The female devils I saved came to my door

"Of course not. Didn't I say that when I signed the contract? You can terminate the contract at any time and separate from me whenever you want. You can go anywhere." Miss Demon acted very generously: "I will not be in the contract. No matter what you do, I will keep my promise."

Lovna was really confused.

Under the bell tower, the crowds cheering and praising the "red-haired saint" were still so excited.

Looking into the distance, the sky in this city is so clear and clear, and the undulating blue waves of the sea in the distance are so beautiful.

This demon seemed to have really helped her do a great thing and made her a great hero in the fairy tale.

"What do you want to do?" Lovna was very confused and asked again, as if talking to herself.

The devil replied: "I want this world to be free of any power that oppresses others. I hope that all authority that thinks it is superior to others will be completely shattered. I hope that everyone can do what they want to do. I hope that everyone's wildest wishes can be fulfilled." Realization...because I am the existence transformed by the obsessions of those ghosts in the underworld. Doing this is the meaning of my existence."

"...Sounds good. I feel like you are like an angel. Why do you call yourself a devil?" Lovna asked the devil sincerely for the first time, hoping to get her answers.

"Because those guys who are revered as angels firmly believe that everything I guide is brought about by the twisted power of bewitching mortals. They think that the wishes I realize are empty and false, and they think that the existence of order is Necessarily, they believe that people should live within frameworks and cages... That’s why I was called a devil.”

"Oh..." Although Lovna still didn't understand, she vaguely understood: "So, angels don't like people who break the rules? Those who break the rules are all devils?"

"Yes. Even if these rules are bad, they don't allow me to break them. So I insist on breaking them. I don't allow anything that restrains me or restrains others. I can't act on my own and must use the body of a mortal to save mortals. , so I need to use your body."

"That's right...okay."

At this time, the devil approached Lovna, put his arm around her shoulders affectionately, and pointed to the street under the clock tower:

"Look at the current Weilan City, this city that we just saved. Do you think the angels who maintain order and refuse to show up to save the world even if the powerful want to starve the lower class people to death are right, or am I-- -The demon who just led you to overthrow those evil rulers - did you do the right thing?"

Lovna said hesitantly: "...I think you should have done it right?"

"Yes, Lovna, you finally agree with me..." The devil held her hand happily: "That's great, I knew you were different from others, and I knew it was right to sign a contract with you. , I finally met someone who understands me! You are my best friend now!

"Dear Lovna, you have also seen that the picture book "The Great Adventure of Saint Lovna" has only written a small chapter so far. But in fact, there are still many people living in difficulties in this world. people, they all need our help, and there is more to this story.

"Do you want to fill this picture book with stories of your own creation? Do you want to become a real hero?"

Lovna looked at the witch, confused for a moment.

"The Holy See should be coming to the Valan Republic soon. You can stay here, wait for them to arrive, and then try to take the boat to see your teacher Charles. Of course, you can also choose to make this journey longer - change Take the land route and see more scenery along the way, and I will accompany you.

"When we encounter those bad guys who oppress others, we defeat them together, like today. Then, we write the new stories we created in picture books. By then, you will be able to have a book that is better than the original one. Teacher Charles’s storybook is thicker, richer, and more realistic!

"Do you want to tell your teacher Charles that these are all your achievements? At that time, you can also take your teacher Charles and follow the stories in the fairy tale book to find these cities and residents saved by you. , let Teacher Charles be shocked by your achievements?"

What the devil said was all true, but the sweet words woven into these truths hit Lovna's heart, and were more effective than lies.

In the past, when Ciel told Lovna stories, the stories he created were always fairy tales based on the dualism of good and evil.

The story of justice fighting against evil and finally winning and the world being at peace is indeed very suitable for children, but it is not suitable for reality.

Ciel didn't have time to tell Lovna that fairy tales are fairy tales after all. If you really want to solve oppression, you can't just rely on killing the people who oppress others. What happens after defeating the oppressors is the real focus.

He didn't have time to tell Lovna what consequences would be caused if he chose to break the rules instead of recasting new ones just because the order was too bad.

