After Transmigrating to Become the Daughter of a Duke, I Just Want to Pursue a Career

"Ask this baby~"

"Sorry~ Your Excellency the judge, we can't explain this question to you."

"All we know is that this baby's name is [Magic Thunderbolt], and it was made by the little girl at home. We didn't pay much attention to the specific principle when we took it, but we thought it was easy to use anyway."

Speaking of this, Vinish suddenly changed the topic, then narrowed her eyes and asked with a coquettish smile,

"Your Excellency, the judge, we have answered your question seriously, so why don't you also explain our question? How long can you last?"

Hearing what Vinice said, Alves slightly closed his eyes, and then he responded sincerely,

"Six times. If it is as hard as before, I can only last up to six more times."

"Activating the [Holy Barrier] of the Holy Grail requires a lot of divine grace (magic energy). With my current ability, I can only support it six more times at most."

"That's why..." After hearing Alves' reply, Venisch raised the corners of her mouth slightly, stretched gracefully, then stood up straight leisurely, with a serious expression on her face. Looking expectantly at the old man in front of him,

"Is your Excellency the judge planning to leave? Let's declare in advance that although there are not many [Magic Thunder] in our hands, there are far more than six."

"Hehe, if it's possible, we really don't want to see the great and noble Judge, His Excellency being blown to pieces."

"I'm very sorry..." At this moment, Alves shook his head calmly when he heard Vinish's threatening words.

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. This time, no matter what, I have to see the princess."

"What I have done here is related to the survival of the church and the future of the human world. This is a sacred mission given to me by the Lord, and I cannot evade it!"

"That's it..." After hearing Alves' announcement, the six Venices raised their mouths together, and then, a cold voice surrounded Alves from all directions,

"Then there is no other way. Although we don't want to provoke the church, the insistence of the presiding judge leaves us with no choice~~"

At this moment, after hearing the chilling warning sound coming from his ear, and seeing the Vinices who were obviously about to make another move, Alves let out a deep breath, and then, he suddenly lowered his head. He lowered his head, and then slowly took out a heavy book with a metallic luster from his luggage.And the moment he took out the book, the expression of Vinny, who had been vigilant all the time, suddenly changed. Then, a black light flashed, and when he looked over, there was no longer Vinny on the field. The figure of poetry.

"【Book of the Devout】!"

"Damn hyena, are you crazy—?!"

A moment later, Vinice's angry cursing sounded from the empty street, but for some reason, there was a sense of desperation in her voice,

"Did you bring this thing out to make the world fight another jihad of annihilation?!"

Facing Vinice's cursing and accusations, Alves held the book in one hand and the Holy Grail in the other, and responded calmly,

"The direction in which the world is heading has deviated from the path of light, and someone needs to bring it back on track."

"Maybe what lies ahead of us is Hell and Thunder, but under the watchful eye of our Lord, everything is worth it~"

"Madman, you lunatic!" Hearing Alves' response, Venische violently cursed and violently released the anger in her heart, but she was really helpless for Alves' behavior at this time. .

As for why Vinice is so afraid of the book-like thing in Alves' hands, the reason is very simple. The thing called [Book of the Devout] is a sacred artifact handed down from ancient times. It is a weapon that is extremely terrifying to most people.

This sacred artifact does not have strong offensive and defensive capabilities, nor does it have the thaumaturgy to save lives and heal the wounded. The reason why it is so frightening is because of the ability it carries...to enlighten.

Or rather, mind control!

That's right, this is a weapon that can control the will of intelligent life individuals.

And what's even more frightening is that, unlike other magic devices with mind control ability, [Book of the Devout] has permanent control over the target and will not affect the subject's IQ. It can turn the target into a A mental puppet with sanity.

Historically, [Book of the Devout] has always been "great in battle". Although there are not many targets successfully controlled by it, each of them is very famous. Among them are not only powerful mage knights, but also nobles with high status. It is said that the rapid development of the church in the early stage is inseparable from the [Book of the Devout].

However, due to the arrogance of the high-level church in a certain period of time, they abused this power, which eventually aroused public anger in the human world, thus triggering the famous holy war of annihilation in history.

The church almost perished in this battle, and finally had to formally promise to give up the rights of the secular world under the witness of all "enthusiasts". At the same time, those sacred objects that were a major threat to world peace were destroyed. , Sealing, and "gifting", many sacred artifacts, including the "Book of the Devout", disappeared from the public's sight during this period.

