39. Nuns and succubi

PS: The third update ...... Anyway, I'm so tired, I have to go to class and code words, this day is really fulfilling......

If you want to let Aroma make a characterization of the current succubus who is her deputy, Aroma feels that it is not too much to describe it with the word "omnipotent".

Although at first, she was also quite suspicious of the succubus named Gatis (after all, her boss was like that...... But in the time that followed, Gatis proved with his actions that he was definitely not a soy sauce waste. Laundry, cooking, window cleaning, sweeping, bargaining...... There is no doubt that these life skills have been learned to the extent that Gatis has mastered, and in the past two days, Aroma has been fortunate enough to experience the life of a large family - she even thinks that even those palace maids may not be as professional as Gatis, at least, Aroma does not think that ordinary people can make people feel that the dishes seem to shine with brilliant golden light when the lid is lifted after cooking.

Isn't this the exclusive skill of a legendary special chef in a magical country?

Due to the unusual spiritual defense of aromatic people, she didn't have any hallucinations when eating vegetables, but the dishes made by Gatis were enough to make her careful. The so-called "accidentally biting off the tongue" is really not impossible when tasting Gatiss's works.

As for other housekeeping skills, Gatis obviously has a considerable degree of attainment. It's not a demon, it's a powerful demon's ability, and Gatis can do that. Obviously, she has put a lot of effort into these areas – not to mention the rest, her attitude. It is quite rigorous and professional.

It's hard to imagine a powerful succubus spending a lot of time honing these housekeeping skills. And this succubus feels like a taut clockwork alarm clock, full of vitality and rhythm.

Considering that the other party has controlled a country for decades, Gatis's ability to handle government affairs and other aspects is probably also very strong. Otherwise, Esther wouldn't have let her do such an important task. The only thing that puzzled Aroma was that Gatis was a person like Gatis, who was both powerful and intelligent. The succubus, who is even more serious and rigorous, will lose everything he has been operating for decades like that.

She asked Gatis this question, and the answer was clearβ€”first, that she was too aggressive herself, and second, that the enemy was too cunning...... Especially the second point. The look on Gatis's face at the time. It's almost like a minotaur who has been cuckolded.

Similarly, Gatis didn't want to mention her so-called daughter who had taken away everything she had run from her businessβ€”it was more like the determination of a second-year graduate looking back on his own black history than hatred.

- I don't want to discuss this at all! I don't want to talk about it at all!

Because of this, and because Gatis looked really pitiful at the time, Aroma didn't dig any deeper. However, she also secretly wrote down the name of Gatis's daughter.

"Lilier? Uh-huh, there's a chance to meet her. It's good to dig up some of Gatis's black history......]

Well, Gatis aside's failure this time. Her own work ability and work attitude are still worthy of affirmation, at least, she has always been strict with herself, and she can't find anything wrong with her. If there's anything bad about it, it's that when Gatis takes action, she will subconsciously go down the evil path. But this is the nature of demons, and the fragrance is not easy to say, in fact, a demon like a succubus who has a whole race because of the boss, the fragrance really can't ask for more. You can't expect every succubus to have the same mental realm as East, right? Gatiss, who can be sent to the present world by East, can be regarded as the best of her kind.

To sum it up...... Gatis is a capable succubus.

There is no ambiguity.

"By the way, what have you done in the past few decades, Gatiss, and what kind of secret information about the Holy See did you get out in two days?"

"At the beginning, I didn't have only one layer of network, but because I lost that identity, many of the methods that required a certain amount of strength could not be used. However, adults, you must know that we succubi have never relied on violence to solve problems. If I can't do anything, the first thing I think of is not to fight hard to find a comeback, but to abandon the car and save the achievements as much as possible. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have lost to Liliet's girl in the first place...... It's just that my task is not to compete with others, and if I lose, I will lose. I'll be ashamed of my failure, but I won't regret it. ”

Gatis handed Aroma two more papers, which made Aroma look at her twice.

"Again?"

"I can't use the king's methods, but there are still a lot of civilian ways~ And a lot of information, you don't need to pry open the mouths of relevant insiders to know the truth - people will tell lies, but the existing facts are there, they will not be faked, and if you put them together and reason a little, many things are not difficult to know. ”

"Suddenly, I felt that Easter's merit was already immeasurable. ”

Being able to lead the succubus clan to remain neutral and get rid of low-level interests, Esther is really a great man - Aroma can't imagine that if one day the demon world attacks the present world, there will be such a group of unguardable succubi over there. She wasn't afraid of any demons, but Gatiss' was the exception.

