I really only stop

Obviously frightened by the president's judgment, Vice President Silver Blade and Ms. OL looked at each other and asked tentatively:

"Master President, isn't this a bit too strict? Five-person missions are at best small-group missions, and a team of 15 people can already be called an [adventure group]."

"That's not an exaggeration."

Shaking his head resolutely, President Fallon's voice became a little lower:

"The support of the clergy to the rest of the team is immeasurable. Once they withdraw, the risk of the adventurers being maimed or even wiped out will be greatly increased—since they cannot get the support of the Holy Light for a while, they can only We can exchange the number of people for safety, and do our best to ensure that all adventurers return safely."

It is true that such an arrangement will directly reduce the task processing efficiency of the entire Adventurers Guild to less than one-third of the original level, but with the current situation, I am afraid there is no better alternative.

"In addition, all the potions stored in the guild will be sold to adventurers in need at a reduced price, and the logistics department will also rush to remind them. At this time, the demand for potions will definitely increase greatly."

A series of arrangements were made at a very fast speed. After the Vice President Silver Blade and Ms. OL took orders to go to work and closed the door, President Fallon sighed faintly:

"When I woke up like this, what happened to this world..."

Chapter 813

[Abandonment of the Holy Light: You cannot use any holy spells, proverbs, or enhancements related to the Holy Light. 】

It was just a short introduction, but it made Lu Xi instantly understand the current situation of Miss Saint.

"……How about it?"

Worried about putting on a thin blanket for Yuxia who was sitting dumbfounded, Nana asked in a low voice:

"Is it something similar to the Sea Clan's [Curse of Silence]?"

"I don't know."

Shaking his head slightly, Lu Xi answered truthfully:

"My identification technique can only tell that Yuxia is completely isolated by the Holy Light. Unlike ordinary curses, there is no time limit on this debuff, in other words—"

In other words, if the specific reason for this anomaly is not found out, Her Royal Highness the Holy Empress will no longer shine.

Although Lu Xi didn't say the second half of the sentence, both Nana and Celica understood what he wanted to express.

"—I, I don't think this is right!"

Standing up from her seat in a hurry, the anxious Celica stammered and said:

"We are not professional clergymen. If we just sit at home, we will definitely not be able to find out the reason. I will go to the church in the city of Rhine to have a look. You must, must wait for me!!!"

"Celica!"

There was no time to stop Celica, who was hot-blooded, and seeing her run out of the door in a hurry, the soft girl who was worried that she would cause some trouble also got up immediately:

"I'll follow her! Lucy stay here with Yuxia!"

"Well, leave it to me."

He nodded at Ruanmei, and saw that she also ran out with Celica, Lu Xi paused for a moment, and then sat back beside Miss Saintess who had been silent all this time:

"...Yusia, don't force yourself to think about things that you can't understand for the time being. Everything happens for a reason. Since you told me that something was wrong last night, I asked Nova to improve Observe the frequency of the surrounding changes. After a while, I will review the data carefully, and maybe I will be able to know the reason for this strange debuff on you—"

"……I know."

"--Eh?"

The comforting words were interrupted by a whisper from the girl, looking at Yuxia with some astonishment, Lu Xi subconsciously repeated what she said:

"you know?"

"In my sleep last night, the holy light gave me revelation."

Crouching silently, Miss Saint leaned her head gently on Lu Xi's shoulder:

"...At first I didn't believe her identity. At that time, she didn't refute, but told me [everything after waking up will prove what she said]. Now it seems that this is the so-called evidence .”

holy light?Apocalypse?

Unable to think that Miss Saintess would give such an answer, Lu Xi asked subconsciously:

"Did you have some strange dream?"

"No, that wasn't a dream."

Eyes closed slightly tired, the girl just quietly leaned on the shoulder of her sweetheart:

"In that apocalypse called a dream, the Holy Light we believe in came to me in person. She told me many things, about everything that was about to happen, explaining her policies and strategies, and... It's also about you, Lucy."

"...At this point, please don't hide anything from me anymore."

As if unwilling to wake up from the beautiful dream in front of her, the girl with slightly closed eyes whispered, her tone was like talking in sleep:

"Lu Xi, are you really [Devil King's Army officer]?"

