The female devils I saved came to my door

Ciel was confused by these contradictory words.

But soon, he understood.

There was really a huge wave in the city, as if a giant poured a large bucket of water directly at the city gate, directly rushing out the crowd crowded at the city gate.

Then, there was another flash of dazzling red firelight.A huge fireball suddenly formed in mid-air, then fell from the sky and hit the city wall heavily.

Although the city wall made of masonry was fireproof, the flags of the Ipolitan State at the city gate were directly burned to ashes.

The citizens who were washed away by the flood were okay, no one was seriously injured, but every one of them cried for their father and mother.

Because he stood far away, Ciel was not affected and was able to stand at the gate of the city and witness some of the reality.

He finally saw the initiator of all this - a thin humanoid creature wrapped in a black mist.

Looking at the head, this creature is not as tall as Lovna, but its whole body is filled with terrifying spell fluctuations, and the surrounding space even distorts when it walks.

Its terrifying oppression was far greater than any threat the Ciel had faced in the past.

This guy's movements were a little stiff, and she was trembling as she ran staggeringly out of the city.

Along the way, once it encounters something blocking its way, it will emit a series of weird screams, sounding like a hysterical little girl.

It spits out many strange spells in succession, attracting fire, thunder or water, and directly destroys anything in its path.

"Demon! Demon!"

One of the guards howled, pointing at the thing and yelling.

Other citizens also started to cry and howl.

Charles was still haunted by confusion: How could a legendary thing like a demon appear in the city?

Before thinking clearly about this problem, the little man wrapped in black mist was attracted by the cries of the citizens. It turned to look at the people who had just been flooded by the flood it summoned. It seemed a little irritated, turned around, and headed towards These guys walked over step by step.

The frightened people immediately got up and fled in all directions.

The humanoid monster screamed a series of strange incantations, and then the people who were running away suddenly froze in place. They were shocked to find that their feet were lifted off the ground.

It was the monster who did it.

People suspended in mid-air wanted to call for help, but found that they could not make a sound, and their necks seemed to be strangled by an invisible rope, getting tighter and tighter, making no sound.

Realizing that if he didn't do something, these unlucky citizens would die. Charles could only immediately turn his mind and search for useful spells in his mind. Then he took a deep breath and recited a basic spell.

Then, he stepped on the ground, raising a burst of sand and dust, and carried the wind towards the monster.Then, he picked up an iron fork (he had just rushed out of the city due to the flood), cast a reinforcement spell on the temporary weapon, and rushed forward.

The monster noticed the incoming sand and dust and turned its head to look in the direction of Ciel.After it dispersed the sand and dust, it didn't see anyone.

At this time, Ciel, who had already circled behind the monster, threw an enchanted iron fork at it.

This simple tactic of attacking in the east and attacking in the west worked to some extent. Tiecha successfully hit the monster, but that was the end of it.

Although Ciel attached the church's emblem to the iron fork and recited the prayers of the Eternal Church, the iron fork turned into ashes the moment it came into contact with the monster.

This result caught Ciel off guard.

Logically speaking, if a monster like a demon comes into contact with an object with a holy symbol on it, it will definitely react with some resistance, or at least shed pus-like blood, but this monster seems to be fine.

Moreover, the magic cast by this monster has no evil aura, it is just common elemental magic, and the aura is very pure.

But before he could think about it, the monster had already used the firelight from the top of the city to see Ciel's face clearly.

At that moment, it seemed to stay in place.

It didn't take long for it to start shaking in a panic.Then, under Ciel's gaze, it ran away towards the suburbs outside the city.

It didn't run very fast and staggered a little, just like a child.

This made Ciel even more surprised.

With the advantage this monster had just now, it should be easy to crush him to death.

"The monster is gone?"

"The monster was beaten away!"

"The devil has been beaten away!!"

The surrounding citizens did not know the real situation.All they saw was that under the firelight, a warrior holding an iron fork threw a fatal blow at the monster. Then, the monster panicked and was beaten away.

The people who survived the disaster repeatedly confirmed that the monster had gone away, and they all cheered loudly, singing and dancing around Ciel.

