Use foreign lands to conquer the whole of Europe

Five days later, on the top floor of Shutward Palace.

After washing carefully and taking a short rest, Sean and Angie responded to the summons and went to this familiar hall.

The off-white stone walls exuded a warm luster, and the surrounding paintings, carpets, and furniture were the same as before they set off. The atmosphere of the entire hall seemed both warm and grand.

A burning fireplace chases away the early winter chill.In this hall, Angie stood in the center, looking at the black-haired woman sitting at the far end of the hall.

"How did you get yourself into this state? Even Sean is the same."

Slade spoke naturally, with a slight smile on his face.

She seemed to be in a good mood and was not much surprised by the changes in Angie and Sean's appearance. Her eyes only stayed on Angie for a long time, as if she was carefully looking at her new image.

Suppressing all the complicated emotions in her heart, Anji smiled naturally and spoke respectfully:
"Back to Lord Slade: We encountered more and more complicated things when we went out this time, so it became like this."

In fact, not only did she have a lot of things to do when she went out, but something ridiculous happened when she came back - she changed her appearance and was stopped by the guard at the castle gate for questioning.

Those guards were just ordinary soldiers.They didn't dare to let her in directly, but they also didn't dare not to let her in - because the pair of horns on Angie's head and the golden eyes were extraordinary, and she was fearless at first glance.Once you make her angry, you may lose your life...

If these guards hadn't recognized Sean, she would have had to call other knights to vouch for her before she could get in smoothly...

"Okay, okay. So, what strange things did you encounter when you went out this time? Tell me."

Saying this, Slade finally cheered up.

She asked Sean and Angie to sit and chat on the sofa over there, while she walked over slowly, watching them sit on the sofa on the same side, then walked to stand in front of Angie.

He looked at Angie expressionlessly for a while. Suddenly, Slade took action without warning, tightly grasping the pair of slender black horns on Angie's head, and when she was at a loss, he put his face up to her and asked. She said:
"Did you really grow this horn of yours?"

"……………ah?"

Looking at Slade who suddenly came up to him, Angie fell into a rare state of confusion.

Feeling that the other party was not hostile, she sat on the sofa honestly, letting her grab her corners and "seem" to fiddle with something on the corners.

She didn't have eyes on the top of her head, so she couldn't see what Slade was doing, but at the same time, Sean sitting next to her saw everything clearly, and his eyes widened in shock.

I saw Slade using her sharp black claws to scratch back and forth on Angie's pair of rough textured horns, making a clicking sound while carefully observing the pair of slightly bent horns backwards. While muttering with a strange expression:

"It's so long and thin, it looks like a goat's horn..."

Hearing this, Anji couldn't help but retorted: "It should be dragon horns, right?"

"Have you ever seen a dragon—?"

The tone of his voice was strangely prolonged. Slade tilted his head and looked at Anji with a look that looked like a fool. This made the corner of her mouth twitch slightly, and she answered helplessly and truthfully:
"never seen it."

"That's it - it's just goat horns, black goat horns."

Saying this in a tone that could not be argued, Slade took a few steps back, sat on the sofa behind him, crossed his chest and crossed his legs, looking at the two people in front of him leisurely and said:
"Tell me, what happened to you?"

Seeing that she finally got to the point, Angie relaxed slightly and started from "Leaving Glossk and meeting fan leaves and the ghost of a girl in the flower field."

At first, Slade's expression was very relaxed, and he occasionally teased her and said she was so lucky.

But then, when Angie said that he met a woman with gray skin and many hands on the empty island, Slade suddenly changed his expression and stood up with a swish:
"What did you say? Did you meet Alyssa?"

"I don't know her name, so I can only describe to you what she looks like and how she behaves."

This was the first time Angie had seen Slade look so shocked.

Then, she told Slade how she felt severe pain all over her body when she heard the man's voice, entered a strange dark blue space, and finally woke up suddenly.

Of course, she didn't mention that the other party mistook her for Tilusa, or even "came here specifically to find her" - her intuition told her that these things would have some deep connection with her, and if it wasn't necessary , she naturally wouldn’t say it.

Even if Slade might know this Tilusa, so what?Who can guarantee whether her relationship with this person is good or bad?Saying it hastily will only increase the risk.

Hearing her words, Slade remained silent with a solemn expression.After a long time, she sat down again, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Anji with a complicated expression:
"It's a shame she can just let you go... This is really 'old monster meets little monster'."

