Chapter 967: The Devil's Trail (Part II)
"A corrupt soul who is poor and extravagant, who does all kinds of evil, the pain of betrayal, the ......despair from which there is no escape," Duke stopped abruptly and fell into thought.
"Perhaps, I should give him a little more 'hope'?"
Sitting in the gloomy room, Duke bowed his head slightly, and asked himself: "Well, give him a little hope, but not too much, just a little bit." ”
He is a devil, a devil from the thirteen layers of hell, who came to the main material plane at the behest of the king of demons, and came to a certain kingdom in this world.
When he first came here, he already felt the 'sin' and 'corruption' that permeated the air, and it was hard for him to imagine that the nobility of such a country had not had much contact with the lower planes.
"Baron Landry, another man with crimes written all over his body......" Looking at the fat man in the mirror in front of him, Duke shook his head and sighed slightly, and there was a bit of admiration in his words.
This kingdom is so wonderful, why haven't they discovered such a wonderful place before?
With everything set up, Duke temporarily looked away from the mirror and looked at the owner of the house.
With a smile on his lips, Duke reconstructed the things he had messed up with one by one from memory, and then slipped out of the window.
The light of the twilight was not dazzling, and the red steamer fell from the west, walking down the dark and dirty streets, Duke was like a scoundrel, his casual gaze fell on the surroundings, and he couldn't help whistling when he saw a little girl come out to pour water, although it was very likely that the little girl would be scolded by her elders or husband, but he still enjoyed it.
He is not one of the reckless men of the bottomless abyss, 'sinister and cunning' is synonymous with the devil, they have clever minds, and they are much more careful than the demons who are also in the evil camp.
It is precisely because of this caution that he was able to play a holy warrior before, hey, I heard that it is still a legendary holy warrior, but I didn't expect it to be so easy to deceive, and it is completely different from those old fritters.
That kid still has to continue to learn and grow!
With a casual pace, Duke continued to look for the next target, he couldn't stay in one place for too long, and after everything was arranged, he needed to shift his position and find the next 'temporary station'.
He couldn't do anything to the owners of the houses, otherwise he would have been easily discovered, so often after he left, the owners of the houses did not know that an uninvited guest had ever arrived.
After all, he was a devil, unlike the brainless creatures of the Abyss, and he didn't think he could be up to a legendary paladin.
And not to mention the young legendary paladin, now that the priests of this kingdom are tracking his whereabouts, he can be sure that if he reveals his whereabouts, he will soon be approached by pursuers.
I don't know what this world is all about, almost every church has something called a 'faith network', and knowledge about magic will be very common in a small shop on the street, and both the Church of Radiance and the Church of Knowledge have opened up their knowledge...... All in all, this world doesn't seem to be so easy to mess with, just like the god of justice in this world, that's a madman!
How can any god go to the bottomless abyss to hunt evil? And sometimes he will participate in the abyss blood battle, and when he meets him, he will fall into blood mold, as long as he sees that madman in the abyss blood battle, he almost never wants to go back alive.
Another round of abyssal bloody battle is about to begin, fortunately the Devil King sent him to carry out this mission, otherwise, he may also participate in this round of abyssal bloody battle, who knows if he will meet that madman?
Duke found a hidden house, this house is owned by a mother and son, and there is no trace of a third person living in the house.
And the house was so close to the edge of the town that he would be able to escape in time even if something unexpected happened.
Duke used a [Sleep Charm] to put the mother and son to sleep, and then rolled over the window and entered the house.
It was only an orphan and a widow, but there was a mirror in the house, and there were some low-quality looking homemade cosmetics, and it seemed that the mother should have a part-time job in a tavern or inn.
With a smile, Duke sat down in front of the mirror and recited an obscure incantation from his mouth, and the mirror in front of him rippled like water waves, gradually manifesting the figure of the baron.
With a smile on his lips, Duke casually glanced at Baron Landry's surroundings, the smile on his face slowly disappearing.
"What's the matter?" he muttered, frowning, "shouldn't he be on his way to his mistress now?
Today was the day when Baron Landry went to meet his mistress, and if nothing happened, he should have been on his way, but now the scene around him was still in his castle, and his face was restless, and he knew at a glance that something was going to happen.
Unfortunately, he could only see the image through this mirror, not the sound, otherwise he would have known what was going on.
Duke caressed the edge of the mirror with his index finger, and he hesitated to do something, to leave, or to keep waiting.
If nothing else, the fat man on the other side of the mirror would be sitting in the carriage and would have arrived at the manor to find a letter written by him in the premonition of the crime, and then his mistress would be entangled, and then he would take his mistress to the local church for help, and finally be killed by his mistress in the carriage - provided 'no accident', of course!
Now there was an accident, so Duke was thinking about whether he should continue with the plan.
If it wasn't because of something going on in Baron Landry's house, but because he found out about it himself?
After a moment of silence, Duke gathered everything around him and prepared to leave the town.
He couldn't stay here any longer, and if some of the priests happened to track it down and found something on Baron Landry, he would be in big trouble.
Plans can't keep up with changes, the world is unpredictable, and even the king of the devil may not be able to spy on fate, let alone him?
No matter what happens, it is important to protect yourself and hide all traces, otherwise the rest of the plan will continue to be difficult to carry out.
Duke looked through the window for a moment to see the street outside, and waited until he was sure there was nothing outside, before turning over and stepping out.
He felt the fence and walked towards the entrance of the town, even if there really were some clergy or something like that, it was impossible to think that he would leave from the entrance of the town, right?
Although it was almost curfew time in the town, and the wooden gate at the entrance of the town was almost closed, it was not difficult for him to turn it out.
"Who?!"
A loud cry suddenly came from the front, startling Duke, breaking out in a cold sweat and stiffening his body in place.
Not him, not him, not him...... It can't be him! That group of escorts doesn't have that much ability, so it must not be him!
His gaze slowly slid towards the entrance of the town, and he saw a dark shadow at the entrance of the town.
Relieved, Duke licked his lips nervously, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and sure enough, he hadn't found him!
But after a while, he was stunned, for he smelled a smell of blood that filled the air, and at this time, the dark clouds that had obscured the sky finally dispersed, revealing the double moon that had been hidden behind the clouds.
Bathed in the moonlight, he stared blankly at the figure and saw him draw his weapon from his waist, his body glowing with a holy light.
"Hello, Devil!"
A cold and hard voice sounded in Duke's ears, and he didn't even think much about it, he turned around and ran.
"I'm Grush, a paladin!"
