The Tale of Hero Alice's Social Death

In addition to knowing from Alice that Lilith is the princess of the Kingdom of Lane, it is natural to infer that the king of the Kingdom of Lane, Aetolia, is the elder brother of the princess Lilith—so as a younger sister, It seems reasonable for Lilith to hand over such important clues to her elder brother who is the king.

"...Maybe I won't hand it over to him for the time being. The things here are really too big. Many people may not be able to accept that the power of the Demon King is actually an accident created by humans more than 1 years ago. Especially It was the massacre more than 1 years ago, and people nowadays basically don’t know about it.”

Lilith hesitated for a moment, and after thinking for a while, she shook her head and said, "This kind of thing should be left to the second brother after Alice has completely solved the problem of the first generation of the devil and the power of the devil, and then let the kings Let’s release this information according to the situation, at least to ensure that the citizens can accept these facts smoothly.”

"Actually, I occasionally think that Lilith may also have the potential to be a king."

Alice looked at Lilith's expression, and said thoughtfully——Although Lilith is only a princess now, she still thinks from the perspective of a citizen, and the degree of respect for her from Lilith's subordinates is different. It's hard to see that Lilith is actually very good at managing her subordinates, maybe she can indeed sit on the king's position.

Anyway, because of the existence of magic in this world, the difference in physique will not determine the difference in strength, and naturally there will be no difference in status between men and women. There are women among the human kings and the four demon kings, and there are still women in history. It was an era where almost all female kings lived, so it would not be surprising that Lilith became king.

"Let's forget it. Being a king or something, just thinking about dealing with government affairs and diplomatic relations all day feels like a headache. That really doesn't fit my character."

When Lilith heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she quickly shook her head to say no—in fact, if she really wanted to be king, it would be true that she would rely on her relationship with Alice and that Alice solved the commotion caused by her father. At the beginning, she could take advantage of the trend, but she really felt that her character was not suitable to be a king, so she didn't harm the country.

From Lilith's usual actions, it is not difficult to see that Lilith is a more lively person, and she does not stay at home all day like most housewives. She likes to go shopping and comic exhibitions, and she is also interested in something And running around, this restless personality made Lilith doomed to become a king who needed a calm personality.

Think about it, if you become a king, you won’t be able to spend a whole day watching fan shows, you can’t catch up with every comic show, you can’t rush to work on your favorite fanbook before the comic show, and you can’t follow Alice and the others around like now , Lilith felt very uncomfortable, so the proposal of being a king was not only not suitable for her, she would not be willing either.

"Thinking about it, the king who runs out every two days is really worried about the people of that country... After all, the king on the human side is different from the four demon kings in the demon world."

Wendini thought about Lilith's character, and felt that this proposal was not reliable, she nodded and said, "The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race rely on their strength, so most of the government affairs can be handled by those who are good at government affairs who are attached to them." Even if the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race occasionally leave the kingdom, there will be no accidents."

"Although the birth of the Demon Race was an accident left over from the first generation of Demon Kings, the Demon Race has also developed its own unique culture. Sometimes I am quite interested in the culture of the Demon Race, which is similar to human culture. Not a small difference."

In the era when Aini lived, there were no demons, so Aini has always been interested in the demons. When she was acting with other people before, I heard that Aini often went to the demon world. "In the future, although The boundary between humans and demons will gradually blur, but this culture will probably be the biggest difference between the two."

"However, humans and demons are completely indistinguishable from each other's era. I guess I can't see it anymore. Even if the power of the first generation of demon kings and demon kings is eliminated, and the pollution of the demons is solved, I think that in my lifetime, I can only see humans and demons at most. Shake hands and make peace."

Lilith shook her head helplessly. The fusion of cultures takes a long time, at least it is not something that an ordinary human can see. "Is the matter here settled? Then we should go back."

Chapter 190 and Eight of Ani's Discovery

When Alice and the others returned to Lacey's house, there was no one in Lacey's living room—the senior alchemist's test preparation book that Lacey was reading before was placed on the coffee table. Something left for a while, and Beatrice and the others could still vaguely hear their discussion from the door of the alchemy studio.

Obviously, Beatrice and the others are still working hard to decipher the content of the traceless enchantment engraved on the ring. After all, this is not an easy job. It is normal for them not to leave the door of the alchemy studio all day, anyway, they are all ready to stay up all night for several days in a row.

