The boring life of the white devil

Although Aicilia had reminded Soleichuan of this and that millions of times before the ceremony, when the ceremony actually started, Soleichuan felt awkward no matter what.

How should I put it... I have never appeared in front of so many people with a positive image. It should be said that I have stage fright.

Chapter 2 The so-called hero

Yes, the devil who could scream with the steward under the throne, but after putting on such noble clothes, he became uncomfortable all over, like millions of ants crawling over his body, and everyone was so envious and respectful. His eyes were burning his exposed white skin.

What a funny thing. A few months ago, the demon who was despised by all humans has now transformed into the most watched imperial hero in the empire.

But most people don't care about his previous identity. In the sinking atmosphere, they are all yearning for a hero, no matter who they are, as long as they can save themselves in the future.

Even though the long-awaited Empire Hero looks like this, he has passed the test of the King of Heroes before he can reach this point, so no one present has any doubts.

The priest gently cleared his throat. He was wearing a red robe and had a place in the Holy See. He slowly began to read in a rich tone, "He is the hero of the empire. Soleichuan ·Kuktern, he brought good news to our great Percy Empire, he found the legendary sword of the Valkyrie and brought the Valkyrie Sword back to Saint Florid."

The Sword of Valkyrie, according to Bukchi, is the name of the plan to create the Cyborg Valkyrie and the entire set of equipment.Soleichuan did not find such a thing, but only brought back a black sword to judge the crime.However, Soleichuan did not tell the empire everything about their trip, and reported to the empire that the black sword was the Sword of Valkyrie.

However, Black Sword Duan Zui did have the ability to absorb magical energy, so almost everyone within the empire believed this.The other most important thing that convinced them was Crawford's head.

Even if the empire has never announced the matter of the Icy Plateau to the outside world, almost all the affairs officers in the Congress know about such things. The crusade against Crawford should have been carried out long ago. Due to the transfer of power and the subsequent Because the war in the south has not started yet.

And this time Soleichuan brought the black sword and Crawford's head together, few people would doubt the authenticity of their words. At least His Majesty Dio Astaire completely trusted Soleichuan after seeing it. Lei Chuan and the others.

That's why he was canonized as a hero of the empire.

As a legendary weapon, if it can be found and used, it can help in many places, at least in terms of morale.

The priest continued, "He, Soleichuan Kuktern, although he is not a human being, as a demon, he still made great contributions to our Percy Empire. He chopped off the heads of the demons entrenched in the north of the empire. After that, his righteous act of killing relatives made us feel his loyalty to the empire! Next, he is about to embark on the battlefield in the south to defend our motherland! Drive the invaders out of our homeland! Let the eagle flag of the empire fly in the All of Ellenviere!”

To be honest, although this priest did not have any doubts about the death of the imperial hero this time, he still had concerns about Soleichuan's identity. When he read these kind words, he felt unhappy. After all, he had been raped by the Holy See before. A person who has just been sentenced as a first-level heretic will immediately become a hero of the empire, and there will be some resistance.But he will never question the orders of the King of Heroes.

Yes, people need a hero, a hero with a strange origin. The act of killing demons despite being a demon makes the people feel that this is a reliable hero even more.The devil who has even killed his own kind must have turned his heart towards humans.The superstitious belief in the Hero King made the people feel that this imperial hero was well-deserved.

More importantly, as long as he can defeat the surging threat from the south, anything else is fine. The power of a demon makes people feel more powerful than a human hero.

"Long live Lord Cooktern!"

There were also people below who couldn't restrain their emotions and started shouting.

Soleichuan gave a slightly embarrassed smile to the people who cheered for him.

The red priest on the side kept calm as he repeatedly read the praises of Soleichuan's merits. There were many waves in his heart. He was grateful that he could sing the praises of the heroes of the empire, and he was also worried that the devil would become the hero of the empire.

The parade of this ceremony started at noon, and after that, they were presented with hero badges in the palace. The whole ceremony ended just before the sunset in the evening.

Then a special meeting was held, which mainly discussed the future war situation in the south, and how to arrange the imperial hero Soleichuan in the military headquarters and what position he should be given.

However, the person involved in the incident fell asleep on his head during the meeting.

Although the strength of the conservatives has been slowly disappearing in the past few months, there are still remaining parties that are still making a last-ditch struggle. Under such circumstances, they will also propose the method of "ceding territory and seeking peace."

