The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

"Actually, it's not difficult to get some internal information from the police, but let's not mention this for now..."

Mador shook his head and continued, "After investigation, the guards of the Ryan Kingdom found that all traces of fingerprints, footprints, secretions, etc. in the area around the book "Shadow of the Demon King" were all erased. It’s gone, completely clean—even if there are a few traces, it is basically left behind.”

"Isn't this even more clueless?"

Alice was a little puzzled. If even the footprints, fingerprints, and secretions were all erased, wouldn't it be more difficult to find out the identity of the book thief?

"No, no, no, Lord Demon King, on the contrary, although the other party erased these traces very exaggeratedly, it just shows that the other party is a professional - the one who can do this must be a thief, because this trick is only for thieves. There is a chance to come into contact with the magic 'No Trace'."

Mador waved his fingers, with a smug expression on his face, "So, the prisoner must be a thief with exaggerated experience—in fact, the guards also had this idea, but it's a pity that the thief His circle is a completely independent circle, even if the Lane Kingdom officials want to intervene, it is impossible, so although they guessed that the possible perpetrator is a senior thief, they have no way to investigate the further identity of the investigation. "

Indeed, the Thieves Guild has even set up its own magic net. It is like a huge independent force in the dark. It is not that simple for the Ryan Kingdom to intervene.

"If you want to find people in the thieves circle, of course you still need to look for thieves-although the Ryan Kingdom officials also have contact with some thieves, it is a pity that they have too little contact with the thieves circle, and many places where the thieves circle is deep I can't get in touch, so the Kingdom of Ryan has not solved this case until now."

Mador's tone seemed to be mocking the royal family of the Lane Kingdom—as a royal family, they should have in-depth contact with all the forces in their own territory, but the Lane Kingdom seemed to have missed the Thieves Guild, which made her feel Unbelievable, "So, if you want to find a criminal, Lord Demon King, you'd better start with the Thieves Guild."

"So that's it. It means to find someone who has a deep understanding of the thief circle, right?"

Alice touched her chin, and the first thing that came to her mind was Rosa—but thinking about it carefully, although Rosa has a wide network of contacts in the thief circle, she is not from the Kingdom of Ryan after all. Her relationship may be in The Kingdom of Gryffindor would work well, but it might not work in the Kingdom of Lane.

So another person appeared in Alice's mind——the thief under Lilith, Shilu, that hot girl thief can help Lilith investigate so much important information, and it must be already in the thief circle of the Kingdom of Ryan. It's a pretty senior guy, maybe she has some clues.

From this point of view, it seems that Alice’s previous investigation of these princes and princesses was not in vain. At least she learned about the theft of "Shadow of the Demon King" from Collins, and also knew that the thief Xilu under Lilith could help her find it. people.

Hmm... It seems that this makes the third prince of Arcana even more useless, but he is only a child after all, so it is understandable that he can't help.

"It seems that you already have an idea in your mind."

Seeing Alice's thoughtful expression, Mador nodded, "I don't have much friendship with the thieves of the Lane Kingdom, so I really can't help you with this. Lord Demon King, please don't blame me."

"You have no friendship with the thieves of the Ryan Kingdom?"

Alice glanced at Mador with some doubts. She always thought that Mador was able to obtain so much information, and he should be inseparable from the bandit circle. "Then how did you collect this information by yourself?"

"This is..."

Mador looked up at the false sky, "It's a secret."

Chapter 350 The Fourth Shocked Lilith for a Whole Year

Mador didn't want to say it, and Alice didn't ask. After all, there are still many ways to collect information. It is not necessary to rely on the power of thieves to obtain such an exaggerated amount of information.

For example, Frost, who was lurking at the Royal Academy of Magic in March, told Alice that the general way she collected information was through a special kind of animal taming magic. Almost the entire Royal Academy of Magic in March was her eyeliner. , and even the spirit of some orcs can be temporarily affected.

This is why Frost can even get the key to the underground chamber thousands of years ago-her magic has manipulated many days of rats in the academy, this kind of rat is especially good at finding things and drilling holes, It was these mice who helped her discover the underground chamber and the key to it.

Alice also asked if she could learn this kind of beast taming magic, but the conclusion she got was that it might not be possible now. This kind of magic is like Catherine's own magic sword technique developed based on various factors. own special magic.

This kind of magic is difficult even for Frost himself to sort out a complete set of theoretical teaching plans. Alice wants to learn, so naturally there is no way to talk about it, unless Frost has enough theoretical knowledge. It is possible to organize this set of magic into a book and become a kind of magic that can be passed down.

