late at night.
A figure was scurrying back and forth on the streets and roofs of the capital, running at a high speed like no one was in the middle of nowhere, completely ignoring the knights who were frantically searching the capital.
[The king's capital has been invaded by demons! 】
[The noble and the devil have an affair! 】
[The devil killed the noble in the street! 】
All kinds of public opinion set off a huge wave in the capital, making both the people and the nobles nervous, and they couldn't help feeling unconfident about the safety of the capital.
After all, this is the capital of the kingdom, and it will be invaded by demons. Who wouldn't be afraid of such a thing?
This figure came to the corner of the castle, and through the magic perception, he found a well-hidden magic circle.
"Well, is it here?"
Don't stop, just walk in.
As soon as I entered, I found a person waiting there early.
"Long time no see, my lord."
It saluted the man in front of it gracefully, its respectful and humble appearance was enough to make any nobleman feel ashamed.
But the strange thing is that the object of its salute is not the fat-headed Mediterranean, but a heroic man in a white cloak.
"You are here, Barnier." Zhou Fangwu looked at it and said.
That's right.
These two people are Barnier and Zhou Fangwu.
"Yes! I didn't expect [Devil] and [Hero] to meet in the corner of the capital, and there is still a princess living in the castle. This kind of mood really makes my heart a little bit moved."
"If you don't deliberately stir up other people's emotions, I can take you for a stroll around the castle."
"No, then there is no need."
Zhou Fangwu's proposal is very tempting, but the royal family is a royal family after all, and there will definitely be things in the castle that can harm it.
So to be on the safe side, it's better not to rush in.
Moreover, the lord seems to prefer to directly enter the topic.
"Then, I don't know why you called me here, my lord..." Barnir pretended to be puzzled.
This guy obviously can read people's hearts, but he wants to ask on purpose.
As expected of a demon, he has a really bad character.
"About Aldarp." Zhou Fangwu leaned on the city wall and looked at the smiling Barnier, "Many onlookers have seen what you did on Wangdu Central Street, and it really is a big scene. what."
"Yes! But, isn't this done according to your request, Mr. [Hero]?" Banier had a cheerful smile on his face.
Yes.
No one would have imagined that the [hero] would let the [demon] deal with humans.
Even if Aldarp is a corrupt and innocent garbage nobleman, once this matter is exposed, Zhou Fangwu's [hero] aura will shatter on the spot, and he will fall from above the clouds into the abyss.
Hearing what it said, Zhou Fangwu was not angry, but just rolled his eyes.
"Isn't it you who said something like 'Maxwell is my friend, please save his life, please, my lord'? Otherwise, I will absolutely kill him!"
"Uh…"
Barney was speechless for a moment.
It knows that if Zhou Fangwu is serious, its friend Maxwell will never survive!
What about [Twisted Reality], it's useless in front of [Heroes], okay?
Not to mention, Maxwell is still in a state of amnesia.
"Well... yes, thank you Lord Lord for agreeing to our willful request." Banier no longer insisted, but expressed his heartfelt thanks to Zhou Fangwu.
"It's okay, you helped me too." Zhou Fangwu shook his head and said.
Previously, it was he who asked Barnier to do the same for Aldarp's conviction.
He intercepted the two of them halfway, and then charged him in front of many people, so as to carry out another kind of punishment.
Doing this is nothing more than trying to deter some people.
Tell them, Aldarp looks miserable, this is the end of cooperating with the devil!
Everyone, once you cooperate with the devil, the ending will not be good!
Presumably those who may have cooperated with the devil are now trembling with fear.
Even if they can afford the price, they will become more and more greedy in the end.
In the end, they will lose control of themselves, step by step towards the abyss of taboo, and endure the endless torture.
"It's just, won't doing this affect you demons? Whether it's evaluation or survival, if you do this, your existence will be feared by others." Zhou Fangwu asked if he had a plan.
"Well, a little bit."
Barnier didn't care at all, and even said happily: "But this exaggerated fear, the emotions emanating from tens of thousands of people are floating in the town, this kind of emotion is really delicious!"
Today it made a big fuss in the capital, and many people were afraid of it and Maxwell.
One pass a hundred, one pass a thousand.
This sense of fear spread rapidly in the capital, and the fear emanating from it was massive.
This can be regarded as one of the hidden conditions of cooperation.
Although the demons will be affected when they are summoned in the future, they will also produce some fixed emotions, and they are likely to continue to occur in the future.
It doesn't matter who loses and who gains.
It can only be said that this situation is beneficial to Zhou Fangwu.
