Chapter 3 Dark
"Celebrity?" Alice asked with some understanding.
"No, but it's almost the same." I have nothing to hide, "because it's not very compatible with this world, I can only simply influence his senses and make him think that I am a local resident. In addition, the tavern is a place to sell intelligence, and the face of acquaintances and gold coins, he will of course be happy to say such news that is not painful or itchy."
"So convenient." Seth said with a smile, "Since it's so convenient, I'll leave it to you for inquiries in the future."
"Don't," I shook my head, "I'm not good at intelligence, and my spell just allows the target person to answer questions he is willing to answer under certain conditions. Even the complete version is not as advertised by some people, and can easily control a person's spirit."
Hearing me, Seth touched his nose, and someone glared at me fiercely.
The legendary castle is not far from Venice where we are. We arrived there in just one hour under the "good-hearted" and "sponsored" horses, but upon arriving there we found that it was very likely that things were in big trouble.
"Hu——" Looking at the black clouds that filled the castle, Alice whistled and asked me, "I said, are you going to have any big moves there?"
"Stop here! Don't tell me you can't see it." I gave her a blank look.
"What are you talking about?" Seth asked with a frown, but the creature instinct told him that the castle in front of him, which looked like a giant beast crouching in the dark, was very dangerous.
"Simply put, the black clouds in the air and the aura around the castle belong to hell, and now this situation is clearly the means of the demons." I replied, "The relationship between our devil and the demons. Although we belong to hell, the angels we hate the most is them. To this day, the bloody battle between the demons and the demons is still going on, so I can say with certainty that this will definitely not be related to the devil."
"In other words, this is the devil's conspiracy?" Seth then asked, "Can you see what's going on?"
Alice shook her head, turned to look at me, and I shook her head and said, "I don't know, I can only feel a hole connecting hell in the castle, but this hole is not big, it can only emit some hell aura. There are too many magic based on this. After all, hell is very big, and no one dares to say that he knows all the magic."
"Will you know when you go in and take a look?" Alice said, "No matter what, if you just open such a small hole, you can only release some evil demons and praise demons. I think we should be under no pressure on these."
Of course, we are not reckless. Since our opponents are demons, the chances of us facing a trap are at least half and half. Be careful and be careful. Whenever we arrive in a new area, we will continue to move forward only after we have ensured absolute safety. As for Miles, who may have been in trouble? Does his life and death have a relationship with us?
Fearing that the noise was too big, I was alarmed by the enemy. Facing insects and small animals that were demonized by the breath of hell - such as mice over one meter long, scorpions as big as dinner tables, bats as big as human heads, etc. - I did not use magic, but only used a short knife turned into by the beauty under the moon to attack. As I was hit, I suddenly felt something and said to the two people: "I said, why do those so-called 'evil' choose such places?"
"Because this kind of place is generally more hidden." Alice cut the bats flying over her head in half with a sword, regardless of the dripping blood, and said to me, "Ancient castles, ruins, etc., these are large buildings. There is a lot of space on both the ground and the underground parts. In this way, the ground parts can be used as defense positions or traps, and the underground parts can be used as ritual fields. Due to the cover of the above parts, unless the ceremony is started, it will be difficult to detect."
"It makes sense." As I said, I twisted my head and avoided the attack of a giant mouse. When the giant mouse passed by my side, I inserted the short knife in my hand into the mouse's eyes. While the short knife turned into a long dagger, I also stirred it hard. The giant mouse's brain instantly turned into a pile of paste, and I saw that it was not alive.
"Hey, two ladies." Seth fell from the air, nailed a spider with one sword, and asked us, "Aren't you afraid of these things?"
"What are you afraid of?" X2
"Aren't you afraid of these spiders, mice, etc.? Generally, girls are afraid of these things, at least many female mercenaries I have seen will be afraid." Seth took three steps in a row, avoiding the triple strike of a scorpion's double clamp and tail needle, and then suddenly accelerated, and walked around the back of the scorpion, slashed the tail needle, and then pulled the scorpion into two and a half, then asked.
