Noble Emblem

Chain Lightning is the most powerful magic that Liang Lidong can use now.

After this chain of lightning passed, he listened to the screams of the three demons gradually weakening, and then there was almost no sound, and then he walked slowly over.

As soon as he turned the corner, he saw three shadow demons that were almost charred lying on the ground. The air was filled with a burnt smell, mixed with a smell of sulfuric acid.

The smell of sulfur is common to most creatures in the demon world. After all, there are volcanoes almost everywhere in the place. There is more or less sulfur in the bodies of demon creatures. The only exception is the succubus.

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 largest shadow demon and kicked him hard.

The shadow demon screamed in pain and woke up, but because it was so seriously injured, it seemed that only one of its claws could move. It saw an enemy in front of it and was about to attack the enemy with its claws, but Liang Lidong stepped over and pressed its claws heavily to the ground.

"Shadow Demon?" Liang Lidong threw a scroll on the ground and smiled, looking like the sinister villain in the movie: "Can you tell me that you are His Majesty's minions in the demon world, or tell me again, Do you have other strongholds in the human world, and what is your purpose of deliberately guiding Emma."

Shadow Demon's eyes were full of hatred: "Hey, do you think we will say that? Despicable humans."

Liang Lidong smiled: "The devil actually said that human beings are despicable. Tsk, you shadow demons always love sneak attacks. I just used the same method as you to deal with you, but you actually said that we are despicable."

Shadow Demon snorted, not knowing it was because of disdain. Or it was caused by the physical pain of a serious injury.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. I have many ways to interrogate demons." Liang Lidong's head and fingers flashed with a speck of light: "For example, if light magic enters the brain, what do you think of this method?"

Shadow Demon's eyes showed a look of fear, and then a green light appeared in his eyes, but the magic scroll that Liang Lidong dropped earlier took effect immediately. Directly shakes away the nearby magic elements.

Self-destruction failed...but the shadow demon had other methods. It tilted its head and then became silent.

Liang Lidong was stunned for a moment, then used his mental power to investigate. After confirming that the other party was really dead, he said to himself in surprise: "Dead? When have demons become so stubborn? First they self-destructed, and now they commit mental suicide. The demons are now Are you learning from the paladins?"

This has to be said to be a strange thing. It is very different from the demonic character in Liang Lidong's perception. Yes, demons do have a variety of emotions, but to commit suicide so simply that it can even be described as "heroic sacrifice" would be weird.

If only ten percent of the demons in the demon world possess this attribute, then the human world will one day be conquered by them.

After all, the devil is both in terms of strength and quantity. They are much stronger than humans. If the demon world is really twisted into a rope, let alone the human world. The world will be very dangerous.

Liang Lidong then felt that he seemed to be too preoccupied. If the demon world was really so united, it would have attacked the human world long ago, so why wait until now.

He then left the cellar, returned to the castle, and knocked on Emma's door.

"Who?" Emma's voice sounded after a while. It sounds cute with a little fuzzy sound of just waking up.

"I am Beta."

ah! There was a surprised and somewhat shy sound in the room, followed by the faint sound of objects turning. After a while. Emma, ​​wearing a pink dress, pajamas and a white velvet coat, opened the door, revealing only her head and half of her body.

Her pajamas were very close-fitting, perfectly showing off the girl's cute hips and waist curves, the absolute golden ratio, but half of her chest looked baggy, which was a pity.

"Is there anything you need?"

There was a faint blush on Emma's little face, and she looked at Liang Lidong with watery eyes: "You...what's the matter?"

It's no wonder she has such an expression. It's late at night, and a man knocks on the door of a girl. No matter how you look at it, there is a bit of ambiguity.

She was also feeling uneasy at this time, hesitating, if...what if...Beta wanted to come into the room to sit, would she allow it, or not?

When she thought about this problem, she felt her identity became hotter.

But at this time, Liang Lidong said: "I just 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 falling from the sky, pouring down Emma's throat. One demon emerging from the castle was scary enough, but now Beta found three more.

"Where did you find it?" Emma hurriedly opened the door: "Come in and tell me, you can't let the devil move in my territory."

Liang Lidong waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, those three demons have been killed by me. I'm just telling you this. After all, this is your territory. There is no need for you to go and see them now. Their corpses should not be able to escape." .”