In history, there are many magics that cannot be handed down due to the lack of education of the users. However, Frost can enter the March Royal Academy of Magic, which shows that her academic performance is still very good. If there is no accident, she should have Enough theoretical ability to organize the principles of this set of animal taming magic into a magic book.

Maybe Mador, like Frost, has her own set of special magic—if she doesn't have any skills, she will definitely not be sent by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race to lurk in the human world. Frost relies on That hand of beast taming magic got the chance to go to the human world.

After confirming that the book thief should be a thief, Alice is ready to contact Lilith—since Lilith is also investigating the guy pretending to be Aetolia, the two have the same interests in a sense.

That being the case, if Alice proposes to use the relationship of her thieves to investigate the whereabouts of the guy who stole the "Shadow of the Demon King", Lilith will definitely not refuse - of course, the premise is that Alice must get Lily. Silk's trust will do.

Although Lilith has already regarded Alice as a fellow who also likes animation culture, and can be regarded as a good friend, but in her heart, Alice is just a princess from another country after all. Above important things, she would definitely hesitate.

And if you want to talk about how Alice can gain Lilith's trust to the greatest extent...does it need to be said?For the human beings in this world, is there a more trustworthy identity than the brave?

====================

"What did you say? Are you a brave man?"

Lilith, who was asked out by Alice, sat on a chair, took a sip of orange juice, and glanced at Alice with puzzled eyes——Alice saw a kind of care like a fool in Lilith's eyes, "This Is it some kind of strange cosplay activity? Alice, you should at least make a set of brave equipment... I know someone who makes cos props, he can make a very restored sword of the brave, but the magic pattern of God must not be able to make it That's it..."

The magic pattern of God is the symbol of the sword of the brave. Human beings cannot draw it out, and even memory cannot do it. This is why every time Alice takes out the sword of the brave, no one doubts the authenticity of the sword of the brave. The reason——if it can perfectly restore everything except the magic pattern of God, then this item master is indeed very powerful.

But Alice is not joking with Lilith. In order to borrow her thief power to the maximum extent, Alice can only reveal her identity as a brave man. Anyway, Lilith is also a member of the royal family of Lane, and Alice also Feeling that her character is credible, she revealed the identity of the hero.

Of course, there is actually a bit of a gamble involved in it. Although Alice currently thinks that Lilith is credible, Lilith still has a little suspicion when all the suspicions of princes and princesses have been ruled out by Alice—if Lilith really It was the mastermind behind the scenes, so Alice could only consider herself unlucky.

However, if Lilith is really behind the scenes, the appearance of the brave Alice should be able to deter her to some extent for a while, and there should be time to consider other means.

"..."

After Lilith finished the above sentence, she looked at Alice with a smile, hoping that she would give some reaction, such as fierce complaints or the like—but soon, Lilith found that Alice's expression remained unchanged. His mood gradually became serious, "Are you serious? Alice?"

"You can ask your father or your second brother Aetolia about this question, and you will get the answer."

Alice knew that it would be difficult for Lilith to believe what she said alone. After all, the image of a brave man in other people's hearts should be a muscular man, not a little girl like Alice, so rather than convincing Lilith herself , It is better for her to ask the two more authoritative people herself.

Of course, Alice can also take out the sword of the brave to prove herself, but now the two of them are in the private room of the coffee shop, even if the light of the sword of the brave is blocked by the private room, the huge light-attribute magic power may be too strong. To get someone's attention, so forget it.

"Okay, I'll ask my brother."

Lilith nodded, and did not doubt why Alice appeared in the Kingdom of Ryan as a brave man—after all, she had also received relevant news about the fact that the brave had just driven the devil away two days ago, so the brave did not have any information for the time being after solving the devil. It is very reasonable to leave the Kingdom of Ryan.

As for Alice, it seems that she came before King Haydn notified the brave man—Lilith guessed that Alice, the brave man, actually sensed the existence of the Demon King in advance, so he rushed to the Kingdom of Lane, which just explained why Alice Not long after coming to the Kingdom of Ryan, the Demon King appeared in the Royal Magic Tower.

Originally, Lilith was planning to ask her father, King Haydn, but considering that he might be busy, she contacted Prince Aetolia—in her opinion, Aetolia was actually the least suspicious The only one, because neither Lilith, Collins, nor Arcana has the possibility of robbing him of his inheritance.

