343. Twins who didn't return all night
"Demons?"
Hearing Cynthia's somewhat understated answer, Barry, who was originally about to make a transcript, raised his head in surprise, and his expression became very serious.
"Sage-sama, are you sure it's a demon?"
At this time, he didn't even care about the fear of this calamity witch, and asked in a questioning tone.
Although he is a mysterious person, Barry is not very new to the creature of demons, after all, he also went to the front line for a period of time in his early years.
It's just that demons and demons can't be generalized, and the appearance of demons on the front line and the appearance of demons in Cornwallis City at this time are two different concepts.
Even if the current city of Cornwallis has declined, but this does not change the fact that this is the former capital of the empire, this capital is located in the hinterland of the empire, which is considered the center of the human territory, and there are demons in this former base camp of mankind.
Besides, if this witch who moved in didn't lie, then just a snap of her fingers caused the destruction of the entire block, then the level of the demon who was in trouble would definitely not be low, at least not a low-level demon, I am afraid that it was not a demon nobleman with a title.
But it is difficult for the demon nobles to enter the human realm, and it is impossible without internal response, unless someone summons it.
Is this a demon cult in the city?
Originally, he thought that tonight's explosion was just an ordinary wizard brawl or something, but now things seemed to be out of his control.
And Barry remembered that Sister Linn who came from the Templar headquarters not long ago seemed to have led a team to extinguish the cultists in the city once, so was it the fish that slipped through the net last time?
Barry thought a lot of things in a flash, and if it was really what he thought, then it was a big deal.
"Are you doubting my judgment?"
Cynthia frowned a little displeased.
"Or do you think you know more about demons than I do?"
"Don't dare, I'm sorry, Sage, it's me who lost my temper, it's really too important."
Only then did Barry realize that the woman in front of him was not the ordinary wizards he usually interrogated, but the terrifying witch, and he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, but he still had the courage to continue to make sure.
After all, he is now a secret-keeper, so he naturally has to be responsible for the stability of the area he governs.
"This young lady, please make a note as well."
It's just that Cynthia's brow he didn't dare to touch for the time being, so Barry shifted the target, and he looked at Cinderella on the side.
In fact, there is a seal in this office that is used as a place for daily interrogation of criminals, but the level of the half-elf witch just now is too high, and the seal in the office may not be able to recognize her words, but if it is this girl who seems to be just a wizard's apprentice, then there will be no problem.
Cinderella, who was questioned, frowned slightly, she didn't want to betray Teacher Merlin, so she subconsciously wanted to say that she didn't see anything.
It's just that after opening her mouth, she suddenly thought of some magical witchcraft about judging lies mentioned in the book, so if the lie is exposed, it seems to be more troublesome, she looked at Cynthia beside her with some distress.
Cynthia nodded.
"Cinderella, you just need to tell the truth, you can't tell a lie here."
The half-elf witch said.
Is there really an arrangement to identify lies?
Hearing Cynthia say this, the Xueba girl knew in her heart, and she sorted out the language in her heart a little, and then she spoke.
"Just now I was at home and was about to go to bed, suddenly I heard a loud noise, and then I saw that many neighbors had gone out to check, so I also went out to have a look, and the scene was full of smoke and dust, but there was indeed a shadow of a demon with horns on its head and a tail on its back in the smoke....."
Cinderella told the truth, she fully stated her experience tonight, but hid the fact that she knew the demon.
It's not like she's lying, it's that the other party didn't ask.
"Okay, got it, I'm sorry for you, miss."
After Barry listened to Cinderella's description, he looked at a rattle on the table that seemed to be just an ornament, and when he saw the bell, he nodded, but the worry between his brows gradually increased.
This was no longer something he could decide, and it had to be reported to the upper echelons of the church as soon as possible.
So, after further questioning the demon's specific characteristics, Barry got up again and sent Cynthia and Cinderella out of the church.
"Thank you very much Lord Sage and Miss Cinderella for your cooperation tonight."
After saying so politely, Barry turned around and went back to church, he couldn't sleep tonight, and he had to work crazy overtime when this happened.
Cynthia snapped her fingers, and the two disappeared into place, reappearing at the door of Cinderella's house.
"Okay, it's not early, let's rest early."
The half-elf witch said this and was about to leave, but Cinderella stopped her.
"Headmaster, Mr. Merlin, he's all right, right?"
The school bully girl asked with some concern.
Just now he looked at the fierce face of the keeper of secrets, it seemed that the face of the keeper of the secret seemed to be very bad, it seemed that Mr. Merlin's demonic form was very problematic, if it was tracked down by the church.....
Cinderella was a little worried about Mr. Merlin's safety.
He grew up under the influence of the church, and he knew very well the huge power of the church, although he knew that Teacher Merlin was very powerful, but compared with the church, reason told her that the church must be more powerful.
"Don't worry, it's all trivial, it's not your turn to worry about it, go to bed early, study hard, and make progress every day."
Cynthia waved her hand and said so, and then before the school bully girl could ask more, her figure disappeared in place.
Cinderella was helpless, she stood at the door of the house and was stunned for a while, and then had to return home a little weakly.
"Isn't it my turn as an elementary school apprentice?"
The school bully girl muttered.
Although this was probably just a casual remark from Cynthia, it aroused the seed in the girl's heart to become stronger, and she was purely interested in learning witchcraft before, but now it seems that there is something different.
"At least I can help Mr. Merlin in the future."
The girl set this small goal in her heart.
...........
Nothing to say all night.....
.............
When the morning sun shone through the small window into the stairwell, Cinderella, who had been sleepless, struggled to get up from her bed, and it was time for her hard-working maid to prepare breakfast for the family.
It's just that when she rubbed her eyes and walked into the kitchen, she suddenly thought of something serious.
"Floret and Louise didn't come back last night?"
If it were normal, these two cheap sisters should have gotten up and sat in the living room waiting for breakfast by now, their self-discipline has always been good, and they rarely slept lazy, but they didn't see anyone today.
Moreover, Cinderella had insomnia for most of the night last night, but she never heard anyone come back.
Inexplicably, an ominous premonition rose in the girl's heart, and the bad thing was that her premonition was always quite accurate.
