22. Demons and oracles

With the first glimmer of dawn in the morning, Nangong, who was looking at the ceiling to pass the time, also ushered in the guests he often saw. I have to say that the food in the inquisition is really good, which is completely comparable to the catering level of a star-rated hotel, and because Nangong has "struggled" the relationship, the attitude of the medical staff here is also very respectful.

Even so, she can't let Filily see that she is not in shape.

Nangong, who was thinking like this, sat up, of course...... It's just a matter of sitting up.

"How's the injury?"

When Filily was seen again, her saber had been re-attached to her waist, and it looked like Elizabeth's injuries were already healed.

Why...... Can the machine spirit be restored so quickly? But humans are ......

"Although it is only a minor injury, it must be well recuperated until it recovers."

"Feels so much better so ......"

Call...... Minor injuries. It seems that the criteria for judging injuries here are really strict, so ......

"Can you remove the cast and bandages from my dangling feet?"

In the past few days, whenever she saw her legs that had been put in a plaster cast and became "as white as jade", Nangong felt a burst of pain. When facing the sixth wedge demon Beluseb before, it was a very wise choice to choose to jump off the building before the other party opened the big move, because from the dense pit on the ground after that, it was obvious that if you had to carry it hard, you would definitely be poked into meat residue, and in the process of jumping off the building, because of the angle, you barely saved your life.

However, the result of this crazy move was that both legs were broken, although the supervising officer who flew over indirectly helped Nangong, but because the acceleration was too terrifying, both of them fell to the ground in a group. Most of the time, there is some "God's protection", he just rested for a day and jumped alive. But Nangong could only accept the treatment honestly.

It would be better to be able to restore the "medical standards" of the pastors in a matter of days.

"Check again tonight. If there are no problems, the operation can be resumed. Would love to give you a few more days off though. However, you should also be aware of the current situation, and as someone who has experienced it firsthand, you may have a lot of work to do in the future. ”

Filily said as she sat aside. Although her gaze lingered for a moment as she swept over the fruit used for condolences, she knew that etiquette and upbringing would not allow her to behave strangely.

"Both sides of the previous battle were evacuated quickly, and although there were casualties, they were not serious. Externally, we also say that it is caused by terrorist activities, although I don't know if this excuse will work. So, after that, it's your problem, and I'll investigate the question you gave me separately. Now with the results......"

Why was Barrette's ambush so quickly discovered, and why did the attackers not look like magicians at all. To be honest, this question made Nangong nervous even more than the appearance of Belusseb.

It doesn't take much of a choice to guess that there is an "inner ghost", but Ballett seems to have been intent on avoiding this sensitive issue.

"The bodies need to be disposed of in the first place, but I investigated the situation of one of them before I did." "We have a special way to investigate whether the other person has condensed magic in their body, in other words, to determine whether the other person is a 'magician'. Although I did not find it on the body I investigated, it ...... Nor are they members of the Inquisition. ”

"That'...... Could it be that the magic runs out? Otherwise, where are the hired thugs? ”

"......" After staring at Nangong's eyes for a while, Fei Lili shook her head, "The former can't happen. Latter...... I'm not sure. ”

Can't you get the results easily? Wouldn't that be a danger that would always be lurking again? It's like those specially cultivated killers in ancient times, always waiting for the master's orders. And even if the operation fails, there will be no ...... left

Vestige?

That's right. If you talk about traces!?

"Who told you to dispose of the corpse so quickly!? If so, how do you deal with it!? Do you know about this!? ”

"It's always been so fast, and the way to do it is to burn it clean with fire. That's what the archbishop meant, just to prevent the magical society from playing dirty tricks. ”

Filily's tone became serious, "But these suspicions are unfounded, the archbishop's belief in God has far exceeded that of anyone else, and she will never do anything unfavorable to the Inquisition." ”

Archbishop...... Looks like Filily's boss. However, Filily doesn't seem to be the kind of person who tends to be a talker, so there must be no problem with her boss who can make her so respectful.

"So...... Let's put aside the first question for now. Ballet will take care of it. Filily also seemed to vaguely avoid this matter, "Then there is the problem of the demon you encountered, if there is nothing wrong with her claims, I think this sixth wedge demon has been clearly documented." Belusebu, who claims to represent gluttony, is that right? ”

"Hmm."

And she's also followed by a machine spirit that can speak as much as she wants no matter what state she is, I'm afraid that machine spirit is also a demon. The sword technique of the three-legged cat before should be just a cover now, and what the other party is really good at is probably controlling the copy of the sword that is densely covered with half the sky. Theoretically, this should be considered "magic", but she is not holding a wand or a book that is common in the hands of magicians.

It's like...... The same class as the "Magic Swordsman" in the game?

"The Sixth Wedge Demon, Beluseb the Gluttonous. It is one of the seven culprits. "There's no clear record, but if you want to describe power, do you know Lucifer?" ”

"Of course I do."

It seems that the powerful angel provoked a unilateral war because his wish was not fulfilled, and the final result was that he degenerated into a demon. But even if you become a demon, you're probably top of that.

"Although it is certainly not as good as Lucifer, since it can be in the same seven deadly sins, Belusebub's level is naturally similar to Lucifer."

Although he inadvertently said something very bad, judging from Filili's calm look, it was clear that the Inquisition did not have a way to deal with it, or that it already had the "capital" to fight against this demon.

"It doesn't matter if her presence has anything to do with the previous storm, but it's not like we're without people in the Inquisition who are fighting against her. Since there is very little description of Beluseb's strength, and you are currently the only person who has briefly fought her, please meet her with me as soon as you recover, and explain to her about Beluseb. ”

"The ...... My lord? ”

He must have been a very noble man, for at this time Filily's expression was completely different from when she had mentioned the archbishop before. If Filily showed respect to the archbishop, now her affection for the "lord" in her mouth was undisguised adoration.

Isn't it only ...... that the clergy can worship in this way?

"Well, that's right, she's God's light to our Inquisition." After a pause, Filily added nervously and excitedly.

"It's true, oracle?" (To be continued......)