Therefore, the quarrel at the meeting continued until late at night. In the end, the meeting had nothing to do with Soleichuan and became a battlefield between conservatives and radicals.Soleichuan closed his eyes like this and slept standing until late at night. The parade during the day really made his tense nerves feel exhausted.

It wasn't until he heard someone shouting, "Meeting dismissed!" with a similar sound that Suoleichuan opened his eyes, looked for the door and walked out.

"Oh, you are indeed a hero of the empire. You have developed the ability to fall asleep even while standing!" An extremely sarcastic voice came from behind Soleichuan.

Soleichuan scratched the back of his head and said, "It turns out to be Master Aiflor." In fact, Soleichuan didn't remember who Aiflor was at all, but because there was a name tag on the blue uniform, he casually said it.

Ai Fuluo was the steward who confronted Soleichuan in this palace. Now that he has been canonized as a hero of the empire, he feels unhappy in every possible way. However, he can see that Soleichuan has indeed done so many great things. So I could only look at Soleichuan's lazy look and sneer at him. Regarding the future, I still hope to cooperate with this guy.

Ai Fuluo doesn't have to worry about the conservatives at all now. After he took up the position of Chairman of the Military Affairs Officer, he has almost completely eliminated the conservatives. Those elderly parasites in the empire have been eliminated one by one by Ai Fuluo. stage.There is no doubt about Soleichuan's loyalty to the empire. If he has second thoughts, there is no need to return to St. Florid after this exile.

Chapter 3 The so-called hero

"Ah, how should I put it? I don't know what's going on today. I feel particularly lethargic." Soleichuan said perfunctorily in a haha ​​tone.

"Haha, don't you just feel lack of energy today?" As a regular knight and the leader of the Crimson Knights, Aicilia also participated in this meeting.

"Yeah, how should I put it? I don't know what's going on today, and I feel particularly lethargic." Soleichuan corrected his statement and added "and".His eyelids were drooped, as if he didn't care at all about the answers from senior officials like the Chairman of the Military Affairs Office.

Now Ai Fuluo doesn't care about this kind of thing anymore. He can already see the light in Soleichuan, and he is determined to use this lazy demon for himself and transform it into his ideal country from within the empire. , peaceful and orderly, but in this process, many cruel methods must be used.

"Haha, seeing that the two of you still have no tense atmosphere as always, I can feel at ease. It seems that everything is developing towards a good place." Ai Fuluo took a step forward and met Solei. Chuan and Aicilia walked out of the door of the Congress Hall side by side.

"As always? It seems that Mr. Ai Fuluo really cares about us all the time."

Aecilia became alert, but she did not use a hostile tone. As far as she knew, this was the first time they had spoken such loose words in front of Ai Fuluo.The previous meeting was a few months ago. At that time, it was a confrontation and full of the smell of gunpowder.But now that Ai Fuluo has said such words, it is very likely that many people have been sent to monitor Soleichuan and his actions.

"You two have a good rest at night. You may get busy after returning to the empire." Ai Fuluo just smiled, nodded towards Soleichuan, and left quickly.

"This Ai Fuluo is really scary." Soleichuan tilted his head and said to Aicilia.

"You shouldn't have to worry too much. It's not unreasonable to be the youngest lion in the empire. I don't think he has the need to go against us. After all, you are the hero of the empire now..." Speaking of the words "hero of the empire" At this time, Aicilia couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

"Hey! What do you mean when you suddenly giggled when you reached that place?"

"It's nothing...it's just that this title goes well with your image..." Aicilia laughed again before finishing her sentence, and stopped while holding her belly.

"Yes, I feel that wearing this expensive and luxurious clothes on me is such a waste!" Soleichuan touched the clothes given by the King of Heroes on his body, "Don't laugh anymore! Even I would feel that It’s embarrassing!”

Some of the surrounding affairs officers were attracted by Aicilia's exaggerated smile, and they were all talking about something.

"Even if it's you... Even if it's you..." Aicilia seemed to have difficulty speaking normally.

"I always feel like," Soleichuan's face suddenly returned to calmness, "it seems like we haven't seen this kind of atmosphere for a long time, saying silly things and then laughing stupidly."

"Even if you say such sensational words, it is completely inconsistent with your image." Aicilia also calmed down a little.