"So... do you know what that sea-like space is?"

Pretending that she didn't know that it was the soul space, Angie specially brought this matter out alone and asked Slade again. Then she saw the latter glance to the side and said calmly:

"It's probably somewhere deep in your soul. This thing is different for everyone. Few people can actually get there, or few people can come out with the memory of 'getting there'... ...It doesn’t matter, being able to do this only means that you are indeed ‘special’, I don’t know much about other things.”

Slade's explanation was not much different from Charles's.She nodded silently thoughtfully, and then asked tentatively:

"Then...have you ever entered your soul space?"

"..."

After staring at Angie in silence for a while, Slade suddenly became impatient and waved his hand: "I've been in. Let's continue."

"it is good."

Responding obediently, Angie gathered her thoughts and told Slade everything that happened in Knowlson Village.

However, the matter of the five eyes was secretly "ignored" by her - because she wanted to leave some trump cards for herself.

After telling these long stories, she took out the small plaster form of Elena from her pocket, showed it to Slade, and asked: "She is like this now, what should I do to make her change?" How about returning to human form?"

"Isn't it strange that you have such an idea - why do you think this thing can turn back into a human?"

Saying something disgusting, Slade still took Elena from her hand and placed her on his palm, wanting to observe her more.

However, this gray mud was scurrying around in her hands, completely lacking the cuteness it had when it was in Anji's hands. This made her frown and sneer in displeasure:
"Maybe this thing is looking for you."

As she said that, she threw it back to Anji. She saw it fall on Anji's chest with a "snap" and turned into flat mud. Then it quickly gathered together and restored its original "small triangular" shape. appearance.

Angie couldn't help but feel a little distressed when she saw Slade throwing Elena around.Putting Elena into the pocket in front of her again, she looked up at Slade and found that he was looking at her with a strange expression, and even narrowed his eyes:

"I really suspect that there is something wrong with your brain. Why do you even protect such a thing with such care? It's really strange that a person like you can come out alive from that hellish place."

"So...you've been there too?"

Catching the dissatisfaction in Slade's tone, Angie tentatively asked this question, and immediately saw Slade sneer:
"Heh, I just said there was something wrong with your brain, and you became smarter?"

"It's nothing. My cleverness is nothing in front of you." Anji said humbly, but there was inevitably a bit of coldness and alienation in her voice.She knew that Slade was admitting in disguise that she had been to Nolson Village - she was basically the one who kidnapped Iselin and Elena and used them and their parents in order to leave Nolson Village.

Although this was in line with Slade's character, Angie was still a little concerned about this matter, so she couldn't help but say such words in a false way.

"Stop being polite, it's disgusting."

As if he noticed something was wrong with Angie's tone, Slade suddenly became impatient.

Then, she looked at Angie displeased and asked her another question: "Why can you eat that sun? That sun was summoned by Karima and the others. After all, it should go to them." That’s right, why did I come to you?”

"I don't know." Angie looked at her and replied calmly.

After carefully studying her expression for a while, Slade spoke again: "Well, you really don't know - do you think the God of Chaos they are talking about, Gene Vader Soto, exists?"

"I'm not sure."

As they asked and answered, their tone was so ordinary, but Anji's tone was obviously more calm than before, and Sean could clearly feel that she seemed to be in a bad mood now.

Logically speaking, her behavior was completely disrespectful to the lord.But for some reason, Slade didn't point this out, he just continued to look at her and asked:
"There must be other changes on your body, right? Apart from your horns and appearance."

"I seem to be able to use energy similar to that of the black sun, but I'm not sure what its specific ability is."

"Oh?"

Narrowing his eyes slightly with interest, Slade looked at her with a half-smile, observing her expression carefully: "Want me to get you some test products?"

"What is a test product?" Anji had a bad feeling.

"people."

"I don't need it." Angie rejected her calmly.

Slade's face immediately darkened.

At this moment, extremely heavy pressure fell on Anji.The air around her seemed to have stopped flowing and turned into something solid, making it impossible for her to breathe. She could only feel that the air in her lungs was dissipating little by little.

The dark murderous intent floated and spread around Slade, squirming as if it had turned into substance.Sitting opposite her, Angie saw this clearly, but she didn't have any timidity in her heart. She just wanted to ask the other party, "Forget about the people in Norson Village, why can she be so indifferent to the people in Glosk?"

