Hearing the girl's coquettish complaints, Sir Charles finally looked up. He took off his monocle, rubbed his slightly dry eyes, and pulled the gold bracelet on his chest and pulled a gold pocket watch from his jacket pocket.

Opening the lid of the watch to check the time, Sir Charles put away the map and placed it in a leather bag beside him, and took out a tablecloth from another canvas bag and spread it on the sand in front of him. After the girl put the broth and bread on top, she said, "Jessica...... I thought you wanted to find out the secrets of your origins as much as I did. Why is it that the secret medicine refined by your blood can be sprinkled around to block the approach of the undead?

Why are you the only one who survived in that orphanage where the demons slaughtered you......"

Jessica interrupted Sir Charles to continue repeating these old things, and she said dissatisfiedly, "That was originally the Demon Summoning Ritual organized by the Extremist Sect...... They succeeded, and a projection of a powerful demon appeared in the orphanage where I was. All the orphans have become demon sacrifices, and I am the only one......

To be honest, I was too young to remember what had happened. Those disgusting creatures call me the 'Evil Handmaiden' chosen by the devil to bury me alive under the devil's altar so that my soul will serve the devil forever.

Luckily...... You saved me.

I don't know why that demon didn't kill me, why my blood can keep the undead at bay......

Probably because of ...... My soul really belongs to evil. ”

Seeing the cheerful Jessica become depressed, Sir Charles said kindly, "No, Jessica...... You are one of the kindest people I know.

Think about how many times you've saved me, in the Kaitar Gorge, in the Sea of Thorns...... You are simply the best assistant that the gods have given me.

Your soul is definitely not evil!

I think the visions that have happened to you, including your remarkable talent for magic, have to do with your bloodline. I think your bloodline is nobler than most, and it should come from some great family from the ancient magical age or the theocratic age, even if it's more than a thousand years later...... Your bloodline can still deter the undead and demons. ”

Jessica sat cross-legged on the sand and drew circles on the yellow sand with her fingers: "But what does this have to do with me?" It's been so many years, I don't even know who my parents are, so why should I look for my unknown ancestors?

No matter how great he was, he was forgotten by the Dark Ages. Do I still expect to inherit his legacy? ”

Sir Charles said with a very serious face: "Jessica, you should know...... Summoned by the Extremists in the orphanage is a projection of a superior demon who did not kill you, indicating that your ancestors had a very strong influence on the former hellish plane.

And the undead...... The secret medicine refined by your blood makes the undead dare not set foot within five hundred meters of the camp. This shows that your ancestors also had a very strong influence on the plane of the former Dead Kingdom.

The Dead Realm is the leader of the evil faction of the Theocratic Age, and the Hellplane is the leader of the evil faction of the Ancient Magical Age.

Based on my analysis of your blood...... You are a pure human being, and your ancestors must have been a pure human being. A human being is capable of intimidating both the undead and demons...... Even if it's a thousand years later, two thousand years...... When we all forget about him, this deterrent remains.

How powerful is he? Maybe he's become a god. ”

"Gods?" Jessica looked incredulous: "You said that my ancestors were gods...... No kidding, if my ancestors were really gods, I wouldn't be eating sand with you here. ”

Sir Charles knew that his speculation was too bold, but he had to persuade Jessica to assist him in this expedition, without her blood to keep the undead away from the camp, the expedition would face many, many dangers, and even total annihilation.

"Jessica, the extremist who summoned demons to slaughter the orphanage, is the Gazing Abyss Church of Eggus, the Demon King of Hell. Although the last time the Gazing Abyss Church was exterminated by the Knights of the Temple of the Supreme Holy See, in recent years, the Gazing Abyss Church has a resurgence trend.

These evil fanatics will definitely track down the incident that summoned the superior demon. Although I have hidden your identity, I cannot guarantee that they will not find you.

If you don't want to be hurt by the Church of the Abyss, you have to prove that the superior demon didn't kill you, not because he chose you to be his servant...... And because your ancestors made him dare not kill you.

It is too dangerous to summon a superior demon to ask about your origins, and the blood sacrifice killing will attract the supreme good Holy See, of course...... Nor can we kill innocent people.

We'll have to figure out what to do with the undead.

This is the Death Desert, and I think this desert should be part of the Death Realm plane, and there must be an ancient undead somewhere here who can communicate with the wise.

If we find him, we will solve the mystery of your origins. ”

Staring at the Abyss Church gave Jessica a deep sense of crisis, these people with extreme thoughts were simply unreasonable, and the demons they summoned were all projections, the remnants of some demons from the ancient magic era. Mentally retarded and unable to communicate, but can be exchanged for power from them through the exchange of souls.

The higher the level of the demon, the greater the power in exchange.

The high-ranking demon summoned by the orphanage at that time caused a sensation in the entire Order Continent. In the propaganda of the Holy See of the Most Good, the demon is the mortal enemy of the angels, and the appearance of the superior demon directly led to the comprehensive suppression of the Church of the Abyss.

That attack saved four-year-old Jessica when she was about to be buried alive. And because all the members of the Abyssal Church were killed at that time, no one knew that Jessica was chosen by the demons as the "evil handmaiden", and she was dug out of the pit under the demon altar by the palace knights of the Holy See of the Good, believing that she was about to be sacrificed to the demons.

When the Knights of the Temple had finished their battle and were about to take Jessica back to the Abbey, Sir Charles happened to see the poor girl nearby and took her for adoption from the Knights of the Temple. Then in the process of raising Jessica, after his investigation and Jessica's sporadic memories, he pieced together the process of staring at the Abyss Church to summon the superior demons, and gradually discovered the power hidden in Jessica's bloodline.

In order to find the secret of Jessica's ancestor of the ancient magical era, Sir Charles sets out to search the world for ancient ruins. So much so that although he did not find what he was looking for, the unimaginable wealth and fame brought to him by the results of exploration and archaeology made him a household name.

But none of this became an obstacle for Sir Charles to find out about Jessica's origins, and when Jessica graduated from the School of Magic, she became Sir Charles's assistant, and together the two traveled the world for their goals.

After the successful development of this secret elixir that can drive away the undead, Sir Charles can't wait to organize an expedition into the Desert of Death to find the ancient undead who can answer his question.
