In the face of Alice's rhetorical question, Robles was suddenly stunned, she did not ask why she thought Veronica was a devil, but why she thought she would think Veronica was a devil.

The angle of the problem is a little strange and a little tricky. Robles was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to answer, he couldn't admit that most of the nobles were followers of the Holy Spirit, and that the followers of the Holy Spirit might think Veronica was the devil, right?

Alice seemed to sense something from his embarrassed expression, and her face became very flat, "Why don't you answer? I think someone may have made a devil's conclusion before me?"

"This ......," Robles said bitterly, hesitated for a long time and sighed, "My lord, Veronica has never hurt anyone. ”

"And what about your hands?" Alice's gaze fell on his wrapped hand.

Robles was silent.

Just now, in order to take the opportunity to feed Veronica some food, his hand was bitten and blood flowed. And, not for the first time, his entire hand was covered in bite marks.

Marbury tried to clear the siege and whispered, "Sir, I think I can explain." She, Veronica, can barely eat only when she's crazy. Robles was a good father, and this must have been an injury he had while feeding him. But along the way, Veronica didn't hurt any of us. ”

Robles looked up and looked at Marbury in a daze, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Marbury said to himself, "I believe in Mr. Robles, and besides, we are neighbors. Neighbors should take care of each other. While Robles was at work, I could ask my wife and children to take care of Veronica. I promise, nothing will happen to her. ”

Alice looked at the blacksmith with a beard and a calm expression, his expression was very sincere, and even a little pleading.

"Mr. Robles, it seems that you have a good neighbor. ”

Robles's face was a little ashamed, Marbury had been trying to establish friendship with him, but he had questioned it three times and twice, and even the hatred he had just had.

Marbury looked calm, "We are all from Waterdeep, and we will all be subordinates of adults in the future." It is appropriate to help each other and take care of each other. Right, guys?"

Matraar and Nelson looked at each other and nodded in unison.

Linda had been frowning the whole time, observing Veronica. While everyone was talking, Veronica fell silent, her hideous face stretched out, her face was that soft and gentle goose egg face, and there was a strange mark in the center of her forehead, which was a faint cyan, not like a bruise, but closely intertwined with the skin, and became one, her eyebrows and eyes were slender and soft, and her nose was slender and slightly raised, and there was a wonderful classical intellectual beauty.

If you look closely, the mark on the forehead is regularly shaped, like three thin lines of uniform curvature, radiating upwards and intersecting just above the center of the eyebrows.

"Alice, the mark on her forehead, something odd. ”

Seeing the strange mark, Alice also noticed that it was unusual, even the birthmark could not grow so regular, which was obviously abnormal. Regardless of whether Veronica is sick or possessed by some demon, it must be clear that there must be no hidden dangers in the castle.

"Mr. Robles, where did the mark on Veronica's forehead come from? I want you to answer truthfully, otherwise the contract will be invalid because of your deception. And, we'll escalate the matter. ”

Robles became nervous, and he knew that he couldn't get past it, and he hung his head down: "That night two years ago, Veronica suddenly went crazy. Before that, she didn't have anything unusual, quiet. And this mark, which appeared after that day, was very pale at first, I thought it was a bruise, but then it became clearer and clearer. Sorry, I don't really know how this came to be. ”

"Hope you're being honest. Alice frowned and made a final decision, "But, we're not going to let her stay in the castle." ”

"Your Excellency......" Robles' face turned bitter.

"My lord, we ......" Marbury was also a little anxious.

"Wait, hear me out. "Now that the construction of the Black Stone Collar is imminent, the stonemason is indeed the most scarce craftsman, and Alice will not let Robles go easily, so Veronica's problem needs to be properly solved.

You can listen to Qin's insights.

You can also try Luna's healing powers.

Or, let Linda take time to take care of her, after all, petrified skin will not be harmed. The worst-case scenario is that she is really possessed by some kind of devil, and Linda can control her as soon as possible.

"We're not going to hurt her. Alice interrupted them with a wave of her hand, "From today, each of you is going to start your preparations. And it's going to be busy, so, Veronica will be handed over to our people to take care of. Of course, outside of work, Mr. Robles, you can visit her. ”

"Your Excellency. Robles was still reluctant because Veronica was more than just going crazy, "I'll work hard, but I want to...... It's better for me to take care of her. ”

"Mr. Robles, this matter is non-negotiable. Alice's expression was resolute, with a natural aristocratic air, "You have signed a contract, you have to obey orders." We also promised to take care of your family, and we fulfill our promise, and we hope that you will be able to fulfill it too. ”

"But. Robles gritted his teeth.

