As a Sword Saint, I Want to Be a Demon King

"Who... were you talking to just now?"

The witch's voice came from behind.

The other party's voice sounded hesitant:

"Why do I feel a strange breath on you?"

"I'm just talking to myself."

Egwene turned her back to her and replied:

"As for the strange smell... maybe you feel wrong."

Then she didn't speak any more, opened the door and left the room.

"Xianya, I have two tasks for you."

After leaving the dormitory, Ewen said to Little Lolita:

"Looking for a party around here, maybe five, maybe more;"

"These people have my divine power fluctuations on them, so they should be easy to identify. Go and take all the energy from their weapons."

"Then follow the woman in the room just now and see where she went."

"Understood, Master!"

Little Lolita was very enthusiastic about performing the task, and immediately flew outside happily after hearing this.

She has the ability to pass through obstacles when she is invisible, she can pass through walls and the like, and it is only a matter of time before she finds those few people.

Ai Wen didn't delay, and went straight to find Angelina.

"You want to know about the other witch?"

The female tutor is working in the new alchemy workshop.

After knowing her purpose of coming, he asked in surprise:

"why?"

"I just want to confirm what kind of person she is."

Egwene answered.

"She is as poor a creature as you and I."

Angelina sighed:

"It's only because of her teacher... that she became what she is now."

"Her teacher, is that cruel character in the legend, who destroyed a country because of a bad mood?"

"How did you know?"

Angelina asked in surprise.

"I just found out by chance."

Egwene replied:

"I want to ask you a very important question: What will happen if she fails the test?"

"The best end is to die peacefully."

Angelina's answer was exactly the same as the other party's:

"As for the bad ending... trust me, you don't want to know the answer."

"If she really died because of this, will the kingdom be angered by her teacher and lead to destruction?"

"Probably."

Angelina thought about it seriously this time before answering her question:

"That one likes her very much, otherwise she would not have been selected to accept the test... If she dies because of this incident, it is hard to imagine what terrible consequences will happen."

"But you said Ken would help the country..."

"Dragon Slayer? Yes, he will not sit back and watch this country be destroyed."

A sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of Angelina's mouth:

"But have you misunderstood something? Do you regard Dragon Slayer as the savior?"

"I do not understand what you mean."

Ai Wen rarely saw such an expression from a female mentor, so she asked anxiously.

"Although it's not suitable for me to say it..."

Angelina's sarcastic smile was not aimed at her, it flashed across her face:

"Dragon Slayers are lunatics. Most people will be afraid of them when they meet them, and they won't provoke them easily;"

"But it's a pity... Janet's teacher is also a lunatic."

"If two lunatics go to war in the kingdom without any scruples, what do you think Poultin will look like?"

Hearing her words, Aiwen took a deep breath and was speechless again!

"—The dragon slayer is not one person, but a group of people, and Janet's teacher has more than one disciple;"

Angelina concluded:

"Once the war starts, both sides will never have any scruples. No matter which side wins, Poltain is destined to be destroyed in the end."

"This conflict ... has no winners."

After getting the information she needed, Ai Wen left with complicated emotions.

Angelina didn't tell her too much, but she also gave her a general idea about the witch:

——Princess Janet only entered the palace in the last 10 years, and she used the identity of a folk magician at the beginning.

Her research direction is very special, neither offensive spells nor defensive spells, but crystal ball divination and pharmacy.

Due to the death of the previous princess due to a strange illness, the old king gradually changed from wise and powerful to withdrawn and weird, often suspicious, and he was far less concerned about the affairs of the kingdom than before.

This situation reached its peak after the eldest prince Charles suffered from the same strange disease.

The king began to anger the ministers and the people, and often innocent people lost their official positions and were even brutally killed.

Later, there were also rumors that he secretly searched for beauties, kidnapped them secretly and tortured them in the palace.

Of course, not many people believed such rumors, and those who spread them were soon hanged.

It wasn't until Janet entered the palace as a court magician that the king changed.

Although he still ignored the government affairs, his temper gradually returned to normal, and he started talking and laughing with the ministers.

Because of Janet's research, the strange disease of the eldest prince Charles got a special medicine, and finally got better, and his body gradually became healthy.

Therefore, when the king announced that he would marry Janet as his wife, most of the nobles were supportive, and many people believed that this was the gospel of Poultan.

— except for one person.

This person is the old Prime Minister Christopher.

"The old prime minister did not know where to see through Janet's identity. She suspected that she killed the previous princess, and then secretly murdered the eldest prince, gaining the king's trust and favor;"

Connecting all the known clues together, Ai Wen got a clear context map in her mind:

"But he doesn't have any evidence. Even the prime minister of the kingdom can't just convict a princess, especially if the other party is deeply trusted by the king and his subjects."

"So he can only choose the most extreme method, which is assassination!"

Egwene finally figured out the truth of the matter:

"But Janet's strength is too strong, and all the assassinations ended in failure."

"Until... the Benson family got the method of making artifacts from me."

In other words, he caused today's result?

The silver-haired girl's heart seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar:

If the princess was really killed or expelled by the old prime minister, resulting in the failure of the witch test, wouldn't the Poltan Kingdom be in danger?

——In that case, wouldn’t I be a sinner who caused the destruction of the entire kingdom!

"Master, I followed that woman to her hiding place."

Little Lolita Xianya flew back not long after, and thanked her master happily:

"I also took all the energy from those weapons back, there is nothing left."

"well done."

Ai Wen touched her little head and said in a deep voice:

"Take me there to find her right away...Let this matter be completely over today."

——Just now, she made a decision that even she felt unbelievable!

……

"How did you get here?"

Seeing her, the witch was shocked.

"Never mind how I got here, I'm here to ask you a question."