------------

"!"

As if she didn't notice the momentary stiffness of the person she was leaning against, the girl just curled up on his shoulder as usual, talking to herself:

"I remember in the event of the Phantom Thief in the Imperial Capital, the moment I saw the so-called cadre Phantom, a subconscious sense of familiarity and even closeness flashed in my heart. In order to expel this inexplicable sense of closeness from my heart, I worked extra hard in the battle that day. However, it was strange that no matter how powerful my attack was, I could somehow be blocked by that annoying [Phantom]. Until the end of the battle, I was only I only hit him with one punch—and this punch was thrown from the standpoint of [helping]. Tell me, isn’t this very similar to [someone’s] fighting style?”

More than just like, this is simply me!

Although the lady saint who is warm and fragrant by her own house seems to be leaning intimately, the heart of the protagonist Mr. is cold.

Speaking of, speaking of it, what did Yuxia just ask me?

what?What cadre?

What is this kind of hacking ability that suddenly knows everything after sleeping?If I hadn't started to panic after I started the time-stop with quick eyesight and quick hands, I would have cried out of fear on the spot.

It's not that I'm worried that Yuxia, who has a sweet voice, will suddenly turn black and stab me with a knife. It's just that she has just suffered such a big setback from losing her holy arts. Accepted?

…No, calm down, maybe it’s just a routine [Cross-server chat] now, what Yuxiya is telling me may really be just her dream last night, it can’t be taken as real.

I have to say that Master Lu is really brave sometimes, really.

Although there was a little uneasiness in his heart, Lu Xi did not escape.He just quietly hugged the girl into his arms, facing her 'talking to himself' silently.

"The second appearance of the phantom seems to be when exploring the Hakoniwa version of Osiris?"

Feeling his movements, Yuxia smiled slightly and continued her narration:

"When the cadre named [Xia Li] was captured by me and was about to spit out more information, the cadre Phantom who had left a deep impression on me appeared again, without even showing his face, without anyone noticing Stealing Xia Li from my bondage - it's really a [special] method, just like [someone's] unique space teleportation."

She found me!She must have spotted me!

Hearing the strange tone of Miss Saintess, Lu Xi also felt something was wrong while becoming more and more sure of the previous judgment.

Yuxia found out that my cadre status must not have escaped, but her reaction was far beyond my previous expectations.

Anger, sadness, panic... All kinds of possible reactions in guesses did not appear. Looking at her current appearance as usual, there is no trace of the usual [Demon Hunter who raises the holy hammer when she sees the demons] ·Pseudo] demeanor?

Could it be that, because all the holy arts she possessed were stripped away by unknown existences, my Miss Saintess has also let go of her hostility towards the demons?

"If I remember correctly, that demon named Xia Li said such a sentence when his identity was revealed?"

Seeing that Lu Xi did not speak, Miss Saintess was not in a hurry.Her tone was slow, like a lazy cat teasing its prey:

"'Our demon nature is quite serious, so it won't have the effect of making people blush and heartbeat.'"

"You even remember this?!"

Unable to keep silent anymore, Lu Xi was startled:

"Xia Li just mentioned something very quickly at that time. Seeing that you haven't mentioned it since then, I thought you forgot it."

"How is it possible? Lu Xi, don't underestimate the memory of the Holy Empress."

The head moved slightly, and the saintess, who was leaning on Lu Xi, lifted her chin and rubbed it on his shoulder, and looked at the man's flustered side face with great interest:

"The question I asked her at that time was 'Is it you who exerted the magic power on us in Little Garden', and her answer was obviously negative. Then the question came——I was in Little Garden at the time and had the will The four of us plus Natsuri were the only ones who escaped, if she wasn't the cadre who gave us the magic power to get out of the drama, who else would it be~?"

This is by no means the tense atmosphere that Lu Xi guessed when he imagined what would happen if he was exposed. Even if the words have reached this point, the girl still uses the gentle tone she usually gets along with, as if she doesn't care at all that the cadre is here. Like her side.

"—Th-those are just [indirect] conjectures, right?!"

