"What are you busy with? Are you looking for a wife outside?"
"It's hunting bandits, receiving merchants, negotiating with neighboring countries... these are all business matters." Prince Nolen was a little embarrassed: "I haven't had a wife for many years."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this... Your Highness Nolen, what do you expect to do now?"
"Find Sirna and see if we can make her return to normal. It's best not to let others know the truth. If others know that it was Sirna who caused trouble last night, the consequences will be disastrous."
"Too."
Charles agreed: "If we want to find Sirna, we can only rely on the two of us."
10.The girl looking for the devil
Teacher Ciel became the hero who defeated the devil!
The news immediately spread in the church school.
Because that night, the monster caused too much damage.
It can breathe fire, spit water, and summon thunder, almost blowing up the capital of the small country of Ipoli.
The adults all said that it was a demon that had escaped from hell.
Some parents of children in the school were also affected by the disaster, and some children even saw the fire that burned in the city that day.
Everyone was terrified.
As a hero who was commended by the king himself for driving away the monster with a steel fork, Teacher Charles's great deeds naturally spread.
Lovna also experienced the feeling of being noticed for the first time.
After all, that night, she stood on the edge of the city and watched with her own eyes the entire process of Ciel's battle against the "devil".
She exaggerated what she saw that day using her limited vocabulary and told it over and over again in front of other students.
She described Ciel as a mythical hero, boasting of his victory over demons.
Of course, the next day, after Lovna was driven home by Charles, she was caught and beaten by her mother. Of course, she did not say anything.
The classmates also envied Lovna and were in awe of Teacher Charles.
Unfortunately, Teacher Charles has not come to the church school since that day.
He and Prince Nolen took on the task of hunting down the demon, and are now collecting intelligence everywhere to find traces of the monster.
This relieved the child who had been naughty in math class, but also disappointed Lovna.
Because she claimed to have seen Teacher Ciel perform magic with her own eyes, and also boasted that she and Teacher Ciel faced the devil together.There was no evidence for this, and many children suspected that she was lying.
She desperately hoped that Teacher Charles would show up and testify for her.
But Teacher Charles didn't show up again for several weeks.
Several children who had learned the inside story claimed that they knew where Mr. Charles was.
Because they found out from the merchants who were resting in the city that recently, a "little devil" appeared in the large swamp in the south of Ipoli. It was covered in black and usually hid in the swamp.If someone passes by the swamp and is seen by it, they will be targeted and robbed.
However, this little devil is not smart, and he only steals food when he robs.
For example, the unlucky merchant brought the goods to Iboli for sale by carriage.
When passing through a large swamp, the carriage was blown into the swamp by a strong wind caused by the little devil.
The merchant beat his chest, thinking that he was going to lose money, but unexpectedly, the carriage was sent back by a gust of wind, but the white bread and ham in the carriage were gone.None of the bags containing gold or silver coins were lost.
It can be seen that the demon is very stupid and only picks and robs food.
"Wow, this devil is so stupid. He didn't know he could buy more food after taking the money."
"You are stupid. The devil has robbed the money, and it has no way to go to the city to spend money. Now the devil hides when it sees Teacher Charles. Teacher Charles and Prince Nolen know that it is hiding in the Everglades, so they all go to the Great Swamp. I have searched for it several times, but every time I can’t catch the devil, it shows that it is very timid, and it was scared after being beaten by Teacher Charles!”
However, the children are not worried about the devil coming back, because even if Teacher Charles can't catch the devil, it will be fine.
The adults all said that the presence of demons in Ipoli has been reported to the higher-level church through the local priest.
Immediately, the Eternal Church sent the legendary paladin to help eliminate the demon.
That demon is dead.
The child who got the news from the merchant and the first child who heard that the Paladin was coming to Ipoli replaced Lovna and became the new focus.
Lovna, on the other hand, was a little anxious. Some children already said that she was bragging, saying that Teacher Charles actually didn't know her at all and that she was lying to gain attention.
She desperately needed to do something now to prove that she was telling the truth.
how should I do it?
The demon seemed to be hiding in the large swamp area in the south. It would only come out of the swamp area when robbing food.
The Great Swamp is a quiet place covered with reeds. Under the clear lake is silt, soft and wet soil. Even the most experienced traders will stay away from this terrifying no-man's land.
Adults always tell their children not to get close to the dark swamp, because every year countless people are deceived by the calm lake and eventually swallowed by the endless mud.
It really fits the character that the devil hides in that kind of place.
Lovna thought for a long time, and she came up with an idea, which was to lure out the monster with food.Lure out the monster, see its true appearance, and then find Teacher Charles and tell him the news you have learned. This will help Teacher Charles and get praise.
Yes, that was her whole plan.
In the early hours of a weekend, she woke up.He secretly hid the bread for breakfast in his clothes and pretended to have finished eating.
When she walked out of the door, she secretly took a piece of cheese that her mother had made last night, wrapped them together in a cloth, and then she set off.
The mother and maid who were busy milking the cows didn't pay attention. They all thought that Lovna was going out to play.
After all, he was a child, and the Everglades area was a bit far from the city.
She walked for a long time and wanted to give up many times, but as soon as she recalled the scene of Teacher Ciel fighting the devil and other students of the same age mocking her for being a big liar, she gained motivation again.