What surprised Alice was that this group of people had been studying for a whole day, and they could still maintain this kind of energy for high-intensity discussions. She has the ability to stay for a long time without rest, but if she is allowed to stay up all day, she probably won't want to talk.

"Beatrice and the others are right there?"

Aini also heard the sound of discussion coming from the door of the alchemy studio. Although the sound insulation effect of this room is not bad, then a group of people crowded inside to discuss loudly, only a very small sound can be heard, and most people can't hear it at all. To - but for Alice and the others, they can also detect and capture this kind of subtle voice.

In fact, Lacey's alchemy studio has been very lively these days. Before that, there were also Milia and the others in the alchemy studio who were studying the possibility of magic patterns and replicas of the traceless ring. Ani also worked with Lilith and Wendy Ni went back to Lacey's room several times, and naturally noticed the bustle of the alchemy studio, but she didn't care at all at the time.

But now she can't help but not care about it. After all, although the alchemy studio was lively before, it has nothing to do with her. She doesn't have much accomplishment in alchemy. And it wasn't the first time she saw the people inside, so she naturally didn't have the idea of ​​going in to disturb them at that time.

But this time is different, this time Alice told her that there is Beatrice in the alchemy studio, and this friend who drifted away when she was a child is in the alchemy studio, so Ai Ni naturally wants to see her Her side—especially knowing that Beatrice accepted the power of the Demon King to become the Demon King was probably to save herself.

The nostalgia for Beatrice, as well as the guilt and gratitude for that incident, naturally made Annie want to meet Beatrice - but according to what Alice said, the current Beatrice Lisi didn't know why, and she didn't want to recognize Ani, so she kept preventing Alice from telling Ani about her, so Ani had no choice but to give up.

"Yes, Beatrice is inside, but I told you, I can only take a sneak peek. Although I don't know why Beatrice doesn't want to meet you, there should be a reason for her."

Alice nodded, she could understand Annie's nervousness, it's normal to feel nervous when seeing a long-lost good friend, but no matter how excited she was, she couldn't let Annie go in to see Beatrice—listen The intense discussion inside probably made Ani secretly glance at Beatrice, but she probably wouldn't have noticed.

Under Ani's excited expression, Alice walked to the side of the alchemy studio, stretched out her hand and gently opened the door, revealing a crack in the door—although the people in the alchemy studio are not weak, but Alice's The strength is already better than them, and the attention of the people inside is not at the door, so no one can notice.

Through the crack of the door, Ai Ni managed to see what was going on inside. Sure enough, besides a few living people, among the group of people around the table, there were three small figures. One was Andu sitting cross-legged on the table. Thea, one is the soul of Milia floating above Andusia's head, and the last one is the soul of Beatrice.

"That's right, that's Beatrice, it really is her."

There was a flash of excitement in Aini's eyes. Of course, she still remembered the appearance of Beatrice. In fact, when she first saw the first generation of Demon King and Luka's soul, she felt that they were very similar to Beatrice. , but because the appearance of the first demon king has changed slightly, and the temperament is completely different, so Ai Ni didn't think of Beatrice at that time.

But this time, Ai Ni can be sure that the soul is Beatrice. At this time, Beatrice is drawing some magic lines with her fingers on a piece of magic test paper, and beside her are surrounded by Others are making some supplements and inquiries about the magic lines outlined by Beatrice to make up for Beatrice's lack of theory.

Although Beatrice said that she didn't want to tell her for the time being, Aini felt that she was satisfied to see Beatrice still so energetic-of course, even though they were both in the form of souls, the essence It's a dead person, and it's hard to say whether the word "vigor" can be used, but as long as the meaning is that, it will be fine.

Annie nodded in satisfaction, and was about to look back, but suddenly her body froze, as if she had discovered something, she frowned slightly, and did not retreat immediately, but continued to stare at Beatrice's soul For a while, it was not until she was pulled back by Alice that she interrupted her gaze at Beatrice.

"If you look at it again, you will be discovered. Although they are discussing very lively now, they don't pay attention to the door, but they will be noticed sooner or later if they keep staring."

