Chapter 255 Paladin 19
"It is an honor to receive such praise from you."
A smiling voice sounded behind the Lava Lord, causing her expression to change instantly: "Your Majesty."
Lucius also bowed his head, showing his respect for the king of the demon realm.
But just then, he saw another pair of shoes next to the Demon King.
Those were shoes that had never appeared in the Demon Realm before, yet were incredibly familiar to him.
He suddenly looked up and saw a person wearing a cloak standing next to the Demon King.
Her face was hidden in the darkness, making it impossible to discern her features, but the greatsword in her hand made him instantly recognize her.
“Althorpe Norma.” He managed to utter the words with difficulty, his azure eyes filled with shock.
"I'm so glad that Your Excellency recognizes me."
A familiar voice came from beneath the cloak, and for a moment Lucius almost felt as if he were talking to Celeos.
Ling Yi removed the hood of her cloak, revealing a rosy, healthy face and long, jet-black hair.
Lucius's pupils constricted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "Your hair?"
Because of the demon realm, black hair is considered an ominous symbol in the human world, representing the beginning of humanity's fall, as recorded in the Bible.
How could Elsop, a paladin of light, have become like this?
Ling Yi touched her black hair, not caring much: "It's nothing, Your Highness should know why I came to see you."
How could Lucius not know?
But he couldn't go back with Elthorpe, and besides...
He sneered, "Your hair color, can you ever go back to the way it was?"
He, as the Son of God, knew all too well how depraved and corrupt the Papacy was.
How could the people there allow a fallen paladin to exist?
Elshorp will definitely be sent to the gallows!
“That’s none of the Holy Son’s concern.” Ling Yi clearly noticed that Lucius’s composure had crumbled the moment she appeared.
Otherwise, this Holy Prince, who painstakingly escaped to the Demon Realm but was still found, would not have abandoned his years of upbringing and become as sharp-tongued and mean as a scoundrel.
“I will respect your wishes and will not force you to go back.” Seeing that Lucius was about to speak again, Ling Yi raised her hand and gently pressed him down: “Don’t say anything more, or you might die.”
The tyrant beside her had been unhappy with Lucius's disrespect for a long time, and she vowed that if Lucius uttered another word of nonsense, she would become his lover with the Lava Lord today.
Ling Yi still had a use for the couple and didn't want them to die so soon.
Lucius, whose emotions were in turmoil, also noticed that Celeos was looking at him with a very unfriendly gaze, his purple pupils had turned cold.
His turbulent emotions faltered, and his voice lowered: "Okay, I'm calming down. What do you want me to do?"
Even with the Demon King's assistance, he would not return to that place that made him feel so oppressed and disgusted, unless Elthorpe wanted to take his corpse away.
"I'd like a copy of your statement." Ling Yi took out the recording crystal and said with a smile, "That way, I can report back to the Pope."
"Is that all?" Lucius asked, taken aback.
"Otherwise what?" Ling Yi asked in surprise. "You don't think I have any loyalty to the Holy See and would be willing to shed my blood for it, do you?"
"Don't be silly, the current Vatican doesn't have that kind of organization."
Lucius paused again, then said with difficulty, "I thought you were that kind of person."
These adopted orphans are the absolute backbone of the Papacy and the root of its enduring strength.
Are even the roots starting to rot now?
"Thank you for your appreciation," Ling Yi said playfully, then raised the crystal to take a picture.
As a former expert in interrogation, she easily extracted Lucius's thoughts and feelings, and clearly understood the reasons why he left the Papacy.
Lucius's emotions gradually calmed down during the questioning, and only after the image crystal dimmed did he say, "It's useless for you to take these back. The Holy See won't keep a useless paladin, you should know that..."
Ling Yi stopped him from rambling on: "That's enough. Now it's my business. I will make sure the Holy See takes me seriously."
She paused, then smiled and glanced between Lucius and the Lava Lord: "Well then, good luck to you both."
"Gone?" A gentle breeze blew across the ground, and after a long while, the Lava Lord asked cautiously.
Lucius nodded with a complicated expression: "Let's go."
"Chesia, do you know what their relationship is?"
He was very curious about what kind of entanglement the Demon King, who had been turned into a terror in the Demon Realm, had with the outsider from the human world.
"You're asking me?" The Lava Lord was even more shocked than him: "How could I possibly know?"
How could His Majesty possibly have any relationship with any living being other than food?
Hahaha……
She suddenly looked up at the huge, menacing shadow rising from the depths of the demon realm.
The shadow swept across the spatial rift in the demon realm and headed outwards.
The long-lived Lava Lord had witnessed this scene once before, when the former Demon King led them on their expedition from the Demon Realm.
The Demon King is the beloved of the Demon Realm. When he leaves the Demon Realm, a great phenomenon will rise in the Demon Realm to announce the King's temporary departure.
But why did Wang leave?
Will one person conquer the human realm alone?
Although it seems a bit absurd, it's not impossible.
There is no difference between humans and demons; once they are killed enough times, they will all become obedient.
The Lava Lord was lost in thought, but his body honestly flew towards the nearest spatial rift.
If Your Majesty really intends to invade the human realm, then wouldn't that be...?
The moment the intruder stepped into the spatial rift, a cold, purple eye opened, silently watching the intruder.
In an instant, the Lava Lord sensed the danger of his soul dissipating and retreated from the spatial rift like a fleeing rabbit.
At the same time, countless demons outside the spatial rifts were so intimidated by this eye that they retreated far away.
"Strange, why won't His Majesty allow us to travel to the mortal realm?"
In the past, His Majesty has never interfered with the Demon Realm, so why now...?
"Perhaps he didn't want to be disturbed." Lucius said with a complicated expression, looking at the pair of giant eyes that were slowly closing.
"Is there anything we don't want to disturb?" the Lava Lord asked, puzzled. "We won't disturb His Majesty's meal."
"Chesia, when I'm with you, would you want your subordinates to bother you?" Lucius looked at this demon who had lived for a long time but seemed somewhat naive.
The Lava Lord was taken aback: "Of course I don't want to, but how can that be the same?"
Lucius was her lover, and she naturally longed for some time alone together, but how could His Majesty possibly be with a human paladin...
"Haha, it can't be true, can it?" In just a few words, the Lava Lord's voice grew louder and louder, until it even cracked a little.
Lucius chuckled. "Why not? Cheshire, anything is possible in this world."