A guy who can obtain the inheritance rights of a kingdom step by step, has nothing to do with messing up the territory he will inherit in the future, unless his brain is caught by the door.

In front of Alice, Lilith contacted Aetolia with her mobile phone, and then talked with him for a while—Alice sat opposite Lilith, and naturally heard what Lilith said, basically asking The true identity of the brave man, and then told him that the princess of Gryffin Kingdom is sitting in front of her.

Aetolia probably wanted to help Alice conceal her identity at first, but after hearing that the princess of the Gryffin Kingdom was sitting in front of Lilith, she knew that it was Alice who had voluntarily admitted her identity, so Aetolia Ya also told Lilith that Alice is the brave.

Aetolia went to the king's meeting with King Haydn and witnessed the real body of the brave man, so his words are naturally credible. After Lilith finished talking with her second brother, she looked at Alice's His eyes became weird.

"Huh? What's the matter? Didn't Aetolia tell you about my identity?"

Seeing the strange gaze cast by Lilith, Alice touched her face with some doubts, to confirm that there seemed to be nothing strange stuck on her face, then she looked at Lilith and asked in puzzlement.

"No...he told me that you are indeed a brave man."

Lilith sighed——I didn't expect Alice to be a brave man, she really never dreamed of this situation.

As a devil's chef, Lilith's views on the brave are actually quite subtle. Her identity as a human tells her that she should respect the brave, but she likes the handsome feeling of the devil, which makes her feel that the brave is not so likable.

But soon, Lilith shook her head and threw these strange thoughts to the back of her mind—she didn't know how to behave to face the brave, so she made the simplest decision.

Since you don't know how to face the brave, just use the attitude of facing "Alice" instead of facing the "hero".

Chapter 350 The Fifth Hidden Demon King's Kitchen

"So that's it. You suspect that the person who stole the book "Shadow of the Demon King" is related to the person pretending to be my second brother?"

After listening to Alice's request, Lilith understood that, as a powerful princess of the Ryan Kingdom, she naturally knew about the theft of the forbidden spell book "Shadow of the Demon King", but she didn't take this at all. Two things are connected together, "Why do you think so? Is it just because the 'devil king' in "Shadow of the Demon Lord" is related to the 'devil clan' that the latter is associated with?"

"The main reason is that there are really no other clues now. Although the connection between the two sounds very weak, but at present I only have this one direction to start."

Of course, Alice also knows that the connection between the two does not seem to be deep, but she really has no other direction to investigate now. All these things have something to do with the Demon World, and they are all unresolved incidents so far, so I instinctively feel that there may be some connection between them."

"Instinct..."

Lilith touched her chin. Although she already knew that Alice was a brave man, she felt that it would be awkward to face Alice with the attitude of a brave man, so she didn't change her attitude. I believe in intuition too much, but if it is the intuition of a brave man, it should be different, after all, it has been blessed by the gods."

In fact, that god's blessing is really useless, don't be too superstitious about gods... that blessing is not so much a BUFF, but a verification code used to pass the verification of the sword of the brave.

Although Alice really wanted to say that, but considering that she was still using her identity as a brave man to deceive her, she held back her words—it’s not a bad thing for Lilith to believe in the intuition of a brave man, at least she should be willing to do so Help yourself to investigate the man who stole the "Shadow of the Demon Lord".

Sure enough, Lilith nodded and agreed, and since she knew that Alice was a brave man, there were some things that Lilith didn't hide from her—although Alice already knew what she was going to say. understood:

"Remember the girl named Xilu that was with me when I met you on the street before? In fact, she is one of my thieves, and she is responsible for managing the thieves under me. The thieves of the Ryan Kingdom have to sell two points of face in front of her."

Of course Alice knew this, and she even had a relationship with Xilu, but she still nodded as if she didn't know, with a subtle surprise on her face, as if the first time It's the first time I've heard of such a thing.

Thanks to Lilith, who is not a psychology expert, a spiritual magician, or an acting major, she didn't realize that Alice's surprised expression was actually a bit fake. After explaining Xilu's situation to Alice , I picked up the phone and called Xilu, asking her to come to the coffee shop here.

Alice also saw Coors sitting in another corner of the coffee shop, but Lilith didn't seem to have the idea of ​​introducing Coors to Alice - but this shouldn't be considered an expression of distrust, after all If Lilith really wanted to guard against Alice, she should also know that it was impossible for Coors to stop the brave man.

