At this moment.

Chi Yu thought to himself, "Sure enough."

Although there have been speculations before, and this information was used to convince Fryer and the player named "Star" not long ago... but speculations without conclusive evidence are just rootless duckweeds after all.

No matter how confident you are, there will still be a little uneasiness in your heart.

however.

Now, her test has proven the correctness of her guess!

As expected, the original owner of this body was not Princess Adele Chris, but the substitute prepared by Duke Belial for the former.

From the sentence "The hypocrite who has imprisoned me for more than ten years" in the mission description, we can know that Quilt Belial has obviously started planning for today a long time ago.

Did he predict more than ten years ago that the future princess Adele would be burned at the stake?

Or is "I" just an insurance policy to save Adele Chris's life? Even if there is no burning at the stake two days later, I will sacrifice my life for Adele when she encounters other dangers?

Chi Yu's eyes flickered.

Also, judging from Belial's performance this morning, there is a high probability that he does not know that the "Her Royal Highness" opposite has been replaced - he has imprisoned the original owner for more than ten years, and the original owner must be full of hatred for him. There's no way he doesn't know this.

If she were Quilter Belial, she would never be able to release such an unstable factor from the basement before the Day of Burning.

In other words...the original owner escaped on his own.

At this moment, Chi Yu thought of the mysterious woman who gave her the "forbidden drug".

He remembered the mark on the right shoulder that seemed to belong to a demon.

Seeing that she didn't speak, the princess Adele on the opposite side tilted her head and sighed: "So it's been a long time since we last met?"

"This place is so dark and scary. You can't feel the passage of time when you stay here."

"I really don't know how you have managed to survive these past ten years."

Chi Yu kept a cold, indifferent expression and said nothing.

Adele didn't care and just said to herself: "Is the Day of Fire coming soon?"

"...Unfortunately, there's still a whole day left."

"That's it..." Adele smiled weakly, "If possible, you'd better get rid of Belial's surveillance before the Day of Fire, leave the royal city, and don't appear as me again in the future... …Don’t even meet your family.”

Hearing this, Chi Yu was stunned for a moment.

Is this... giving me advice?

"After my death, Belial should be able to detect the abnormality very quickly."

Adele continued, "Beryl... he is dangerous and terrifying. Once your identity is exposed, you will not be able to survive from his hands."

"so……"

Chi Yu interrupted: "Do you know him well?"

"..."

Adele smiled bitterly, "No, I don't know him well."

"Although we have met every day for the past ten years... in his eyes, I am just a tool for communication between him and the gods. Who would open his heart to a dead object?"

"...God?"

Chi Yu frowned slightly.

"Don't you know?" Adele smiled, "I am not only the princess of Leiden, but also the priest of the Temple of Order."

"Ever since I was five years old, I have been able to hear divine revelations."

"Beryl calls it...an oracle."

Chi Yu was shocked: "That's why Belial..."

"Ah."

Adele smiled self-deprecatingly, "What he cares about is not me, but my ability to communicate with the gods. If one day I lose this power...he will definitely eliminate this useless person like me without hesitation." .”

Her last words clearly meant something.

At this moment, Chi Yu didn't pay much attention to the princess's reminder.

She is thinking...

The name "Temple of Order" must be related to the Hand of Rules.

It is most likely the same place as the "temple" mentioned by Melsetas.

But, that's not right.

The main line that the player named Xingxing received was to "find the demon hidden in the royal city"... Listening to her discussion with Fryer, this "demon" most likely refers to Quilter Belial. "

Based on the history of Leiden...the player and Fryer should belong to the "Hand of Rules" camp.

According to her previous speculation, the god that Leiden now believes in should be the "Hand of Rules"... By inference, although it is somewhat unreasonable, the princess and the duke as the ruling class should indeed be believers of the "devil".

But now...what happens?

Adele said she was a priest of the "Temple of Order"?

Are the princess and the duke the "just" parties?

Are the player and Flair actually the devil's apostles?

Chi Yu suppressed the confusion in his heart: "Wait a minute, who is the god you are talking about...?"

"I don't know his name."

Adele replied, "Only by chance, I once heard in a dream that someone called Him...the Nightmare Lord."

……

The next day.

early morning.

Chi Yu swallowed the "forbidden drug" and recalled his conversation with the princess Adele last night.

"Nightmare Lord, just hearing the name makes me feel very evil... Although I have a grudge against the Hand of Rules, I cannot unscrupulously associate the name Demon Lord with that person..."

"So, my previous guess was correct."

"Duke Quilter Belial is indeed a member of the devil camp!"

"However, there is another question that is rather strange."

"In the previous dream, the person who wanted to trade with me mentioned the word 'Demon Lord'... The mark on my shoulder also proves that the original owner's transaction partner is related to the devil..."

Chi Yu had a strange expression, "Is it possible that there are two demons ruling Leiden?"

Split personality?

twin?

They were originally partners, but now they are fighting among themselves?

Or is it simply someone pretending to be the Goddess of Justice?

No, this is unlikely. After all, according to her stereotype of the goddess of justice, the other party should not say such bloody lines as "offer bones and blood" and "offer soul".

Of course, the possibility of acting is not ruled out.

"so complicated……"

Chi Yu rubbed his hair.

"Forget it, let's not consider this issue for now."

As the saying goes, you have to eat one meal at a time and solve problems one by one.

The top priority is to find a way to convey the news that "Quilt Belial is related to the devil" to Flair and the two players.

Just when Chi Yu was thinking about how to contact them.

dong dong dong.

There was a knock on the door.

Then, with a "squeak" sound, the door to the room was pushed open.

Chi Yu turned around and saw a maid looking over.

There was a trace of confusion on her face, as if she hadn't woken up: "Your Royal Highness, Dr. Leicester has arrived. Should I arrange to meet in the reception room, or should I bring her here directly?"
