Chapter 398

Rin almost understood why this new character could act so arrogantly.

First, she has a very good relationship with the queen. Whether she is willing to admit it or not, the current queen did get the throne from her. The complex relationship between them may make Her Majesty the Queen waver.

Second, even if she has not returned to the capital for many years, there is still a veteran commander who has the final say in the military as a pillar behind her, and her power cannot be underestimated.

Perhaps these two points can make her confront herself head-on... No, that's not right!

Rin suddenly realized that there are still many doubts here.

What Catalina has is just to confront Rin, but she acts as if she can completely defeat Rin, which means that she does not regard Rin's identity as the Son of the Church as a difficult matter.

Although the church has no power in Giorar, it can completely regain the ground for the bishop and the Son of the Church in the name of the crusade. They have done this before.

In that case, it will lead to a diplomatic incident far more serious than the last time Rin was almost arrested in the Glowing City.

Katarina, who had been trained as an heir, would not be unaware of this.

She has a backup plan.

Rin made a quick judgment. Since this person has been linked to the Black Witch and the Death Announcer, it is not surprising that she takes some extreme measures.

Just as he was thinking about what they wanted to do, Sheryl saw him in a daze and thought that he was still uncomfortable, so she spoke to comfort him.

"Rin, don't worry, I will not change my position, even if my sister is involved."

Eve frowned and said, "In fact, I always feel that there seems to be something wrong with my aunt, but I can't tell... Iris?"

As she said this, she looked at her sister, wanting to verify it from Iris.

After all, Iris has a magical physique since she was a child and can distinguish between good and evil.

Iris was stunned, trying to think for a while, and her hair was spinning.

"It's a little strange to say that. I don't sense whether my aunt is evil or kind, and she doesn't seem to be the kind of person caught in the middle."

Cheryl patted her two daughters' heads: "Okay, don't talk about your elders secretly. The reason you feel something is wrong is because she is a spiritual mage. According to her talent, her level should be very high now."

"Spiritual mage!" Eve, who is also a spiritual mage, expressed shock.

"Well, she is also good at sensing and shielding, so you and Iris feel a little strange. Okay... Let's not talk about her first, let's talk about some serious things."

Seeing that Her Majesty's face was more solemn than ever, Rin and Iris sat up straight.

"First of all, Xiao Lin, Iris, you don't have much time left, especially you, Xiao Lin, you will apply for graduation after the exam and marry Iris. You will leave for the church on the 20th at the latest, and you can't delay in the meantime.

I will ask Eve to draft an edict in a while, and hurry up to announce the title. If there are any problems, we will deal with them later. As long as you inherit the title, even if you are not in the capital, others will not cause a big mess."

Rin knew that the queen stood firmly on his side, and he was shocked. He looked at her with a look as kind as if he was looking at his own aunt.

"The second thing is the urgent military situation mentioned before. The mirage of the dead city has appeared."

"!"

When he heard this, it was Rin who reacted the most. He almost jumped up from his chair.

The mirage of the dead city is not just a mirage, but also a channel connecting the dead city and reality, making it look like a mirage.

The so-called dead city is the birthplace of the undead. The predecessor of the current undead came from there, located in another space. Every once in a while, the dead city will be connected to the real world.

The old undead are trapped in the dead city and it is difficult to get out, but the existence of the dead city itself will strengthen the power of the undead, and at the same time it will erode reality and bring huge disasters.

At this time in history, humans will send a large number of adventurers and elites into the dead city to close it.

Since humans have records, the mirage has only appeared three times, almost once every few hundred years.

But the most recent one was five hundred years ago, but the demons and the undead joined forces and almost ruled the world. Fortunately, the two broke up and were as hostile as fire and water, and the mirage was also closed, which saved the situation.

What surprised Lin was not the existence of this thing itself, but... it was more than two years earlier than expected.

Good guy, did I really destroy the operation of this world like this?

Such a big event, it was said to be advanced, and there was no sign at all?

The queen continued, "We are worried that the demons will tear up the contract in the chaos, and soon all three continents will be ready for war. Little Lin, you are likely to be sent to the City of the Dead by the church, so you must be careful."

Rin nodded. This was not very likely, but something that was certain.

