Your Majesty, drink the medicine quickly

Chapter 157 Please stop talking! Les Miserables! (-in-)

The entire Violet Castle is a zigzag structure.

The guest room of Li Pu and others is in the upper left corner of the castle fortress, and the hall at noon is called the Violet Hall. On the first floor of the castle front.

The distance between the two locations is quite far.

The entire castle can accommodate thousands of soldiers, and it can be said to be a small inner city. Therefore, there are many places to cook and eat in the fortress.

But tonight the Duke will entertain the envoys and nobles at the Violet Hall, so Li Pu and others have to go there.

On the way, Li Pu asked Katerina: "Where are Irene and the others?"

"I saw them when I came to find you."

Katerina said expressionlessly: "They originally planned to come over to see their 'Archangel', so they dressed up very formally."

"But I felt that the time they visited you was a bit inappropriate. So I sent them away."

Katerina looked at her sister and fiancé and said angrily: "After all, I know you are busy."

Against the background of the night mist, the streets look like rivers of stars passing through the clouds.

【As long as you play well, your wife's anger will disappear. 】

Hell is the prison of devils.

Because the tides of the Styx cannot travel through the mist.

Elizabeth said: "But there is no difference between planting and not planting. The nobles and soldiers eat the stored grain, and the common people can't eat anything."

'do not talk! Please stop talking! '

Li Pu covered his eyes in pain, feeling extremely regretful.

'The world that Mary and little Amy foresaw has finally arrived.'

After thinking for a while, Li Pu asked: "Are there still normal crops growing now?"

The fog in the city was very light tonight. Standing on the outer bridge, Li Pu saw stars twinkling fluorescently in the hazy city.

Even though she had seen her sister's first story with Li Pu many times in the future, she was still furious.

As for the civilians—the Holy Communion (goat dung eggs) was not even enough to distribute to the troops, so the civilians naturally had no food to eat.

The thought of having to settle accounts with 'Miss Mold' at night made him feel bad.

They prefer human things. Including sweet, living people with souls. Also includes other things.

In addition, the law of decay in the mist is abnormal, so these stored grains will not go bad if left for decades. Therefore, the troops have food to eat.

There are many granaries in the Violet Fortress and some surrounding acropolis.

They don't like it there, and they don't like the hell in the prison.

Li Pu asked about the whole world. But Elizabeth only focused on violets.

Obviously, Katerina is still very angry about the good things she secretly did with her sister.

These granaries were originally prepared for the military and civilians of the entire Violet Territory. But now it is only supplied to the army and nobles.

Elizabeth and Li Pu both coughed in embarrassment and did not dare to say a word.

This is where she grew up.

In a few words, the three people had already gone up and down several spiral stone stairs and arrived at an outer bridge.

[However, you are still very happy - the punishment from the evil wife is to stuff you into her body and roll around. 】

The hungrier you are, the more you want to eat, the more you want to eat meat. But eating it doesn't relieve the pain and only makes people hungrier.

As Eileen said, after the Mist Era, there is no difference between the living and the dead.

[God is not cold, but after you feel the weather is cold, you start to feel cold. 】

Walking on this outer bridge, the cold wind blew by at night, and the three of them tightened their cloaks in unison.

"It grew by itself." Elizabeth said: "Normal plants are almost extinct in the fog. Now the only thing that can grow on the ground is this kind of ghost thing."

Death, decay, digestion, and growth are all abnormal here, so people will not die of hunger.

But so far, no Violet has starved to death.

Li Pu asked Elizabeth: "Did you plant these ferns specially?"

It was the streets of the Violet City, and there were many fluorescent ferns growing on the streets.

Katerina gave Li Pu a look - I'll settle the score with you again tonight!

[If you don’t take off your pants in the end, Katerina will probably praise you and then settle the score with your sister alone. 】

What made her even more angry was that every time, the plot of the 'first time' story between Li Pu and his sister was different.

But people still feel hungry and feel pain.

"Ahem, sister, let's take a shortcut and don't keep everyone waiting." Elizabeth changed the subject.

It seems that even the devil doesn't like this kind of stuff.

But this spring, fog has swallowed up the last remaining farmland in Violet Territory.

