He didn't want to talk to Monroe anymore, but Monroe just drove the carriage and followed closely behind: "I'd better follow you. If you die, I can help you collect your body."

Monroe, who was originally taciturn, suddenly became talkative and good at yin and yang.

But there's nothing you can do about it. It's not a bad thing to have another top-level combatant by your side.

The two of them traveled north and passed through many countries. Along the way, they saw that riots in various places continued unabated.

Bandits composed of rioting serfs, tenant farmers, and urban laborers, and aristocratic private soldiers who looted and killed indiscriminately, were like combs, repeatedly fighting for and ravaging villages and towns everywhere.

Although the gangs are slightly less powerful, they are numerous and inexhaustible, and they appear one after another.Only manors, monasteries, and castles that are adequately guarded can be considered safe and can be used as a resting place for the two of them.

In this case, production order everywhere cannot be restored at all.If the riots continue, more people will join in the uprisings and riots, forming a vicious cycle.

What left Charles speechless the most was that Lovna had now become the spiritual leader of rioters everywhere.

Her experience in leading the uprising was spread by word of mouth in various places, and she has become a legendary figure.

In some places, the rioters even used the banner of "Red-haired Witch" and used a red-haired girl or even a red-haired old lady found from nowhere to pretend to be Lovna, pretending that they were "blessed by the saint." and leadership” to boost morale.

Many nobles and lords from various places do not know that the Holy See has captured the real witch Lovna.They searched, killed and hanged hundreds of "red-haired witches" in total.

Therefore, some places even claim that the witch is immortal.

"It's okay. Every few decades, this kind of war will break out on a large scale. Sometimes it's a war for the throne, sometimes it's heretics inciting civilians to cause trouble, and sometimes it's serf rebellion..."

Munro, who had lived for more than 300 years, was not surprised: "In the end, when enough people died, they naturally stopped. Your student Lovna was also unlucky. These places were bound to be in chaos sooner or later, but she was found by the devil. , became the trigger. Naturally, he was hated by nobles from all over the world. Our task now is to find the devil first, and leave these things alone."

"Lord Monroe, I have a question."

"Go ahead."

"Even if we are lucky enough to kill that demon, if the wars in various places still continue and there are still people making trouble under the banner of the 'Red-Haired Witch', then can Lovna still be free of guilt?"

Monroe's answer to this was: "...Find the demon first and then talk about it."

Weng and son-in-law went all the way to the northern mountains.In the dark green forest at the foot of the mountain, they dismounted, entrusted the horses to the monastery at the foot of the mountain, and walked into the deep mountains.

They tracked down the place where Lovna and the demon parted ways.

Originally, Charles thought that he would have to search hard in the huge mountainous area to find clues to the devil.

However, when he first arrived at the foot of the mountain, the magic weapon carried by Ciel had a strong reaction - indicating that there was a powerful source of power from the underworld not far away.

In the next few days, in the middle of the mountains, they discovered another group of gangsters who had just robbed villages and towns and were dividing the loot.

They forced out the information from these gangsters that "there is a group of sneaky black-robed mages in the mountains."

In the following days, they actually found several deformed and ugly monsters in the mountains. Following the clues, they found several mages from the Holy Body Training Society - they really couldn't kill them all.

Moreover, during the battle, this group of mages revealed an astonishing piece of information: "Our great organization has now reached cooperation with a divine envoy from the Netherworld. Soon, a great creation will be born, and the corrupt church will inevitably be destroyed by us." of creation destroyed.”

The divine messenger mentioned by this mage is probably the devil.

Lovna also said: "Miss Devil made a deal with a group of heretics in the northern mountains. That's when I separated from her."

This time it's all right.

After wringing off all of the mages' fingers, the men revealed the location of their temporary stronghold.

It's like playing a linear game. Every time you pass a level, you get some clues. Finally, you get the location of the boss level and start the boss battle.

Every group of enemies that Charles encounters, whether they are gangs, man-made monsters, or heretical mages, all have some fighting power, but they are not difficult to defeat.

Therefore, Ciel did not become suspicious because the trip went too smoothly.On the contrary, these small challenges constantly stimulated his urge to continue exploring in the mountains and continue to search for the devil.

It seemed that the demon he was looking for was already close in front of him.

Monroe gave his own advice: "It seems certain that this demon is most likely the guy who was once called the 'Subversary' and helped my old father create me. It is quite dangerous. Why, Xia Well, what are you going to do? Do you want to spend time going to the monastery at the foot of the mountain to ask for support from the monks and local lords? Or go directly to kill the demon?"