It's like going to the battlefield, he himself is working hard to destroy the monsters on the front line, but there are people in the rear of the large army who are engaged in such silly things as summoning demons to satisfy their selfish desires.
Fortunately, Aldap did not know that Maxwell was a powerful demon. Fortunately, the contract signed between Maxwell and Aldap was one-way.
Otherwise, even if Aldarp's selfish desires did not bring trauma to the capital, Maxwell would still cause a devastating blow.
What a bunch of **** guys!
Thinking of this, Zhou Fangwu asked again: "Banir, are there still demons lurking in the capital?"
"I don't know." Barnier replied without thinking.
"You... didn't answer on purpose?" Zhou Fangwu raised his eyebrows.
Don't even have to guess, you know it's intentional.
Barnier, who is known as "Clairvoyance", is really not that easy to find the same kind in a royal capital.
Otherwise, it couldn't find Maxwell, and even pulled it out of the magic.
But if it doesn't say it, it shows that it doesn't want to say it.
"How should I put it... This kind of thing is forbidden by the devil."
Banir also rubbed his chin in distress, and said: "According to the ancient contract signed by the demons, after any demon signs a contract with humans, other demons are not allowed to interfere, otherwise they will face punishment. The most serious Under the circumstances, but the soul will fly away!"
"Even you, Barnier, the Duke of Hell, can't do it?"
"no."
"But you took Maxwell away before."
"That's because the contract has been completed." Barnier explained: "Before, Aldarp's request was to take him out of prison, and Maxwell also helped him escape, so we can intervene."
"…yes."
Forget it, judging by his tight-lipped attitude, if you continue to ask, you probably won't be able to find out.
However, after this incident has fermented, the royal family is also vigorously launching investigations, and some corrupt nobles will also be sacked because of this.
Even if no person who has an affair with the devil is found, the royal family will benefit from this trip, and other dubious nobles will wholeheartedly show their loyalty to the royal family.
It's really a lot of money.
"By the way, is Aldarp doing well in hell?"
"Great! I'm in love with Maxwell every day!"
Barnier's hearty look made Zhou Fangwu subconsciously feel a chill.
He also told the onlookers that Maxwell looked so sick before he took Aldarp away.
It's this kind of guy that he can't handle.
It's like [The Envious Witch Shatila], that kind of sticky and disgusting love for no reason, no matter who it is, it will be frightening.
"Really, that's really great. But I still hope that Aldarp can live in **** forever. I hope Barnier can help me convey this meaning to Maxwell, saying that Her Royal Highness Princess has already Agreed with it and Aldarp."
"Oh! That would be wonderful! My dear friend Maxwell will be overjoyed by this!"
The two pretended to cheer for this event.
In the end, they couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed.
This may be a win-win.
"Well, this matter is over, we have to go back to that stupid poor store manager. I have been away for two days, I don't know what unacceptable things she will do again, it is better to go back earlier."
"Oh, say hello to Wiz for me."
"...How about you handle this matter yourself? I think that stupid store manager will be very happy."
"Hey, your sentence is very ambiguous."
"Ahahaha—! Well, who knows! Then, goodbye, my lord!"
"Ah, see you later."
Barnier didn't stay long after that, and left using teleportation magic.
This is the capital of the kingdom, the longer you stay, the easier it is to be exposed. It is better to leave as soon as possible after the agreement is made.
After that, Zhou Fangwu also unlocked the magic, and returned to the castle quietly.
——
Walk in the courtyard of the castle.
A lot of guards formed a patrol team and wandered around, checking all suspects who did not meet the requirements of the action.
There are demons haunting the capital, and the castle is the top priority, so the guards naturally dare not slack off.
Therefore, the patrolling guards are strengthened, and no matter who they encounter, they will step forward to question them, which is also a very tough attitude.
It's just that after seeing Zhou Fangwu, he greeted him respectfully and loudly.
"Your Excellency! You have worked hard!"
"Oh." Zhou Fangwu also greeted.
"However, it's better to say that you have to work harder."
"No, you are!"
The head of the guard also gave a compliment, but then he asked again: "I don't know what you are doing outside at such a late hour, Your Excellency Hero?"
"...to find traces of the devil." Zhou Fangwu said uncomfortably.
"That…!"
"Well, there is a little clue. But unfortunately, when I looked for it, the demon had already escaped."
"pity!"
The head of the guard immediately yelled that it was a pity, and then cursed loudly: "Those guys, what are they thinking! Human beings are facing the invasion of the Demon King's army, and this idiot even summons demons, it is really... hopeless garbage! "
"Wait, leader!"
"Don't say that."
"You're talking too much."
After he said this, the guards behind him all stopped him solemnly, and at the same time turned their attention to Zhou Fangwu.
