Chapter 634

Joan's self-confidence was seriously frustrated. She thought she could be ashamed, but she didn't expect to be under even more pressure after fighting Alice.

"If you don't want to suffer from skin and flesh, then be honest, as long as you are willing to cooperate with us and tell who instructed you, you will be free. Alice said seriously.

After listening, Joan showed a teasing smile. In fact, she had been prepared for a while, thinking that there was a problem with the assassination mission.

I saw Joan of Arc's scarred body exuding a sacred brilliance, and disappeared in place in just a breath!?

This is a teleporting scroll given by Archbishop Scott to Joan of Arc. It is a very rare and expensive magic item that can escape a lot of dangerous money.

This kind of super rare props, the Holy See of the University of Nova Scotia only equips twelve cardinals in order to prevent them from encountering accidents.

In order to ensure that the assassination was foolproof, Archbishop Scott handed the teleporting scroll to Joan, telling her to teleport away if something went wrong, but it came in handy.

The archbishop's goal is to draw Alice back to the Holy See, but he doesn't want to tear his face or cause conflicts. This is not worth the gain, and the identity of the Holy See must not be revealed.

"...Disappeared?" Alice Xia Ran was taken aback, and she was a little bit weird watching the enemy disappear under her nose.

"Ha, it's no wonder that we are so afraid of death to assassinate us? So there is a way to save our lives?" Beelzebub said with a sneer.

"It should be a magic item of space transfer." Merlin frowned, recalling that he brought Alice to crusade against his bishop a few years ago. This madman had used props to avoid his own slash, which seemed to be called teleport. The super rare item of the scroll is priceless, "Then...the house just now...isn't it someone sent by the Holy See?"

"Oh? I heard you say that five gangs of magic sticks really often use this method." Beelzebub nodded in agreement.

"Should... yes, how could the Holy See do such a thing? I have been in the Holy See, and many people are not ashamed of this kind of assassination. Alice's tone is not too firm to refute, obviously also very bottomless.

"Shout! Why did you excuse the Vatican guys with human faces and beasts? Sure enough, even if you leave the Vatican, your heart will stand there, right?" Bezebu said with a bad tone.

"Who said that?! I just... just think it's impossible!" Alice defended.

"Lucifer, you have to be careful, this woman... is not trustworthy, she is not of my race, her heart must be different, you know? Beelzebub took the opportunity to fan the flames and said.

"...You talk nonsense!" Alice's face flushed with anger, worried that Merlin would misunderstand herself.

Merlin ignored Beelzebub and looked into Alice's eyes, feeling that the topic was very sensitive, so he said casually, "Maybe... it was just my illusion, right?"

"...Belzebu sighed, feeling that Merlin was too blind to believe in Alice, "Women's kind."

Alice lowered her head and stopped talking, her heart confused.

The enemy's Wu...

It is too similar to Joan.

Is it?

As night fell, many bonfires lit up in the city.

That is where the soldiers and knights rest.

Due to the influx of a large number of military forces into the royal city, there is no way to give everyone a room to rest.

Therefore, many corps camped on the streets of the city and did not live in houses.

The commotion caused by Merlin and Beelzebub did not cause much confusion, but it was reported to Marguerite.

At this time, the palace was brightly lit, and Margaret was busy in the study, temporarily acting on behalf of the king's authority, and constantly approving documents in these various places.

Since Midas could attack at any time, Margaret needed to mobilize the military power of the entire empire as much as possible, and was so busy that she hadn't slept well for a long time.But he is a rude man, and he really can’t help Blaze watching the tired Margaret. Although he has been guarding the side for a few days, he can only suggest that the princess should have more body breath.

"His Royal Highness, it's late at night, it's better to take a break, tomorrow I will be busy with these things to the dead corner of the empire." "No, we have to think about everything to guard against Midas, and we can't let him find how prepared. That's fine."

The quill kept writing and drawing, "No matter what method he uses to attack, we all have to respond, feeling that we can't be at this time." Uh, okay Your Highness, but pay more attention to your body."Blaze had no choice but to share the worries for His Highness. It was simply a negligence of his duty as a knight. Love, "Blaze, I heard that Margaret did not care about Blaze's concern today, but asked about what happened today. What caused a commotion?'What's the situation?I am not sure yet."