"...No, let's set off immediately. Even if it's a trap, it doesn't matter. Don't give those guys time to escape." Charles made his decision: "The opportunity is rare. If we let them escape, it will be troublesome to find them again. ”

As a result, the two of them broke into the base of the Eucharist Research Society - another underground palace in the mountains.

Here, Charles cooperated with Monroe and used his heavy sword to kill the enemies blocking the road.

Finally, in the underground palace, I saw the "devil lady" who had bewitched Lovna.

She was standing in the middle of a spacious underground chamber.There is nothing here, only the flickering light ball serves as lighting, illuminating the empty rectangular room as bright as day.

When he first saw her, Ciel was in a daze for a moment.

She is very similar to Lovna, but is more confident, generous and beautiful than Lovna.

Like Lovna when she grows up and matures.

"Hi, Charles!" She looked very happy, and her eyes when looking at Charles were full of joy, just like Lovna did when she saw him: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and you have finally found me."

Her voice was like a hammer, turning Ciel to stone on the spot.

Because, although Charles has only communicated with that sneaky mysterious system a few times since time travel, and the communication was all done in consciousness, he will not remember it wrong.

The voice of the demon in front of him was exactly the same as the voice of the system in his head.

95. The intention of the disruptor

When Charles came back to his senses, Monroe, who had been following him and fighting alongside him, had disappeared.

The origin of this underground secret room has also disappeared.

The secret room, which is the size of a football field, is only three or four meters high. It is surrounded by thick, waxy masonry. There are no pillars to support it, no gaps for secret doors, and not even a vent.

The light ball summoned by the devil swayed in the empty secret room, and the soft light filled the entire space.Under the illumination of these dense light sources, the shadowless interior looks a bit artificial, like an unrendered game screen.

It was like a barrier here, and he was trapped.

In this absolutely closed secret room, only he and the demon with many nicknames such as 'Subversive', 'Mother of Riots', 'Vicious Dream Weaver', and 'Galdia' were left in front of him.

I don’t know what’s going on with Monroe now.

"Don't worry, Mr. Monroe who came with you is fine. He is not here." The devil could see through his thoughts completely and said with a smile: "He is fine, and you will be fine too."

Her tone was quite familiar, as if Charles was an old friend she knew very well.

According to Lovna, this demon seemed to know everything and was familiar with everyone.This demon actually knows many past events that Lovna herself cannot remember.With just a few words, the devil can make others feel familiar at first sight - she used these skills to instigate that riot.

Moreover, Lovna also said, "When Miss Devil and I were together, she often praised you, Teacher Charles, and said that she also wanted to interview you in person. At the time, I just felt that her praise was right, but now, when I think about it, She's always scared when she gets up, I think she wants to harm you or bewitch you."

Therefore, Ciel did not take advantage of the devil.

He tried to stay calm and tried hard to think of a strategy for fighting the enemy - fighting against demons was prone to emergencies.The more critical it is, the more calm you must be, otherwise, fear and fear will become the power of the devil.

Although he didn't understand why the demon sounded so similar to the system, he couldn't express his doubts.

He secretly took out an exorcism rune from his sleeve, ready to throw it at any time.

"Char, those kinds of exorcism runes are useless." The demon noticed his actions and reminded him seriously: "That kind of runes are made using the Netherworld spells. They are just inferior products. They are only for low-level people." The creatures from the underworld are useful, and they are like mosquito bites to me now."

After saying that, the demon snapped his fingers, and the powerful runes hidden in Ciel's hand were turned into ashes.

"I hope my current appearance can make you feel friendly. Charles, I have really been fascinated by you for a long time."

The devil had a standard smile, his eyes were full of joy when he looked at him, and he still spoke politely:

"It's a pity that Lovna's child separated from me without taking me to Glory City. But it doesn't matter, you still found me anyway. Today I finally met you in person, and you are more perfect than I expected. … I really want to have a good chat with you, right here.”

"We have nothing to talk about."

"Oh, really? Don't you want to know why my voice sounds so familiar? Don't you want to rescue Lovna? ​​Don't you want to achieve your goal?" The devil turned his head and said, "I can give you all these. Your answer."

"........."

"Char, I know that you are not from our world. Your destiny has been manipulated, you have suppressed yourself, and you have never been free. I can give you the future you want, and I can help you get rid of you. Destiny manipulated by outside forces. Help you, and the people you care about, get everything they want. And I don't need you to pay any price."

"Is it the devil's temptation again? You tricked my unlucky student, and now you're trying to trick me again?"

Ciel frowned.

He didn't want to, and couldn't think too much about it.

When you are with the devil, if you are beguiled by the devil's sweet words, you are not far from death.