"Don't worry, I think the same as you."
Zhou Fangwu also looked on the same face, "Those disgusting guys, I have crusaded so many demons, but I didn't expect someone to summon demons. Isn't this way of attracting wolves into the house! They should be hanged on the gallows!"
"That's right, that's right!"
The guards also looked at him in surprise, and they agreed with what Zhou Fangwu said.
People who have been on the battlefield and fought monsters are very angry at those who secretly summoned demons in the capital.
"That's right, after all, Your Excellency the Hero is a strong man who has defeated many cadres of the Demon King's Army! Naturally, he hates the Demon King's Army!"
"That's right, that's right!"
"It must be so!"
[Hero] and [Demon] are opposites, and they don't believe that Zhou Fangwu is related to the Demon King Army.
but…
Sorry, it's really related!
Zhou Fangwu felt a little pain in his heart. He was secretly related to the Demon King's Army when he was so recognized by others. He felt really sorry for his overwhelming sense of trust.
However, when he thought of the cowardly store manager and the shrewd clerk who promised not to harm the public, the guilt in his heart faded a little.
After all, the two of them are no longer the cadres of the Demon King's Army, so they are safe... probably.
"By the way, Your Excellency the Hero! Knight Claire asked us to convey to you. If we see you, please go to the room of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
The head knight said this.
"Well, I see, thank you." Zhou Fangwu nodded.
"Then, let's take our leave."
"Thank you for your hard work."
The head of the guard continued to patrol with his men, and Zhou Fangwu also walked towards the castle.
Although I don't know what Princess Alice is looking for, I should know it if I go to see it.
Go outside the room of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
bang bang—
"Please come in."
Her Royal Highness's voice came from inside the door.
Push open the door and walk in.
It was the same pink and white style as before, but Alice was not seen in the room.
"Alice?"
"Yes, my lord."
Alice poked out a small head from the thick quilt and looked at Zhou Fangwu timidly.
"What are you doing here, Alice?"
Hide yourself under the covers... are you scared?
"Because, I'm afraid."
really.
Princess Alice looked so cute and pitiful, pinching the edge of the quilt with her little hands, a little white.
The demonic invasion has left the castle understaffed.
Originally, the female guard Claire and the magician Rhine would always leave one person to protect Alice, but many things happened today. The two of them went to mobilize the royal knights and the magician security department, so Her Royal Highness is now alone. Stay at the castle.
It's not that he didn't think about finding other people from the team.
But sadly, they all have other things to do.
Darkness and the female guard, Claire, have gone to the Knights, so the name of the Dustiness family can still be used to some extent.
Huihui and Yoyo accompanied the magician Lei Yin to the magician security department, and it was Huihui who forced Yoyo to go with her.
And Akuya was working hard to draw the magic circle, and she was very annoyed that she didn't stop Maxwell before, so in order to prevent the devil from attacking again, she was going to draw a powerful dispelling magic circle.
As for Kazuma Sato...
Don't mention it.
So, now you are the only idler left?
"That... big brother..."
"What's the matter, Alice."
"Brother, can you accompany me, because they all have things to do..."
"I see."
This is a rare request from Her Royal Highness, who has been pretending to be a good child. Even if she didn't tell Zhou Fangwu, she would stay here.
Not only because of her status as Her Royal Highness, but also because she calls her brother and lord, Princess Alice, who is afraid of loneliness, cannot be left here.
"Really!" She seemed very happy, and her small voice became slightly louder.
"Ah, I will stay with you, Alice." Zhou Fangwu patted her little head lightly, as if trying to lull her to sleep.
"...My lord brother."
Princess Alice wanted to hide under the quilt shyly, but she hadn't experienced this kind of gentle sleep at night for a long time.
She couldn't bear this kindness.
"Sleep, sleep." Zhou Fangwu still coaxed her to sleep.
However, Her Royal Highness did not feel sleepy at all.
"My lord...will you leave after I fall asleep?"
Seeing her slightly raised pale pretty face with strong longing in her eyes, Zhou Fangwu's heart suddenly softened.
"No." He replied.
"Then... my lord, let's sleep together tonight! Please, my lord! Claire and Lei Yin are not here, I'm really scared by myself! Please, please?"
"...Huh? But it's not impossible for me to accompany you like this..."
"How can I do that! How can I make my brother work so hard? So... okay?"
Her Royal Highness raised her head slightly, and used the ultimate nirvana of a woman begging for help!
-45° elevation angle kill!
That weak and pitiful appearance, and that man can refuse her request!
It's definitely not because he has other ideas!
Absolutely not!