"Oh! Yes, your Royal Highness, there was indeed a commotion in the royal city today, but Shblaz answered quickly. Everything in the city.

"What's the matter? Tell me... Margaret didn't look up, and the one who wanted to end the king said that the blood spies sneaked in."

"It seems that there are two explanations, one said it was a fight caused by a money gambling dispute, and another Blaz said truthfully. How could a big little thing cause such a big gambling dispute?"Marguerite stopped the quill, raised her head and said, "This kind of fart, it's not impossible to sneak into the spies in the city.""Margaret thinks about it"

"It's possible that Midas didn't just sit and watch the mansion by the way. When he couldn't let anyone in the mansion be like this, he ordered, "Order the guards to increase patrols and leave the city.Scratching his head, I don’t understand why the mansion is being monitored, where Alice lives and "...why is this?" Blaze scratched

There are only two groups of people from Clady.The people here are all foreign aids that we rely on. If they leave, we will be trapped by "now is a very dangerous period. The mansion is all gone. This is the last resort." Margaret did not want to use the Star Destroyer and The others in Mede don't care.

"In fact, you only need to monitor Master Merlin, Master Lin cannot be the same"

"Anyone can leave the city" Only Mei

One~one;)

Chapter 18: Invisible Shackles

"Huh? Why?" Blaz scratched his head in confusion, thinking that there are not many people in the mansion that can help France. Miss Alice and the two thorn knights are very useful. As for Merlin?I'm afraid it can't help much, right?

"Because as long as Lord Merlin is here, any crisis can be solved."

Margaret replied indifferently, she had no doubt about Merlin's ability, after all, she had witnessed the scene of his hand-to-hand combat with the Glutton Demon, and it is still vividly visible.

If it wasn't for Merlin's own very high value, how could Margaret, as the heir to France, favor a mere dark iron adventurer?

"...It's... Blaze looked embarrassed, so he could only force himself to persuade himself in his heart. Maybe it was because His Highness really liked that Merlin, so staying here would make His Highness feel at ease? It's just psychological comfort.

"We have to rely on outsiders' assistance this time to survive this crisis. If we fail, we can...choose to die together without letting the bastard Midas succeed easily." Margaret used the Star Destroyer as an example. As a last resort, even if it is to bet on the entire empire, it will not be cheap for Midas' blood.

"...Mades heard Margaret's stern tone, and immediately felt a lot of pressure, "His Royal Highness, is the situation so bad this time?

"Yeah, Robert and Battiloka of the Three Knights have both died in service. The Balrog who lost their host may dissipate at any time. The twelve legendary magic cannons have fallen into cooling and cannot be used. What do you think we have left? Relying on external help, we can only choose to use the last hole cards and die together." Margaret's expression was optimistic. After Beelzebub attacked, the empire lost most of its combat power and became passive.

"Okay...it's true... Blaze lowered his head and had to admit that the current empire was seriously calculated by Midas.

"So we now need to fight for any power that can be used. The people in the mansion are strong above the holy rank, which is very important to us." Marguerite mentioned the feather pen again and began to work on the green.

Then... Blaz raised his head and suddenly remembered something, "Didn't your Lord Claudius give us a treasure? He said that he could seal any resurrection and regeneration ability, presumably Midas would be afraid too?

"...Margaret suddenly stopped writing, raised her head, her eyes dodged with embarrassment, "The treasure called the Fengshen Stone...has been stolen...

Blaze's expression was sluggish for three seconds, and then he became frightened, "Huh?

"Hush!" Margaret hurriedly put her finger to her lips and motioned to Blaze to silence. "Be quiet, don't yell.

"...Were stolen?! How can this be good? That... But the Lord Claudius lent it to us, how can we explain to him?" Blaz felt that something was not good, no wonder Margaret I've been so nervous recently that the treasure that turned out to be most likely to come back has been stolen.

"Blaze, calm down. It's already happened. It's too late to say anything. As for how to explain to your Excellency Claudius? Margaret thought for a while and whispered, "You can only try to keep him steady, don't let He knew about it.

