Section 248 is incomprehensible

Irene did everything she was supposed to do in this situation.

The interior of the temporary palace was immediately cordoned off on the grounds that "spies from other countries had infiltrated". The Grand Governor of Skadera was to immediately carry out an urgent clean-up of the palace - all the guards, handymen, maids, etc. The little queen was kept in her bedchamber, under the care of Ashrufat and Laria. He himself immediately summoned the relevant officials to discuss the various problems that might arise - especially with General Bayrell and the Church. The former is okay to say, how much can be delayed, the latter is very troublesome.

The high priest repeatedly expressed his apologies, but at this time, the apology did not make much sense. Fortunately, in addition to apologizing, the high priest also said that he was willing to do his part to make up for his mistakes.

An urgent imperial meeting was immediately convened in the prime minister's office. In another place, Ashrufat sat next to the little girl. A female high priestess who is proficient in magic accompanies the young queen at all times, so that she can observe the little queen's physical reactions - if possible - and deal with them in a timely manner.

Ever since she fell victim to that unknown evil magic, the little girl has been asleep. Anyone could quickly tell that this was a very bad state, because neither pinching nor shouting could wake her from her slumber. But other than that, it's barely normal. The little girl seemed to be breathing steadily, and there was no abnormality in any part of her body, but her face was too pale. The church's judgment may well be right, it was a magical attack on spirits. The only trouble is that this magic is most likely deliberately prepared, or even specially developed. So although it is fast and very resistant to interference, it may be quite powerful.

Soon, everyone else in the queen's chamber left, leaving only Ashrufat and the other three.

"You're Count Ashrufat?" the priestess of the church was the first to stir up the conversation. Speaking of which, the woman looked familiar, but Ashrufat couldn't remember who she was.

"It's me. Ashrufat replied. Now, there were only two people in the room as there were no more than three people, and Laria hid her body in the darkness and hid her form. I don't know if it's because of habit or instinct to avoid Ashrufat. "I ...... Looks like I've seen you?"

"We have indeed met," replied the priestess. In particular, the scar on the bridge of Ashrufat's nose is a very conspicuous and striking sign that makes it easy for him to be remembered - anyone who met him could make a lasting impression on it in a short time. "In a very inappropriate time, in a very inappropriate place. ”

"I ...... Not very clear. ”

"Women's bathhouse, do you remember it now?"

Ashrufat immediately remembered. In the original religious festival...... Accidentally he entered the Queen's dressing room......

It turned out to be her?!It was this priestess who raised her hand and gave him a fireball, if he didn't know magic too, it is estimated that even if he didn't die now, he would be covered in flame scars.

But then again, at that time, the priestess's behavior was not wrong. Who told Ashrufat to stay in a place where he shouldn't be (especially when he was discovered)?

"Speaking of which, Count Ashruphat does seem to be proficient in magic. It didn't seem like it was my delusion, and it wasn't my mistake. The priestess's gaze rested on Ashrufat. "A man who has the power of magic can go to battle in armor...... Very rare. I wonder who the Earl studied with?"

Ashrufat snorted and dealt with this sharp question. "At the moment, our most pressing thing is probably not about me, but about our little queen. I heard that the priests of the church are all masters of magic, but I don't know that the priests are interested in the chaos magic that affects Her Majesty...... What do you think?"

"To be honest, I wasn't there for that Chaos Demon. So it's not very clear. The priestess replied frankly. This was due to the fact that the little queen was accompanied by only one person by her side (Lalia was counted separately), and everyone else was outside the house. "She's there, though. ”

She pointed at Laria. "I think Miss Laria should be able to explain it to you carefully. ”

Ashrufat's gaze also turned to Laria. After Ashruphat noticed her, Laria simply gave up trying to hide herself. She began to recount in detail what she had seen. In particular, it shows that the magic of the priests in the church was fully activated at that time, and the Chaos Wizard was not afraid, and shot a green light lightly, hitting the little girl. And such a magic that didn't seem dangerous directly caused the little girl to fall into a coma.

"What kind of magic is this?" Ashruphat asked the priestess.