During her studies in Glory City, Sirna had gradually understood some of the complexities of adult society based on her own knowledge, and also gradually understood some truths with the help of Ciel's guidance.

However, Lovna, she was gradually led astray by this devil who believed in extreme anarchy.

So, she made a choice.

………………

"Lovna was bewitched by the demon and mistakenly believed that as long as she killed the oppressors together with the demon and helped the common people divide the rich and powerful's property, everything would be fine and she would become a hero and enjoy the benefits of everyone. With their cheers and support, we can write the real 'Saint Lovna's Great Adventure', which will impress me as a teacher...

“So, she agreed to the devil and chose to accompany her on the adventure.

"But how could it be so simple?

"What creates demonic 'subversives' are those ghosts who have been oppressed, restrained, and disciplined. It is their most repressed, crazy, and extreme obsessions in life. Therefore, this guy is born to oppose any authority or any superior person. No matter if the person in power is good or bad.

"She will respond aggressively to the wishes of anyone who desires to subvert the existing order, and will do everything in her power to bring about chaos.

"She will not establish order, but will only leave various seeds that lead to chaos, leaving those places in a state of chaos and disorder for a long time.

“The more dissatisfied and resentful people are about the existing order, the stronger her power will be and the greater the disaster she will bring.

"Therefore, during the plague period in Weilan City, the dignitaries were still unwilling to give in to the civilians who were increasingly living in embarrassment, and they even attempted to implement high-pressure rule. Naturally...

“The power of disruptors has been strengthened to its peak.

"She could control most of the city's civilians and arouse their anger with just her words. It took her one day to easily create a city-wide riot of tens of thousands of people, bringing down all the senators, big businessmen, and nobles in the city. I killed a lot of them.

"After the demon left Valan with Lovna, it didn't take long for the situation in that city to get out of control...

"Velan City's supplies are limited after all. It is a free port that relies on maritime trade for development. Food basically relies on imports. Even if these people get rid of the indifferent elders, during the plague, the port's Trade remains very depressed.

“The tens of thousands of residents in their city quickly exhausted the food and medicinal materials confiscated from their homes.

"The priests, knights and the minor councilors who were not killed in the city urgently formed a provisional government in Welan City, and tried to find ways to send ships out to buy food, organize fishermen to fish, or continue to urge the Holy See for assistance... But all of them were It's a drop in the bucket and it's too late.

“As supplies were depleted again, this time, there was no one to rob and distribute food to, and there was no strong ruler to maintain order... The whole city fell into complete chaos.

"That mess was left to the Paladins of the Holy See who arrived later, oh, and me and Hilna."

71. Ciel and Silna prepare to go to Valan

It was early spring after the new year.

Sometimes Sirna would be surprised - it had been more than two years since she left her hometown of Ipoli.

In the past two years, I have been busy studying in the Holy See.I first completed a year of preliminary practice in the seminary and mastered a variety of noble ancient speech and grammar.

He also studied many religious classics and understood the sages' documents that were considered by the Holy See to "contain all necessary knowledge."

Under the guidance of many knowledgeable mages, I have learned many high-level spells that only Eternal Church insiders are qualified to have access to...

It can be said that she lived a very fulfilling life.

Nowadays, although she is still a student in name, she is already qualified to accompany Pope St. Ann IV in person. She wears luxurious and elegant robes, and accompanies His Majesty His Majesty to preside over those historic events at the grand and glorious High Mass. Sacred ceremony, and accept with her the praises of millions of believers outside the Glow Cathedral like a tsunami.

Her future is even brighter.Everyone knows that her future status will at least start as a cardinal.The flatterers had gathered around her.

Many people who are much older than her will show that deliberately artificial smile when they see her.

Sirna relied on the numerology spells she had learned. She could tell at a glance that they were deliberately trying to please her. She felt tired, but she had to deal with them with a smile.

This made her very unhappy.

What made her even more unhappy was that in the past two years, except for a few months in the first half of the first year, Charles had not been with her much.

He first learned swordsmanship from Monroe, and was cut off by Catherine in the process, so he became a nanny without telling her. Later, he was appreciated by His Majesty, and through special training and competitions, he became the Pope's personal guard and became a very busy man. .

