Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 148 The Garden of Suffering! Isn’t it called a game console? (-in-)

Li Pu could not confirm the Duke's identity now, but he was very concerned about what the Duke asked him to do next.

He was worried that the Duke's real plan was to put himself on the altar.

Li Pu asked: "Besides the Knights, do you also need me to do something?"

How could the Duke understand Li Pu's brain circuit?

He solemnly said: "Nip, there is one thing that only you can do - or in other words, I need Katerina's help. In fact, if it is not the Kingdom of Heaven."

Obviously, the Duke didn't want to find Li Pu at all, but wanted to find Katerina.

In his eyes, his daughter is much more reliable and trustworthy than Li Pu.

Unfortunately, there was a deep gap between her and him, so he did not go to Katerina directly, but went through Li Pu.

The Duke knew that with his daughter's strength, even if Dante came in person, it would be difficult to snatch the sacred object from her hands.

Li Pu breathed a sigh of relief.

'Yes, in everyone's eyes, I am just a spokesperson for the Supreme God. '

'There are many people more suitable to be sacrificed than me. Therefore I am safe. '

'Besides, with Katerina as my bodyguard, can I still be kidnapped? '

'It's impossible for Katerina to be with the cultists, right? '

At this time, the Duke noticed that Li Pu was distracted: "Nip, are you listening?"

"Sorry, I was distracted. What did I miss?"

The Duke said again: "I said, if the troops of the Kingdom of Heaven did not need Ms. Sirna to lead the way in the fog, I would have entrusted this matter to Ms. Sirna."

Li Pu frowned slightly.

According to the history that Zabu saw, as long as Sirna joined the angel army of the gods, she would definitely die - most likely she would be stabbed in the back by the gods.

"Please tell me."

"You should have heard about the sacred object in the violet. It protects the violet, but at the same time, it is also the key to awakening the 'Saint'."

"It has always been a secret as to where it is hidden. I once hid it in a secret room in the Chicheng Monastery."

Speaking of this, the Duke's eyes became a little haggard: "But in fact, Elizabeth has moved it to another place under my secret instructions."

[You can see from the Duke's eyes that things are far from simple. 】

【This is indeed the case. 】

[Elizabeth is the person whom the Duke trusts most. The Duke believes that she will become like Luna in the future under the influence of the Virgin. 】

[She will indeed do the same. But a bad father always has a way to use his sweet words to make his bad daughter do bad things. 】

The Duke did not say that Elizabeth had transferred the things under Dante's instructions, but took the matter into his own hands.

This made Li Pu secretly sigh.

This kid is really annoying.

While Li Pu was thinking, the Duke had already stood up and took out something from the bookshelf.

It was a structural diagram of a castle.

He outlined the location on it with a pen, and then said to Li Pu: "The real thing has been placed in the 'secret garden in the castle' by Elizabeth."

"It was originally an experimental field for growing bitter fern, and Elizabeth has always been responsible for taking care of it."

"So, no one knows except Dan. Except me and Elizabeth. Therefore, the garden is more reliable than the secret room of the Abbey of the Abbey."

Li Pu understood.

There are three people who know the garden. Elizabeth, Dante and the Duke.

After Dante instigated his daughter to do bad things last night, he betrayed his daughter and told the matter to the Duke.

The Duke continued: "Originally, I was very relieved about this garden. But after I found that I could not trust anyone, I worried that the secret of the garden had been leaked."

According to the meaning of the Duke's words, it seems that he no longer trusts Elizabeth.

What is somewhat funny is that Li Pu has an inexplicable trust in Elizabeth.

In other words, Li Pu felt that this mentally ill person would not tell others about the sacred objects because she wanted to monopolize the paradise of madness.

"The things need to be transferred to Katerina as soon as possible and kept by her." The Duke said: "I believe that even if Dante comes in person, he may not be able to take the sacred objects from her hands."

Li Pu agreed with the Duke's words.

Because, regardless of whether Elizabeth will reveal the secret, there are already three people who know the secret - Elizabeth, the Duke, and Dante.

There are already too many people who know the secret.

Secrets don't stay hidden forever.

It is safest to move the sacred object to a place where others cannot reach it as soon as possible.

Katerina is undoubtedly the best custodian.

Although this guy is unreliable, she will never lose her Rubik's Cube.

