"Temple... Your Highness? ”

Seeing that Alice suddenly agreed to accept the artifact offered by Aldup, both Kureaa and Rein were extremely surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the two close ministers opened their mouths slightly, and in the end, they both gave up on stopping them.

Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Fang Li's eyes flickered.

This is not normal.

It should be said that it is very abnormal.

Whether it was Alice, who suddenly agreed to accept the suspicious artifact, or Kurea, and Rein, who didn't say anything to stop them, they all behaved abnormally.

Moreover, even Kazuma, Megumi, and Daknis just watched this scene quietly, saying nothing, with an incredible expression on their faces, as if they were even confused.

Only Akuya, who didn't know which tendon had the wrong thread, wrinkled her little nose and sniffed around like a puppy that smelled some kind of meat.

In this way, with a triumphant expression, Ardup did not hide the evil and filthy smile, and handed the artifact in his hand in front of Alice.

"Then trouble Your Highness Alice."

Hearing this, Alice's expression also looked a little troubled, but she still nodded and stretched out her hand in the direction of the artifact.

If this situation continues, then this artifact of unknown origin will really be transferred to His Royal Highness the Prince.

In the case of a complete lack of understanding of its effectiveness, nor of its power, nor even the conditions and consequences of its use.

Fang Li is sure that this is definitely not a good thing.

Not because of anything else, but because of Ardapu's unpleasant evil smile.

"Smack..."

The next second, an extremely slight voice rang out.

Everyone present was stunned.

"You..." The smile on Aldup's face also froze, and he said to Fang Li in shock: "What are you doing?" ”

After taking a closer look, Fang Li suddenly stretched out his hand and held the hand that Aldapu was going to hand over the artifact tightly.

"I'm sorry, Lord Aldup." With a calm smile, Fang Li said to Aldapu like this: "I am a little interested in this artifact, can you let me appreciate it a little before handing it over to Her Royal Highness the Princess?" ”

The calm smile and calm tone made Aldup, who had been smug until just now, a little panicked.

Obviously, this development is not in Aldup's imagination.

"You... What do you admire? In a panic, Aldapu glared at Fang Li angrily, and said scoldingly: "This is an artifact dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince, even if you are the marriage contract of Her Royal Highness the Princess, you are only an adventurer at present, if you damage the artifact of Her Royal Highness the Prince, can you afford this responsibility?" ”

"Broken?" Fang Li suddenly said with some sarcasm: "If the artifact that Your Excellency intends to dedicate to His Royal Highness the Prince is something that can be broken so easily, then what is your intention in handing over such an unusable thing to His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”

"No... No...! I... I was just...! Aldup was also speechless all of a sudden, but then he seemed to let go, and shouted at Fang Li very roughly: "That kind of thing is not something you can manage!" Let go of your hand for me! Remember! Let me go! ”

Those rough words did not have the character of a nobleman at all.

However, Aldap didn't just roar casually.

At this moment, in Fang Li's eyes, the icy blue luster flashed again.

Being able to discover the nature of the dead line of invisible things made Fang Li's Straight Death Demon Eye clearly observe.

Around, a faint force began to permeate again.

This power, like an electric wave, faintly shrouded the bodies of everyone present.

Of course, Fang Li was also shrouded in it.

Knowing this, Fang Li understands.

The abnormality of the crowd must be related to this obscure force.

And the reason why he was not affected was probably because of the protection of the Holy Sword Scabbard and the Explorer's Wish, one was completely immune to the ailment, and the other was able to reduce the effect of the aberment by half, allowing Fang Li to avoid it.

Of course, Fang Li didn't know.

In addition to himself, there was another person present who was unaffected.

"I feel it!"

Akuya, who had been sniffing around since the beginning, screamed.

"There's an evil force at work around you!"

This goddess, who usually only causes trouble, finally showed her qualities as the best high priest at this time.

"The power of evil?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Aldup's expression turned pale with a "swoop".

Fang Li, who had been watching Aldapu, suddenly smiled and spoke directly to Akuya.

"Akuya, can you dispel this power?"

If he can't, then Fang Li can only use the Eye of Death and kill him.

However, hearing Fang Li's words, Akuya puffed up her chest.

"Who do you think I am? This level of evil power will purify it at once! ”

As the words fell, Akua's whole body fluctuated with the light of magical power.

"Divine Spell (Sacred_Spellbreak)!"

The light of magic turned into a purifying light, like a flash of light, and instantly bounced in all directions.

"Bang---!"

With a dull sound like something being blown up, the mysterious power that permeated the surroundings was instantly dispelled by Akua's magic.

“――――！”

It was only at this time that Alice and her party woke up as if from a dream, and they all shook up.

Then, everyone realized how abnormal their behavior was.

"You...!"

The eyes of the people who looked at Ardap became sinister.

Alice, in particular, looked at Aldap with a look of seriousness that she usually didn't add much.

"Aldap." Alice looked at Altap and said, "Can you please explain what happened just now?" ”

Under Alice's serious eyes and the sinister gaze of everyone around her, Altap couldn't help but let go of the artifact in his hand and kept retreating.

"I... I don't know what you're talking about! ”

Aldup was completely panicked, and a large amount of sweat flowed from his face full of fat.

"Total... Anyway, what I'm going to do is done, farewell! ”

Leaving such words, Aldapu actually forgot even the most basic etiquette, and without asking Alice's consent at all, he ran out of here in a panic.

"Wait!"

"Please stop!"

Kureaya and Rein immediately planned to catch up.

However, Fang Li stopped the two.

"Don't chase it, even if you catch up, this matter will be over."

Saying this, Fang Li weighed the box carrying the artifact in his hand and looked in the direction of Ardapu's hurried escape.

The eyes became intriguing.

"It's kind of interesting..."