The two returned to the assigned residence, which was a different room from before.

This time, Soleichuan was given a house within the second city wall. It was not temporarily lent to them as a place to live, and it was equipped with ten maids and housekeepers.

Only those who are blood related to the Hero King are allowed to have their own private residences within the first city wall. Even if the heroes of the empire are noble and full of honor, they can only live in the second city wall with those high-ranking officials of the empire.

The Royal City is a circular town. From the outside to the inside, there are the third city wall, the second city wall and the first city wall. The strength of the walls is also different.Of course, the strongest one is definitely the first city wall.

By the way, the private residence of the military affairs officer, Speaker Ai Fuluo, is in the area within the third city wall.

The residence given to Soleichuan by the King of Heroes is not too far away.

However, the level of luxury was unacceptable to Soleichuan. It was a three-story house with nearly twenty rooms, which made Soleichuan feel like he had entered a maze.

"Mr. Cooktern, welcome back."

When Soleichuan entered, there were already two maids waiting at the door.They wore blue and white maid outfits with white lace headbands on their heads.

Although this was not the first time he heard this kind of address when he entered this house, Soleichuan couldn't get used to it, "Hey... I mean, I've said it many times, don't call me master... Although I don’t have any special advantages, I just have a little confidence in my youth.”

Soleichuan planned to correct their strange calling today. He stood at the door without entering the house. Thinking of being called by the same master all the time in the future, he couldn't calm down in his heart.

"But... sir, you are the current hero of the empire. We really can't call you by any other name." One of the maids looked at Soleichuan with longing eyes, "Or, sir, you can decide on a title. From now on, we can Just call you what you want.”

Just the words "master" and "you" in this sentence, as well as the sparkling eyes, had already made Soleichuan on the verge of collapse and caused countless goosebumps all over his body.

It is their greatest honor to be able to perform housekeeping activities in the homes of imperial heroes.The ten servants in Soleichuan's family are all paid by the empire's funds, without Soleichuan spending any money.

Soleichuan slapped his mouth and said, "Then let's call Brother Soleichuan!"

In fact, the two maids were older than Soleichuan. They were probably around 25 or [-] years old and were transferred from the imperial palace.

"This one……"

After hearing Soleichuan's words, the two maids looked at each other awkwardly.For the royal relatives who are used to serving those arrogant royal relatives in the royal court, they really feel good about this imperial hero who seems to be very amiable now.But I really can't deal with this kind of master who is joking with me, and I have never encountered him before.

"Brother Soleichuan, you stayed at the door for too long!"

Aicilia's angry voice came from behind, and then Soleichuan was kicked into the door by Aicilia.

Aicilia took out the sword from her waist and deliberately shined the reflection of the sword into the maid's eyes. "Hey, you two, just call this idiot a moron from now on. Do you understand?" The reflection in her eyes was revealed. The look that came out was obviously threatening.

Chapter 4 The Night of Sneak Attack

The two maids, Aicilia, drew their weapons and immediately knelt down. They were so trembling that they didn't dare to say anything, but kept apologizing.

Suddenly, Aicilia turned around suddenly and heard two sounds of "Qiang - Qiang -".

Two severed bows and arrows could be seen on the ground by the light in the room.

"Look, I kicked you to protect you." Faced with such a weak bow and arrow, Aicilia could still joke at Soleichuan.

"Liar!"

Aicilia shrugged and continued to look at her surroundings.My vision was very poor in the dark night. I had only defended myself when I heard the sound. In fact, I had no idea which direction the arrow was flying from.Scanning the night, there were almost no pedestrians outside. At this time, except for the frightened voices of the two maids behind, no other noise could be heard.

There was no way to tell where the enemy was.

"What is this!" Soleichuan, who had been kicked over by Aicilia before, suddenly stood up and said to the two maids, "You two, hurry up and enter the house."

At least this place still belongs to the royal city, and those who sneak attack will not act recklessly and launch a large-scale attack.The other party's targets were Soleichuan and Aicilia, so at least the house was safe.

The two maids screamed and ran into the house.

However, Soleichuan's judgment failed. With two miserable screams, the two maids fell down and blood flowed out of the room.

When Soleichuan gritted his teeth and was about to rush forward, the two people who were about to rush out from the room were already killed by Aicilia's lightning.

