Fiya got up from the chair formed by the power of space, and at the same time hid the two alchemy books with the hand of space behind her.Renee was on Prince Shane's side, so she couldn't reveal that she had lost her memory of magic.

Her brain was running fast, and Fia was paying attention to Renee's every move. Although Renee had come out of the darkness, her gloomy impression had not diminished in the slightest. Her expressionless face had even become darker because of the moonlight. Even more creepy.

Silently stalking himself... Could it be that he wants to assassinate?

Indeed, when the elf princess goes out alone, it is the best chance for assassination, but doesn't Renee know that her strength is far inferior to her own?As long as she is not a fool, she can understand from the daytime battle that her strength is not at the same level as her own.

Fia frowned slightly.

Showing hostility without authorization will make you look like you have no style. It is more appropriate to see what Renee is going to do and then adapt accordingly. Anyway, Renee is not my opponent anyway.

Getting ready, Fia waited for Renee's reaction.

The only sound left in the air was the rustle of footsteps, as if any extra sound would cause tension to explode.

It was only a few meters away, but it seemed extremely long.

Finally, Renee walked up to Fia.

Without warning, she suddenly lowered her head and knelt down on one knee.

"See Her Royal Highness, I almost exposed your identity during the day, I'm very sorry! Renee... Even if Renee apologizes with death, it can't make up for this negligence!"

Ok?

Expose your identity?Want to apologize with death?What is this doing?

Fia was stunned for a moment.

If Fia hadn't had enough self-control just now, she would have thought that Renee bent down to attack her, but it ended up like this.

Whether it is Renee's deeply bowed head, or her tone full of sincerity and guilt, they are completely opposite to the annoying Renee in the daytime. The same as Anastasia—no, Renee's "slavery" is heavier and more intense.

Of course Renee didn't know what was going on in Fia's heart. She swallowed hard without getting an answer from Fia. Then, as if remembering something, her whole body trembled like being struck by lightning. She quickly changed from kneeling on one knee to knees, No, it was in a five-body prostration posture. The whole person was lying on the ground, with his forehead tightly pressed against the toe of Fia's shoe, for fear that he would not be able to convey his loyalty to Fia.

There was no seriousness in her voice, but it was replaced by extreme fear and fear, so that her body trembled.

"No, I didn't use the title you repeatedly asked! Lord Thanatos, please forgive Renee's crime!"

"……Aha?"

From Xiaoqiao's mouth came a cute cry that only she could hear, and Fia tilted her head subtly.

Chapter 9 Puzzling Answers

How is this going?

Question marks popped up in Fia's head. She can be sure that in all the other world books she has read, including the names she heard from Anastasia and Liti, there has never been "Thanatos" If this person had to look for an existence similar to "Thanatos", then there was only one result in her mind, and that was the person named "Thanatos" in the Greek mythology circulated in the ancient times of the Human Alliance. grim Reaper.

Not only that, Renee's pronunciation when reading the words "Thanatos" is more inclined to the Human Alliance language that Fia is familiar with than Silval's Elvish language.

But just knowing this is not going to help the situation.Why did Renee call herself Thanatos, and also show a lowly attitude like a servant?Isn't she from Prince Shane's faction, who belongs to Earl Reinhardt's family?

For a moment, the guess that Renee was actually the eyeliner placed by the elf princess popped into Fia's mind.Renee said just now, "Your identity was almost exposed during the daytime", and during the daytime she has always shown herself as an elf princess, which means that Renee did not admit the wrong person, and the Thanatos she mentioned was indeed named Dophy The existence of Leah Alexia Usher.

However, what puzzled Fia was, if Renee was the eyeliner placed by the elf princess, why would Anastasia not know Renee's identity?

If it was out of the desire not to expose Renee, Anastasia and Renee's tit-for-tat confrontation during the day could be justified. However, Anastasia did not mention Renee's informant at all in the house arranged by the village chief. Not only that, Anastasia also said in front of her face that Renee would be the second group of people to be assassinated after Prince Xia Yin, which is puzzling.

You know, there was no one else in that room except herself and Liti, so there was no need for Anastasia to hide it from Liti.If Renee was really the eyeliner of the elf princess, even if Anastasia hadn't named her directly, she would have revealed some news that Renee was the eyeliner, at least she wouldn't have put Renee on the assassination list.