Marbury tugged at Robles' sleeve and whispered, "Robles, don't say any more." Be careful of annoying the adults, and the consequences will be even worse. ”

"Mr. Marbury, I thank you for your kindness. But ......" Robles is still trying to hold on.

And the more he insisted, the more strange Alice felt, her eyes narrowed, and her tone became cold, "Mr. Robles, what are you hiding?"

"I ...... I ......"

"If you don't say it, I'm afraid we'll have to take a tougher approach. ”

With a pop, Robles, who was desperate, suddenly knelt on the ground on his knees, and the old tears crisscrossed the ground, "My lord, my lord." Please, please, don't take Veronica away from me. ”

"Can you tell the truth now?"

Robles's heart was entangled, and in his plan, he only had to hide Veronica in the house, mix it for a year, earn enough gold, and take her further away to seek medical treatment.

But Veronica's longer and longer time in a daze meant that the strange visions appeared more and more, and once she was taken away, it was only a matter of time before she was exposed.

If he chooses to break the contract, Robles will not even be able to pay the travel expenses, and it will be impossible to pay compensation.

At this point, Robles has no choice, perhaps taking the initiative to admit it, coupled with the pleading, he can also hope that this noble girl has mercy and can fight for a glimmer of life.

Looking at Robles's tangled face, Alice and Linda glanced at each other, and sure enough, there was something inside.

Robles finally gave up, and the long-term psychological pressure made him emotionally collapse "While she was in a daze, something strange would happen around her. But I swear, it won't hurt at all, and it's not a devil. My daughter, how can it be the devil. ”

"What's weird?"

Marbury's eyebrows jumped, and he blurted out, "Two pieces of salt?"

Robles sighed, "Yes. ”

Alice furrowed her brows, "What two pieces of bacon?"

Sure enough, it was true, and Marbury chuckled in his heart, "Yes...... That's right, my lord. Two days ago, I sent a piece of salted meat, but somehow, another identical piece appeared next to the salted meat, and soon it disappeared again. I thought I was dazzled......"

As he spoke, Marbury stroked his beard and laughed innocently, "It's the same as Robles said, nothing terrible." ”

Alice and Linda froze.

What the hell is this?

Can you hallucinate those around you?

Or can you really make an object in two?

But they are all witches with divine powers, Elena can burn people with her eyes, and Leah rides a six-legged horse, each of which is a strange thing in the eyes of ordinary people.

So, just a little surprised, the expression didn't change much.

Alice directly remembered the sealed monster in the illusion box, isn't it just that it can create illusions? There seems to be something in common, maybe Qin can give the answer.

"Mr. Robles, is that all?"

Robles was a little dazed, Alice's reaction was not at all what he had imagined, and even the surprise was only fleeting, and it didn't seem to be a big deal.

"I swear, that's all. That doesn't hurt people and is short-lived. Robles had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Alice nodded faintly, "I understand." ”

"You, got it?"

"I never jump to conclusions about the unknown. Alice's expression got serious, "I won't hastily determine what the devil is." Mr. Robles, I will not change my decision because of this, Veronica can stay in Blackstone Territory and we will take care of it. ”

"Your Excellency. Robles looked up, his lips trembling with excitement, "What you said is true? I, can I still visit Veronica at any time?"

"Of course it's true, you can go and visit her. The premise is to get your job done. ”

"That's fine!" said Robles, nodding heavily.

"Alright, you can get ready, pack the tools you need, and the family can stay in the castle and enjoy the two meals a day. You will not have time to rest in the days to come, especially since you, Mr. Robles, will be undertaking a great project. ”

"Big project?"

"You'll know when the time comes. ”

Linda and Elena are both the main combat forces and can't stay in the castle for too long, Alice nodded at Linda and said, "Linda, Veronica will be handed over to you." ”

"No problem. ”

Veronica was quiet in a daze, Linda helped her remove the cotton cloth from her mouth, and the thin lips closed together, revealing the arc of a smile, which looked slightly sluggish, but seemed to be filled with a certain kind of happiness?