Alice closed the door and looked at Ai Ni helplessly. She didn't know what happened to Ai Ni just now. Obviously Alice saw that she was going to look away, but in the end she looked at Ai Ni for a while longer - don't look at the group of people in the room. People don't notice it now, but they are extremely mentally strong, and they will soon feel that there is a line of sight staring at them.

Annie, who was pulled back by Alice, didn't care about Alice's complaints. She looked at the door closed by Alice, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and finally thought of something, then quickly raised her head to look He turned to Alice and said seriously to her:

"There seems to be something strange in Beatrice's soul. When I was looking at her just now, I vaguely noticed a sense of discord in her soul... I thought, maybe it was Beatrice. The reason why you don’t want to tell me about your existence.”

The first thousand 190 nine chapters without conspiracy theory (

"There is something abnormal about Beatrice's soul?"

Alice was a little surprised when she heard that, Beatrice had never told her these things—although everyone has their own privacy, it is impossible to tell others everything about themselves, but if Beatrice If there is a serious problem with Triss's soul, obviously telling Alice that they are the best way to deal with it.

After all, Beatrice is already Alice and the others' companions, and everyone's goal is to completely eliminate the power of the Demon King, so it's only natural that something abnormal happened in this kind of thing The land should be solved by everyone, just like Alice's contract magic is solved by everyone.

It would be fine if Beatrice could solve this problem alone, but it seems that Beatrice obviously hasn't solved it alone, and Ani has seen it out—and Beatrice My knowledge of magic theory is still at more than 1 years ago, maybe the problems that could not be solved more than 1 years ago can be easily solved now.

"Speaking of which, Ani, do you still know soul magic? I remember Beatrice told me that your soul magic at that time was not systematic at all. Although there was already a theory of soul research, it seems that this kind of Everything is regarded as the 'god's domain'?"

Alice looked at Ai Ni, and was also a little curious that she could see through Beatrice's soul. Although it seems that all these guys are good at extracting souls, in fact, according to Beatrice's previous What I told myself during the chat, more than 1 years ago, the soul can be said to be a field full of theology.

At that time, although there were a few people who studied the soul, they did not study it deeply after all. The study of the soul did not deepen until thousands of years later when someone developed undead magic with the help of corpses and souls. Undead magic was regarded as The reason for the taboo was originally partly because many people believed that they violated the realm of the gods.

Of course, with the in-depth study of the soul later, many people also realized that the soul is not something that only gods can master. Soul energy can also become another special force like magic power and spiritual power, and can even influence each other. So in the last 1000 years, the system of soul magic was finally established.

And in this case, Ai Ni, who was more than 1 years ago, could see through the abnormality in Beatrice's soul at a glance. This naturally surprised Alice, after all, Alice also learned about it in textbooks. Some characteristics of soul magic, if you want to see the abnormality of the soul by observing with your eyes, this requires a deep knowledge of soul magic.

"Although the soul is indeed a very complicated field in our era, and there are very few people who study it... But after all, I am a brave man. After becoming a brave man, I have also obtained a lot of research materials about the soul, and I have studied it carefully. okay?"

Ani glanced at Alice, as if dissatisfied with her underestimating her soul magic power, she shook her head and continued, "Although it is different from the modern soul magic theory that has become a system, but because 1 Many years ago, we were more in awe of the soul, so the research is not necessarily worse than the modern one."

"So, what's the matter with Beatrice? Why do you say that her soul is abnormal?"

Alice nodded, accepting the fact that Annie's attainment in soul magic is very good, but now she is more concerned about what is wrong with Beatrice's soul, and Ani showed her came out, "Could it be that...the soul of Beatrice is not actually Beatrice!? We all guessed wrong?"

This is not impossible. In fact, at the beginning, a lot of information about Alice and the others were guesses based on known clues, but whether these guesses are true or not—for example, Beatrice It's just Alice's guess that she received the power of the Demon King on the way down the cliff in Rabies Village.

Even later, "Beatrice expected to reach her out of control in advance, so she responded in advance", which is what Alice and the others take for granted. After waking up Beatrice, Beatrice's The performance seemed to confirm their thoughts, so they had no doubts about Beatrice at all before.

"Your thinking is too strange... Although Beatrice's soul is a little abnormal, it is not to this extent. She is indeed Beatrice. I can be sure of this. If you say She's not Beatrice, so she's too good at disguising, even my best friend when I was a child can be fooled."