Staring at Renee, whose forehead was pressed against her toes, Fia's brain was racing.

Renee's performance can no longer be called a servant, it is more appropriate to describe it as a "slave". If she is not dreaming, then there is only one possibility.

——That is, Renee is the elf princess's eyeliner around Earl Reinhardt, and she is a deeply hidden informant that even Anastasia doesn't know about.

This possibility is not impossible. Fia didn't know what kind of feelings the elf princess had for Anastasia before. She only knew that Anastasia had no second thoughts about the elf princess.If the elf princess doesn't tell Anastasia everything, then the guess that Renee is a dark thread is established. After all, the elf princess in the past was a facial paralysis who didn't like to express her feelings, so it is understandable to have secrets in her heart.

But even so, Fia couldn't trust Renee just like that.If he could gain his trust just by relying on words and actions, then he would be too easy to deceive.

The countermeasure that should be taken at the moment is to first see Renee's reaction and purpose.I don't know Renee's background, even if Renee is the eyeliner placed by the elf princess, no one can guarantee Renee's absolute loyalty to him, in case she is actually instigated by Prince Xia Yin, or Prince Xia Yin is from the beginning People who are now just pretending to obey the elf princess, arbitrarily believing that her self will fall into a delicate position.

In any case, Renee cannot be trusted as absolutely as Anastasia.Let’s not reveal the fact that I have lost my memory. If Renee is the informant placed by the elf princess earlier, then it is definitely the best choice to continue following Renee’s script.

Having made a decision in her mind, Fiya settled down, maintained the paralyzed expression that an elf princess should have, and took a small step back.

"stand up."

Even the voice became less emotionally charged.

Hearing Fia's extremely indifferent tone, Renee's body trembled, but she still followed Fia's order and got up timidly.

"Okay... okay."

Fia asked while observing Renee without any trace.

"You said just now that you almost exposed my identity during the day—"

"Renee deserves to die!"

Before Fia finished speaking, Renee suddenly knelt down on one knee again, and Fia almost couldn't help taking a step back.

While Fiya adjusted her heart, Renee also hurriedly took out a neatly folded black dress from the storage props, and offered it to Fiya with her head lowered.

"Not only did you fall into the hands of the enemy, but you were also asked to rescue me personally, showing your embarrassing appearance in front of others. After, after your righteousness is completed, Renee will apologize with death! Please also take back your clothes. If you are killed by Irene Master Slate knows that I am wearing your clothes, she...she will definitely strip me alive!"

Erin Slate?Who is that?

However, seeing Renee's terrified expression, he might be a very scary person. Fia guessed that although Renee's words made the puzzle more complicated, it explained what she meant by "exposed identity".That is, she was caught by the robber and the two men in black, which "caused" him to rescue her, and "almost exposed his identity".

As for Renee's "complete righteousness", Fiya really didn't know what it meant. If this was something Renee made up to deceive her, she would have to sigh, Renee's imagination is really rich.

After thinking over and over again, she stared at Renee's eyes with extremely serious eyes, not letting go of any trace of emotion.

"Look me in the eyes, Renee."

"Yes……"

Although Renee's light green eyes were full of fear, Renee still looked up into Fia's eyes.

"In your eyes, who am I?"

This question is very important. It can not only explain what Renee is doing, but also tell herself through Renee's mouth, "What kind of person am I?" and what to do next.What's more, this kind of answer, which you know immediately is testing loyalty, will not make Renee suspicious.

However, to Fia's surprise, Renee replied with reverence in her eyes without even thinking about it.

"It is the leader who leads us to complete righteousness. The gods... no, it is 'the sky is dead', the gods can no longer give their believers salvation, the dial of the world is disrupted, and the darkborn will unite with Chaos. We can only rely on ourselves , to survive from the apocalypse, and you are the god who led us to defeat the dark and chaos—no, you are the supreme one far above the gods, and the gods sent down the oracle only a few decades ago, and you Decades ago, you predicted the apocalypse, and your profundity will never be matched by us!"

Renee's tone was so excited that she was like a fanatic. She clasped her fingers and praised Fia fanatically. She was completely different from Renee who was disgusting during the day.

If this is also Renee's acting skills... the position of the vice-captain of the fifth regiment of the Imperial Guard is too inferior.

