0111 Layla

"You must think it's weird." After seeing Layla leave the room, Seria smiled helplessly.

"What?"

"My sister, Layla."

Truly.

Ringer couldn't help but nod.

It is normal for a teenage girl to have some strange behaviors and thoughts.

But obsessed with summoning demons is beyond the norm.

According to what Ringer learned from the book, the demons of this world are absolutely evil creatures, symbolizing disaster and death, and are feared by people, and only cultists are willing to have anything to do with such things.

But Layla, as the lord's youngest daughter, lives in a well-guarded castle, and cultists shouldn't have access to her, so where does her love for demons come from? You can't be born with it.

Compared to this, it doesn't seem a big deal that she will use her body at a young age and use her sister's personal belongings to buy strange men.

"Why does she like demons so much?" Ringer asked.

Seria glanced out the door, as if to make sure there was anyone outside, then turned around and led Ringer and Lanya to the couch and sat down. The white sofa with soft and skin-friendly velvet is very comfortable to sit on.

"Layla was once possessed by a demon."

Serya's first words shocked Ringer's heart, and Lanya, who was stroking the soft sofa, also stopped her little hand and stared at her in surprise.

"Layla is my youngest sister, and it is said that when she was born, her eyes were blood-red, and instead of crying like a normal baby at birth, the corners of her mouth rose strangely, like an evil smile."

"Not only that, but when she sleeps, she also lets out a wry laugh, which frightens the maid who takes care of her."

"Maids also have strange hallucinations in the nursery, such as seeing blood flowing from the crib, always feeling that there is a pair of evil eyes peeping in the dark, and having nightmares when secretly napping."

"Less than a week after Layla was born, all kinds of strange rumors spread among the maids, and soon no maids dared to approach the nursery."

"At first, the father didn't believe it and punished the maids harshly, until he saw with his own eyes the hallucinations of blood spilling in the crib."

Lanya shrunk back and leaned nervously towards Ringer, as if listening to a horror story.

Ringer remembered the appearance of Layla he had just seen, and her eyes were not red, indicating that something must have happened later to make her return to normal.

"And then?"

Seria glanced at the two on the couch and continued:

"My father and mother were scared and invited the monks of the monastery. The monks discovered that a sleeping demon was lurking in Layla's body, and immediately advised her father to kill Layla, who was only a week old, so that when she grew up, the demon would take over her body and cause trouble. ”

"Father and mother couldn't bear to make this decision, and when they hesitated, a wandering mage approached my father and said that he could purify the demons in Layla's body without harming her life, but he would take Layla away for a year."

"Father agreed, and gave Layla to the mage to take away secretly without telling the monks of the monastery."

"A year later, the mage sent Layla back, by which time her eyes had returned to normal, no longer a horrible red, and all kinds of horrible hallucinations had never appeared again."

"That mage won't be sent back with a similar baby." Ringer thought of that possibility.

"No, on the first night Layla was sent back, her father checked her bloodline and confirmed that she was Layla. Father and mother were overjoyed and wanted to thank the mage, but the mage did not stay in the castle long and left that night. ”

"Do you know his name?"

Seria shook her head slightly: "No, from beginning to end, the mage did not leave any information about his identity. My father sent someone to investigate, but there was no result. ”

"Later, the monastery learned of the news and quickly sent a monk to the door to ask her father to hand over Layla."

"Although my father is the lord of Lordland, he did not dare to confront the monks of the monastery head-on, so he had to hand over Layla, and at the same time claim that the demon in Layla's body has been removed."

"The monks examined Layla's body carefully and found that the demon in her body had indeed disappeared, but they still kept Layla in the monastery for a year to observe and confirm that she was not a threat before sending her back."

After listening to Seria's story, Ringer pondered:

"You mean, Layla was influenced by her experiences as a child, so she was interested in demonic things? But she was still a baby at the time, so she shouldn't be able to remember what happened around her, right? ”

"No, she doesn't know about these things." "She's interested in demons when she's older. ”

When her father found out about this, he was frightened, fearing that the demon in her was still affecting her, and sent her to the convent. But the monks found no sign of the presence of demons in her body, believing it to be some wonderful coincidence and sent her back. ”

"Despite this, my father sends Layla to live in the convent for a month every year, and strictly forbids Layla from magic, so don't promise to teach her."

Ringer laughed: "I'm a magic apprentice, where can I be embarrassed to accept an apprentice." ”

Seria suddenly looked at Ringer seriously, looked at her feet from head to foot, and then said, "How do I think, you are different. ”

"Really? Where is the difference. ”

Selia touched her chin: "I feel that you have become stronger, which makes my body move, this is my intuition cultivated by constantly fighting with strong enemies, and it is usually very accurate." ”

Ringer thought to himself, she is really sensitive, she has obviously integrated the magic horn into the void, she can still detect the abnormality, the intuition of the martial artist is so accurate?

As a teammate, she should be informed of what happened to her, but would she mind joining the Underground faction herself?

He planned to sell it for the time being, and said with a smile: "In addition to bartending in the store, I spend most of my free time reading books after work, how can I suddenly become stronger." ”

Seria was skeptical, could her instincts really be wrong?

This situation is the first time she has appeared after cultivating the strong induction, is it because she has returned home and her body is slack?

It seems that exercising in the house is still not as good as a real battle, no, you have to find a strong opponent to recover as soon as possible.

As she was secretly making a decision, she heard Ringer ask:

"So Layla likes demons, is it really just a coincidence?"

"It should be, except when she was born, until she is now thirteen years old, except for her strange personality, there is no other abnormality."

"By the way, my father wants to see you." Seria suddenly remembered this, "Father specially instructed me that after you come, I must invite you to meet him. ”

"Now?"

"Tomorrow, of course, he'll prepare a dinner party to formally thank you."

"No problem, then I'll pick you up tomorrow?"

"No, I'll go over now. I'll come back with you when you get off work tomorrow. I've heard the news of the undead attacking Castalon, and I'm in dire need of a formidable opponent right now. ”
