The king's palatial palace complex sits atop a cliff with a raging river below and an ancient city lit up under the stars on the other.

The city is so large that it is rare in its current era, and you can't even see the edge when you look out from one of the towers of the palace.

The darkness of the night shrouds the ancient city and makes it seem peaceful.

But when two white streamers suddenly flashed from the sky above the city and disappeared, Angelia clearly understood that the silence here was about to be broken.

"What's the problem......

After retracting her gaze out the window, she absentmindedly used a quill pen to sketch some key information in her notebook, hoping to smooth out the clues in this way.

As a result, the more she wrote, the more confused she became.

Turn your back on Hell and reincarnate into the royal family of Pharos.

This thing was done perfectly.

In this way, he can practice the relevant secret methods and support the henchmen and subordinates of the human world.

Progress is also good.

At the right time, the unawakened Divine Favor will be introduced into Pharos, and the Ibiza Seal will be opened......

The quill came to a standstill here.

The first half of the affair went well, but when the plan officially unfolded at Neuham, it was inexplicably hit.

Angelia groaned at this.

Progress was too fast, and the sale of holy water, which should have been dormant for a long time, was suddenly revealed not long after the Divine Favor arrived in Neuham.

And it was none other than one of the beneficiaries of the Holy Water case itself, the lord of Neuham, the Earl of Cambore.

Angelia learns that the Count is doing so because he is possessed by a newly born "evil spirit", which leads to a bit of gibberish.

However, the evil spirit is not possessed by others, but by the old guy......

It's too much of a coincidence, right?

This coincidence not only led to the suspicion of the church in the case itself, but also obviously exposed a "flaw" in such a rapid progress.

In Angelia's original vision, this flaw should not have existed.

She expected that the matter would be revealed after a slow and difficult series of investigations in the face of the ostracism of the gods, and everything seemed very natural.

However, things have become so abrupt and obvious.

At the same time, both the eyes of the church and Middleton's attention should be on the false morning star who had broken the seal.

But now, they all looked to the king of Pharos......

The church is just that, with the white paper she buried before she was reincarnated, and it is understandable that they are cautious about investigating it.

But why did Middleton focus on it as well?

Is it simply a flaw revealed by the Holy Water incident?

Angelia had been thinking about this all this time, but there was no clue at all, which made her feel very irritated. So irritated that he didn't even bother to think about his stepmother, the queen, when he realized that she was a witch.

She didn't think it was enough to make the Middleton who was tracking her suspicious.

There must have been something else she hadn't expected that caused the Dreadlord to completely shift her attention from the false Morning Star who had broken the seal to the place where she was hiding in the capital of the Pharoth.

So...... What could it be?

Her mind was unconsciously immersed in the question again, and she was suddenly awakened by the sound of birds banging on the window outside the nearby window.

However, Angelia then ignored the movement outside the window, and used a quill pen to decisively check off the last thing on the notebook in her hand that made her doubt.

At this point, it's useless to think about it for the time being.

Middleton sensed that she was hiding there, and she changed her mind and prepared to carry out an alternative plan.

To this end, she had struck at Middleton's hidden minions in the city some time ago, in order to force him into the trap described in the white paper

Then came to her.

And now, since a white light representing angels has descended over the royal capital, it is clear that Middleton has set foot on the road here.

"When I gave up my identity and identity as the Lord of Pain, I had left you old creatures far behind. Middleton, wait and see, I'll give you a big surprise. ”

She muttered, the corners of her mouth unconsciously upturning.

……

On the other side, two white rays of light descended on the royal capital of Pharos and turned into two angels in an uninhabited alley.

They were dressed in armor made of metal, with a few rays of light behind them, wriggling wings of light, and as they walked forward, many white points of light that seemed to spark off the wings like feathers.

But as the two angels walked out of the alley, the spectacle quietly disappeared

It's not that the wings don't glow anymore, it's that they've transformed from angelic form to two normal-looking humans.

Of course, it's just relative to say that it's normal, but in fact, they are dressed as church witchers at the moment, and they are also the kind of equipment that only high-level demon hunters have.

"Every time I come to the human world, I always feel very uncomfortable."

Walking quietly through the empty streets of the old city, an angel on the left who had turned into a round-faced youth said, "Especially in a populated city like this, it smells like pulled out by the plague demon. ”

"I don't think you've really smelled the fecal feces of the plague, Asa."

The angel on the right is a dark-skinned youth, "So I'm sure you're lying." "Remember for a second [Net.. 】Wonderful free reading!

"You're insulting me Roy."

The round-faced youth complained, "I am a pure angel who has sworn in the corridor of fate, so pure that I will not lie at all. ”

"So you really smell the fetish of the plague demons?"

