194 Emma and the Knights
The lightning chain is the most powerful magic that Liang Lidong can use now.
The lightning chain passed, and he listened to the screams of the three demons gradually weaken, and then barely made a sound before he walked slowly.
As soon as he turned the corner, he saw three almost charred Shadow Demons lying on the ground, the air filled with a scorching smell mixed with a sulfurous smell of putrid acid.
The smell of sulfur is common to most demonic creatures, after all, there are volcanoes almost everywhere in that place, and the demonic creatures have more or less sulfur in their bodies, with the exception of succubi.
This female-only creature has no odor at all, only a special fragrance that can charm most creatures.
Liang Lidong covered his nose and laughed twice, then he walked up to the biggest shadow demon and kicked it hard.
The shadow demon screamed in pain and woke up, but because of the severe injury, it seemed that only one claw could move. It saw an enemy in front of it and was about to wave its claws to attack the enemy, but Liang Lidong kicked over and pressed its claws heavily on the ground.
"Shadow Fiend?" Liang Lidong threw a scroll on the ground, and at the same time smiled, looking like the sinister villain in the movie: "Can you tell me that you are the minions of His Majesty in the Demon Realm, or tell me again, do you have any other strongholds in the human world, and what is the purpose of your deliberate guidance of Emma." ”
The Shadow Fiend's eyes were full of hatred, "Hehe, do you think we'll say it?" Despicable human beings. ”
Liang Lidong smiled: "The demon actually said that human beings are despicable, tsk, you shadow demons have always loved sneak attacks, I just used the same methods as you to deal with you, and actually said that we were despicable." ”
Shadow Demon snorted, not knowing if it was because of disdain. Or because of the pain of the body from a serious injury.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say it, I have many ways to interrogate demons." A speck of light flashed on Liang Lidong's head and fingers: "For example, the magic of light enters the brain, what do you think of this method?" ”
There was a look of horror in the Shadow Demon's eyes, and then a blue light appeared in his eyes, but the magic scroll that Liang Lidong had dropped earlier immediately took effect. Directly shakes the nearby mana element.
Self-detonation can't be...... But the Shadow Fiend had another way, only to see its head tilt, and then it was silent.
Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, then probed with his mental power, and after confirming that the other party was really dead, he said to himself in surprise: "Dead? When did the demons become so tough, first they blew themselves up, and now they committed suicide with their mental power, and the demons are now learning from the holy warriors? ”
This has to be said to be a strange thing. It is very different from the demonic character in Liang Lidong's cognition. Yes, demons do have all kinds of feelings, but it would be strange to commit suicide so simply, and even to use the word 'heroic righteousness'.
If the demons of the Demon Realm, as long as ten percent of them possess this attribute, then the human world will one day be attacked by them.
After all, the demons are both in strength and in numbers. are much stronger than humans. If the demon world is really twisted into a rope, let alone the human world. The celestial realm will be dangerous.
Liang Lidong then felt that he seemed to be too careful, if the demon world was really so united, it would have attacked the human world a long time ago, why wait until now.
He then left the cellar and returned to the castle and knocked on Emma's door.
"Who?" Emma's voice rang out after half a while. With a faint sound of just waking up, it sounds cute.
"Me, Beta."
Yes! There was a sound of surprise and some shame in the room, followed by the faint sound of objects flipping, and after a while. Emma, dressed in a pink pajama and a white velvet coat, opened the door, revealing only her head and half of her body.
Her pajamas are very close-fitting, perfectly showing the girl's lovely hips and waist curves, the absolute golden ratio, but half of the chest looks loose, which is very regrettable.
"Is there anything you can do?"
Emma's little face had a faint flush, and she looked at Liang Lidong with watery eyes: "You...... What's the matter? ”
It's no wonder that she has such an expression, it's late at night, and a man knocks on a girl's door, no matter how you look at it, with a little ambiguous atmosphere.
She was also nervous at this time, hesitating, if ...... In case of...... Beta wants to come into the room and sit down, she is allowed to do it, but she is not allowed to bring it.
As soon as she thought about it, she felt her identity heat up again.
But at this time, Liang Lidong said: "Just now I found a cellar in the corner of the castle, and I found three demons in it. ”
These words were like a basin of cold water pouring down from the sky, and Emma was poured cold on her heart. One demon in the castle was scary enough, and now Beta has found three more.