This feeling can drive people crazy and do lots of crazy things.

"There should be some mushrooms growing in the underground area of ​​Violet City."

I don’t know if the ‘you’ in Li Pu’s mouth refers to the devils or the violet people.

Originally, the devils could still see some normal people and normal plants on Violet's side.

"Irene said there is no difference between the world and hell."

Elizabeth said mockingly: "She has never been to hell at all. Even the ghouls in the Hungry Hell live better than the living people in Violet."

Lip thought of those pot-bellied pilgrims.

He suddenly had a question - Violet civilians and most of the sergeants were different from Eileen and the other nuns.

They endured more pain, but they were not brainwashed by the Holy See from an early age like the nuns.

And these people are not like those who are full and have so much sentiment wasted on loyalty to the kingdom of heaven.

So, what is the reason that makes the Violet people still stick to it?

[No matter what the reason is, this belief is extremely powerful and firm. 】

At this time, Li Pu and the others had already entered the castle.

After passing a rotating stone staircase, the three of them came directly to a small door on the side of the hall.

There were longing figures in the hall, but not all of them were nobles and guests.

Mostly civilians.

If you look closely, you will see that the door at the back of the hall is open and filled with civilians.

It seems that something must have happened in the city during these few hours. Then, some civilians poured into the hall.

There were many people in the hall, but it was very quiet.

A man dressed as an Orion was pressed under the Duke's high seat by several knights.

In front of the man was a blood-stained silver sword—it seemed to be his murder weapon.

The silver sword was of very fine quality, even better than the one at Sir Charles's waist.

The man is not a sergeant, has no title, is not loyal to any lord, and is a free citizen.

But his status among civilians is not ordinary.

And from the way the Duke looked at this man, it could be seen that the Duke knew him.

At this time, Li Pu noticed that there were many blood stains on the man's body. Some blood stains have dried up - these dried blood should belong to others. Some of the blood was new and still steaming slightly - it was his own blood.

There was a horrific gash in his neck - the blood had dried up.

The Duke was sitting on a high seat, listening to the plain narrative from this 'demon-slaying warrior'.

"So, I killed my wife and mother. They successfully fell into hell with their heavy sins. However, I could not allow myself to gain true relief."

The man seems to be a brave man who has been resolutely fighting against evil.

He did too many good things for Violet and the Duke. His soul is too pure and too clean. Doing a few bad things can't make him fall into hell.

Moreover, what he did today was not a bad thing - he killed his wife and mother, but he was still 'slaying demons'.

"I have been dead for a long time. But the faith that people place on me and the mist in the sky are holding me back - they have locked my soul in my body."

"Perhaps only the real Demon King can take me away."

The man's narration was calm and numb, because his heart had stopped beating long ago.

"Grand Duke Alfred, you are also a demon king, right? People say that the demon kings have imposed a lot of authority, throne and wealth on you in the world and in hell, although this is not what you want."

"I beg you, use your dark power to let me fall into hell."

"Catherine, little Carl, and my mother and father are all waiting for me in hell."

"Let's reunite."

[The human world is much worse than hell. 】

[The brave man who once fought against the demon returned to his hometown with hope after slaying the demon for the last time. 】

[He opened the door to the warm home and saw his wife and mother steaming meat. 】

["Have a bowl, my child, have a bowl. Eat before you go, the road ahead is long." The mother held her stomach and said to her son painfully. That pot of mushroom stew was filled with poison. 】

[The brave man knows that his youngest son is not in the pot - the neighbors next door are also stewing meat. 】

[Mother and wife have endured too much torture in this life. The brave man did not let them experience too much pain before dying. 】

[Before the mother and wife were poisoned to death, the brave man sent them to hell - they shouldered the sin and had the right to die. 】

[I thought that after killing my mother and wife, I would be baptized by sin. You can die successfully after committing suicide, and then let your heavy soul fall into hell. 】

[But he was not guilty because he was killing the devil. 】

[Devils. They are definitely not devils. 】

[Live and die. These simple needs should not become the root cause of them becoming devils. 】

[It seems that recalling these things, the hero becomes even more painful]

[This icy city made this once passionate warrior feel the bone-chilling cold in one day. 】

[What he held on to in his heart has faded. Now he just wants to go to that warm purgatory and reunite with his family. 】

Seeing the current appearance of the comrade who once fought alongside him, the Duke closed his eyes in pain.

