Chapter 71: He is the god of the new world.
Do you have to not question his arrangements?
He is really an extremely bad master~
Liz’s eyebrows curved into crescents along with the corners of her mouth, and her smile rippled back and forth between them. She While hugging the book in her hand, she finally made a choice in her heart that she thought she would not regret.
However, there is one sentence that she actually agrees with, that is, undead magic cannot be spoken casually. After all, it is a secret that should not be spoken in public.
She will keep this secret well and then do what she should do.
Liz hid the book in her hand in the pocket of the maid's apron, and then continued to help Sirius clean as usual as if nothing had happened.
"Liz?"
Just when Liz finished cleaning Sirius' room and was about to leave, she found herself stopped by a maid.
The other person seemed to be slightly shorter than herself. As for the girl's name, a character like Liz who only remembered the names of a few acquaintances naturally didn't know it.
"Yeah."
"Liz, you seem to be a little too active recently..."
There was a hint of displeasure in the girl's eyes. After all, everyone originally had their own division of labor arrangements, and Liz has almost been doing it these days. Their jobs were all taken away, leaving them at a loss as to what they should do.
Maybe in the eyes of some stupid people, this may be a good thing. After all, if Liz does more things here, they can have a lot less work over there.
If you have that time, you can even take a leisurely stroll in the city, and use your salary to buy some nice clothes or delicious snacks you want to eat.
But the problem is, Fanny always feels that their employment value will continue to decline if this continues.
No one would keep hiring unnecessary labor, especially in Fanny's view, Liz's various actions were guiding the results in this direction.
"Every day you try your best to please Mr. Sirius, and even asked him to get a single room for you. Now you have been alone in the room with Mr. Siris for so long. You are not doing anything obscene in there..."
"Do you want to be a corpse?"
"...You?!"
Before Fanny could finish her words, she realized that Liz, who had always been gentle and kind, suddenly seemed like a different person.
The eyes were full of coldness, and when he looked at her, he wanted to look at a corpse. This contrast made Fanny feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.
"Okay, okay, we were almost deceived by you. I didn't expect that you, who has always been so gentle and gentle in front of everyone, would actually be such a person.
I just said a few words to you, and you want to kill me?"
"..."
Liz's eyes gradually returned to calmness, and at the same time, she felt a little regretful about her impulse just now.
She didn't know what was wrong with her. Normally she wouldn't be such an angry character. Even if her father beat and scolded her, she would not reveal her true face before she was sure to fight back.
But now she's going to argue with the woman in front of her, whose name she doesn't even know? She didn't think it was necessary.
"Sorry, I'm going to do my job."
"What? Do you still want to continue like this?"
Fanny's words stopped Liz in her tracks. She turned back and looked at Fanny calmly, It was as if the fierce person just now was not him.
However, such a calm look still made Fanny feel a little scared. She was always a bully, but when she saw that Liz, who was easy to bully, didn't give her any face at all, her tone of voice suddenly became much softer.
"To be honest... don't think that just because you are prettier than us and have a better figure than us, you can get close to Lord Sirius.
He is a royal nobleman. Even if he has not ascended the throne, he is not someone we commoners can get close to. . Do you think you are acting like this these days because we are jealous?
Fart, we are not so small-minded! Sister, I am helping you~
You heartless person, you were so cruel to me just now, I am so sad and heartbroken..."
Fan Ni didn't know if she was really frightened by that scary look just now, or if she didn't want to make this matter too serious.
In short, she said a lot at this moment, her expression seemed quite sincere, and every word she said seemed sincere.
"I hope Lizzie you can understand that there are some dreams that you shouldn't have. We are just servants, and we will be Siris's servants all our lives.
We just need to do what we should do, and there is no point in showing more, you Can you get the happiness you want? Or do you think it's worth just being a plaything that may be abandoned at any time?
Don't you hope that one day you can leave here with enough savings to find your true happiness? ?
People must know how to know themselves. I only hope Liz that you can cherish your own advantages and don't put your youth on unattainable daydreams."
"Real happiness?"
Liz smiled, just this The smile is a bit exaggerated, but unfortunately only she understands this exaggeration.
"Then thank you sister for your advice. I will consider your suggestion carefully."
Liz bowed slightly to express her gratitude, and then left the corridor on the second floor with the big broom in her hand.
When Fanny saw Liz leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall next to her, muttering to herself in a low voice:
"Huh... it's too scary.
No, she didn't really kill anyone, right? I feel like I have to report this matter secretly to Siris."
———————————
A few days later, Anka Cathedral.
Today is Jim's third day working in the church, and it is also the third day he has gradually adapted to this "undercover" life.
He felt that he was a relatively hard-working person. Even if he concealed his identity as a royal magician and joined the church as an ordinary person, he never felt that there was any shame in doing so.
But the question is...
"Mr. Jim, what is the third article of the canon?"
"The third article..."
"Forget it, you should go back and take a closer look. If you want to become a qualified preacher, how can you illuminate the church? Can't even recite all the scriptures?"
Jim's expression was a little embarrassed. He looked at the priest in front of him. In a sense, the priest was his guide, telling him some of the daily work of the church and introducing to him what the church needed to face. What kind of crowd.
Because Jim felt that he needed a lot of time to do his own things, he did not choose to be a priest who always listened to other people's confessions in the church.
For someone like a preacher, who often goes out to do some things and does not need to stay in church all the time, this is the job that he feels is most suitable for him now.
However, he has never forgotten the mission Sirius gave him. In the past few days, he has often paid attention to the nuns in the church. Of course, he soon found out who the nun Sirius was talking about.