As a matter of course, a terrifying weapon like the [Book of the Devout], which is extremely threatening and has caused countless tragic endings, will inevitably leave its heavy footprints in the world.Therefore, even though it has disappeared for nearly a hundred years, Vinice, who has a wealth of knowledge, still recognized it the first time she saw it.

For such a terrifying weapon, Vinish is naturally terrified. It is really hard for her to imagine what she will look like after being controlled by this thing... She would rather die than be obliterated!

After a while, after Vinice barely suppressed her fear of the [Book of the Devout], the powerful female mage suddenly stared wide open. At this moment, she finally realized the purpose of Alves' trip. The real purpose, the other party said just now that he wanted to have a good talk with the eldest daughter, I'm afraid it's not just a simple talk.

"Damn it, Alves, you dirty, mad dog!"

After figuring out Alves' purpose, Vinish, who was hiding in the shadows, was immediately disgusted. At this moment, she wanted to skin the person in front of her very urgently and sincerely.

However, even though the anger in his heart was already burning, the great deterrent power of the [Book of the Devout] made Vinish dare not move at all. In the end, he could only look at the presiding judge of the church with a calm expression. Aaron Marquis mansion moved on.

But at the next moment, just as Vinish was staring at Alves with a ferocious face, anxiously thinking about how to deal with it, she suddenly found that Alves, who was advancing, stopped for some reason.

Seeing this, Vinice, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help being slightly taken aback. Then, she saw with a look of surprise that a figure in a cloak slowly appeared in front of Alves.

After blinking her eyes, just as Vinish was hesitating whether to remind the uninvited guest of the danger here, the cloaked man suddenly took off the hood on his head, exposing his face to the faint moonlight. Down.

It was an unremarkable face, but it was such a face that instantly excited the anxious Vinny. …

"Sword Saint Amos!"

Alves, who recognized the identity of the person opposite him at almost the same time as Vinish, slowly pronounced the name. At this moment, his face no longer had the calmness just now, only the ultimate solemnity remained. .

Even though he held two powerful holy artifacts in his hands, Alves knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for him to win the Sword Saint Amos.

[Book of the Devout] is indeed powerful, but it is by no means unsolvable, and Sword Saint Amos happens to be one of the people who has the "solution".

At this moment, looking at the Sword Saint Amos who was walking towards him, Alves, who realized that the purpose of his trip must not be achieved, quickly decided to give up, first took a deep breath, and then opened his mouth, seems to want to say something.

However, the moment he just opened his mouth, a high-pitched dragon chant suddenly resounded from the sky and the earth!

Immediately afterwards, a bright purple sword light came out of the void with a mighty momentum, like thunder from the nine heavens, tearing apart the pitch-black night between lightning and flint!

At this moment, Alves, who was facing the sharp sword light, felt that everything around him seemed to be returning to nothingness, and only the light in front of him was left in the whole world!

Unstoppable and unavoidable!

After a short while, the brilliance faded away, and everything returned to silence......

"Whoo~"

Alves panted violently with a dry throat. He had never been so clearly aware that he was still alive, and that his existence had not been erased by the world.

He tried his best to raise his head, with a sharp aura that almost pierced his skin, he looked straight ahead with some difficulty. In his sight, a long sword shining with purple glare was slowly being retracted into its sheath, and that The person holding the sword continued to move forward expressionlessly, as if the soul-shattering sword he had just cut was just a trivial matter.

Staring blankly at the sword-wielder who was approaching him, Alves instinctively wanted to do something, but just as soon as he moved, he suddenly felt that his hands were empty.Looking down, I realized that at some point, the two holy artifacts in my hands were like sculptures made of gravel, turning into countless dust, falling from the gap between my fingers towards the ground.

Obviously, although the sword just did not kill Alves, it destroyed the two holy artifacts in his hand, or in other words, the purpose of that sword was only to destroy the sacred artifacts.

With no holy artifact in his hands and a strong enemy in sight, Alves gave up his resistance after sighing softly. He closed his eyes and silently waited for the end of his life.

However, after waiting for a long time, the pain of death did not come, only a sharp cold wind rushed past, Alves subconsciously opened his eyes, and then found that the invincible existence had already rubbed shoulders with him And pass.

Afterwards, Alves, who stood still, silently watched the back of the sword-wielding man disappear into the night, just like the other party's arrival without a sound, and disappeared without a sound.

After an unknown amount of time, Alves, who finally calmed down, sighed with a complex expression. He didn't intend to stay in Port Chris any longer.Although Sword Saint Amos didn't kill him, Alves still knew very well that the other party didn't want to see him stay in Chris Port.