"Charlie, take him to Luna."

The Duke finally made an opening on this matter: "Adam, you are free, follow Charlie. Themis will punish you."

[There are rumors from the outside that Duke Alfred often sends the people in his territory to purgatory. 】

[Hence the name Demon King. 】

The hero's story was over, but there were other people in the crowd, kneeling in front of the Duke.

He had the same appeal and experienced the same tragic story.

The Duke has already opened a hole in the matter of conferring guilt.

And the story of the Violet Man is endless.

Stories like this will continue to happen tomorrow.

When the Duke finished handling the matter and looked for Nip and his daughters again, they were no longer there.

"Today's dinner is so delicious!" Elizabeth patted her belly and said on the way to the underground area, "This is the real Holy Communion!"

Katerina wiped away the grease from Elizabeth's mouth with her handkerchief.

"Do you two still have any conscience?" Li Pu said angrily: "I listened to three stories in a row, but it didn't affect your appetite!"

"Nip! How can you say that? This is a tragedy in the world!" Elizabeth pointed at her eyes and said, "My eyes were swollen from crying when I was eating!"

"Me too, I felt really uncomfortable just now. Nip, you have to talk to Dante tonight. The matter of Bitter Fern can't be delayed any longer. Although they... hiccup, although they can't solve the fundamental problem, they can We can control things here. Otherwise, everyone will become pilgrims."

Katerina's eyes were also red. She burped—Elizabeth was right, the roast pork leg tonight was indeed delicious.

"You two guys, you just treat those things as a sad movie for dinner!" Li Pu was a little angry.

The two ladies were also a little angry.

Elizabeth snatched the chicken leg from Li Pu's hand: "Then you still eat it while walking!

Katerina flipped through the book on the side, checked the records, and added angrily: "This guy ate eight chicken legs today!"

"Of course you have to fill your stomach before you get down to business!"

Li Pu raised the chicken legs in his hands to avoid Elizabeth, and spat out the chicken bones in his mouth.

He said to Katerina who was flipping a book behind him: "Don't worry, I will finish the matter in front of me later and then talk to Dante - he will ask me for it."

[After taking Themis to witness the awakening of Saint/Yeshathemis, Dante will indeed come to talk to Nip. 】

Katerina, who was flipping through a book on the side, saw this line of narration. Then, she suddenly realized a problem.

'Nip the idiot! Had he forgotten the question, or was he going crazy? ! '

She hurriedly caught up with the two people in front of her, stuffed the book into Li Pu's arms, and motioned for him to take a look.

[Katerina didn’t dare let Elizabeth hear what happened next. So she communicated with you by 'passing notes'. 】

【You will understand in seconds. 】

['Nip, have you ever noticed that in the mission 'Butterfly', the Book of Redemption mentioned that we will witness the awakening of the Saint or Yeshathemis in the garden! '】

[Kajielina is very anxious because she knows that the mission rewards in the Book of Redemption are all prophecies. 】

[So, according to this meaning, if Li Pu goes to the Hidden Garden, then the Saint or Yeshathemis will definitely wake up. 】

[Therefore, Katerina suddenly discovered that they seemed unable to go to the Hidden Garden. 】

[Looking at the narration in front of him, Li Pu thought to himself: 'Of course I remember it. Just because I knew this was going to happen, we had to go. And Elizabeth must be taken with her. ”]

["Why?" Katerina couldn't understand Li Pu's logic. 】

["Because there is only one person in the world." Li Pu looked at the storybook with excitement and thought about the logic of his psychosis. 】

[Cajeelena: "?"]

['This person can't be me, it can't be you, and it can never be the Saint or Yeshathemis - but it can be Elizabeth. '】

["Can you stop going crazy, Nip! I can't understand you!" Katerina grabbed her hair. 】

[Cajeelen doesn’t know if others can become Elizabeth, but she feels that if she continues to discuss it, she will become Margaret. In recent days, she has become more and more understanding of Margaret’s feelings. . 】

[Margaret must have gone crazy because she exchanged too many truths with Li Pu! 】