Probably just simply do not want Coors to interrupt the conversation between her and Alice, after all Coors is not a good talker, he is good at fighting, if he is allowed to interrupt the conversation between Alice and Lilith Among them, it is estimated that it will be cold in a while.

"Speaking of which, if you are a hero, Alice, you should have fought the Demon King before, right?"

After contacting Shilu to let her come over, Lilith quickly turned her attention to Alice. Although she was also a little curious about how Alice made herself look like a strong man, but considering This may be a special technique unique to the brave, so he didn't ask too much, but instead asked about the Demon King.

Alice didn't know that Lilith was actually a devil's chef. She just thought that Lilith was the princess of the Ryan Kingdom, and she was worried about whether the human world would be invaded by the devil, so she didn't mean to hide it, and nodded:

"Yeah, I fought her once in the Elven Forest, and I also fought her outside the city of Icarus a few days ago."

Although they are all self-directed and acted by Alice, whether it is the cursed fight on the edge of the Elf Forest, or the terrifying light and dark magic remnant outside the city of Icarus, Alice's words are very plausible. Reliability, at least Lilith believed it completely.

"Then in your short contact, what kind of person do you think the devil is?"

I don’t know if it’s Alice’s delusion. She felt that after she said that she had fought the devil, Lilith’s expression became brighter, “Is the devil really a tall beauty like the photo on LINKS? Isn’t it? As strong as the previous demon kings in the records? After losing to you twice in a row, he must have left cruel words, right? Just like in the animation."

"Well...how should I put it, it's aloof, but in terms of self-esteem...Of course I can't feel it."

Alice also has no way to say that the "devil king" that the demon world thinks is actually herself, so she tentatively puts forward her opinion using Luna, the former demon king, as an example-of course, she really can't see it in Luna. What about self-esteem, after all, Luna turned herself into a maid in order to pursue the brave.

She has also seen demon kings with pride, such as Andusia, but Andusia's pride always appeared in some inappropriate occasions, such as when Alice forced her to watch "Magical Girl Little Light", so this On the contrary, self-esteem seems a bit sandy, and I am really embarrassed to say it.

"That's right, although the brave man and the devil are old enemies, they have only fought twice, and there won't be much communication..."

Lilith nodded to express her understanding, and at the same time she was full of interest in the aloof Demon King—Alice also sensed that something was wrong, because although Lilith seemed to be inquiring about the Demon King, in fact she was I am not interested in the progress of the devil's invasion, strength evaluation, etc., but like a groupie, asking about the devil's appearance, personality and other things.

But before Alice had time to think too much, there was a panting figure beside the two of them—it was Xilu who rushed over non-stop after receiving Lilith's call.

Chapter 350 The sixth life is not easy for thieves

"Investigate the theft of "Shadow of the Demon King"?"

Xilu also sat down at the table with Alice and Lilith, and then heard Lilith explain the general situation, but temporarily concealed the fact that Alice was a brave man.

After all, when he asked Aetolia just now, he categorically denied the connection between Alice and the brave man. This is enough to show that Alice is a brave man, and it needs to be kept secret for the time being, even if Shilu is his most trusted subordinate. For one thing, she didn't tell Xilu about it.

Alice's willingness to tell herself the identity of the brave shows that Alice trusts herself, but if Lilith just takes this secret seriously, then it's Lilith who has slapped her nose on the face——Lilith still can't hold back on this point. Clear.

"Yes, according to my investigation, the person who stole the book "Shadow of the Demon King" was probably a thief. He lost all fingerprints, footprints, secretions, and some special magic power residues at the scene. It may be The 'No Trace' technique that only thieves would use."

Alice nodded, then took out the magic crystal that sealed the remaining magic power from her bag, and put it on the table, "This special magic crystal contains the remaining magic power, as long as you put this magic crystal When placed on the masters of these magical powers, the magic crystals will change from blue to golden."

"So that's why you want me to help you test the thieves of the Ryan Kingdom to see if someone's magic power matches the magic power sealed in this magic crystal."

Xilu also understood, she looked at Lilith, saw Lilith nodding, and then agreed to Alice's request, and picked up the magic crystal on the table - although she still didn't know why Lilith would help Alice will do this, but Xilu will naturally follow Lilith's orders perfectly.

In this regard, Xilu's feeling for Lilith is a bit like Luna's feeling for Alice - the only difference is that Xilu and Lilith are still friends who talk about everything, while Luna is now feeling for Alice. But Si still put her status too low.