"If you ruin the clothes given to you by the King of Heroes, it will not be as simple as becoming a first-level heretic!" In order to prevent Soleichuan from rashly joining the battle and ruining the clothes, so he was unable to control his power, so Ai Celia used her greatest magic power in this attack.

She rushed to the two men in black in the house and could already smell a burning smell.He used his sword to lift their masks, revealing the faces of two middle-aged uncles. Soleichuan also rushed over and tested their breath with his hands.

"They are all dead. You should leave them alive, so there is no way to know who sent them." Suoleichuan immediately took off the gold-trimmed clothes, and the knots were untied. It took a long time.

Aicilia offered no explanation.

After Soleichuan took off the luxurious clothes, he should have felt relaxed, but after seeing that both maids had been slashed in the abdomen, his mood became very heavy.

At this time, the 50-year-old housekeeper ran out of the house, "Master, what happened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the maid on the ground.

"Marcus, don't be anxious. Call two people and send these two maids to Bukchi who lives in the Sunset Tavern. You need to be quick!" Soleichuan can only remember the names of the servants at home. Just the butler Marcus's.

Marcus, who had a gray beard, was a little lost. Although he had been a housekeeper for many years, he had never encountered such a thing in the royal city. "But... don't you need to send him to the hospital?"

"That guy named Bukchi is much better than the doctor."

Soleichuan saw that the chests of the two maids were still heaving. If they hadn't died yet, Bukchi's healing technique should be able to work.

After entering the royal city, the people of Linfeng County were arranged by the empire to live in special residences, while Bukchi has been living in the hotel.Soleichuan once invited him to live with him in his residence, but Bukchi refused, saying, "Oh, oh, oh, I just want to be a free gentleman who swims around."

Suoleichuan always felt that he must have misunderstood the meaning of a gentleman.

Seeing the butler Marcus, he immediately went back to the house and called two more maids, then put the maids on their horses and left in a hurry.As they left, Soleichuan asked Marcus to make as little noise as possible.

Suoleichuan squatted down and searched the two corpses for their belongings.Suddenly, he felt something hard on his chest, and Soleichuan tore the assassin's black shirt into pieces.

"People from the military?" Aicilia said what she saw without thinking much.

What was exposed inside was the uniform of the Imperial Military. The emblem on the chest was a silver eagle with two spears crossed under it, which was the symbol of the Persian Imperial Military.

Soleichuan smiled and said, "It seems that we really got into trouble with a very special person."

"As for the military department, all personnel should be under the control of Ai Fuluo now." Aicilia said with a puzzled expression.

"Do you think that arrogant Affairs Officer Chairman will send someone to assassinate me?" Soleichuan immediately rejected this idea in his heart.

Aicilia smiled and said, "It seems that it's the person who caused some trouble for Mr. Ai Luo."

"If you want to assassinate us, now that you know...ahem, I am a hero of the empire." Soleichuan felt very ashamed when he said that he was a "hero of the empire", so he paused, "Then It’s impossible to send out such crappy stuff.”

Soleichuan continued, "Two bows and arrows, and two guys who were casually killed with one hit, do they want our lives? Even if they don't take the title of Empire Hero in their eyes, they will always remember it. There must be a true knight next to this idiot devil. That is a title earned through actual strength."

Aicilia chuckled, "Even if you praise me now, you won't get any benefits at all. But if it looks like this, even if Marcus is careful, there will definitely be a storm tomorrow. "

"These two soldiers are just poor people who followed orders. Find a place to bury them." Soleichuan clapped his hands and stood up. He now fully understood in his heart what was going on.

"Are you crazy? Do you want to bury them in the royal city?" Aicilia couldn't help but be surprised by Soleichuan's proposal.

"That's right. Throwing garbage anywhere is not allowed in the royal city, and such a sophisticated place shouldn't be allowed to bury corpses anywhere." Soleichuan seemed to have just thought about this problem, "Then just leave it. Bring it to the Congress Hall tomorrow. Let the King of Heroes make the decision. Maybe Ai Fuluo will know something about these two faces."

At the entrance of the gate, the remaining maids stood there timidly, holding mops in their hands to clean.But after seeing the corpse, he couldn't take a step forward.

Soleichuan walked over and said, "Give me the mop and I'll clean the floor."

"But...but..." The timid expressions of several maids revealed that their previous master was not a kind person.

"It doesn't matter, I am what I am"
