"Barons, is there anything else that the lord needs to decide today?"

As the sky got dark, the maids and maids of the Blue Palace began to light candles in the palace, and the blonde Elysifer who was sitting on the lord's chair looked at the nobles of Dugu City who were drinking and laughing, sighed slightly, and then asked out loud.

It has been a tradition of the Nord people since ancient times to arrange tables, chairs, drinks and food in the hall of the lord's office, because the city and houses were relatively simple at the beginning, and the weather was cold, if the person who reported the work waited instead of drinking to ward off the cold, he would probably have frozen into ice by the time it was his turn.

And this innocuous tradition was not abolished after the improvement of living conditions, but further became a kind of social activity among the nobles, and for some small nobles who did not meet the lord often enough, it was a kind of honor to be able to eat the meal arranged in the lord's hall, and then they would inevitably run to show off to others, and it was self-inflicted to be pushed into the pool or to receive a war cry.

Strictly speaking, though, if a realm has a lot to do, it's impossible for these barons to stay in the halls of the lord all the time with nothing to do.

"Well, no, thanks to the hospitality." To the Acting Lord's inquiry, a middle-aged Nord man dressed in a fine costume, with short brown hair and a smooth face, replied with drunken eyes.

"You idiot, that's what the lord meant when he was ready to end his work today." Beside him, another noblewoman who was also dressed in splendid costumes and had good looks, but who liked to speak with her chin tilted up, replied.

Well...... The great merchant Erikul and the hereditary aristocrat Bai Ling, Elysifher kept a proper smile and ignored them.

The Baron Dugu was in charge of politics, economy, and transportation, and the only thing he didn't have was the military, because those people were all at the other side of the city, at the castle of Dur, under the orders of General Tulius, who had been sent by the empire to stabilize the situation.

Dugu City is the largest and most important city in the sky, but it is also the only city where the military and government are separated, specific political measures and orders are issued by the Blue Palace, and the guard deployment and military transfer are dispatched by the Imperial Dor Castle, and the Blue Palace can only command the guards, which is why Ulfrik can run away smoothly after coming to the Blue Palace to assassinate Toig.

However, the situation has improved since the Imperial Princess Emilia Septin came to Dugu City, she brought a group of elite soldiers who were only responsible to the princess herself, the "sharp-eyed eagles", and carried out military activities according to Toig's wishes on several occasions, and was holding the Dragon Bridge at this time, although General Tulius tried to persuade the princess to cooperate with his actions, the princess flatly refused under the pretext of "hating bald heads and people who look like skeletons".

Alicifer pondered for a moment the thick brown hair and kind countenance of her husband Toig, before noticing that the guards had led a man who looked like a farm worker into the hall, and the nobles who had been about to leave immediately stared at him with discontented gaze.

"Cave ...... Spooky flashes...... The Black-robed Man ...... Skeleton ......: "Under the pressure, the farmworker who originally seemed to have a draft became fragmented, and only a few fragmented words could be heard except for vague words.

"Calm down!" The court mage Sibili Staunt let out a low sigh, and the invisible magic energy dispersed, and the farm worker instantly sobered up a lot, and then began to slowly tell his story.

Originally, Alicifer was wary of a group of necromancers, but when she heard that Her Royal Highness and the sharp-eyed eagle had intervened, she knew that the matter must have been resolved, and she would only have to wait for the princess to return to find out what was going on there—and of course she had to preach because she had run so far without permission.

"Take this gentleman to claim his reward, and we'll send guards to clean the cave carefully." The Acting Lord decided: "This concludes today's deliberations. ”

——20:00——

"The fellow named Younis walked slowly and timidly, and from time to time he found a place to hide, and the brothers who secretly protected him expressed a great desire to pick him up and go."

Emilia returned to Solitary City less than an hour after the farmer left, and is currently in the back house of the Blue Palace to watch old lady Angela Moreland treat Toig.

Radher Parasos, who was not leaving, informed the acting lord of the details of the wolf skull cave before.

"Potterma, the only female city lord in the centuries-old history of Dugu City......" The blonde Elysif was a little yearning, but thinking about the annoying nobles, decrees, reports, and documents that had been annoying these days, she felt that this kind of thing was better to think about it.

"Oh~Okay, this is the last step~" Old lady Angela was not mixing the potion, she was throwing all the ingredients into an incense burner.