Because the 'Rubik's Cube' is an overlapping area that has been 'organized' by Katerina!

No one can touch the Rubik's Cube except herself and her!

Therefore, as long as the sacred object is hidden in her Rubik's Cube, no one can take away the sacred object.

As long as this thing is in hand, the cultists will not even think about opening the door!

No matter who the Duke in front of him is, he must get this thing.

Moreover, Dante should also know that if he and him work together, the cult will definitely be eradicated.

There was no need for Him to betray Himself and make Himself a sacrifice at this time.

"The Hidden Garden is a special place." The Duke said: "Strictly speaking, it is an inner world. Only at a specific time can the main world overlap, and only at this time can the key be used to open its door. .”

According to the Duke, the period between nine o'clock and early morning tonight is a time when the door can be opened.

"After you get it, keep it well. At the critical moment, you would rather destroy it than fall into the hands of a third person."

As he said that, the Duke dug into his arms and looked for the key. After a moment, his face looked a little embarrassed.

"I forgot that when Elizabeth dropped the holy relic last night, I also gave her the key - take her with you, she is familiar with it."

Hearing this, Li Pu looked a little strange. Because according to the normal process of the paradise line, the Duke should let himself and Hilna go to the secret garden.

Then he and the goddess Hilna will witness the awakening of 'Yeshathemis'.

In Hell Line, it's Elizabeth and herself holding handcuffs and going somewhere.

Then, witness the awakening of the 'Saint' together.

But now, the fate lines are all messed up!

Sirna formed a team alone.

He formed a team with Katerina and Elizabeth.

'It's okay to do this for the Duke, but there's something I have to confirm. '

Li Pu planned to confirm the Duke's identity.

"Your Excellency, Katerina and I are indeed people who can be absolutely trusted by you and Dante." Li Pu narrowed his eyes and said: "But I still lack some trust in you - unless you do something for me thing."

"You said."

Li Pu said word by word: "Find a way to let the devils prevent Sirna from meeting the gods."

"Why?" The Duke frowned, and then it suddenly dawned on him - Li Pu suspected that Sirna had fallen into the trap of the cultists.

Dante and Hilna are both people who can possibly solve the crisis of the Saint. For the cultists who hope that the real saint will awaken, they are all targets that must be eliminated.

After a pause, the Duke said: "Nip, your request is very difficult for me. I don't like to contact the devil king - whether it is asking him for help or the price paid after asking for help, it is very difficult. Make it acceptable.”

"But fortunately, you no longer need me to fulfill your wish."

The Duke said to Li Pu: "Nip, in fact, Sirna may not be able to meet the gods at the designated place. Because there is intelligence that the hell troops will arrive at the rendezvous point first.

This army can't defeat the angel army, but those devils are special. They will bring the mist to devour the angelic army. The fog will also send the angel army deeper into the fog. "

"Therefore, by the time Sirna arrived at the rendezvous point, the angel army was no longer there."

The Duke's answer was watertight: "There have always been Dante's spies in the Angel Army. However, the Demon King did not want to get involved in this matter before, so he never took action against the Angel Army."

"But I think you interfered and made Dante change his mind - the hell army that left with the mist set out in the morning."

'In the morning, it is the time when the evil servants are signed by Asabron. '

[Part of Absalom's consciousness is in Saron's body, but the main body is in hell. 】

[Therefore, although he does not know what incarnations Dante has in the human world, he can often see the demon of the King of Anger in hell. 】

[After he met with the evil servants, he devoured them - the servants would pass through the body of the god of nightmares, fall into hell, and then be personally given to him by the body of Absalon. Dante. 】

[So, the Duke has not come into contact with the insane servants. 】

[You can't use the express delivery to determine the Duke's true identity. 】

[Stop guessing. That devil king is so cunning. Not only his subordinates, but even Elizabeth doesn't even know what kind of face her father has. So much so that they often identify the wrong devil. 】

[So, even the daughter can’t tell who her father is, let alone the son-in-law? 】

"Then let me change the question." If he was not sure about his father-in-law's identity, Li Pu did not dare to cooperate: "What is in the things you threw?"

Li Pu remembered something mentioned in the narration - a game console.

In Inferno , Elizabeth will receive a game console from Dante.

Therefore, if there was a game console among the things the Duke threw last night, his identity would be obvious.

