Chapter 42: Baron Naheim's Despair

"It can't be!"

Baron Naheim exclaimed in frustration, even if there were still many outsiders here, but at this time he couldn't care about his image.

His face was distorted by anger, and his eyes bloomed with a look like he was about to devour people, and he denied it with all his might: "There can't be any 'sulfur smell' in my forest! That demon came to the main material plane half a month ago, and there can't be any sulfur smell here!"

The maid did not even look at Baron Naheim, but walked up to a tree and looked it up and down, as if this ordinary tree was more attractive than the young and handsome Baron Naheim.

She admonished in a cold tone, "Sir Eward, please be quiet, you look ugly now. Remember, you are a noble Arcane nobleman, not one of those up-and-coming nobles who has nothing but arrogance. ”

Seeing people talking about people and talking nonsense, the admonition of the head maid made Baron Naheim quiet, except that his face was gloomy as if he could drip water, there was nothing wrong with the current Baron Naheim.

"And I'm not talking about you shielding the demon cultists or the demons themselves, it's just ......" the maid smiled suddenly, pointing to the root of the tree in front of her, "dig up the ground and be carefulβ€”it's just that the seductive demon has been roaming here for half a month, but it's not here now." ”

The soldiers under the command of Baron Naheim subconsciously looked at their lord, and although Baron Naheim was dissatisfied with the tone of the head maid of the Grief, he finally nodded.

The soldier stepped forward, drew his well-maintained sword, and began to dig.

The head maid, who had made way for the soldiers, said in a didactic tone, "Although most demons are inherently evil and belligerent, evil does not mean that they are all stupid. The appearance of the decoeur is deceptive, and although they look alike, they are not brainless beasts. They are adept at deception and deception, they are able to conceal their true colors with their illusionary abilities, and then use rhetoric to lure and magic to fulfill the wishes of the Greedy, but in the end, the Greedy will suddenly find themselves with nothing, that all they once had will be gone from them, and they will have no choice but to linger and choose more extreme methods to end their suffering. ”

The bland words made everyone shudder, and the movements of the soldiers who were digging the land stopped a little, and they looked at each other, and finally could only continue their work with bitter smiles.

"Got it!" a soldier suddenly shouted, and after seeing that everyone was looking, he shrank his head again and whispered, "I want to dig something......

"Dig it out!" Serena ordered.

This time, the soldiers continued to dig without waiting for Baron Naheim's consent, and Baron Naheim twitched the corners of his eyes and turned his head away with a light snort.

The soldiers took their things out and came up from the pit, not deep, about five feet.

A soldier was holding a 'cloth bag', but he was in a state of embarrassment, not knowing who to give it to.

"Bring it!" said Serena.

And Baron Naheim also snorted lightly, and said casually: "Take it!"

The soldier swallowed and walked over to the maid with the sack made of linen.

The maid stretched out three fingers, grabbed the mouth of the dark red cloth bag, weighed it, pouted, threw the dirty cloth bag into the soldier's hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, and threw the handkerchief into the soldier's hand, and commanded: "Take it all and burn it, it contains a heart." ”

Originally, Edith was still very curious to come over and take a look, but after hearing Serena's words, her face changed drastically, and she shrank behind Serena.

"Ahh

Frightened, the soldier holding the cloth bag subconsciously threw the bag to the ground.

The bag fell to the ground, and the ground was stained red with a 'pop'.

The rancid smell filled everyone's nostrils at this moment, and Edith retched a few times, but couldn't spit it out.

Everyone's faces changed, and they covered their noses, but the maid only frowned slightly, and said: "Take this thing and burn it, this is one of the sacrifices that the enchanted demon used to connect the main material plane and the bottomless abyss, and it alone has no way to invade the main material plane, so usually at this time, they will try to summon more companions." Now I can basically confirm that the seduction demon is not the 'master' of those demon believers, but it actively responds to the call of those demon believers. ”

"How do you know?" Baron Naheim scoffed, "Guess?"

He waved his hand and asked the soldier to take the thing and burn it, the soldier had a bitter face, he knew that he would not take credit just now, and even if he couldn't see it, he knew that his colleagues must be laughing at him.

"I've dealt with them and it's clear to me. Serena glanced at Baron Naheim, "Because the old duke is here, and it has been cleaned up several times, there are not so many things. In the Morr Merchant Federation, in the Eagle Principality, and even in the interior of the Kolo Kingdom, there would not be a legendary powerhouse who would have the leisure and time to deal with those demon believers. ”

Baron Naheim was silent, while Edith looked at her sister Serena with adoring eyes.

The maid sighed inwardly, and once again realized why it was the old duke and the knights who held up the whole Sorrowful Wind Collar.

Because the old duke solved everything, these mage nobles didn't understand anything, and they were so unbearable when facing demons.

I didn't expect to be able to see overprotection in this world, although the old duke is also a good heart, but unfortunately many people regard his kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, and sometimes the maid admires the old duke very much, but she will also feel worthless for his efforts and kindness.

Maybe for the old duke, he just fulfilled the responsibility of a lord!

"It's not a human heart, it's supposed to be the heart of some kind of monster. The maid said sharply, "Unless it is an awakened dragon vein warlock, the human heart is generally not used as a medium to summon demons!"

After a pause, the maid shook her head after a moment's thought, and said, "There is no need to see the ceremony, Sir Naheim, I suggest you go to the priests of the gods of death and radiance to come and take a look here, I am only a half-ass, they are more professional than me." ”

Baron Naheim's face turned ugly in an instant, as he heard the head maid continue: "That seduction demon did not come to the main material plane only half a month ago, if nothing else, that seduction demon has already performed more than one blood sacrifice in the Sorrowful Wind Realm. Bandits, lone adventurers, wandering merchants, and vagabonds, who cares about their lives? Even if they go missing, no one will try to find them, right?"

After saying that, the maid bowed her head to Baron Naheim and apologized, "So I'm sorry, Baron Naheim, I have to make this matter public, no matter what your choice is, I will respect your choice, but this is no longer your business, because the seduction demon has long since left your territory." The safety of the Storm Leader and the kingdom is at stake, and I can't keep it a secret for you. Goodbye, then, Baron Naheim. ”

Baron Naheim turned his head and stared in amazement at the back of the head maid leading the team away.

It wasn't until the two ladies got into the carriage and closed the door that Baron Naheim clung his head in pain and slowly crouched down.

Regret filled his heart, overflowing and turning into tears in the corners of his eyes, tears sliding down his handsome cheeks.

It's over, it's all over!

'Incompetence' will accompany him throughout his life, and even in his family history, he will not be evaluated by a young man.

His life is completely over!

Baron Naheim fell to his knees feebly and let out a heart-rending wail.

Now he doesn't need such a thing as an image at all.
