magic] in the waiting room of the arena that can be activated at any time. They intend to use the magic to launch an attack at any opportunity, making it look like the magic of the contestants accidentally spread to the waiting room during the competition, and then assassinate important people in the waiting room."

"The important person in the waiting room...?"

Xia frowned and thought, and soon remembered the figure waiting patiently in the waiting room.

Princess Livra?!

You actually thought of using such a despicable assassination method? !

The powerful magic power formed a circulation and hit the ground where the Pope was standing. Even the solid rock behind him began to crack. However, the Pope seemed to be protected by something. Not only did he not retreat after being injured, but even his robe did not sway in the wind.

Xuefei's nimble wings flapped and lightly touched Xia's shoulder.

Xia took back the magical pressure.

Phew...don't worry.

If you think carefully about what the Pope said, what he said means that this matter has not really been implemented.

The Pope bowed slightly at an angle, as if apologizing for those "extremists in the Church" he called them.

"This matter is really beyond my control. The Correa Theocracy is such a huge country... I can't manage everyone's thoughts. But please rest assured, as soon as I received the news, I had already arranged people to capture these extremists in advance and also lifted the explosion magic in the waiting room in time. Her Highness the Third Princess of Orus is very safe, and this is all I can do. Oh... But Princess Xuefia seems to have guessed it? It really surprises me... Even I just learned about it and took action."

It is hard to say whether the Pope was genuinely surprised.

Anyway, Xia is not very reassured now.

She even suspected that the Pope called her and Xue Fei over to divert the attention of the enemy, and that his real goal was to assassinate Princess Livra?

After all, Xia is a member of the Light family, the kingdom's national sword, and protecting the royal family is her duty.

Not to mention that Princess Livra has worked so hard, and hard work pays off. Xia doesn't think she should encounter any danger in her own country's territory.

Of course, Xuefei also expected what Xiaya was worried about.

Livra's recent activities pose a threat to the Theocracy, and capable people are easily targeted.

But she was prepared.

The light and ethereal thought transmission flowed into Xia's mind, like a stream of frosty spring water, extinguishing the worries in Xia's heart.

[Don't worry, before the last round, I left a black feather for that idiot Livra. That feather contains the highest level of protective magic. It will be activated naturally when she is attacked, and I will know immediately. For now, the old man is not lying.]

[Huh... I was just about to say that the Pope is simply a cunning old fox, but Xuefei, you are as smart as a little fox. ]

【Who are you talking about, fox? ! 】

What about the Pope?

Xuefei did not fold her six wings because of the Pope's words.

Instead, he spread his hands to express his disdain for the Pope's statement.

"Who knows? I have no reason to believe your words. I don't know if the explosion magic you mentioned is a drama directed and performed by you. But I think... Your Holiness, why don't you be frank and tell us why you called us here? Like I said just now, I am not very patient."

"Of course, the situation is slightly different from what I expected. I originally only invited Princess Xuefia to come, but I didn't expect the hero to come as well. It's okay. But the daughter of the Demon King and the hero can become friends... This is really unprecedented..."

"Let's not talk about useless things for now. From what you said, you want to talk about the war? While all the people with a say in our three countries are present, let's have a peace talk about non-aggression in the future?"

"No."

Without war, there can be no peace.

"Scheffy!"

Xia urgently deployed a defensive barrier, all of which was used to cover Xuefei - because even she saw that the faint golden light behind the Pope suddenly appeared, and the concentration of magic power it emitted was rising steadily!

Xuefei also cast a defensive magic on Xia.

But she wasn't nervous at all.

As she expected.

As the golden ball of light rose, its magic power suddenly stopped when it reached a level that was not too high.

But right above the Pope, the originally shapeless ball of light had condensed into a "human outline".

Just an outline.

After all...it's impossible to tell what the human figure looks like.

All I could see was her fluttering dress emitting a golden glow and her long hair flowing in the wind. Because she was so high up, I couldn't even judge her height or see what she looked like.

Specifically, it is like a golden statue made of gold.

All you can see is the head of the golden statue looking left and right from time to time, which makes the scene seem quite weird.

The light emitted by the human-shaped light ball was still expanding outward, and it soon enveloped the surrounding area, covering the Pope and Xue Feixia, as if it was a closed domain.

I could no longer see the trees, the mountains, the flowing water, the starry sky, the sun and the moon. All around me, as far as the eye could see, was only the space where golden meteors kept surging.

However, such a wonderful scene only earned Xuefei a four-word evaluation with her arms folded in front of her flat chest and a smacking of her lips.

"Mystifying..."

"Xuefei, do you want to break this place up?"

"No, it's not aggressive. I guess it's the only way for it to speak. Just wait."

What happened next was even more unexpected.

The supreme pope in the theocracy actually knelt on one knee in front of the ethereal figure in the air.

His eyes were full of longing and piety, as if he would burst into tears in the next second.

He held the half-crescent pendant hanging in front of him tightly in his hand. It was already very difficult for his old body to half-kneel.

"Ah... After all these years... This is the first time I see your true form... Great Lord Amelus, please bring the gospel to mankind... and engrave peace forever!"

ha...?

You call that revealing one's true self?

No matter how you look at Xue Feiya, she looks like a golden statue!

What a fancy way of saying it, yet she still doesn't say anything. Now Xuefei really wants to pick up a stone nearby and throw it at her!

In fact—she actually did.

"Sherfei?!"

"Hey, it's okay, I just wanted to see whether it was a real entity or an illusion. Look, it is indeed an illusion."

The stone passed through the middle of the golden figure without causing any ripples.

But this caused the golden figure to turn his head towards Xuefia.

Although I couldn't see her expression, I could feel that she seemed a little angry and confused.

The Pope was simply stunned.

He didn't expect that someone would actually throw stones at the gods worshipped by the Church!

"You rude bastard! Quickly...quickly kneel down and admit your mistake to the Lord God! This..."

“Haha…hahahahaha! Xuefia Halder, I was not mistaken about you. You are indeed unique!”

"Lord Amelus?!"

The Pope originally thought that the gods would be angry and the world would suffer.

But who would have thought that the god of the Church would smile so happily?

happy?

This time even Xia couldn't help but complain.

"I say, Xuefei...isn't that figure swaying left and right? Is he laughing? Or crying?"

"You should cry, but you didn't cry even after being hit by a rock. You're not a pervert like Siletra."

"quiet."

A clear, ethereal female voice echoed throughout the space, uttering the "silence" that would lead all things to tranquility.

The chirping of insects in the golden space stopped.

The wind is gone.

Even the Pope couldn't help but hold his breath.

However, there was still a certain Xuefei who kept chattering and complaining.

"Oh no, I accidentally stepped on a cricket and killed it. I was wondering why it stopped chirping."

"Wow...Xue Fei, just listen to what she has to say first. I feel like that thing is really going to get mad!"

36. Original

If nothing else, just look at the golden light

The shadow was shaking wildly, and one could clearly sense that she was about to explode with rage, right? !

It’s okay, Xuefei is not in a hurry, and Xiaya is not in a hurry either.
