Chapter 10: Too Fast, Not Good
"Master, you're finally out."
"Night, you, why are you here?"
"Night was worried about the safety of the owner, so I followed. I didn't expect your speed to be so fast, master, you should pay attention to taking care of your body. ”
"Huh, what are you talking about?"
"As a Demon King, your surname should be Xiong, too fast is not a good thing for you. ”
"Hey...... I don't understand what you're saying!"
Saying goodbye to Amisaxia, Edward returned to Kane's house and went to sleep comfortably.
Emilya Xia was more obedient than he imagined, and he didn't do anything, and the other party recruited them all. Looks like she's just a stupid girl.
Red's main character, Idir......
This guy Edward has an impression. Ever since Sheila healed his mental wounds, he had been reminded of many things from the past.
In his memory, Idir was a very mysterious fellow, he never participated in any of the southern expeditions, he always stayed in the land of God, and it is even rumored that he has never been in contact with demons......
As a cardinal archbishop, he must shoulder the responsibility of defending the people at a critical moment, and fighting the demons is inevitable, except for him.
Edward didn't know much about him.
In that world, humans and demons were brutally invaded by foreign races, and the entire continent was in danger. Even at the last minute, Idil's presence was still low, and Edward never heard anything about him.
What's next...... Edward didn't bother to think about it. For him, what made him happiest today was something else.
He learns more about Shera's story from Sasha's mouth. Luckily, he was able to determine that Sheila wasn't the one who destroyed the Wings of Guilt, and that she had nothing to do with the traitors.
The people who ambushed the Wings of Guilt and the people who killed Vilvette are supposed to be the same people. In other words, the gate of original sin existed eight years ago.
But judging from Shela's age, she was just born eight years ago, and she was still a baby waiting to be fed at that time, how could she have anything to do with the Gate of Original Sin? Moreover, she only took over the position of Pope two years ago, and everything in the past had nothing to do with her.
Thankfully, fortunately...... If the killer was Sheila, Edward really didn't know how to face his heart.
Although he and Sheila only met in the water, the two can even be called life and death rivals. One is the Demon King and the other is the Pope, and they wish that the other would die sooner than themselves, but they can't hate Xuera Edward anyway, but they feel very kind.
Maybe in the original world, Sheila helped her, so she had a special affection for her.
There was no word for the night, and the peaceful night passed like this......
==================
The sun rose as usual the next day.
The weather is getting warmer, which is great news for Edward.
Today, the Exorcism Salvation Society is similarly idle. George and Flandor had been crazy for a long time, and they didn't even want to show up in the room of the Exorcist Salvation Society, so they went out together early in the morning, not knowing where to run.
Emilia didn't come today. It was said that her injuries had not fully recovered and that she needed to be treated by Kane.
As for Sasha...... She must have a lot of work to do, and with her delicate feelings for Emilia, it's not easy to see her.
As a result, the Exorcist Salvation Society is left with two big idlers, Edward and Arthas.
Central City, High Street.
Familiar streets, familiar storefronts.
Edward stood outside the Resurrection's hut, contented with a delicious ice cream, feeling like the happiest man in the world.
"Master, he seems to have something to say to you. Night was keenly aware of the tense atmosphere around her.
Arthas had been following Edward, with a sad face, as if he had a great grievance to tell, but he couldn't say it.
"Arthas, have you completed all the tasks I gave you?" asked Edward, casually.
"Edward, please don't speak to me in such a commanding tone, I hate it. Arthas frowned, dissatisfied.
"Okay...... Dear Prince, may I ask, have you done what the people have entrusted you to do?" Edward had a black line, too lazy to follow him.
"Hehe, that's pretty much it. Alsace nodded with satisfaction, and seemed to be very useful, "Done is done...... However, chatting with those wooden fish heads, I feel that my IQ has been lowered by them!"
Speaking of which, Alsace had a bitter stomach.
Last night, he spent the night in Rem's office, patiently telling them what was going on.
However, the living treasures of Rem and Lance made him angry enough...... Whenever he touched on a key point, the two of them tacitly interrupted him, as if they had colluded.
Before Arthas could finish speaking, Audley's men were already lying on the ground and falling asleep, and as for Rehm...... Originally, he was the one who was noisy to sleep, but in the end, he was more energetic than anyone else.
Arthas knew that they weren't trying to stall for time, they were just idiots...... Idiots are always attracted to all sorts of nonsense, and it just so happens that the stories Alsace tells them are very nonsense.
Edward gave Arthas the task of gaining their trust by giving them all the information without reservation.
With Edward's strength alone, he was simply not enough to fight against the Gate of Original Sin. In addition to himself, he needs a stronger backer who shares his goals.
The Divine Emperor ** Fang seemed to be the best choice.
As long as he successfully gained the trust of Rem and Lance, Edward had the support of an entire country behind him, and even if the other party was a Holy Ming Sect, he would be enough to fight.
"So, what about their attitude?" asked Edward.
"They said, "I want to see you." ”
"See me?"
"Ahh Arthas shook his head helplessly, "Edward, an unknown member of the Wings of Guilt, an undercover agent lurking in the Everfree Forest, is amazed at your deeds. He didn't expect that someone would be willing to sacrifice himself and become a slave of the demon clan in order to obtain precious information...... They say that you are a real warrior and they admire you very much. ”
"W-This......"
Not to mention them, even Edward himself was surprised.
Am I that good?
"In the afternoon, they'll come to Hoag House to look for you. Arthas shrugged, "My mission is done, Edward, and it's up to you next." How far can you go......"
"Okay, okay. ”
Edward lowered his head and slammed into the ice cream, he smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Arthas, you're also going to join the next expedition to the south, isn't your father worried about your safety?"
"Hehe, you're too worried. Arthas smiled faintly.
Although nominally, the Exorcist Salvation Society will follow the exorcist army to the battlefield to fight the demons, but in reality, who will really let them rush to the front line?
One is the prince of the Holy Empire, and the other is the little princess of the Principality of Valentia, and it is too late for others to protect them, where dare they rush up and fight against the demon army?
No matter how high their talent is, they are still young people, and there is still a long way to go, so they are not in a hurry to deal with the demons overnight.
"In other words, in this southern expedition, we are just going through the motions with the army, and we may not even be able to see a single living demon, we are very safe. Arthas smirked as he smirked the information he had gathered with great difficulty.
Edward was speechless.
Isn't it a living demon standing in front of him?
"Uncle Lane, thank you for your hospitality, your ice cream is really delicious!" Edward said to the shopkeeper with a smile.
"Haha, that's great, come often if you like, and I'll give you half price next time!"
"Thank you boss!"
"Hey, Edward, didn't you tell me where you went last night?" Arthas quickly lowered his head to prevent others from recognizing his face, "Do you have any news about the murderer who poisoned Amilia?"
"Last night, I had a sweet dream. Edward licked the cream off his lips, took Night's arm, and replied gracefully.
"Sweet dreams?"
"I dreamed that Pope Shera kissed me. ”
“...... Edward, don't you care about people scolding you now?" Arthas complained helplessly.
"Haha, who knows. Oops...... Night, I was wrong, I was just kidding......"
The soft underbelly was pinched hard by a slender little hand, and Edward almost cried out in pain.
There is less and less time to spend leisurely, and each ** team goes to the southern border in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Holy See, ready to rush into the Endless Forest at any time and fight to the death with the ** demons!
The Exorcism and Salvation Society is about to embark on a journey...... (To be continued.) )
