"Did you get anything out of Peter?" Roland asked.
The Holy Lady of Light placed a piece of white paper full of words in front of Roland.
Although Roland still didn't know the language of Fareins, it wasn't a problem at all with Language Proficiency.
The Holy Lady of Light was slightly surprised to see Roland use Language Proficiency, but then she felt it was normal.
Roland wasn't from Fareins, and she knew that.
But generally speaking, as long as one was a Mage, they would learn the language of Fareins.
Because when it came to studying magic, Fareins was the strongest.
Just like a few decades ago, if you wanted to do scientific research in China, you would never be able to come into contact with the latest cutting-edge scientific theories without learning English.
But with Language Proficiency, it didn't matter even if you didn't know the language of Fareins.
Roland finished reading the contents, then looked into the Holy Lady's eyes and asked, "Half of Peter's soul has been contaminated, and he doesn't even know it himself?"
"Indeed." The Holy Lady sighed. "This is a troublesome matter. The Peter family is a large family with tens of thousands of soldiers, and although the others are all dead, Peter is still alive, so the family at least still has cohesion. If Peter dies, once those distant relatives start fighting for power, and other nobles follow, the capital may become quite troublesome. "
"Peter's family alone can mess up the capital?" Roland found it a little unbelievable.
"In terms of individual strength alone, of course they can't, but they can't stop the demons from dancing." The Holy Lady knew that Roland wasn't very clear about the division of power in the capital, so she continued, "If the interests of Fareins are compared to a cake, then now the entire cake has been divided up, and everyone dominates their own bit, and there hasn't been any change in power for a century or two. Now if the Peter family's cake is suddenly empty, can you imagine what will happen to those wolves who have been hungry for more than a hundred years? "
With that, Roland understood.
"So, what do you want me to do?" Roland asked.
"Protect Peter. As long as he's far enough away, the demons can't modify his soul, "the Holy Lady said. "And I heard that you Golden Sons have a city of your own that external forces can't penetrate at all. Just take him there and make sure nothing happens to him for three or four years."
"It's not a problem to take him to Wetland City, but I can't guarantee his safety there."
The Holy Lady was slightly confused. "But Schuck told me that you are good friends, and the mayor of Wetland City is his cousin."
"That's true, but as a magician, I'm not good at protecting people. Also … if I have to protect people, I won't have much time to study magic. "
"Regarding this matter, the Church of Light will compensate you. There are many spell models in our great library."
Roland waved his hand again. "Sorry, I'm not short of spell models right now."
The Saintess frowned.
He even felt a little discouraged.
This was also the reason why she did not like to communicate with mages. These people were very rational. If they were not especially short of money, it was almost impossible to move them with benefits.
Seeing that the Holy Lady was biting her lower lip in a daze, Roland suggested, "Actually, instead of sending Peter away, I think it's better to just find that demon, isn't it?"
"This is indeed a good idea, but the problem is that we can't find the demon."
Roland was slightly surprised. "Are the demons hiding in the dark so powerful?"
The Holy Maiden was rather embarrassed.
This was a dereliction of duty on the part of the Church of Light.
"Why don't you hand Peter over to the royal family!" Roland thought for a moment and said, "The royal family's combat power is also very strong. Besides, Peter is a noble, and it makes sense for him to be sheltered by the royal family."
"We are now afraid that the royal family will steal what they are guarding." The Holy Lady sighed.
"That is indeed a possibility." Roland agreed with the Holy Lady.
"Even if you are unwilling, then forget it." The Holy Lady stood up. "We are going to find a good demon next, and we will protect Peter for now. Also, please, Mr. Roland, tell the First Princess that Peter is here in our Holy Realm, and if she wants him, please feel free to come to us to extract him. "
Roland nodded.
He left the Holy Lady's secret little building and returned to the First Princess' manor.
The place was already heavily guarded, with elite imperial guards and even more protection from the royal Mages.
Under normal circumstances, it would take at least a Legend of decent strength to break into such a manor.
Roland entered the manor and asked the butler to take him to see Stephanie.
Stephanie had just finished showering and was in her bedroom in her pajamas, with two maids helping her with her long hair.
