You want to make me the devil, right?

“Uncle, are you saying that the darkness I can't even adjudicate is because there might be a powerful dark soul residing within him?”

Aurelia asked a middle-aged knight.

“Yes.”

The middle-aged knight stroked his chin and said seriously, “There's also a possibility that the power of that person's soul is above yours.”

“But from your description, the other party is just a student of Saint Hua Magic Academy, and his strength is far inferior to yours.”

“So, the only reason is that a dark soul resides within him!”

“I see!”

Her uncle's explanation made Aurelia's eyes flash.

She really hadn't thought of this possibility. If there really was a dark soul residing within Shane, then everything would make sense!

After all, her Justice Adjudication was aimed at Shane.

And if it couldn't affect the existence within Shane's body, naturally it couldn't dissipate the enveloping darkness.

“There's another possibility, but the probability is extremely small.”

The middle-aged knight continued in a deep voice, “The person you mentioned is the new Demon King prophesied by the great prophet.”

“But I heard from those nobles that the Demon King has already resurrected the Succubus Queen and awakened the Red Dragon Queen.”

“So, he shouldn't be in the royal city.”

“After all, if the Demon King wants to restore his dynasty, how could he do it under our noses?”

“He must be looking for a remote place, such as the Black Night Forest or other border regions.”

“Even after the Demon King falls, those places still have demons wandering around, and a bunch of the Demon King's old subordinates.”

“That's the most suitable area for the Demon King to develop.”

“Yes, Uncle is right.” Aurelia nodded in agreement.

The royal city of the Dawn Empire is one of the seven core cities of the Eria Continent.

Together with the Elven Forest of the Elven Kingdom, the Holy City of Light of the Radiant Church, and others, it plays a vital role in the war against the Demon King!

It can be called the City of Justice ordained by the gods!

A place where light shines!

How could it allow darkness to run rampant and develop silently?

“Speaking of which, the Dawn Empire is organizing an army to advance into the Black Night Forest.” The middle-aged knight suddenly said again, “If you want to train, I can sign you up.”

“I still have extremely important things to deal with. Maybe after a while.” Aurelia said.

“Okay, next time then.”

The middle-aged knight nodded, not saying anything more.

At this moment, a family knight said to Aurelia, “Miss Aurelia, there are two people looking for you.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Aurelia nodded slightly, then stood up and said, “Thank you for your explanation, Uncle.”

……

“I didn't expect we'd actually get in…”

Sylvie looked at the buildings in the Yellman Castle in amazement, her beautiful eyes flashing with disbelief.

Shane ignored the lively Sylvie and fell into thought.

He was wondering if the Golden Holy Medicine would work on him.

And Aurelia needs to bathe every few days, otherwise it will cause abnormalities in her body.

This should be because her body has become dependent on the Golden Holy Medicine. After all, Aurelia has been soaking in it since she was a child.

And he has only soaked in it a few times, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Or maybe…

Perhaps, the Golden Holy Medicine will have no effect on him?

“You've come.”

Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Aurelia's figure appeared in front of Shane.

“A-A-A-Aurelia-sama!”

When Sylvie saw Aurelia, she was nervous and excited, and her eyes sparkled with admiration.

“Sylvie Knight?”

Aurelia was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Sylvie to come with Shane. She thought it would be Tishia.

“Aurelia-sama, I'm… I'm…” Sylvie didn't know how to explain why she came to the Yellman family castle.

“She's escorting me.” Shane then interjected, “The enforcement knights of the Dawn Empire have a good virtue of being helpful.”

“Yes! That's right!”

Sylvie nodded vigorously, “I'm escorting him! Mages have delicate bodies and need the protection of us knights!”

“I see.” Aurelia nodded lightly, a hint of approval flashing in her eyes. “Well done, Sylvie Knight. You have perfectly inherited the noble virtues of a knight.”

“Thank you! Thank you for your recognition, Aurelia-sama!” Sylvie bowed deeply, her heart surging.

“Please come with me.”

Aurelia then led the two into the core area of the Yellman Castle.

Along the way, Shane observed the structure of the Yellman Castle.

This ancient castle is extremely heavily guarded.

Every wall brick is engraved with magical runes, and the city walls are also equipped with heavy crossbows and cannons, making the entire castle impregnable.

And this is only the outer defense.

There must be many magic arrays inside to protect it, in order to deal with magical bombardment.

After a while, Aurelia led the two to the reception room of the Yellman family castle.

The maids brought black tea and desserts for them to enjoy.

“Delicious! Delicious!”

Sylvie tasted the desserts, her face full of joy.

Shane quietly drank his tea, not interested in the sweet cake.

“My lady…”

At this moment, a maid whispered in Aurelia's ear.

“Yes, okay.”

Aurelia nodded slightly, then said to Sylvie, “Sylvie Knight, Shane and I have important matters to discuss. Can you wait here for us for a while?”

“Okay!”

Sylvie nodded vigorously.

“Let's go.”

Aurelia then led the way, leaving the reception room with Shane.

After everyone had left, Sylvie turned her attention to the portrait of Aurelia hanging in the reception room!

“Aurelia-sama! So handsome!”

“When will I be able to become a knight who can stand alone like her!”

“The cake is so delicious~”

……

After Shane left the reception room, he temporarily separated from Aurelia.

Under the guidance of the maid, he came to a room similar to a changing room.

At the end of the changing room, there was a magnificent golden door.

“Mr. Shane, inside is Miss Aurelia's private bath. Please change your clothes before entering.”

After saying that, the maid handed over a bath towel.

“Okay.”

Shane took the bath towel, but the maid didn't leave.

This made him feel puzzled.

He said, “I'm going to take off my clothes.”

“Yes, take them off. I'll help you tidy up your clothes.” The maid said calmly, her eyes seemingly without any waves.

?

Shane didn't say anything more and directly took off his clothes.

The next second when the Demon King's treasure was revealed, the maid instantly widened her eyes and froze in place.

“Then I'll leave these clothes to you.” Shane wrapped the bath towel around his waist, then stepped into the bath.

When he pushed open the door, what came into view was a steaming bath.

The environment of the bath was like a hot spring, surrounded by rockeries and green plants.

“It's quite luxurious…”

Shane murmured, then looked at the pool water emitting a light golden light.

This bath not only glows, but also exudes a rich fragrance.

Obviously, the so-called Golden Holy Medicine has been added to it.

“I wonder if it will have any effect on me.”

Shane said, stepping directly into the golden bath.

The moment his skin touched the bathwater infused with the Golden Holy Medicine, instantly, an indescribable electric shock swept through his body!

If you use one word to describe it, it would be—so refreshing!

“I didn't expect it to be quite comfortable!”

Shane exclaimed in disbelief. He only felt as if electricity was flowing through the bath, allowing his muscles to constantly receive electrotherapy!

And this subtle electric shock allowed the Demon King's treasure to receive a special charge!

Slowly awakening!

“Wonderful~”

Shane smiled lightly, then sat in the bath.

Just as he sat down, the door of the bath slowly opened again, and a graceful figure wrapped in a snow-white bath towel stepped into the bathroom…