If Fia hadn't been cautious enough, she would have believed that Renee was not lying—a liar is not a fool, and she wouldn't say stupid things that even a fool wouldn't say.If Renee wants to deceive herself, at least she has to make up some more tangible and believable content. The current words are simply a patient with an overdose in the second class, um, no, the name Thanatos itself is very subtle, the elf Is the princess like this?

A big question mark was drawn in her heart, and Fiya became embarrassed.

If Renee said something normal, she could handle it freely, but now according to Renee's description, her identity in Renee's eyes is probably the savior who saves the world, and she can even predict the apocalypse earlier than the gods... It's hard to believe Understand, if the elf princess really had that kind of power, she wouldn't fall for the trick of the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis and be hit by the unsinkable moon.

What's more, listening to Renee's tone, "He is the leader who leads us to accomplish righteousness", and there is the word "we" in it. Could it be that there is an unknown organization under the Elf Princess?

Incredible too.

Leaving aside the fact that the Elf King is not a fool, it is impossible for the Elf Princess to have a secret organization under his command. Secondly, how to hide from the world and build an organization without Anastasia knowing, Fia could not think of a feasible plan at all. You know, Anastasia Ya Ke would run to check after a while to see if she was the type to lie down and sleep in the carriage.

Everything made Fiya not know where to start complaining. This feeling is like a big watermelon in front of a person without hands, unable to speak.She thinks that Renee should be believed, but she also thinks that Renee should not be trusted. It is amazing that two completely opposite ideas can appear in the same person at the same time.

"You...what's the matter with you?"

Fia's expression of frowning and thinking made Renee look nervous. She thought that Fia was dissatisfied with her answer.

Fia held out her hand, palm facing Renee.

"No, nothing."

Although Fiya wants to ask "What is the organization?", "How many people are there?", "How strong is it?", "When did it start?", but these questions will reveal themselves, and Fiya can only Keep silent.Renee's expression does not seem to be fake, and at present she can only adopt the attitude of trusting her, but not completely trusting her.

Unless Fia saw the organization in person, or Renee could do anything for Fia, Fia couldn't believe what Renee said.

Renee's loyalty needs to be confirmed.

The easiest way to confirm loyalty is to order Renee to die. There is no way to confirm whether Renee is loyal to him or not. However, this order can easily make loyal people become half-hearted. Giving reasonable grounds to convince Renee that he ordered her to die was not a test of her loyalty.

Kneeling down and licking^^'s feet can show servility, but servility is not the same as loyalty, and that level can't make Fia feel at ease.

After much deliberation, Fiya didn't think about how to deal with it. She lacked too much information, and no one could complete the puzzle without the puzzle pieces.

"My lord Thanatos, why did you come to the Kingdom of Alfredge so quietly?"

While Fias was thinking back and forth, Renee, who was still kneeling on one knee, asked, her face was full of puzzlement, without any seriousness.

Because I lost my memory, I deliberately lengthened the time to go back so that I could learn magic on the way—this is a normal answer.Facing Renee, obviously this cannot be said.In order not to let Renee see the clue, Fiya turned around pretending to be profound. Anyway, according to Renee's character design, the elf princess secretly looked paralyzed and indifferent, which just saved a lot of trouble.

She remembered the speech that Estier had promised to spread the news of the unity of Chaos and Darkin.In terms of Apocalypse, the information Renee said matches what Fia found out, so what Renee said should be the truth.As a comparison, Estier and Anastasia didn't know that the Darkborn would join forces with Chaos, and Renee said that the Darkborn would join forces with Chaos. This is definitely not information that Renee, the deputy captain, can grasp. Proof of Renee's credibility.

Fia considered her speech and spoke slowly.

"The Darkborn and Chaos have united. Neither the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis nor the Principality of Bart have escaped."

"Mi, the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis and the Duchy of Bart were destroyed?!"

"No." Fia denied Renee's exclamation. "The disaster in the Holy Kingdom of Milkandis ended before it even started. As for the Principality of Bart, although it was a step late, the disaster did not expand."

"Ah...that's right, since the eldest princess——since Lord Thanatos has arrived, it's normal for the disaster to be resolved. After all, even Lord Irene Slett bows down under your skirt... May I ask the tower?" Who is the Darkborn that Lord Natos solved? We will cross their names off the list. Is it the level of the loose flower demon? Or the level of the three-headed siren?"

Under the skirt?

Fia frowned, and she continued to answer calmly.

"Moon Dragon Ladrick, and Demon General of Despair."