The Duke sighed and said: "A key, a pair of shackles, a trophy seized from the devils. There seems to be a notebook that I recorded during my adventures."

"'A trophy' seized from the devils?" Li Pu raised his eyebrows: "Is it something to play with?"

"Nip, I haven't done much research on devils' things. I don't understand this kind of thing at all. But I guess it should be a kind of toy."

My father-in-law said helplessly: "Its material is very precious, and it seems to have the highest divinity. Therefore, I specially collected it."

Li Pu's face looked a little ugly - this guy's mouth was too strict.

Li Pu decided to change the question and find out the Duke's identity.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "If I guessed correctly - is that thing a game console?"

"Nip, although I don't understand very well." My father-in-law couldn't hold it back anymore and corrected him: "But PlayStation 5 is not a game console!"

Li Pu: "."

Seeing Li Pu looking at him with strange eyes, the Duke hurriedly explained.

"Nip, you seem to have misunderstood something - this term was told to me by Dante. As the lord of Violet, and as the guardian of the eastern border of the human kingdom, I must do some research on the devils."

"Old man, I'll wipe your ass clean."

Li Pu stood up and interrupted his father-in-law. He made a Chinese hand gesture: "Farewell, no need to send it off."

Father-in-law: "."

When he reached the door, Li Pu suddenly turned around.

"I already know why Dante is afraid of being sacrificed - this body of his can't walk."

"If I am kidnapped, I will betray Him and let Him accompany me to the altar!"

Father-in-law: "."

After going out, Li Pu looked at the castle structure diagram in his hand, and then headed towards a suspected guest room area.

'The matter of the sacred objects cannot be postponed. I don't know where Elizabeth and Katerina are now. '

There are very few servants in the castle, and the corridors are very deserted.

If it weren't for the castle being very, very clean, Li Pu would have thought that no one lived in the castle.

After walking through this corridor, Li Pu saw some people.

But not as servants, but as squires or knights of the lords. But fortunately, they have lived in the castle for a while and have a certain understanding of the situation in the castle.

Several knights recognized Li Pu.

——"Sir, no one has lived in the 'upper floors' of the castle for a long time. Many people basically live underground - it's autumn, the sun can't shine in the fog, and it's very cold."

——"It's not just the cold, the fog curses everything on the earth, but it is extremely tolerant of everything under the earth. So living underground is much better than living on the ground."

——"Maybe it's because there are a lot of 'fire ferns' growing in the 'Violet Sewer'. These plants from the angry hell bring poison and curse, but also bring warmth and law."

——"Sir, only those of us who follow you and those who enter the castle later will choose an empty room to live in the above-ground area of ​​the castle. Our bodies are stronger and we often take the Holy Communion, so we are suitable to live normally in the above-ground area. . In addition, this also facilitates our reinforcement and patrol of the above-ground areas of the castle fortress."

Li Pu suddenly understood.

No wonder I didn’t see many residents on the road when I entered the city today. It turns out that most people live underground.

As for the toxins and curses of hell, they are due to regular consumption of various dark cuisines of hell. These things with the laws of hell make people more and more adaptable to the environment of hell.

In addition, people living on the ground will regularly clean up the hell plants in the living area, and the plants basically grow outside the living area. Therefore, the effects of poisons and curses on the residents are not that great.

'It seems that Dante, that guy, has already started to prepare for the "Violet People's Migration to Hell". '

Li Pu thought in his mind: 'This guy is indeed not in the same group as the cultists, but he will give up the saint's affairs at any time and choose the refuge. '

'Hey, it's so difficult without a reliable teammate. '

Since the underground area of ​​the castle was basically full, and the nuns did not plan to return to the monastery, they strongly requested to live in the castle with Li Pu. So they and Katerina stayed in a guest room on a certain floor of the castle.

"After passing through this corridor, just walk up two floors, sir."

After Li Pu asked for directions, he declined everyone's offer to lead the way and headed towards the area where Katerina and others were.

On the way, Li Pu looked at the darkening sky outside the window and said to himself: "The fog is getting thicker. It's almost dark before it's afternoon." '

At this time, Li Pu noticed frost on the wall, and then suddenly felt a little cold.

[God doesn’t feel cold at all, but after you feel that you are cold, you start to feel cold. 】

'I could still get sunshine just now, but now I can't and it's a bit cold. "