"That's natural. Although she didn't know what Fang Xiang was referring to, since she was praising the demon god of her family, Gatis also gladly accepted it.

[Actually, I'm complaining about the person in your family who doesn't do anything!

Of course, aroma doesn't say that. Although Esther seems to be quite unreliable, his status in the minds of succubi seems to be very unusual. It's no wonder that they are even willing to follow Easter and almost split from the demons. Its influence can be seen. To be honest, East is a demon god, but because he is in his own world, it is difficult to directly interfere with the outside world. It also did not bring any practical benefits to the succubus clan, and the succubus clan did not receive substantial sanctions and blows because of the split...... Considering the demon's personality of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, it can be seen that the heritage of the succubus clan is also quite good.

It is so blessed that there is such an enemy in this worldly life.

"That's right, Gattisse. When you were running that country, did you ever get any news about 'Covadron'?"

"Covadron? No, if I'm not mistaken. This man-made god licensed by the ancient elves must have been completely shattered, right? Because the poison is far away, Covadron should be destroyed very thoroughly, so I haven't received any information about it. ”

"Do you think so?"

"Not that I think. Rather, it is the answer I made from the information I received. That's it. ”

"But Esther wants me to deal with Covardron...... Hell, there's not even any scum left, how can I find it! She won't explain it to me directly!"

"Well, please forgive me. Because Lord East lives longer, and she is not as boring as those vulgar demons, Lord East likes to save half of her words for us to figure out for herself. This time, I should forget that you are not a succubus. You're not used to it, are you?"

β€œ......”

Aroma stared at Gatiss's apologetic face for a long time, eventually. He just sighed and didn't say much.

These succubi are not easy either. I'm used to this, and it's not a matter of a day or two. In this way, the succubus clan really has some very good qualities...... At least their mentality is quite optimistic.

"Gatis, isn't your magical network useless?"

"Well, I can only search for existing facts, things that don't exist in the first place, and it's very difficult to generate rumors about it. ”

"Again, do we have to find some other way, like a big library or something?"

"That's a no-brainer, but I'm afraid it's hard for me to get in. However, even if there is a large library with vast resources, the number of guards there is also quite strong, and the means of guarding against all kinds of stealth camouflage magic are endless. Even if I'm confident in my abilities, I can't let go of my hands over there. ”

This is normal, after all, many texts are of extraordinary value, and if they are allowed to infiltrate by lawbreakers, the consequences are unimaginable. And Gatis, who can rely on her camouflage skills to blend in, is actually very rebellious.

"The big library closest to us is the library of the Imperial Capital Academy. ”

At the moment, their eyes were black, and they had no idea what to do about what Easter had entrusted them with, so they glanced at each other and sighed one after another. Whether it's Aroma or Gatiss, it's clear that it's easy to find what you need in the library!

The thought of the shelves full of books makes me feel dizzy.

"But there is another ......trouble that is not a trouble at the moment," Gatis said with some embarrassment, interrupting Aroma's reverie, "because that library belongs to the Imperial Capital Academy, and although it is usually open to the public, it is not like that every day, and only on weekends is it allowed to enter from outside the school. Therefore, if we want to improve efficiency, we must first think of a way to mix in the identity of the faculty and staff of the college. And even so, our workload will probably stretch the time to a fairly long stage......"

"That's fine, Esther hasn't set a time, it doesn't seem like it's a rush of time. However, can't you read freely without being a faculty member? Why don't you try to start with a big library...... Well, Gatis, you didn't tell me about it. ”

Aroma herself rejects that idea.

If you want to talk about the scale and the amount of books in it, it is not for nothing that can be comparable to the library of the Imperial Capital Academy, but those few are all built by elves who love literature and art, although they are also open to humans, but considering that it is on the territory of the elves, Aroma and Gatis still give up. After all, both Gatis and now Aroma are veritable public enemies of the mainland. Their disguise is better than that of humans, but in the eyes of elves who are proficient in magic. Not necessarily. At the beginning, Gatis, as the head of a country, also avoided dealing with elves as much as possible.

And the libraries within the range of other human powers, in terms of scale, are much inferior to those in the imperial capital.

"I'll try to see if I can use legitimate means to get the status of a faculty member of the college......

