Chapter 37: The Demon King and the Village Girl
Looking at the maid in front of him, Green was a little surprised.
Didn't she sleep in the shadows before? Why did you run out all of a sudden?
"Master, I'm back." Miss Maid knelt down on one knee in front of Green, bowed her head, and bowed.
Looking at the maid kneeling on one knee in front of him, Green felt a little panicked.
Look at this posture, this maid is really a subordinate of the "Demon King"! But I don't know what's going on with my demon king at all, in case I let her know that my demon king is actually "Li Dai Taozhuang......
I must not let her know that I, the demon king, have been crossed!
Green blinked: "That...... Sorry, I don't have previous memories, so ...... Who are you? Green began to feign amnesia.
The maid's face showed a look of confusion: "I'm ...... Battle Maid. ”
"Hmm...... It's a profession, right? What else? Green couldn't understand the other person's language, but he could feel a mysterious power similar to a spiritual connection, which allowed him to completely ignore the language barrier and communicate directly and accurately.
“…… Sorry master. I don't have any memory of that, and I seem to be ...... Amnesia. ”
Grimm pretending to be amnesiac: "......"
Miss maid suspected of amnesia: "......"
Amnesia or something is a very useful excuse.
Green blinked, "Okay." These little things are put aside for a moment (amnesia is a trifle?). So what should I call you? ”
Miss Maid: "I'm a battle maid, and I exist to protect my master. As long as you can protect your master, nothing else matters. ”
"Hmm...... There has to be a way to call it. ”
Miss Maid: "It's up to the master to decide." ”
"Well......" Green scratched a little, "I'm not good at naming names...... By the way, have you been hiding in my shadow before? ”
"Yes. I am a battle maid, a shadow of my master, and I exist to protect my master. ”
Do not understand!
"What do you mean?"
"I can blend into the shadow of my master, and I will never be separated from my master no matter where he is."
"Well...... Greene thought for a moment, "Shadow?" Shadow...... Shadow...... Well. So how about calling you 'Thousand Shadows (Chinese)'? ”
"Okay."
"So Miss Chikage, can you tell me where you're from?"
"I don't know. I felt the breath of the master, and when I woke up, I followed the breath of the master all the way. ”
"Eh......"
Amnesia is a very useful excuse.
The corners of Green's mouth, who pretended to be amnesia, twitched slightly: "I understand...... This is not the place to talk, so let's get out of here. ”
"Yes, master."
In the next instant, the maid turned into a black shadow and disappeared into Green's shadow.
Looking at the shadow at his feet, Green couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The Demon King's subordinates? It is not known if she is really amnesia or pretending to be amnesia, but at least it seems that she is not hostile for the time being.
The crisis has been lifted.
That's when Green remembered his two teammates.
Green looked back.
Natalie and Anna sat on their knees as if they were scared. Green could even see a large patch of wet underneath the priest maiden's robes!
Green thought he was wrong and couldn't help but blink.
It seems that there is no mistake. Actually scared to pee?
Green was shocked!
Even when Miss Maid suddenly appeared before, Green was not so shocked, but at this moment, Green was shocked!
Girl, you have a bladder disorder, do you want to go to the hospital?
Greene: "...... Are you alright? ”
"Green, who the hell was that guy just now?" Natalie's face turned a little pale, "It's terrifying. ”
"Ah......" Green blinked, and said decisively, "she's sent to me by my family, and she's my maid." ”
"Yes...... Is that so? ”
"Probably."
"And she...... Where have you gone now? ”
"It's probably hidden. She's the kind of being that resembles a dark guard. ”
“…… Green, are you really the prince of a certain country? ”
"Ahaha~ I don't know about this kind of thing." If there is a country called "Demon" in this world, maybe I am really the prince of that country. Looking at his career information, Green felt a little weak.
Hearing Green's words, Natalie breathed a sigh of relief: "That maid lady just now was really terrible. Just by looking at her, I felt chills all over my body and my body was out of control. ”
"Is that so?" Green was a little dazed. Just now, Green didn't feel any discomfort.
Natalie leaned against the wall and slowly climbed up: "That lady maid must be a master. I heard that the 'master' can kill people with his momentum, but I didn't expect it to be true......"