The citizens spontaneously gathered around, raised Ciel high, and kept throwing him high, while shouting funny slogans such as Long Live the Exorcist Hero.

They were noisy for a long time, and finally, it was daybreak.

9. Bad family education

The next day, the tired citizens looked at the rising sun and finally calmed down.

Ciel also found Lovna who had stayed up all night hiding by the city wall.

This little girl also witnessed Teacher Charles picking up an iron fork and daring to fight the devil last night, and she admired him even more.

Not knowing how to explain it to her, Ciel had no choice but to go into the city to check the situation.

After collecting testimonies from citizens, we found out that the monster appeared near the palace last night.

It first set fire to the palace, and then started running around causing trouble in the city.There were not a few citizens injured or killed due to fires, waterlogging, and stampedes caused by it, probably close to a hundred people.

Even several princes died in last night's disaster.

As a hero who fought against demons, Ciel was naturally summoned by the king himself to be commended.

In the palace, which smelled a little burnt due to smoke, the king was sitting on the throne in the main hall.Other embarrassed and reserved princes and princesses stood on the left and right, all looking very depressed.

The old, unshaven king was greatly frightened last night.She learned that a magician had driven away the monster that wreaked havoc last night, and he immediately summoned her to inquire about the situation.

But Ciel didn't know, so he could only give a rough description of what he saw last night.

The old king was convinced that it was the devil.

He also decided that Ciel was a hero who could fight against the demon, so he was given full authority to hunt down the demon.No matter how much Ciel declined, he remained unmoved.

"Last night, my best knights were frightened and panicked when they faced the monster. But you can pick up an iron fork and dare to face the demon for a group of strangers. Mr. Charles , you are the real hero! We can only rely on you to protect our safety."

After leaving the palace, not only did he not understand the situation, but he also had an extra errand, which made him even more confused.

In this unthinkable disaster, only Lovna had a sense of ignorance and fearless happiness.

After all, she didn't understand how much loss her family had suffered. She only knew that she had witnessed Teacher Ciel's heroic battle.

"Okay, let me take you home first. You haven't been home all night. Your mother must be anxious to death." He patted the troubled girl on the head: "I won't be tired if you don't sleep." I'm sleepy...don't talk nonsense to your mother when you go back, got it?"

"Okay!" She agreed simply.

While he was in a state of distress, a man quietly approached Charles and patted him on the back.

Reflexively, Ciel directly strangled the opponent's neck with his backhand.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Charles, it's me..." The guy wearing a hood and covering himself tightly said in a low voice: "I have something to ask you..."

After all, Lovna was by his side, so he didn't act too harshly, so he took a closer look and found that the guy hidden under the hood looked familiar.

He remembered that it was the 23rd prince of Iboli, a guy whose full name was Noren von Iboli.

He is the biological father of Lovna and Silna.

"Teacher, you caught the bad guy!" Lovna didn't know her father well at all. She thought Teacher Charles had caught a thief, and she immediately became excited.

She was now particularly looking forward to seeing Ciel fight with others.

"Mr. Charles," Prince Nolen looked at him with pleading eyes: "Can we go to the room over there to talk in detail? I know some clues about the 'monster' thing last night..."

After hearing this, Charles hesitated for a moment, but still made a decision.

"Lovna, it's dawn now, can you go home by yourself?"

"Ah, now?" The smile on the little girl's face disappeared.

"Now." Charles said sternly: "Hurry home. Just say that you were lost on the road last night. I found you and took care of you for the night. You haven't slept all night. Hurry up and go home to sleep." Go! If you dare to run around again this time, I will be angry. Do you understand? I have something to do now and I want to talk to this gentleman. You go quickly, go quickly! "

"...Okay." She left frustrated.

After following this prince for a long time, he wandered around the chaotic alleyways of the city, and finally arrived at the door of an inconspicuous house.

The prince knocked on the door, and Ciel's familiar female voice came from the door: "Come in."

The door was pushed open.

Someone is already sitting in the room.It was Sirna's mother, the noble lady who had some contempt for Ciel.

