The female devils I saved came to my door

But this good news certainly attracted the attention of the two paladins.

Perry and Talia, they are actually quite conscientious. They have been patrolling the Great Hessend area. After the epidemic broke out, they also taught simple herbal preparation methods everywhere, helped to deal with the corpses of the sick, and provided services to the deceased. Prayers and blessings... but there is nothing they can do to control the spread of the plague.

Now, they suddenly heard that there was a magic medicine that could cure the plague in Ipoli. Of course, the two of them were puzzled - how could there be such a magic medicine that could almost bring the dead back to life?

Even blessed pharmacists are not capable of rescuing so many patients in batches.

After arriving in Ipoli, they saw the residents happily waiting for the distribution of medicine, not only in Ipoli, but also in many neighboring countries.

They all gathered in front of the church in Ipoli, waiting for the priest to scoop out the magical potion and distribute it to them.

The priest also warmly received them and greatly boasted about the efficacy of the potion.

The only pity was that there was only one pill left, and after giving it out, the priest didn't know what to do.

"Can you confirm the ingredients of the medicine for us?" Perry was still very skeptical: "I also have some research on pharmacology, and I want to confirm the ingredients."

After seeing the priest carefully taking out the medicine box, opening the box and showing the last pill, Perry took a little bit of the powder and studied it carefully.

He found the problem.

"Sir, you can keep the medicine for now, but can I take this box back for investigation?"

The priest originally planned to offer the box as a sacred object in the future, but he was somewhat reluctant.

But it was the Paladin's request that he couldn't stand it, so he had no choice but to agree.

At the same time, Lovna, who thought she had done a great deed by giving the pills to the priest, was having a lunch break when a bad omen appeared in her restless dream.

She dreamed about the demon.

There was a half-smile on the face of the demon: "Child, the medicine I gave you at that time was only allowed to save eighteen people. Now, let alone eighteen, I'm afraid there are more than eighteen hundred. "

"I didn't do this. I gave the medicine to the priest, and he was willing to use it to save everyone. And your medicine is very useful, and it has indeed saved many people."

Devil: "No, that's only temporary. The diluted medicine will not really save them. They will only recover temporarily, and then they will relapse."

"what--"

The devil continued: "I am fair. My transactions will not be more or less, and I will not allow others to take advantage of loopholes. My child, you will pay the corresponding price for this."

So, after waking up, Lovna saw the two paladins who came to visit on horseback in the courtyard of the hut.

"Miss Lovna, did you give this box of medicine to the priest?" Perry asked, holding the box of medicine: "Were you the one who engraved the words on this medicine box?"

"what……"

"Where did you get this medicine?" Perry's tone became serious.

Thalia next to him looked even more impatient.

"Teacher Charles left it to me..." She lacked confidence and her tone was very weak.

"Don't talk nonsense. Your teacher Charles doesn't know any healing spells. Moreover, the blessing magic in this pill obviously involves forbidden spells... How did this come about? Miss Lovna?"

"This is... this is..." Lovna hesitated, not knowing how to defend herself.

Seeing this, Perry became more confident in his guess.

He believed that these drugs were probably obtained by Lovna from some heretical mage sect or from the hands of demons after being bewitched.

She thought she could cure everyone with these medicines, so regardless of the consequences, she naively placed the medicines at the door of the church and asked the priest to distribute them to everyone.

"If this medicine was obtained from a transaction with a heretic mage, then I suggest you tell the truth quickly. Miss Lovna, maybe your starting point is good and you hope to save the civilians in your hometown, but it is impossible for those bastards to do it What a good thing, they are very good at adding chronic poisons to medicines, or refining innocent people into magic materials!"

"If you don't tell the truth, we will have to take coercive measures." Thalia added sadly to the crowd.

After all, her front teeth were lost because of Lovna, so it is inevitable to hold grudges.

"me……"

She still didn't dare to tell the truth.

"Forget it, since you don't want to say it, we will solve the problem ourselves." Perry was no longer patient: "I know you often go to the jungle near the Everglades these days. That's probably where the heretics are located, right? We will destroy them."

"After all, if something went wrong with the drug and someone died, you would be an accessory."

Lovna immediately stayed where she was.

These words gave her a blow to the head.

But from the look on her expression, the two knights were determined to go there to deal with the heresy.

Not wanting to waste a moment, they got on their horses and turned away.

"You can't go, you can't go!" She shouted hurriedly: "That's what I got from a deal with a devil! You can't defeat the devil! That guy can turn into me and let me make a wish to her. I will take it I exchanged the fairy tale picture book that Mr. Charles made for me for the potion, and everything I said is true..."

However, it is no longer useful. Even if it is a demon, the two knights have dealt with it before. Their standard weapons have corresponding exorcism runes and they have received corresponding training, so they are not afraid at all.

But they didn't expect that the demons they faced this time were different from those in the past.

…………

When Lovna rushed to the dense forest next to the swamp out of breath, everything was already too late.

The deep and dense forest seemed colder and damper than before, and the forest seemed unusually quiet. You couldn't even hear the sound of the wind blowing the branches and leaves.

The horses of the two knights were parked outside the woods, and they were pawing their hooves very restlessly.

Lovna rushed into the forest, ignoring the scratches of branches, leaves and shrubs. After running for an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the two paladins in a clearing in the forest - to be precise, they were one of the paladins. Corpses, and a paladin about to become a corpse.

Their armor was stripped off and thrown aside like garbage.

The dead Perry had his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he saw before his death.

His head rolled to the side, but his body was kneeling on the ground upright, with blood constantly remaining on the broken area, turning the withered yellow grass leaves on the ground black and red.