At this moment, the priest girl who was kneeling on the ground said weakly, "That...... Can you give me a hand? I just couldn't stand up. ”
The priest girl looked like she was about to cry. Obviously, she had just been frightened by the maid's impossibility.
……
At this time, in another space.
In front of a simple temple, a village girl in a linen robe stood and looked at a small piece of land in front of the temple.
The dirt on the ground is like a map sand table, on which the maze map is vividly depicted, and there are many various "chess pieces" moving on the map.
"The Blood Witch has stopped on the third floor of the Labyrinth." The village girl suddenly spoke.
Behind the village girl stood several high-ranking clergy. Among them were priests and paladins, each of whom was well-dressed and completely compared to the village girl in front of them. But at this time, they all stood very respectfully behind the girl, and did not dare to cross the rules in the slightest.
"Your Majesty, what are we going to do?"
"The adventurers have been informed of this, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. The adventurers in the city have been informed of the seriousness of the matter through the adventure guild, but there is nothing they can do about it for those who have not returned. ”
"If the Blood Witch appears on the first floor of the labyrinth, then I'll take care of it. If she doesn't come down, then just observe the situation for the time being. ”
"Yes!"
After sending away the priests, the village girl sat on the ground and looked at the map in front of her.
"Why did you wake up? Your master and the gods are no longer in this world......"
Suddenly, the girl's brow moved.
She started moving again...... This movement speed ......"
……
The first floor of the Endless Labyrinth, "The Adventurer's House".
"Ah~ finally back!" Green finally breathed a sigh of relief when he walked out of the portal.
It's a thrilling journey. Obviously, he just went out to run in the team, but he was almost wiped out...... No, it should be said that the group has been wiped out, but in the end it was rescued by the maid lady who suddenly appeared.
"That...... I have to go to church for therapy now. The priest girl took her arm and said to Green and Natalie.
"You go first, the treatment is important." Natalie paused, "Do you have enough money on you?" ”
"No problem." The priest girl patted her priest's robe, "I can go to Sister Nana." She should have counted me cheaper. ”
"Hmm...... When we sell the loot, we'll send you your share of the money. Natalie began.
"No, no." The priest girl hurriedly shook her head, "I didn't do anything. If it weren't for Green, I might be dead now, so why would I be embarrassed to ask for a payment? ”
Natalie: "You're short of money too, aren't you?" And the price of treating limb regeneration is not cheap. ”
A hint of struggle appeared on the priest's girl's face.
"Follow the rules of adventurers, I'll send you your share." Green interjected.
"But......" the priest girl hesitated.
Greene: "Only people who follow the rules can work with people." People who don't follow the rules can't team up with others. You don't want me and Natalie to be unruly, do you? ”
"This ...... Thank you then. The priest girl bowed to Natalie and Green, "May Mother Earth protect you." ”
After seeing the priest girl leave, Natalie turned to Green and said, "Let's go, let's go and dispose of the loot." ”
Green walked with Natalie on his backpack towards the Adventure Guild.
"Hey. Natalie, do you feel like there are a little less people today? Green looked around. Compared to when I left, there were many fewer adventurers on the first floor of the labyrinth, and it seemed a little deserted.
"Hmm...... It's a bit weird indeed. Natalie glanced back at the guards next to the portal, "And there are usually no guards around the gate." ”
Next to the gate of the labyrinth, a whole small team of guards stood guard next to the gate. And when Green and the others went to the Endless Prairie before, there were only two guards next to the gate.
Green frowned slightly: "Could it be that something happened?" ”
"There was a little accident." A gentle female voice suddenly came from Grimm's side.
Green turned his head and looked in the direction the voice was coming from.
A blonde woman in a linen robe stood slim with a gentle smile on her face, like a very ordinary commoner, but the beauty of a girl and her unusually plump figure were not like those of ordinary civilians.
"Hello, beautiful lady, nice to meet you." Green nodded at the girl, and couldn't help but glance at the girl's wrist. What made Green more concerned was that the girl was not wearing an adventurer bracelet on her wrist.
The girl looked Green up and down, and quietly glanced at the shadow at Green's feet, a smile on the corner of her mouth.
"May Mother Earth protect you."