However, before speaking, she thought of the promises she made to Charles, so she swallowed back these words and dissatisfaction, and looked at the woman in front of her quietly.

Sitting next to her, Sean also noticed this terrible change.However, he was not targeted by Slade and was not greatly affected. Seeing that Anji had no intention of giving in, Dangjie knelt down on one knee to Slade and begged anxiously:
"Lord Slade, Angie didn't mean to offend you—"

"Ha ha……"

A weird, deep laugh came from Slade's throat.Sean's words were interrupted and his heart sank. But at this moment, Angie's body suddenly lightened up. At the same time, Sean and Sean were surprised to see Slade regaining his composure.

The black murderous intention disappeared instantly, and the pressure on his body disappeared.Everything around him returned to normal, but the man who had just released his murderous intent just snorted disdainfully at Anji, then lazily leaned back on the sofa, squinted at Sean, and continued what he said before. asked:
"She is very special, and I am used to it. But why can you also absorb the energy of the God of Chaos? Why can you recover your memory so quickly in Norson Village, even faster than this little girl? ?”

"I...report to Lord Slade...that I don't know."

Sean lowered his head in embarrassment.Under Slade's sharp gaze, he felt the pressure increase dramatically, and he couldn't think of an answer. He could only speak these words with difficulty in the most respectful tone.

"Sit back, what does it look like?"

Slade said with some disgust. Seeing Sean say "yes" and then sit next to Angie again, he couldn't help but sneered and teased Angie, who had been silent for a long time:
"You two have a good relationship? In order to protect you, even Sean dared to stand in front of me and speak."

Upon hearing this, Sean bit his lip in embarrassment and looked down at the ground silently, but Angie remained calm, looking at Slade and said:
"Sean's personality is relatively simple and introverted, but this does not mean that he is timid - on the contrary, he is braver than most people. He and I are similar in age, and we are comrades who went out together twice. He will help me He speaks normally."

"Haha, you explained it in detail enough."

As if he thought of something, Slade chuckled twice and his expression softened.

But soon, she stopped smiling, sat up straight, and analyzed Anji seriously:

"First of all, you were able to come out of that place largely because of luck - your weird sword did not lose its memory, and you happened to be assigned to important positions in the church. You and Sean also quickly recovered their memories. So we can catch up with the last days.

"Secondly, Alyssa probably paid a lot of money to intervene in Norson Village this time - she was just a gatekeeper, and bringing so many people in this time must have consumed most of her strength. In the end, she even 'forcibly possessed Iselin' to buy you time... These things should have been done by her to stop this sacrifice ceremony. From this point of view, she must have had the urge to stop Karima And Cesar gained strength' reason."

Seeing Anji nodding her head in agreement without any surprise or objection, she couldn't help showing a trace of satisfaction on her face and her tone became softer:
"You must have grown a lot, right? You and Sean."

"Ah."

Angie nodded obediently, wondering why Slade was so good-tempered today. At the same time, he looked into her eyes and reported truthfully:
"My current resistance to curses is 137, and Sean's is 97."

At this moment, Slade was in a rare daze. He opened his eyes slightly and asked her again: "How much?"

"I'm 137, Sean is 97."

silence.

There were only three people in the hall, and there was a stiff silence after Anji reported the count for the second time.

During this period, Slade kept looking at Angie in disbelief, which made her glance away sheepishly and smile awkwardly but politely.

Just when she was thinking, "What is Slade thinking about?", suddenly, Slade came to her without any warning, grabbed the corners of her head, put it in front of her face, and used a He asked with gritted teeth:

"Why on earth can you jump from 70 to 137?!!"

Slade's reaction was much greater than she expected.

At this time, Anji finally seemed to realize that "I seemed to have misjudged the exaggeration of this matter" and explained in a panic.
"I do not know either?"

Slade's sudden behavior also startled Sean.While Angie was explaining, he suddenly recovered from the shock and anxiously explained to Slade:
"Master Slade, Angie probably absorbed that sun——"

"To shut up!!"

Interrupting him directly, Slade forcefully pulled back the corners of Angie's head, forcing her to raise her head and look at him. Just when he was about to ask her a few more words, he saw her looking at him with tears in her eyes, and said intermittently. He whispered:

"It hurts...the horn...is about to break..."

At this moment, Slade suddenly calmed down.

She slowly let go of Anji's corners, looked at him with a stiff face and rubbed his head in pain, then looked at Sean next to her and ordered to him:
"Go down, I have something to talk to her alone."
