Chapter 18: The Sleeping Princess
Oliver's eyes were firmly fixed on the knight's greatsword, wielding it one by one, as the best knight, it was necessary to maintain a good understanding with the weapon in his hand.
A woman sits upright on a garden bench, her posture is graceful, and if you ignore the terrifying face comparable to that of an evil ghost, the woman's temperament and the surrounding environment are unexpectedly harmonious.
Oliver gasped slightly to finish his morning repair, a slight white air rose up and down his body, he glanced at Talia, who was numb like a puppet, put away his big sword, and gently wiped the sweat from his body with a dry towel.
"Elijah crowned. ”
Oliver shouted respectfully.
Elijah, a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance but a resolute expression, bowed slightly to Oliver, and then set his eyes on Taria.
She hadn't spoken, and the Detective had no effect on her. Oliver couldn't help but speak.
"It doesn't matter anymore. Elijah said indifferently, "I can sense that the demon's aura is getting stronger and stronger, and it will soon be tempted to show its feet. Imprison this wicked witch. ”
"Okay. ”
Oliver looked at Talia with a blank look of pity. He had already known what had happened to Talia, and in his mind, he had always regarded Talia only as a poor woman who had been seduced by the devil.
A man hurried towards the two men, dressed in a pure white gown, shawl, and square hat, dressed as an archbishop.
The archbishop of the Lore Kingdom wanted to salute the two separately with a respectful face, and said, "Your Majesty, the king has invited the two of you to come over. ”
Oliver frowned: "If it's another banquet, help me apologize to the king, just say I'm not feeling well." ”
The powerhouse of the Great Knight level is not feeling well, and he is afraid that he will laugh off his big teeth when he says it. But Oliver really didn't want to face those aristocrats anymore.
As the head of the Knights of Light, his status in the Holy See is second only to the Pope and the Holy Maiden, and he was warmly welcomed by the royal family as soon as he arrived in this remote kingdom.
Once or twice is fine, but after a few times, Oliver is annoyed when he sees those fly-like nobles.
The archbishop hurriedly explained: "It shouldn't be a banquet. It is said that Princess Sophia, the missing flower of the kingdom, has returned, and the king wants to invite the two to officiate at the christening ceremony for the princess. ”
Is it the amazing beauty of Princess Sophia, whose skin is as white as snow, whose hair is as ebony, and whose lips are as red as blood?
Oliver was intrigued, curious about what the princess looked like, and was about to agree.
Suddenly, Elijah's expression beside him changed greatly, and he took out a crystal ball covered with black gas from his arms, and said hurriedly: "The demon is nearby." ”
Elijah held the crystal ball and rushed out of the garden as quickly as possible, "Oliver, hurry up and follow." ”
Oliver's face was also grim, and he hurriedly threw down a sentence: "Leave the matter of baptism to the bishop, don't forget to imprison the witch." ”
Oliver followed Elijah and disappeared in an instant.
The archbishop had apparently not yet reacted, and after a few moments he turned his head to look around the empty garden, and his face suddenly turned pale.
That witch, why is it gone?
...
Carlo sent Sophia outside the city-state of the kingdom and followed Carabosse's instructions further afield.
According to Carabosse's memory, the princess, who had been cursed by her to sleep for a hundred years, was in another kingdom.
Carlo was a little impatient, so he simply spread his demon wings and flew in the sky with Carabosse, lest the sleeping beauty die of old age first.
Carlo's flight speed was still very fast, and with a slight flap of his wide fleshy wings, he could glide forward for a long distance, but it took him three days to reach this kingdom called Bauhin.
The Kingdom of Bauhinia is much smaller than the Kingdom of Lore, its royal city is not as small as a small town, and the royal palace is just a small castle surrounded by vines and thistles.
Carlo folded his wings and fell, dropping Carabosse to the ground. As soon as Carabosse hit the ground, he coughed violently, and it would not be easy for anyone to be lifted by the collar and fly in the sky for three days, but she suffered a lot.
"Dear master, right here. Calabosse pointed to the tip of the castle and said, "There she is, I can feel her breath." ”
"Let's go. Carlo looked at the attic at the very top of the castle with anticipation in his eyes.
The guards of the palace were useless, and Carlo saw the chief of the guards who were having sex with the maids, the dozing guards, and the cooks who secretly stuffed silver cutlery into their pockets.
This is a kingdom that has decayed to the extreme, and is slowly turning to dust over time.
Carlo flew to the very top of the castle, with Carabosse by her side, and now she had learned to perform a levitation spell on herself.
"It's inside. Carabosse whispered.
Carlo could feel the signs of life in the shadows of the attic.
Just as he was about to break in, suddenly there were hints in his mind that the experience value was increasing, and he knew in his heart that Sophia, who couldn't hold back, started to act.
Carlo didn't hesitate any longer, and walked into the attic in the moonlight.
"Who?!" exclaimed, and a beautiful woman over forty years old hid by the bed in a panic, "Who are you?"
Carlo looked at the woman's face by the moonlight, there were wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her face was quite delicate and beautiful, and she didn't look like an old woman who had lived for two hundred years.
But the hot demon tattoo clearly tells Carlo that there is a child of divine grace in front of him.
"Is that her?"
Carabosse nodded, with a strong sour taste in his tone: "The physique of these sons of the gods is really jealous. ”
Carlo's figure shook slightly, and he disappeared in place in an instant, and the next moment, he suddenly appeared in front of the beauty-woman.
"You.. What do you want to do?" cried the woman in panic. Carlo noticed that she was making some inconspicuous movements, and a green light flashed between her hands, and then two thin vines quickly grew from the floor and wrapped around Carlo's ankles.
However, only second. With a little force, Carlo broke the vine.
Compared to Sophia, the power of this child of divine grace seems to be pitiful.
"I need your soul. Carlo sighed slightly, and reached out and pressed his palm against the woman's forehead.
He tried to imprint his own traces on the woman's soul, but he was greatly hindered.
This obstruction is caused by a woman's obsession, and at the same time it causes intense pain to herself.
"Wait.." The woman was sweating profusely in pain, and couldn't help but shout: "As long as you do me a favor, I can choose to surrender." ”
Carlo's eyes flashed, and he let go of his hand with interest and asked, "Tell me about it." ”
There was an extremely resentful look in the woman's eyes: "Help me kill two people." ”
"Who?"
"A witch, and the king of the Kingdom of Bauhints. ”