After all, the nun who seems to have a weak personality and cute appearance is quite unique in the entire church. If it were normal, Jim would probably just complain a few words in his heart, but now he was a little worried about how he should introduce the other person.
"Jim, your eyes are straight."
The priest named Hamer looked helplessly at the man who had just joined their church. His knowledge of Jim was actually limited to his name and identity as a refugee. But now one more thing may need to be added: a lustful person with evil intentions.
Shaking his head, Hammer didn't want to say anything. He was actually just an ordinary person working here. In fact, many people in the church do not have any pious reverence for the God of Light. Many people are just here to make ends meet.
Ankh has indeed become much more prosperous than before, because the church continues to expand and even attracts many foreign clergy.
But speaking of clergy, don’t everyone just want to find a better place to stay?
As long as they don't do anything outrageous, most people won't care.
"Sorry, Father Hammer, do you know the name of that nun?" "
You mean Alice."
"Yes, that's Alice."
Jim nodded, not noticing the flash in Hammer's eyes. alert.
"She seems to have been here for a long time. She was already a member of the Anka Church before me, but she is relatively withdrawn and has a relatively introverted personality. So no one has ever been friends with her. But I don't
recommend that you stay too far away from her. Come on, this is my advice to you."
"Ah?" Jim was stunned for a moment, and began to wonder if this seemingly ordinary girl with a cute appearance had some deeper identity, "Okay, I understand. "
As long as you understand." Hammer breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jim's tone didn't sound like he was lying.
However, it was obvious that Jim's actual behavior did not implement what Hammer had in mind. It was just that throughout the day, Jim was secretly observing Alice's every move.
Even when the sun went down and Alice changed out of her nun uniform and prepared to go home, the sneaky Jim kept looking for opportunities to follow and watch.
He wanted to know why Siris allowed him to keep an eye on this girl.
Jim knew that this was a test, and judging from Sirius's words, the other party was probably an enemy of the demons, a character who could affect the great cause of the demons in the days to come.
But it seemed that Alice was not so difficult that Siris needed to do it himself, so he just left it to him to see if he could deal with this weak-looking girl.
"Wait... I've lost track of you?"
As Jim walked, he noticed that Alice, who was walking in front, suddenly seemed to disappear. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was discovered or not. The other party walked into some building.
"Sir, are you looking for me?"
Just as Jim was swaying from side to side and even standing on tiptoes to look around, he suddenly found himself being tapped on the shoulder.
Then when he turned around, he was horrified to see that the person behind him was the Alice he had been following.
When did he run behind him?
"Sir, if I remember correctly, I seem to have seen you in the church."
"Yes... I just came to the church and I don't understand many things." "
So you know how to follow me, right? "
..."
Mo La's two words left Jim speechless. Only then did he feel that he might have underestimated the task given to him by Lord Siris.
That's right, if you can gain the Demon King's trust just by dealing with an ordinary human girl, that would be a bit ridiculous. At this moment, Jim felt very regretful. He believed that his arrogance towards this small city had brought him to this embarrassing situation.
"Mr. Jim, if I remember correctly, this is your name, right?"
There was a hint of joking in Moura's eyes. She felt like she was being insulted. She never thought that the hateful guy would use An ordinary human magician came to monitor him.
That’s right, Lord Demon King, what do you do that requires you to consider other people’s feelings?
It was really ironic that he even specially arranged for a human traitor to deal with a demon traitor like himself.
Do you want her to see from another angle how disgusting a traitor is?
Even every word she used to persuade the other party to repent could become Sirius' words to attack her in the future?
"Let's find a place to chat alone."
"...Yeah."
Although the two walked into the alley one after another, from the perspective of passers-by, this was just a special transaction that made people smile. , but only Maura and Jim knew that it involved many secrets that ordinary people didn't know.
The moonlight was cold, shining on every brick and tile in the deserted alley, and casting a long shadow behind the two of them.
Jim had been following Mo La silently, thinking about the true identity of this girl from beginning to end.
He thought about many possibilities, but what he didn't expect was that after Mo La stood still in front of him, she would directly say this to him: "
Why did you betray your compatriots?"
"I don't understand... I I was just following you, why would you say I betrayed my compatriots?"
Jim was stunned for a moment, and then decisively denied it.
"It seems that he really gave you a lot of benefits, so that you would betray your own race and join the demons..."
Jim fell into a long silence after hearing this.
It wasn't until he saw the loneliness on the girl's face that he realized that the other party seemed to be persuading him to look back.
But... can he turn back? In other words, what is the meaning of turning back?
"Assuming that everything you say is true, how can you be sure that standing on the side of mankind is correct? Humans will not kill each other?
Or is it that you, as a saint of the church, hide your identity in such a perennial world? Where the war broke out, you only saw the same hatred among them, but you didn't see the phenomenon of cannibalism happening further away?" "
You...you are really hopeless. You only saw some unfair things one-sidedly. If there is a good phenomenon, then deny all human beings?!"
Mo La was furious for a moment. She did not correct Jim's "saint", she just felt that Jim's words in front of her were too harsh.
And before she could continue to refute anything, the human traitor in front of her continued:
"Now that you know who sent me, I won't hide it anymore.
But have you ever thought that during the days when Lord Siris disguised his identity and became the second prince of the empire, even though he had restrained himself very much, he was still almost killed by his own brother?
If he didn't have the power to reverse everything, do you think he would be alive today?
Does the one-sided phenomenon you speak of include this kind of struggle at the top of the empire? You have to know that Lord Siris is not a person who destroys the world at all.
He is changing this corrupt and fallen world. He is the God of the new world! "
"……ah? "
Mora was a little confused listening to Jim's series of speeches. She couldn't even tell whether she was a demon or the other person was a demon.