At the same time, she was holding a bowl and eating the fruit inside.
"A rendezvous with the Holy Lady," Stephanie teased. "This is something that many noble men would love to do, and if they knew, they might be envious enough to beat you to death."
Roland sat down across from Stephanie and said, "I won't joke around, but after talking to the Holy Lady for a while, I feel that something is not quite right."
"What do you mean?"
"Do you remember what happened between your ex-husband and that fallen angel?"
Stephanie nodded. How could she not remember?
She had almost died.
And it just so happened that her father was going to test her, and she had no strength or resources at hand.
If it hadn't been for Roland and Andonara's help, even if she survived the test, she probably wouldn't have gotten the inheritance.
"That fallen angel is a Demigod, a real Demigod, not the fake kind." Roland chuckled and said, "Descended from the Paradise of Life again, and even though he has fallen to become a dark angel, it doesn't mean that his power has also become evil."
Stephanie listened quietly to Roland, quite seriously, and even forgot to eat the fruit, just holding the small fruit and preparing to stuff it into the corner of her mouth.
Roland continued, "It stands to reason that a Demigod angel's ability to hide is stronger than a devil's no matter what, but the Demigod angel was quickly found out, and now there's no news of this devil. Do you think that's possible?"
Stephanie's eyes were misty.
She always looked like this when she was thinking.
After a while, she said, "Indeed, now that you mention it, I also feel that something is not quite right."
"The Church of Light has its own screening system that works very well, but even so, the devil hasn't been found, which is more or less wrong." Roland tapped his fingers lightly on the table. "And most importantly, the Holy Lady actually wants me to take Peter away and keep him away from the center of the vortex. This seems to be for Peter's good, for the good of the capital, and she doesn't want the city to be in turmoil. It's just that this reason, somehow, gives me a feeling that something isn't quite right. "
Stephanie looked up. "The Church of Light is definitely hiding something very important."
"What's there for them to hide!"
"The devil is too powerful, and they don't dare to alert the enemy?" Roland's expression became very odd. "Or is it that there's a family scandal … and they're too embarrassed to make it public?"
"I think it's a family scandal." Stephanie immediately became excited.
Women loved gossip so much.
"First Princess, what kind of family scandal do you think it could be?" Roland said with a smile.
Stephanie thought for a moment and said with a subtly happy expression, "A priest or bishop has fallen?"
"It's highly likely." Roland laughed. "And it's very likely to be difficult to deal with, even linked to Peter's life."
"I see, I'm going to mobilize the royal family and the Association of Mages for a joint investigation." Stephanie jumped up and wasn't in a hurry to eat. "For decades, it's been the Church of Light that's been pressing down on us, and now it's our turn to fight back."
"I'm not telling you this to get you into this mess," Roland said helplessly, "but to let you protect yourself."
"Bring Andonara over and protect me, okay?" Stephanie pleaded. "Please, this time it's a matter of whether or not our royal family can hold our heads high, I don't want to miss it."
"Okay." Roland thought about it and agreed.
Andonara's strength had improved a lot again.
After getting his specialty, Fire Magic Enhancement, she was a lot stronger.
Now that she had Phoenix's blood essence, her strength had improved further.
Now in the entire main plane, of all the mortals, there was probably no one who could beat her.
With her protecting Stephanie, she certainly didn't drink it. Besides, the two of them were friends, and it was good to get together occasionally.
Roland immediately teleported back to Delpon, and after giving some instructions to Vivian and the vampire Christina, he took Andonara and teleported back to the First Princess's manor.
The two friends hadn't seen each other for a long time, and when they met, both were bouncing and overjoyed.
Roland, on the other hand, went to the basement below the manor and used the magic facilities left behind by the First Princess's ex-husband to conduct magic experiments.
At the same time, he took the time to read the news on the forum.
Roland didn't want to deal with the Realm of Devils for the time being.
The players teamed up with the Guardians of Light and didn't directly attack Paimon's main city. Instead, they began to split up and sweep around.
If they encountered demons that weren't succubi, they would be killed.