Although he was not sure why Monroe suddenly disappeared, his intuition told him that Monroe should be fine now.The two of them must have triggered some space transfer circle in the underground palace just now, and were sent to different places.

Therefore, you shouldn't think so much when fighting.He simply picked up the "ether", activated the spell, and used his strongest strength to launch a sweeping slash.

The swift slash was like lightning, and before the demon on the other side could say a word, he was hit by his heavy sword.

Ciel clearly felt that he had indeed hit something.

He could even feel the feel of the front end of the sword splitting flesh and shattering bones.

However, what he saw and felt was different - the sword did not strike the demon in front of him.The sword blade swung straight through her body, like cutting through river water with a knife, leaving no trace.

"Char, you can't activate the true power of this weapon at all. You can't hurt me. Let's get down to business - although I don't know which world you come from, I have calculated your fate.

"I'm sure that the guy who summoned you to this world is also a creature from the underworld, and is probably an angel. That's why its voice is like mine, directly penetrating the soul, making you feel extremely familiar and trustworthy . But angels can lie."

The devil continued: "Let me guess: it probably gives you some specious task, sets some ethereal rewards for you, and encourages you to complete it. But in fact, it is tempting you step by step and prompting you to complete it. You go down the road of self-sacrifice. He is a liar, I am the one who is absolutely honest."

Her words really frightened Ciel.

After all, he himself had long doubted the existence of the system.

Yes, the system, that weird thing, would always appear at the most unexpected moments after he traveled through time, leaving behind a few vague fragments of information, giving him some vague and chaotic revelations... and then disappearing again.

Obviously the revelation it gave was so false, but he was still willing to move in the direction pointed by that guy.

This is really unreasonable.

"Angel……"

"Yes, angels are a bunch of bastards who do the will of Heavenly Father and are liars who can lie at will. Charles, you were deceived by them by tampering with your memory and cognition." The devil said with a distressed expression: "So, Please let me help you regain your freedom."

A thought appeared in Charles's mind and began to spread unconsciously:

"What this demon said...maybe is right.

"I forgot my name before time travel, and the faces of my family members in my memory were also blurred. After arriving in the world of Yalan, I received the instructions from the system. It was like mosquitoes at night seeing the only flickering light source in the darkness, and they fought hard regardless of their own safety. Flying towards the location of the light.

"Actually, I have never cared about the bounty given by the system, getting rewards, fulfilling wishes... I shouldn't care about these things.

"What does shit like the future queen have to do with me? As long as Hilna can live happily, what kind of queen should I be? Is it necessary? Who cares about the system? Is fate really unchangeable? What the hell have I been doing all these years? Why should I listen to the criticism of that system? Why? Has my perception really been tampered with?"

These thoughts and questions were growing uncontrollably in his mind like cancer, almost occupying his entire mind.

He almost put down the heavy sword in his hand.

When he thought of this, Ciel controlled his emotions, thinking that this was the devil's gibberish, and that he was confused - after all, he had heard in his past training that the devil could always tell something specious through prophecies. If it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, use rhetoric to make people self-doubt or even self-destruct.

Never communicate with demons.

Their words must not be taken seriously.

No matter what they say, you can't trust it, let alone think too much about it.

Empty your mind and just kill.

"Shut up," he cursed, and then slashed at the demon in front of him.

The heavy sword struck from above, and this blow was even more severe than the one just now. Ciel could clearly feel the shock coming from his hand.

His heavy sword should be packed with magical power and split the enemy in front of him in half.

But what the naked eye could see was that the demon was still unscathed.

"I can't lie, Charles. I never lie to anyone."

The devil repeated, his tone a little impatient: "I value you very much. The reason why I got close to that child of Lovna is also to meet you. Because I feel that you are the promoter of the future, and I hope to be with you Reach cooperation.”

"...What kind of cooperation?" Seeing that the attack was fruitless, he leaned on his heavy sword, pretended to be tired and gave up, and showed an interested look: "...tell me."

The devil was very happy to see him surrender:

"It's very simple. You make a wish to me. Whatever the wish is, I can use the contract to give you all my power, and you can become the strongest person. Then, you will be omnipotent. You also You can capture me after losing my strength and hand it over to the Holy See, and let them execute me directly, and then you can rescue your Lovna, and I won’t ask you for any price. How about it, it’s a good deal, right?”

"What are you talking about?" Charles almost laughed at her nonsense tone: "I made a wish for you to die now, are you willing too?"

"Of course." She nodded and looked at Charles seriously: "As long as it is your wish, I can help you realize it."

She stared at Ciel with her big, beautiful eyes full of expectation.

In a daze, Ciel almost thought of her as Lovna who was "willing to give everything to Teacher Ciel".