"Extremely, Desperate Demon General?!"

Renee's voice was so high that it seemed to shatter glass, and Fia felt that Renee's voice had reached the village above the valley.

"You eliminated the Demon General of Despair? That Demon General of Despair known for his cunning?!"

"Exactly, but that's not the point. The point is that the Demon General of Despair used the power of chaos to massacre the entire city of Oro."

"Ugh." Renee's excitement stopped abruptly, and her face turned sour, "Olo City is one of the largest cities in the Principality of Bart, and a city of that size can only be destroyed by using at least the eighth-level magic. Desperation The recorded strength of the Demon General is only the sixth rank. The combination of Darkborn and Chaos can be so strong... After returning, he must report to Lord Irene Sletter. No wonder Lord Thanatos took the initiative to report to His Majesty The purpose of applying to the Holy Nation of Milkandis is to stop the dark descendants..."

Even though Renee didn't act like she was lying, Fia couldn't help imagining the image of Renee secretly laughing at herself.If these dialogues were Renee's acting skills, tonight would definitely become a stain on my life, and I would have to tear Renee's body to pieces to relieve my hatred. Of course, Renee who can say such embarrassing lines is also very remarkable.

Fia raised a hand to signal Renee behind her to shut up.

"That's the end of my business, Renee, why did you get caught by a group of robbers, and what is the task entrusted to you by your father?"

"Uh..." Renee's breath was stagnant, shame appeared on her face, she lowered her head deeply, not daring to look at Fia's back, "I, I missed. The mission was originally given to Count Reinhardt by His Majesty, Let Count Reinhardt investigate the situation in the northern border of the Alfred Kingdom, because I volunteered to Count Reinhardt on my own initiative, and Mrs. Irene Sletter secretly coordinated, so Count Reinhardt handed over the task in my hand."

"Your Majesty's investigation into the northern border of the Alfred Kingdom is to swallow the Baron Kesa in the northern border of the Alfred Kingdom into Heliwal. Some time ago, Baron Kesa sent a secret letter to His Majesty, hoping that he can become Heliwal A member of Val, as a meeting gift, he will give the entire territory to His Majesty. Your Majesty wants to know whether Baron Kesa is cheating him. If not, I will evaluate the value of Baron Kesa. If Baron Keza If understanding becomes a burden to the empire, then there is no need to accept it."

"The results of it?"

It turned out that the purpose of the investigation was to annex the territory.

If that's the case, it's no surprise that it's top secret.

Renee's tone became difficult to speak.

"The result is that I was still in the process of evaluating, and I accidentally searched for clues about the dark man. The mysterious dark man who is as famous as the absolute evil seems to want to do something here, but just as I traced it, he fell into the enemy's trap." A trap. The two men in black robes you saw this morning are the second person who set up the trap. I was eager for quick success and fell into the enemy's trap, please Lord Thanatos punish me!"

Punishment?

Fia frowned slightly.

This just gave him the opportunity to test her.

Just take this opportunity to tie up Renee and let her jump off the cliff by herself. If she passes, you can trust Renee.

Chapter 10 Arriving at the border

"Not only eager for quick success, but also almost exposed the identity of Mr. Thanatos. It is a matter of course to meet death. Mr. Thanatos allowed me to disappear in such a gentle way. I should thank Mr. Thanatos..."

On the steep cliff, Renee, whose hands and feet were tied with ropes, took a deep breath. Although her expression was a little timid, it was more determined.

What she didn't know was that Fiya was actually standing beside her, but because of the disguise of Yunyue in Huanhai, she thought that Fiya had left.

Seeing Renee like this, she must have jumped off the cliff without even thinking about it. Watching Renee's every move, Fia thought so in her heart.After Renee asked for punishment, Fia took advantage of the situation and asked Renee to apologize with death.This is the test that Fia gave Renee. If Renee is unwilling to do it, then Renee is not trustworthy. If Renee really implements it, it means that Renee is indeed loyal.

In order to convince Renee that as long as she jumps, she will definitely die, Fia first used "food creation" to secretly make stone-like food, cut it into small pieces the size of a pill, and handed it to Renee, falsely claiming that it was Poison, let Renee swallow it.Then he brought Renee to this cliff with a drop of more than a kilometer, and ordered her to jump off the cliff by herself, while Fia left by "flying", pretending not to be there.