Perhaps bewildered by the seemingly relaxed and everyday atmosphere of 'torture' in front of him, as soon as the naive protagonist is relieved, he immediately wants to make a final struggle—or play tricks:

"Evidence! Evidence! If there is no evidence that can be produced, the judge will not accept you!"

"In terms of evidence...there is no such thing."

Slightly puffing up her mouth, even the most brilliant Miss Saint Empress has to admit that someone has the talent to secretly be a villain:

"A certain Mr. [Phantom] is impeccable when it comes to facts. You are right. Everything I said just now is inference. Not to mention whether Xia Li, who is the enemy, provided false information to drive us apart. In terms of intelligence, even if her testimony is accepted, apart from Lu Xi, Nana and Celica also have the possibility of becoming [Phantom]."

"Ha! That's acquittal~"

Subconsciously using the complacent tone of the villain in the TV series after he escaped the trial, Lu Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief:

"Since that's the case, Yuxia shouldn't think too much about it. Judging from the current situation, finding the cause of the abnormality as soon as possible is the most important task—huh?!"

"—I just said that no evidence was found. In this world, in addition to the physical evidence obtained from the search, [witness testimony] and [confession] are also very important evidence."

A sudden pounce pushed Lu Xi on the sofa, and she unknowingly returned to the ambiguous posture last night. The noble princess looked down at the man below her, with an unknown smile on the corner of her mouth:

"C-rank adventurer Lu Xi, in the name of the royal family [Leonahilde], I order you to answer me immediately and truthfully—are you a member of the Demon King's Army?"

In the morning light, her face looked so beautiful.Even though she has lost the ability to use holy arts, the girl who is suppressing me in front of her will never lack a bright brilliance.

At this moment, she briefly put away the gentle and intellectual side of the saint.On the contrary, the eyes full of aggression and possessive desire that belong exclusively to the princess stared straight at mine, and the faint smile in the eyes naturally carried the authority of the superior and an unspeakable charm .

Do you think you can make me confess by greedy me in princess mode?How naive, princess of the empire!

Just use your eyes to witness how far my self-satisfied [Steel Determination EX] can go——

"Huh~" (Blowing air in the ear.)

"—I respect the emperor's order."

Feeling the warm breath in his ears, the protagonist's brain shut down instantly, and almost subconsciously, he confessed to those beautiful eyes:

"You're right, I'm a cadre of the Demon King's Army."

Chapter 814 Reasons to Believe

After Lu Xi told the truth, there was a brief silence between the two.But soon, the silence was broken by a small laugh:

"...Puchi."

"—Are you actually laughing?!"

Only then was he able to recover from the strong abnormal state of [Charm (Saint Exclusive Edition)], Lu Xi blinked as he looked at Miss Saint, who was holding back her smile and her cheeks were even slightly flushed. blinked:

"Why are you laughing?"

"After all, after all, I didn't expect you would really admit it in that situation."

Wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes and laughing, the girl's smile at this moment is more dazzling than the dullness when she just woke up:

"That's the ultimate secret that you've been hiding for so long, and you've even spent a lot of time trying to prevent me from seeing the flaws, huh? You actually revealed it after being tortured a little by me?"

...Damn it, I feel like I was mocked secretly by her.

"Of course it's because Yuxia is very beautiful."

"--Eh?"

Unsurprisingly, seeing the girl's face changing from a restrained smile to a shy pretty face in an instant, Lu Xi seized the opportunity to fight back:

"Being pressed down by such a beautiful and imposing Royal Highness the Holy Queen, I have a strong will to not fall instantly. Can you blame me for not being able to hold back the truth for a while?"

"Goooo!"

It was only then that I noticed that I was crushing on Lu Xi again following the aura, and the lady saint who was full of domineering imperial temperament just now immediately covered her flushed cheeks, and there was a small mournful cry from the middle of her fingers:

"One, if you don't pay attention..."

Everyone, this can only be called "cute".

Through that thin layer of fabric, even the slightest changes in Yuxia's body temperature can be transmitted to my body in real time.I can clearly feel that the soft and fragrant touch is getting hotter and hotter, and it's getting more and more heart-pounding.

Is this called contrast cute?The domineering princess and the clear saint switch seamlessly, who can stand up to it?