The other Thalia was casually strangled by the demon's neck and had already passed out.

"Why are you here?" The devil frowned, looked at Lovna who came with some annoyance, and threw Thalia aside: "You ignored my reminder and gave the medicine to others. , and attracted two troublesome knights, what do you want to do now?"

"I...can you please stop killing people?"

"No, they attacked me first, so I will also take their lives."

After saying that, she waved her hand gently and chopped off Thalia's head.

Although Lovna had hunted before and knew what it felt like to kill a living body, she had seen many people die due to the plague in the past six months.

But this was the first time she saw a living person being wiped out so casually, and she was almost stunned.

"Miss Lovna von Ippoli." The devil snapped his fingers, and the bodies of the two people burned like firewood in the fireplace.

She continued: "These two knights were attracted by you. I am just trying to deal with the aftermath for you. If I don't kill them, they will also arrest you and put you in custody as a heretic who has fornicated with the devil.

"Also, because of your irresponsible behavior and not doing what I said, the residents of Ipoli who were rejoicing in their recovery from a long illness will soon be struck down by the resurgence of the plague. Those medicines were originally You shouldn't have saved so many people, it's all your fault. You shouldn't have given the medicine to that priest."

These words made Lovna feel her blood run cold.

After listening to the devil's accusations, she simply couldn't face herself.

long silence.

"Can I make another deal and make a wish to change everything..." By some strange coincidence, she actually said this at this time.

54.Devil's Contract

Lovna hopes to pay the price and make another wish to undo her mistake.

"Do you want to make a wish?" The devil's eyes lit up and he asked with great interest, "Okay, what wish do you want to make?"

"Can you resurrect these two paladins?"

The devil shook his head: "This is impossible, they will attack me."

"Then...I think, I want the residents of Ipoli to be completely healed!"

"Completely recovered, that's thousands of infected people, but what price can you pay? Is there anything else you cherish?"

She only has this alchemical short knife in her hand.

"This is far from enough..." The devil shook his head: "It would be difficult for so many people to recover healthily. You have to pay a lot. The price related to the wish to extend life is very high. By analogy, Probably more than 100 copies of "The Magical Adventures of the Witch Lovna" will be enough."

"Then what should I do..."

"Actually, the price I ask for may not necessarily be an object." The devil seemed to have been prepared: "Other things can also be used, such as... other people's emotions, thoughts, and pain can all be used as a price."

"What do you mean?"

The devil finally revealed her purpose: "Contract, sign a contract with me. I will give you power, and if you help me complete a few tasks, I will fulfill your wish."

…………

This is the reason why Lovna signed a contract with the devil.

After that, she went through some tangles and chose to leave Ypoli.

When there were only a few months left before Charles promised to "come back to visit her within two years", she left.

The only things she brought as a gift were the savings that Ciel left for her, the alchemy weapons and runes that Ciel got for her, the letters that Ciel sent her, and some changes of clothes.

As usual, she told her mother that she was going hunting.

But after several days, she never came back.

Her mother found a letter at home.

Her mother couldn't read, so she asked the priest to help her read it, and then she found out: Lovna claimed that she was tired of her days in Ipoli and wanted to leave here to find Teacher Charles.

Her mother was frantic, but it was no use.

No one knows where Lovna is now.

Two months later, the residents of Ipoli welcomed some special visitors - a group of radiant white-armored knights, carrying a large amount of plague medicine and emergency food, entering the Great Black Sunder region from the west. .

The identities of these people are even more special.

"We are following the orders of His Excellency Charles and Miss Sirna, and are here to rescue the residents of their hometown."

"Char? Sirna?" These two familiar names made people very surprised.

"Oh, Lord Charles has been appreciated by His Majesty the Pope. He is currently serving as His Majesty's personal guard. At first, everyone was still dissatisfied with him, but Sir Charles is indeed very strong and worthy of everyone's trust. Miss Sirna is now His Majesty's bodyguard. The students we value most have a bright future.”

These knights explained:

"So, they asked us to come to Ipoli to help you, so we came. We brought medicine to deal with the plague and some emergency dry food. Charles also asked us to bring a message: He and Miss Hilna miss you very much, just because The plague blocked the passage, and I was very busy, so I couldn't come in person."

Several princes currently in charge of Iboli expressed their gratitude to these guests.

Although these medicines came a little late, I can still feel my heart.

The visiting knights were also very surprised because the number of existing patients in Ipoli seemed to be less than that in other places.

Although there are many unmarked graves in Ipoli, the streets are more lively, and pedestrians do not have the panic and fear that they had during the plague.

Local people also ostentatiously told stories about priests receiving miracle medicine and saving countless lives.

"That pill is so amazing! Just take one and soak it in water. No one drinks a spoonful of it. Even those who are half dead will be cured immediately!"

Although the knights were a little confused, they didn't ask any more questions.

Now there are a few more things to note.

One is to contact the two Paladins in the Great Hesende area, Perry and Thalia. These two people have been here on business for several years. They are very hard-working and they should go back to rest and enjoy themselves. Lived.

The second one was to follow Ciel's instructions and take his student, a red-haired girl named Lovna, to Glory City.

Charles specifically ordered that the child should not be kept waiting because this was a promise he had made.

However, both the two knights and Lovna were missing.

I only found out from Lovna's mother that the girl had left Ipoli and said she was going to find Charles alone.

This news made the knights not dare to neglect, and they hurriedly thought of ways to inform Ciel who was far away in Glory City.

In just a few months, Charles missed the opportunity to reunite with Lovna in time, so that in the future, he would need to spend more effort to have the opportunity to see her again.