If they encountered breeding cities, they would break into the city and rescue them.
If they encountered succubi, they would capture them, beat them up, and take them away, regardless of whether they were willing to go with the players or not.
If there was a strong resistance, they would be beaten until they cried, beaten into submission, and then taken away.
Now the nature of the expedition to the Realm of Devils had changed a bit.
Before, it was a battle of human counterattack, a battle of faith for the Holy Army of Light.
Now … it had become a battle of interests.
As the players caught more and more succubi, and as more and more Mages practiced contract magic, two-thirds of the players had already found their beloved partners.
Then many succubi were also sent to the Guardians of Light.
These succubi would be brought back to the Holy Realm by the Guardians of Light and then sold to the nobles of the capital at a high price.
This way, not only would the expeditionary army not lose money, but it would also make a lot of money.
The soldiers who died and were injured would also receive more pensions.
This was Schuck's decision.
Although it slightly conflicted with the doctrine of Light, Roland believed that it didn't conflict with the goddess's philosophy.
The so-called doctrines were just human speculations about the gods, and not all of them were correct.
This decision was unanimously well received by the entire Holy War expeditionary army.
At this time, Paimon, sitting in his palace and listening to the information that the devils had gathered, was also speechless.
He had thought that he would soon have to watch the Golden Sons and the Church of Light join forces to attack his city.
But after waiting and waiting, he received information that the Golden Sons and the Church of Light were capturing succubi everywhere.
Then, his worldview shattered into pieces.
The succubi were a lower-middle race in the Realm of Devils.
As for strength, they were so-so.
In terms of numbers, there were quite a lot of them.
They were the third most populous race.
The first was the flame imp, and the second was the bone devil.
The demons of the Realm of Devils had always regarded succubi as a job to vent, and no one from the higher races was ever willing to marry a succubus.
Never!
Even the philandering male version of Phoenix had never laid a hand on a succubus.
He would rather have fun with a multi-armed Naga than a succubus.
And then such a succubus became a treasure of humans, desperately capturing and luring them to surrender.
Didn't the humans know that the succubus bloodline was lowly?
Didn't they know that succubi could only give birth to succubi, and it was almost impossible for a hybrid to occur?
Did they want that?
Even as a Demon God who had lived for hundreds, almost a thousand years, Paimon was a little puzzled.
While he was puzzled, Sidi's voice came from the mental channel. "Damn it, more and more succubi are breaking away from my mental senses. Paimon, order that the succubi be stopped from going out and not coming into contact with humans. They have to stay in the city, otherwise my strength will plummet."
Paimon wasn't in a good mood, and when he heard this semi-commanding tone, he finally became a little unhappy. "Sidi, are you telling me what to do?"
"You ungrateful bastard, who do you think I suffered such a big loss for?"
"All right." Paimon took a deep breath and said, "I'll give the order, lest you keep screaming."
"You …" Sidi was quite unhappy, and she decided to pull all the succubi under her command away at once.
At this time, another voice came from the mental channel. "Paimon, Sidi, is your plan not going too well?"
"What good news do you have on your side?" Paimon frowned.
"It's really not bad." Judas laughed happily. "While the human army was attacking the city and plundering the land here, I secretly sent a few Heartless Demons, who are good at hiding, through the portal and made a trip to the capital of Fareins."
"What's going on over there with the humans?" Paimon asked.
Judas laughed. "The Golden Sons' forces are almost all in the Realm of Devils, and then the Church of Light is quite lax right now, and these Heartless Demons have done something big. Guess what?"
"Assassinated the Pope of Light or the Holy Lady?"
"They corrupted a Saint Samurai, can you believe it?"
"How is that possible!"
Paimon and Sidi cried out at the same time, their faces full of disbelief.
At the same time, Stephanie got the intelligence that her father had sent over, and after a glance at it, she cried out the same way.
"How is that possible!"
Andonara, who was drinking her afternoon tea, looked up at Stephanie with a somewhat puzzled expression.
And Lady Bluebird, who was sitting next to her, jumped up in fright at Stephanie.
A pair of chest armor came up and shook slightly.
Quite bouncy!
