In the corridor of the Count's Palace, countless tiny black particles slowly emerged, forming a tall and slender figure, which was Dante.

He snapped his fingers.

The open window closed suddenly, and the extinguished lampstand lit up again.

"Well done, Miss Lagaia, you don't look like a fledgling wizard." ”

"But there are still some flaws, and truly experienced wizards will only use the least amount of magic to inflict maximum damage in battle. ”

"The sorcery of Insight into Weaknesses, combined with targeted low-sequence sorcery, is more than enough to easily take out those enemies outside the city. ”

"Pursuing powerful witchcraft can often make you feel constrained. ”

"Of course, your cooperation with Leon just now is definitely the key to victory, without you, he may not be able to touch the puppet demon's body. ”

"Thank you for your advice. ”

Lagaia was a little surprised, she really didn't expect Dante to have such a deep understanding of wizards.

Dante looked at Leon again.

He was not lacking in relief: "Instant Hell is good, with the potion system that Lady Angelina has built for you, even if you don't have a helper, you will have a chance to wrestle with ordinary mid-sequence demons." ”

These comments were extremely accurate, if it weren't for the fact that Leon had piled up the storm knight's surge in advance during the battle.

At the last moment, he may not have a chance to kill the puppeteer before he escapes!

He said seriously: "It's all thanks to your teaching. ”

Dante smiled: "Don't be modest, you did a really good job, time is so tight, to be honest, even I didn't expect you to play so well." ”

He asked again, "Did you get the talent?"

"Of course. ”

Leon stretched out his hand, and the magic power suddenly turned into invisible silk threads and landed on the remains of those lickers.

Soon, the scattered pieces of minced flesh and wood were reunited under the action of invisible silk threads.

At the same time, the magic power in Leon's body began to flow rapidly.

As the licker stands up, the passage decreases, but it still requires a great deal of mana to maintain its movements.

If you want to permanently turn it into your own puppet, it will cost more mana, which is not at all something that Leon, who has consumed most of the power in his body, can afford.

He had no choice but to disarm it, and the licker was reduced to a wreckage again.

Lagaia was surprised, "You got the puppet demon's powers?"

"Yes. ”

LaGaia couldn't help but sigh: "The witcher still has such an ability, no wonder he can give birth to a powerful character like you, Mr. Dante." ”

Dante looked at Leon, but he didn't correct Lagaia's misconception of the witcher, probably wanting Leon to explain it himself.

Instead, he said: "This time I was lucky, before I came, I didn't expect it to be a puppet demon." ”

"The puppeteer's abilities are very comprehensive, whether it is reconnaissance, auxiliary combat, or jamming the enemy, it can be very effective. It's a pity that as the primordial demons of the abyss, their number is too scarce, and they are in the middle sequence, otherwise they will definitely replace the terror demon and become the best target for all demon hunters to hunt demons for the first time. ”

"Follow me. ”

Dante motioned for the two to follow him to the hall on the first floor.

At this time, the hall was empty, the door was open, and the cold wind carried the heavy rain down on the door, and a pool of water had accumulated.

Dante did not stop there, but stepped over the waterhole and led Leon and Lagaia to the stables in the courtyard.

At this time, the stables were already crowded and full of people, it was Earl Campbell and others who had left before.

"Them?"

At first, he was startled, thinking that they were all dead, but later realized that these people were still breathing, but they were just unconscious.

"They were planted with puppet threads, and the moment the puppet demons died, they should have died after them, and I saved these people. ”

Dante said: "I can't blame you for this, after all, you don't know that the puppet demon still has this method, so you don't need to blame yourself." ”

Leon asked, "How did such a thing as a puppet demon come about?"

Dante stretched out his hand, and a metal fragment emitting a rich purple glow appeared in his hand: "There is the answer you want in the Fallen Soul Bronze Mirror, do you want to see it?"

Li Ang was surprised: "Isn't the Fallen Soul Bronze Mirror only looking at the future of the fallen soul?"

"The past is much easier to peek into than the future. ”

Dante chuckled and said, "As for fallen souls, don't you think puppet demons count? It is the product of fallen souls after they become demons, and all original demons are fallen souls." ”

Lagaia wondered, "What is this?"

"If you're curious, hold it together, and you'll see how the puppet demon was born. ”

Lagaia looked up at Leon and saw that he had not hesitated to hold the metal shard, so she followed suit.

In an instant, she felt her consciousness break away from her shell, fly into the sky, and then travel through the deep corridor of time to the past.

......

When Teresa was three years old, she fell in love with puppets.

Count Campbell specially invited the best puppeteer in Milan for her, and ordered a puppet for Teresa that could twist and walk on a clockwork.

The puppet became Teresa's playmate for many years.

But as it grew older, the puppet grew dilapidated, with scars of various sizes, and even the clockwork was broken.

With the arrival of a variety of new puppets, Teresa quickly became tired of the old puppets.

The old puppets gradually became dusty in the corners, and eventually, they were thrown into the fireplace by the maid.

Day after day, more and more old puppets were bored by Teresa, and they were repeatedly thrown into the fireplace and burned, and then made by new puppeteers and sold to Teresa.

Finally, one day, the dust in the fireplace formed the outline of the puppet demon - it gave birth to its own will, and became powerful day after day.

It hibernates until one day it matures and emerges from its cocoon, and then begins its own brutal revenge.

But when you think about it, her initial revenge didn't mean to hurt Teresa, and it seemed to be just proving to Teresa that she was a more perfect puppet than all her new puppets.

But as it was thrown into the fireplace again, the resentment in its heart was completely ignited.

......

The two woke up suddenly, and they were shocked to see in each other's eyes.

No one expected that the prototype of the puppet demon was actually a collection of puppet resentment.

Do puppets also have minds?

Wouldn't even the mountains, rivers, plants and trees be able to turn into demons?

This simply shattered people's perception of demons.

Especially Li Ang, he felt that this kind of thing was very similar to Huaxia's monsters, after all, only Huaxia would have this kind of setting that everything has a spirit.

Dante lamented: "Not only will humans degenerate into demons, but the future of this world will long be bleak. ”

"Help me carry them back to the house first, they should be in a coma for a long time, and if they lie down like this, they will probably get sick. ”

"It doesn't have to be so much trouble. ”

Lagaia silently performed the lowest "trick" of the low sequence: the hand of magic.

Even the mantra was omitted, and after a few trips back and forth, people were moved back into the hall, which inevitably rained a little.

Especially Teresa.

Lagaia has an obviously poor impression of this little princess who is extremely self-centered and calls herself the pearl of Syracuse, so she deliberately let her rain a little more.

The same goes for Leon.

Although he did not maliciously retaliate against a little girl, it did not mean that he did not care about some of the "uncomfortable" remarks that Teresa had said to them before.

That night, they found two random rooms in the Earl's Mansion to rest.

You can't stay in the main building, and the smell of corpses emitted by the remains of the lickers is simply not something that ordinary people can bear.