"Tsk, what's this?" I expressed my disdain, and at the same time, I used my feet to pick up the mouse that had just been brain-dead, so that it could meet the spider web that was spit out from a spider in the distance. When the spider web that was stuck to the rat's corpse was pulled back by the spider, I pulled the rat's corpse and flew over with force. Before the spider could react, a dagger pierced into the spider's head.
"If we were really afraid, hell had won countless wars against heaven. After all, most angels were women." Alice killed the last demonized animal, shook the unknown liquid on the sword, and put the sword into the sheath, saying to Seth.
"...Okay, there is always a feeling that the world is collapsing." Seth is a little bit? The deeper it goes down, the stronger the demonized creatures we encounter. In addition to mouse spiders, there are even weapons and armor activated by the breath of hell. Although these still cannot defeat us, Alice and Seth feel very uncomfortable - there is no way, the breath of hell is a negative energy, and it is certainly not good for humans to be in it. I feel quite comfortable.
After breaking a huge armor that should be the gatekeeper, we finally arrived at the underground hall of the castle, where we finally found Miles, but now... it should be considered in trouble, because he is fighting fiercely with others.
The Golden Lion Miles, the leader of the Golden Knights of the Kingdom of England, has a golden hair and a handsome face. He is the thought of many women in England, but he disdains this because his heart has long been filled with a figure, that is, Sophia, the only daughter of the Bishop of England's Diocese, Gregory.
At this moment, he had already thrown away the golden armor on his body, and the Golden Lion Sword was also abandoned by him, but he was not without the "handy" weapons. He was so superb that he could use a "original sin spear". Of course, his opponents were not so easy to meet. Although they were suppressed on the surface, this was actually a strategy to lure the enemy into depth and defend against counterattacks.
These two people can be said to be a match between chess and will meet a talented person. They are in fierce fighting with passion and sweating profusely, and it seems that the time is not short. On top of their heads is a reversal vortex the size of a human head. This black vortex is the source of the breath of hell.
"I can almost understand what's going on, but I don't know what role Gregory and the one who should be present now plays." Alice said as she looked at the two people fighting fiercely between the blood-red hexagrams.
"'The Elegy of the Fallen Knight' is forcibly infused with the breath of hell to demonize the subject. However, who is that woman? Or who does this skin originally belong to? If it were not willing, this magic would not have been successful." I asked Alice.
"This skin? What are you talking about?" Seth, who was diligent and inquisitive, interrupted.
"Linna means that woman who looks very similar and I don't know if it's Miss Sophia. Now the soul in her body is no longer the same." Alice explained, and then said to me: "Sophia, Gregory's daughter, the object of love for Miles."
"What a pity. Such a beautiful girl, her soul has either been sacrificed or swallowed up by the devil who now occupy her body." I said sarcastic words indifferently.
"How do you see... Er, that soul is gone?" Seth continued.
"The eyes are the window of the soul. Miss Sophia originally had a pair of clear eyes, like sapphires, but now these eyes have turned blood red and full of desire. And you didn't realize that even if it was a back-entry style, did these two people's eyes look at each other? I don't think that the eyes of a candidate for a saint are charming eyes." Alice said shamelessly without caring.
‘The image of a pure angel in my heart, you died so miserably…’ Hearing Alice’s words, Seth lamented silently in his heart.
"Three, although I really want to say 'Welcome', I really can't say this word for the uninvited guests." At this moment, a somewhat low voice echoed in the underground hall. With this voice, a man in a brown monk ran out of the shadow. However, the psychological warfare of this very abstract monk completely failed. He originally wanted to create a depressing and mysterious atmosphere. If a person who did not know the truth was indeed easy to be fooled - the majestic voice and sudden appearance - but for us... it was just meticulous sound and shadow movement.
"Conner Ris, who stood out at the Holy Doctrine Debate ten years ago, was considered a well-known figure in the Holy City and was also the confidant of the British suburban Bishop Gregory, but now it seems that the title of a pagan should be added." Alice said mockingly as she looked at Conner Ris with an abstract face.