As the presiding judge of the church, Alves has always been a very realistic person. When he knows that things cannot be done, he will never stand up.

However, just when Alves raised his foot and was about to embark on the road to leave Chris Port, his body suddenly paused slightly, and then, he saw a strange shadow rising from under his feet like lightning, Then it turned into a deadly thorn and struck fiercely at his vitals.

After dodging the attack in embarrassment, staring at the dark attribute mana that suddenly surged like a tide in front of him, and feeling the anger in the heart of the manipulator behind him from the mana, Alves could not help but sigh softly , he understands that his return journey may not be so easy......

Chapter 104 101. Katerina's Counterattack

"......Those disgusting god sticks, scum that deserves to go to hell, how dare they—?!"

Half an hour later, in a certain room in the mansion of Marquis Aaron, a sharp low growl sounded suddenly.

With Alves retreating, the specific reasons for the incident had already been turned into pieces of intelligence in the hands of the spies, and were quickly conveyed to Katerina.After learning the purpose of Alves' trip, before Katerina, who was the party involved in the incident, had time to speak, Celia on the side had already shown extreme rage.

At this moment, I saw this woman who was a maid in name, but in fact regarded herself as the guardian knight of the girl. Angry flames were burning in her beautiful eyes, like a ferocious beast whose territory ownership had been provoked , she held the hilt of the sword tightly with her palm, and her fierce aura bloomed uncontrollably, as if she would choose someone to cut at any time.

"Calm down, calm down Celia......"

On the other hand, compared to Celia, who was controlled by violent emotions, Katerina herself seemed quite calm, and the girl's calmness was due to the fact that the matter was over, and it was meaningless to express anger. Out of a kind of absolute confidence in oneself.

As a spellcaster, Katerina has certainly heard of the "famous name" of the [Book of the Devout], but unlike others, the girl has never worried that she will be controlled by this book.

The reason is very simple, the girl's soul has some very special characteristics, even the so-called gods can't change her soul.

As for why Katerina knew this, it was because the god who forced her to travel through another world tried to erase her memory before forcing her into this world, but failed in the end. She can only travel through time while retaining her memory.

Although Katerina didn't know the reason, it was obvious that how could a mere broken book be considered by a girl for something that even a god couldn't do?

"Look, am I okay~?"

At this moment, looking at her own maid who was rarely out of control, Katerina tilted her head and smiled, and then comforted her with a relaxed expression,

"Besides, didn't His Excellency the Sword Saint Amos already destroy that thing?"

"So, don't pay too much attention to it, be careful if you get angry~~"

"Miss!" At this moment, seeing Katerina's attitude towards this incident so casually, thinking that the girl didn't know the seriousness of it, Celia said anxiously,

"This matter is not that simple. According to the 'Holy Hidden Agreement', [Book of the Devout] must be sealed forever, otherwise, the church will be collectively sanctioned by all nobles in the entire world."

"But now, Alves not only brought out the [Book of the Devout], but also tried to hurt you with it. This is very abnormal!"

"Being able to bring the [Book of the Devout] out of the church is definitely not something that Alves can do alone. There must be many people in the church helping him."

"And this means that the enemies who are hostile to you are not only Alves, or even the Inquisition Chamber, but the entire church is hostile to you!"

"Miss, your situation is very dangerous now, we......"

"Pause!"

At this moment, before Celia finished speaking, Katerina smiled and waved her hand, interrupting her maid's next words,

"Seria, thank you for your concern, but you really think too much about this matter~~"

Speaking of this, Katerina glanced at Celia, whose face was full of anxiety, first sighed lightly, and then patiently explained,

"Trust me, this matter is not as dangerous as you think."

"Although I don't know why, judging from the current situation, there must be people who are inexplicably hostile to me like Alves in the church, but this is by no means the will of the entire church. Can occupy the majority."

"You may wish to think about it, the priests of Chris's churches, have they shown any hostile attitude towards me recently?"

"The church is the basic structure of the church. The daily behavior of the priests of the church often reflects the will of the top church. This time, Alves' actions did not receive the support of the churches at all."

"And judging from the characteristics of his actions, I feel that he was more improvised than a premeditated attack. If I'm not wrong, an apology letter from the church will be sent soon."

"So, don't worry, you'll be fine."

"But..." After listening to Katerina's explanation, the anxiety on Celia's face eased a lot, but her brows were still tightly knit together, obviously still in her heart. Have great worries.