During the plague, everything was in chaos. As the maintainer of order, the Holy See had a lot of affairs, which were all carried out by dispatched paladins and papal guards, and there were not enough manpower.

The Paladins had to carry the Holy See's will and relief supplies to various places. While pretending to selflessly support the lords and kings of various places, they also tried their best to expand the influence of the Holy See and take into account the dignity of the Holy See.

These jobs are not easy. Not only do you have to be able to fight, but you also have to be able to do things, which requires very high personal abilities.

As it happens, Ciel is very suitable for this kind of work.

To be precise, he can basically do any job well.

Because of his outstanding performance and outstanding abilities, he was regarded as a useful tool by the Holy See and was sent to various expatriates to lead paladins and doctors around.

Either he was going to this principality to deliver medical supplies, or he was going to that city-state to maintain law and order, or even worse, he was going to some territory to sign an agreement with the local lords on behalf of the Holy See... running around every day, he was so busy.

The most troublesome thing is that at this time, Yiboli, who had been disconnected from communication for a year, was finally able to contact him.

The good news is that I heard that the damage in Ipoli was not that serious in comparison, and at least Sirna's parents are still alive.

But they also received bad news - Lovna. She left a note saying that she was leaving home to find Teacher Charles, and then left her hometown and disappeared.The paladins were unable to bring the girl as promised and reunited with Silna and Ciel.

This news made Hilna very puzzled.

She didn't understand how her sister, who obviously didn't know any magic and had at least learned some sword skills from a three-legged cat, left a letter on a whim, packed some luggage, and left her hometown to cross the continent to glory. The city is looking for Charles.

Doesn't she know how dangerous this is?

A person traveling across the continent in peacetime would have a narrow chance of death, but now there is still plague everywhere.

Although there is peace in Glory City, Sirna also knows how chaotic it is outside.

Lovna is running around so irresponsibly. If something happens to her, Teacher Charles will definitely be very sad.

If Your Majesty hadn't made a prophecy for Ciel and swore to Heavenly Father with absolute certainty: "Lovna is absolutely safe now and will definitely be able to meet you again in the future." I'm afraid that Ciel would have left Glory City immediately. Go find that girl alone.

What the hell is she thinking?

Seeing this day in early spring, Teacher Charles finally returned to Glory City. He thought he should take a vacation to have some food with him, draw some paintings, or chat... However, he had just returned to his residence and had not sat in the heat yet. As for the bench, a new task has been assigned.

He has to go on business again.

"Teacher Charles..." she begged and stopped in front of Charles, holding down his hand that was about to pick up the epee: "You haven't come back for vacation during the New Year, and you haven't even been home for half a day, and you have to leave again. , there is no need to be so tired... tell me, Your Majesty, to give you a long vacation, you are so tired that you have dark circles under your eyes."

Charles shook his head: "Silna, don't forget, I relied on your majesty's promotion and care to get a position as a personal guard. If I don't work, I can't live up to her expectations. The task is very urgent now, and there are people everywhere outside." In Dead Man, I couldn't take a vacation in the city with peace of mind.

"Moreover, I also asked a group of paladins to search for traces of your sister Lovna. I asked them to help, so I have to help them with some tasks, right?"

Sirna was still unwilling to give in: "Then take me with you and let me accompany the teacher to do something. Last time I was in the principality, I failed to help you. I will try my best this time!"

"Silna, this mission is different from the last one. It is an unexpected situation: something happened in the Weilan Republic, and the citizens of that city rioted. The residents of that city hanged all the senators, and directly We have distributed supplies in the city, but now there is anarchy there... The support team from the Holy See don’t even know who to contact.”

"Velan Republic..." Hilna thought about the very prosperous and beautiful free trade port in her impression: "Is that the place where we set sail before coming to Glory City?"

Charles nodded: "Yes. That's right there. According to reports, it's a mess right now. The Paladins' ships were almost robbed and they couldn't dock at all. They need support. There aren't many empty people in the Holy See right now. I have to Worthy."