Forget about the death knell, but what about silver ingots and rubies? Alicipher looked curiously at the few materials in the furnace, which were quiet and had no idea what was going to happen.

Boom - a few things that were originally unrelated immediately ignited a strange green flame after Angela sprinkled the last vampire ashes on it, and the death knell was lit first, followed by the completely impossible silver ingots and rubies, which gradually twisted, melted, and steamed in the green flames, and finally turned into a strange cloud of green smoke in the incense burner, and there was a faint roar of something around them.

"This ......" If it weren't for the centuries-old heritage of Angela's fragrant shop, Alicipher would have planned to call the guards to arrest the old lady who looked exactly like a witch.

"Now, inhale it, and ask the Lord to be cured of your sickness." Angela picked up the incense burner and walked towards Toig, and the lord's face was not at all good at this time.

"Me, can I come?" Aliciphus took a few steps forward to stop the old lady: "It's just a request, it should be okay to change someone." ”

"Hmm...... The book doesn't say no, but the consequences are not necessarily. Angela turned her head to stare at the determined-eyed Alicipher for a moment before speaking slowly.

Who knew that the hole card of a veteran physician family would be to contact the demon god of the plague to relieve the disease, that is the demon god, who knows what the conspiracy will be and what price will be paid?

"Aliciphus, I'll do it again." Toig also thought of this verse.

"What do you two think of me, old lady?" Angela was completely unkind to the lord and his wife: "The price he needs has already been paid by my ancestors, don't treat me as a witch who can only contact the demon god!" ”

"Hmm...... We believe in you, but I decided to do it myself. Not bothering in, Elysif reached for the incense burner and took a deep breath before Toig could stop him.

Whew—the green mist was not inhaled by her as Aliciphus had expected, but formed a closed ring around her, through which she saw that the whole world was covered with a pale red, the red of the sharp-eyed eagle soldier was light, and the old lady Angela was darker, and the red on Toig's body was even more red to purple, because of the ring barrier, Elysif could not see herself, but found that Princess Emilia was the same color as usual, not dyed any red at all.

Are those colors that represent disease? The blonde Alicipher had some enlightenment.

"Mortal, speak your mind. A thin, green dragon appeared in front of Elysifer in a dull voice with a strange breathing voice, ignoring the small room, "Also, this is the last time to answer your call. 】”

Elysifher noticed that the others couldn't see the dragon at all, except for Amilia, who was watching her, to follow her gaze into the void where the dragon was.

"Say what you want." Angela said to Alicifer, "Keep it simple and leave no room for error." ”

It should indeed be like this, Elysif quickly organized the language, even if it was restricted by what conditions required to respond to the summons of the Angela family, but if there was a verbal loophole to exploit, the demon god would definitely not let it go.

"I want to cure my husband, Lord of Dugu City, Toig, of any ailments." She finally said so.

"Then, as you wish. The Demon God's voice faded away, and at the same time, the red color on Toig's body quickly faded away.

Before Aliciphus could breathe a sigh of relief, she watched in horror as the reds turned to Princess Emilia, who was standing by looking a little puzzled.

No! Elysif rushed over in two steps to block the girl, Toig was already in a difficult situation, if he paralyzed the princess of the empire who still supported him, not to mention the emperor's thunderous rage, even if General Tulius, Sharp-Eyed Eagle, and any of the Eastern Empire Company could not afford to attack him.

Time seemed to slow down suddenly, and when the red came rushing in, she saw that Toig was getting up from his hospital bed in shock, Angela lunged in her direction, and Raj, who was next to her, drew his sword from its sheath in complete confusion, and the High King got up again, and there was no other loss, so it would be—

Boom!

At that moment, Elysif felt herself hit by Emilia from behind, giving way to the red passageway, but in her horror, an incomparably dazzling light flashed in front of her eyes.

【Wisdom: The Eye of Death】

The crimson world disappeared in an instant, not only the red, but also the green smoke that wrapped around Elysifher completely disappeared, as if it had never existed.

"As long as it's a living thing, even if it's a god, I'll kill it for you.] The girl with short purple hair was holding the dagger in front of her eyes, and the sharp light in her eyes made it impossible for anyone present to look directly.

“…… I've wanted to talk about it for a long time. The girl put away her dagger, and her eyes changed to the unfocused one that seemed to be unfocused.