As the newly canonized son of God, it is certain that he must set an example and gain merit, otherwise he will not be able to become the face of the church.

The strategy of the City of the Dead will definitely be led by the church and the three empires, so the person sent to take charge must have a high enough status, and Lin is just right.

With this calculation, his schedule is really full, and there is no time to delay.

"Let's stop here first...rest early, and be sure to pay attention to safety. The death-telling apostles who attacked you are still on the run."

"Understood."

Rin expressed gratitude for the Queen's concern, and did not ask more questions with a lot on his mind. After saying goodbye to Iris, he turned around and planned to leave.

He left the scene before the family had finished dealing with it. Now he had to go back to confirm the situation, and the most important thing was to communicate with Xiye.

"Brother-in-law, be more careful."

Eve is still more worried about Rin's safety. In the near future, Rin will be at the center of the whirlpool of the entire royal capital, which is also the most dangerous time.

For this reason, she specially dispatched a team of palace knights and magicians to guard Rin's safety.

Rin didn't refuse. This was not the time to show off.

Well, although the eldest princess is a bit perverted, she still knows the importance of doing things, so you don't have to worry too much about her causing trouble in the future.

This was the thought that popped into Rin's head when he saw the careful protection against him.

The journey went very smoothly and there were no accidents.

Back at the manor, with Xiye's personal protection, it was even safer than in the palace.

Rin knew that the death teller hadn't been caught yet, so he was still in danger, so it would never go wrong to be extra vigilant.

Xiye and Rin sat opposite each other at the desk in the bedroom. Rin told her what happened in the palace, and Xiye also reported what happened within the family after he left.

Without him as the person in charge, the family members did not stay too long. They just had dinner politely and left.

The dinner process was not very pleasant, after all, the person sitting at the main table was Yuye who took the place of his younger brother.

The sword master sat there, his aura fully turned on when facing strangers, and he ate the meal with trepidation, and finally everyone fled as if they had to leave.

Rin had known this would be the result. As long as no one continued to cause trouble, everything was still under control.

I went into the bathroom and took a shower. When I came out, the person sitting in front of the desk had been changed, from the Sword Master to the Demon King.

While wiping her head, Rin walked towards Qiyu and asked, "Where is Yuye?"

"Of course the stupid dog has gone back to his room. Is it possible that he is still spending the night here? Don't forget that you are siblings in this family."

"Tsk, I noticed that your tone of voice is very strange these days. You always feel rushed."

Rin curled her lips and said, "I shouldn't have offended you in any way, right?"

He had wanted to say it before, but Qiyu had always felt a bit awkward when speaking recently, and his tone was not very good anyway.

Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Really? Well, it's probably because she's pregnant that she has a bad temper. Warning, junior, don't make me angry, or I will beat your daughter now."

Rin rolled his eyes and was about to ask Qiyu if he had any troubles recently, but the Demon King took the initiative to change the subject.

"Let's talk about what happened today first? This devil can give you some advice."

"Huh? How did you know there was an accident?"

Thinking about it again, Qi Yu also had an intelligence network in the capital, which didn't seem strange, so he told what happened today in detail from beginning to end.

The fox just sat aside, playing with his long hair again and again, and listening attentively.

After Rin finished speaking, she suddenly spoke: "I knew Katarina originally. I met her when I was traveling in the capital as a witch, but my impression is slightly different from what you described. It's probably due to my experience. Some personality changes."

Qiyu touched his chin: "What's strange to me is when did she arrive in the royal capital."

"It should be today, when the whole city is under martial law."

Speaking of this, Rin's eyes lit up: "Fox, do you think she is the accomplice of the white-haired man, and what she is doing now is just to hide her from others... Uh, no."

Lin shook her head to herself: "The illegitimate son and Hu Lan who appeared could not be found and contacted in a moment. They should have been premeditated."

Qiyu stretched out his slender fingers, poked Rin's face, and said with a smile: "But we can't rule out a side purpose, right? Now it's clear that there is a connection between her and the Black Witch."

Rin grabbed her fingers and moved them away from his face. His eyes fell on Qi Yu's black silk stockings in a daze. After a moment, he asked, "When did the Black Witch appear?"

Qiyu changed his legs to a crossed position, which seemed to be a little tempting, and whispered into Rin's ear: "Specifically, he suddenly became the Demon King's apostle eighteen years ago."

