"Too, what a faux pas! How dare you ...... me?"

Zheng!

The Templar sword was unsheathed and placed next to the man's bloodless cheek, and the boy asked again faintly, "Where did you get this book?" ”

"Witch!"

The man, who finally understood that his clumsy deception could not deceive the knight in front of him, fell decisively to the ground, abandoning all his dignity, and with tears streaming down his eyes, he pressed his head to the cold ground, begging for forgiveness.

It hardly took the boy to do anything, just to pierce his comical disguise, and the man's weakness was revealed.

The man trembled and said, "I got this book from a witch in the city. ”

"A witch?" The boy raised his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Where did you know about the existence of witches?" ”

"Yes, it was when I was drinking in the tavern that I heard from a couple of homeless men at the next table," the man recalled, "They said that in the old inn at the end of the alley, there was a witch with the power to grant wishes. ”

"And then you went?" The boy continued.

"Yes, yes, I was penniless and in dire need of a job." The man replied honestly.

"It's funny, you don't have a penny on you, why would that witch promise to help you?" The boy asked with interest.

"You're right, the witch seems to know I'm coming, and has prepared the conditions for me in advance," the man looked up at the boy in horror and said, "As long as I agree to come and serve Earl Scaret, that's what she wants." ”

"Oh?" The boy was slightly surprised.

I thought it was a coincidence, but I didn't expect it to be calculated early in the morning.

I am afraid that the witch had doubts about Scarlet's bloodline early on, and specially took advantage of the bishop's search for Scarlet's governess to release the news to attract this man to test Scarlet's background.

Roughly guessing the witch's thoughts, the boy snapped his fingers, and the man felt a wave of drowsiness hit him, and after a while he lay on the ground and snored.

"Well, Mr. Dragaga, what shall we do?" Gloria, the maid who had witnessed some of them, did not seem to show much resistance to the boy's approach, but was only surprised by the endless methods of the other party.

"Put him in the basement first." After thinking about it, the teenager made such a decision.

"Okay." Gloria grimaced, as if she was struggling with how to drag the big man into the basement with her small size.

"Ah, wait." The boy suddenly turned around again, his eyes fell on Gloria, and he was silent for a long time.

"What, what's wrong?" Perhaps the boy's intent to look at it was too obvious, and Gloria seemed a little overwhelmed.

The boy's gaze paused for a moment on Gloria's blonde hair, then reached out and stroked her long hair.

"Mr. Dragaga?!" Gloria shrank back like a rabbit.

Feeling the smooth touch from his fingertips, the young man said, "Your hair seems to be well maintained, and the hair color is also very pure." ”

"Hehe," said Gloria, who had been praised, at once forgetting the embarrassment she had just had, and puffing out her chest complacently; "The nun used to say that people's hair is the envy of the nobles when they see it, and I am the life of the eldest lady's maid."

"I don't have a problem with that." The boy smiled meaningfully and reached out to remove the maid hairpin from Gloria's head.

......

......

The baron's credibility was still there, and within a few days the Grand Duke sent a considerable fortune, but at the same time they arrived with the Church's mission.

And surprisingly, the scale of their sorties was terrifying, and the number of people who were able to fight was about seventy, not counting the accompanying minions.

Most of them are powerful beings in the Church who specialize in heretical hunting, and they wear formidable black armor, more like the legendary Black Knights than the servants of God.

"Scarlet, Your Majesty has been ordered to bring greetings from the Pope."

After knocking on the gate of the castle, the knight at the head said only one sentence, and his eyes hidden under the iron helmet were full of solemnity and indifference.

Being watched by these eyes, the young man was neither humble nor arrogant, and raised his face to show a smile that stopped at the point: "I'm honored." ”

The outer side of the castle was guarded by forty knights, and more than twenty knights stayed in the hall, and the knight at the head followed the boy to the study with only two retinues.

The crowd seemed to have decided that Scarlett's collusion with the demon did not cause the boy to worry.

It was only natural for him to do the work of a butler, entertaining the knights.

Beneath the helmet of the leading knight is a face serious enough to scare a crying child, and although there is no scar, it is obvious that you can feel the fortitude of being a warrior.

"His Holiness was very sad to hear of the tragedy of Scarlet, the devil is our common enemy, and I hope you will understand our offense." The knight's deep voice was like a hammer of judgment, hanging over the boy's head, ready to fall.

"I totally understand."

The boy was not overwhelmed by the might of the other party, and calmly told the knight the story he had already prepared.

After listening, the knight only nodded slightly, and then asked, "Did you find anything about the reason for the demon's appearance?" ”

"Not really."

"I heard that before the demon attacked the castle, the last earl of Scarlet seemed to have recalled all the knights in the territory, why is that?"

"I'm afraid ...... about this," the boy put away his smile, leaving the knight with a look of refusal.

"Can I see Earl Scarlett down here?" The knight took a step forward, leaving no room for the boy to reply, and his gaze was directed at the door behind him, and the breath he felt from then on made him very concerned.

"I'm sorry, but the eldest lady doesn't want to see anyone." The boy put his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist and stood in front of the knight.

The "......" knight did not speak, but the two retinues behind him had already assumed a posture of drawing their swords.

His condescending gaze pressed the boy with a terrifying look, and the momentum of the two collided in the silent air, and the battle was about to break out.

"Get out of the way." The knight also put his hand on the sword at his waist and gave the boy an ultimatum.

"I can't do it." The boy's answer was firm.

Clang!

Almost at the moment when the young man's words fell, the knight's sword came out of its sheath like lightning and directly hit the young man's sword, and at the same time, the entourage behind him quickly pressed the sword against the young man's neck.

Bypassing the boy who had been taken, the knight pushed open the door behind him.

"Huh?!!" The girl's frightened voice came.

"Miss!" The boy tried to struggle, but he couldn't escape the suppression of the two knights.

Coldly staring at the blonde Miss Scarlett in front of her, the knight bent his knees after a few seconds of silence: "It's rude, Your Excellency the Earl. ”

"You, who are you!" Miss Scarlett looked frightened, shrunk into her chair, and resisted to talk to the knight.

“......”

The knight did not speak, but reached out and took the book from the arms of the terrified Earl Scarlet, then bowed and withdrew from the room, closed the door, and asked the young man, "Your Excellency Draga, do you know anything about this book?" ”