"I smelled it last time I cleaned the Eye of Decay in the Chaos Fortress."

The round-faced youth said, "Because I smelled a stench like this place since the last time I came to the human world, but I have never found the right words to describe it. ”

"So you're going to smell the feces of the plague demons?"

"Of course, I think that's probably a good metaphor. It turns out that they do taste similar. ”

The swarthy young man was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said slowly: "I really doubt how you joined the Fourth Legion Asa, if I remember correctly, the examiner's least favorite thing is a curious angel like you." ”

"You're talking about the previous examiner, Roy."

The round-faced youth said, "After Captain Ingersoll fell to the Chaos Fortress, she resigned from her position due to excessive sadness. ”

"But I remember that some time ago she was still an examiner of the Fourth Legion?" The swarthy young man said in surprise.

"That's because she's back in office."

The round-faced youth replied, "Because she heard that Captain Ingersoll has been reincarnated in the human world, and it will be a few decades before she can return." ”

The dark-skinned young man was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then felt that it was not good to talk about such a thing, so he changed the subject: "Tell me about business, Asa, I must say that the task we are carrying out now is dangerous. ”

"What's at stake."

The round-faced young man known as Asa said disapprovingly, "The demon king didn't know that we hadn't actually left. ”

"The captain said it might be the Demon King's disguise."

"So then listen to the captain, what's the use of thinking so much, let's just carry out the order."

"The captain said that the demon king might have some other moves."

"Even if he had, he obviously wouldn't have made up his mind about us."

The round-faced young man said, "Unless he can use the power of heaven to get here in an instant like us." But if I'm not mistaken, the demon king is still on his way, so what do we have to fear? ”

This made a lot of sense, and the swarthy young man nodded unconsciously when he heard this.

At the same time, the round-faced youth's words did not end.

And a pure angel has no fear. Roy, maybe you don't believe it, I'm still a little sad right now. ”

"Sad?"

"The church of the human world is not friendly, Roy. The last time I had contact with them, I was saddened. So I feel like I'm probably going to be more upset this time. ”

"We're just going to tell the churches here to prepare in advance, and we won't touch anything more."

"Wait and see, I dare say, unless we reveal our true identities, the churches here will not follow orders honestly, they will only go back and forth...... Will we be able to reveal who we really are? ”

"I can't."

The swarthy young man replied helplessly, "We can't tell the truth until the Lord of Dread does arrive here." But according to the captain's prediction, it should be another day before he descends on the city. ”

"So it's like that joke on the world, a pious old king gave up the throne and hid his identity and entered the monastery, wanting to live a pious monastic life."

The round-faced young man said, "As a result, because he was so religious, a cook in the monastery often beat him. In order not to be recognized, the old king endured this insult until finally he could not bear to reveal his identity. ”

“…… What's so funny about this? ”

"If he reveals his identity from the beginning, not only will he not be beaten, but he will be respected by the people."

The round-faced young man said: "As a result, my identity was not hidden, and I was beaten several times in vain, and in the end it even became a joke." ”

"It's ironic." The swarthy young man nodded, but he was confused.

"But I haven't heard of the joke."

"Am I not talking to you right now?"

“……”

The two "men" walking on the street chatted as they walked, but they did not notice a dark crow staring at them quietly from a roof not far away.

When the two men came to a corner and disappeared, the crow flew even more quickly to a path that the two of them had to go on, and then turned into a beggar lying unconscious on the side of the road.

So when the two came to this street, they saw the existence of this beggar for the first time.

"A dead man?"

"It seems like there's still a breath of air."

"But he looks dead."

"I don't think he's dead...... I'll take a closer look later. ”

As he spoke, the swarthy young man squatted down and slapped the beggar's dirty cheek, and as soon as his skin touched, he suddenly saw the shadow of a black-haired girl in his eyes.

The girl had black hair and black eyes, and after looking at each other silently for a moment, she suddenly grinned, which was beautiful at first, but then became more and more terrifying

The corners of the mouth cracked on both sides, revealing a terrifying abyss in the depths of the mouth, in which countless small human figures were wailing and crawling up the base of the tongue at the end of the abyss......

This scene is extremely bizarre, and it is full of déjà vu.

However, the picture flickered away, and at the same time, under the influence of some force, the swarthy young man instantly forgot all this.

"He's dead."

After slapping the beggar in the face a few times, he regretfully stood up and said to his companion, "Let's go, I hope he will go to the other side and become one of us." ”

"It's very unlikely."

The round-faced youth shrugged, "I just hope he doesn't go to hell against us." ”