"Where did you find it?" Emma hurriedly opened the door: "Come in and tell me, you can't let the demons operate in my territory." ”
Liang Lidong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, those three demons have been killed by me, I just told you about it, after all, this is your territory." There's no need to look at them now, their corpses shouldn't be able to escape. ”
"No, it's a big deal." Emma said very seriously, "Can you wait outside for a while, I'll change my clothes and come out." ”
"Okay, I'll stop by Kyle and Alice and wait for you at the back door of the castle."
Emma answered, then closed the door. Liang Lidong goes to inform Kyle and Alice. About ten minutes later, the four of them gathered at the back door, and together they walked to the cellar of the grove.
The Shadow Fiend's corpse was still in the cellar, but the smell of Ryuki was stronger. This is a phenomenon unique to demonic creatures after death, the sulfur in their bodies will volatilize faster, so the smell will become heavier and stronger, and it will also speed up the decay of corpses, so after the death of demonic creatures, the smell will be terrible.
Alice covered her nose: "This is the first time I've seen a creature from the Demon Realm, it's disgusting." ”
Kyle walked around the bodies of the three Shadow Fiends with great interest, and he was very interested in seeing real demonic creatures for the first time.
Emma didn't have a good mood with them, and now there were demons in her territory one after another, which showed that the territory had been infiltrated by demonic creatures.
She took a breath and said, "Let's go out and have the three bodies cleaned up and burned at the stake in the center of the city." ”
The so-called burning at the stake is a special ritual used to purify evil creatures. At the same time, it is also a deterrent.
After saying this, Emma left the cellar first, and she went back to her study, and asked Joseph, the butler, to go and invite Caesar over.
It was already early in the morning, and Caesar was in the garrison, discussing with a group of friends how to overpower people, when he suddenly heard the princess's summons, he was overjoyed, and after spending a little time dressing up, he rode a white horse and came to the castle with grace.
He had a strange emotion in his heart, thinking that the princess was going to impress him, or that he was favored.
But soon Caesar knew that he would be wrong, because he saw that the princess had a rather bad face.
"Caesar, you know about yesterday's demon self-explosion."
Caesar nodded, the princess killed a demon as soon as she came back, and now almost everyone in the city knew about it, but he didn't understand what the princess meant by asking.
Emma tapped the table and said, "Just now, Beta, he found three more demons in the castle, all of them are shadow demons, and these three demons have been killed by him. ”
Caesar frowned.
"I know it's hard to spot things like shadow fiends." Emma looked at Caesar, "But I guess the Knights have to find some signs anyway." Fortunately, these demons were only watching the castle, and if they had done something to the common people, it would have caused great casualties. ”
Caesar pondered for a moment, then said, "Our knights have been stationed in the suburbs, probably because of this, so we didn't notice what was going on in the castle. After all, without your summons, our knights would not have entered the castle without permission. ”
"I can understand that." Emma nodded, and she said solemnly, "But how did the Shadow Fiend get in, I think the Knights should take this responsibility...... From now on, you're going to cut your shifts in half and you're all patrolling me outside the city, understand? ”
Caesar stepped forward and suggested, "That's not good, princess, many people in the Knights are after big families. I think we should recruit some mercenaries as peripherals to strengthen our garrison. ”
"If I need to recruit outsiders, then what else do I need the Knights for!" Emma smiled slightly, with a slight coldness on her face: "If you don't want to do it, I can give each of you three years, and you can go home after receiving it, and I will never pursue it." ”
Caesar's face changed, and then he hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness Princess, I understand, I will go back and arrange for them to patrol outside the city." ”
Emma nodded, and when Caesar withdrew, she let out a soft sigh.
As the daughter of the royal family and the holy daughter of the Storm Temple, although she is not very old, she is not bad in terms of political smell. The intention of these knights, she already knew it clearly, in fact, she had already intended to disband the knights, but she couldn't find an opportunity, and now there is a reason for her to make her flutter, she naturally will not miss any opportunity.
In the past, she didn't care about the Knights' survival, but now that Beta had entered her heart, she felt the need to make a clear relationship with the Knights.
After all, if the princess and the knights get too close, it will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary peachy conjectures. She thought it might upset Beta.
Now she was very depressed, she was very happy that Beta could come to her territory as a guest, but she didn't expect to meet a demon. And both times it was discovered by Beta, which made her, as the owner, feel very embarrassed.
In fact, this is not a big deal at all, but the girl who is just starting to fall in love is extremely sensitive, and a little thing can be entangled for a long time. (To be continued.) )