"No, this is a big deal." Emma said seriously: "Can you wait outside for a moment, I will change my clothes and come out."

"Okay, I'll stop by and tell Kyle and Alice that they'll be waiting for you at the back door of the castle."

Emma responded and closed the door. Liang Lidong went to inform Kyle and Alice. About ten minutes later, the four of them gathered at the back door and walked together to the cellar in the grove.

Shadow Demon's body was still lying in the cellar, but the smell of sulfur was stronger again. This is a unique phenomenon after the death of demon creatures. The sulfur in their bodies evaporates faster, so the smell will become heavier and heavier, and the decay rate of the corpse will also be accelerated. Therefore, after the death of demon creatures, the smell will be very unpleasant.

Alice covered her nose: "This is the first time I've seen a creature from the demon world. It's really disgusting."

Kyle walked around the three shadow demon bodies with great interest. It was also the first time for him to see a real demon creature, so he was very interested.

Emma is not in their good mood. Now demons appear one after another in her territory, which means that the territory has been infiltrated by demonic creatures.

She took a breath, and then said: "Let's go out, let people clean up these three corpses, and lead them to the city center for burning."

The so-called burning by fire is a special ritual used to purify evil creatures. It is also a deterrent.

After saying this, Emma left the cellar first. She returned to her study and asked the housekeeper Joseph to invite Caesar over.

It was already early in the morning, and Caesar was in the station, discussing with a group of friends how to use force to overwhelm others. When he suddenly heard the princess summoning him, he was extremely happy. After spending some time dressing up, he rode a white horse and came in an elegant manner. to the castle.

He had a strange emotion in his heart, thinking that the princess wanted to look at him with admiration, or that she was interested in him.

But Caesar soon knew that he was wrong, because he saw that the princess looked very unhappy.

"Caesar, you know about the demon's self-destruction yesterday."

Caesar nodded. Now almost everyone in the city knew that the princess killed a demon as soon as she came back. But he didn't understand what the princess meant when she asked.

Emma patted the table and said: "Just now, Beta found three more demons in the castle, all of them shadow demons. These three demons have been killed by him."

Caesar frowned.

"I know that things like Shadow Demon are difficult to detect." Emma looked at Caesar: "But I think the Knights must find some signs anyway. Fortunately, these demons are only monitoring the castle. If they attack ordinary people, , which must have caused great casualties.”

Caesar thought for a moment, and then said: "Our knights have been stationed in the suburbs. Maybe because of this, we didn't notice what happened in the castle. After all, without your call, no one from our knights would enter without permission." To the castle.”

"I can understand this." Emma nodded, and she said seriously: "But how did the Shadow Demon come in? I think the Knights should take this responsibility... From now on, your rest time will be reduced by half. Patrol the outside of the city for me, do you understand?"

Caesar took a step forward and suggested: "This is not good, princess. Many people in the Knights are descendants of big families. I think we should recruit some mercenaries as peripheral personnel. This can strengthen our defense force."

"If I need to recruit outsiders, then why do I need the Knights?" Emma smiled slightly, with a bit of coldness on her face: "If you are unwilling to do it, I can give each of you a three-year salary, and you can just take it. Go home, I will never pursue it."

Caesar's expression changed, and then he said hurriedly: "Your Highness, I understand. I will go back and arrange for them to patrol outside the city."

Emma nodded, and after Caesar exited, she breathed a sigh of relief.

As the daughter of the royal family and the saint of the Temple of Storms, although she is young, her political sense is not bad. She had known the purpose of these knights for a long time. In fact, she had long wanted to disband the knights, but she had never been able to find an opportunity. Now that she had a reason to get excited, she would naturally not miss any opportunity.

In the past, she didn't care at all about the survival of the Knights, but now that Beta has entered her heart, she feels the need to draw a clear line with the Knights. If it doesn't work, she has to stay away.

After all, if the princess and the knights get too close, it will definitely cause people to have a lot of unnecessary romantic suspicions. She thought this might upset Beta.

Now she was in a very depressed mood. Originally, she was very happy that Beta could come to her territory as a guest, but she didn't expect that she would encounter a demon. And it was Beta who discovered it both times, which made her, as the owner, feel very embarrassed.

In fact, this is nothing at all, but a girl who has just begun to fall in love is extremely sensitive, and she can struggle with the smallest things for a long time. (To be continued.)