"To be honest, I don't understand. The priestess admitted. "According to the theory of magic, it is impossible to cast a powerful spell in that situation. Because at that time, the Chaos Wizard Lord had to cross great distances on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was disturbed by the powerful spells that we had cast together many people. ”

"If so...... Somehow hide the magical energy beforehand? After all, they have a Chaos wizard lurking nearby. ”

"That's impossible. The High Priestess carries the Demon Breaker Scroll with him. As soon as he sensed threat, then he would undoubtedly use the Demon Breaker Scroll immediately. However, according to the High Priestess, he did not feel any powerful magical energy at all. Otherwise, he would have used the Demon Breaker Scroll as soon as possible. ”

"So, I don't understand how the Chaos Wizard did this. The priestess sighed. "This Chaos Magic must have been developed deliberately, and it is beyond the scope of my knowledge...... Perhaps it is beyond the theoretical confines of our entire magical system. In this respect, Chaos does have a slight advantage over us. ”

"Oh?" This is the first time that a magician in the Church has admitted that he can't match Chaos in terms of magic.

"Magic should be a prop, a power that can be mastered by humans. Our ordinary magic, the 'Magic Eight Winds', is, essentially, the energy flowing in this world. You are also a magician, so you should understand that manipulating these energies to use magic is essentially the same as manipulating a cannon to send out cannonballs and manipulating a trebuchet to throw stones. In fact, the magician is using external forces, and the manipulator himself is still a human being. But the Chaos Magic ...... The power of the evil god was introduced, and the original wind of magic was distorted, transformed, and polluted. This unscrupulous approach certainly has its conveniences......"

"It's not a psychic attack magic. Just as the priestess was vigorously pitching the ideas of the Church to Ashrufat, a voice sounded behind her.

It was Laria who spoke.

The priestess's gaze immediately turned to Laria. "You know magic, too?" she asked, a little confused. "You know, according to the theory of magic, that Chaos Wizard is impossible ......"

"It's not an attacking magic. Laria said as if to herself. "In that case, at such a close distance, it was so directly interfered with and affected by other magic...... Then instantly unleash a deadly attack spell...... Whether it's a mental attack or a physical attack, it's impossible. ”

"You're a magician, too?"

"No, I'm not...... I...... I don't know magic. Laria replied. "I'm not like you. I don't know anything about magic, but I can use some of the power of magic...... Because I can directly feel the existence of magic. ”

"How is that possible? You're not a magical creature......" In a moment of the priestess's surprise, she felt Laria embrace the wind of magic. But she didn't make any preparations to cast spells, and she didn't even do the most basic things like gathering spirits. It was as if she just grabbed it, and the wind of magic fell into her palm.

With the ability to sense magic that she had cultivated over a long period of time, the priestess realized that the other party's state was not normal...... It's not the way humans use magic, it's much simpler and more straightforward. This is something that even Chaos Wizards can't do, because Chaos Wizards are also humans. Any human magician must have a long or short process of "communicating" the winds of magic before performing magic, which is long or short, but indispensable.

But Laria just ...... If you have to say something, it's more akin to a casual action. Of course, it is also possible that she is very talented, and the process of concentrating on communicating the wind of magic is extremely short, causing outsiders to have a false impression.

Speaking of which, the people of the church don't eat rice. For example, almost all of the church's top brass already knew about Laria's identity. The Queen's female bodyguard, named Laria, is the legendary "Scarlet Rose" in Eagle Falcon City. Of course, they know that Laria is Rhodia's sister. However, the rule in this world is that the king is the supreme representative of the state and the spokesman of the law. This is like recruiting bandits, no matter what crimes the bandits have committed before, as long as the king himself approves of them, then all past crimes will be written off.

"I don't really know any theories," Laria said. "I just...... It's as if you know it naturally. ”

"If it's not offensive magic, what is it?"

"This magic...... It acts as a link. Lalia seemed to be carefully recalling the scene. "It should be...... Tie the will of two people together. ”

The priestess turned her head to look at Ashruphat suspiciously. The latter made a clear "I don't understand" gesture. However, from the thoughtful flickering gaze of Ashrufat, the priestess thought that he might be lying.

"How is the situation of Her Majesty the Queen. Instead of bothering to speculate on Ashrufat's little thoughts, she asked Laria. Because the latter was carefully observing the little girl at this time. The wind of magic can effectively improve the perception of humans, and Lalia is probably trying to find some signs in the little girl.

Laria didn't answer, but continued to look at the little girl's face. At this time, the little girl let out a low moan, and her head twisted. It was the first time she had moaned since she passed out.

Ashruphat immediately came to the little girl's side and looked carefully at the unconscious queen. The little girl didn't just make a sound, her hand seemed to want to grasp something.