Ani looked at Alice speechlessly, shook her head helplessly, and then explained to Alice, "What should I say about Beatrice's soul... the wavelength is a little different from what I know. , the average person's soul wavelength should be like a straight line, but Beatrice's soul wavelength is intermittent."

"Soul wavelength... I don't know much about soul magic. Does this mean that Beatrice's soul is still incomplete?"

Alice hesitated, she thought about Beatrice's performance, and said puzzledly, "But Beatrice's soul can withstand complete thinking now, and she can even stay up late, if it is For an incomplete soul, it should be the same as when she called herself Luca before, and she will fall into a deep sleep soon, right?"

"The intermittent wavelength of the soul does not mean that her soul is incomplete. It should mean that her soul has a major problem in some functions—just like a person's body is deformed, but it doesn't make his heart beat. become intermittent."

Aini shook her head and said, "The intermittent state of Beatrice's soul wavelength is more like some kind of magic is still running in her soul... You should also know that some magic can continue to take effect Yes, there should be some kind of magic in Beatrice's soul that is continuously taking effect."

"So, can you see what the magic is?"

Alice's expression is also a little dignified, and she is also very concerned about Beatrice's situation, but it's a pity that she didn't notice anything abnormal about Beatrice's soul at all, and neither did anyone else. Noticed it.

The first thousand and 120 chapters people will change (

"I can't feel this, just like we can feel the magic power fluctuation of certain magic, but unless it is the kind of magic that we are already familiar with, it is generally difficult for us to recognize the magic power fluctuation What kind of magic does it represent?"

Aini shook her head, expressing that she could do nothing about it. No matter how powerful a magician is, it would be difficult to identify magic through the fluctuation of magic power, unless the fluctuation of magic power was indeed used by the magician all day long. The proficiency that can be used - but obviously, the magic in Beatrice's soul is not of this type.

Alice nodded when she heard the words. Even with their strength, mental power and sensitivity to magic power, they could not identify the specific magic through the fluctuation of magic power. The magic attribute represented, for example, this magic may be fire attribute or something... that's all.

As for the magic in Beatrice's soul, Aini obviously couldn't feel anything. On the one hand, it was because the magic in Beatrice's soul did not show any magic fluctuations. On the other hand, the magic that can continue to operate in the soul does not have any elemental attributes.

Elemental magic is the easiest to learn, but the effect is often the most common, because elemental magic can be achieved with the help of various elemental powers in nature, and these natural elements are filled in people's hearts almost all the time. In life—then obviously, the soul is not something that everyone can feel, does not belong to the elements.

The magic that can run in the soul is most likely to be some kind of soul-type magic. In addition, there are some special types of magic that can continue to run in the soul, such as curses-but Ani said that Bei The possibility that the magic in Beatrice's soul is a curse is very low, at least the performance is different from the curse she recognizes.

"But having said that, the fact that there is some kind of magic hidden in Beatrice's soul doesn't mean that's why she doesn't want to meet you, does it?"

Alice looked at Ai Ni with some doubts again. Although she was surprised that there was some kind of magic in motion in Beatrice's soul, it didn't necessarily mean that it was Bea. Triss's reason for not wanting to see Ai Ni?After all, even if Beatrice and Annie meet, this matter can be prevaricated.

"At the beginning, I just thought that the abnormality of this soul wavelength was rather weird, and I didn't think it was the reason why Beatrice didn't want to meet me, but other than that, I also found something in her soul wavelength. Something else."

Annie nodded first when she heard the words, expressing that she understood Alice's thoughts, but then shook her head slightly, and said another discovery of her own, "It doesn't seem that she didn't want to hide the abnormality of her soul wavelength. , so she also set up a special little magic in her soul to prevent others from peeping."

"A little magic to keep others from prying eyes?"

Alice was stunned when she heard the words. It's not that Alice has never heard of this kind of magic. The most common "invisibility" is this kind of anti-peeping magic, but as Alice learned before, invisibility This kind of magic is often relatively tasteless, once invisible, you can't move, so what kind of magic is Beatrice using?

"The little magic used by Beatrice was generally called 'target interceptor' at that time. The effect of this magic is to implant a specific power into your body to prevent people with the same power. People come to perceive themselves."