"But... Your Excellency Clady cherishes this treasure called the Conferred God Stone, I'm afraid it won't last long?" Blaz said hesitantly.

"You can keep it for as long as you can. If you really can't keep it, I will use appropriate reasons to let your Excellency Claudius accept it." Margaret said seriously.

Seeing that Margaret had made up his mind, Blaise was not interested in talking, "Okay, but who stole it? Servant" No, I have carefully questioned all the servants and the guards who guard the palace. , They didn't do it, but after hearing the guards say that there was a face dangling in the palace before, I guess it was a thief who came in during the chaos of the Empire... Marguerite showed annoyed eyes.

"Rogue?!" Blaise said with wide eyes and clenched fists, "Please order your Royal Highness to chase down the thieves in the empire, and you must retrieve the treasure of Lord Claudius!

"I know what to do, but now I should give priority to Midas, right?" Margaret paused, exhorting, remember to lose the Conferred God Stone, don't let Your Excellency Claudius know.'

In the mansion, Alice did not fall asleep, but walked out of the room alone, looking at the dark sky.

The moon is cold, and because the huge celestial body blocks the sun, it is much brighter at night than during the day.

Alice can’t fall asleep. She is still thinking about what happened today. She always feels that there are many weird places. Who is the enemy that appeared in the alley during the day?.

book

Why are the moves so similar to Jeanne?

Is it true that the Holy See instructed Joan to attack Merlin?

Although Alice has left the Holy See a long time ago, her time as a brave is quite comfortable. She has met many good-hearted priests, so Alice is instinctively unwilling to believe that the Holy See will use the nasty means of assassination to achieve her goal. Still have a lot of confusion.

"Why don't you sleep? What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Merlin suddenly appeared and came to Alice.

"It's nothing, just can't sleep and eX" Alice lowered her head and said.

"Why can't you fall asleep? Even the guy in Beelzebub who lost his sister can eat and sleep well every day. Are you more upset than him? Merlin looked at Alice suspiciously.

"...Somewhat can't figure out what happened today... Alice said hesitantly, "Is the Holy See really trying to assassinate you?

"Oh~, this matter." Merlin smiled, seeming not to care at all. This time the assassin is just a little shrimp. If you want to kill yourself, the Holy See will at least send an opponent like the legendary ten heroes. , I can barely make a few gestures with myself, "I don't know, but there are many people who want to kill me, and the Holy See is just one of them.

"It... Alice wanted to say that she suspected that the enemy might be Joan of Arc, but she swallowed it to her lips. She thought of the special identities of the two hostiles. She couldn't insist that the Holy See did it. She was always straightforward. , But chose to conceal something at this time.

"Actually what?" Merlin asked in surprise.

"...One count...

Alice dodged her eyes, lowered her head and said vaguely, "Fruit... I mean if the Holy See is going to assassinate you, why did they do it? In their eyes, you are just an ordinary little adventurer...

Merlin touched his chin, thought carefully, and said, "Did the bishop of O'Brien Cathedral not come to invite you back to the Holy See? You didn't agree, maybe they think you didn't go back because of me, so just kill me. You are no longer bound. Returning to the Holy See is an inevitable choice. Of course... these are my guesses and do not explain the problem. After all... I seem to have a lot of enemies, and there are many elders in the demons who look at me unpleasant. In their eyes, my inferior product without any characteristics of the demons is not worthy to be the leader of the demons.

After listening to Alice, she suddenly felt a little bit of enlightenment. Combined with all the doubts, the Holy See might indeed do this.

At this moment, Alice couldn't help falling into silence, feeling a little uncomfortable, as if someone had tied her neck with an invisible chain.

Not only was Merlin unable to completely sever the relationship with the demons, even Alice herself seemed to be unable to escape the influence of the Holy See.

Although it seems that I can be together with peace, every day can be noisy, but in the bone Alice and Merlin are still in opposition to each other. Is my wish to be with Merlin an unrealistic fantasy?We are destined not to come together: "Lin...

"what?"

"If there are no major twists and turns in the future, and we can't pay off our debts, would you be with me forever?"