However, the lady was in a very bad condition at this time: she had a scarf on her head, covering half of her burnt hair.He was wearing a loose white robe and had bandages on his hands (presumably burns too).He was still holding a holy emblem of the Eternal Church in his hand, and kept chanting prayers for the blessings of the gods, looking a little neurasthenic.

After seeing Ciel, imperceptible resentment flashed in her eyes, but she was also a little frightened.

After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her head to Ciel.

Prince Nolen behind Charles also took off his hood and sighed.

"What's the matter?"

"Mr. Charles, last night, that monster last night was actually not a demon..." Prince Nolen sighed, as if there was an iron thorn stuck in his throat: "...that was my daughter."

"Ah...Sirna?! That's Sirna? What happened?"

"Yesterday, my wife learned that you have been teaching Sirna magic, and she was a little angry. In order to punish Sirna, she made the child stay in the bathroom and take a cold bath naked.

"Later, she felt that the punishment was not enough - because Sirna had been hiding it from her, she was lying, and according to the rules, she was severely punished, so she brought the cane and planned to teach her a lesson... Not long after the beating, Sirna Suddenly she screamed and black smoke came out around her body... She raised her hand and blew up a whole room."

Having said this, Prince Nolen glanced at his wife angrily: "Then, Sirna jumped out and caused a lot of trouble in the city - until she met you, she was driven away."

"I just want to teach that child a lesson! Why did she...I didn't hit her hard...she...sigh..." Seeing her husband staring at her, the woman suddenly panicked and tried to defend herself, but her voice became louder and louder. The smaller it becomes, the more it stops.

"Fuck." Charles was speechless.

Thinking back to the little monster he faced last night, everything made sense.

He really didn't expect that little girl Sirna actually had a talent for magic.

He didn't even expect that with the fragmented magic books he gave her, she would be able to comprehend elemental magic with such terrifying destructive power.

She was barely seven years old...she almost destroyed a small town by herself.

This magical talent is really at the level that shocks the ancients and the present.

And he actually woke up in such a bad way.

This really sucks.

Ciel really felt like he was going crazy.

Although I don't know what the black energy surrounding Sirna's body is, it is definitely not a good thing.

Looking at the silent Charles, Prince Nolen's tone also sounded pleading: "Mr. Charles, has Sirna turned into a demon? Can you save my daughter?"

"I don't know, it's probably not a demon. At least the church's runes can't hurt Sirna. She should be in a state of control now that she's been stimulated and her potential has fully exploded. Her mental instability is probably not caused by the awakening of magic. It’s more like being scared…”

Thinking of this, Charles looked at Sirna's mother: "Madam, when you hit Sirna with the cane, did you say anything to irritate her? Did Sirna say anything to you before she went crazy? ?”

"I didn't say anything that I shouldn't have said..." The mother immediately denied: "I just told her not to lie. What's wrong with that? Hilna didn't say anything. She was making a lot of noise somewhere. I... …”

"You said that Hilna 'didn't say anything' and then you said that she was 'making a noise'? Madam, I am not interrogating you or trying to convict you. I hope you can cooperate with me and at least let me know the truth. What happened! Otherwise I can’t help you, and I can’t save Sirna!”

The woman was silenced by Charles.

Seeing that her husband had no intention of defending herself, she hesitated for a long time and finally told the truth:

"...Hilna, when she was first beaten, she was angry and refused to cry, so I scolded her. She actually talked back that day, saying that she no longer wanted to be my daughter... so I hit harder... ... She made a noise and said she wanted to escape to the wild... I said a few more words to her, and she kept shouting, saying that I was going to kill her, and that she wanted to call Teacher Charles and Dad for help... and then she lost control. "

Although she spoke hesitantly, Nolen and Charles could still get a glimpse of the real situation at that time.

Both of them were speechless.

After walking out of the hut, the two men looked at each other in silence for a while.

Nolen broke the silence first:

"Mr. Charles...what should we do?"

"I don't know." Charles had no idea: "You are Sirna's father, you should know something about your daughter."

"I don't spend much time with my daughter, and her mother usually disciplines her. I'm quite busy."