Aini explained, "This magic is very dependent on the ability of the user. If it is an ordinary user, it may be at most to guard against ordinary people-but Beatrice's strength is not weak. If she uses this In terms of magic, even a person of the level of a hero or a demon king will probably be easily deceived by her."

"So strong? That's right, Beatrice's magic should have been hidden in it when she separated her memory and soul energy, so after Luca fused this part of soul energy, she naturally also Absorbed that magic."

Alice thought for a while, nodded and agreed, "At that time, Beatrice had already received the transformation of the power of the devil, and her strength was greatly improved, so the magic she buried at that time could affect the level of the brave and the devil. The person she is with is also normal...but according to what you said, is it the person she was trying to stop with the magic she planted at that time?"

"That's right, it's me...I didn't expect Beatrice's soul to contain a part of my soul energy, which means that the last thing she wants is for me to discover the abnormality in her soul, after all She will become the first Demon King in the future, and it is impossible for me to be a child who does not know magic all my life."

Aini sighed, and said in a somewhat complicated tone, "So she used this trick to prevent herself from becoming the first demon king in the future, and I, who has learned magic, can see the clue - after all, what the first demon king will launch in the future is to sweep the entire world. In the war of the world, there are many people who can meet her, and she doesn't want me to find out that she is the first generation of Demon King."

"Then how did she take out the soul energy from you? And since she used the 'target blocker' to prevent you from viewing her soul, how can you perceive the abnormality in her soul now?"

Alice scratched her head, but she still didn't understand a few questions. She looked at Ai Ni and asked, "It can't be that you were transferred, right?"

"Don't make trouble, although my relationship with Beatrice has gradually faded since the incident of falling off the cliff in Rabies Village, but we are still people in the same village, and we have more opportunities to get in touch—— She had already been transformed by the power of the Demon King at that time, and I was still an ordinary child, it was very easy to obtain my soul energy."

Ani gave Alice a helpless look, and said, "As for why I can sense the abnormality in her soul now, the reason is also very simple-my soul has been transformed by the power of the brave, although in essence Not changed, but the soul energy has changed a bit, and her 'target blocker' is useless to me."

Alice immediately understood when she heard the words, it was probably like the soul energy of Annie in the past was like transparent water, but the gods mixed some coffee powder into the water - although coffee is still water, it can only intercept clear water. Magic, apparently, can't stop the coffee.

The first thousand and 120 chapters make the best use of the puppet's body

"Beatrice specially set up this magic to block my observation, plus she doesn't want to meet with me... So she definitely doesn't want me to see the abnormality in her soul. The only reason I can think of is This is it."

Aini sighed and said, "But what troubles me is that even though I already know what is abnormal in Beatrice's soul, I can't solve this problem at all-after all, Beatrice Certainly not to tell me, and if I want to study it myself, it is impossible to do it without long-term observation."

"Long-term observation...how about you try to lodge your soul on me?"

Alice frowned, thought about it carefully, then looked at Ai Ni, and asked, "I should still be in contact with Beatrice for a while, if you attach your soul to me, you can Use my body to observe Beatrice's situation at close range—although the observation time may not be too long."

Now Alice's body is exactly the body of this puppet—don't look at the fact that Alice seems to use this puppet's body very flexible, but there is actually no soul inside this puppet's body, and this puppet's body contains Yes, it is Alice's five senses and mental power, as well as a lot of magic power, so an extra soul can still be accommodated.

If it was Alice's own body, then Ani's soul would not be able to lodge in it. After all, even Luca's incomplete soul had to be squeezed into Alice's body by Alice. Come, and if Ani, the complete soul, forcibly enters Alice's body, then Alice's body can't bear it.

Even if Flamy is possessed by Colette, it is also a way of soul exchange - Colette's soul is usually hidden in the jewelry on Flamy's body, and when Colette needs to be possessed, Colette's The soul enters Flammy's body, and Flammy's soul is temporarily contained in the jewelry to complete the possession.

After all, it is generally impossible for a body to accommodate two complete souls, otherwise there will be a problem with the body or the soul—that is, Alice is using the body of a doll now, and the body of the doll This set of operations can only be played if there is no room for the soul, and Ani can be possessed in this body to hide.