Relying on her innate high energy, she ran and danced all morning.Along the way, she secretly lay down behind a hay carriage to rest for a while.
She continued walking for more than half an hour in the afternoon, and after noon, she finally arrived around the swamp.
Looking at the endless reeds in front of her and the land cut into pieces by lakes and streams, she felt troubled.
I couldn't help but eat half of the food I brought because I was hungry on the way.
I wonder if the remaining bread crumbs and cheese cubes can attract the devil.
"Uh..." At this time, Lovna also realized the flaw in her plan.
As a little girl, she had no ability to find an elusive monster in this almost endless swamp.
"Mr. Devil?" She raised her hands into a trumpet shape and shouted towards the swamp: "I brought cheese, do you want to eat it?"
“Anyone want some cheese?”
"My mom made the cheese herself! It's delicious!"
There was no echo from the swamp.
Lovna also realized that she was a little stupid.
She sighed and took out the rest of the food, intending to finish it before going home - she had missed lunch and her mother would probably spank her again.
But just as she was about to stuff the piece of cheese into her mouth, a gust of wind suddenly caught her eyes.Just as she squinted her eyes, another strange wind blew her to the ground.
She just screamed and hurriedly got up, only to find that the piece of cheese that almost reached her mouth was gone.
"My cheese! Who touched my cheese?"
She looked around in panic, but there was no one around.
The only response she received was the cold wind blowing from the swamp.
The wind howled, as if laughing at her classmates.
"Forget it, I still have some bread crumbs." She couldn't find the cheese, so she had no choice but to give up. She shrugged pretending not to care, and took out some dry and hard bread crumbs from the gauze bag, planning to make it as a snack.
But there was a strange wind, which directly lifted the gauze in her hand.Now she could see clearly that her food had been blown into the swamp by the wind.
"Mine!" She didn't have time to react and threw herself at the food flying into the sky.
But she forgot how dangerous the swamp ahead of her was.
Under those shallow lakes, the deep, soft silt layer can easily swallow countless lives and even drown an elephant.
After falling into the lake, she instinctively wanted to prop up her body in the water, but in panic, she found that her hands were unable to use her strength.The mud was like an invisible hand, pulling her, pulling her deeper into the lake.
Lovna wanted to call out, but she choked several times.
Her body sank deeper and deeper into the mud layer, and she was about to become one of the countless lives swallowed by the swamp.
But at this moment, another force lifted her up from the cold lake water.
Lovna, who was covered in black mud, didn't care so much. She coughed up a lot of water violently, then rubbed her head and looked around.
She saw a small man wrapped in black mist.
This little man was shorter and thinner than her.
It stood on the lake, but did not sink due to the mud under its feet.This guy was tilting his head, grabbing the piece of cheese, and while looking at Lovna, he stuffed the cheese into his head (probably where his mouth was).
Lovna could still hear the sound of it chewing.
"..."
After a brief moment of daze, the image of the little man shrouded in black mist in front of him perfectly overlapped with the monster he saw at the city gate that night.
Lovna realized that her plan had really worked.
"Devil!" she cried.
The guy chewing cheese was stunned for a moment.
"I'm not a devil." It actually spoke, still in a thin female voice.
"You've killed so many people and you still say you're not a devil? And you even stole my cheese!"
"I didn't mean it that day..." Her voice was a little depressed: "You just said that you brought cheese and asked if anyone wanted to eat cheese... Moreover, I saved you when you fell into the water just now. You."
"You saved me?"
"correct."
The little monster raised his hand and suddenly let out a strange murmur.As it whispered, a large stone surfaced directly from the calm swamp lake, as if it was picked up by a giant hand, and then casually thrown to the shore, splashing a pile of mud.
"Just like this." It explained: "You just fell into the water, and then I dragged you out of the water like this."
"Oh." Lovna understood: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." This monster was also very polite.
silence.
Lovna looked at this weird little man suspiciously - his whole body was hidden in the black mist, his voice was like a little girl's, and he was reasonable.
She couldn't help but ask: "You are not a devil? Then what are you?"
"..." The monster hesitated for a long time, as if he didn't want to answer.
"My name is Lovna." Seeing that the other party was unwilling to speak, Lovna introduced herself first: "I am Mr. Charles's student, a future magician who will learn magic from him and accompany him to slay demons! "
These are the personas she made up for herself.
"Mr. Charles? Are you also a student of Mr. Charles? Do you know how to do magic?" The monster suddenly became excited, but suddenly frightened and looked around in panic: "Is Teacher Charles nearby?"
"No, I came alone." Lovna was very confident: "Because I want to prove my ability to the teacher, and I want to catch the devil alone! Look, why don't I use cheese to lure you out now? Yet?"
"But I'm not a devil. You caught the wrong one."
"If you're not a demon, then who are you? I've already introduced myself, and you should also tell me your name."
"...My name is Hilna von Yppoli." She sighed, and the black mist covering her body slowly dissipated, revealing her dirty face and tattered luxurious shirt.
"Silna..." Lovna seemed to have remembered something.
She seemed to have heard this name somewhere.
And the other person's last name - "Ipoli".