"Then you have to take me with you. Teacher Charles, don't forget, I am very proficient in numerology spells, and I also know a lot of range-type soul-suppressing magic. I am best at suppressing mobs. I can definitely help you."

"Sirna, you are really not suitable to intervene in such violent conflicts right now..."

"Teacher, I have grown up! Sooner or later I will become a big shot, you said! Sooner or later I have to learn to face these things. I can't stay in the church all my life and not care about anything, right? "

…………

After some arguing, Sirna still failed to convince the teacher.

Charles felt that he was suppressing a riot this time. This kind of task would definitely require killing a lot of people. He really didn't want to cause any psychological pressure to Sirna.

But Sirna was so powerful that she actually found the Pope, directly begged St. Ann IV to intervene, and got a place to accompany Charles on a business trip.

"This mission is very urgent - the situation in Weilan is completely out of control. It will be very useful to have a high-level mage like Sirna to assist you.

"Char, don't treat her like a child. Sirna is an adult. Her magical talent is unparalleled in the world. Moreover, if she wants to take on responsibilities in the future, she should learn to deal with these difficult things."

Therefore, there is no other way, and His Majesty has said so, so Charles can only agree to take Sirna with him.

72. The city in chaos

This mission was so urgent that the Holy See even dispatched precious floating ships.

This kind of small ship that uses magic and runes to fly at low altitude on the sea is extremely rare. The production process has long been lost. The few ships that have survived to this day are treated as treasures and stored in important warehouses in Saints Port. Untouched for decades.

But in order to solve the trouble in Welan City this time, the ship was also moved out.The Holy See hopes that more than a dozen guards and knights, including Charles, will rush to the once prosperous trading seaport city as soon as possible to help restore order there.

After activating the floating ship, the runes around the hull slowly lit up, and the wind containing spell fluctuations spread from under the ship.The streamlined hull raised its bow and slowly rose into the air amidst the buzzing sound. Then, after an astonishing acceleration, it rushed to the sea surface, driving the air current and leaving a long white trail on the sea.

Those participating in this mission are all veteran knights, all of whom have extensive experience in suppressing riots and hunting down heretics.

In the small and crowded cabin, this group of armor-clad warriors gathered together to discuss the troubles of the Welan Republic.

The city that prospered due to commerce, Weilan, was ruled by a government composed of a Senate of dozens of elders and a parliament of hundreds of members.

The elders are the descendants of the founders of the Weilan Republic. They control a large number of trading houses and docks, monopolize various trade qualifications, and hold high positions of power.The parliamentarians are often served by rich people, big businessmen, and nobles in the city.It is a very typical aristocratic republic system.

Many believers from the eastern part of the mainland who want to make a pilgrimage to Rongguang City need to take the sea route and pass through the port of Weilan.Therefore, the Holy See attaches great importance to its relationship with the rulers of Weilan. Many of these senators and congressmen have nominally studied in seminaries.These people have very close relations with the Holy See.

However, that riot directly killed more than half of the elders, and the congressmen also died.

An old knight introduced the information to others: "According to the current fragmentary information, this riot was triggered by a red-haired woman.

"That woman was probably a high-level sorcerer who believed in heresy. She came to Weylan three or four months ago. She used some kind of spell with bewitching ability to deliver a speech and agitated the residents of the whole city. She He also performed healing spells that were stronger than any ordained physician and saved hundreds of plague patients.

"At that time, the entire city's residents were mesmerized by the 'miracles' she showed. Then, she logically led the city's residents to raid the homes of fifty or sixty senators and congressmen, inciting the common people to hang themselves. them.

"Subsequently, she ordered the residents to search out their inventory and distribute it to civilians. After completing all this, the woman ascended into the clouds like an angel and disappeared. The residents at the time thought she was an angel who came to save everyone."

Hilna was also listening. She felt something was wrong when she heard this: "Isn't she doing a good job? Why did she cause trouble?"

Sirna also came into contact with some students from Vilan City in the seminary.

Those students are the descendants of senators, congressmen and dignitaries, and they all come to the seminary to be gilded.This group of people generally think that they are superior to others, have no interest in learning, have no ability, are arrogant and conceited, and are particularly self-righteous.