"Please be sure to use the right means!" Fang Xiang added uneasily, she was really worried that Gatis would use some inauthentic means at this time, and as a result, she would cause unnecessary trouble.

"I'm measured...... In other words, intelligence from the side of the Holy See. Do you still need me to continue to organize and collect for you?"

"Do you know that as a former member of the Holy See, seeing it is almost defenseless in front of a demon like you. I'm having mixed feelings, but that's it, you can continue to collect it for me when you have time. ”

Gatis looked back and saw that Aroma was looking at the paper in her hand a little depressed, and she couldn't help laughing.

"My lord, you have basically no psychological burden for betraying humans~"

Gatis has also seen many humans who have taken refuge in demons, and they are all without exception. It's all based on the purpose of craving power. Betrayed goodness. But when it comes to completely breaking with humans, it is quite rare to take refuge on the side of demons, but there are still some after all. Crazy guys are not uncommon since ancient times.

Either way, they always have a very clear purpose - otherwise, who will have enough to eat. It's no good to be a traitor, who will do it?

But in the eyes of this human being. Gatis didn't see that kind of red fruit desire.

Is it because she used to be a member of the Holy See? Gatis thinks no, although she has not tried to seduce the human depravity, but she has also seen many people who have been seduced by her people, many of whom were so-called believers who originally believed in the light. However, even if they were able to overcome their own desires, they were seduced by the succubus, because they were not able to overcome their own confusion.

When confusion and faith collide, if the will is not strong enough, the faith will be shaken, and there is no way to do it.

But this person does not have the emotion of "confused". For someone who is so clear as a mirror and can't know where to start, Gatis instinctively has a feeling of discomfort - based on the instinct of a succubus.

There would be no succubus who would want to be an adversary to such a person, just as there was someone like Gatiss among the enemies of the same fragrance and neither wanted to be herself.

Compared with a powerful enemy, an enemy who has no way to attack is obviously more troublesome. Whether it's gatisse or aromatic, they think so. And on the first day they met, they understood that they were the kind of enemies that each other feared the most - fortunately, they were not.

What scares Gatisse the most is that she doesn't find out that Aroma is human in the first place.

She really thought that the person Esther had asked her to help was a demon - although this demon of unknown breed did not have the usual demonic confusion, but in any case, she did not think it was a human in the skin of a demon.

If this human named Aroma strips off the outermost pair of skins and replaces it with any pair, Gatis will not feel out of harmony - not only demons, but even elves, orcs, dwarves and even dragons, if they are replaced by Aroma, I am afraid there will be no strange and discordant discord in the body of Aroma. It's not surprising that this person is undoubtedly qualified as a human being, but it's quite terrifying to say that he can be compatible with all races.

Let's just say that she's more than just human.

On a human basis, she has something above her. And this kind of thing can also be applied to other races, even demons.

This kind of thing is called "original heart".

She is first and foremost a "fragrance", and secondly, a "person" or a "demon".

It is not surprising that the esteemed Lord Esther would deliberately let a human shoulder such an important task, and it is not surprising why the great Lord Esther would know a human - because even she herself inevitably has a "respect" for the human "fragrance". Succubi, like her, is the most aware of the difficulty of keeping her heart intact and implementing her heart into her words and deeds, daily life and beliefs. Gatis even felt sorry for the fragrance......

If she was not born in this era, but in that distant and chaotic era, that era when demons were rampant, with her ability and chance, it would definitely be a very simple thing to become a revered god. It's just that in this day and age, the road to the God's Seat has been closed.

Becoming a god doesn't have to be a cause for joy...... But the kind of guy who doesn't even know his heart, and only relied on luck to get to the throne, not to mention that East regards him as a false god, even Gatis, he doesn't think much of them.

"Gatiss, are you sure it's true?"

The fragrance suddenly interrupted Gatiss' deep thought.

"What's wrong?"

Gatis looked at the blank piece of paper that Aroma held up......

"The Holy See wants to abolish the Exorcist Corps - yes, I can be sure of its authenticity. According to a lot of information and facts, even if the Holy See does not put it on the table, it is basically a sure thing. ”

"Really...... Well, it's nothing, it's just a little nostalgic. ”

Sure enough, it still doesn't work, is his hard work back then just a drop in the bucket?β€”β€” looking at this news, Fang Xiang couldn't help but feel a sigh. (To be continued......)
