The cardinal did not see the legendary beautiful duchess in the fief of Duke Fressey, and returned to the Holy See with great regret. Before leaving, he politely left the Duchess a gift, a small statue of the Holy Light Archangel.

It is said that the Duchess recovered from her illness long after the archbishop left, and after the Duke of Frecy handed over the archbishop's gift to the Duchess, she said that she liked it, but as soon as she turned around, she asked the maid to take the statue of the archangel to the warehouse.

As the days went by, Prince Christian grew up, and the prince was very intelligent, and even more beautiful than his mother, and very likable. With his beloved wife and proud son by his side, the Duke felt that his life was happy. But his happiness did not last long, and gradually, Duke Frecy noticed something unusual about his wife.

Duke Frecy, like his brother, was a devout Catholic, he built a splendid church in his fiefdom, and the daily congregation of the Holy Light was never absent, and the Duchess also took her son to the church with her husband every day to pray.

After a long time, the duke gradually discovered that although the duchess participated in prayers every day and also participated in the usual small prayer ceremonies, the duchess never participated in the midnight prayer ceremony once every ten days, and she always found various excuses to leave before the midnight prayer ceremony.

The Duke was hesitant about his wife's failure to attend the Midnight Prayer, but decided to test the Duchess.

Before another midnight prayer, the Duke of Frecy had set up a number of guards in the church. As before, the Duchess showed up punctually with Prince Christian, prayed alongside her husband, and made excuses to leave before the midnight prayer service began.

This time, the duke insisted that his wife must stay in the church for midnight prayer, and even used guards to seal the door of the church to prevent the duchess from leaving. At this time, the Duchess, who found that she could not get out of the gate, ran up the tall tower of the church, jumped out of the window of the tower, and disappeared into the night, never to be seen again.

"Gone?!" Qian Qian opened his mouth exactly the same as 7788, and looked at Mr. Meyer in surprise: "The tower of the church is so high, jump down and disappear?" Could it be that someone rescued him? Like a magician? It should be possible, right? ”

"There are guards outside the church." Mr. Meyer shook his head: "Duke Frécy's guards surrounded the church tightly that day, and if a magician appeared, it should be impossible to escape the sight of the guards. They didn't see anything, and they didn't even know that the Duchess had jumped from the tower, so the Duchess had literally disappeared. ”

"But......" Qian Qian looked at Mr. Meyer blankly, "how can a person disappear out of thin air?" Maybe some kind of advanced magic? I think I should ask Ivan, maybe the Duchess is a magician? ”

"All magicians should be recorded in the Magicians' Guild, but this is your magician's business, I can't make any assertions, you can go and ask Lord Ivan. But haven't you heard the rumors? Mr. Meyer smiled and concluded: "Many people say that the Duchess of Frécy is actually the embodiment of the devil, and her son, Prince Christian, is now privately referred to by many as the Demon Blood. ”

"This must be a very evolutionary plane!" After Qian Qian talked to Mr. Meyer, he listened to 7788 for a long time and muttered complaints: "Why did the protagonist suddenly become a demon bloodline?!" King Flacey in the poem is a paladin affirmed by the Holy See, how can a demon blood be affirmed by the Holy See and canonized as a paladin? ”

"What Mr. Meyer said is all hearsay, and it is impossible to say whether it is true or false." Qian Qian sat at the desk and waited quietly for Ivan to come and teach him: "I think I still have to ask Ivan again." ”

"What's wrong? My little Lily? At this time, Ivan pushed open the door and walked in, and at a glance saw Qian Qian sitting at the desk in a daze: "It doesn't seem to be very energetic today?" Uncomfortable? ”

"No," Qian Qian raised his head and looked at Ivan with a grin: "It's just that I heard a confusing story from Mr. Meyer, about Duke Frécy's family." ”

"I see," Ivan raised his eyebrows and bowed slightly at Qian Qian, "You must have heard the legend of the Demon Bloodline." ”

"yes!" Qian Qian sat up straight and pretended to look at Ivan with a curious face: "Is Duchess Fresie really a demon?" Maybe she's a magician! Maybe she disappeared from the tower with some kind of magic? ”

"That's impossible!" With a thick magic book between his elbows, Ivan slowly walked up to Qian Qian and sat on the empty chair opposite her desk: "If a child with magical talent chooses to receive magical education, then she (he) is equivalent to accepting the registration of the Magicians Guild. Magical education is the equivalent of a contract, formed between the teacher and the apprentice, and on the pedigree of the Wizards' Guild, the apprentice's name will be displayed under the teacher's name, and no one will be left out. ”

"So," the magic little white money who was popularized by science looked at Ivan in surprise: "Every magician will know that I am the apprentice of the alchemist Ivan, right?" ”

"Of course not." Ivan smiled and shook his head: "The pedigree table is not public. However, your name will also appear on the Mage's Guild's public roster. Now, you, Lily Burt, have the title of Alchemist's Apprentice after your name. Anyone can see your public information in the Wizards' Guild, but through this information, people will only know that you are a student of an alchemist, and they will not know who your teacher really is. ”

"You mean to say," Qian Qian blinked, "the name of the former Duchess of Fresy is not on the wizard roster, so she is not a magician?" Is it possible that she is a dark mage or a necromancer? ”

"Impossible." Ivan shook his head again: "Black mages are also mages, and the roster of the Wizards' Guild doesn't matter if you know how to use black magic or not." Necromancers are mostly dead mages who have signed the contract of the dead and turned into undead to serve the Grim Reaper, but they are also mages themselves. ”

"So, is it really possible that she's a demon?" Qian Qian asked.

"I didn't say that." Ivan laughed: "There is no evidence that people say she is a demon. Why didn't anyone guess she was an elf druid or an orc witch? ”

"That's even more impossible!" Qian Qian looked at his unreliable teacher with a black line on his face: "The characteristics of these two races are too obvious, and it is basically impossible to disguise themselves as humans, which should be known to everyone." Demons can disguise humans, and they are difficult to detect. ”

"So," Ivan bent his finger and gently tapped on Qian Qian's head, "Everyone's legend says that she is a demon because she disappeared into the night and has never been seen again." But whether she really disappeared or not, no one knows. As far as I know, the Duchess of Frécy had a funeral, and she had a cemetery, but no one wanted to believe that she was dead. ”