The smell of lavender on her body made Rin feel peaceful and her brain was spinning rapidly.

"Eighteen years is not a short period of time. Katarina may have connected with the witch a long time ago. By the way, since she is a witch, she must have her own areas of expertise and what she is good at."

Qi Yu shook his head: "There is very little information about her, but I heard comments from the current Demon King's close ministers that she seems to be good at manipulating people's hearts and has talent in this area."

This is basically consistent with her behavior in the original work of seducing Xiye and brainwashing her.

Rin suddenly made a bold guess, but there was no evidence at all. It was just a wild guess, and there was no need to say it out loud.

Qiyu read the guess from his heart, and suddenly pressed against his chest, whispering: "Junior, tell me, is it possible that Katarina is the black witch?"

"Probably...no, there is no evidence to form a reasonable inference. Manipulating people's hearts may have nothing to do with mental spells."

Rin scratched his head and retorted, but his eyes looked at Qi Yu with relief.

As expected of a fox, even if he made random guesses, he could still think of going with him.

"Junior, let me raise some doubts. Mental shielding does not work like that. I have never heard of mental shielding being able to block inherent talents. She should have used a method to completely cover her aura, so a silly girl wouldn't be able to tell the difference. ”

Qiyu explained in a low voice: "The princess is too low-level, so it's normal that she doesn't know. She either has the top concealment skills of other professions, or she carries a strange old relic."

Rin suddenly realized and slapped his thigh: "The concealment of breath is strange! She is a high-level spiritual mage and she admits it openly, unless she has something shameful on her."

Qiyu yawned and lay in Lin's arms and asked lazily: "Let's not talk about her identity first. Junior, have you ever thought about what means would be used if someone wanted to deal with you?"

"Uh, mental control, let me give up the title in front of you? This method is too stupid and easy to be exposed afterwards. Obviously, it's impossible. Let me commit suicide. It's a pity that no one in this world can kill me, including myself."

Qiyu looked at his suddenly smug expression and laughed for a while.

There was a smile in his eyes, but his tone was very gloomy.

"If it were me, knowing that you are protected by the Queen and the Church, and wanting to take things from you, I would have to make you abandon these things."

Rin was stunned, and his mind turned, and he seemed to have some ideas, but he couldn't connect them for a while.

"There are many ways to do this, such as throwing dirty water, making you commit crimes, huge scandals, etc. In short, you have to seek the protection of the Church, and you can't come back."

Qiyu is not a real god, who can predict everything. He just put himself in the shoes of others and explained some possible tricks to remind Rin in this regard.

After listening to what she said, the line in Rin's head suddenly connected, and he sat in silence for a long time without saying a word.

Until the bored Qiyu suddenly patted him.

"There is movement!"

"Ah? What movement?!"

"That white-haired man, there is movement, leaving the residence, I'll go and see."

After Qiyu finished speaking, he opened the space and went in, and there was no figure, leaving Rin impatiently thinking about it.

As he thought about it, his impatience slowly faded, his optimism took over, his worries were forgotten, and his upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Rin threw himself on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

Xiye woke him up early the next morning.

After Rin woke up, he did not see Qiyu. He was wondering, and his eyes swept over to the extra piece of paper on the desk, and he hurried over.

Half of the paper was pressed by the book, and when he picked it up, it was Qiyu's handwriting.

She found that the person who contacted the white-haired man was most likely the Black Witch. In order to prevent the other party from discovering, and to further find out whether there were any accomplices, Qiyu could only follow from a distance and observe carefully with the magic eye.

The reason for leaving a line of words was to let Rin not worry.

The Demon King who never ran around at home actually learned to take care of his family and knew to report safety!

Chapter 45 Evaluation of Succubus Customs

Although it is a good thing for the Demon King to take care of his family, but... if Qiyu is not there, the sense of security like a rock fortress has declined a lot.

Uh, I think I just said that the Sword Saint can also give a strong sense of security... That's naturally when you don't encounter the witch.

Xiye is strong, but this kind of pervasive mental magic is really hard to deal with.

Looking at the original work, although the witch can't directly control the mind, she can still partially erode Xiye's consciousness, otherwise she can't take Xiye under her command.
