Chapter Seventy-Two: Chaos Demon
What is a demon? Leah cares a lot about the term. According to the cultural beliefs of the earth, the concept of demons is not difficult to find.
But this is the continent of Ivete, what is a demon?
With this question in mind, Leah went to Randall's Royal Library. If Bishop Albin was able to find information about Rain Ji from here, perhaps ...... "demon" was once written in it.
But this is a vast project, and little Lori has to stay day and night in this sea of books because of this.
A few days later......??? "So, are you going to live in the library?"
Little Lori was flipping through a big book that was so thick that it was scary to death, and suddenly remembered the princess's voice behind her.
"No, I don't like the air here. β
She didn't turn back, but responded as she flipped through the information.
"So, what is this?"
Something was pulled on her head, and Leah looked up to find that the princess was holding on to the two pointed ears of the kitten's pajamas, and as for the pajamas themselves, they were naturally wearing on her.
"It's only these two days, a little ...... A little too much effort, eh, hehe. β
She stuck out her little tongue playfully. Because she found a clue, she used the library as a bedroom in one go.
"I'd love to see Leah's kitten curled up in a lump and fall asleep, but as you said - the air here is not good, and patients are not allowed to stay in a place where the air is bad. β
Isabella continued to tug at the cat's ears and said.
"Alright, alright. I see. I don't have to stay here anymore anyway. β
Leah closed the book in surrender.
"Oh, so there's a clue?"
The princess's eyes lit up.
"It was all luck at the end of the day, and I found some literature on the third taboo. Driven by curiosity, I read it hastily, and finally saw the word 'demon'. β
Leah flipped to another book, pointed to one of the pages, and said:
"The demons of Chaos, simply called demons, or Chaos Demons, refer to the creatures of the continent of Evette who have embraced Chaos. Not all life can be transformed into demons. Generally speaking, they must possess two basic qualities:
A strong physique, the power of chaos needs flesh and blood as a carrier. Those who cannot withstand this power will be assimilated by chaos and then annihilated in the world.
Terrible obsessions, chaos can affect the consciousness of a being, if not almost a curse-like obsession. Chaotic thinking gradually obliterates the consciousness of a life itself. Transform it into a beast that hates all order.
The demon uses the power of chaos as its source, and all its actions are only related to the obsession of the past, and the hatred of order and the world. β
"With a strong physique, he was once Randall's strongest fighter. β
Isabelle's face was a little ugly.
"Terrible obsession, that man's attachment to the family to an almost pathological degree. β
Leah's face was similarly melancholy.
"I think you're right. β
Isabella said.
"Alas...... How I wish I had guessed wrong. β
Leah sighed.
"But one thing is lucky, and that's ...... Look here - the erosion of consciousness by chaos will change depending on the depth of the obsession. The deeper the obsession, the more sanity can be maintained. The shallower the obsession, the more the way of thinking is biased towards the beast. For example, another monster from Chaos, the Chimera. β
Leah pointed to a passage from the book and said:
"If Arman had a clear idea, then he shouldn't just be in Ironwing, but he should take the initiative and even storm Randall to fight us. β
"So now he's more like a beast entrenched in a lair, and will only be hostile to those who enter the Iron Wing Castle, because that's where his family once been?"
Isabella understood what Leah meant.
"That's right, if I had to say, that one would be harmless if left untouched. β
Leah nodded, for the beast, if it doesn't take the initiative to harm people, the best thing to do is to leave it alone.
"I'm more worried about who is behind this matter? The word demon cannot be known to ordinary people, and the rumors are deliberately released, just like war letters. Is it Germaine Kashadra? or ......?"
"Or both. If it's that android, we're more worried about Ankaty, and that thing's power on the battlefield is on the same level as Leah's chant.
And if Germain is behind this, he will do everything possible to bring us into Ironwing, just as he did with his father and mother. β
At the mention of the man, Isabella showed a gritted tooth expression.
"I need to contact the Great Sage, the minions of Chaos have arrived at Randall. As for Germain...... Whatever his intentions were. Bring in an army to surround the Iron Wing. β
Isabella immediately decided, she said goodbye to little Lori, and prepared to deploy a new operational order......
While Leah and Isabella were discussing their actions, Leona was staring at the sky in a daze, far away at the castle gate.
Although the current war is in full swing, the order she received is to adjust her mentality.
It can't be said that this is a false order, and now she does feel confused. Every day, every day, every time she closed her eyes, the rain fell, and the duke's empty eyes from excessive despair would appear in her dreams.
Painful thoughts are like a labyrinth with no exit, never finding the right answer, all she can do is forget, forget, forget as much as she can.
But she has nothing to do at the moment, which is terrible, because the more she has nothing to do, the more cranky she becomes.
Smack!
She slapped her cheek twice vigorously, pulling her thoughts out of the mire of grief. In order to keep herself busy, she took on the task of guarding the castle gates - a duty that would have been the duty of ordinary soldiers.
"Huh?"
When she came back to her senses, she noticed a strangely dressed girl walking not far awayβwhite hair, a tattered cloak, and a bandage covered in runes.
"Stop!"
"Who are you!?"
The scene before them was too out of common sense to alert the guards, and they approached the girl with their spears in hand.
"Wait...... Wait......"
The instincts she had cultivated over the years on the battlefield made her sense of danger, and Leona raised her hand, trying to stop the soldiers from continuing to get closer to the girl, but ......
"Uh......"
"Woo!"
Everything was still a step too late, the girl silently cut off the rune bandages on her body, and in an instant, some of the approaching soldiers scratched their necks, as if they couldn't breathe, and blood flowed from someone's ears and mouth, and they fell to the ground one after another, not moving.
"Poison!?"
Leona took a few steps back and drew the sword at her waist.
"Carlisle is at the Blue Cheese Inn. Again, Carlisle is at the Blue Cheese Inn. β
The girl's voice was devoid of emotion, as if it were just a machine that conveyed messages, and it was like a mobile phone that sent text messages, tightly performing the necessary functions. (To be continued......)
