"Indecent!" Maria suddenly scolded in a low voice.

"What?" I woke up like a dream.

"Hasn't anyone taught you that staring at someone so obsessively is a very rude act?" Maria said coldly, her tone couldn't help but reveal a majesty, I was suddenly shocked, and then I realized that my actions just now were indeed a little ambiguous, and I couldn't help but bow my head in shame for a while.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...

Maria stared at me for a while, and finally couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Forget it, if I didn't know who you are, I wouldn't believe this kind of painlessness." But it's better not to have a next time... ”

"I swear not." I hurriedly replied.

Seeing this, Maria couldn't help but laugh again, and the originally tense atmosphere gradually eased.

"Do you have anything to say to me?" Seeing that the meal was almost finished, Maria suddenly asked.

"No, why do you suddenly ask that?" Seeing that my heart was exposed, I suddenly felt a sense of nervousness, and I couldn't help but speak.

Maria smiled slightly: "They forced you to ask for a confession, right?" “

"They? Who are you referring to? I continued to pretend to be confused, but my back was already starting to sweat slightly.

"Don't pretend, I've heard about everything...

"Uh... How do you know? ”

"Listen to what the guards said, those two guys are not ordinary noises, remember not to give them any important tasks next time, otherwise I don't know how many secrets I will leak to you."

"Definitely, definitely... I wiped the cold sweat from my body and replied awkwardly, the atmosphere of this conversation really felt more and more weird.

"And what about your attitude?" At this time, Maria suddenly asked.

"It's a contradiction... Seeing that everything has been clarified, I will no longer hide it.

"As far as I intended, I wanted to wait until you yourself were willing to speak, but what the princesses said is not unreasonable, and there is not much time left for us...

"They're right, now every time you delay you are in more danger, you're too merciful to your enemies... Maria said with pity.

"But I don't think that changing to torture will get more out of your mouth...

"You're quite aware of this." Maria nodded in agreement.

"So you see things are back to square one... I spread my hands out and said helplessly.

"Then you can use magic, hypnosis or "soul devouring", which is not difficult for you now. ”

I couldn't help but feel nervous when I heard this, in fact, this is the problem that has really bothered me for many days, with my current strength, I can use magic to force Maria to submit, this is really not difficult, but whenever I think of this, I immediately interrupt my thoughts, my intuition tells me, it is like opening a door, a door that must not be opened...

"I don't want to do that... No, to be precise I'm afraid to do that ... ”

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'll become another person..."At this time, I couldn't help but think of the reflection from the last time, and the whole person couldn't help but shudder.

Maria stared at me for a moment, and finally said slowly, "I may be able to tell you the whereabouts of the High Priest..."

"Really?" I couldn't help but be amazed and delighted.

"If I want to lie to you, I won't have to wait until today," Maria sneered.

"Why? What prompted you to make this decision?"

"Please, it looks like you've been lobbying me for so long, right? Why, now that I've succeeded, I don't believe it anymore?" Maria asked rhetorically.

"No, I just didn't expect it to go that well...."I said a little embarrassed.

Maria couldn't help but smile again when she looked at my embarrassed appearance, and I don't know when "Frost Death" behaved more and more like a normal girl in front of me.

"Actually, I don't think I can fully trust you until now, but the feeling you give me is completely different from what I said above..."

"How is it different?" I couldn't help but wonder.

"According to the above, you are a fierce and cruel, evil guy, synonymous with evil. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, this is exactly how you gave me the feeling until I left the camp..."Speaking of this, Maria couldn't help but subconsciously glance at me, and her eyes once again revealed the long-lost vigilance and murderous intent in her eyes. My instinct told me that what she was thinking at the moment was the last time I saw the figure in the puddle, the figure that was so close to the devil...

However, he soon listened to Maria's words: "But through this period of contact, I found out that you are actually a kind "bad person"."

"Uh... Can you get rid of the adjective in front of the good guy?" I complained.

"No, because that's what it is!" Maria said firmly, feeling as if there was no room for negotiation.

"Well, it's better to be a good guy than a wicked guy..."In the end, I had to compromise.

"Do you really think so?" Maria asked suddenly.

"Isn't it?" I'm a little surprised, isn't this easy to understand?

Maria looked at me as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything...

"Forget it, let's talk about the conditions..."

"Ah, there are still conditions?" When Maria said this, I couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Or what do you think?" Maria gave me a blank look as she spoke, disgust written all over her face.

"Okay, then you say." I thought about it carefully, Maria's request was not too much, after all, such a big thing can't be agreed to by others for no reason, right?

"First I must follow you to Lancelop to verify the truth of the whole thing with my own eyes, and if I find out that you are cheating on me, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Yes, I can agree to this now, and we can't ask for a guide like you."

"Second, try to avoid harming others in the Holy See."

"Of course, we don't want to kill innocents indiscriminately."

"Finally... Set me free at once, and give me back the staff."

"This..."I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed to hear Maria say that, it's one thing to let her go with her, it's another thing to untie her and give her the staff back, God knows if she'll suddenly turn her face then?

"What, you can't trust me?" How smart is Maria? I guessed my doubts right away.

"Sort of—" I laughed, and she could see it anyway, so I didn't have to hide it anymore.

"Well, this is also human nature, in short, I have already opened the conditions, and it is your business whether to agree or not."

"There's no room for negotiation?"

"No, you think it's grocery shopping?" Maria replied coldly.

"Hmm... I can't do such a big thing alone, can you let me go back and discuss it with everyone?" I hesitated for a moment and replied.

"Yes, it's not me who is in a hurry anyway." Maria laughed, her face full of fearlessness.

"Okay, you rest first, and we'll go back and discuss an answer to you tomorrow morning at the latest." I stood up as I spoke, and Maria ignored me at all, leaning herself against the stone behind her and closing her eyes.

"It's like you're only twenty years old," I muttered.

"Hehe, where does someone look like a demon king again!?" At this moment, Maria's voice suddenly came from behind me...
